Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 194

After the little eunuch put two cups of sugar water on the small table beside Mao Tongtong and retreated, Ba Ye came in.

"What good things did the dining room send again?" Eighth Master asked with a smile.

"It's such a coincidence that my master came back!" Mao Tongtong stood up with a smile, and said, "It's sugar water! Come and taste it with my servant."

"Sweet water?" Eighth Master came over and looked at the two white porcelain soup cups on the table, "The dining room rarely makes this."

Mao Tongtong opened one of the cups, and a sweet smell spread out.

"Well, it smells good." Mao Tongtong couldn't wait any longer, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!" Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye with wide eyes, and said vaguely.

Ba Ye laughed and said, "It's just sugar water, how delicious is it?"

Mao Tongtong swallowed a piece of horseshoe in his mouth, and said: "Grandpa, try it, it's really good! It tastes the same as what my mother boiled when the servant girl was at home! It clears away heat and moisturizes dryness, and it's especially good to drink in autumn and winter."

Seeing that she was eating delicious food, Ba Ye was not very interested at first, so he couldn't help but started drinking.

"Well, it's really good." Ba Ye nodded in praise.

Refreshing, sweet and not greasy.

The two of them didn't talk about this conversation, and finished the cup of sugar water in one breath.

"Master came back early today." Mao Tongtong wiped his mouth before opening his mouth.

"Let's see how your house is moving." Ba Ye said.

"It's pretty good." Mao Tongtong said: "I moved all the big things here yesterday. I moved some for daily use this morning. It was finished before lunch. The servants also took an hour-long nap!"

Ba Ye waved at her, Mao Tongtong walked over, and Ba Ye pulled him to sit on his lap, and said with a smile, "Do you like the new yard?"

"Yes, I like it very much!" Mao Tongtong nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's good that you like it. It should have been changed for you a long time ago. Who knows that it has been delayed for so long because I have been out on an errand." Ba Ye said.

Only then did Mao Tongtong suddenly realize.No wonder Ba Ye cleaned up so quickly when he said to change the yard for her.It turned out that it had been prepared two months ago.

"The servant wants to thank the master very much, but he doesn't know how to thank him. It seems that the servant has nothing to give the master. What kind of thank you gift does the master want?" Mao Tongtong finally decided to ask the eighth master directly.

"Huh? Master really never thought about asking for your thank you gift!" Eighth Master said with a smile: "Let Master think about it carefully, what should I ask you to give!"

"Then you have to think about it quickly!" Mao Tongtong said, "I won't wait when it's overdue!"

Seeing the sly smile on Mao Tongtong's face, Ba Ye teased, "This is a thank you gift you want to give to Ye, yet you still set a deadline? Ye sees that you are not sincere in giving it at all!"

"Anyway, it's only ten days. If I can't figure out what I want, I will give up automatically as a servant!" Mao Tongtong laughed.

"You really know how to be narrow-minded! Let's see how I will deal with you tonight!" Ba Ye suddenly leaned into Mao Tongtong's ear and whispered.

The hot breath from Ba Ye's mouth penetrated into Mao Tongtong's ears, making her shrink her neck subconsciously.

Hearing Ba Ye's chuckle next to his ear, Mao Tongtong couldn't help but give Ba Ye a sideways glance, and said, "You can only use this trick to bully people! You have the ability, you have the ability,"

"How about being capable?" Eighth Master asked with a smile.

Mao Tongtong couldn't tell why.

"I don't need too many skills, as long as the method is effective!" Eighth Master laughed.

Mao Tongtong was so choked that he couldn't speak a word.

Seeing her depressed look, Ba Ye finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Playing with beauties in the warm winter sun is also fun, isn't it?
Outside the palace, Mao Mingxuan had already returned to Uncle Chen's residence.

Ever since he met Guo Luoluo on Zhuangzi yesterday, he has no intention of playing.Put more and more time into learning.

The chief examiner for next year's spring has been decided.With Uncle Chen, the official in Beijing, the news is still well-informed.

So Mao Mingxuan is now also doing targeted homework review.According to the examiner's preferences, and the questions from previous years to figure out.This is like in the modern college entrance examination, not only to pay attention to the current affairs, but also to do the test questions of previous years.

Chen Ruzhu later heard about what happened in Zhuangzi from Mrs. Su's mouth, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic to Mao Tongtong.As a concubine, whether life will be easy or not, apart from whether or not to be favored, the rest will depend on the head of the house.However, looking at Mao Mingxuan who worked so hard, she felt that Mao Tongtong was lucky.

Thinking of myself again, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.Er Niang controlled her marriage affairs and looked down on Mao Mingxuan, but she still hasn't settled for her.Several of the showgirls who lost the election with her are now married and are preparing to marry at home.In the new year, she will be 17 years old, which is not too young.Pian Ama has always listened to Er Niang in this kind of matter, and is not very careful.

"Ge Ge, Madam asked you to come over!" Just as she was thinking, the servant girl came to call her.

"Oh, I see." Chen Ruzhu replied, but she was not energetic.

"Ge Ge is not feeling well?" the servant girl asked with concern.

"Nothing." Chen Ruzhu shook her head.

It was rare to be happy at Zhuangzi yesterday, but when I returned home, thinking of these things, my mood became dull for no reason.

"Let's go." She stood up, helped the bead flower on her head facing the mirror, and led the maid to the main courtyard.

"Er Niang, I'm here."

"Come on, my mother has something to tell you."

Su Shi waved at her with a smile on his face.

"Emiang, what's the good thing about this?" Chen Ruzhu walked over and said with a smile.

"Of course it's a good thing." Su Shi smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and said, "Emiang showed you a good husband-in-law!"

"Ah!" Chen Ruzhu was startled, and then asked with a blushing face, "Yes, which one is it?"

"Emiang told you last time, Ama, that Dali Siqing's wife said she wanted to match you up. No, let me know. He said he was the youngest son of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Now he has started to work. Make a pen stick. Although he is only a seventh-rank official, he is young and has Ama who is a servant, so there must be room for advancement in the future. Besides, his family has an old Manchu surname and is well-off."

"Youngest son? How many brothers and sisters does he have above him?" Chen Ruzhu grasped the key point.

"This kind of family naturally has a larger population than ours." The smile on Su's face was a little awkward, but he still said: "The old lady of his family is here, so the family has not yet been separated. The servant's family is the second bedroom. The master of the house and your Ama are colleagues. The master of the third house is weak and has not done anything. There are four children in the servant's family. Except for this youngest son, the eldest is the eldest daughter, and the second and third are both concubines."

When Chen Ruzhu heard this, she frowned.Like this kind of undivided family, the whole family lives together, and there are most disputes.Moreover, the youngest son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry is also the only legitimate son of the minister's family, so he is probably spoiled by the minister's wife.If she is really married, she might not be a good daughter-in-law.
