Although Kangxi has not returned to Beijing yet, it is impossible for the prince to keep the eighth master idle. Therefore, the eighth master began to enter the palace every day to run errands after the three banquets, and he couldn't accompany Mao Tongtong every day. In this way, Mao Tongtong became more and more bored.

Mama Luo's proposal made Mao Tongtong's eyes light up. She can't read books on her own right now, so finding someone is a good choice.

"Do we have literate minions in our yard?" Mao Tongtong asked with interest.

"Won't Gonggong Wu and Gonggong Quan know?" Mama Luo asked.

"I really don't know." Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment.

Although she was in the palace with these two little eunuchs serving her, she actually rarely asked them to do anything. Most of the time, she still prefers to use a few girls with green bamboo. It's really inconvenient to let Wu Youcai and Quan vigorously do it. She didn't seem to have a serious understanding of what skills these two minions had.

"Grandpa Wu doesn't seem to know. Quan Gonggong didn't know. Qingzhu said beside him.

"Call and ask." Mao Tongtong said.

Miao went out and called the two in.

As soon as they heard that they were asking if they were illiterate, both of them shook their heads again and again.

Not everyone in the palace had the opportunity to be literate. Like them, they were all sold into the palace because they were poor because their families were poor, how could they have the opportunity to read and write.

"Then do you know that there are literate minions in our house?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"The little boy in the front yard." Wu has a way of wealth.

Because of the reason for sending letters before, he still has some friendship with Xiao Xuzi in the front yard, and he knows more about it.

"Don't we have one?" Mao Tongtong asked. Xiao Xuzi is the slave of the eighth master, she can't call people from the front yard in order to read for herself.

What's more, Xiao Xuzi is Chen Guo's apprentice, and he also has a place in the front yard. When Chen Guo was not in the house, Xiao Xuzi was in charge of the front yard.

To put it mildly, let Xiao Xuzi serve her, some are overkill, and some are overstepping.

"Gege laughed, how can anyone in our courtyard be literate." Wu has a way of wealth.

"Mama, it seems that you can't do this." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

"Is there something wrong with the master looking for someone who can read? We don't have it in our yard, maybe we have it elsewhere? "Wu has a way of wealth.

"I'm thinking of finding someone to read to my master." Mama Luo said: "Now that the days are long, find something to pass the time for the master." ”

Wu Youcai understood now, and said, "The slave went to inquire and inquired, and I might be able to find one or two." ”

"Well, there you go." Mao Tongtong nodded, "Just be literate and eloquent." ”

Many people are literate, but they don't necessarily know how to read. You know, a lot of books nowadays have to break their own sentences.

"Minions understand." Wu Youcai responded.

When he went out, Mama Luo said again: "Master, in fact, if you ask Grandpa Xu to study, Lord Belle will also agree." ”

"I know my lord will agree." Mao Tongtong smiled and said, "But Father-in-law Xu is still in charge of the front yard, so I won't trouble him." ”

Mama Luo smiled: "Maybe the guild is happy to have this kind of opportunity. ”

"Huh? Gladly? Mao Tongtong didn't understand.

"The master thinks for himself, and the slave and maid don't talk about it." Mama Luo did not analyze Mao Tongtong as usual this time, but sold it.

In the past, Mao Tongtong was lazy, he didn't pay attention to many things, and he didn't bother to study deeply. But Mama Luo is now consciously exercising her to master the psychology of the minions. After all, they are the ones who want to be housekeepers, and the psychological analysis of the minions is not thorough, and some things are difficult to control.

Mao Tongtong was also bored, so he used his brain to think about it.

Xiao Xuzi has been with the eighth master for a long time, but there are not many opportunities to serve the eighth master.

Although Chen Guo accepted him as an apprentice, he rarely gave him the opportunity to show his face in front of the eighth master. After all, the eighth master is still young, and Chen Guo himself is not big, how can he hope that someone will compete with him?

Originally, if the eighth master often lived in the front yard, Xiao Xuzi would not worry about the opportunity to make up in front of the eighth master. It's a pity that since the eighth master started to spoil her, he has spent more and more time living in Yile Garden. In a month, I spend two or three days in the front yard at most, and sometimes not even one day. In this way, although Xiao Xuzi has a status in the front yard, he has lost the opportunity to perform in front of the eighth master.

Those who are slaves are also required to be motivated. Since Xiao Xuzi worshipped Chen Guo as his teacher, he obviously hoped that he would be reused one day. Now he is short of opportunities, and he must be anxious.

Coming to Yile Yuan to read the script is, in a sense, another opportunity.

On the surface, Xiao Xuzi changed from serving the eighth master to serving Mao Tongtong by one level. But in essence, it can make the eighth master pay more attention.

You know, Mao Tongtong is the most favored woman in this backyard. If she blows the pillow wind next to the eighth master, she can give Xiao Xuzi a chance to show her face.

Thinking of this, Mao Tongtong told her analysis and Mama Luo.

"Mama, is that what happened?"

"The master is so smart, he can understand it at all." Mama Luo smiled: "That's it. As long as Gonggong Xu is smart, he will be happy to come, and he will be grateful to his master for giving him this opportunity. If something happens to the master in the future, Father-in-law Xu will also help. ”

Hearing the end, Mao Tongtong had to admire Mama Luo. She only thought of the former, not the latter. This is probably what I have experienced in the deep palace for more than ten years.

"So, there is only a good and no harm in me mentioning this to my master?" Mao Tongtong asked.

Mama Luo nodded with a smile and said, "Unless Grandpa Xu doesn't want to be motivated, or he is too stupid to think of this layer." ”

"If he is stupid and unmotivated, he will not worship Chen Guo as a master." Mao Tongtong blurted out.

"So," Mama Luo smiled, "what else is the master hesitating about?" ”

"I've learned a lesson today." Mao Tongtong sighed.

"A housekeeper is a housekeeper, and if the master finds out what these minions are thinking, it will be easier for the housekeeper and he can manage it better." Mama Luo said: "Although the slave will help the master to take care of the house, the master always has his own housekeeper. ”

"Mama, thank you so much for more than a year." Mao Tongtong said.

"The master is polite. The slave and maid are still the same sentence, and the slave and maid are very happy to be able to help the master. The slave has been idle for too long, but now it can have a little effect, and she lives more energetically every day. Mama Luo said.

Wu Youcai came back after asking around, and the conclusion to Mao Tongtong was that in addition to Xiao Xuzi, there was only Chen Guo in the house.

Chen Guo is the personal eunuch of the eighth master, and it is impossible for him to read the script to Mao Tongtong. In this way, Xiao Xuzi has become the only candidate.

Since there is a hundred benefits and no harm, Mao Tongtong has nothing to hesitate about, and he told the eighth master that night.
