Mao Tongtong didn't know that the eighth master was leaving. The eighth master hasn't come in the past few days, and she hasn't thought much about it. It's just that after the New Year, it's just that it's more busy. So when the eighth master said that he was going to tour south, she was a little surprised.

"It's still the first month!" When she used to watch TV series, she thought that Kangxi's southern tour was in the spring of March and April. I didn't expect it to be so early. It's still cold this season, and it's snowing heavily in many places.

"Huang Ama is going to inspect the riverworks, and then go all the way down the canal. This will depart, and it will not be back until March. "The eighth master said.

Lan Hui suddenly realized that ancient transportation could not have modern convenience. I think that when she came to the capital from Yangzhou, she took a boat and changed carriages, and she was stunned for almost a month. Kangxi's southern tour will definitely have to stop and check along the way, and it will only take more time.

"When is that going to leave?" Mao Tongtong asked. She had regrets in her heart. If you don't have a child, you will definitely be able to go out with the eighth master this time. Maybe I can even see my family at the chance.

"I'll be off in five days." The eighth master said: "The master just can't rest assured of you now." I don't know if I can catch up with your production. ”

Count Mao Tongtong's days, that is, the end of March and the beginning of April. If there is a longer delay on the road, or Mao Tongtong is born prematurely, it is likely that he will not be able to catch up. In addition, Guo Luoluo has always disliked Mao Tongtong, so the eighth master is even more worried.

Mao Tongtong didn't think of this problem yet, and when he heard the eighth master say this, he was stunned for a moment before saying: "The emperor has issued an order, and the master can't resist the decree and stay." ”

The power of the decree is still great. Besides, if Kangxi knew that the eighth master would resist the decree for the sake of a grid production in the backyard, he would definitely be angry, and the eighth master would have a bad reputation. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, giving birth to a child was a woman's business. It is unlucky for a man to even go into the delivery room to accompany the delivery!

The eighth master touched her stomach and said, "I hope I can catch up." This is his first child, and it was born to a woman he likes, so it naturally means something different to him.

"With Mama Luo here, you don't have to worry." Mao Tongtong comforted the eighth master. Anyway, even if he is there, he can't help, and she doesn't have to give birth to herself.

"I originally said that I would choose the midwife and nurse for you after the year, but it's too late." The eighth master paused for a moment and said, "But don't worry, I have already explained to Mama Guo, and she will arrange it for you." ”

Mao Tongtong really wanted to ask, isn't this Fujin's responsibility? Why didn't you explain it to Guo Luoluo? Does the eighth master himself know in his heart that Guo Luo Luo may do something? Probably for this reason, the eighth master is obsessed with not being able to stay with her?

It's just that this guess is not good to ask the eighth master in person, Mao Tongtong just didn't expect it, and said with a smile: "The master has been handed over to Mama Guo, what is there to worry about." She's the safest thing to do. ”

"Well, that's what I thought too." The eighth master nodded, patted Mao Tongtong's stomach lightly, and said softly: "Tuan Tuan, Ama is going to go far away." You have to be obedient, don't toss your mother. It's best to wait for Amma to come back. ”

Mao Tongtong couldn't help laughing and said, "Ye is really, how can you wait for the birth of a child!" Say it and it will come out! ”

The eighth master smiled and said, "I don't want you to be in the house when you give birth." ”

Mao Tongtong leaned his head on the eighth master's shoulder, and said softly: "Master is out of the house, just take care of yourself, and you don't have to worry about these things." Slaves and maids will take care of themselves and their children. Just wait and hear the good news. ”

"Well, Tongtong is the most worry-free for you." The eighth master smiled and hugged her.

"Will you pass by Yangzhou?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Do you want Master to bring something to your house?" Eight Masters said.

Mao Tongtong shook his head, where does the eighth master need to go in person for such a thing as carrying things. What she wanted to ask was actually to see if the eighth master could go to see Mao Chengyun and Chen. Although there has always been correspondence, she is afraid that they will report good news and not bad news. But after thinking about it, what is the identity of the eighth master, and it seems that he deliberately went to the garrison mansion, which does not seem to be very in accordance with the rules. This hesitation made it a little unspeakable.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you can't say? "The eighth master said.

"It's nothing, that's what the slave asked." Mao Tongtong smiled.

"Do you want your grandfather to go home and have a look?" The eighth master actually guessed it.

Mao Tongtong was a little embarrassed and said, "It's the slave who doesn't understand the rules." ”

Actually, it's quite aggrieved to say. She is the woman of the eighth master, but the eighth master is not the son-in-law of the Mao family. If she is a wife, such a request is not excessive. But she's just a concubine, so she can't mention it.

"If you really want to pass by, you should be able to see you Amma." The eighth master said: "When Huang Ama arrives in a place, he always has to inspect the local officials. Your Ama is a Yangzhou garrison, and you are also among the investigations. ”

"Really?" Mao Tongtong was pleasantly surprised.

The eighth master nodded and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's true." But the route of the southern tour is Huang Amading, whether it will go to Yangzhou, I can't say for sure. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. If you pass by, you can help the slave and maid take a look. Just look at the look of the slave Amma. Mao Tongtong said. She was just worried that she and Mao Mingxuan were not at home, and Mao Chengyun and the Chen family would have a bad time.

"Good. Lord promises you. "The eighth master responded very happily. What he didn't say was that this southern tour was likely to go to Shandong, and the chance of seeing Mao Mingxuan was even greater. After all, there was a catastrophe there last year, and there was an accident in the officialdom, which must be the focus of this year's southern tour.

But he was afraid that if he said it now, if he didn't see Mao Mingxuan at that time, it would make Mao Tongtong happy. So he was going to wait until he really saw him and then come back and talk to Mao Tongtong.

There are still three days to go, and the eighth master is tired of being in Mao Tongtong's courtyard for two days. I didn't go to the main courtyard until the day before departure.

Guo Luoluo has been raised for almost half a month, and his face is already bloody, and he is more energetic. Occasionally, when I was tired from lying down, I also got out of bed and walked two steps. When the eighth master came, she had just gotten out of bed.

"The concubine greets Lord Belle." As soon as Guo Luo Luo's body was blessed, the eighth master stepped forward to support her, and said, "You are not in good health, so these false courtesies will be waived." ”

"Lord Belle is leaving tomorrow, and the concubine has already asked people to prepare everything. It's just that there is one thing that needs to be decided by Lord Baylor. Guo Luo Luo said.

"What?"

"Lord Belle has been out for a long time this time, who are you going to take to serve?" Guo Luo Luo asked.

There were just a few people in the backyard. It is impossible for Mao Tongtong to take it. Guo Luoluo's body did not recover, and he couldn't go. The Wang family has been sent to Zhuangzi by the eighth master, and the rest are the Zhang family and the Liu family.

For the Zhang family and the Liu family, the eighth master had no special preference, so he said: "Let Fujin arrange it." ”
