The weather was nice on this day. Spring is bright and breezy. The preparations for hospitality in the house are basically ready, and Mama Lei is making the final confirmation.

After the end of the day, the guests came to the door one after another.

The earliest one who came was the ninth master who lived in the palace. Before he got married, he came alone.

"Starling, congratulations!" The ninth master smiled.

"Haha, come in and talk." The eighth master welcomed him into the house with a smile.

The relationship between the ninth master and the eighth master is not ordinary, and the congratulatory gifts are also very valuable. The eighth master thanked him repeatedly.

It was still early, so the two of them sat down to drink tea and chat. After a while, I heard that the little eunuch had come to report that the eldest brother was coming.

"Ouch, I thought my big brother wouldn't be here today!" The Ninth Master sneered.

Because the war against the Japanese in Fujian did not arrange an errand for the eldest brother, he lived in Zhuangzi in the suburbs for a long time. I came back not long ago. The people next to him may not know, but the ninth and tenth masters are clear, and the eldest brother is worried about the eighth master receiving an errand this time.

"Even for the sake of Concubine Hui's mother, he has to come." Eight Masters said.

"It's not too tiring to do this kind of face!" The Ninth Master said disdainfully.

"Okay, ninth brother, he is the eldest brother after all. You just don't have to say a word. The eighth master spoke.

Although Concubine Hui is not as favored as Concubine Yi in the harem now, the eldest brother is long after all, and he is brave and good at fighting, which has always been Kangxi's favorite. This rare snub is just a warning to the eldest brother, not really disappointed in him. If the ninth master really wants to match the eldest brother, he can't take advantage.

"Starling, you just have a good temperament." The Ninth Master said.

The eighth master shook his head with a smile and said, "I'll go to greet you, you sit first." ”

The eldest brother came with Dafujin, and also brought his eldest daughter and second daughter.

The eighth master welcomed the eldest brother to the front yard, and the big Fu Jin was led to the backyard Guo Luo Luo.

After a while, the fifth master and the seventh master also came one after another, each with Fujin. All of a sudden, the Eighth Master's Mansion became lively.

"It's a pity that the tenth brother is not here." The Ninth Master suddenly spoke: "When he comes back, he will definitely mutter, he has missed a good opportunity to drink." ”

"When the fourth brother and the tenth brother come back, I'll pick them up again!" The eighth master smiled.

The fourth and tenth masters are still fighting in the Fujin Naval War, although there is good news, but it is not over yet.

Then came some clans, and Uncle Chen brought Su and Chen Ruzhu to come together at an appointment.

Among the four people, except for the Su family, they were all coming to the Eighth Master Mansion for the first time. Although Uncle Chen told Chen Ruzhu that the eighth master was kind, in fact, he himself was inevitably a little nervous.

He doesn't have much to do with the eighth master on weekdays. His impression of the eighth master's kindness is just that he always has a smiling face on weekdays. And it's up close, and it feels different.

"Tongtong is looking forward to you coming!" The eighth master smiled.

This sentence made Uncle Chen and the others feel flattered. After seeing the ceremony, he was taken into the Eight Masters' Mansion. And Su and Chen Ruzhu were taken to the backyard.

Although they were specially invited by Mao Tongtong, they also had to go to see Guo Luo Luo first. After all, the hostess of this mansion is Guo Luo Luo.

Guo Luoluo did not deliberately embarrass him. On an occasion like today, she still knows how to measure. After a simple greeting, the two of them went to see Mao Tongtong.

"Eniang, it seems that Lord Belle and Fujin are very good to Tongtong." Chen Ruzhu said.

Su Shi glanced at her and said, "Lord Belle must be good to her." Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to invite us. As for Fujin, not necessarily. ”

"But I just saw that Fujin was quite kind." Chen Ruzhu said. Although she participated in the draft with Mao Tongtong and them, she did not make it to the final re-election, so she didn't know about the rumors of Guo Luo Luo's family.

"You, you're all people who have a husband, and you're still so naïve!" Su Shi glanced at Chen Ruzhu with some worry, and said, "If you are the Eight Blessings, a concubine gave birth to the eldest son, and you are so favored, can you be happy?" Can it really be good for this concubine? ”

Su Shi was speechless when Chen Ruzhu asked with a word. She is also a wife herself. Although she was taught to be generous, if this kind of thing really happened, I believe she would definitely be sad in her heart.

"That's what E-Niang said." Chen Ruzhu said.

"This is the difference between being a concubine and being a wife." Su said: "If you want me to say, it's not a good thing that your third sister is so high-profile now. If the eighth master keeps spoiling her, it's okay to say, if she falls out of favor one day, life will definitely be sad. ”

"Isn't Ruyu's life in the palace also not easy?" Chen Ruzhu asked.

Su Shi smiled reluctantly: "How is it like jade!" She is the prince's woman, and now she is a concubine. She only told Chen Ruzhu about Chen Ruyu's good life now, and she hid all the hardships she had suffered before.

Chen Ruzhu has taken good care of this sister since she was a child, and if she learns that she is suffering, she will definitely feel distressed. It's just that they are all outside the palace, and they can't help anything except feel distressed. In this case, it is better to worry less.

The two of them arrived at Yile Garden as they spoke, and the little eunuch at the door welcomed the two into the courtyard, and let them go in to report.

After a while, Qingzhu came out to welcome the two into the house.

"Gege is waiting for the two ladies in the morning!" Qingzhu smiled.

Su Shi came here once, and he already recognized Qingzhu, so he smiled and said, "Hello girl." ”

Qingzhu was busy and opened the door curtain for the two.

This is the first time Chen Ruzhu has come to Mao Tongtong. Looking at the furnishings in the house and the servants and maids who were waiting, she was still slightly amazed in her heart.

Baylor Mansion is really different, it is much more expensive than the Shilang Mansion where she lives. Although Mao Tongtong is just a character, because he is favored, he lives a better life than the wife of an ordinary rich family!

She was very happy for Mao Tongtong. No matter whether the eighth master's favor lasts for a long time, it is better to be favored than not to be favored. Even if you fall out of favor in the future, you will live a good life.

"Auntie, cousin, come and sit!" Mao Tongtong laughed as soon as he saw the two.

Chen Ruzhu was in a trance for a moment before she smiled and said: "The third sister has grown up in the past two years, but I don't dare to admit it." ”

Mao Tongtong is not only fat, but also dresses very differently. The clothes on the body and the jewelry on the head are all good things at a glance.

"Am I fat and deformed?" Mao Tongtong said with a bitter face.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Chen Ruzhu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I mean my sister is now extravagant, so I don't dare to admit it." ”

"Big sister is really good at laughing!" Mao Tongtong glanced down at himself and said, "Where did you get the extravagance, it's a whole body of meat!" ”

Su Shi interjected with a smile on the side: "You are now the Gege of Lord Belle, of course it is different!" ”
