Chapter 602: As a last resort
Since there were guests coming, Mao Tongtong naturally couldn't still nest in his house, so he asked Qingzhu to redress himself, change his clothes, and go to the door of Zhuangzi to greet him.
The wind was blowing outside, and the chill was blowing in his face, Mao Tongtong wrapped the cloak on his body and hugged the stove in his hand.
"Is Gege cold? Do you want to go back and add a shoulder? Qingzhu asked.
"It's fine. It's just that I don't get used to it when I come out suddenly. Mao Tongtong smiled slightly.
She hadn't been out of the house for two days, and she was used to the warmth of the house, and she was a little uncomfortable at first cold. Fortunately, I was dressed warmly, except for my face feeling a little cold, everything else was fine.
Walking to the gate of Zhuangzi with Qingzhu and Qingmiao, I saw someone riding a horse from a distance.
"It must be the master's return." Mao Tongtong said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.
"Definitely, yes. There are a few of them! Qingzhu looked at it.
The area of Xiaotangshan is not very lively, and there are even fewer people passing by in the evening. Although I can't see what the people in the distance look like, I can guess that it is the eighth master.
Soon those people came from far and near, and a smile appeared on Mao Tongtong's face. Who is it that is not the first master?
"The slave has seen Lord Baylor, the ninth master, and the tenth master!"
When the three of them got off the horse, Mao Tongtong saluted in a proper manner.
The eighth master hurriedly supported her body to be blessed, and said with a distressed face: "You are just sick, why did you come out to blow the wind again?" What if I catch a cold again? ”
The ninth and tenth masters were watching from the sidelines, Mao Tongtong couldn't help blushing, lowered his eyes and said, "Where are you so squeamish?" Come in, I'm afraid it's going to rain this day. ”
The eighth master naturally took her hand and walked in, turned back to the ninth and tenth masters behind him and said, "Ninth brother, tenth brother, come in quickly, the sky is going to change." ”
Only then did the group enter Zhuangzi.
"The slave has ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal, where is Lord Belle going to eat?" Mao Tongtong asked.
She thought that the ninth master and the tenth master were coming, and the eighth master should not let her eat together, I am afraid that there is something to discuss.
"It's in our courtyard, and you'll be with you in a moment." Eight Masters said.
Mao Tongtong glanced at the eighth master with some surprise, and saw that his expression was natural, so he didn't ask anything.
"Little sister-in-law, we are here to find starlings to drink, there are not so many rules." The tenth master, who was following behind, suddenly interjected.
The Ninth Master patted him and said, "What so many words!" ”
"I was right!" The tenth master said with a stiff neck.
The ninth master glared at him helplessly, and Mao Tongtong couldn't help but laugh when he heard it in front. This ten masters are also a wonderful flower among the princes. Everyone else is a seven-trick heart, but he is always arrogant and scheming.
"The tenth brother is right, today our brothers are drinking, there are not so many rules. Tongtong will add wine to us in a moment. The eighth master smiled.
"Slaves and maids listen to the master." Mao Tongtong smiled softly.
When I entered the house, I saw the nurse waiting in the house with Tuan Tuan in her arms. Suddenly seeing so many people coming in, the nurse hurriedly blessed her body, while Tuan Tuan was frightened, and looked at Mao Tongtong and pouted.
"Ah, this is Hongwang! You've grown so big! The tenth master came over with an excited face.
Mao Tongtong hurriedly hugged Tuan Tuan from the nurse's arms, looked at the tenth master apologetically and said, "Ten masters, Tuan Tuan is a little recognizant now." ”
"Tuan Tuan?" The tenth master looked back at the eighth master in surprise, "Hongwang's nickname? ”
The eighth master nodded with a smile and said, "He gave it to his mother." ”
The tenth master glanced at Mao Tongtong.
"It's a reunion." Mao Tongtong smiled embarrassedly. In fact, it was only when I saw that this child looked fleshy.
"Haha, is the little sister-in-law called Yuanyuan if she has another nickname?" The Tenth Master laughed.
Mao Tongtong's face turned red again.
"Ninth brother, tenth brother, sit down." The eighth master opened his mouth and relieved Mao Tongtong.
Tuan Tuan lay in Mao Tongtong's arms, vigilantly looking at the ninth and tenth masters beside the eighth master.
He has seen extremely limited people since he was born. I saw a lot of people on the day of Xisan, but he was only three days old at that time, where would he have memories. Now that he is getting older, except for the eighth master and Mao Tongtong, there are a few servants around him. is a good concubine in the palace, because she has seen little, she has to coax for a long time every time before she is willing to get close.
"Starling, the regiment looks like you." The Ninth Master will say, "It's much better looking than when I was born." ”
"Little ones change every day! If you haven't seen each other for a while, you won't know each other. You'll know when you have a baby. The eighth master had the tone of a passer-by.
"Starling, Brother Nine and I haven't gotten married yet!" The tenth master said with a dissatisfied face.
The eighth master said with a smile: "Wait for next year's general election, Huang Ama should give you two a blessing." ”
Hearing this, Mao Tongtong felt a little uncomfortable on the side. It's a topic she doesn't want to mention or think about. Although the eighth master is married, he will not be given a woman in the draft. Not to mention much, there are one or two grids. I didn't see that this year is not a draft year, and a Qi Jia clan has entered the house!
The ninth master smiled and didn't say anything, but the tenth master changed his face.
"Is there a draft next year?"
The eighth master and the ninth master all looked at the tenth master in unison, and this reaction was a little strange.
"Tenth brother, don't you still think about that Mongolian Gege?" The Ninth Master said.
Mao Tongtong also remembered it now, that year outside the Saiwai, the enthusiastic and bold Mongolian Gege.
It's been almost three years, and she doesn't remember the name of that Mongolian Gege, does the tenth master still remember?
"What are the nine brothers talking about!" The tenth master actually blushed rarely.
Looking at him like this, there is something that everyone doesn't understand.
"Tenth brother, with Emperor Ama's favor for you, you can go and ask for it." The eighth master said: "A few of our brothers have not married Mongolian Fujin yet. Although there were almost few Mongolian concubines in the harem starting from Huang Ama, marrying with Mongolia was still a good way to stabilize Manchu and Mongolian relations. ”
A trace of unclear light flashed in the eyes of the tenth master, and he said, "Brother Starling, didn't you say drinking, why are you talking about this!" I'm hungry! ”
He doesn't want to talk about it! The eighth master naturally didn't force it, so he let people serve the food, but he was surprised that the tenth master also had such a child's mind.
The three of them didn't drink too much wine that night, but they talked a lot about the government. Mao Tongtong has been accompanying him and has listened a lot.
She already knew a little about history, but later because she found that some things had changed after crossing over, she didn't think about that historical knowledge anymore. Listening to what the eighth master and they were talking about, she realized that the general historical trend has not changed.
Judging from the current situation, the eighth master still stands on the opposite side of the prince. embarking on the matter of competing for the crown may also be the last resort of the eighth master.
