Zhang Shi packed up the little luggage he had brought, saw that it was still early, thought about it, and still mustered up the courage to prepare to go to the main house. Anyway, she also came with her to serve the eighth master. Now that they all live in the same courtyard, they can't ignore it.

She looked in the mirror at her makeup, tidied up her clothes, and then left the room.

It would be the middle of the afternoon, and the sun would be shining, shining on people with a bit of warmth, dispelling the cold of early spring. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, walked outside the main house, and said to the little eunuch guarding the door: "Hello father-in-law, I want to ask Lord Belle if he needs a slave to serve?" ”

She is the only woman who came out to serve with the eighth master, although she is only a concubine, but the minions also give her some face. The little eunuch laughed, said a little wait, and went into the house to ask.

The eighth master was writing something in front of the bookcase, and Chen Guo was waiting on the side. After the little eunuch went in, he went directly to Chen Guo.

"Grandpa Chen, Mrs. Zhang is waiting outside, I want to see Lord Baylor." The little eunuch said in a suppressed voice.

Chen Guo glanced at the eighth master, raised his chin at the little eunuch, and whispered, "Go and wait outside first." After a while, Lord Belle finished writing and I asked. ”

"Hey, the little one will go out and let her wait first." The little eunuch smiled flatteringly.

Chen Guo nodded, and the little eunuch went out.

The eighth master didn't notice it at all, and was still writing intently.

When Zhang saw the little eunuch come out, he quickly smiled on his face and stepped forward.

"Lord Belle is writing, so you can't disturb me. Gonggong Chen asked you to wait for a while. ”

"Good. There is Lao Gonggong. Zhang was busy thanking him. She was thankful that she hadn't been driven away directly.

After about a quarter of an hour, the eighth master put down the pen in his hand. Only then did Chen Guo step forward and tell him that the Zhang family was still waiting outside.

"Let her go back to the house and stay and don't wander around when she has nothing to do. There are a lot of people living in this village, don't bump into anyone. If you don't have a master to call her, don't come and disturb her. The eighth master frowned.

"Yes, the slave will go and tell Mrs. Zhang." Chen Guo said busily.

Outside, Zhang's legs were a little sore. But there was no movement in it, and she couldn't rush it. The little eunuch guarding the door didn't dare to move except for occasionally smiling at him. When he heard the sound of footsteps inside from far and near, Zhang hurriedly cheered up.

The door opened, revealing Chen Guo's face. Zhang hurriedly saluted and looked at it expectantly.

"Lord Belle said that without his order, Madame would not have to come. Besides, there are a lot of people living in this village, so don't go out if your wife has nothing to do, so as not to bump into anyone. Chen Guo said.

The anticipation on Zhang's face suddenly turned into embarrassment, and he barely squeezed out a smile with a white face, and said, "The slave and maid know, the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will retire first." ”

Chen Guo watched her turn away, and when she went down the steps, her body was still crooked, and she shook her head secretly.

The little eunuch guarding the door felt a little uncomfortable, and said to Chen Guo: "Lord Belle has been out for so long, and he hasn't been served at night, and he is not afraid of being suffocated!" ”

"Do you have a lot of mouths?" Chen Guo slapped the back of the little eunuch's head, "The matter of Lord Belle is also something you can discuss?" ”

The little eunuch was still unconvinced and said: "I can't say that my father-in-law is close to him, shouldn't I worry about this kind of thing?" ”

"That's what I'm worried about, too! What's your business! If you don't care about your mouth, be careful that I let you sweep the yard! Chen Guo said with a straight face.

The little eunuch pursed his mouth and was silent. Guarding the door of the house for Lord Belle is much more decent than sweeping the yard. He couldn't afford to lose his hard-earned opportunity.

Chen Guo glared at him, and then entered the house. Whether Lord Belle wants to sleep with a woman or not, and which woman he wants to sleep with, is not something that these minions should worry about.

"Send this letter back to Beijing." When the eighth master saw him come in, he handed him the envelope he had just written.

This is the first time that the eighth master has written a letter to the house since he left Beijing, Chen Guo hurriedly took it and went to find the person who sent the letter.

In the evening, the ninth and tenth masters came to the eighth master, and they couldn't help but talk about the various dissatisfaction with the prince along the way.

"Starling, you can bear it. If you want to leave me alone, you don't bother to give him face! The tenth master drank a glass of wine, and his tone was not very good.

The ninth master glanced at him and said, "You have it, the prince can't look down on you and embarrass you!" You won't stand a chance with him! ”

"Brother Jiu, how do you speak! What does it mean to be embarrassed by me? The tenth master said unhappily.

"Am I wrong? What do you have to embarrass him? I didn't even get a decent errand, what did he embarrass you for! The Ninth Master said disdainfully.

"It's like you have it!" The tenth master said angrily.

"That's why he's targeting starlings!" The Ninth Master said.

The eighth master smiled faintly, took a sip of wine and said, "He is not targeting me, he is panicking." ”

"yes, panicked. I think he is also on guard against the fourth brother. The Ninth Master nodded.

"Not only the fourth brother, but also the eldest brother." The eighth master said: "Third brother, he can't look down on him." Needless to say, the fifth brother and the seventh brother are not taken into account. You two are still young, and you don't have any errands, and he can't take care of them for the time being. ”

"Hmph, I'll see what he'll do in a few years! In the future, there will be thirteen brothers, fourteen brothers, fifteen brothers, and sixteen brothers, do I think he can guard against them one by one? The Ninth Master sneered and said, "Huang Ama's body and bones are good, he is the prince, and he has to be!" ”

"It's the same for whoever is in his place." The eighth master smiled and said: "Although Huang Ama still trusts him now, but there is more and more power for us brothers, can he not panic?" He can't leave the palace, he is under the nose of Huang Ama everywhere, unlike me who goes out of the palace, many things are much more convenient to do. ”

"That's not as narrow-minded as he is!" The Ninth Master said: "When everyone covets his position!" ”

"How do you know no one covets it?" The eighth master asked rhetorically.

"Did you think about it?" The Ninth Master's eyes widened suddenly.

The tenth master shook his hand, and the wine in the wine glass spilled out. He hadn't spoken, but he would have understood.

"What's wrong? Scared? The eighth master smiled.

The ninth master looked at the eighth master for a long time before he said: "If the eighth brother really has an idea, my brother and I will stand on your side." ”

The tenth master also hurriedly said: "Starling, no matter what you do, I will support you!" ”

The eighth master's heart warmed, these two younger brothers have been by his side since they were children, and their mothers and concubines have a higher status than his mother, but they have never looked down on him, but they have taken care of him a lot, and this friendship has always been one of the few warmth he feels in the palace.

"I'm laughing!" The eighth master said: "Look at the two of you nervous!" Even if you want to fight, there are still the eldest brother and the fourth brother above, and it won't be my turn. ”

"Starling, that's not what I said. If you really want to fight, it doesn't matter how big or small! "The Ninth Master is right.
