Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 130 Chapter 132
Wei Shi is also looking at Mao Tongtong.

She was dressed in a moon-white flag dress, combed her hair, and only wore a simple magnolia flower hairpin on her head, which looked very elegant.

"You are the one who followed Eighth Brother to Chengde?" Wei Shi asked.

"It's a slave." Mao Tongtong replied.

Wei Shi said with a puzzled face: "You look so delicate and small, how can you save Eighth Brother from the water?"

Uh, the smile on Mao Tongtong's face was a bit awkward, how could she answer the conversation?Does it mean that she has used her prehistoric power?
"Hehe." She could only act shyly.

Seeing that she didn't ask for credit, but looked a little helpless, Wei Shi felt good about her.

"This is an old problem of mine, and it will be fine after ten days and a half months. I really don't need you to take care of the sick." Wei Shi said: "You can go back in a while. I heard from the eighth elder brother that you were injured after falling into the water. Body, go back and take care of it, don't get tired."

"That can't be done." Mao Tongtong said hastily: "The master specially asked the slave to come before he left. Besides, the slave is in good health, and has been taken care of long ago."

"It's really sincere." Wei Shi laughed.

"Hey." Mao Tongtong smiled.She doesn't dare to be perfunctory to Eighth Master, okay?But now it seems that the good master's first impression of her is still good.

"Then you stay and talk with me." Wei Shi said, "There are very few people in my palace."

In one sentence, expressed a little sadness.Looking at this beauty, Mao Tongtong couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

"Does the good master like to read the script? How about, the servants read the script to the good master?" Mao Tongtong suggested.After all, it was the first time they met, and if they really wanted to chat, she didn't know what to say.

"You can read?" Wei Shi was a little surprised.

"Yeah. I learned a little from my elder brother when I was at home, so it shouldn't be a problem to read a few words." Mao Tongtong said.At this time, she still knows how to be humble.

The maid serving on the side asked at this time: "What does the master want to hear?"

Wei Shi thought for a while, but shook his head and smiled: "I can't think of what to listen to for a while. Feel free."

The maid went out to find the storybook.

"If you know how to read, how about you know how to write?" Wei looked at Mao Tongtong and asked again.

"Well, the master is urging the servants to practice calligraphy." Mao Tongtong nodded.

"Oh? The eighth elder brother taught you how to write?" Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, looking very interested.

"The servant is stupid, the writing is not good, the master can't read it, so I asked the servant to practice more." Mao Tongtong lowered his eyes to hide a trace of depression in his eyes.

The smile in Wei Shi's eyes was even stronger.My own son knows it himself.Don't look at the eighth elder brother who is smiling to everyone, but there are few who really take his heart.It seems that this Mao family has caught the eyes of Eighth Prince.

"Master, I found a copy of "Snatching a Marriage." The maid who had just left came in, holding a thin book in her hand.

Mao Tongtong was a little curious, he had never heard of this name before.She thought it would be a famous script like "The Romance of the West Chamber" or "The Legend of the White Snake".

"Then read this." Wei Shi didn't read it at all.She just saved Mao Tongtong from being bored sitting here.And her own throat is uncomfortable, so she should not talk too much.

Mao Tongtong took the storybook from the court lady, opened it, and found that it was still a manuscript.She cleared her throat and began to read.

Wei Shi listened quite seriously, but coughed twice from time to time.

The maid serving at the side poured Mao Tongtong a glass of water, and then stood aside to wait.

While thinking about it, Mao Tongtong remembered many years ago, no, it should be said that it was in the modern day.His father died young, and his mother had to support her and her younger brother, and worked several jobs outside.Then she took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother.That's where her storytelling skills will develop.

In a flash, she has been in the Qing Dynasty for almost five years, and she doesn't know how her mother and younger brother are doing now.They will think of her often too.

"I'm a listener who hasn't cried yet, but you, a storyteller, are starting to cry." Wei suddenly said, laughing.

Only then did Mao Tongtong realize that he didn't know when he shed tears, so he quickly wiped them off with his hands, and said in embarrassment: "Slave, I think this woman is quite pitiful."

In the book, it is said that the heroine is waiting for her lover to return from the imperial examination so that he can be hired by his parents.But he didn't want to, the lover didn't come, but the parents wanted to send her to a powerful family to be a concubine.

This can be regarded as an old routine in romance stories.In the past, Mao Tongtong could always find a bunch of illogical things when he read them, and then laughed himself to death, without being sad at all.Today was just a good time to cover up what was in her heart.

Hearing what she said, Wei Shi had a smile on his face, but that smile was somewhat sad.

"No one in this world can control their own destiny. They can only passively obey forever."

Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, Wei Shi's words were like expressing the commonality of all ancient women.No matter what kind of status the woman is, whether it is an ordinary family, a high-ranking official, a wealthy family or a royal family.Women's lives are never their own.

"Ah, you continue, I just said something casually." Wei Shi also quickly recovered.She thought of herself.

"Oh, good." Mao Tongtong took a sip from the teacup, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and focused on the storybook again.

After reading for about half an hour, Wei fell asleep leaning against the bed, and Mao Tongtong stopped.

"Master has been coughing all night, and hardly slept much." The maid whispered.

Mao Tongtong nodded, and said silently: "I'll stay here and watch, you all go to rest too, I'll call you if something happens."

She just discovered that there are not many people serving Wei Shi, and all the maids are blue-eyed, and they haven't had a good rest for the past few days.Now let the palace maids take a rest, so that they can better serve Concubine Liang.

The maids did not refuse, two of them went out immediately, leaving two guarded in Wei's room with Mao Tongtong.

I don't know if the medicine had an effect, Wei Shi slept soundly this time, and didn't cough for more than an hour.Mao Tongtong was sitting by the bed bored, and could only pass the time by reading scripts.

It was like this until lunch time, Wei Shi still hadn't woken up.After Mao Tongtong thought about it, he still called Wei Shi a few times.

"Well, what time is it?" She asked confusedly.

"It's time for lunch, you'd better get up and eat some before going to sleep." Mao Tongtong said softly.

Only then did Wei opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "Have you been sitting here all this time?"

"The servant is reading the storybook." Mao Tongtong laughed.

Wei Shi smiled slightly, and was about to sit up on the bed, Mao Tongtong hurriedly helped her up and leaned against her.

"Let's go back after lunch later." Wei Shi said.

Mao Tongtong was about to speak, when Wei continued: "If you are afraid that the eighth elder brother will come back and tell you, come and read the storybook to me every morning."
