"It's fine." Mao Tongtong nodded.

After drinking too hot**, Mao Tongtong slowly became tired and fell asleep with a smile.

Uncle Chen was very happy about the arrival of Mao and Chen, although Su was reluctant, but thinking of Mao Tongtong's care for Chen Ruzhu, his face was still enthusiastic.

Mao Chengyun and his wife, who were resting in the guest room that night, also couldn't sleep for a long time.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Tongtong has changed." Chan said. Women are always more observant. Mao Tongtong has changed from a young girl to a woman, coupled with the change of identity, the temperament of the whole body is very different from when she was in Yangzhou.

"Yes, in the end, it's the one who made the mother. Grew up. Mao also sighed. The little girl who would shake his arm and be coquettish back then has become a big Baylor Mansion.

"Seeing that there is no gloom between Tongtong's eyebrows, it should be a good life." Chan said.

"Just looking at her being able to communicate with us frequently, you know that the eighth master really loves her. Which one who marries into the royal family can contact his mother's family so often? What's more, she's just a side fujin. Mao said.

"It's really reassuring to see it with my own eyes." Chen said: "I was worried that this year was another draft year, and the newcomers in the Eighth Master Mansion would have an impact on Tongtong's status. Now it seems that I am worried about it. ”

"I think the eighth master is a loving person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent a doctor from the capital to see you last year. Tongtong gave birth to her eldest son again, he won't just like the new and hate the old. Mao said.

The couple analyzed what they had seen and heard today, and finally came up with a result that satisfied and reassured both of them. Mao Tongtong had a really good life in the Eighth Master's Mansion.

The worries about Mao Tongtong for several years were finally lifted, and coupled with the tiring journey, the couple soon fell asleep.

And the Su family here is still chatting with Uncle Chen.

"Your eldest sister really wants to buy a house in the capital? Does she know how much silver she gets for a house in the capital now? Can you get it? Don't ask us to borrow it then! ”

"Is the eldest sister such a no-brainer? She had already asked me in the letter. I must have the money in my hand to let me inquire. The eldest sister said, you don't need to be big, just a small yard with two entrances. It is considered that she and her brother-in-law will retire in the future. Uncle Chen said with some displeasure.

Su Shi looked slightly uncomfortable and said, "It's good if she has a number." I'm afraid that she won't be able to figure out the market and work in vain. ”

"I don't know you yet? I'm afraid that the eldest sister will reach out to us, right? Uncle Chen sneered and said, "Don't let the eldest sister find out about your little caution!" Lose face! The daughter of the family is now the side of the eighth master, and she doesn't have any silver in her hand? Not to mention buying a two-entry house, even if you buy a bigger one, it's no problem. ”

"That's not what I said." Su Shi defended.

"Let me tell you, during the time that the eldest sister and brother-in-law are living in our house, you can take good care of me. After that, I don't know who will rely on whom! Look at Ruzhu, if Tongtong hadn't made her face, would she have today's scenery in her husband's house? Let's explain again, when I return to Beijing this year, I will definitely be promoted, and I will have a great future in the future! Our family is going downhill, but the eldest sister's family is going uphill! Don't be too short-sighted! Uncle Chen said earnestly.

Su Shi was speechless. Because what Uncle Chen said was the truth. In the past, she looked down on the Chen family. But now, she has to admit that this family is getting better and better, and will soon be able to surpass theirs.

Although she felt in her heart that Chen Ruyu would be more promising. But now that the emperor is in good health, the crown prince does not know when he will succeed to the throne, and the time for this more prosperous realization is really far away.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Su finally made a promise.

On the second day, when Mao Tongtong came to Uncle Chen's house, Su was warmly welcomed. was so enthusiastic that Mao Tongtong felt that she didn't know Su anymore.

I think that when she went to Beijing with the Chen family, although the Su family also welcomed her at the gate of the mansion, although she also had a smile on her face, but there was alienation in that smile, which made people know at a glance that she was not really welcome.

"Tongtong hasn't come for a while. Come in and talk. Now that you, Ama and Eniang, have also entered Beijing, it is rare for our family to get together. Su Shi actually grabbed Mao Tongtong's arm.

Although the Su family, who is too polite, makes people uncomfortable, the Su family, who is too enthusiastic, also makes people a little unbearable.

But Mao Tongtong couldn't refuse, so he could only let Su Shi drag him all the way into the house.

"Auntie, it's almost winter, so I've brought some good skins. I'm tired of you taking care of my Ama and Eniang these days. Mao Tongtong said.

"Look at you, why are you so polite! It's all family. Your Ama and Eniang came to the capital to live with me, so is it difficult to stay at the guest house? Su Shi said angrily.

Mao Tongtong smiled and said, "What my aunt said is right. But that's what I have on my mind. You think you're a niece and want to honor you. ”

"Yes, brother and sister, don't be polite to her. The filial piety of the juniors to the elders is what it should be. Chen also helped on the side.

"Okay! I love to hear that! You're welcome. Su said with a smile.

The women here talk about homely things, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

And Uncle Chen is resting today, and he is also at home. chatted with Mao Chengyun. Both of them are officialdom, exchanging news about the assessment of officials this time. Uncle Chen is a Beijing official in the end, and he is more well-informed, while Mao Chengyun is mainly listening.

"If my brother-in-law wants to stay in Beijing, I'm afraid he will have to move. There are not many vacancies in Kyori this year. Uncle Chen said.

"Activities? Who can I go to? You know mine, too. I have been in Yangzhou all the year round, and I have no other connections in Beijing except for knowing you. Mao Chengyun smiled bitterly: "I said to stay in Beijing, just to try my luck." This year, the prefect recommended me. But it is unknown whether the assessment on the part of the ministry can be passed. ”

"Recommended by the prefect?" Uncle Chen was a little surprised.

You must know that the current prefect of Yangzhou has been in office for some years. It can be said that Mao Chengyun has been a garrison for a few years, and he has been a prefect for a few years. Over the years, he has never thought of recommending Mao Carrier for promotion, why did he recommend it this year?

"The daughter of the prefect entered the Eighth Master's Mansion this year to do Gege." Mao Carrier Road.

This was also his own guess. Mao Tongtong is now a side blessing, but Fang Ruoyun is just a character, and she is pressed alive. Could the prefect be because he loves his daughter, so he shows favor to Mao Tongtong through him? Do you want Mao Tongtong to take care of Fang Ruoyun?

"Huh? And such a coincidence? Uncle Chen was taken aback and said, "Is the prefect's daughter younger than Tongtong?" How do I remember being the same year? ”
