"I'm a little Gege, and I didn't have anything when I entered the palace. Even if you are favored now, how many things can there be? Mao Tongtong smiled and said, "You don't need to prepare gifts." lest my aunt think too much. ”

Qingzhu had been beside him just now, and when he arrived, he also found out about the snobbery of this uncle, thought about it, and felt that what Mao Tongtong said made some sense. If this uncle is useful, he is really good to Gege. Don't open your mouth, I'm afraid Lord Belle will help a bunch.

"Gege, now that you have the news from Lord Belle, you should be at ease." Qingzhu said again.

"Hmm. As long as you're fine. Mao Tongtong's expression eased a lot.

Back in the house, Mao Tongtong looked at the gift given by the Su family. Although the clothes and jewelry are not too good, I am afraid that no matter how good the Su family is, I am afraid that I will be reluctant.

"Qingzhu, you can take these things and divide them. The colors of the clothes are quite tender, just for making clothes. ”

"Slave, thank you." Qingzhu didn't refuse. Now Gege is favored, and the clothes are all rewarded by Lord Baylor, and many of them are new models sent from Jiangnan, of course, they will not wear this kind of ordinary clothing again.

"You also helped me collect this money." Mao Tongtong handed the purse to Qingzhu again, "This is the most practical thing." ”

"Yes." Qingzhu took it.

No matter what time it is, the silver will never be idle. In the future, Gege will have more places to use money.

After calming down, Mao Tongtong felt that this day was much easier. I'm not as absent-minded as I used to be.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the news of the victory of the army once again reached the capital. I heard that this time it was a complete defeat of Galdan, and there were no more people running away than before.

"Gege, I heard that the army will return to Beijing in a few days." Wu Youcai rushed to report the news, "It's spread all over the capital!" ”

"So fast!" Mao Tongtong still couldn't believe it.

You must know that in ancient times, people fought by walking on their feet. Even if the Manchurians won the world on horseback, it was impossible for all soldiers to be cavalry. It was only a little more than a month before I returned to Beijing, and I won a big victory, and it seems that this time it was very smooth.

"The news has spread all over the place, and it shouldn't be fake." Wu has a way of wealth.

"Call Mama Guo to come and see if there is anything to prepare in the house, so as to welcome Lord Belle back to Beijing." Mao Tongtong came to the spirit at once.

It is said that if she doesn't see each other for a day, she has been separated from the eighth master for so long for the first time, and she really misses it tightly.

Mama Guo came soon, obviously heard the news, and smiled as soon as she entered the house.

"The old slave has seen Master Mao."

"Mama Guo, hurry up and excuse me." Mao Tongtong gave a handful of hands and said with a smile: "Mama, you have heard, Lord Belle is about to return to Beijing." ”

"Well, the old slave knows. People are asking people to wash and dry the mattress in Baylor's bedroom in the front yard while the weather is good. Mama Guo replied.

"It's still Mama's speed." Mao Tongtong couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, he was an old man who was serving by the side of the eighth master, and his work efficiency was high.

"It rained a while ago, so I should take it out to dry." Mao Tongtong nodded, "Mama, what else do you have to prepare?" I'm talking about talking to my grandmother. ”

"Actually, there's not much to prepare." Mama Guo replied with a smile: "Master Belle estimates that it will take a few days to return to Beijing." Everything that should be cleaned on weekdays is being cleaned, and this will be done more finely. It's time to get ready. ”

"Me?" Mao Tongtong pointed at himself and said, "What do I have to prepare?" ”

"Gege can think about what he will wear to greet him on the day he returns, what kind of meal he will prepare in the kitchen, and so on." Guo Mama said.

Mao Tongtong suddenly, this is to make her responsible for being as beautiful as a flower! Also, the eighth master has been fighting on the battlefield for so long, and he finally returned to Beijing, don't you want your woman to dress up and see him!

"Thank you Mama Guo for mentioning it." Mao Tongtong smiled and thanked him.

"Gege is the first time to meet Lord Baylor and go far away, and he will have experience in the future." Guo Mama said. According to her understanding of the eighth master, this is just waiting for Chang Fujin to enter the door, and it is estimated that he will not fall out of favor. She didn't mind if it would sell well.

When Mama Guo left, Mao Tongtong discussed with Qingzhu. I've just made a few new autumn clothes recently and haven't had time to put them on, so this will be the right set.

It's just that the atmosphere of the returning army is not as elated as imagined in the capital.

The battle was won, but it was not an easy victory. Not only did the army lose nearly one-third, but the key thing was that one of the main generals who led the troops, Fei Yanggu, the father-in-law of the fourth master, was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he could survive until he returned to Beijing.

The fourth master's face has always been bad. The brothers who went out together didn't know how to comfort them.

Speaking of which, among the princes who got married, in addition to the crown prince, the fourth master's concubine Fujin is the best in his mother's family. Although the fourth master himself has outstanding ability, but with a strong father-in-law's family as support, some things can get twice the result with half the effort.

Although Feiyangu had three sons, all of them were mediocre in qualifications. Once he died, there would be no one in the Ulanala family who could hold it up.

"Fourth brother, I can return to Beijing in two days. With Emperor Amma's attention to Lord Feiyangu, he will definitely send an imperial doctor to see him. Don't worry too much. ”

In the end, the eighth master was worried about the fourth master, and he couldn't help but comfort the fourth master when he camped at night.

"Thank you for your concern, I know all this." The fourth master said. Even if Huang Ama doesn't reward the imperial doctor, he will ask for it. Thinking that Lan Hui was still pregnant, he was worried about how to speak.

"Fourth brother, I see that you didn't eat anything at night. I can't stand it like this. The eighth master frowned and said: "When I return to Beijing, the fourth sister-in-law will also have to be comforted by you!" ”

"Eighth brother, your fourth sister-in-law, I plan to hide it for a while." The fourth master hesitated for a moment and spoke.

The eighth master was stunned, nodded and said, "It's time to hide it." The fourth sister-in-law may not be able to stand it. ”

"Alright, you can go back and rest. I'm going to be on my way tomorrow, I'm fine. The fourth master smiled reluctantly and patted the eighth master on the shoulder.

"Fourth brother, you should also rest early." The eighth master also patted the fourth master on the shoulder and returned to his camp.

Lying on the bed, he thought of Guo Luoluo, who was about to pass through the door. An orphan girl with no father and no mother, I don't know how Huang Ama thought about pointing him to be a blessing. The fourth brother's father-in-law's family can support him, but he doesn't want it. How can he be like him, he wants to marry a Fujin who can help, but Huang Ama refuses to give it. Even if Prince An spoiled her, Prince An's attitude when he came that day was not bad. But if Guo Luoluo really crosses the door, will Prince An's Mansion really stand in line for a granddaughter?

Thinking about it, the eighth master couldn't help but smile sarcastically. How disappointed are he and Eniang enough? What else to expect?
