Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 78
After Ba Ye sent Mao Tongtong away, he felt relieved.Thinking of Mao Tongtong's sad, indignant and aggrieved expression just now, Ba Ye was as happy as eating three ice bowls in one go in a dog day!Sure enough, happiness based on the pain of others is different.

"Chen Guo, change this tea." Ba Ye said briskly.

"Yes." Chen Guo came in to wait on him.

Before dinner that day, Mao Tongtong began to struggle.

Ba Ye only said that he would serve in the evening, but he didn't say whether it was dinner or after dinner.

If the timing of her going is not right, will this master make another note in his heart?
Seeing her walking back and forth in the tent, Qing Zhu couldn't help calling out, "Ge Ge, is there something wrong with you?"

"Ah," Mao Tongtong stopped and said distressedly, "Yes, I'm thinking about life-and-death matters!"

Qing Zhu's face changed slightly, since she came back from the master's carriage, Ge Ge has been talking about life and death.I don't know what the master said, but he didn't say anything when he asked Ge Ge, he was really anxious to death!

"Forget it, die early and be reborn early!" Mao Tongtong stomped his feet, making up his mind.

"Come on, dress me up!" Mao Tongtong sat down in front of the mirror and said, "Dress up for me today, so that I can be a beautiful female ghost even after I die!"

"Gege, can you stop saying these words? The servant is panicking!" Qing Mei came in with water.

"Ge Ge is going to the master?" Qing Zhu asked.

Mao Tongtong nodded resignedly, and said, "I told you in the carriage today, let me serve you at night."

"That's a good thing!" Qing Mei was puzzled.

"Yes, Gege." Qing Zhu also echoed: "Aren't you coming out this time to serve the master? Why are you so distressed?"

"Hey, I don't know how to explain it either." Mao Tongtong looked at the young face in the mirror with a bitter face, sighed again, and said, "Anyway, it's self-inflicted, so don't ask."

No matter how worried Qingzhu and Qingmei were, they couldn't force Mao Tongtong to say that they could only serve her wholeheartedly and dress her up according to Mao Tongtong's wishes.

Today's makeup uses a rare red rouge, and the eyebrows are drawn thicker than usual, coupled with a cherry red flag dress, it actually shows a charm that is not usually there.

"Not bad." Mao Tongtong nodded in satisfaction.

In the past few years since she came to the Qing Dynasty, she has always dressed in a fresh and beautiful style. This is the first time she has tried such a gorgeous style like today, and she did not expect it to be very good-looking.

"Gege is so beautiful today." Qingzhu sighed sincerely.

Qing Mei said: "Master, I will definitely be stunned by Ge Ge tonight!"

Mao Tongtong smiled, she was really confused and let her go!
Eighth Master's side has already started passing meals.Hearing that the little eunuch reported that Mao Tongtong was coming, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched.It seems to be a long memory, and it's time to get it.

"Let her in." Eighth Master said.

"Yes." The little eunuch went out to pass on the message.

Standing outside the tent, Mao Tongtong took a deep breath, and then walked in with Qingzhu and Qingmei.

"Your servant has seen the master." Mao Tongtong bowed his head as soon as he entered.

"Come and sit down." Eighth Master said.

Mao Tongtong just got up and looked up, and saw Ba Ye was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Slaves serve the master to eat." Mao Tongtong did not sit down, but stood beside Ba Ye, picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table, and prepared to serve Ba Ye.

"You're well dressed today." Eighth Master praised him.

Mao Tongtong paused, a little surprised.She thought that if he came over tonight, Master Ba would continue to make things difficult for her.

"Sit down, there are servants to serve you." Eighth Master said again.

Mao Tongtong didn't insist, and sat down as promised.

Because they are camping outside, the meals are naturally not as exquisite as those in the palace, but there are also dozens of plates, large and small, on the table.The two began to eat, and there was nothing to say for a while, the only sound in the camp was the sound of chewing and the collision of bowls and chopsticks.

After the meal was over, when the servants withdrew their meals, the two waiters rinsed their mouths and wiped their hands and then retreated, only Chen Guo, Qingzhu, and Qingmei were left in the room to wait on them.

Seeing Mao Tongtong's uneasy expression, Ba Ye covered the smile in his eyes and said, "Can you play chess?"

"Yes, but it's not good." Mao Tongtong answered honestly.

Eighth Master glanced at Chen Guo, and the latter went to prepare the chessboard and chess pieces.

"Who taught it?" Eighth Master asked casually.

"Brother." Mao Tongtong said.

"How many brothers and sisters are there in your family?" Eighth Master suddenly became interested and wanted to know about the situation of Mao Tongtong's family.

When Mao Tongtong delivered it, Mother Guo gave a brief introduction.But it only said that she was the daughter of the guard in Yangzhou, and the rest was not clear.

"Only the servant girl and the elder brother." Mao Tongtong replied.

"Oh?" Eighth Master was a little surprised. The two brothers and sisters are considered to be weak.

"Your eldest brother is also a descendant?"

"Yeah." Mao Tongtong nodded, "The slave girl, Ama, doesn't take concubines."

After saying this, she regretted it.She herself is a concubine now, why bother to emphasize this point.

"It's rare." Ba Ye said.Few people in the officialdom do not take concubines.If you don't look for it yourself, some will be delivered to your door.

Although Mao Tongtong's Ama official position is not high, he still has a fifth rank.It is really rare to be able to live with only his first wife.

"Master, the chess is ready." Chen Guo came over at this time and said.

"Let's go, come with me for two rounds, to see how good you are." Ba Ye said.

Mao Tongtong obediently followed Ba Ye and sat by the chessboard.

Mao Mingxuan's chess skills are not bad, and he can also rank well in Yangzhou City.It's a pity that Mao Tongtong thinks playing chess is too brain-intensive, so he doesn't want to study it after only learning a little bit.

This meeting with Eighth Master, he will be abused in minutes and there is no room for parrying.

"It seems that your elder brother's chess skills are not very good." Ba Ye chuckled lightly.

"Brother Numaid is very good at chess!" Mao Tongtong immediately retorted, "It's because this servant didn't study hard."

"Oh?" Ba Ye took a look at Mao Tongtong. It seemed that the Mao brothers and sisters had a very good relationship, and the way they tried their best to maintain it made people envious.

"The servant just said that it was not good." Mao Tongtong said depressedly.

When the chess strength is not equal, both players will suffer a lot.Before at home, even if Mao Mingxuan spoiled her, he would not play chess with her easily.It is too easy to win, Mao Tongtong is not happy; but if he wants to lose, he will play very hard.

"I thought you were modest, but I didn't expect you to be so sincere." After speaking, Ba Ye got up and walked to the desk.

Mao Tongtong pursed his lips, got up quickly and followed.

"Grind the ink." Eighth Master said.

This Mao Tongtong is good at it.In the past, she loved watching Mao Mingxuan's handwriting the most. The flowing posture made her feel envious when she saw it.At that time, when Mao Mingxuan was practicing calligraphy, she would grind ink aside, and the siblings would often stay in the study for an hour or two.
