Speaking of the news, Mao Tongtong remembered the neighbor who lived next door.

Next door lives the fourth master. But the fourth master also went out with the army this time, and he also left a woman in the house. Of course, the difference is that the fourth master has a fortune, and he can be regarded as a person who can be the master of the house. It's still slightly different from the Eight Masters' Mansion.

The eighth master once said that in this expedition, the fourth master's father-in-law will also lead the army. In this way, is the news of Sifujin more well-informed?

Are you going to go next door and ask for news? Mao Tongtong thought about it in her heart.

In my impression, Sifujin seems to be a very gentle person. Although her status is low, she is a neighbor, and she asks about the safety of the eighth master, Sifujin should tell one or two, right? But Mao Tongtong was a little hesitant. This ancient hierarchy is strict, and even if people don't see it, it's a normal thing.

Want to try it?

"What are you going to try?" Qingzhu asked.

"Huh?" Mao Tongtong was stunned, she accidentally said it?

"I'm looking for someone to ask about the situation on the battlefield." Mao Tongtong said: "I don't know if I won the battle?" ”

"I can't ask." Qingzhu said: "This kind of news is not something that slaves and maids can hear. ”

"Of course I know you can't ask. So whoever knows this news will have to be happy to tell us. Mao Tongtong said.

Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "Isn't Gege's uncle in the capital?" Maybe he'll know? ”

"Uncle!" Mao Tongtong thought for a while, "Maybe." You can try it. ”

Uncle Chen is a fourth-grade official, if there is any report of a big victory, he should be able to hear about it when he goes to court. Besides, if she asked Uncle Chen, there should be no problem of rejection.

"Then let Wu Youcai go on a trip and send a letter to my uncle." Mao Tongtong nodded and decided to give up looking for the next-door neighbor.

The eighth master is not here, so she still shouldn't run to disturb Sifujin.

Soon, Wu Youcai asked Gonggong Xu in the front yard and came back, saying that he could write a letter to the eighth master, but the time of delivery and the reply were not guaranteed.

"As long as you can send it." Mao Tongtong said. It's better than a wall that can't be sent.

"You go one more time and send this to my uncle's house. I told the porter that it would be delivered to my uncle. Mao Tongtong handed the letter he had just written to Wu Youcai.

"Yes, the minion remembers." Wu Youcai put the letter in his arms and put it away.

Uncle Chen has been quite idle lately. The ceremonial officer belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and he is usually busy with major festivals or ceremonies. Now the Manchu Dynasty is paying attention to the Mongolian war, so naturally they have nothing to do. So when Wu Youcai sent the letter to Uncle Chen's house, he happened to be there.

Since Mao Tongtong entered the palace, he has never had any contact with Uncle Chen. At that time, when Mao Mingxuan lived in Uncle Chen's house, Mao Tongtong was Mao Mingxuan who he met directly. This would send a letter suddenly, and it also surprised Uncle Chen, thinking that something had happened.

But after thinking about it, the eighth master was not in Beijing at this time. There is no Chang Fujin in the Eighth Master's Mansion, and Mao Tongtong should not have anything wrong.

When he opened the letter, Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that I was worried about the eighth master!

But he really can't reply to this letter!

Because he doesn't know the situation either. Recently, in the morning, I haven't heard any war reports from the Mongolian side.

But since Mao Tongtong wrote to him, I am afraid that he is worried tightly. In this capital, the only one who can help her is his uncle.

"Hey, it's still a low official position." Uncle Chen smiled bitterly.

Their Chen family is not those Manchurian old surnames in Beijing, those people have a background and have many connections. Most of them can be related to the royal family and nobles. If you want to ask about something, you can always ask.

is not like him, his family background is thin, and when something happens, no one can count on him except for himself. It's even better to ask for someone to climb relatives.

"What is the lord sighing for? But worried about Zhu'er's marriage? "Su Shi will just walk in.

Chen Ruzhu's marriage is now going through the six ceremonies step by step. Just wait for the last auspicious day to be set, and prepare for the wedding with peace of mind.

"Tongtong asked someone to deliver a letter." Uncle Chen raised the letter in his hand.

"Something?" Su Shi frowned imperceptibly.

"Well, you want me to ask about the war in Mongolia." Uncle Chen said. He has nothing to hide from the Su family.

"A woman's family, why do you inquire about this?" Su Shi's subconscious tone was not very good.

Didn't you say that Mao Tongtong was very favored by the eighth master? I didn't see any benefit to their family! I also lived at home for a year, and I served everything well when I ate and drank, but I didn't even remember a kindness, I was really a white-eyed wolf. It's going to be a matter of looking for them.

"I'm just worried about the eighth master." Uncle Chen said: "If she is in the capital, she can ask me." ”

Su Shi sneered in his heart, but he didn't speak. She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but stab a few words.

"It's a pity, my official position is low, and I can't get some news." Uncle Chen sighed.

"The old man replied that it was." Su Shi said indifferently: "If we can help, we can help, and if we can't help, we can't help it." ”

"Speaking of which, you can ask our in-laws." Uncle Chen said.

"The Squire's Family?" Su raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, he is a second-class person, and after all, he is a Manchurian surname, and his connections are not comparable to ours." Uncle Chen said.

"Zhu'er hasn't married yet!" Su Shi was dissatisfied.

How can there be a relationship before it is done, so I think about the reason to trouble others. This is not good for Chen Ruzhu.

"It's just a matter of asking for some news." Uncle Chen disagreed: "Now that the family affairs of the two families are also confirmed, this little thing will not be left unsaid." ”

"Heh, who was still dissatisfied with this family business before?" Su said disdainfully.

When she mentioned this family, everyone thought that she wanted to rely on her daughter to climb high. Even Chen Junjie is not satisfied. It's going to be thinking about other people's hearts.

"This time and that time!" Uncle Chen said with a smile: "Madame's vision is still good!" ”

"Hmph, the master will be able to say good things now!" Su Shi's heart became more and more uncomfortable. Coaxing her for a niece, how awkward to think about it.

"It's all a family, we can help if we can." Uncle Chen said.

"That's what we think, I'm afraid some people don't think so." There is something in Su's words.

"Tongtong is not that kind of person." Uncle Chen said unhappily.

Su Shi knew that he had always disliked others saying that his family was not good, so he would accept it when he saw it, and said, "That's what I said." She has lived in our house for a year, can I still not know her temperament? ”

"Speaking of which, Tongtong is also our relative in Beijing. After two **** to deliver the letter in person, take a look at her by the way. It's been more than a year, and I don't know how she's doing in the Eighth Master's Mansion. Uncle Chen said.
