Although Mao Tongtong was talking about the eighth master, he didn't know how to write a letter back. But there was no hope. If the eighth master sends a letter back, I am afraid that it will have to pass through Guo Luoluo's hands. She felt awkward to think about it. So when Xiao Xuzi came to deliver a letter to her, she was a little surprised.

"If Gege wants to reply to Lord Belle, just ask someone to come to the front yard to find a minion." Xiao Xuzi also said it deliberately. This is also what the eighth master explained.

"Father-in-law Lao has made this trip." Mao Tongtong smiled slightly.

"It's a slave's honor to serve Gege." Xiao Xuzi said with a smile. He would rather stammer with Mao Gege than with Fujin. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lord Belle is the most favored by Mao Gege. What's more, Mao Gege is about to give birth to Baylor's first child, and he has a future in the future!

When Xiao Xuzi left, Mao Tongtong opened the letter. I don't know what the eighth master wrote, but there are five or six thick pages.

Looking at the letter, Mao Tongtong couldn't help laughing.

As early as when she was first diagnosed as pregnant, she had seen the eighth master's nagging skills. You can talk about things big and small. Of course, on the other hand, this also shows that the eighth master is a very careful person. Now that I am writing a letter, I really care about her life. It made her want to laugh and feel warm in her heart.

"Qingzhu, put the letter away." Mao Tongtong looked at it twice before handing it to Qingzhu.

"Is Gege going to reply to Lord Belle now?" Qingzhu asked as he put it away.

Mao Tongtong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I want to write something for my master." “

In fact, she was thinking in her heart, did the eighth master also write a letter to Guo Luoluo? What will be written in the letter? When I think about it, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Sure enough, people sometimes have to pretend to be confused to be happy. It's just that there are some things that she hasn't learned to pretend to be confused about, and she always thinks about them when she doesn't notice them. made her have to sigh, kung fu still hasn't been cultivated to home!

She was still struggling with what to write in the reply letter to the eighth master, and the eighth master was already ready to set off again and continue south.

Those who were sent out by Kangxi did not come back, but the eighth master confirmed his and the fourth master's speculation from the letter sent by Mao Mingxuan. looked at Mao Mingxuan's calm attitude in the letter, which surprised him a little.

Mao Mingxuan's letter was good news, the eighth master thought about it, and ran to the courtyard of the fourth master, "Fourth brother, accompany me to buy gifts." “

"Didn't you buy it last time?" The fourth master was surprised.

"This time is different. Mao Mingxuan just got a son, and I have to give a gift for Mao. The eighth master smiled and said, "Actually, I want to ask the fourth sister-in-law, what is the right gift to give at this time?" “

The fourth master was stunned, but he didn't expect this to be the reason, and said: "Children are not always safe locks or something." “

"Well, I know. But don't I wonder if there's anything else I can give! The fourth sister-in-law has always had a lot of ideas. The eighth master smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "He also said one thing in the letter, the fourth brother's guess that night was right." There were several new faces on his side. “

"Oh? How did he cope? The fourth master asked, he was still more interested in this.

"There's nothing to deal with, what should I do or what I should do!" The eighth master couldn't help but laugh as he spoke

The fourth master didn't expect this answer, he was stunned for a moment and laughed, and said, "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!" Is it overconfident? ”

"It's a bit silly, but it's rare." Eight Masters said.

"You're not worried at all." The fourth master said.

The eighth master smiled and said, "The way of being an official is not something that can be taught, you have to figure it out yourself." Although I doted on his sister, it didn't get to the point of supporting him by hand. Whether he can climb up or not depends on himself. “

"Yes. You didn't deliberately hide this relationship with him, you were already helping him. The fourth master nodded.

"Fourth brother, go out for a walk with me." The eighth master is still thinking about buying gifts!

"Just let your minions do this little thing, and I won't go." The fourth master shook his head. He has nothing to do with Mao Mingxuan, even if he has some appreciation, he doesn't have a big face to let him help pick gifts. It's rare to have a break, he might as well accompany Fujin!

The eighth master didn't really expect the fourth master to accompany him, but he just came to have news. Seeing that the fourth master refused, he didn't care, and immediately said: "The fourth brother is resting, I'll leave first." “

When Mao Mingxuan received the congratulatory gift sent by the eighth master, Master Cui was reporting to him about his observations on the unfamiliar faces in the county town in the past few days.

"Xia Guan saw that they saw several shops selling grain." Master Cui frowned and said, "Xia Guan is not down-to-earth, and he always feels that something is going to happen." “

"What's wrong with the grain merchants?" Mao Mingxuan asked: "This year's revenue cost is not good, after the disaster last year, the grain of the grain merchant tun was also bought by the imperial court to distribute to the people." They probably won't deliberately raise the price of grain. I had people go out on the street a few years ago. “

"That's what I said." Master Cui hesitated: "But why don't you look at anything else, just look at the grain store?" “

"Last year's accident was in the food area, so this year is especially important." Mao Mingxuan said. The emperor's southern tour is always purposeful. In Shandong, river engineering is the focus, and then there is the incident that happened last year.

"My lord, you controlled the grain merchant's grain price before, will something go wrong this time?" That's what Master Choi is worried about. Merchants are the most profitable, although they promise to be good on the surface, but they can't guarantee that they will say something behind their backs. If it is passed on to the emperor's ears by these people, it will not be a good thing.

Mao Mingxuan frowned slightly, and said, "Master Cui, it's not that I control the price of grain, but that they make a promise not to increase the price indiscriminately." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official is speechless." Master Cui said with an embarrassed face. Judging from the old fritters of their officialdom, this is similar to controlling food prices.

"We signed a letter of commitment, and they all signed it, even if it is in front of the emperor, I am not afraid. Don't worry about it. Mao Mingxuan said.

Of course he knew that these grain merchants were scolding him behind his back! Nor did he want to compete with them. Rather, it prevents them from driving up the price of grain, causing food shortages, and finally causing the people to have a hard time. If this situation is left unchecked, if another catastrophe occurs, it is bound to repeat the mistakes of last year.

Seeing Mao Mingxuan so indifferent, Master Cui felt that his heart had also been put down. He, an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, was appeased by a newcomer who had just entered the officialdom, and this feeling was really amazing.

Thinking about it, when he learned that Mao Mingxuan was coming to take over, he and Master Fang still scoffed, feeling that the emperor had chosen the wrong person. Now I just want to say that I admire the emperor's vision of people, and it is really not comparable to a small official like them.
