It has been more than three months since the eighth master came down from the court. Whether officialdom is well-informed or ill-informed, this will also be known. As for the many speculations in everyone's hearts, Ming Mian naturally won't say it. Besides, after retiring from the eighth master, except for handing over the errand, the emperor doesn't seem to have the next move. Therefore, what is going on is also incomprehensible.

Everyone knows that the current governor of Sichuan is the eighth master's eldest brother, but the eighth master suddenly came to Sichuan and Shu with Fujin, which still made many people guess again. But no matter what you guess, since you know that the eighth master is coming, you still have to visit.

So the eighth master took Mao Tongtong to play for two days, and someone came to find the door.

The eighth master was first gone. After all, he doesn't even want to get involved in officialdom, what else is there to see? Besides, the officials on the Sichuan and Shu side have not had much contact. Fortunately, he lives in Mao Mingxuan's Governor's Palace, and he can resign.

It's just that there are too many excuses, and some people think of other ways. If you encounter something in a foreign country, it really affects your mood.

"Master, why don't you meet again and make your words clear." Mao Tongtong was a little annoyed.

They don't stay for a day or two, and if they are in this state for two months, they will really be depressed to death.

"The prince doesn't want to see it, so I'll come forward and say it." Mao Mingxuan pondered for a moment and said.

He can understand the eighth master. You said that you came down from the court to join your brother-in-law, and then let a group of officials meet you, what would this look like if it was spread to Beijing? I'm afraid that it will make people think of all kinds of things.

It's just that these people are all seeing the eighth master, and it's not easy for him to come forward. But this will see that his sister is annoyed, so he thought that he would get the approval of the eighth master, and he would come forward to solve it.

The eighth master thought for a while and said, "Well, it's better for you to come." I thought there were a lot of excuses, and they knew what it meant. It's a pity that there are not many people with smart brains, so they have to say it clearly. ”

"It's okay to have the word "Wangye." Mao Mingxuan nodded. After all, he is the supreme administrator of the territory of Sichuan and Shu. If no one listens to what he says, the governor has failed too much.

"Big brother, why don't we move out." Mao Tongtong said suddenly. Although the Governor's Mansion is Mao Mingxuan's residence, it is also a place for deliberations. They have to stay for a long time, and it's not good to be so bothered.

"What is this saying! There's no reason why I'm still here to move out! Mao Mingxuan was immediately unhappy.

He is such a sister, he has been an official for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been visited by his sister, lest there be a place where hospitality is not good, how can there be a reason to drive people out to live.

The eighth master said: "What Tongtong said is true. It's not a matter for us to live in the house, so let's go and rent a house. After all, more than two months is not a short time. ”

"Does the prince think that my governor's mansion is not good?" Mao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows.

"Big brother, that's not what I meant!" Mao Tongtong took the words, "I'm afraid of disturbing your office." After all, this is not your private residence, and we are not going to stay for a few days. ”

Mao Mingxuan pursed his lips and didn't speak, but he was obviously not very happy.

"I have to trouble my eldest brother about renting a house." The eighth master smiled and said: "It doesn't need to be too big, the courtyard of the three entrances, the key is that the environment should be good, and it will be convenient for us to come over." ”

Hearing this, Mao Mingxuan's expression looked better. He didn't want Mao Tongtong to move out, because he was afraid that she would play with herself after she moved out, and there would be fewer opportunities for the brother and sister to meet.

Mao Tongtong also understood, and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's best to be on the same street, so I'll walk two steps over!" ”

"Okay." Mao Mingxuan finally nodded, "Let me inquire." It's hot in summer, and many wealthy businessmen are moving their families to other places to escape the heat, and there are really a lot of empty houses. ”

"That's just right." Mao Tongtong said.

Mao Mingxuan's face showed a smile at this time.

On the second day, Mao Mingxuan called all his subordinates together for a meeting. Regardless of whether he had the heart to meet the eighth master or not, he said it. The eighth master came here to visit relatives and play, and he didn't want to get involved in officialdom. If anyone disturbs his interest, it will be more than worth the loss.

It won't be too stupid to be able to mix in officialdom, some of them didn't think so deeply, and now after Mao Mingxuan's reminder, Ma understood. After understanding this, he naturally wouldn't bother the eighth master again, so the first thing was done.

As for renting a house, the Governor said that there were many people who were willing to rent it. So within two days, the matter of the house was also settled, and it was on the street next door to the governor's palace, and it was less than half an hour to walk, and it was very close.

"Big brother, you're really efficient!" Mao Tongtong couldn't help but sigh.

Mao Mingxuan smiled and didn't speak. The eighth master said in his heart, your eldest brother is a governor anyway, and this little thing has to be done procrastinatingly, how can you do things for the court!

This house belonged to a grain merchant in the city. The big mansion of Sanjin, with pavilions and pavilions, also has the feeling of a Jiangnan courtyard. But it turned out that the grain merchant was from Suzhou.

Mao Tongtong likes it very much. Compared to the courtyard houses in the north, she prefers the delicate Jiangnan courtyard. Although the weather is getting hotter, looking at the surrounding environment can make people's hearts cool a little.

The eighth master is also quite satisfied, I didn't expect to be able to rent such a good house in a short time. If you live well, it will be good to return to Beijing after autumn.

So Mao Tongtong's family moved in.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the eighth master and Mao Tongtong no longer take the children out to play, afraid of the heat, so they stay in the house with peace of mind as if they are living an ordinary life, and take the children to the governor's mansion from time to time, and the days are also comfortable.

They are also slowly starting to get used to the diet here. Probably adapted to the climate here. Don't they all say that the eating habits of a place are actually related to the local climate? For example, people in Sichuan and Shu love to eat peppercorns, because this place is humid and miasma, and peppercorns are precisely to remove moisture. This is also why the people in the Sichuan and Shu realms eat numb and spicy all day long, but there is rarely fire.

Although Mao Tongtong and the others invited the cook to cook by themselves, when the body began to adapt to the climate here, and then ate spicy dishes, there was no fire, but they realized the deliciousness of the dishes here.

Especially the local red oil hot pot! This is completely different from the big bone soup pot in the capital. Butter and chili peppers, boiled red and bright, put in the pot and boil bubbling, smelling the spicy fragrance, people can't help but saliva.

Modern people's acceptance of Sichuan hot pot is quite high, and there will be large and small hot pot restaurants in every city. But for the ancient times when the transportation was not convenient, the red oil hot pot could not be seen in the capital thousands of miles away.

In the summer, the family is sweating profusely around the hot pot, which is a different kind of refreshing!
