Because Mao Tongtong was not there, Yile Yuan closed the courtyard door early. So when Chen Guo went to knock on the door, a little eunuch came to open the door in the middle of the night, muttering something reluctantly. When he opened the door and saw that it was the eighth master, the little eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.

"What about the people in your courtyard? All followed? The eighth master asked coldly.

The little eunuch hurriedly replied, "Mama Luo is here." The minions are going to call. ”

The eighth master raised his feet and walked into the house.

There are no major changes in the house, but if you look closely, some of the small objects that Mao Tongtong is used to on weekdays are gone. For example, the white porcelain tea cup commonly used by Mao Tongtong on the table, such as the jewelry box on the dresser by the window, and the pen used by Mao Tongtong to draw patterns on the bookcase, etc.

The eighth master's expression suddenly had a trace of trance.

Every time he enters Yile Garden, there are enthusiastic smiling faces of the maids at the door, and he can always see green bamboo or green seedlings coming out after entering the house. Sometimes he told him that Mao Tongtong was sleeping, sometimes he could see Mao Tongtong sitting not far away smiling at him, sometimes Mao Tongtong was teasing Tuan Tuan, and the mother and son were giggling there.

Today is the loneliest. There are no maids, no tuantuan, and no hair. Even the familiar smell of fruit in the house is gone.

Other women's houses are full of incense with various spices, but Mao Tongtong likes the fragrance of fruits. Every season, seasonal fruits are placed in the house, or the peels are placed directly on the smoker, so that the aroma of the fruit is stronger.

Accustomed to smelling the fruity aroma in the house, even the eighth master himself is not used to the smell of spices.

"The slave has seen Lord Belle, please say goodbye to Lord Baylor." Mama Luo's voice interrupted the eighth master's thoughts.

He turned around and looked at it, and said, "Did you say anything when you left?" ”

"Back to Lord Belle, Gege only said that the slave maid should take care of the yard and wait for her to come back, and nothing else was said." Mama Luo said.

After hesitating for a moment, the eighth master asked, "She, is she unhappy?" ”

Mama Luo quickly understood what the eighth master meant, and hurriedly said: "No, Gege was very happy when he left!" She said she had wanted to go out for a long time. ”

"Happy? It's true? The eighth master looked incredulous.

"Yes! As soon as Gege got Fujin's consent, he asked the slaves and maids to help pack up their things, and he was very interested. Gege said that she hadn't been out of the house for more than a year, and since Lord Belle didn't have time, it would be good for her to go out by herself. Mama Luo said.

"You're mad at me." Eight Masters said.

Mama Luo said so much, but he only heard the last sentence. After all, the eighth master couldn't understand the psychology of Mao Tongtong going out to play with the children alone. In his opinion, without his company, Mao Tongtong's behavior is anger.

Mama Luo glanced up at the eighth master, thought about it, and didn't know how to explain it to the eighth master, so she could only remain silent. At the beginning, she told Gege that the eighth master would misunderstand, but unfortunately Gege didn't listen. This will only hope that the eighth master will not feel that he is willful.

For a while, the eighth master didn't speak, and Mama Luo lowered her head and didn't dare to look like the eighth master, so she could only stand quietly on the side.

After a long while, the eighth master turned around and left the house, without saying a word.

Only then did Mama Luo raise her head, shook her head, and went back to her house.

On the Zhuangzi, Mao Tongtong arrived before noon. Because someone was sent in advance, Zhuangzi had already made preparations.

Although the steward was also full of questions about Mao Tongtong coming alone with the child, he also heard that this Mao Gege was very favored in the mansion and was the biological mother of the only heir of the eighth master, so he did not dare to slack off at all.

So when Mao Tongtong arrived, the house he lived in had already been cleaned up. After she settled down, lunch was quickly delivered.

Tuan Tuan This is the first time since he was born to go out of the house by car. At first, I was quite excited, babbling in the car. Later, he fell asleep in the shaking of the carriage. When he arrived at Zhuangzi, he slept very sweetly, but let Mao Tongtong have a quiet lunch.

"Qingzhu, I'll take a nap. If Tuan Tuan wakes up after a while, let the nurse take it to play first. "Mao Tongtong rarely gets up early, and he will be even more sleepy when he is full.

"Yes, Gege. You have a good rest. Qingzhu responded.

Mao Tongtong was lying on the soft bed, but there was nothing uncomfortable, and she soon fell asleep.

For a person who has been confined to the backyard for more than a year, even just going to this kind of suburban Zhuangzi to breathe a different air is satisfying.

She slept until Ugin was sleeping, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the window.

"Green bamboo." She shouted, but was surprised to get no response.

When I got out of bed and put on my clothes, I heard faint laughter coming from outside the house.

Mao Tongtong walked to the door of the house and saw that the nurse was squatting on the ground with Tuan Tuan, forming a circle with Qingzhu and a few people, and she didn't know what she was playing, and she heard Tuan Tuan giggle from time to time.

Mao Tongtong walked over to take a look, and he couldn't help laughing. These people are actually playing with ants!

"Gege is awake?" Qingzhu hurriedly got up and said with a look of shame: "The slave and maid are derelict in their duties, and please punish them." ”

"It's fine. What do you guys want to play with this? What is on this earth? Honeycomb? Mao Tongtong pointed to a honeycomb surrounded by a cloud of ants.

"Well, it's a honeycomb dug by the minions on the Zhuangzi. The honey in it has been squeezed out, and there is still a sweet smell on this little bit left, and the slave and maid are going to come and play with the ants. Qingmiao smiled: "Big brother likes to watch it." ”

Children are curious about everything in this world, whether it is a flower on the side of the road or an ant on the ground, it is a novelty for them.

Compared with modern children's addiction to video games, Mao Tongtong feels that this kind of entertainment close to nature is more suitable for children. When I was in the house, the area that could be moved was so large, but the Zhuangzi in the suburbs was different, as if the world was more extensive.

"Take him to the small fish in the mountain stream tomorrow or something, I guess he will be happier." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

"The slave and maid listened to the steward, the oranges on the back mountain are growing just right, and you can go to pick oranges tomorrow." Green onion road.

"Good! Then let's go pick oranges tomorrow. Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

This is a natural and pollution-free fruit! Healthier than the fruit picked in the so-called farmhouses of modern times.

Tuan Tuan also saw Mao Tongtong at this time, and stretched out his hand to let her hug.

"Tuan Tuan, will E-Niang take you to see the stars tonight?" Mao Tongtong took Tuan Tuan from the nurse and teased him with a smile.

Walking out of Zhuangzi to the back mountain, there is a large open space, and the field of vision is particularly broad, which is suitable for watching the stars and admiring the moon.
