Chapter 178: Where It Should Grow
Qingzhu dodged the pillow thrown by Mao Tongtong with a smile, and continued to pack her clothes.
It is precisely because Gege doesn't like to put her master's score, and she likes to laugh with them on weekdays, so she will talk to Gege more casually.
Mao Tongtong was in a good mood and slumped on the kang with big characters. The fact that this flesh grows where it should be is a cause for celebration is indeed. What woman wouldn't want her body to be more perfect?
Although it is impossible for her to develop tall in this life, she can lean on graceful!
"Qingzhu, I'm going to eat braised pork tonight!" Mao Tongtong said.
"Okay, Gege, slave maid, let Wu Dali go to the dining room." Qingzhu was busy.
Now she realizes that her family Gege is a meatless person, and she is proud of it. It's not like some women in the harem at all, who eat vegetarian for many days for blessings and the like. It's not just to keep in shape, eat extra reserved.
When I first served beside Gege, I felt that Gege's temperament was too cautious. Now it seems that it is just the discomfort of entering the palace for the first time. Now, Gege's temperament is being released little by little.
"Speaking of which, the master has been gone for half a month." Mao Tongtong asked suddenly.
"Seventeen days." Miao replied on the side.
"You remember it very well." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.
"Because it was fifteen on that day, the slave remembered that it was difficult to find the sun." Seedlings Road.
"Yes! It snowed for a long time before the sun came out. Mao Tongtong also recalled: "I don't know how the master's errand is doing?" With such a heavy snowfall, I hope there won't be too many places affected. ”
"It's been a lot of snow in the capital for years. I don't know if it's so big in other places. "Qingzhu Road.
"I heard that there is a lot of snow in the south this year! It snowed heavily in many places that hadn't snowed for years. "Seedlings said.
"Really?" It's the first time I've heard of Mao Tongtong.
She always stays in the backyard and doesn't go out, but she doesn't have palace maids like Qingmiao who are well-informed.
"The slave maid also listened to the little eunuch in the front yard." Seedlings Road.
"I don't know if there is a lot of snow in Yangzhou?" Mao Tongtong said.
Counting the days, the eldest brother Mao Mingxuan most likely came to the capital. In Yangzhou, there are only two left, Mao and Chen. I don't know what the two of them are doing in the garrison mansion on such a snowy day? Is it around the fireplace to enjoy the snow, and then think about the two brothers and sisters together?
At this time, Mao Tongtong, who was worried about Mao Tongtong, was not in the house.
Yangzhou City also suffered an unprecedented heavy snowfall, and under the leadership of the prefect, all the officials of Yangzhou City were busy with various disaster relief matters. Mao Carrier has been busy for a few days and has not returned home.
Chen sat alone in the room, flipped through the account book in his hand, put it aside casually, and said with a lonely expression: "Hey, the house is really deserted now!" ”
"It's a special time, and the lord is busy. I heard that the people affected by the disaster have almost been resettled. I guess I'll be back soon. Mama Wu said on the side.
"He's too honest. Others also know that they are busy and go home to have a look. When he arrived, he simply didn't come back. In the past few days, I don't know if he has eaten on time and taken care of himself. Chen worried.
"The lord is a good officer." Mama Wu said. It's just that his temperament is too sincere and he won't specialize, so now he is a garrison.
"That's it, that's what he is." Chen sighed and said, "It's windy outside today. You ask someone to send two more quilts. Cook another can of soup and send it to him, so that he can replenish his body. ”
"Yes, ma'am." Mama Wu answered, so she went out to order.
Chen sat down and thought of a pair of children again. I don't know if it's good in the capital.
For Mao Mingxuan, she is still a little more relieved. After all, it's a boy, and his temperament is also calm, and there are letters sent to him, so he knows something about the recent situation.
The most reassuring is Mao Tongtong. But it's useless if she doesn't worry, she can't do anything, she can't get any news.
Thinking about it alone, he burst into tears, and Chen wiped it silently again, picked up the ledger on the side and looked at it.
"Madam, Miss Zhao is here." Mama Wu walked in from outside.
"It's Fleur, let her in." A smile appeared on Chen's face.
Zhao Furong walked in from outside wearing a bright red cloak.
"Fleur has seen her aunt." Zhao Furong saluted with a smile.
"Why don't you stay at home on this cold day? Sit down and warm up with a cup of hot tea. Chen greeted with a smile.
"I'm coming to see my aunt!" Zhao Furong sat down and said.
"It's hard for you to always remember to come and talk to me." Chan said.
Zhao Furong is the daughter of Zhao Zongbing, a subordinate of Mao. Because the two are the same age, they play well when they are young.
In this year's draft together, I wanted to come back together, but it turned out that Mao Tongtong stayed in the capital.
In the past six months, Zhao Furong has often come to see Chen and talk to her. should have been entrusted by Mao Tongtong.
However, Chen has always liked this cheerful girl and regarded her as his daughter. Mao Tongtong was not at home, and Zhao Furong came, which could relieve her feelings of missing her daughter.
"I promised Tongtong." Zhao Furong said.
When they met in the palace, they agreed. If you choose both, or you don't, then you don't have to say anything. But if one side is elected, one side loses. The one who is not selected to go home will have to visit the other party's parents more.
The situation is similar in both families. Mao Tongtong has only one brother here, and no other brothers and sisters. And Zhao Furong's family has only one younger brother.
"Let's stay here for lunch today, and stew the soup." Chan said.
"Good! I never spoke politely to my aunt. Zhao Furong said with a smile: "When my aunt saw me coming at this hour, she knew that she was going to stay for dinner." ”
"Just come and eat! It just so happens that I don't eat by myself. Chen smiled.
Zhao Furong has a lively temperament and can laugh. It didn't take long for Chen to laugh a few times. The little worry that I had in my heart just now was also lost by Zhao Furong.
When Zhao Furong left after lunch, Chen also waited for good news. Mao asked people to bring back a message, saying that the errand in hand was almost busy, and he would come back tonight.
"Madame should be happy now, the master is coming back." Mama Wu said with a smile.
There was no young master and girl in this house, and the smile on the lady's face was much less. Only when the lord comes back, the lady can still be happier.
"Let the kitchen boil more hot water. When the master comes back, he can take a good bath. Chen hurriedly commanded.
"Madam, young master's letter!" Outside, another little guy came in to report.
"Look, there's either no news, or ah, let's all come together!" Chen Shi smiled more and more happily: "Just wait for the master to come back in the evening, you can read Ming Xuan's letter to me." ”
"Call the old slave to see, it's better for Miss Zhao to come." Mama Wu said with a smile.
