Chapter 239: The Patrol Begins
"Eniang, you say, will my aunt and uncle agree?" Chen Ruzhu looked into the distance and said.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and E-Niang can't say for sure now." Su said: "Your cousin is now the champion, and he is a county magistrate. Your aunt is afraid that she will think that her son is amazing, and whether she can take a fancy to our family is really not certain. ”
Chen Ruzhu's face changed slightly, remembering that the Chen family came with Mao Tongtong that year, she always looked gentle, and hesitated: "Auntie, it's not such a person." ”
"People are selfish. It's understandable to value your son! Think about it, your uncle has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he is still a five-grade guard. As soon as Ming Xuan entered the officialdom, he was the Qipin County Order, could they not be surprised? Su Shi chuckled and said, "Although Xuan is indeed good, we don't have to rush to ask for this family business." Qipin County Order, Eniang still doesn't look at it. Don't get into the horns. If this family affair really doesn't work, E-Niang will find you a good door! ”
Chen Ruzhu pulled the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't squeeze out a smile. She was really moved by Mao Mingxuan, and she was not interested in the good family things that Su said in her mouth at all.
Originally, she was uneasy in her heart, but now that Su Shi said this, her face became even more ugly.
"Come back, everyone is gone, what else to see!" Su Shi said.
"Hmm." Chen Ruzhu answered in a muffled voice, and obediently followed Su Shi into the door.
Mao Mingxuan and Xiaohuzi rode out of the city, but they happened to meet Kangxi's patrol team on the street, and the soldiers who opened the road stopped them.
Thinking that there would also be Mao Tongtong in this team, Mao Mingxuan simply took Xiaohuzi and retreated to the side of the road to watch.
"Young master, didn't you say that the girl also went out of Beijing with the eighth master this time? Which carriage is from the Eighth Master's Mansion? Little Tiger stretched his neck on tiptoe, trying to get past the crowd.
Mao Mingxuan was taller than him, and he could easily see the long procession, but he couldn't tell which carriage was from the Eighth Master's Mansion for a while.
"The lady should be in the back." Mao Mingxuan guessed.
"Young master, look, is the one right away the eighth master?" Xiaohuzi suddenly raised his voice.
Mao Mingxuan looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, it was the eighth master.
It's just that the eighth master will ride on a horse, following behind Kangxi's royal car, talking to a few elder brothers around him, and he didn't notice Mao Mingxuan in the crowd.
And Mao Tongtong, who was worried about Mao Mingxuan, had just come out of the mansion and got into the carriage.
As soon as she got into the car, she yawned heavily.
Today, she was pulled up by the eighth master before dawn, but when she got dressed, had breakfast, and walked to the gate of the house to get on the bus, she was told that these women were in the middle of the line, and they had to know how to leave.
Mao Tongtong turned around the door speechlessly, and returned to the house again. But she didn't dare to sleep back. Afraid that if she suddenly told her to leave, she would be in a hurry, so she could only sit and wait.
As a result, she still fell asleep from a nap after waiting. In the end, Qingzhu and Qingmiao dragged them out of the house.
"Gege sleepy, go to sleep. The slave and maid deliberately put a thick woolen mat on the carriage, so that it was comfortable to sleep. "Seedlings said.
"I'm afraid I'll have to go through the carriage all the way, and it's okay to sleep in Gege." Qingzhu took out the pillow he had prepared.
Because the eighth master brought her a female dependent, he did not prepare a carriage for Mao Tongtong alone, but took the eighth master's carriage directly.
As Gege, even if there is a carriage, it must not be as big as the eighth master's carriage. So Mao Tongtong got into the carriage of the eighth master without any psychological burden.
At this time, she realized the benefits of riding in the eighth master's carriage. Not only is it big, but it's also comfortable! She was petite and lay down to sleep in the carriage, not at all cramped.
Qingzhu saw her lying down, and took out the bed blanket to cover her, and then sat quietly with Qingmiao, waiting for Mao Tongtong's orders at any time.
Mao Tongtong yawned comfortably, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Today is the first day of departure, and the eighth master will definitely follow his brothers to drive beside Kangxi's royal car. I don't even come over for lunch to use with her. So, she can catch up on sleep now.
Speaking of which, the carriage is such a hypnotic good! Walking up and swaying, even if you don't fall asleep, you can make people doze off, not to mention people like Mao Tongtong, who are so sleepy that they can't open their eyelids. So she closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short time.
Mao Mingxuan and Xiaohuzi stood on the side of the road for a long time, until they saw Chen Guo, the big eunuch beside the eighth master, and then they knew which carriage was from the eighth master's mansion.
Watching the carriage slowly pass in front of him, Mao Mingxuan silently said goodbye in his heart.
Leaving the capital this time, I don't know when I will come back, and Tongtong doesn't know when I will meet again.
"If the girl lifts the curtain and takes a look, she will definitely see us!" Xiaohuzi said regretfully.
"The royal rules are big, how can Tongtong lift the curtain here." Mao Mingxuan said.
"Young master, do you think we're saying goodbye to the girl?" Little Tiger looked at the distant carriageway.
"yes, count." Mao Mingxuan nodded and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to set off." It's been a long time since then. ”
Mao Tongtong woke up from sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that the eighth master was sitting in the carriage.
"When did you come in?" Mao Tongtong sat up in surprise. Only then did I find that Qingzhu and Qingmiao were not in the carriage.
"You sleep so heavily, I don't even know if I sold you!" The eighth master teased.
"I'm sleepy! Who let the master toss for half a night last night! Mao Tongtong pouted and complained.
Knowing that she was going to be in a hurry today, the eighth master came twice last night in good spirits, which made her weak and didn't sleep enough.
As a result, the eighth master was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he was up a hundred times more energetic before dawn in the morning! She couldn't help but suspect again that the eighth master was a monster that sucked people's spirits!
The corners of the eighth master's mouth hooked slightly, and said: "It means that your physical strength is too poor, and you should exercise more on weekdays." ”
"The slave's small body can't withstand such a toss even if it is exercise!" Mao Tongtong said.
She is now a little bolder than when she first entered the Eighth Master's backyard. When I was with the eight masters, I dared to say some things.
"Will you sleep well?" The eighth master asked with a smile.
Mao Tongtong nodded, "I've slept enough now." ”
"When you've slept enough, let's get ready for lunch." The eighth master said: "I will stop eating in less than a quarter of an hour." ”
"The slave maid thought that the master would accompany the long live master!" Mao Tongtong said casually.
The eighth master smiled and said, "With the prince with you!" Huang Amma's carriage is only so little, how can there be so many of us to accompany him. ”
