Chapter 35
Mao Tongtong was startled when she heard that, she looked at the peach blossom in front of her, and didn't know what to say for a moment.Taohua is sixteen this year, only two years older than her.Twenty-eight years, this is the best time for a girl.Put it in a wealthy family, it is about the time when a young girl is pregnant and innocent.But Taohua sees things so clearly, just because she has experienced too much at such a young age.

"It's nothing to think about." Mao Tongtong laughed, "You are our Mao family now. After two years, I will ask Er Niang to find a good family for you. I will give you a dowry, and I will also make you look good Just get married. The Mao family is your natal family."

"Girl!" Tao Hua blushed instantly.There is no boudoir girl who talks about marriage like her girl, she is not shy at all!

"Shy?" Mao Tongtong thought of teasing, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be shy about. You and He Hua are the only ones by my side. I will naturally help you find a good home in the future."

"Oh, what a girl!" Tao Hua's face was ashamed like a red cloth, but her heart was full of emotion.

"Peach Blossom, you got this name really well. The blushing cheeks are so pretty, it can be called a peach blossom on a human face!" Mao Tongtong praised.

It was rare for Taohua to show the appearance of her little daughter, she raised her head and glared at Mao Tongtong, and said, "Say it again, maidservant, maidservant."

"That's all?" Mao Tongtong teased.

"Hmph, this servant will just sleep and won't talk to the girl." Tao Hua turned her head and shrank into the quilt.

Mao Tongtong covered his mouth and laughed, this girl is too casual.

Hearing Mao Tongtong's giggles, Taohua lifted the quilt and sat up again, saying: "Young lady is still laughing! Go to bed early, don't be so spirited for class tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Mao Tongtong took a while to calm down, and the little melancholy in his heart was gone.

On the second day, when Mao Tongtong took Chen's letter from Su's hand, his heart was finally at ease.Just get on Zhang's boat, and it's no problem to get to Yangzhou safely.

At this time, Mrs. Chen was indeed on the Zhang family's boat, but she was sick.

After all, she stays in the back house all year round, and rarely travels far.The last time I came to Beijing was with Mao Chengyun.Taking Mao Tongtong alone this time, I can't help but worry more.I only lived in the capital for three days, and I hurried back before I had time to catch my breath. Coupled with depression in my heart, I fell ill for a while.

Fortunately, she was served by the maid Zhuxiang, and there was also a doctor on the Zhang family's boat, so she was diagnosed and treated in time.

Lying in the cabin, listening to the sound of water outside, Mrs. Chen unconsciously sighed again.

"Ma'am, it's time to take medicine." Zhu Xiang came in with a bowl of steaming black medicine soup, and seeing tears in the corners of her eyes, she said: "The doctor has said it, Madam, you should relax, otherwise the disease will be serious." It's not easy. Don't worry about the girl. The maidservant sees that the girl is not a temperament that will be bullied at will. Besides, there are Mammy Wu, Taohua and Lotus. They will take good care of the girl. It is you who are worrying like this. If the girl knows, I don’t know how to feel distressed!”

"You girl, you're the one to blame me." Mrs. Chen smiled weakly.

She also knows that it's not good for her to look like this every day.But she just couldn't help it.At one moment, he regretted sending Mao Tongtong to Beijing, and at the other moment, he regretted leaving in a hurry.In short, my heart is full of melancholy.

She took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, and asked, "The letter was sent away?"

"Well, it was delivered the day we got on the boat, and it should be in the girl's hands." Zhuxiang replied.

Chen nodded and said, "That's good. I hope my decision is right."

"Madam is doing it for the good of the girl, and the girl understands it in her heart!" Zhu Xiang persuaded.

Chen Shi didn't say a word.It is because her daughter is sensible that she feels more distressed.But thinking about everything for the future, she settled down again.

Fulfilling days always pass very quickly.Learning the rules and going to class every day, Mao Tongtong has been in the capital for more than a month before he knew it.

Since the bet with Chen Ruyu was made that time, the two of them finally became peaceful.At least Chen Ruyu seldom speaks against Mao Tongtong in a strange way.Chen Ruzhu also heaved a sigh of relief.As long as the face is decent, otherwise it will be difficult for her to be caught in the middle.

On the contrary, Mrs. Su found it strange.Thinking of Chen Ruyu leaving in a rush that day, I thought she would make a fuss, but the next day was calm and nothing happened.However, Chen Junjie felt relieved, thinking that it was Su's ruthless training of Chen Ruyu.For a while, the whole family was amicable.

The Chen family finally set foot on the land of Yangzhou City.Looking at the familiar street and listening to the familiar accent, Chen's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid the master will scold the slaves soon!" Zhu Xiang said with a worried expression.

"Huh?" Mrs. Chen turned her head to look at her, and she said with a bitter face: "Your servant didn't take good care of your wife, the master must not scold you!"

"I'm sick, and I don't blame you. I don't know how I would survive this journey without you! Don't worry, I will be here when I go back, and I won't let the master talk about you." Chen laughed.

This time without the company of the Zhang family's female family members, she was ill on the boat for more than half a month, if Zhuxiang hadn't been with her all the time, she really wouldn't be able to make it back.

"Ma'am, it seems to be the young master!" Zhu Xiang suddenly looked at the distance in surprise and said.

Mrs. Chen also looked at it quickly, feeling very surprised in her heart.She didn't send a letter home when she came back, so Mao Mingxuan wouldn't know that she arrived today?And what she discussed with the master at the beginning was that she planned to stay in the capital for a while, and return to Yangzhou after Mao Tongtong got used to it.She changed her mind temporarily and left after only staying for three days.

"What a young master!" Zhu Xiang had already seen it clearly, and waved excitedly: "Young master! The maidservant and madam are here!"

Mao Mingxuan was obviously looking for them too, when he heard Zhuxiang's voice, he immediately looked over, with joy on his face, and walked towards them quickly.

"Er Niang has worked hard all the way! My son is here to take Er Niang home!" Mao Mingxuan smiled and supported Chen's arm.

"How do you know I'm here today? The academy has no classes today?" Chen asked.

"My younger sister sent a letter earlier, telling me about the time when Erniang left Beijing. I figured that the time would be about the same, so I came to the pier to try my luck in the past two days. At the academy, because the master is ill, these days are all self-study. , the son told his master that he would not go to the academy when he was reading at home." Mao Mingxuan explained in detail.

"Did Tong Tong write a letter? When did it happen? What did you say? How is she over there?" Mrs. Chen asked hastily.Along the way, this was the thing that worried her the most.

"My sister naturally agrees." Mao Mingxuan said: "My son saw that Erniang lost a lot of weight, but the journey was too hard?"
