Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 11 Undercurrent
Naturally, Chen Guo wouldn't embarrass the shopkeeper, so she turned and went upstairs with a blank expression.I just said something dissatisfied in my heart, I don't know what is good or bad.

In the private room on the second floor, Ba Ye was sitting at the table by the window, watching the scenery outside the window and drinking tea slowly.There was still a table of untouched meals on the table.

Chen Guo pushed the door and went in, walked past the two guards guarding the door and came to Ba Ye, and whispered: "Master, they are all gone, say yes, say they lost interest."

There was a faint smile on Ba Ye's face, and he said, "It's a bit arrogant. It's a pity."

Chen Guo couldn't understand what this meant, but she clearly felt that her master was not angry.

"Let's go too, this day is leisurely enough." Ba Ye put down his teacup and got up.

Chen Guo went out to pay the bill first.The shopkeeper told him that someone had already tied the knot.He naturally went back to report to Ba Ye.

"Well, I got it." Ba Ye was not surprised at all, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the night scene again. We should be busy tomorrow."

Chen Guo agreed and followed.

In the early spring evening, there were not many people on the street.There was a chill in the evening wind.Ba Ye took Chen Guo to walk on the street, but arranged the two guards somewhere.

Walking to a corner of the street, Ba Ye suddenly stopped and turned around, and saw a figure flashing not far behind him, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It took a lot of effort to send two groups of people to follow him.If there is no problem here, ghosts will not believe it!This is a typical guilty conscience!I believe the people he sent out tonight will be able to find out.

After wandering around in a random circle on the street, Eighth Master Shi Shi ran back to the prefect's yamen.

"Did Master Ba enjoy playing today?" The magistrate of Yangzhou actually greeted him at the door in person.

Ba Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with a half-smile: "You sent someone to follow me?"

"My minister saw that you only took three people out, and I was afraid of making a mistake and disturbing your interest in playing, so I just let people follow quietly." The magistrate of Yangzhou accompanied him with a smile.

"So, today's dinner is also paid by your people?" Eighth Master asked.

"Yes. You have come to Yangzhou, so naturally you should be taken care of by an official."

Seeing the flattering smile on his face, Ba Ye felt a little bored in his heart.A gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "You have a heart. I'm tired from playing today, so I'm going back to rest."

"Then I won't bother you." The magistrate of Yangzhou tactfully retreated to the side and sent off Ba Ye respectfully.

He waited until Ba Ye had disappeared before he asked, "Where did the two guards who have been following Ba Ye go?"

"My lord, please forgive me, the little one, I lost the little one." Someone came out from the secret and replied.

"Useless stuff!" The magistrate of Yangzhou had lost his smile long ago, and put on a serious expression, saying, "Go and send someone to look for it!"

"Yes!" The man responded and backed away.

At this time, on Zhang's merchant ship, Mao Tongtong was standing on the deck boredly watching the last rays of the setting sun in the sky being swallowed up by the night, and the houses of the people living on the shore began to light up the lights little by little.

"Girl, it's windy at night, let's go in." Taohua took out a cloak and put it on Mao Tongtong.

"Is Mrs. Zhang leaving?" She asked without looking back.

"Not yet." Taohua replied truthfully.

"Then don't go back." Mao Tongtong said depressedly.

This Mrs. Zhang doesn't know how she can say that, every morning, lunch and evening, just like three meals a day, she must come to report.Talking to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, seemed to be afraid that her mother-in-law would be bored.

If she was there, Mrs. Zhang could always bring the topic to her and say a few words.She was really tired of listening to it, so now and then she would find an excuse to quit, and go back after she left.

Zhang Sirui never came to look for her after being angry with her that time.Sometimes even if we met on the deck, we just looked at each other without saying a word.

She is still very satisfied with the result.If you don't speculate, you don't want to talk too much, and you don't want to talk too much with this kind of person.

In the past two days, she also heard some clues from the chat between Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang. It turned out that Zhang Sirui was going to marry in Beijing.The other party's family seems to be still a Beijing official.No wonder Zhang Sirui is so proud!It is indeed worthy of her happiness that the merchant girl can have this kind of marriage.

But Mao Tongtong said, with Zhang Sirui's temperament, I really don't know if I can live well after marrying.Moreover, an official who can marry a businessman's daughter-in-law is probably not of high grade.

As a modern person, of course she doesn't mean to discriminate against business girls.It's just that in ancient times, the general environment is like this, and no one can change it.

Standing on the deck alone, thinking wildly, watching more and more shining stars in the night sky, she suddenly missed her Ama and her eldest brother.

When she first passed through, because she had just suffered a serious illness, her eldest brother Mao Mingxuan was very nervous about her.She was afraid that she would disappear if she made a mistake, and spent almost all of her free time with her.

What the brothers and sisters did most at that time was to sit together in her small courtyard at night and watch the stars.

Mao Tongtong had only seen such bright stars in his hometown when he was a child.Later, when I entered the city, it was rare to see tall buildings everywhere.

Mao Chengyun also thought of ways to make her happy every day.Every day when I come back from work, I always bring her some gadgets.Sometimes it's a bag of snacks, sometimes it's a small toy.

It was this family's care for her that made her gradually eliminate the fear she had when she first came to this world.

I don't know that she and Er Niang have been away for so many days, it's good for Ama and elder brother to be at home, but I miss them.

Two men are at home and no woman is in charge, which is always worrying.

So, the Mao family really treasured her daughter.Some families sent their daughters to Beijing, but only let the capable housekeeper or nanny escort them, and the head mother had to stay at home.

"What do you think?"

Chen didn't know when she came out.

Mao Tongtong looked back at the concerned expression on her face, and said with a quick smile: "My daughter is wondering if the snacks in the capital are as exquisite as our Yangzhou city's. How lively is it at the feet of the emperor?"

Mrs. Chen laughed when she heard this, and said: "The emperor's feet are naturally prosperous. Er Niang has been in Beijing for many years. But this snack, you will know when you go."

"From Er Niang's words, obviously the snacks are not very good." Mao Tongtong curled his lips.

Mrs. Chen laughed, and told her what she had seen and heard in the capital.Mao Tongtong listened carefully, and the little melancholy in his heart gradually dissipated.

Chen looked at her eyes that were shining in the night, and the smile on her face became softer.Where did she see the slight sadness in her daughter's eyes.She didn't miss her husband and son at home.

It's just that if she also showed it, the mother and daughter would hug and cry.So, it's better to talk about something else to distract your attention.
