Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 16 I Met My Uncle

There were two young girls sitting in the main room, when they saw someone coming in, they immediately got up and greeted them.

"This is the eldest sister and the second sister." Su introduced them to Chen with a smile.

In fact, she didn't need to tell her that there were only two girls in this house who were about the same age as Mao Tongtong.

"I've seen the first cousin, the second cousin." Mao Tongtong was still very well-behaved at this moment, and quickly saluted.

"Oh, this little sister's smile is so sweet, people like it at the first sight!" Ruzhu had already come over and took Mao Tongtong's arm, her eyebrows and eyes crooked while smiling.

Ruyu over there just stood and looked over, without Ruzhu's enthusiasm.

Mao Tongtong smiled back at the hot and cold sisters.It was only the first time we met, and it took a long time to know who it was.

"Come here and meet your aunt." Su Shi waved to the two of them.

"They're all my own children, so you're welcome." Chen quickly waved his hands.

However, Su Ruzhu and Su Ruyu saluted in an orderly manner, not sloppy.

I have seen Li sit down, and a servant girl brought tea and snacks up, Su Shi said again: "You have worked hard all the way, and I will let Mother Jiang take you to rest in a while. The house is tidied up, if you If you feel something is missing, just tell me!"

"It's already very troublesome. Of course, your arrangements couldn't be more comprehensive." Chen said with a smile.

They are guests, so they can really treat them as their own home.

After several people exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Madam Jiang, whom Mrs. Su said, took Mrs. Chen and Mao Tongtong to rest.

"Emiang, I'll go with my aunt and cousin." Su Ruzhu got up and said.

"That's fine, you live in your yard on the left and right." Su Shi nodded.

Su Ruyu stayed behind, and when Mao Tongtong and the others left, she leaned into Su's arms and said, "Emiang, just like her, she will learn the rules with us? I don't think she can be selected no matter how good the rules are!"

"Whether you are selected or not is not necessarily based on appearance! How many times has Er Niang told you, don't always look down on others! Your Ama is only a fourth-rank official, and even if you are selected, you will probably be a concubine. This point is no different from your cousin." Su Shi said displeased.

In the past, I only thought of her as a little girl, so I loved her very much.In addition, her appearance is outstanding, and she is always praised by others, so she becomes even more proud.As time goes by, the eyes can't tolerate others.

When Su's found out, Su Ruyu's temperament was no longer easy to change.She can only try her best to teach her more before the draft.

It's just that Su Ruyu couldn't hear this the most, so she immediately said: "Even if you are a concubine, it's different! Most of the concubines who are favored live better than the main wife! If you can enter the palace to serve the emperor, then you are a concubine, not ordinary concubine!"

"You don't even know how to be ashamed!" Su Shi yelled with his eyes wide open.She didn't expect Su Ruyu to have the intention of entering the palace!
Although her master specially invited the mother in the palace to teach the two sisters how to behave, in Su's heart, she still hoped that neither daughter would be chosen.

Just like what she said just now, Chen Junjie is only a fourth-rank official, and this official position is really not high.If the two daughters are selected, no matter whether they are entered into the palace, referred to the prince's backyard, or allocated to the clan's children, they will only be destined to be concubines!
She herself is a concubine, and she hates concubines the most in her life.When she thought that she was only such two precious bumps, but she wanted to be a concubine for others, she felt uncomfortable.

If she loses the election, she will definitely find a good home for her daughters.

How could she not be surprised when she learned of Su Ruyu's thoughts now!How can you not be angry!
"Emiang said it first, so I can't say anymore? Besides, the draft will be held next year, isn't that what's decided!" Su Ruyu looked indifferent.

"You, you should really learn the rules!" Su Shi said angrily.

"Don't worry, Er Niang, I will definitely learn the rules!" Su Ruyu said, "If you don't learn the rules well, you will be laughed at when you enter the palace!"

Su's headache completely ached!

In the evening, when Chen Junjie came back, the whole family sat together.

Mao Tongtong naturally wants to greet Chen Junjie.So there was another intimate scene where the uncle and the niece met.

From this uncle who was a direct relative, Mao Tongtong really felt the sincere love.

This is much more comfortable than Su Shi's polite enthusiasm.

Her uncle is still very young, he looks like he is only in his twenties.But according to Mrs. Chen, Chen Junjie is also in his early thirties this year.It is not easy to become a fourth-rank Beijing official.

That night, Mao Tongtong also met her uncle's only concubine, Mrs. Hu, who is already the son of Mrs. Hu, and also her uncle's only son, Chen Lingyun.

Mao Tongtong believed that a concubine's room should be a servant of color, so she was not surprised to see Mrs. Hu, who was even better looking than Mrs. Su.

But what surprised her was that Hu's son was not raised under Su's name, but by herself!

After three years in ancient times, Mao Tongtong still knew some common sense.At least this concubine cannot raise children.Children born to concubines cannot be called concubines, but only aunts.

Those like Su who can't have a son by themselves will usually raise the son born in their concubine's room under their own name.

But this is Mao Tongtong's first day in the mansion, even if there are a hundred question marks in her heart, she will hold back.

The dinner was enjoyable, but Mao Tongtong ate it very badly.I just felt that everyone had fake smiles on their faces, and they ate with restraint, which made her, who added the second bowl of rice, immediately become everyone's focus!
"It seems that Tongtong has suffered a lot along the way. It's good to come to my uncle's house, the cook in my house is pretty good!" Chen Junjie relieved Mao Tongtong with a smile.

Mao Tongtong doesn't feel embarrassed by herself, it's not her style to not eat enough for the sake of face!
Mrs. Chen also knew her daughter's temperament, and she was at her own brother's house, so she didn't feel anything.

On the contrary, other people's reactions are bigger.

After all, Su Shi is also the head of the house, although she was surprised in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.

Su Ruzhu had a smile on her face, thinking that Mao Tongtong like this was very real and cute, not artificial at all.

But Su Ruyu's eyes flashed a trace of disdain.I want to be selected even with such a vulgar appearance!That's unless the nobles in the palace are all blind!

And Aunt Hu was only concentrating on taking care of Chen Lingyun's meal, she didn't seem to notice anything on the table.

Smiling at his amiable uncle, Mao Tongtong grinned and said, "Uncle, I have a big appetite, so don't dislike me for increasing your family's kitchen expenses when I come!"

"Haha, I don't mind it! You shouldn't be polite at your uncle's house!" Chen Junjie laughed even happier!I like this niece who dares to joke with him even more!
Seeing that her younger brother really liked Mao Tongtong, Mrs. Chen was also relieved.

The Su family looked at their master and Mao Tongtong in surprise, and became more and more aware.
