Chapter 987: Self-deception
I acted a lot, and I really made myself believe it. But if you don't deceive yourself, how can you live this life? Chen Ruyu smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart, but her face was full of emotion, and her eyes even had tears.
"Master, this, this is what you said!" Her voice was shaking, as if she would cry the next moment.
"It's Lonely." The prince stretched out his hand to touch Chen Ruyu's cheek, and said softly: "Lone is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult to chase after a horse, and Lone will not break his word!" ”
Chen Ruyu came out of the prince's arms and saluted very solemnly, "The slave and maid are His Royal Highness the Prince of Ergegexie!" ”
"Hegu is so polite!" The prince dragged Chen Ruyu's arm and said, "Ergege is also an orphan child!" Lone will naturally plan for her! ”
"Then I should be thankful too!" Chen Ruyu said stubbornly: "The slave knows how great this grace is!" The lord is good to the slave and the mother and daughter, and the slave and the maid remember it in their hearts! ”
"Lone knows! I know it. The prince took her back into his arms.
Chen Ruyu leaned on the prince's shoulder, and a slight smile curled up on her lips.
On the second day, Mao Tongtong met Chen at Yee Lok Yuan. Mao didn't come because he didn't rest.
The mother and daughter actually met not long ago, but the mood of this meeting was different.
As soon as Chen saw Mao Tongtong, he pulled her from top to bottom to look.
"Eniang, I've only been around for more than a month, and I can't see anything!" Mao Tongtong couldn't help laughing.
Chen looked at Mao Tongtong and smiled: "But E-Niang always thinks that you are different today." ”
"Eniang, that's because you're in a different mood, so I feel different." Mao Tongtong pulled Chen to sit down.
"When the eighth master came to say it yesterday, I really couldn't believe it, and I thought I heard it wrong." Chen smiled: "After looking forward to it for a few years, you finally have a move." This time, E-Niang can accompany you well. ”
"yes, there's finally movement." Mao Tongtong smiled: "That's what everyone says. They seem to be more anxious than me! ”
"How can you not be in a hurry. You've been in the house for so long, and you've always been favored, and you only have one son under your knee who is easy to gossip. Chen said.
She was under this kind of pressure back then. After giving birth to two children, Mao Mingxuan and Mao Tongtong, she has not given birth for many years. Mao Chengyun insisted on not accepting concubines. The Mao family has nothing to say. Fortunately, they were far away, and the family over there said that they were talking, but they couldn't control it. Fortunately, it was Mao who carried the hard spirit, which protected her for many years.
But Mao Tongtong's pressure is different, there is a good concubine in the palace, she is not a wife, and if she continues to delay like this, it is possible to fall out of favor. That's why she's always worried.
"Whoever gossips goes." Mao Tongtong said indifferently: "The woman she said seems to be a tool for giving birth, yes." If I can raise Hongwang well and cultivate talents, isn't it the same! ”
"That's what I said. But when people live in this world, they will inevitably be criticized. What a terrible thing to say! You say you don't care, but sometimes it's hurtful. Chen said.
Mao Tongtong also knew some things about Chen's back then. For her gentle temperament, her heart is not strong enough to ignore the eyes of others.
"Okay, Eniang, it's rare for you to come, let's say something happy." Mao Tongtong changed the topic and said, "I am happy that you can come to live here!" ”
"Yes! The eighth master was very thoughtful. He really doesn't have to say anything about your heart. Chen said.
"What about Amma?" Mao Tongtong asked, "You come to stay, is he home alone?" ”
The fact that the Chen family can come to live is already considered the grace of the eighth master. It is impossible for Mao to carry a foreign man to come and live together.
"Let Amma be home alone. It's not far away, and you can talk about anything at any time. Chen said.
Now Mao Tongtong is the most important thing, and she can't take care of Mao Carrier.
"Then Ama wants to blame me for snatching Eniang away!" Mao Tongtong said with a smile.
"You Amma won't!" Chen smiled: "As soon as I heard that I could come to the house to accompany you yesterday, he was more active than me, so let me pack my things quickly!" I said that the eighth master hasn't set a date for leaving yet, and it's too early to pack up now! ”
"E-niang, you guys are so good to me." Mao Tongtong was quite moved.
Mao Chengyun and Chen have always loved her. This love not only accompanied her through the confusion and fear when she first came to the Qing Dynasty, but also gave her a sense of belonging in this strange time and space.
"Silly boy again. Isn't it right to be good to children as Ama and Eniang? Chan smiled lovingly.
The eighth master was not in the house all day today, I don't know if he was really busy, or if he deliberately left his time for Mao Tongtong and Chen. I didn't come back until it was almost dinner.
"How is Tongtong doing today?" The eighth master asked when he entered the door. Seeing Mao Tongtong vomit that day made him feel palpitations all the time.
"It's okay today, I didn't throw up!" Mao Tongtong said with a smile.
"That's good." The eighth master nodded, and asked again, "Then your appetite is okay?" ”
"It's okay." Mao Tongtong said: "My mother is here today, staring at me and eating a lot." ”
"It seems that I am still in a good mood, and my body's reaction is lighter." Eight Masters said.
"Perhaps." Mao Tongtong said with a smile. She talked a lot to Chen today, and she couldn't remember any discomfort in her body.
"If you like it, let your mother come often." Eight Masters said.
"It's getting hotter and hotter, and E-Niang is tired of running back and forth like this." Mao Tongtong said, "Actually, I want to go back." ”
"You should stay in the mansion for Ye An's share now. I have to talk about it after the first three months. "The eighth master said.
Mao Tongtong pouted, "I knew that the master would say that." ”
"The master will leave in a few days, and when the time comes, with your mother, the master can rest assured." Eight Masters said.
"Leave in a few days? So early this year? Mao Tongtong was a little surprised.
In previous years, I went to Chengde for a period of time after the Dragon Boat Festival, or even before the ambush. This year, that's a lot ahead of schedule!
"Well, I'll leave after the Dragon Boat Festival. The Emperor Ama was appointed in the early court today. "The eighth master said.
"Will you come back sooner?" Mao Tongtong asked.
The eighth master shook his head, "Huang Ama didn't say it. I always feel that there will be other arrangements this year. ”
"No matter how late it is, I always have to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Mao Tongtong said. By that time, she was more than four months pregnant, and she was already pregnant.
"Hmm." The eighth master nodded, "I guessed that there were other arrangements, so maybe there was nothing wrong." ”
"Then I'll have someone pack up my things tomorrow." Mao Tongtong thought for a while, and then said, "This time, let Yang Gege and Tong Gege go with him to serve the master." ”
The time to stay in Chengde is not short, as little as one month, as much as two months. She definitely can't go now, so she has to arrange someone to serve her. You can't let the eighth master go alone.
