The eighth master walked to the side of the bed and reached out to pull the quilt that covered Mao Tongtong's entire body, "What's wrong?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"Back to Lord Belle, Gege is getting milk." Mama Luo replied.

"Huh?" The eighth master looked at Mama Luo blankly.

"Mama!" Mao Tongtong screamed anxiously under the quilt, with a little shame.

Mama Luo smiled and explained, "Gege has milk, so there will be swelling pain." ”

Only then did the eighth master come to his senses, pulled down the quilt and said, "Heye is still afraid to say this?" Come out and don't suffocate yourself. ”

Mao Tongtong blushed and slowly stretched out her head from under the quilt.

"It hurts badly?" Seeing that her eyes were red, the eighth master asked distressedly.

"Hmm." Mao Tongtong nodded lightly and said, "Master, can the slave and maid feed themselves?" ”

She felt pity. Obviously he has milk, but he has to let the nurse feed it. In Mao Tongtong's view, breastfeeding is also a way to enhance the relationship between mother and child. But according to the rules, she can't feed herself, so she can only endure the pain and let the milk rise back!

The eighth master frowned and said, "Isn't there a nurse?" Only poor families feed themselves! ”

"But the slave has milk!" Mao Tongtong said aggrievedly: "Besides, it really hurts!" ”

"Gege, just endure it for two days. When the milk comes back, it won't hurt. Mama Luo said on the side.

Mao Tongtong pursed her lips and didn't speak, but her eyes looked at the eighth master.

"Obedient, you sit in confinement and take care of your body, there are two nurses in Tuantuan!" The eighth master coaxed her.

"Isn't it good to let Tuan Tuan eat the milk of slaves and maids? The slave is his mother. Mao Tongtong fought for it again.

"There's no such rule." The eighth master said firmly: "Don't think about it." Listen to Mama Luo, just endure it for two days. ”

Mao Tongtong was a little frustrated, and it was really difficult to communicate with the ancients, especially in these so-called rules.

"Okay." She muffled.

"Mama, is there any way to alleviate her pain?" The eighth master looked at Mama Luo.

"There is a soup for milk, and the slave has already let the kitchen stew, so it's good to drink it for a few days." Mama Luo said.

The eighth master nodded, and turned back to coax Mao Tongtong, "Master knows that Tongtong is the strongest, this pain shouldn't be more painful than giving birth, right?" I believe you can endure it. ”

Mao Tongtong frowned and said, "The slave doesn't want to be strong at all. It's a sin to have a baby! ”

"Tongtong's hard work is known, and he will compensate Tongtong well." The eighth master coaxed gently.

"Hmph, it's not uncommon!" Mao Tongtong muttered in a low voice.

The eighth master smiled, hugged her and said, "Your temperament is getting bigger and bigger." Isn't the master's compensation rare? ”

Mao Tongtong rolled her eyes and didn't speak. She was so upset in pain now that she didn't want to talk much.

The eighth master babbled about the rewards given by Kangxi and the concubines who entered the palace today, and talked about the three banquets.

"Master is going to make Tuan Tuan's washing banquet more lively, and you can also invite your uncle and aunt to come over."

"Is it appropriate?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"If you want, please do it." Eight Masters said. He was thinking that Mao Tongtong was a relative of Chen Junjie's family in the capital.

"Can the slave invite her cousin?" Mao Tongtong asked. Speaking of Uncle Chen's house, she remembered Chen Ruzhu, who got married at the end of last year. I haven't seen her for a long time, I don't know if she's doing well after she gets married?

She stayed in the back house, and she could only see the female relatives when she washed the three feasts. Compared with Su, she would prefer to see Chen Ruzhu.

"The Prince's character?" The eighth master thought of Chen Ruyu and said, "If you want to see her, the master will tell the prince to bring it with him when he comes." ”

"No, the slave is talking about the cousin who married into the family of the Ministry of Works. Ruyu has been pregnant for a few months, so don't let her walk around the palace to avoid accidents. Mao Tongtong said.

"Oh, you said that one." Only then did the eighth master remember that Chen Junjie's family had two daughters, nodded and said, "If you want to please, the next post is." ”

"Thank you!" Mao Tongtong said.

In fact, with her status, she doesn't have to invite her relatives for the third banquet. The reason why the eighth master mentioned Uncle Chen's family was that he thought that it was her own uncle, and the relationship was different; Second, I also thought about such an important day, and she would feel better when her relatives came.

"The three banquets are tuantuan, and they are yours. You can't go out and walk around, and you can have more than one person to talk to you. "The eighth master said.

Listening to the Eighth Master's thoughtful words, Mao Tongtong decided to forgive the Eighth Master for insisting on not letting him breastfeed.

After saying this, the eighth master teased the child again, and left after lunch with Mao Tongtong. He was going to ask Chen Guo about the situation.

In the firewood room in the front yard, Vanilla knelt on the ground with a pale face, her hands tied behind her back with hemp rope, and her body was trembling.

"You can think clearly, this is not something that your little maid can afford. If you tell the truth, I can still plead for you in front of Lord Belle and spare your life. Chen Guo said coldly.

"Slave and maid tell the truth!" Vanilla said: "The slave is really because of Wang Gege." The slave and maid had received Wang Gege's kindness, and they had to agree to do it. ”

"Wang Gege is far away in Zhuangzi in the suburbs, she has been sent out for a few months, how can she contact you? You have to make up nonsense like a little bit! Chen Guo obviously didn't believe it. He knew in his heart who the eighth master suspected, even he himself doubted. You must know that he also went to check the matter of delivering the mother before. If you say that you don't have a mind, the ghost won't believe it! But now Vanilla insisted that it was instructed by Wang Gege, which surprised him a little.

"The steward of Zhuangzi would send things to the house every month, and Wang Gege's letter was sent to me at that meeting." Vanilla Road.

"How did the steward get into the backyard?" Chen Guo asked again.

"I asked someone to send in the little eunuch who was doing chores." Vanilla Road.

"That's what the spices were sent with you?" Chen Guo asked again.

Vanilla nodded.

"What great grace would make you take this risk?" Chen Guo continued to ask.

"The slave's mother had a serious illness and lacked silver, and it was Wang Gege who rewarded the slave and maid with silver and let the slave's mother live." Vanilla replied.

Chen Guo now understood that the Wang family probably wanted to buy a little maid from Yile Yuan to find out some news.

This tactic is also common. After all, Wang and Mao Tongtong are both qualified, and the two are competitors. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can better compete for favor.

"Is the letter still there? What about the remaining spices? Chen Guo asked again.

"The letter is in the core of the pillow in the slave's house. The spices are all in the slave's purse. Vanilla said. Chen Guo immediately asked people to search for it, and sure enough, they found the letter that Vanilla said. But there were no words on the letter, but a picture.

"Slaves and maids are illiterate." Vanilla explained.

Looking at the evidence received, as well as Vanilla's statement, Chen Guo actually believed it a little. What follows is the confrontation of several key characters.
