Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 111 Keeping the Promise
"Tenth brother, you are wayward." Eighth Master said.

"Brother, I already know I was wrong." Master Shi lowered his head and said sullenly.

"You said Mao's Ama would rather not be promoted, just to send a letter?" Eighth Master asked.

"That's right! My fourth brother and I are very surprised that there are such people in the world! He has been a fifth-rank official for eight years! Such a good opportunity is in front of him and he doesn't know how to take advantage of it. How stupid!" Ten Lord said.

"Could it be a long line to catch big fish?" Jiu Ye said from the side.

"What do you mean?" Master Shi was bewildered.

But Ba Ye nodded and said, "I can't say for sure."

Master Shi looked at the two of them, and only belatedly heard what they were talking about.

"No, he's not like that kind of person!" Master Shi waved his hand.

"You know him very well?" Master Jiu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you just meet him twice or three times?"

"I just don't think so!" Master Shi said, poking his neck.

When Ba Ye saw him like this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "It seems that the tenth brother has a really good impression of him, and this will be maintained."

"Brother, you haven't seen that person, you are really upright." Master Shi said.

Ba Ye and Jiu Ye looked at each other, and then at Shi Ye, both of them couldn't help laughing.I am the most upright person, yet I actually say that others are upright.

"Really, ask fourth brother if you don't believe me!" Master Shi said depressedly.

"Okay, it's too early to draw conclusions about what kind of person he is. We'll talk about it later when we have a chance." Baye said, ending the topic.As for the letter, he believed that fourth master would send it over.

In the evening, fourth master really came.

"I promised her, Ama, that I would hand over the letter to her." Fourth Master said.

"Fourth brother, she is my Gege." Ba Ye smiled slightly, and did not intend to ask Mao Tongtong to come out.

"Eighth brother, I can't break my promise." Fourth Master smiled lightly, but he didn't intend to give the letter to Eighth Master.

Eighth Master originally planned to take the letter over and read it first.He and Master Jiu had the same idea, how could a fool who sent a letter be exchanged for a promotion in the world?This exchange is too unequal.It's just that looking at Si Ye's appearance now, I believe that I have to teach Mao Tongtong personally.

"The fourth brother wait a moment, I'll send someone to call for it right away." The smile on Ba Ye's face remained unchanged.

Fourth master nodded, sat down and drank tea slowly.

Mao Tongtong is waiting for the eighth master to call.Because in the past at this time, it was usually the time when Eighth Master asked her to eat.Now she has to wait for Ba Ye's letter before she dares to eat.Otherwise, this master will not be happy.

Seeing the little eunuch from Ba Ye's side come over, Mao Tongtong was overjoyed.She didn't have much lunch today, so she's already hungry.I put two pieces of snacks, after all, it is sweet and not enough to satisfy my hunger.

"Mao Gege, my master told you to pass this time." The little eunuch said.

"Okay, I see, let's go now." Mao Tongtong responded very readily.It's finally time to eat, it's not easy!
She entered the eighth master's room with a happy face, and saw that the fourth master was drinking tea, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted.

"I ran into you, Ama, when I went to Yangzhou this time. This is a letter from him to your family." Fourth master is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, so he just took out the letter.

Mao Tongtong looked at fourth master blankly.What kind of situation is this? Why can't I understand?Met her Ama by chance?Letters from home?
She stared blankly at fourth master with a pair of big eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable looking at fourth master who was always expressionless.

"Cough." Eighth Master cleared his throat.

Mao Tongtong suddenly came back to look at Ba Ye, and heard him say: "Didn't you say you were homesick, now that the letter from home came, why didn't you answer it?"

"Slave, slave girl, this, is this really a family letter?" Mao Tongtong stammered, his face full of disbelief.

"It seems that I am happy and silly." Eighth Master looked at Fourth Master and smiled.

Fourth Master also smiled, reached out and handed the letter to Mao Tongtong again, and said, "Take it, your Ama's love for daughters is rare."

Only then did Mao Tongtong take the letter from Fourth Master in a daze, forgetting to even say thank you, pinching the thick envelope in her hand, looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, her eyes turned red, and a layer of mist suddenly blurred out of sight.

"Eighth brother, the letter has been delivered, so I'll take my leave first." Fourth master got up, he didn't want to see his little brother crying here.

Eighth Master also knew why Fourth Master was in a hurry to leave, so he quickly got up and said, "Then I won't send Fourth Brother off."

Mao Tongtong touched the letter, but didn't realize that fourth master had left.

"Why don't you see what your Ama wrote?" Eighth Master said.

"It was written by my brother." Mao Tongtong finally spoke, tears were already falling.

Ba Ye took a look at the words on the envelope, and sure enough, the writing was not bad.Thinking that the garrison is a military officer, it is rare to write such a good handwriting.

"Slave, I want to take it back to read." Mao Tongtong said.

She is not in the mood to ask how the fourth master brought the letter to her now, she just wants to go back quickly, hide in the room alone, and read the letter quietly.

Ba Ye wanted to let her watch it here so that he could watch it together.But seeing Mao Tongtong's pitiful appearance with tears in his eyes, he nodded his head as soon as his heart softened.

"Thank you, master." Mao Tongtong walked out quickly with the letter in his hand.

Ba Ye didn't even have time to tell her to come over for dinner after reading the letter.

It was Qingzhu who accompanied Mao Tongtong to the courtyard of the eighth master. Once the master and servant returned to the house, Qingmei saw her face full of tears, and suddenly looked at Qingzhu in surprise.The latter shook his head slightly, stepped forward and pulled her out of the room, leaving only Mao Tongtong alone.

"What's wrong with Ge Ge?" Qingmei asked in a low voice.

"I got a letter from home, I'm so excited." Qingzhu said.

"Ah? Where did it come from? Gege's family is so powerful? The letters have all been sent to Chengde?" Qingmei's eyes widened.

"The fourth elder brother brought it back from Yangzhou." Qingzhu said.

Qingmei was even more confused when she heard it, and felt that it was not simple, and was about to ask again, Qingzhu said again: "Gege didn't ask what was going on, and came back with the letter. You, don't inquire about it. There are some things, I know Too much is not good."

Qingmei stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll ask you too."

In the room, Mao Tongtong held the letter, but didn't open it for a long time.Just touching the words on the envelope over and over again, the tears couldn't stop falling down.

She has always felt that she is a person with strong adaptability and a strong heart.Unexpectedly, a letter made her burst into tears, unable to control her emotions.

After a long time, she slowly calmed down and carefully opened the envelope.

The letter and the bank note fell out together, Mao Tongtong looked at the large denomination bank note, and his eyes became hot again.

What's the situation at home, she doesn't know.I'm afraid half of this money is borrowed!Although she is separated from her family, they still miss her in their hearts.
