Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 15 Entering Beijing

"Chen Guo, tidy up the things on the desk, don't leave a single piece of paper behind!" Eighth Master ordered with a serious face.

"Yes." Chen Guo quickly and carefully cleaned up the desk.

The master's effort this time is all on the book case, even if he is urgently recalled to Beijing now, he won't need it anymore.But it might come in handy someday.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house. When Ba Ye heard it, he knew that the two guards he had sent had returned.

"Come in."

The door was opened silently, and two people in night suits flashed in quickly.

"Master, today's harvest is not small! The servants found the account book!" One of them said with a happy face.

Ba Ye's face was also happy, and he hurriedly said: "It's hard work!"

After taking the ledger handed over by the guard, Ba Ye flipped through it and wanted to pat the table angrily.But thinking about the imperial decree received today, the whole person became cold.

"Master, with this, we have conclusive evidence!" The guard said happily before he noticed that Master Ba's expression was wrong.

Chen Guo winked at the side, but unfortunately the two of them didn't see it.

"En." Eighth Master responded, and said: "You have worked hard these days. The emperor ordered us to return to Beijing immediately. I will present this account book to the emperor."

"Back to Beijing?!" The two guards looked at each other, both looking at each other in surprise.

That's not what I said when I first came here!Now seeing that the work is done, he recalled Ba Ye back to Beijing!What does this mean?If so, is it still meaningful to submit the ledger?

"Okay, it's getting late at night, you guys should go back and rest too. We're leaving early tomorrow morning." Eighth Master said with a smile.

"My master also rests earlier." The two sighed in their hearts, but they also replied with a smile.

Don't tell the master what you know well.

Only Ba Ye and Chen Guo were left in the study.

"Put it together! Put it away!" Ba Ye threw the ledger to Chen Guo.

"Yes, master." Chen Guo took it and put it into a sandalwood box together with a stack of papers on the desk.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was only slightly bright, Ba Ye called out.

Quickly tidy up and eat breakfast, Eighth Master sent someone to notify the prefect of Yangzhou.

Anyway, I lived in someone's house for many days, and I always only said goodbye.

"Oh, why did the eighth master leave so suddenly?" The magistrate of Yangzhou looked surprised and terrified, "Is it because I didn't entertain you well?"

"I'm very satisfied with my stay." Ba Ye said with a light smile, "It's just that I have been in Yangzhou for a long time, and it's time to return to Beijing."

"Baye is going back to Beijing?" Yangzhou magistrate was taken aback, and said: "The boat has been arranged? Do you want me to be a humble minister?"

"No need!" Eighth Master interrupted: "It's already been arranged."

The magistrate of Yangzhou laughed and said: "Then I will send Ba Ye to the pier."

"No need. You still have official business in the yamen, so you don't need to send it." Eighth Master smiled and refused again.

The magistrate of Yangzhou didn't say anything more, and sent Ba Ye all the way to the gate of the government office.

Seeing the back of Ba Ye going away, the corner of Yangzhou magistrate's mouth twitched, and he turned back to the mansion.

The water here is not so easy to flow!As long as the capital is stable, he, the magistrate, can sit securely.

Coming out of the magistrate's yamen and turning across a street, Ba Ye's expression didn't improve.Chen Guo felt distressed watching from the sidelines, thought for a while, and said, "Master, the boat has been arranged, and we are not in a hurry. Do you want to buy some Jiangnan dim sum to take back? The dim sum here is exquisite, No worse than those in the palace."

Ba Ye paused, nodded and said: "Alright. Bring two boxes back for Er Niang to try."

Chen Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed Ba Ye to the dim sum shop.Only by mentioning the master's mother, can he divert his attention.

After buying a few boxes of snacks and heading to the pier, Baye's expression returned to calm.

There are many things beyond his control.But he believes that one day, he will be strong enough to do what he wants to do.Now, everything has just begun.

When Ba Ye was on the boat back to Beijing, Mao Tongtong followed Mrs. Chen to the gate of her third uncle's house!
Probably Chen Bo sent someone to deliver the letter earlier, and Su Shi has already greeted him at the door.

"My aunt has worked hard all this way! This is the third sister, she has grown up so much!" Su seemed very enthusiastic.

"Long time no see, brother and sister." Chen also had a smile on his face.

Mao Tongtong hurriedly blessed Su's body from behind, and said: "I have seen my aunt."

"Good boy, don't be so polite! When you come to your aunt's house, it's like being at your own house!" Mrs. Su gave her a hand.

"Madam, go in and talk." Uncle Chen reminded from the side.

"Yes, yes, look at me, I was so happy that I forgot to welcome my aunt into the house!" Su smiled and took Chen's arm.

A group of people stepped into the gate of the mansion.

Although Mao Tongtong didn't look around, he also looked at the situation of this uncle's family that he had never met along the way.

Obviously, her third uncle, a Beijing official, is doing pretty well.Judging from the yard they passed through, this should be a three-entry yard.

According to her mother-in-law, the population of my uncle's family is not very large.In addition to his wife and two daughters, there is also a concubine and a concubine.The bastard is still young, only eight years old this year.

In addition, there are some servants in the family.

Such people live in a courtyard with three entrances, which is considered spacious.

For example, Mao Chengyun is a local official, so his home is in the backyard of the Garrison Mansion, and there is no separate mansion.

"The eldest sister and the second sister were so happy when they heard that they were going to have a cousin. They packed up another room in the yard early on, saying that they would live in the same yard, and the sisters would have fun together!"

Mao Tongtong listened to half of Su's words and kept the other half.

In this world, there are naturally people who are passionate about everyone!But most people generally have reservations about people they have never met.

Rather than saying that this was the wish of her two cousins, it might be better to say that it was Su's arrangement.

Chen is the only biological sister of her third uncle, and she has been in love since she was a child.It was difficult for her third uncle to see each other after he became a Beijing official, but they exchanged letters on weekdays and exchanged New Year gifts every year, these were very frequent.This is why the Chen family sent Mao Tongtong to Beijing!

Because it was her uncle who took the initiative to mention the matter of learning the rules from her two cousins!It can be seen how much this third uncle loves her!
As the first wife of the Su family, she only gave birth to two daughters, so she naturally wants to fall in love with him!How else would you keep your position?

Mao Tongtong naturally couldn't think of these complicated things.This was revealed inadvertently by Chen's words.

"Tongtong said that she didn't have any sisters since she was a child. Now it's all right. She has two older sisters protecting her. I don't know how happy she is!" Chen also opened her eyes and said nonsense.

Mao Tongtong listened to these two people's words, and he really admired them in his heart!
While speaking, a group of people entered the main room of the main courtyard.Because there are no elders at home, Chen and Mao Tongtong don't need to greet anyone, they can just sit down and rest.
