This is probably also a kind of rebellious psychology of people. Originally, pregnancy was an unprepared and never-before-experienced thing for her. Psychologically and physically, she was experiencing a feeling she had never felt before.

Suddenly, all the people around her paid attention to her belly, and kept whispering in her ear that everything was for the sake of the child in her belly, and she gave birth to a feeling that she was neglected and reduced to a fertility tool.

"Stupid again! You and your children are important in your heart! The eighth master smiled and pinched her face, and said, "If the master really only values the child, he won't wait for you to get pregnant after your body is well adjusted." ”

Mao Tongtong thought about it, and it was indeed like this. If the eighth master really used her as a fertility tool, he would probably let her get pregnant early. After all, for people in this era, letting a woman have more children is also a manifestation of pampering her.

Didn't you see that the big brother in history doted on Da Fujin, and he also made her give birth? Even after Dafu Jin gave birth to four daughters in a row, he still only spoiled her, and only wanted her to have a son. In the end, the son was born, but Da Fu Jin also collapsed because of frequent childbirth in a short period of time, and finally died early.

Another typical example is the young concubine whom Emperor Yongzheng is said to be very favored, who also has many births and miscarriages. It's a pity that the last child didn't survive, and he died early.

"Then the master must guarantee that even if the child is born in the future, the master is not allowed to only pay attention to the child, not to the slave!" Mao Tongtong still looked uneasy.

"You, you're so ashamed of being jealous of your own children!" The eighth master couldn't help laughing.

Mao Tongtong looked at the eighth master and said persistently: "Can the master guarantee it?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't you guarantee it!" The eighth master's tone was full of helplessness, but it was also full of spoiling.

"The master promised to be so perfunctory." Mao Tongtong looked disgusted.

The eighth master had no choice, so he had to say seriously: "Okay, the master promises that in the future, Tongtong will give birth to a child, and Tongtong will be ranked in front of the child." Are you satisfied? ”

"Well, that's pretty much it!" Mao Tongtong nodded.

"I see that you are idle now, thinking nonsense all day long!" The eighth master smiled and scratched her nose.

"It's already idle!" Mao Tongtong said: "The slave is no different from a pig now, she eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats." Embroidery, they say you can't take a needle during pregnancy; Let's practice calligraphy, they say that they hurt their bodies when they stand for a long time; Look at the script, they say it hurts the eyes. Master, you say, can the slave and maid not be idle now! ”

When Mao Tongtong said that he was the same as a pig, the eighth master almost squirted out with a sip of tea. Seeing her aggrieved appearance, she couldn't help but laugh again, and said, "You, you really know how to compare!" Raising a baby is a bit boring, but it's not as scary as you say. They care about your body, too. ”

"But let the slave have something to do to pass the time. Ten months pregnant, it's only four months, how can the slave survive! Even the government doctor said that the slave and maid can now move properly. Mao Tongtong said.

In fact, Mama Luo didn't care about her so strictly, and the most nervous ones were Qingzhu and Qingmiao. Every time she looked at the worried looks on the two of them, she was in no mood even if she wanted to have a pastime. Taking advantage of the fact that the eighth master is here now, let him say something can also make her more relaxed.

"Well, this master has asked. Now that you're four months pregnant, it's time to be at your best. As long as you don't feel tired, appropriate activity is fine. The eighth master nodded, looked at Qingzhu, Qingmiao and Mama Luo and said, "Don't hold her too tightly, let her do whatever you want, just remind her to pay more attention to rest." ”

"Yes, the slaves know." The three of them hurriedly answered.

Mao Tongtong was happy now, hugged the eighth master and kissed it, and said, "It's still the best master." ”

The eighth master glanced at her and said, "Hmph, the master has found out now, you, the most realistic!" But as long as your requirements are met, you will say that you are the best. If you are not satisfied, you will say that the master is not good! ”

"Don't say that, sir!" Mao Tongtong said with a smile: "That's what the slave said." The slave knows that the master is really good to the slave and the maid. ”

"It's good to know!" The eighth master flicked her head.

The two talked, and it was time for dinner. I haven't had dinner together for a few days, and the eighth master still misses Mao Tongtong's meal.

Especially looking at Mao Tongtong's good appetite now, he also has a great appetite.

The meal that Shen Gonggong prepared for Mao Tongtong today was a pot of fish and sheep. The soup is made with lamb backbone and fish bones, and the soup is milky and milky, and the taste is particularly delicious. Then the fish meat is made into fresh fish balls, and the lamb is thinly sliced into the soup, and the umami is added a little more.

These two ingredients are Mao Tongtong's favorites, so he asked Shen Gonggong to make a pot, and then get some fresh vegetables, tofu, black fungus and other ingredients to eat. In the winter, the whole person eats warmly.

A pot and a table of dishes, the two of them actually ate seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and the eighth master finally made a bowl of rice with soup and ate it, which was enough.

"It's still comfortable for Tongtong." The eighth master sighed, "In the past few days, I have eaten the most comfortable meal tonight." ”

"If you like it, the slave and maid welcome you to come every day!" Mao Tongtong said.

The eighth master smiled and said, "I want to come every day, but at the end of the year, I am busy and I can't be idle!" ”

Mao Tongtong didn't answer. Xindao, if you really come every day, I'm still worried! The one in the main courtyard has to eat me!

"Speaking of which, the officials are going to have a year-end assessment. Your eldest brother's evaluation this year will also be reported to Jingli. The eighth master changed the subject.

"Can you see it?" Mao Tongtong's eyes widened. It was about Mao Mingxuan, and she suddenly came to her senses.

The eighth master shook his head and said, "Naturally, I won't go to read it." But it's okay to ask. The score of the official examination is upper, middle and lower, just see which class he is. ”

"Then remember to ask. Big brother is in his first year! Mao Tongtong was a little nervous.

Although Mao Mingxuan is excellent, the officialdom is also quite dark. Their family has no backstage, and there is no money to spend, so I don't know what the result of this evaluation is! If you don't get a top grade in the first year, it's even more difficult later.

If the evaluation is not good for three consecutive years, Mao Mingxuan's career will not be smooth. It is likely to take more than ten years or even longer in the position of the prefectural order.

"Since the master said it to you, it is naturally in my heart." Eight Masters said.

He also has people in Shandong. I have also heard of Mao Mingxuan's actions. is a person who is willing to do things and dares to do things, and I believe that there will be no problems in this year's official evaluation.
