Chapter 102 Mother and Daughter Connecting Hearts
"How can you not worry." Chen sighed.

"Well, our daughter will be blessed." Mao Chengyun patted her hand.

Mrs. Chen has been blaming herself ever since she came back from the capital.If it weren't for her greed, how could she have ruined her daughter for the rest of her life.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.Although the daughter didn't enter the palace to serve the emperor, she was almost the same.Both Mao Chengyun and Mao Mingxuan comforted her, saying that they would have a chance to see Mao Tongtong in the future.But she also knew in her heart that such an opportunity was too difficult.

They are in Yangzhou, and Tongtong is far away in the capital. Not to mention the distance, the difference in status is also huge.Meet, easier said than done!

Seeing the concerned faces of the father and son, Mrs. Chen forced a smile and said, "Okay, don't talk, don't talk. Let's eat."

Mao Mingxuan and Mao Chengyun looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness and worry in each other's eyes.

The slightly sad atmosphere at the dinner table also affected the family's interest in talking after the meal.Mao Mingxuan resigned first.

On the way back to the house, Mao Mingxuan looked up at the sky. A round of bright moon was hanging on the black sky, and the somewhat deserted moonlight made people feel even more sad.

He still remembered that before Mao Tongtong left Yangzhou, the brother and sister talked under the moonlight like this.He rubbed Mao Tongtong's head as usual, she let him obediently, and then watched him tidy her hair with a smile.

Time flies so fast, more than a year has passed in a flash.Mao Mingxuan looked at his palm, he could no longer rub his sister's head.Even if we meet in the future, she will already belong to Eighth Master, not just his younger sister.

Without Mao Tongtong, the Garrison Mansion seemed to be deserted.He would visit her boudoir from time to time.All the decorations are still the same as when she was there, but people don't know when they will meet again.

"Master, it's late at night." The servant at the side reminded Mao Mingxuan.

"En." Mao Mingxuan withdrew his thoughts, and then returned to his room.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Chen was wiping tears again.

"You, my heart hurts from crying." Mao Chengyun said with his arms around her.

Whenever this time, he felt uncomfortable.There are only a few words of comfort.The more I said, the weaker I was.

"It's also true that I don't live up to expectations. So far, I am only a fifth-rank official." Mao Chengyun smiled wryly.

Even if he is a Beijing official, he might still have a chance to meet his daughter!Or it would be nice to send a letter.

"It's all the concubine's fault, it has nothing to do with the master." Chen choked up.

"You always cry like this, and you hurt your eyes carefully." Mao Chengyun gently wiped her tears, and said, "Tongtong should say that I bullied you now that she knows."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing.

Before Mao Tongtong was at home, if Mao Chengyun got angry sometimes and spoke louder to Mrs. Chen, she would accuse him of bullying Mrs. Chen.

Mao Chengyun, a stout man, just couldn't resist his own delicate daughter.As long as Mao Tongtong opened his mouth, he would immediately apologize.Mrs. Chen is very caring every time.

"Master, let's write a letter to Tongtong." Chen said with tears in her eyes, "Even if you marry into the royal family, you won't lose contact with your family! If you can't meet each other, communication is always possible."

"Let's talk about it later when the eighth master leaves the palace to build a mansion. Now that Tongtong is in the palace, how can this letter be sent in?" Mao Chengyun said.

"I've always felt uneasy these two days. I was still dreaming a while ago, dreaming that something happened to Tongtong, and she was lying on the bed and calling me." Chen said.

"You're thinking about it day and night, and Tongtong will be fine. She lives in the palace, and there is no one in the backyard of Ba Ye, so what can happen." Mao Chengyun comforted.

"I hope so." Chen Shi said.

How about mother and daughter connecting hearts!The night Chen had a dream was the day Mao Tongtong fell into the water and rescued Ba Ye.

Besides, Fourth Master and Tenth Master, after resting, they called Fang Zhifu directly and explained their purpose.

Fang Zhifu was very surprised. This year, he checked last year's taxes. Is this because the emperor has doubts?However, there is nothing to be afraid of.The accounts are all done seamlessly, and you can check them as you like.

"Weichen will ask someone to bring the records and account book to the two elder brothers."

"Let's have someone move it to the main room here. Master and tenth brother can see for themselves." Fourth Master said.

"Okay, I will do it now." Fang Zhifu responded very readily.Seeing that these two masters are very young, I don't know if they can understand or not.

When Fang Zhifu left, Master Shi made a bitter face, looked at Fourth Master and said, "Fourth Brother, just the two of us to watch? Can you understand?"

"Since we are here to investigate, you are here to see. If you let his people see, can you see the problem?" Fourth Master glanced at him.

"Yes, but I won't!" Shi Ye said.

"Study if you don't know how to do it," said the fourth master.

Master Shi pursed his lips, he didn't want to learn at all.But the fourth master has opened his mouth, he has to learn if he doesn't learn.

Fang Zhifu came very quickly.Behind him were two subordinates, each holding a large stack of ledgers.

Master Shi was dizzy when he saw it.This depends on the year of the monkey?
"Can they all be categorized?" Fourth Master asked.

"Yes, yes. Various taxes are separated." Fang Zhifu laughed.

Fourth Master nodded and said, "Then move in. Don't bother us from now on, just deliver three meals a day on time. If necessary, Master will come to you again."

"Yes." Fang Zhifu replied.

Fourth master entered the room first, and said without looking back: "Tenth brother, come in."

The tenth master wanted to dawdle for a while, but when the fourth master called, he had no choice but to follow in dejectedly.

Fang Zhifu asked people to put down the things and left.He will not be worried now.These two elder brothers don't seem to know their way at all, hoping to find out the problem by relying on this, the sun has to come out from the west.

The main room that was temporarily used as a study by fourth master was full of ledgers.The tenth master frowned as soon as he entered, but the fourth master had already picked up a book and looked through it.

"This is the merchant's tax, you should read this first." Fourth Master pointed to the tall stack next to Tenth Master.

"Fourth brother, you have to teach me how to look at it?" Shi Ye said, with a look of resignation.

"Correspond according to the tax standard of the imperial court, to see if their tax is in line with the reality, and whether it is in line with the money handed over to the treasury." Fourth Master explained briefly.

"That's it?" Master Shi thought it was quite simple.

"Well, let's look at it this way first." Fourth Master didn't elaborate.

Master Shi took a book and began to read it.

It was the first time he came into contact with these things, so he read them very slowly. From time to time, he used his own abacus to do some calculations.

Fourth master was much faster, almost flipping through page after page, finishing a book in a short while.

"Fourth brother, don't you even do the calculations? It's too fast!" Master Shi looked suspicious.

It is said that the fourth brother is the most serious in his work, so why does he feel perfunctory today.
