Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 648

Probably because Mao Tongtong's scrutinizing eyes were too obvious, Kangxi looked towards her.Mao Tongtong smiled subconsciously, and Kangxi smiled at her too.

Now in the private room, two people were eating Lantern Festival and three people were drinking tea. They didn't speak for a while, and the servants who were serving were standing quietly by the side, but the sound of fireworks and firecrackers sounded outside the window.

Mao Tongtong's position was facing the window of the private room, and as soon as he looked up, he could see the gorgeous fireworks blooming on the black sky outside the window.

At this time, the fireworks technology is very good, and various flowers can be released in the sky.Mao Tongtong was fascinated while holding the teacup.

"Master also prepared fireworks, let's go back and set them off later." Ba Ye's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Really? Why didn't you say it before?" Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye in surprise, but subconsciously lowered his voice.

Ba Ye smiled and said, "I planned to give you a surprise."

The smile on Mao Tongtong's face was even wider, and he quietly squeezed Ba Ye's hand under the table, Ba Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

After a while, Chen Guo arrived with two bowls of Lantern Festival, and now the room was filled with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus and sesame.

"The dragon dance team is here!" Suddenly, the cheers of the crowd sounded outside the window.

Mao Tongtong raised her head after a pause, the purpose of her coming out today was to watch the dragon and lion dance, so how can she sit still now.

But now there are not only her and the eighth master in this room, but Kangxi and the fourth master are also sitting there, so she can only look out the window helplessly.

Except for the servants, she has the lowest status in this room.Kangxi didn't speak, and she didn't dare to go to the window.

Fortunately, Kangxi had already finished eating the Lantern Festival, and he also heard the voice outside the window, put down his bowl and spoon and said, "Come and have a look by the window, it's rare in the palace."

With him speaking, everyone went to the window.

I saw a long dragon dance team on the long street coming here.The fiery red dragon looked particularly festive.The people who were still crowded just now consciously moved to both sides of the road to make room for the dragon dance team to perform.

The dragon seemed to be alive, twisting its body from time to time, flying, spinning, and making various tricks.

The second floor has a good view, overlooking the praise of the entire dragon dance team.Mao Tongtong was so excited, he forgot that there were other people in the room, clapped his hands and praised: "Master, the dragon dance team in Beijing is still very good, this is even more exciting than what I watched in Yangzhou!"

Her gaze was still outside the window, and she didn't notice that the expression of Ba Ye next to her changed slightly, and Kangxi's gaze also looked over.The fourth master over there put his arms around Si Fujin, but didn't pay attention to her words.

"Are you from Yangzhou?" Kangxi asked suddenly.

"That's right!" Mao Tongtong replied without turning her head back, and then realized who the person who asked her was, her heart was agitated, and she quickly turned around and bowed her head and said: "If you go back to Master Huang, my concubine is from Yangzhou. person."

But Kangxi didn't say anything because of her momentary faux pas, instead he asked, "Who are you, Ama?"

"Ama, my concubine, is Yangzhou's garrison." Mao Tongtong replied.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, is it Mao Chengyun?"

Mao Tongtong glanced at Kangxi in surprise, and nodded blankly.Mao Chengyun's official position is not high, Kangxi actually knows?Could it be that the names of all the officials in the world are in Kangxi's mind?That's too powerful!
After all, in Mao Tongtong's heart, Mao Chengyun did not do anything dazzling to attract the attention of the emperor Kangxi.Otherwise, Mao Chengyun wouldn't be just a defense after so many years.

But Kangxi laughed and said, "Your Mama has raised a pair of good children!"

Huh?Mao Tongtong was stunned again, why did Kangxi praise her and Mao Mingxuan so well?
Mao Mingxuan was the No. [-] scholar handpicked by Kangxi, and his deeds in office are remarkable, and he should be praised.But how could she be praised as a back home woman?She doesn't seem to have done anything important in front of Kangxi, right?

"Your elder brother is very knowledgeable, but you are brave as a daughter. It can be seen that your ama taught you well." Kangxi said again.

Only then did Mao Tongtong realize belatedly that what Kangxi was talking about should be about her saving Baye.

To her, it was just an oolong, but she didn't want to let Kangxi mention it after more than two years, it was really a little embarrassing.

Mao Tongtong blushed a little, smiled, and said: "Ama, who is a concubine, loves my concubine and brother very much."

"I know this! If you don't get promoted, you have to send a family letter to your daughter. I guess you, Ama, are the only one in the world!" Kangxi laughed as he spoke.

He really didn't believe it when the old ten accidentally slipped his mouth.There are officials who don't want to be promoted, so it must be playing hard to get!

I never wanted to know the truth after listening to the old ten carefully.Not only is this person self-aware, but he also loves his wife and children very much, which is rare.

Now Mao Tongtong was not easy to answer, so he could only keep smiling.

The Eighth Master who was on the side already heaved a sigh of relief.Just now he was worried that Mao Tongtong's faux pas would displease Kangxi, but it seemed unnecessary to worry about it.

"It's really a blessing that Fujin Mao has such an Ama." Si Fujin interjected next to him.

"Does Hui'er think of her father-in-law?" Fourth Master asked, patting Si Fujin on the shoulder lightly.

Si Fujin nodded, his expression was a little sad, but he still smiled and said: "Now that I have a master and a child, I am quite content as a concubine."

"Am I not your Ama?" Kangxi said suddenly.

Si Fujin smiled and said: "Of course! Ah Ma always loves me too!"

Mao Tongtong was a little surprised, it seemed that Kangxi liked Sifujin very much.

She had heard a long time ago that Sifu Jin was not only liked by Kangxi, but also liked by the Empress Dowager.Even Concubine De is good to her.

Mao Tongtong couldn't help admiring him.It is not easy to make all these high-ranking people like it!She couldn't help thinking, could it be the time of time travel, the master of time travel gave Sifu Jin a golden finger that everyone loves!
A few people were talking and laughing when they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and the crowd burst into cheers again.Everyone looked out of the window together and saw the lion dance team following the dragon dance team just past!There are more than a dozen lions, big and small, posing various actions to attract people's attention!
"Is the Lantern Festival so lively every year?" Kangxi asked.

Fourth master replied: "This year is more lively than previous years. I heard that the dragon and lion dance team is not from the capital, but a troupe from the south."

Kangxi nodded and said: "I said, I don't have such a big dragon and lion dance team in Beijing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big lion walking down the teahouse suddenly stop, looked up at them, and then blinked.
