Chapter 957: Can't Escape
"Don't worry too much. Just because something can't be found out for a while doesn't mean it won't be found out in the future. Maybe when the eighth brother comes back, there will be other ways, but I can't say. Sifujin persuaded again.
"I know." Mao Tongtong sighed and said, "It's just that there is always a little unwillingness in my heart." I thought I could find out, but I still have to wait for our lord to come back. ”
"After all, we are subject to the back house, and there are many things that cannot be checked or touched. Just do your best. "Four Blessings Jin Dao.
"Actually, I've thought about it, even if I find out, it's probably not a person who can move casually." Mao Tongtong said: "People who can set up this kind of bureau are definitely not ordinary people. ”
"If only you knew it in your heart." Sifujin smiled and said, "There are too many helpless times in life. Although I don't want to face it, the reality is that. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about such a heavy topic." Mao Tongtong smiled and said, "You should take good care of yourself." When you're all right, let's call the Nine Blessings and the Ten Blessings together to get together. ”
"Hmm. You too. Sifujin smiled.
When he came back from the Fourth Master's Mansion, Mao Tongtong was completely paralyzed.
"Master, don't bother with it for the past two days, let's take care of it." Qingzhu couldn't help but muttered again.
"Well, listen to you guys this time!" Mao Tongtong smiled, "I really don't have the strength anymore." ”
Things are not going well on Mao Tongtong's side, and the weather is getting warmer on the eighth master's side, and the delayed construction period has caught up with the progress again.
"Eighth master, it is estimated that when our dam project is completed, the weather will be really cold. The reservoir will have to wait for the beginning of spring. "Blessed Spirit.
"If you can complete one, count one. My excerpt should have arrived in Beijing. What to do later, wait for the will of Huang Ama. The eighth master said lightly.
In the end, he wrote the situation down as it was. As for the questions in his mind, of course, none of them were written.
Writing it is a question of Kangxi, and it also puts a lot of things on the table, which will make it very embarrassing.
It's like what he found when he went to Yangzhou. If he were to deal with it now, I am afraid he would not have handed it over stupidly. Sometimes, it's better to play dumb.
Fortunately, Kangxi's reply came quickly. At the end of the construction of the river embankment, the eighth master received a will from the capital. Let him and Fulinga leave for Beijing immediately. As for the construction of the reservoir, we will wait until the beginning of next spring. And the silver taels that were allocated were not ordered to be brought back.
If there is a will, it is easy to do things, and the eighth master and Fu Ling'a immediately completed the handover with the local officials, and then set off to return to Beijing. At this time, it has been almost two months since the eighth master left the capital.
It's a cold winter in the capital. On the day the eighth master returned to Beijing, it was snowing heavily, and even pedestrians were rarely seen on the road.
Mao Tongtong had already received a letter from the eighth master the day before, and he was ready to greet him.
She had planned to bring everyone in the house to the door to greet her. But it was too cold and it was snowing, so I had to give up. It's just that she is also absent-minded when she sits in Yile Garden. My heart was full of joy and apprehension.
I am glad that the eighth master has finally returned, and I am worried that I am finally going to confess to the eighth master.
Since he went to Hongdun, Zhang has been ill. After a continuous high fever, he lingered on the sickbed and never got out of bed again.
She went to see it a few times, and the good people were already thin and shapeless. Although Liu has been accompanying her and persuading her, her heart is like ashes, and it is difficult for her eyes to have a trace of waves.
Mao Tongtong knew that this was Zhang's heart knot. No one can help her unless she can get out on her own. Just like Guo Luo Luo, he uses dolls to express his feelings. In fact, it is also a deformed emotion, which shows that she did not accept the fact that Da Gege died psychologically.
Children are indeed like a part of a woman's life. Guo Luo Luo only knew that it was precious when he lost, while Zhang directly wanted his life.
If you continue to survive like Zhang's, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see next spring.
"Master, Lord Belle is back!"
Just when Mao Tongtong was thinking wildly, Wu Youcai outside the door rushed in excitedly.
"Really? Quick, make hot tea, let people prepare hot water, hot veils! Mao Tongtong immediately got up and said.
"E-niang, is Ama back?" The group playing on the side also came over.
"yes, Amma is coming back soon. You stay obediently, E-Niang will go to the gate of the courtyard to stay for a while. Mao Tongtong smiled and touched Hongwang's head.
This kind of joy from the heart made her whole person look bright.
"The master puts the big coat on, and waits for the slave to take the umbrella!" Qingzhu hurriedly stopped Mao Tongtong, who was leaving, "If you go out like this, Lord Belle should punish the slaves and maids!" ”
"Hurry up! It's coming! Mao Tongtong said anxiously.
In the past few years, she seems to have never been so eager to see the eighth master as she is today.
"Master, don't worry, even if Lord Baylor's feet are fast, they are not as fast as Gonggong Wu and them running all the way in." Qingmei smiled.
After putting on the big coat and hugging the hand stove, Mao Tongtong couldn't wait to rush out of the door. Qingzhu still trotted before catching up with her umbrella.
As soon as Mao Tongtong walked to the gate, he saw the snow-white eighth master.
"Oh, why don't you hold an umbrella!"
"Why did you come out on this cold day?"
The first sentence of the two was to blame each other, but they were full of concern. They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Come in, sir! Look at this snow, don't freeze. Mao Tongtong said.
"Hmm." The eighth master nodded, and took back the hand that he wanted to stretch out to hold Mao Tongtong. He will be cold all over his body, and he is afraid that he will freeze to the core.
When they entered the house, the minions were busy.
Those who play snow for the eighth master, change clothes, and wipe their faces and hands with hot handkerchiefs. Mao Tongtong was on the side, intervening from time to time to tidy up for the eighth master.
Hongwang looked at the eighth master with a curious expression. He hadn't seen the eighth master for two months, and he didn't have much impression anymore. Although he knew that it was Amma, it was because Mao Tongtong was always talking in his ear.
"I feel like Hongwang has grown a lot taller!" Eight Masters said.
"Yes! In the past six months, I have indeed gained a lot of height and lost weight. Obviously, the amount of food has increased, but the meat has not grown. Mao Tongtong smiled: "It's still cuter when I was a child." ”
"It's good to be tall. Boys just have to be tall! As long as you can eat, your body is strong, and it doesn't matter if you're fat or thin. The eighth master said: "What about Hongdun?" You should be very good at speaking, right? ”
Mao Tongtong had a smile on his face, and the hand that was tying the belt for the eighth master also stopped. She wanted to tell the eighth master the unfortunate news later. But now there is no escape.
"Master, Hongdun, Hongdun is gone."
"What?" The eighth master was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.
"Master, it's useless for me to save Hongdun this time." Mao Tongtong lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.
