Chapter 1135 Mao Mingxuan's Proposal
One year is fleeting, and when summer comes again, Mao Tongtong, accompanied by Ba Ye, returns to the Mao Mansion to celebrate the anniversary with Mao Chengyun and Mao Mingxuan.

Although time passed quickly, the pain disappeared slowly.Mao Tongtong couldn't help crying again in front of Chen's spiritual tablet.

"Emiang, I miss you." She muttered to herself, "Why haven't you come into my dreams this year?"

"Tongtong, mother-in-law will definitely not want to see you so sad." Ba Ye comforted softly at the side: "She doesn't sleep, maybe she is doing well there, and she doesn't want you to worry about it."

"Really?" Mao Tongtong looked at the spiritual tablet and slowly smiled, "I hope it's as Master said."

"In my memory, Er Niang always had a smile on her face. She definitely hopes that we can also be happy." Mao Mingxuan also said.

He lived in Beijing for a year, because he didn't have much to do in Ding Youzhong, so he was often dragged into the mansion by Ba Ye to talk.So now it's more casual to speak in front of Ba Ye.

After worship, the family gathered together for lunch.After Mao Chengyun went to rest in the afternoon, Ba Ye and Mao Tongtong mentioned to Mao Mingxuan the matter of continuing Mao Chengyun.

During this year, Mao Mingxuan tried it occasionally, but Mao Chengyun had deep feelings for the Chen family, so he was naturally unwilling.Hearing the two mentioned it again today, he said, "I'll take it into consideration. Ama won't agree."

"But you will be an official again in the future. And with your ability, the emperor will probably let you go somewhere. Although we are in the capital, it is impossible to come to the mansion to visit father-in-law every day." Ba Ye said.

Mao Tongtong has also thought a lot this year, even if Mao Chengyun does not remarry, it would be good to have a concubine by his side to take care of him.A servant is a servant after all, different from a wife or concubine.So she nodded in agreement at this time.

"Er Niang has just been there for a year, so Ama won't be thinking about it. Besides, I can stay in Beijing for two years, so let's talk about it after two years." Mao Mingxuan said.

What Ba Ye said made sense, he had to think about it.Although his ultimate goal is to be able to become an official in Beijing, from the current point of view, it is estimated that he still needs a few years of experience outside, and it is really not reassuring to let Mao Chengyun stay alone in the mansion.

"Brother and we agree." Mao Tongtong said: "I'll look for candidates slowly. I need to find someone who is down-to-earth and careful."

"Well, my sister will have to worry about this." Mao Mingxuan nodded.

But Ba Ye said: "I'm afraid this matter will not be delayed for two years."

"Why?" Mao Tongtong was taken aback.

Mao Mingxuan also looked at Ba Ye puzzled.

"The emperor asked me about you a few days ago." Ba Ye looked at Mao Mingxuan and said, "Your Ding You may end early."

Mao Mingxuan frowned slightly, "The emperor approved me for three years."

"It was at the beginning, and now is now." Ba Ye said: "The emperor is now focusing on cultivating the prince. Young and promising people like you are all prepared by the emperor for the prince. You can't wait for the prince to ascend the throne. There are still a bunch of uncles in the court." busy in class."

This is straightforward.Now Ba Ye and the others are in the court, and they are brothers with the emperor. Even if they hold power, the emperor can easily suppress them.But it's different when the prince ascends the throne. They have all become elders. If they hold important power again, it will be difficult for the prince to control them.For the stability of the court, the emperor naturally had to plan in advance.

Mao Mingxuan fell silent when he heard this.He has always been smart, so he naturally understands the meaning of Ba Ye's words, and he also knows that these words are true.

"If my brother wants to leave Beijing early, then this matter must be put on the agenda." Mao Tongtong said.

"Emiang's anniversary has just passed today. I'll ask Ama in a few days." Mao Mingxuan let out a sigh of relief, "The emperor wants me to end Ding You early and give me some time to prepare. I won't Make an imperial decree today, and take office tomorrow."

"That's right." Eighth Master nodded, "Maybe it's after the Mid-Autumn Festival, maybe it's the beginning of spring next year, that's not certain."

"If you don't renew the strings and just take concubines, it should be easier to find candidates?" Mao Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Even the girls born in our house can also be considered. Although Ama is a bit older, she is still strong. , we brothers and sisters don't interfere in the affairs of the house, being a concubine is equivalent to being the mistress, which is very respectable."

Mao Tongtong's eyes lit up, "What Big Brother said is true. I haven't thought of it yet!"

For the family-born sons in ancient times, because the deed of selling one's body was in the hands of the master's family, they were servants of the master's family for generations, and even marriages were mostly done by the servants and stewards of the house.But if you become the concubine of the male master, you will turn over.Although they are still slaves, but without the mistress, the status and power of this concubine's room are different.If she can still have children, maybe she can get the grace of getting out of slavery.

Ba Ye also nodded, "This is a good way. Such a candidate is more reliable, and it is not easy to have other thoughts."

"Let Furong pay attention." Mao Tongtong said.

Furong has been the housekeeper for one year now, and she is very familiar with the servants in the mansion, so she is the perfect choice.

"Okay, leave this matter to me." Fu Rong was straightforward and did not refuse.

After discussing this matter, Mao Tongtong and Ba Ye returned to the mansion.

In the afternoon, Ba Ye had something to discuss with Jiu Ye, so he went out.Mao Tongtong sat alone by the window and wondered if there was any suitable candidate beside him.With this thought, she saw the two maids Qingzhu and Qingmei beside her.

It stands to reason that Qingzhu and Qingmei should have been married long ago.But after Mao Tongtong asked several times, the two girls bluntly said that they didn't want to get married, they just wanted to stay by Mao Tongtong's side for the rest of their lives.However, Qingcong and Qingye have already married off.

"Is anyone of you willing to accompany me, Ama?" Mao Tongtong asked.

These are the two girls she has used since she was a child. Not to mention the work of serving others, they are definitely careful and considerate enough.No matter who these two people are serving Mao Chengyun, she is very relieved.Moreover, both of them came from Mao's mansion, and their parents are still working in the mansion.If he could go back to Mao Mansion, it would be easier to reunite with his family than it is now.

"Fu Jin, you, tell a joke." Qingmei's expression froze for a moment, "I said that I would accompany Fujin for the rest of my life."

Qingzhu was also taken aback for a moment, never expecting Mao Tongtong to ask this question.

"You all know what I discussed with my elder brother today. I just ran through the people in the mansion over there in my mind, and there is really no one more suitable than you." Mao Tongtong said seriously: "Of course, I still In that sentence, I will not force you to marry, I still hope that you will live your life according to your heart. So, if you don't want to, I won't be angry, just look for someone. "
