Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 249 Next Post

"Young Master Ling will not stay for long when he comes back this time. I heard that those who won the number one prize are all going to be officials. If Young Master Ling goes to take office, the wait will be another three years. Madam is really not in a hurry to get married? "The matchmaker laughed.

"Of course the marriage must be decided. It's just that there are so many people who propose marriage, so it's hard for me to make up my mind at the moment." Chen said with a smile: "We are also very happy that the wife of the magistrate is interested. It's just that this marriage has to be decided by our master. "

"No one in Yangzhou City knows that Mr. Mao listens to Madam most. If you agree, Mr. Mao will naturally agree. Is Madam dissatisfied with Miss Fang?" the matchmaker said.

Chen thought to herself, is this trying to use the prefect's name to overwhelm others?But she is really not afraid.Although their master's official position is not high, he is really not a person who wronged his son for the sake of his boss.

"Whether you are satisfied or not, I am not the only one who has the final say." Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will give you a confirmation letter within three days at the most. We have to discuss it."

Chen's words were tactful, so the matchmaker didn't want to be aggressive, so she immediately smiled and said: "Then Madam and Lord Mao have a good discussion, and I will visit you in three days."

"Okay, sorry for your trouble." Chen smiled and got up to see him off.

"I was also entrusted by others." The matchmaker said.

When the people left, the smile on Chen's face disappeared.It is also troublesome that the son is too popular.If the marriage is not settled, there will be no peace in this house.

After a while, another servant came in and said, "Madam, the message sent by the magistrate is for the young master."

"Could it be that the magistrate wants to lobby in person?" Chen's face changed slightly.She still didn't want to make the relationship too rigid.After all, they still have to live in Yangzhou City, and Mao Chengyun still has to work under the magistrate.

But in case the magistrate goes to battle in person, how can he refuse?Chen suddenly felt worried.

"Madam, let's take a look at what is written in this post first." Madam Wu said, "This old slave thinks that the magistrate probably wouldn't personally talk about the marriage of his children. If he said it, it was the magistrate's wife who said it."

"Go and call Mingxuan here." Mrs. Chen said to the boy.

She was also illiterate, so Mao Mingxuan had to read the post.

After a while, Mao Mingxuan came.

"Look at the post that the magistrate sent you." Chen Shi said.

Mao Mingxuan took it over, looked at it twice, and said, "I'm invited to drink."

"Okay, why did you suddenly invite you to drink?" Chen asked suspiciously.

"Er Niang, I am the champion of the new department." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile: "The magistrate also has a bright face. He just took this opportunity to set an example for the students in Yangzhou. Didn't Ama just say that yesterday! I didn't expect the prefect Your Excellency moves so fast."

"Mingxuan, Er Niang has something else to tell you. When you go tomorrow, please be careful." Chen said worriedly.

"What's the matter?" Mao Mingxuan was curious.

Chen then told about the marriage proposal just now.

"Emiang, is my market so good now?" Mao Mingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Isn't the magistrate's wife as tall as the eye?At the beginning Fang Ruohong took a fancy to Mao Tongtong, and after the magistrate's wife learned about his thoughts, although she never said anything on the surface, she often did things behind her back secretly.

When Mao Tongtong left Yangzhou, why Fang Ruohong was late and missed sending Mao Tongtong off? Was it because the magistrate's wife dragged him to talk?
At this moment, he even thought about marrying their family again, which is really a good idea!
"Now you know your mother-in-law and my difficulties?" Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him angrily, and said, "If your marriage is not settled, there will be no peace in this mansion. I am worrying now, why? If you reject this marriage, you won't offend the magistrate's wife."

"It's my son who made things difficult for Er Niang." Mao Mingxuan said.

"Hey, it's not a good thing to be too good!" Chen sighed.

"Er Niang, I want to get together with some classmates today, and then I will see my master, so I won't come back for lunch at noon." Mao Mingxuan said.It's better to slip away at this time, so as not to be dragged to choose a wife again.He thought about it all night and still hasn't come up with a result!
"Go." Chen waved his hand and said, "Who told me to be your mother-in-law! These things, let me worry about them."

"Thank you mother! The son will leave first." Mao Mingxuan smiled and waved at Mrs. Chen, and ran away in a hurry.

Looking at the somewhat childish Mao Mingxuan, Chen couldn't help laughing.In the past, Mingxuan would only show such an expression when Tongtong was around.The child was so tense, she hadn't seen him so lively for a long time.

On the grassland, Mao Tongtong finally had a peaceful sleep.

Laughton, who had been riding in a carriage for several days, and the fear of the assassin incident, kept her from really relaxing.

The meeting finally arrived at the destination. She heard that she would live here for the next month, and that she would no longer have to travel around. There were a lot of guards around the camp, so she felt relieved.

This is the first time Mao Tongtong has come to the grassland since the second generation.

The blue sky and the vast grasslands make people feel refreshed.She didn't dare to go out of the camp alone anymore, so she just looked at the distance from the edge.

"Maggie." Someone called her from behind.

When Mao Tongtong turned around, he saw that the person who came was very familiar.

"You are?" Mao Tongtong thought for a while, but still couldn't remember.

"We met in the palace. I'm Zhang Gege from Lord Wubeile's residence." The visitor said.

"Oh, hello." Mao Tongtong said with a quick smile, "I'm sorry, I don't remember people's faces very well, and often I can't remember them clearly when I meet them several times."

Zhang Gege smiled and didn't mind, and said, "Why stand here and see? The scenery will be better if you go a little further."

Mao Tongtong shook his head and said, "Our master won't let me go out of the camp alone, saying it's not safe."

"The assassin wouldn't dare to come here in broad daylight." Zhang Gege laughed.

"I'm afraid too." Mao Tongtong smiled sheepishly.

Zhang Gege covered his mouth and smiled, "You are really timid."

"Aren't you afraid?" Mao Tongtong asked back.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Zhang Gege said: "The assassins' target is not us, so they won't waste their efforts on us."

"You really think about it." Mao Tongtong said in admiration.People's assassins will not take these little princesses as their targets.But if you encounter them on the road, it is not impossible to kill them.This Zhang Gege has a big heart.

"It's fate to be killed by an assassin, but it's not something you can dodge if you want to." Zhang Gege laughed.

Mao Tongtong smiled, but didn't answer.She still cherishes her life, so be careful.

"Can you ride a horse?" Zhang Gege asked again.

"Not very good." Mao Tongtong said.She can ride, but dare not run.

"It would be a pity if you don't ride a horse when you come to the grassland!" Zhang Gege looked at the distance with longing.
