"Ling Gongzi shouldn't stay long when he comes back this time. I've heard that the people who win the top prize are going to be officials. If Ling Gongzi goes to take office, he will wait for another three years, and his wife is really not in a hurry to get married? The matchmaker laughed.

"Marriage is naturally decided. It's just that there are many people who propose marriage, and I can't make up my mind for a while. Chen smiled: "Thanks to the prefect's wife, we are also very happy." It's just that this family matter depends on our master. ”

"Who in this Yangzhou City doesn't know that Lord Mao listens to his wife the most. If you agree, Master Mao will naturally agree. Madame, is this dissatisfied Miss Fang? The matchmaker said.

Chen thought to himself, is this trying to use the name of the prefect to oppress people? But she's not afraid. Although their master's official position is not big, he is really not a person who wrongs his son for the sake of his boss.

"If you are not satisfied, I am not the one who has the final say." Chen smiled: "Don't worry, I'll give you a letter in three days at most." We'll have to talk about it. ”

Chen's words were tactful, and the matchmaker was not very aggressive, so she smiled and said, "That lady and Master Mao have a good discussion, and I will visit in three days." ”

"Okay, you're going to make this trip." Chen smiled and got up to see him off.

"I'm also entrusted by others." The matchmaker said.

When the others left, the smile on Chen's face was gone. It's also a trouble for my son to be too popular. If the marriage is not settled for a day, there will be no peace in this house for a day.

After a while, another servant came in and said, "Madam, the post sent by the prefect is for the young master." ”

"Could it be that the prefect wants to lobby in person?" Chen's face changed slightly. She still didn't want to make the relationship too stiff. After all, they still have to live in Yangzhou City, and Mao Carrier still has to work as an errand under the prefect.

But in case the prefect personally goes into battle, how can he refuse? Chen suddenly became worried.

"Madam, let's take a look at what is written on this post." Mama Wu said: "The old slave thinks that the prefect should not personally talk about the marriage of his children." If you want to say it, it is also the prefect's wife. ”

"Go and call Mingxuan." Chen said to the little guy.

She is also illiterate, so she still has to Mao Mingxuan to see the post.

After a while, Mao Mingxuan came.

"The prefect gave you a post, you can take a look." Chan said.

Mao Mingxuan took it, looked at it twice, and said, "It's a banquet to invite me to drink." ”

"Okay, why did you suddenly invite you to drink?" Chen Shihu said suspiciously.

"Eniang, I'm the new champion." Mao Mingxuan smiled: "The prefect also has a light on his face. He took this opportunity to set an example for the students in Yangzhou. Didn't Amma say it yesterday! I didn't expect the prefect to move so quickly. ”

"Mingxuan, E-Niang has something to tell you. When you go tomorrow, keep an eye on yourself. Chen worried.

"What?" Mao Mingxuan was a little curious.

Chen told him about the marriage proposal just now.

"Eniang, is my market so good now?" Mao Mingxuan couldn't cry or laugh. Isn't the prefect's wife like an eye above the top? Fang Ruohong took a fancy to Mao Tongtong at the beginning, and after the prefect's wife learned his thoughts, although she never said anything on the surface, she often did something to delay her secretly.

When Mao Tongtong left Yangzhou, why was Fang Ruohong late and didn't catch up to see Mao Tongtong, wasn't it because the prefect's wife pulled him to talk?

It's a good idea to think about marrying their family again!

"Now you know your mother's troubles, right?" Chen Shi glanced at him angrily and said, "If your family affairs are not settled for a day, there will be no peace in this mansion for a day." I'm worried now, how can I refuse this family business, and I can't offend the prefect's wife. ”

"It's the son who makes Eniang embarrassed." Mao Mingxuan said.

"Hey, it's not a good thing to be too good!" Chen sighed.

"E-niang, I want to get together with a few classmates today, and then see the master, and I won't come back for lunch at noon." Mao Mingxuan said. At this time, it is better to slip away, so as not to be dragged to choose a daughter-in-law again. He thought about it all night and didn't come up with a result!

"Go ahead." Chen waved his hand and said, "Who made me your mother!" I'll worry about these things. ”

"It's hard work! And the son went first. Mao Mingxuan smiled and waved at Chen, and ran away.

Looking at Mao Mingxuan, who was a little childish, Chen couldn't help laughing. In the past, only when Tongtong was there, Ming Xuan would show such a look. The kid was so tense that she hadn't seen him so lively in a long time.

On the grassland, Mao Tongtong finally slept peacefully.

The fatigue of riding in the carriage for several days, as well as the fear of the assassin incident, made her never really relax.

It would eventually reach its destination, and she was relieved to hear that she would stay here for the next month, and that there would be no need to run around, and that there would be a lot of guards around the camp.

This is the first time Mao Tongtong has come to the grassland since his two lifetimes.

The clear blue sky and the vast grassland make people feel refreshed and happy to watch. She didn't dare to leave the camp alone, so she only looked into the distance from the edge.

"Mao Gege." Someone behind her called her.

Mao Tongtong turned around and saw that the person who came was very familiar.

"You are?" Mao Tongtong thought about it, but still didn't think about it.

"We've seen it in the palace, I'm Zhang Gege in the Fifth Belle Mansion." Come humanely.

"Oh, hello." Mao Tongtong hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, I don't remember people's faces very well, and I often can't remember them clearly when I see them several times alone." ”

Zhang Gege smiled, didn't mind, and said, "Why are you standing here and watching?" If you go a little further, the scenery will be better. ”

Mao Tongtong shook his head and said, "Our lord won't let me go out of the camp alone, saying it's not safe." ”

"In broad daylight, the assassins don't dare to come." Zhang Gege said with a smile.

"I'm afraid of it myself." Mao Tongtong smiled embarrassedly.

Zhang Gege covered his mouth and smiled: "You are really cowardly. ”

"Aren't you afraid?" Mao Tongtong asked rhetorically.

"What is there to be afraid of." Zhang Gege said: "The assassins' goal is not us, so they will not waste their efforts on us. ”

"You'd love it." Mao Tongtong said in admiration. Assassins wouldn't target these little Gege. But if you encounter it on the road, it's not impossible to kill it. This Zhang Gege is a big-hearted person.

"If you are really killed by an assassin, it is fate, but you can't hide if you want to." Zhang Gege said with a smile.

Mao Tongtong smiled and didn't answer. She still cherishes her life, be careful.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Zhang Gege asked again.

"Not really." Mao Tongtong said. She could walk on a ride, but she didn't dare to run.

"It would be a pity not to ride a horse when you came to the grassland!" Zhang Gege looked into the distance, with a yearning face.
