Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 18
That night, Mao Tongtong slept soundly.

Although I have changed to a new environment, I sleep on the pillow I am used to, and I am still surrounded by the peach blossoms and lotus that I have been serving since childhood.And her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, slept in the next room.Compared with when she was in Yangzhou, she has nothing to worry about.

She slept well until dawn, and when Taohua came to wake Mao Tongtong up, she was still dreaming sweetly!
"Girl, it's time to get up. Lotus has already gone to pick up breakfast." Tao Hua's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Well, wait another quarter of an hour." Mao Tongtong turned over and buried himself under the quilt again.

It's only March now, it's spring sleepy.

Taohua smiled outside the tent, "Girl, Madam will be here in a quarter of an hour."

"Okay. Let's get up then." Mao Tongtong said helplessly.If she wasn't at home, Erniang wouldn't let her get up early!
But it’s good to get used to it from now on!For the next year or so, she will not be able to do as she pleases at home.

"The weather is good today! I see that the eldest girl and the second girl are both up, and the girl is getting up too late, so it's a bit bad." Tao Hua said as she opened the curtain.

"Okay, I got it! Little Long-winded!" Mao Tongtong looked helplessly at his worrying girl.

Taohua smiled and helped Mao Tongtong out of bed, and put on her shoes.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen came over before Mao Tongtong got dressed.

"I thought you didn't get up!" Chen said with a smile.

"Er Niang, don't laugh at me!" Mao Tongtong muttered, "I promise to get up early tomorrow!"

Chen shook her head with a smile, and sat aside to wait for her to dress up.

"In two days, Er Niang will take you to the jewelry shops in the capital and buy you two sets of good jewelry." Chen suddenly said.

"Er Niang, no need. I have a box of jewelry here!" Mao Tongtong quickly refused.The environment at home is not particularly good, so why bother with that face.Besides, because she was staying at her uncle's house this time, Er Niang had already prepared a lot of things for her uncle and aunt.There are also two cousins ​​and that cousin, each of whom has prepared a gift.

Although my uncle definitely doesn't know how to accept money, Er Niang still needs to know how to be a human being so that she won't be looked down upon here.

Last night, Er Niang deliberately stuffed her with another 100 taels of silver, fearing that she would have some expenses here this year.

Calculated in this way, I am afraid that the family's savings have been spent a lot.How could she have the heart to let Er Niang spend money again.

"You are also a big girl. You should have two sets of better jewelry. It was Er Niang's negligence." Chen felt a little distressed.She is just such a daughter, she should be pampered.But because of family circumstances, my daughter suffered a lot of grievances.Seeing the two daughters of her younger brother's family yesterday, the ones on her head and the ones on her hands are better than her own daughters, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Mao Tongtong turned to look at Mrs. Chen, sighed in her heart, got up, went to hold her hand, and said softly: "Emiang, I stay in the back house all day, who can I buy good jewelry for? Are you really There is no need to buy anything for me. When I return home next year, Er Niang will prepare a large dowry for me. Our family is not as good as my uncle’s, so why bother to put on a facade! Besides, my brother will have to take the imperial examination in two years. There are more places to spend your money.”

Seeing Mao Tongtong being so sensible, Mrs. Chen felt even more uncomfortable.But she also knew that her daughter was right.My eldest son is a material for studying, so he must take the imperial examination.Jiangnan has always had a large number of students, and the imperial examination is more difficult than elsewhere.At that time, not only will it cost money to go out for the exam, board and lodging, but there will inevitably be some places to take care of.My little savings are really stretched.

"We have wronged Tongtong." Mrs. Chen touched Mao Tongtong's face lovingly, and smiled, "Don't worry. Your dowry was prepared by your mother since you were born, and it will definitely make you look good." Get married lightly."

"That's all right!" Mao Tongtong laughed, leaning on Chen's shoulder and said, "Er Niang should stop talking about wronging my daughter. When my daughter was seriously ill, the doctors would have given up. If it weren't for Ama and Er Niang A lot of money is paid for medicine for my daughter, how can my daughter survive to this day! To have a family like A Ma, Er Niang and elder brother, my daughter is already much more blessed than others!"

"Tong Tong is the best at comforting Er Niang." Chen said with a tearful smile, "Okay, Er Niang will never talk about it again."

"Girl, madam, breakfast is here." At this moment, He Hua came in with two food boxes.

"Er Niang, I'm so hungry after breakfast." Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

Seeing the always smiling face, the sadness in Chen's heart is gone.There is an old saying that children who love to laugh are blessed, and her life will be smooth and happy for Tongtong.

After the mother and daughter had finished their breakfast, the Chen sisters also came over.

"Aunt, cousin, the weather is fine today, let us be a guide and show you the situation at home." Chen Ruzhu said with a smile.

"Okay, then please trouble the eldest sister and the second sister." Chen nodded with a smile.

The Chen Mansion is not very big, but it takes about half an hour to get there.Because of Chen Ruzhu's detailed introduction along the way, Chen Shi and Mao Tongtong listened very carefully.Especially Mao Tongtong, she will stay here for a year, so she has to keep a clear record of the situation in the mansion.

At noon, of course, I had lunch with Su Shi again.In the afternoon, Chen Junjie came back early and happily told Mrs. Chen that he would take a rest tomorrow and take everyone shopping together.

Mrs. Su said she would stay to watch the house and asked Chen Junjie to bring her two daughters with her.Chen Junjie readily agreed.He enjoys watching his two daughters and niece develop a bond.

At this moment, Mao Tongtong discovered that the only son of her uncle's family looked a bit like Xiao Tongtong.Most of the time seems to be in his aunt's yard, almost no one can be seen.I don't know how often her uncle goes to his aunt's place to rest for a night, so he can see this son.

From this aspect, it seems that the Su family's position in the mansion is still very stable.

But Mao Tongtong didn't have the time to think about it.She was very excited to learn that she could visit the capital tomorrow.

In her last life, although she was not from Beijing, she also went there when traveling.When she followed Mrs. Chen to Beijing two days ago, she was restrained by Mrs. Chen in the carriage all the way and couldn't look out. She didn't know what Beijing was like in ancient times.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it sounds very tall!She really wanted to get to know him better.

At this time, Eighth Master also rushed to Beijing, and went directly to the palace to meet the Holy Father on errands.

When he came out of the Qianqing Palace, there was already a gentle smile on his face that made people freshen up.

Chen Guo hurriedly followed, he didn't need to open his mouth to know that Ba Ye would go to Chuxiu Palace to see Concubine Liang Shu.My grandfather is the most filial, as long as he enters the palace, he will definitely go to pay his respects.It's just that every time I have to greet Concubine Hui before I can see Concubine Liangshu.
