Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 311 Appropriate Care

Although the Empress Dowager's illness was not serious, she was old and procrastinated, and it took ten days to recover.Ba Ye visited the palace every day, and sent someone to send news to Chengde.

It's just that after the queen mother recovered from her illness, Mongolia was not at peace again.

Galdan, who had been silent for several years, made a comeback again, this time with a menacing force, which seemed to be even braver than the last time.

When Ba Ye received the report, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly sent it to Chengde.And Kangxi set off for Beijing on the second day after receiving the report.

Mao Tongtong didn't see Ba ​​Ye for a few days, but he didn't miss the old days in his heart, instead he felt relaxed.She would be hiding from Eighth Master, afraid that he would keep talking about being pregnant.If he doesn't come, she will feel more at ease.

But when her little days were over, Master Ba didn't come.She didn't say anything, but the green bamboo and green seedlings beside her felt that something was wrong.

"Gege, Lord Baylor hasn't come for a few days, why don't you go to the front yard to have a look?" Qingzhu said.

"I guess I'm busy, so I won't bother you." Mao Tongtong said.

"I'm too busy to stay here for so long, right?" Qing Miao said.

"Has it been a long time?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Yeah." The two servant girls nodded together and said, "It's been five days!"

Mao Tongtong couldn't laugh or cry, was five days a long time?It seems that the eighth master came here too often before, and the maids couldn't get used to it.

"Now that the emperor is not in the capital, Lord Belle is going to supervise the country, so he will be busy." Mao Tongtong patiently explained to the two servant girls, "I'll stay in the backyard honestly, don't bother me. When the master is done with his work, he will come naturally."

She's not out of favor, so there's nothing to worry about.However, it is still necessary to take proper care of Xia Ba Ye.After thinking for a while, Mao Tongtong said: "Let Wu Youcai go to the front yard and ask, what time does my master go out and come back these days. Did you have dinner at the mansion?"

"The slaves have already asked. Lord Baylor has left at dawn these few days, and only returned after dinner at night." Qingzhu said.

"You girl!" Mao Tongtong was speechless, but he was much more anxious than her.

Qingzhu smiled, as a slave, she naturally wanted to think ahead for her master.This kind of thing should be done early without the master's order.

"Since the master is not in the house all day, I won't see anyone in the front yard!" Mao Tongtong said.

"Ge Ge can go at night. Sending a midnight snack or something is also concerned about the master." Qing Miao suggested.

"That's right, Master Belle's dinner is out for the past few days, so it's not as good as being in the house. Gege can ask the small kitchen to cook some nourishing soup and send it over." Qingzhu also echoed.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the two servant girls, Mao Tongtong finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just listen to you once. Let's go to the front yard tonight."

"Ge Ge is right." Qing Zhu smiled and said: "Ge Ge cares, Lord Baylor must be very happy."

Qing Miao said: "Servant, go to the kitchen now, there seems to be fresh pigeons today, just right for stewing soup."

"Okay, you can arrange it." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.With such an active maid, it saves her from worrying.

But before it got dark, Mao Tongtong heard the news that Sheng Jia had returned to Luan.

The news came from the eunuch who went out to buy in the mansion.I saw Kangxi's imperial driver on the street.

"No wonder Master is so busy!" Mao Tongtong said.I'm afraid I've been busy making preparations for the pick-up these days.

"No, why did the emperor come back so early?" Mao Tongtong was puzzled.I remember that she went to Chengde with Ba Ye last year, but she didn't come back until autumn.There is still half a month before autumn!

"I heard that there is another war in Mongolia." Wu Youcai said.

"Ah? Another war?" Mao Tongtong frowned.Doesn't it mean that now is a peaceful and prosperous age, why are there always wars?I still remember that Ba Ye went to Mongolia to fight the war two years ago.

"The servant is only hearing about it. It seems that Long Live Lord returned to Beijing so quickly because of the war." Wu Youcai said.

"If it's because of the war, then it makes sense." Mao Tongtong nodded.It is impossible for Eighth Master to decide such a major event.We can only wait for Kangxi to come back to preside over the overall situation.

In the evening, Mao Tongtong sent someone to ask if Ba Ye had returned.Unexpectedly, he waited and waited until it was completely dark, but Ba Ye didn't return.

"Looks like I can't go to the front yard today." Mao Tongtong said.This posture should be that Kangxi left people in the palace to discuss important matters.

"Does Ge Ge want to rest?" Qing Zhu asked.

"Wait a little longer." Mao Tongtong said: "After an hour, if the master still doesn't come back, I will sleep again."

An hour later, it will be Haishi.At that time, the palace gates will be locked, and Ba Ye will probably spend the night in the palace.

"What is Gege going to do? Practice calligraphy or read?" Qingzhu asked.You can't just sit for an hour, you have to find something to do to pass the time.

"Let's practice calligraphy." Mao Tongtong said.Practicing calligraphy and meditating, she really likes it now.

Qingzhu went to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

After writing for only half an hour, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

"Gege, Lord Baylor is coming to our courtyard." It was Quan Dali.He has been guarding the gate of the courtyard.

Mao Tongtong paused, quickly put down the pen, and walked towards the door.

"Tongtong still asleep?" As soon as the words finished, Ba Ye entered the room, seeing Mao Tongtong standing at the door to meet him, holding her hand, he said with a smile: "Seeing that your courtyard is brightly lit, I am a little surprised. "

"The slaves are waiting for you!" Mao Tongtong smiled, followed Ba Ye into the room and sat down.

"Waiting for you? What's the matter?" Eighth Master asked.

"Yeah. I have something to do." Mao Tongtong nodded.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ba Ye said.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you. I asked the kitchen to make soup today, and I'm going to send it to you, but I don't know you're not here." Mao Tongtong said.

Ba Ye looked tired, but he still laughed after hearing this, and said: "I haven't come here for a while. It's because you have a heart."

"My servant heard that the emperor has returned to Beijing, and there is a war in Mongolia. Lord, will you be on the battlefield this time?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Have you heard about this too?" Ba Ye sighed and said, "Today my son came here to tell you about this."

"It seems that Master is going." Mao Tongtong's expression changed.Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and she didn't want Ba Ye to take risks at all.

"Huang Ama hasn't decided yet, but I want to take the initiative to invite Ying." Ba Ye said.

"Why? Fighting for military merits? Hasn't my master already been on the battlefield before?" Mao Tongtong asked anxiously.

"It's a pity that Galdan escaped during the first battle two years ago. This time, I went not only because of military merits, but also to make up for this regret." Ba Ye said.

"You have to go?" Mao Tongtong said, "The battlefield is so dangerous! I don't want you to go!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Eighth Master said with a smile, "We Manchus will win the world right away, so no one is afraid of going to the battlefield!"
