Chapter 14
"That's not true! Speaking of which, I haven't been to Beijing for several years." Chen laughed, then turned to Mao Tongtong and said, "This is Uncle Chen, the housekeeper of your third uncle. You saw it when you were young. This I'm afraid I won't remember."

"Chen Bohao." Mao Tongtong smiled slightly, it's no wonder she could remember, she only wore it three years ago!Although there are some memories of the heroine, there is no impression of this kind of person who has only met a few times.

"This old servant has met the elder sister." Uncle Chen said with a smile.

"Uncle Chen, according to the ranking, it should be called Sanjie." Mrs. Chen corrected from the side.

It was also a coincidence that neither of her concubine brothers had daughters, and only she and her own brother had daughters.The third brother gave birth to two daughters, both older than Mao Tongtong.Therefore, Mao Tongtong should be ranked third.

"Ah, yes. This old slave is confused." Uncle Chen said with a smile, "I always think that the daughter born to the eldest lady should be called eldest sister."

"Have the mothers from the palace been invited?" Chen asked, this was what she was thinking of sending Mao Tongtong to Beijing.

Yangzhou is far away from the capital, and Mao Chengyun is only a fifth-rank official. How can he find a good nanny to teach Mao Tongtong the rules.In addition, she and Mao Chengyun love Mao Tongtong very much, and they are reluctant to hold her.So Mao Tongtong is 14 years old and knows almost nothing about the rules in the palace.

"The third master has already invited you. I heard that he was serving in the palace when the first emperor. Now that he is old and out of the palace, he wanted to go home and join his brother. But the sister-in-law is not good, so I want to match her for money In a fit of rage, she simply came out to live alone, and began to teach outside to earn living expenses. Because she taught well, she was famous, and now she has to be booked! The third master also asked for a relationship and paid a high price to invite her back It is said that the class will start in three days, and the third sister will come at the right time!" Uncle Chen spoke in detail, explaining clearly what Mrs. Chen wanted to hear.

"That's good. My third sister is used to being wild. There is only one year left before the draft, so if you don't study hard, you might make a fool of yourself." Mrs. Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew exactly how much her daughter weighed.After all, my younger brother is an official in the capital, so the family must be more polite.The two daughters must know some rules.If Tongtong learns from Mammy earlier than her family, then after Tongtong passes by, the gap will be even wider.In that case, it is not good to fear that her daughter will be looked down upon by others, or she will feel inferior because of it.

In the end, she still felt sorry for Mao Tongtong, fearing that she would suffer even the slightest grievance.

While speaking, he arrived in front of the carriage. Uncle Chen first helped Mrs. Chen and Mao Tongtong into the carriage, and then asked people to help carry the luggage into a carriage that came behind, and the group headed for the capital.

In Chen Junjie's mansion in the capital, he, Fujin Su, was talking to his two daughters.

"Uncle Chen has already gone to pick up your third younger sister. I guess she will arrive in the next two days. She is a guest from afar, and it is her first time in Beijing. You sisters should take care of each other. When Mammy Ai comes, let's learn together." Rules. In the coming year, you will be drafted in the palace, and you sisters can still have someone to take care of you."

"Er Niang, where does the third sister come to live? Is it the same yard as my eldest sister and me? Our yard will be crowded if there are more people living there." A fourteen or fifteen year old girl with delicate features leaned on Su's arm, tenderly soundtrack.

This is Chen Ruyu, the second daughter of Mao Tongtong's third uncle.It is said that they are older than Mao Tongtong, but in fact they are only two months older. Both of them are 14 years old this year.

"The third younger sister is unfamiliar with her place of life, so she lives in the same yard as us, so she can take care of her. Besides, the sisters live together and it's very lively. It's crowded everywhere."

The one who spoke was Chen Ruzhu, the eldest daughter of Mao Tongtong's third uncle.Although she is only one year older than Chen Ruyu, she looks demure and gentle, with a dignified temperament.

"Big sister!" Chen Ruyu called out in protest, "It's fine to let her live, but don't let me move the room!"

"Is this how you treat guests?" Su frowned and said, "That's your third sister. Since your aunt sent her to Beijing, we naturally have to take care of her. If you don't say welcome, why do you still want to drive her away?" look!"

"What aunt, I don't remember." Chen Ruyu pursed her lips and said, "Isn't it because you want to come here for free, to borrow our family's light!"

"Ruyu!" Su sternly yelled, "Your Ama really spoiled you! That's your aunt, your cousin! Your aunt's annual gift has never lacked your favorite pine nut candy! Eat it! Forgot all about it?"

Chen Ruyu just lowered her head and said nothing.

Su said with a serious face now: "Listen to me, both of you! Although your Ama is said to have four siblings in your family, your Ama and your aunt are the real siblings! If you Ama Knowing that I have neglected my cousin and made him angry, I will not plead for you!"

"Er Niang, don't be angry, my sister won't say that when she sees her cousin. They are about the same age, so they will play together soon." Chen Ruzhu persuaded with a smile on the side.

"For you, Er Niang is naturally relieved!" Su Shi glanced at Chen Ruyu helplessly, and said, "I am worried about your sister. When the time comes, you should look at her. They are all from your own family, and they are making people laugh if they don't look like they are making trouble. , and made your aunt feel cold."

Mrs. Su is teaching her daughter here, and Mrs. Chen is also teaching Mao Tongtong.

"Get along well with your two cousins. If Erniang is not by your side, put away your little temper and don't be willful. Build a good relationship, and you can have someone to take care of you when you enter the palace for draft."

"Er Niang, you've been talking all the time! My ears are almost callused!" Mao Tongtong glanced at Chen Shi speechlessly.

Along the way, Mrs. Chen was like chanting scriptures.She can recite these few words.

"Hey, when things come to an end, I regret it a bit." Chen said with a sigh.My daughter has never left home since she grew up. Can she really live well this year?
Mao Tongtong's eyes lit up immediately, and said: "Er Niang, let's go back after staying for a few days! Just treat it as a trip to the capital!"

Seeing her excited look, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but tapped her forehead with her hand, and said with a smile, "You think so beautifully! That's what Er Niang said! This year, you will live in Beijing for me. Wait until next year's draft is over. , Er Niang will come to pick you up!"

Mao Tongtong's face fell instantly, and he answered listlessly.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly comforted: "Your uncle and aunt are very kind people. The two cousins ​​are about the same age as you, and this year will pass quickly! Besides, you can still write letters to Erniang!"

Mao Tongtong knew that Mrs. Chen was also sad, so she raised her head and said with a smile: "Er Niang, don't worry, I can make myself happy wherever I go, your daughter!"

She can adapt to traveling through 300 years, let alone living in her uncle's house for a year!
Hearing what she said, Chen's face was obviously relaxed, and a smile appeared.
