Chapter 247
"Really?" Both Chen and Mao Chengyun couldn't believe it.

"Before the eighth master had not left the palace to build the mansion, he brought Tongtong out to meet me once." Mao Mingxuan said: "After moving to Baylor Mansion, we both met again. I went to live with Tongtong The courtyard is very delicately arranged, it can be seen that Ba Ye has put a lot of thought into it."

"Then why did Ba Ye mention you? I want you to stand in line?" Mao Chengyun said.

Although the crown prince's status is stable now, each adult prince has disciples under his command, and they are all cultivating their own influence.Ba Ye dotes on Mao Tongtong, and Mao Mingxuan is promising, so it's not surprising that Ba Ye has moved his mind.

"I didn't say it clearly." Mao Mingxuan said.

"I didn't say it explicitly, but it was hinted at." Mao Chengyun said.

"I pretended not to understand." Mao Mingxuan said.He is only a seventh-rank county magistrate now, and it is too early to say that he will stand in line.

"Well, you handled it right." Mao Chengyun nodded, "Although your sister belongs to the eighth master, you are an official appointed by the emperor."

"My son thinks so too." Mao Mingxuan nodded.

"Could you two stop talking about this?" Chen interrupted at this moment: "Let Mingxuan tell how Tongtong is doing!"

"Didn't I just say that Master Ba dotes on her very much! He cared about Mingxuan for her sake, how could it be okay?" Mao Chengyun said.

"Emiang, Tongtong is doing well. Now there are two princesses and three concubines in Eighth Master's house, Tongtong can be regarded as the only favorite now." Mao Mingxuan said.

He didn't say what kind of person the Eighth Fortune is about to enter the mansion, so as not to worry Chen and Mao Chengyun.

But Mrs. Chen still remembers Mao Tongtong in her heart, and she can think of some things even if she doesn't talk about them.When I heard that Mao Tongtong was the only favorite, I immediately became worried.

"Being favored is a good thing, but it's not a good thing. Doting alone is too eye-catching. How about waiting for Fujin to come in?" Chen Shi said: "If you continue to be favored, I'm afraid it will be a thorn in Fujin's eyes. But if you fall out of favor , that Tongtong will also be sad."

She herself is a concubine, so she naturally knows that it is rare for a concubine and a concubine to get along well.Especially between the first wife and the concubine, they are two opposites!

"Emiang, Tongtong is not stupid, she will handle these relationships well." Mao Mingxuan said: "And I think Ba Ye is sincere to her, so he should protect her."

Mao Mingxuan himself didn't believe this, but he could only comfort Chen Shi in this way.

"I hope so." Chen Shi sighed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Mao Chengyun hurriedly said: "You, don't worry about Tongtong all the time. She is a blessed child and will live a good life. You were not worried about all kinds of things before, but in the end, what happened to Tongtong nothing!"

Chen Shi laughed.

"You still worry about Mingxuan! When I come back, aren't you still in a hurry to ask Mingxuan to talk about things!" Mao Chengyun said.

As soon as he reminded her, Mrs. Chen remembered that there was still an important matter to be said, and immediately regained her spirits.

Mao Mingxuan saw that Chen's eyes suddenly looked at him with bright eyes, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart, and felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

"Um, what's the matter, my mother?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Chen smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Mao Mingxuan felt more and more that something was wrong, subconsciously even leaned back.

"Mingxuan, you are seventeen this year." Chen said with a smile.

"Yeah." Mao Mingxuan nodded, "According to his first birthday, he should be eighteen."

"Look, it was Tongtong's draft before, and then you went to Beijing to take the exam, which delayed your lifelong event. Otherwise, you should have been engaged the year before last." Chen said.

Mao Mingxuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.Marriage matters have always been decided by the parents.

"Last year, when you won the exam, a lot of marriage proposals came to your family. Er Niang pushed you away on the grounds that you still want to participate in Chunwei. This year you won the first prize, and as soon as the news spread back to Yangzhou, our family's threshold must be high." I was trampled down by that matchmaker!" Mrs. Chen was quite proud when she said this.

Some people don't know how difficult it is to marry a daughter-in-law, so they come to ask for it.It's not like their family's Mingxuan, the girls in line want to marry!

Mao Mingxuan blushed slightly, and whispered: "Emiang, you, what you said is too exaggerated."

"Your mother is really not exaggerating!" Mao Chengyun quickly answered, "If we didn't want to ask you what you mean, this marriage could be settled long before you come back!"

"What do I mean?" Mao Mingxuan was stunned.

"You and I, Ama, are only one son of yours. Although the marriage has always been decided by the parents, Ama and Erniang still want you to choose a daughter-in-law you like and live a peaceful and beautiful life." Chen said: " Tongtong has no choice, the imperial decree cannot be violated. But you are different, you can still have your own choice. Family and everything are prosperous, you young couple have a good life, and you and I are happy."

"Ama, Erniang." Mao Mingxuan didn't know what to say for a moment.How lucky he was to meet such good parents.

"Emiang won't hide it from you, your Ama and I have someone we like. But Emiang still wants you to make the final decision." Chen said.

"Which family is the girl from?" Although shy, Mao Mingxuan asked boldly.

Now that Ama and Erniang have done this for him, it would be meaningless for him to hesitate any longer.At his age, getting married is also a good thing. When he takes office, others know that he has his wife to take care of him, so some things will be inconvenient.

"It's the best handkerchief with Tongtong, Zhao Shoubei's first daughter, Zhao Furong." Chen Shi said.

Mao Mingxuan was no stranger to Zhao Furong.We used to play together when we were kids.Later, when she grew up, she paid attention to different seats for men and women, but because the two families had a good relationship, and Zhao Furong and Mao Tongtong were as close as sisters, Mao Mingxuan also had a lot of contact with her.

Hearing Mrs. Chen talk about Zhao Furong, a girl with a bright smile, lively and generous personality immediately appeared in Mao Mingxuan's mind.

"You and Fu Rong are also familiar. I believe you know her appearance and character. If you like her, Er Niang will go to the Zhao family to propose a marriage, so that the marriage can be arranged before you take office. In case you are in office, There's not even a single person who knows what's cold and what's hot." Chen Shi said.

"See what Erniang said, there are still little tigers!" Mao Mingxuan laughed.

"Can this boy compare with his wife?" Chen stared.

"Mingxuan, it doesn't matter if you don't like it. There are many girls of the right age for your mother. You just choose the one you think is suitable." Mao Chengyun said aside.

"Yes, it's okay if you don't like it. It's just what you, Ama and I liked, and we didn't reveal the slightest bit of information." Chen hurriedly echoed.

"Emiang, I have always regarded Zhao's girl as a younger sister. Now you suddenly say that you want me to marry her as your wife. I, I really don't know what's in my mind." Mao Mingxuan hesitated.
