"Go ahead, I'll go shopping with your fourth sister-in-law for a while." The fourth master said.

Mao Tongtong hurriedly saluted again, and then left with the eighth master.

"Eighth brother is very fond of this Gege!" Lan Hui looked at the figures of the eighth master and Mao Tongtong in the distance, and said to the fourth master.

"Not necessarily a good thing." The fourth master said lightly.

"Master is saying that the eighth brother is about to get married." Lan Hui said.

The fourth master nodded, "Chang Fujin was so favored before he entered the door, and he ...... in the future" The fourth master shook his head and didn't speak.

Lan Hui also sighed in her heart. Although Gege is a concubine, Chang Fujin is a wife. But who let Gege enter the door? In the final analysis, it is still the rules of the palace that are to blame.

"Let's go, let's go shopping again, it's time to eat." The fourth master took Lan Hui's hand and said.

"Okay." Lan Hui smiled slightly. Emotional matters are never something outsiders can worry about. It's good that she can manage her feelings.

Mao Tongtong fell asleep on the carriage back to the palace.

She has the habit of taking a nap on weekdays. After having lunch with Mao Mingxuan at noon today, the eighth master originally said that she would be allowed to lean in the carriage for a while. But she was so excited to see Mao Mingxuan that she couldn't sleep at all, but pulled the eighth master to talk for a long time.

The eighth master moved his body, put Mao Tongtong on his lap, and changed her into a more comfortable position.

When she arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage stopped, and the eighth master pushed Mao Tongtong, trying to wake her up. Who knew that Mao Tongtong slept soundly, but he didn't wake up after a few screams.

The eighth master stared at her helplessly for a while, and finally decided to take her back.

When Chen Guo and Qingzhu watched the eighth master carry Mao Tongtong out of the carriage, they were stunned for a moment.

"Lord Belle, why don't you carry it." Chen Guo said.

The way back to Brother's Office is still a little far, it will be winter again, Mao Tongtong is wearing a jacket and a cloak, and the weight is not light.

"No, you just have to take care of the road in front." Eight Masters said.

Chen Guo had no choice but to carry a lantern to light the way in front, while Qingzhu followed behind the eighth master, holding his hands weakly, for fear that the eighth master would fall Mao Tongtong if he was not careful.

Mao Tongtong didn't know what kind of dream she had, she leaned on the eighth master's arms, and her mouth smacked twice, and she couldn't see the eighth master crying and laughing.

"I'm really going to make trouble for you!" The eighth master muttered in a low voice.

The eighth master carried Mao Tongtong all the way back to the elder brother's office, and he was tired and sweating.

As soon as he put Mao Tongtong on the bed, he sat aside and gasped.

"Have a cup of tea." Qingmiao hurriedly poured tea.

The eighth master took it and poured a cup of tea in one go.

Miao hurriedly poured another glass.

The eighth master poured three cups in a row, and the speed slowed down.

"Lord Belle, the servant has brought hot water, you quickly wipe your sweat and change your underwear. Otherwise, you will sweat and catch a cold. Chen Guo said on the side.

"Hmm." The eighth master nodded.

Qingzhu hurriedly went to the wardrobe to find a change of clothes for the eighth master.

And Mao Tongtong on the bed woke up at this time.

"Hey, why did you go back to Brother's office?" She sat up from the bed with a blank expression.

"You're sleeping so heavy! I don't even know if I sell you! The eighth master said: "I called you and didn't wake up for a long time." ”

"Huh? The slave really doesn't know. I thought it was just a nap. Mao Tongtong said apologetically.

"It's weird, too. I hugged you all the way and didn't wake up, why did you wake up as soon as I went back to my brother's office? You can't be pretending to be asleep, right? The eighth master looked at Mao Tongtong suspiciously.

"The slave has really just woken up!" Mao Tongtong hurriedly defended, "I just shook it, and I feel quite comfortable." ”

Now that I think about it, that shaky but warm feeling should be when I was held by the eighth master.

"Come and wait for the master to change his clothes. I hugged you all the way, and my clothes were soaked. "The eighth master said.

"Ah, I'm sorry! Excuse me! It's a great job. The slave and maid are coming. Mao Tongtong was even more apologetic now, and jumped off the bed in one fell swoop.

The eighth master was really good to her this day. took her to see her brother, went to the lantern festival, won the lantern king, and even carried her back to the brother's house. If she doesn't personally serve the eighth master to freshen up and change clothes, she really can't say it.

After the Lantern Festival, the court will begin. The eighth master got up before dawn and went to the court. Mao Tongtong also got up early and dressed the eighth master in person.

The eighth master saw that she was so sleepy that she was wearing a belt, so he said, "Seeing that you are so sleepy that you can't open your eyes, go to bed and go to sleep." ”

"Don't." Mao Tongtong shook his head and said, "The slave and maid sent the master out today." ”

"What's going on? I've never seen you so attentive in the past! The eighth master looked at her with amusement and tried to open her eyes.

"I was touched by the master!" Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

That's true. She didn't have anything to thank the eighth master, so she wanted to do more for him.

"I see that you can last for a few days with this touch." The eighth master smiled.

"Master, don't expose others!" Mao Tongtong said coquettishly.

Her love of sleeping lazy has never been hidden from the eighth master. So the eighth master has stayed with her so many times, and the number of times she can get up early to serve the eighth master and dress is only a handful.

"Okay, there are minions to do these things, just remember the good of the master in your heart. Go to sleep. The eighth master scratched her nose.

"It's up today, so let the slaves and maids finish serving." Mao Tongtong said.

The eighth master smiled and let her go.

The first major event after the opening of the dynasty was the spring festival.

The first exam of the spring festival is on the ninth day of February, and there is less than a month left.

There are now many students living in the capital. Some stayed at relatives' houses in advance, and some rented houses or inns in advance. And some students who have left the capital will also be on their way.

The chief examiner of Chunfu has been set a long time ago, and what needs to be arranged at this time is some side affairs. For example, how to verify the identity of candidates in the examination room, for example, during the examination, so as to avoid the occurrence of modern examination incidents; Another example is how to prevent cheating.

In Uncle Chen's house, Mao Mingxuan was not as hard as before. In addition to writing a policy essay every day, he spends more time practicing calligraphy and drawing.

It's also his own way of relaxing. The closer you get to the big exam, the more relaxed you are, so as not to perform abnormally during the exam.

Uncle Chen was very appreciative of his approach. How many people are planted in the exam room because they are too nervous. No matter how well you study on weekdays, it's useless if you can't perform in exams. This can also reflect a person's psychological endurance in another way.

Only those who are determined will not be affected by the outside world, stick to their principles, and achieve a career.

Mao Tongtong in the palace also began to temporarily hold Buddha's feet, praying to God once a day for Mao Mingxuan in his heart, praying for his gold list title.

The ninth day of February arrived as scheduled, and the sky was still gray, and there was a long queue outside the examination room, waiting for the assessment of identity and the inspection of what was brought into the examination room.
