Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 1172 What a chic
Mao Tongtong nodded, that's all he can do now.Maybe they stay for a while and get used to it after eating.

Mao Mingxuan really didn't know anything about it.Mao Chengyun did write a letter, but the letter only mentioned the matter of Ba Ye's resignation from the court, and did not mention that Mao Tongtong was going to Sichuan and Sichuan.From Mao Chengyun's point of view, Mao Tongtong mentioned that, but he didn't know when he would arrive, or it was possible to change the route halfway, so he didn't say anything, lest Mao Mingxuan still worry about it.

Therefore, when Mao Tongtong and Ba Ye brought their three children to the gate of the governor's mansion, Mao Mingxuan was still dealing with things in the study.

Ba Ye got out of the car first, and then helped Mao Tongtong down.The three children also got out of the carriage behind them.Although it is morning, the sun in early summer is already very hot, which makes people feel sunburned after standing on the street for a while.

The servants at the door saw that this carriage was parked at the gate, and many people came down, so they took the initiative to go down the steps to inquire.

"Where are you calling from? Are you looking for our lord?"

After all, Ba Ye and the others seemed to be either rich or expensive, and the gatekeeper saw many people all day long, so he suddenly became concerned.

"We're coming to the capital. Are you adults there?" Chen Guo stepped forward and replied.

"The capital city?" The servant guarding the gate was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Can I make a name? The younger ones are also easy to report."

Chen Guo glanced at Ba Ye, saw Ba Ye smiled, and Chen Guo replied, "Just say that it's Master Shi's family who came from the capital to visit relatives."

The fact that Mao Mingxuan's family is in the capital is clear to everyone in the Governor's Mansion.Hearing the word "visiting relatives", the gatekeeper dared not neglect even more, and hurriedly said: "Then wait a moment, the younger one will go to report."

Ba Ye was not in a hurry, he just pulled Mao Tongtong to stand in the shade, and asked a few children to stand up too, so as not to be exposed to the sun.

"Brother, the governor's mansion is very impressive." Mao Tongtong kept looking at the entrance of the mansion.Two big stone lions squatted majestically at the gate of the mansion. The gate was only a few steps up, and it was not much worse than the palace.

"Your brother is not the little county magistrate when he first entered the officialdom." Ba Ye laughed.

The servants guarding the door ran all the way in, and ran into Zhao Furong who was delivering mung bean soup to the study.

"Ma'am, there are guests outside, and they are said to be Master Shi from the capital, visiting relatives." The servant hurriedly said.

"Master Shi from the capital?" Zhao Furong was at a loss.

She and Mao Mingxuan were childhood sweethearts, and both of them had some kind of relatives, so it was cleared up early.After digging up and down for several generations, no one surnamed Shi can be found.Besides, if it can come from the capital, it can only belong to the Mao family.The Mao family has fewer relatives in the capital.

"The young ones are all well-dressed. Oh, by the way, they have three children with them!" the gatekeeper added.

"Three children?" Zhao Furong was taken aback again, and hurriedly asked, "How old is Master Shi?"

"It looks like she's in her early thirties, and Mrs. Shi is even younger." said the gatekeeper.

Zhao Furong had a vague guess in her heart, but felt that it was unlikely, so she said: "You go and invite the guests to sit in the lobby of the front yard first, and let them serve tea and snacks, and I will go and tell the master right away."

"Yes, little one, let's go." The gatekeeper hurriedly ran back.

Only then did Zhao Furong enter the courtyard, and went straight to Mao Mingxuan's study.

"Come in." Mao Mingxuan's indifferent voice came from the door.

Pushing open the door, I saw him sitting in front of the desk and looking at something, his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was serious, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Zhao Furong walked over slowly with light steps, and handed him a bowl of mung bean soup.Mao Mingxuan didn't even look at it, he reached out to take it and took a sip.Probably because the cool mung bean soup made him feel comfortable, his brows relaxed a little.

He drank the bowl without raising his head, and handed out the empty bowl, Zhao Furong took it silently.

When Mao Mingxuan was thinking about problems, he didn't like others to talk, even Zhao Furong did the same.So the series of actions just now were carried out silently, which can be regarded as the tacit understanding between the couple for many years.According to the past habits, Zhao Furong should leave with the food box next, and then close the study door quietly.

But today Zhao Furong did not leave, she still stood quietly.

Mao Mingxuan didn't notice it at first, but after a while, he realized something was wrong.

"Is there something wrong?" He finally put down the things in his hands and looked at Zhao Furong.

"There are guests outside, and it is said that it is Master Shi from the capital, visiting relatives." Zhao Furong briefly explained the situation, "I guess it is Tongtong, because the servants said that they have three children with them."

Mao Mingxuan was startled for a moment, then stood up the next moment, with such a big movement that he bumped into the desk.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" He complained and strode out.

He didn't tell Zhao Furong about Ba Ye's coming down from the court, but he would think of it more and more that it might be Mao Tongtong's family.

Zhao Furong hurriedly followed, muttering: "That's my guess, but I don't think it's possible. Ba Ye is such a busy person, how could he bring Tongtong and the children here? Seeing that you are busy, I think It’s okay to wait.”

Mao Mingxuan also felt that he had lost his composure at this moment, and hurriedly said: "I didn't tell you, the eighth master has retired from the court now, and he has plenty of time. As far as he loves Tongtong, it's not unusual to come to see me."

"Ah? Retired?" Zhao Furong was shocked.It can be said that Ba Ye is in his prime now, why did he retire?

"Have committed a crime?" Zhao Furong asked in a low voice.This is also a normal human reaction.

"Probably not. If you really want to commit a crime, how can you leave Beijing?" Mao Mingxuan said.

"Yes, that's right." Zhao Furong heaved a sigh of relief.As long as it's not a crime, the other reasons don't matter.

The two rushed all the way to the front yard, and stood at the entrance of the lobby and were stunned.

Guessing is one thing, seeing real people is another.

Mao Mingxuan felt his throat choked up and was speechless.And Zhao Furong's eyes were red with excitement.

"Brother, Fu Rong, are you two happy and silly?" Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

Only then did Mao Mingxuan come back to his senses, and hurriedly prepared to salute.

"It's almost free! Now we are not some prince Fujin!" Ba Ye hurriedly said, "It's just my family leaving relatives, so it's awkward to be so polite."

Mao Mingxuan didn't insist, he straightened up and said with a smile: "You guys are too sudden, it's like a dream!"

"It seems that Ama didn't make a small report!" Mao Tongtong laughed.

"When did you set off from the capital? Did the journey go smoothly?" Mao Mingxuan asked before sitting down with Zhao Furong.

Mao Tongtong was waiting for this question, and talked about everything along the way.Mao Mingxuan and Zhao Furong were dumbfounded.

"You guys are really chic." After a long while, Mao Mingxuan held back these words.
