Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 6 finally set off

"Tongtong, you just need to start half an hour earlier." Chen turned her head and said to Mao Tongtong.

"Er Niang." As soon as Mao Tongtong opened his mouth, his voice choked up.Er Niang really loves her everywhere.

Mrs. Chen couldn't see her sad look, so she came over and hugged her into her arms, and said with a smile, "I can't sleep in like this when I go to Beijing. Remember to pay your respects to your aunt every day."

"I remember what Er Niang said." Mao Tongtong sniffed.

Seeing the mother and daughter sad, Mao Chengyun felt uncomfortable, and said: "You two still have time to talk along the way, will you be able to have dinner? I have been hungry for a long time!"

Chen Shi rolled his eyes at him, and said with an angry smile: "It has already been passed on, the master is really impatient."

Mao Tongtong also poked his head out of Chen's arms, looked at his Ama and laughed.

On the last night before leaving, she didn't want to cry.It's good for the family to have a good meal!

Today's dinner is very rich.There were more than a dozen large and small plates on the small round table.Mao Chengyun glanced at Mrs. Chen beside him, knowing her thoughts in his heart, and smiled, and said to the servant girl beside him: "Go and bring me a jar of wine for the master! There are so many delicious dishes today, I can't let you down!"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "It's my concubine who forgot. Those who prepared wine today forgot to bring it up."

Here, Mao Chengyun smiled at Mao Mingxuan and Mao Tongtong and said, "Do you want to have a drink with Ama?"

Regardless of Mao Mingxuan's frail scholarly appearance, Mao Tongtong is only a 14-year-old girl, but both brothers and sisters drink a lot.If you really want to let go and drink, Mao Chengyun is not an opponent!

"Okay! My daughter will drink with Ama today!" Mao Tongtong readily agreed!
She always felt a little stuffy in her heart.Have some wine.Only then can I sleep soundly at night.

Mrs. Chen didn't know how to drink, so she just sat by and accompanied them, pouring wine for the three of them from time to time.The meal was actually eaten from the evening until the moon was in the sky, and it didn't end until Mao Chengyun's face was flushed and he started to stutter.

"Er Niang take good care of Ama, we'll go back first!" Mao Mingxuan led Mao Tongtong to get up and leave.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand, supported Mao Chengyun, who couldn't stand still, and watched the couple leave the house.

The night in early spring is still quite chilly.But just drank a lot of wine, the body is still warm.Mao Tongtong's almond eyes were extraordinarily bright in the night.She looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, then turned her head to look at her elder brother whose cheeks were slightly flushed due to drinking too many glasses, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother, wait for me to come back."

She reached out and took Mao Mingxuan's arm, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Feeling that Mao Mingxuan's body was stiff for a second, and then quickly returned to normal, the corners of Mao Tongtong's mouth twitched.

The ancients paid attention to different seats for men and women at seven years old.Even my own brother should pay attention to the defense of men and women.Although her Ama and Er Niang were not so rigid, she had never been so close to Mao Mingxuan.At most, he rubbed her head, which was already a great act of intimacy.

"En." Mao Mingxuan responded lightly, without further words.In this way, Mao Tongtong took her back to the courtyard by his arm.

"Rest well, the road will be hard tomorrow." Mao Mingxuan urged with concern.

"Brother also rest early." Mao Tongtong smiled and waved to Mao Mingxuan.

That night, Mao Tongtong slept soundly and soundly, without dreaming until dawn.She woke up without Taohua calling her.

After getting up and dressing up, Mao Tongtong took peach blossoms, lotus flowers and nurse Wu to the main courtyard.This time when she went to the capital, these three were the only ones she served by her side.

Chen Shi and Mao Chengyun have already woken up for this meeting, and Mao Mingxuan is also here, waiting for her to come.After the family had breakfast, Mao Chengyun and Mao Mingxuan sent Mrs. Chen and Mao Tongtong to the pier together.

The street market was already lively at this time, sitting in the carriage and hearing the voices of people outside, Mao Tongtong almost greedily wanted to remember all this.

She was sure that she could come back, but a trace of boundless uneasiness arose from the depths of her heart.

When they arrived at the pier, the Zhang family's boat had already docked on the shore.Master Zhang is also leading his eldest son to see off his wife and daughter.

Seeing the Mao family coming from a distance, Mr. Zhang hurriedly greeted them.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants had a very low status in ancient times.Although Mao Chengyun was only a fifth-rank official, Mr. Zhang was also very respectful. He bowed his hands and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Lord Mao!"

"I'm tired this time. Your wife needs to take care of you along the way." Mao Chengyun also cupped his hands.Anyway, I still have to say a few words of politeness when I take someone else's boat with the wind.

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's their honor to have Mrs. Garrison go on the same journey, and I can rest assured that they can take care of each other." Master Zhang said with a smile.

Mao Tongtong looked behind Master Zhang, and saw that Zhang Sirui was wearing a bright red skirt embroidered with silver thread and a hundred flowers wearing butterflies. On his head was a double snail bun, wrapped with a string of smooth and round pearls of the same size.There is also a pair of pearl earrings on the ears, which are made into a gourd shape and are rare golden pearls.

Seeing her looking at her, Zhang Sirui raised his chin with a bit of complacency.

Mao Tongtong suddenly felt bored, turned his head to look elsewhere, and heard the elder brother beside him say: "Take care of yourself and Er Niang on the way. If you feel a little uncomfortable, don't bear it, you must say it. There is a doctor on the Zhang family boat." , don’t let a minor illness turn into a serious illness, don’t tell your own discomfort, and make Erniang worry.” He didn’t say a word later, and don’t make him and Ama worry at home.

"Brother, I know all about it." Mao Tongtong looked at Mao Mingxuan with a concerned face, his nose was sore, tears welled up again, and he nodded with his mouth pursed.

Mao Mingxuan stretched out his hand to rub her head, but seeing that it was outside, he put his hand down again.

After a while, the people on the boat shouted to set off. Mao Tongtong supported Mrs. Chen, glanced at Mao Chengyun and Mao Mingxuan reluctantly, and followed the Zhang family's mother and daughter onto the boat.

The boat started to move away from the shore slowly. Mao Tongtong stood on the deck and watched the figures of Ama and elder brother on the shore getting farther and farther away, gradually becoming blurred, and a tear finally fell from the corner of his eye.

"This sad little girl looks like she'll never come back! You thought you could be elected after going to the capital! Besides, as far as your family's Ama is an official position, if you are elected, you will be a concubine!"

A small, high-pitched female voice came from behind.

As soon as Mao Tongtong turned his head, he saw Zhang Sirui's complacent and disdainful face, and his heart burst into flames!
It's just that she looked at Er Niang and Mrs. Zhang standing not far away, suppressed the fire again, gave Zhang Sirui a cold look, and turned her head to look at the willows by the river without saying anything.
