It's also a coincidence, the eighth master, who usually doesn't come back at this hour, came back today.

Mao Tongtong had just sent Qi Jia's family to the gate of the courtyard, and he was running into the eighth master who was about to enter the door.

"Master? Why did you come back so early today? Mao Tongtong was surprised. She blessed her body, and asked very easily.

Qi Jiashi was stunned for a while, and only reacted when Mao Tongtong spoke, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave maid greets Lord Belle, Lord Baylor is auspicious." ”

"You are?" The eighth master looked at Qi Jia's face blankly.

Qi Jia's face turned red when he brushed it, and he couldn't tell whether he was shy or embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Mao Tongtong sighed in her heart, she didn't expect this embarrassing scene to happen in front of her.

"Master, this is Qi Gege, Concubine Hui sent her to the house a month ago." Mao Tongtong explained.

The eighth master thought for a while before remembering this stubble, "oh", glanced at Qi Jia's family, but said to Mao Tongtong: "Why did you get out of bed?" You're still in confinement! ”

"Have you forgotten, the slave is full moon today." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

"This is the full moon? I'm still thinking about letting you sit in confinement. Raise more. "The eighth master said.

"Today, the house doctor came to check the pulse of the slave maid, and the slave maid's body is well maintained." Mao Tongtong said.

"That's good." The eighth master smiled and took her hand.

If no one was talking and laughing beside the two, Qi Jiashi would be embarrassed to stand down again, so he said: "The slave and maid will retire first, and don't disturb Lord Beile and Mao Gege." ”

"Well, you step aside." The eighth master didn't even look at her. Mao Tongtong only had time to turn around and say, "Ziggege, thank you for today's gift." "I was pulled away by the eighth master.

Qi Jiashi smiled, a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and turned to leave.

The courtyard where she lives is not too far from Yele Garden. But today, she felt that this road seemed very long. It looked like she didn't even have the strength to walk back.

After going to Yile Yuan several times, she naturally had the intention of meeting the eighth master in her heart. But she didn't lie to Mao Tongtong. She was cheeky and went to Yile Yuan as if she was stammering, more because of the cute big brother. Encountering the eighth master by chance is just a kind of luck.

It's good to run into nature, and there's nothing to regret if you don't. But she never thought that the first meeting with the eighth master would be so devastating.

He looked at her with a very indifferent look in his eyes, without the slightest wave. Even when he heard that she was the Gege chosen for him by Concubine Hui, he was only slightly surprised, and then regained his composure. After that, his attention was on Mao Gege, as if she didn't exist.

She knows that she is not the kind of first-class beauty, but she can also be called beautiful, and she is not bad compared to Mao Gege. The indifference of the eighth master really surprised her, and at the same time, she was also hit hard.

She hasn't been able to see the eighth master for a month. At the beginning, she also complained about Mao Gege, feeling that it was not the right time for her to give birth. But after coming into contact with Mao Gege twice, she still likes Mao Gege's easy-going temperament, and the resentment in her heart is gone, but she just laments that her luck is not good.

Gradually, she began to know something from the mouth of the minions in the house. I also began to have a clear understanding of the extent of Mao Gege's favor.

She's not a competitive person, nor is she a trickster. At that time, I thought in my heart, with Mao Gege, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to be favored. But at that time, she was still looking forward to the arrival of the eighth master. She thought in her heart, even if she was not favored, but after all, she was a Gege rewarded by the palace, and it was impossible for the eighth master to ignore her for the rest of her life.

Women, marry whoever you marry. With her family background, even if she doesn't enter the royal family, she can only marry an ordinary petty official as a wife, and her life may not be as good as that in Baylor's mansion. As long as the eighth master occasionally remembers to come to live with her for a day or two, she can have a child again, and it is not a good thing to live so quietly in this life.

But today, she found that such a small expectation was like an extravagant hope.

"Gege, are you feeling unwell?" Dongxue on the side glanced at Qi Jia's pale face with some concern.

"Ah, it's okay!" Qi Jiashi suddenly woke up from his thoughts.

"Gege, the sun is just right today, I heard that the roses in the garden are blooming just right, do you want to go and see it?" Winter Snow suggested.

Qi Jiashi paused and said, "It's okay." It's been a month, and I haven't been to the garden to enjoy the flowers. ”

"Gege, go this way." Dongxue smiled and led the way.

Qi Jiashi went to the garden with the winter snow.

In Yile Garden, the eighth master sat down and let people come together.

"Didn't you have any errands today?" Mao Tongtong said curiously.

"The war in Fujian is over, and there is no need to reallocate the military grain and grass here, so I can be lazy." The eighth master smiled.

"I've been busy losing weight lately, so it's time to take a good rest." Mao Tongtong said.

"When the fourth brother and the tenth brother come back, Huang Ama will prepare to leave for Chengde, and Tongtong will go with his master this year." Eight Masters said.

"Huh? What about the tuantus? Mao Tongtong said subconsciously. It was probably more than a month after I went to Chengde, and it was less than three months since I went to Chengde. Such a young child is not suitable for going out at all.

"Tuan Tuan is in the house, guarded by nurses and minions." Eight Masters said.

"That's not going to work." Mao Tongtong immediately vetoed, "The child is still so young, the slave can't leave him alone in the house." ”

"You don't want to accompany your grandfather to revisit his hometown?" Eight Masters said.

"The slave has a chance to accompany the master in the future, okay?" Mao Tongtong coaxed softly.

Although in ancient times, it was not uncommon for nurses and minions to take care of children like this, she still couldn't bear to leave the newborn child behind, and she went out with the eighth master.

"Really?" The eighth master asked without giving up.

Mao Tongtong shook his head firmly, "Before Tuan Tuan was one year old, slaves and maids wanted to guard him every day. ”

"Then I'm going to take someone else." Eight Masters said.

Mao Tongtong hesitated for a moment, but quickly said firmly: "The slave knows that the slave still wants to accompany Tuan Tuan." ”

The eighth master has nothing to say now, but he is a little disappointed. Mao Tongtong was unable to go to Jiangnan with him because he was pregnant, but this year the child was born, but he didn't go to Chengde with him. Although it was for the sake of the child, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The nurse just hugged Tuan Tuan, and the eighth master said when she saw it: "Stinky boy, I robbed you Ama when I was born!" ”

Mao Tongtong couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you still jealous with Tuan Tuan." It is the slave and maid who want to accompany him, and what does it have to do with him? ”

"It doesn't matter anymore! If you didn't have him, wouldn't you be able to accompany your grandfather? "The eighth master said as a matter of course.
