Mao Tongtong asked curiously: "The master doesn't even ask the reason for the matter, so he believes that the slave is right?" What if it was really the slave who bullied Mrs. Liu? ”

The eighth master glanced at her and said disdainfully: "The master is not so stupid that he can't even see this trick." ”

Tsk, Mao Tongtong rolled her eyes in her heart. I seem to be talking about how smart I am. How many men can't see the simple tricks of women. Or how many white lotuses are favored!

Of course, at this time, she definitely can't say that about the eighth master. Anyway, the eighth master's actions just now still made her very happy. not only helped her get rid of the Liu family, but also gave her face!

"Ye is really smart. The slave maid is stupid, and she didn't see what Mrs. Liu had in mind at first. I thought she was genuinely asking me for advice. Mao Tongtong had an admiring look on her face.

The eighth master really listened to it, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You, your heart is too real." One day, he was sold, and he helped the number of silver! ”

"Isn't this a master helping the slave and maid to watch!" Mao Tongtong said very naturally. When a man pampers a woman, he doesn't need the woman to bother with it. As for when she is not favored, probably no one will think about calculating her.

This kind of wholehearted trust made the smile on the eighth master's face even worse, but he said: "You are not afraid of making trouble for the master!" I didn't say that I learned to be smarter. ”

"Slaves can't learn." Mao Tongtong pouted: "I think about guarding against this and that, how tired I am!" The slave maid just wanted to be so simple. If you are really unlucky one day, the slave and maid will admit it. ”

The eighth master glanced at her, reached out to hold her hand, and said, "It's not cold today." ”

"Well, the Imperial Doctor's medicine is still very effective. The slave has been much better this month. Mao Tongtong replied.

The two of them revealed the topic just now.

This night, the eighth master stayed here at Mao Tongtong. looked at the sleeping people around him, and unconsciously brought a smile on his face. What a naïve woman, I hope she will remember what she said now in many years. It's too rare to keep your heart in the deep palace. So far, the person he has seen living most freely in this palace is about the fourth sister-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and Mao Mingxuan finally entered Beijing.

When TJ docked, he saw the person sent by his uncle Chen Junjie to pick him up, and his heart was a little more steady. Regardless of whether the uncle really welcomes it or not, at least what should be done on face is still done.

It was still Uncle Chen who came to pick up Mao Mingxuan.

"The eldest young master has worked hard all the way. The master ordered, let us rest here for one night, and enter Beijing tomorrow, so as not to be too rushed. ”

"There's Uncle Chen." Mao Mingxuan smiled slightly.

Before coming, E-Niang told him that Uncle Chen was the old man in the family, so he should be respected. Moreover, Uncle Chen has a good temperament, and he is also in charge of the front yard in his uncle's mansion. When I got to my uncle's house, I could find Uncle Chen for anything.

"The eldest young master is really powerful, next year's Spring Festival will definitely be able to be named on the gold list!" Uncle Chen said auspicious words.

The Chen family is in Chen Junjie's generation, and he is a scholar. When I won the Jinshi, it really made Mrs. Chen very happy. Nowadays, among the juniors, there is no material to read. And Chen Junjie's son is still too young, and he doesn't see anything outstanding now. It's a pity that he is not here now, otherwise he would have been happy to see his grandson so promising.

Mao Mingxuan still smiled slightly, and said humbly: "Uncle Chen, don't say that, Qiuqiu is just a competition between students in Yangzhou." There are many masters in Chunfu. I'm not sure. ”

"The eldest young master is too modest." Uncle Chen said with a smile.

This night, Uncle Chen took Mao Mingxuan and Xiaohuzi to find an inn to rest. Early in the morning of the second day, we set off for the capital.

When it was just dark, the three of them finally arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion.

The porter saw that it was Uncle Chen, and immediately went into the house to report. Uncle Chen led Mao Mingxuan's master and servant into the mansion together.

"The master, the lady and the eldest girl must still be waiting for the eldest young master to have dinner! Madame has already arranged the yard where you live. After dinner, it's time to rest. Uncle Chen introduced with a smile.

"I'm really bothering my uncle and aunt when I come here." Mao Mingxuan said apologetically.

"Master, I'm glad that the young master can come!" Chen Bodao.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Chen Bo only said that Chen Junjie was very happy with Mao Mingxuan's arrival, but he didn't say whether Su welcomed it.

Mao Mingxuan smiled and didn't speak.

When they arrived at the main courtyard and entered the house, sure enough, Chen Junjie, Su Shi and Chen Ruzhu were all waiting in the house.

"I've seen my uncle and aunt!" Mao Mingxuan hurriedly saluted.

"Sit down, sit down, it's been hard along the way." Chen Junjie smiled.

Su Shi also smiled kindly, and said, "Let's drink a cup of hot tea first, it's very cold outside." I'm going to have someone prepare dinner. ”

"I'm bothering my uncle and aunt." Mao Mingxuan said.

"This is your cousin, Ruzhu." Chen Junjie glanced at Chen Ruzhu Dao.

Chen Ruzhu hurriedly got up, blessed Mao Mingxuan, and said, "I've seen my cousin." ”

"Hello cousin." Mao Mingxuan also arched his hand, with a natural expression.

After the salute, Mao Mingxuan sat down.

Chen Junjie looked at Mao Mingxuan's polite appearance, and his heart was happy.

He himself was born in the imperial examination and liked to read books. Although Mao Mingxuan is considered a member of the Mao family, with a future, the Chen family is also bright.

Besides, now Mao Mingxuan is living in his house when he enters Beijing. Don't talk about the champion, just say the middle jinshi, that's also a happy event.

Chen Junjie asked a few more questions about the situation on the road, as well as whether Mao Chengyun and Chen's are doing now, and dinner was delivered.

After dinner, Su personally took Mao Mingxuan to his courtyard. Seeing that he only brought a small tiger and a small servant, he sent two more subordinates to serve.

By the time Mao Mingxuan settled down, it was already the end of the day.

This night, Mao Mingxuan did not sleep peacefully.

When I was a child, my memory of coming to the capital has been blurred, and when I look at it today, it is completely unfamiliar. But when I thought that there was my sister who had hurt from childhood to adulthood in the thick palace wall, I felt a little intimate in my heart.

It's an amazing feeling. knew that he couldn't see Mao Tongtong, but the longing in his heart seemed to have a place to put it.

In the main courtyard, Chen Junjie was talking to Su Shi about his impression of Mao Mingxuan.

"It's so big in a blink of an eye. looks like a talent. The eldest sister has cultivated well! ”

"A bookish body, worthy of reading." Su Shi naturally said something nice at this time.

"Tomorrow I will take the time to test his knowledge and see how good he is." Chen Junjie said.

"The first place in the foreign exam, I think it's good, but the master still wants to teach?" Su asked.

"That's nature. How can autumn be compared with spring! Let's see his level first, and then I'll think about asking the master. Chen Junjie said.
