Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 260 A little reluctant?

On the second day, Zhao Furong was called by Mrs. Zhao.

"Didn't you talk about going to see your Aunt Mao yesterday? I'll go with you later."

Zhao Furong was stunned: "Emiang, you didn't agree to it yesterday."

"That's because the prefect hosted a banquet for Mingxuan yesterday." Mrs. Zhao said calmly.

"Oh." Zhao Furong replied, but she was puzzled in her heart.It was Mao Mingxuan, not Mrs. Mao, who was hosted by the magistrate. Does this have anything to do with her past visits?
But this time her mother obviously didn't want to explain.But Zhao Furong thought that Er Niang had agreed to this matter anyway, so she didn't pursue the reason.

After the mother and daughter dressed up, they went to the Garrison Mansion together.

Mao Mingxuan didn't go out today, and was talking with Mrs. Chen in the main courtyard.Hearing that the mother and daughter of the Zhao family came, they couldn't help being startled.Mrs. Chen laughed, and said to the boy who notified: "Please come in quickly."

"You haven't seen Fu Rong for a long time, so this is an opportunity." Chen said to Mao Mingxuan again.

Mao Mingxuan rarely blushed.Thinking that his mother-in-law wanted Zhao Furong to be her daughter-in-law, he felt embarrassed to meet her.

"There's nothing to be shy about. It's not like you didn't play with Tongtong before when Tongtong was around." Chen joked.

Mao Mingxuan smiled and said nothing.Can it be the same?That would be viewed as a younger sister, but this will be viewed as a daughter-in-law, the feeling is different!
While speaking, the mother and daughter of the Zhao family came in.The two of them were taken aback when they saw Mao Mingxuan, they didn't expect this to happen.

"I have met Mrs. Zhao." Mao Mingxuan saluted first.

"I met Aunt Mao, Brother Mao." Zhao Furong also hurriedly said.

"I haven't seen Mingxuan for almost a year, and I'm getting more and more Yushu Lingfeng." Mrs. Zhao boasted.

"Ma'am, I'm overwhelmed." Mao Mingxuan said modestly.

Mrs. Chen quickly asked the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "You can praise him more! Now that everyone has seen him, no one has a bad word. If this continues, he will not be able to find Bei!"

"Mingxuan doesn't have that kind of character." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. I think Mingxuan is quite calm."

"Mingxuan, I haven't told you yet. In the past few months when you were away, Furong often came to talk to me, and she was really caring like a daughter. This child is very affectionate. Knowing that Tongtong and you are not at home, I'm afraid I'm bored by myself."

As soon as Mrs. Chen said this, Zhao Furong's face turned red, and she looked down at the handkerchief in her hand and remained silent.

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "This child said that when Tongtong left, she told her to come and accompany you more for Tongtong. You also know that she played best with Tongtong since she was a child. promises that must be kept.”

"Yes, it's a pity that Tongtong married far away, otherwise the two sisters would still be able to walk around frequently." Chen also expressed emotion.

"Emiang, I remembered something. Tongtong asked me to bring a gift to Miss Zhao." Mao Mingxuan said suddenly.

He was only thinking about going home, and when he came back there were parties and banquets, he really forgot about it.

"Did Brother Mao meet Tongtong in the capital this time?" Zhao Furong's eyes lit up.

"Yes. Tongtong has another letter for you." Mao Mingxuan said.

Zhao Furong was even happier when she heard that, her eyes were curled up with a smile.

Mao Mingxuan stared blankly, quickly looked away, and said, "Miss Zhao, wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

"Thank you, Brother Mao." Zhao Furong said with a smile.

"The relationship between these two children is really good. It's rare that Tongtong is still thinking about giving Furong a gift from so far away." Mrs. Zhao said.

"It was Lord Belle who gave Mingxuan and Tongtong a chance to meet, otherwise, these things would not have come." Chen said.

"That means Tongtong is favored!" Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "She is doing well, can't you rest assured?"

"Yeah! It's so far away, and we can't see each other. I can only pray in my heart that she will live better. Seeing that Lord Belle treats her well, I feel more at ease." Chen also laughed .

After a while, Mao Mingxuan brought Mao Tongtong's letter and presents to Zhao Furong.

"Tongtong said that you like crabapple flowers the most. She hasn't worn this crabapple hairpin since she got it, and has kept it for you." Mao Mingxuan handed Zhao Furong an exquisitely crafted wooden box, and put the letter in his hand On the wooden box, "This is a letter."

Zhao Furong didn't open the wooden box, but couldn't wait to open the letter Mao Tongtong wrote to her first.

Zhao Furong burst into tears before seeing half of the thick bundle of letter paper.

"What did Tongtong write in the letter?" Mao Mingxuan couldn't help being curious.Could it be that some grievances are inconvenient to talk to them, and they all said that Zhao Furong listened to it?

"Sorry, Brother Mao, this is a whisper between Tongtong and me, I can't let you know." Zhao Furong quickly folded the letter and said: "It's been more than two years since I heard about Tongtong, I'm a little too excited "Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes while talking, she smiled again: "Didn't Brother Mao meet Tongtong in person? Can you tell me, has she grown taller now? Is she thinner or taller? fat?"

Seeing that she changed the subject, Mao Mingxuan didn't ask any further questions, so he talked about the last time he saw Mao Tongtong.

"The sun is quite nice outside today, you young people go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and chat, we have something to talk about alone." Chen said.This is an opportunity to create solitude for the two of them.

Mao Mingxuan wanted to say that it was against the rules, but was stared at by Mrs. Chen, thinking that he was still accompanied by the little tiger, and Zhao Furong also brought a maid, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhao Furong subconsciously looked at Mrs. Zhao, her face flushed slightly.

"Go ahead, your Auntie Chen is right. You young people go talk about your affairs, and we can talk too." Mrs. Zhao laughed.

Zhao Furong followed Mao Mingxuan to the garden.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhao Furong was alone with Mao Mingxuan.In the past, Mao Tongtong was always by his side.

Seeing Zhao Furong bowing her head shyly all the way, Mao Mingxuan felt a little uncomfortable.Fortunately, with the common topic of Mao Tongtong, the two of them will not be too embarrassed.

On this day, Mrs. Chen also kept Zhao's mother and daughter for lunch, and it can be said that they had a very happy conversation.

After two days, the magistrate's wife did not let the matchmaker come to the door again, and Chen's heart was completely relieved.So he called Mao Mingxuan to his room and gave an ultimatum.

"How do you think about the marriage? Which girl do you like?" Chen said straightforwardly: "I gave you a few days to think about it. If you delay it for a long time, there will be no time to get married before you take office. If it’s going to work, you’ll give me an answer right now!”

Mao Mingxuan didn't evade any more, didn't hesitate any longer, and said directly: "Er Niang, it's Zhao Furong."

Chen frowned slightly, and said: "Judging from your tone, it seems a bit forced!"

"That's not it." Mao Mingxuan hurriedly said: "Emiang, although Furong and I are familiar, it's mostly because of Tongtong's relationship. Compared with other people, I feel more relaxed when I get along with her. That's why I chose her."
