Chapter 425 Reminder
"Ye Ke said it so smoothly, as if he had done it before." Mao Tongtong laughed.

"Didn't I see you do it!" Ba Ye said, "It's not difficult, just talk to my son."

"Don't you think it's strange? You have a belly?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"I thought it was weird at first. But when I saw the child's response, I found it quite interesting." Master Ba laughed.

Just as he was talking, Mao Tongtong's stomach made a series of gurgling sounds.

Ba Ye looked up at Mao Tongtong, his eyes were filled with disbelief, and he said, "Are you hungry?"

Mao Tongtong blushed immediately, and said, "Isn't it normal to be hungry after a night of sleep?"

Ba Ye exclaimed: "Tongtong's food intake is really incomparable! I ate a lot for supper last night!"

"It's not that slaves can eat it! It's Tuantuan!" Mao Tongtong struggled to justify himself.

Ba Ye laughed and said, "It's a good thing to be able to eat! I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it!" He shouted out.

After eating breakfast, Mao Tongtong remembered what he was going to ask Ba Ye last night, and said: "Master, last time you said that you would pay attention to the elder brother's year-end evaluation for slaves. What's the result?"

"Ah, that's it! Your eldest brother's evaluation is good, he's a top grade." Ba Ye said.

"Really! I know that big brother is the best!" Mao Tongtong immediately became happy.It is really good for a new official to be able to judge top grades in the first year of his tenure.What's more, Mao Mingxuan went to a place that had just been hit by a disaster and the officialdom was shaken.

"Your elder brother is a pragmatic person." Ba Ye said.He has attracted people's attention, so he naturally knows better.

After Mao Mingxuan went to Zibo County, farming was the most important thing.Fields are the guarantee for the survival of the people.Starting from here, it can be seen that he is not the kind of official who wants to leave after getting the credit.He is a person who really cares about the people and does things in a down-to-earth manner.

"Of course!" Mao Tongtong was quite proud, and said, "Ama, a servant, is also a pragmatic person!" It's a pity that Mao Chengyun's temper is too straightforward, and there is no one in the court, so promotion is difficult.

But Mao Mingxuan was different. After all, he fell into Kangxi's eyes.As long as you make some political achievements, promotion will be much easier than ordinary officials.

"Your uncle, the situation this year is not very good." Ba Ye said.

"Huh?" Mao Tongtong was stunned. Although Uncle Chen treated her well, she never cared about you or his career.It's just a relative, promotion or demotion doesn't seem to have much to do with her.

"This year's evaluation is only in the middle." Ba Ye said, and then added, "Your uncle has won the middle grade for two consecutive years."

"Will you be demoted for three consecutive years?" Mao Tongtong asked curiously.

"That's not the case." Ba Ye said: "But such officials can be replaced at any time. Once they are judged as inferior again, the official department will report to Huang Ama."

"Is it difficult to be a ceremony officer?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"What do Tongtong think?" Ba Ye asked back with a smile.

"Your servant doesn't know either! I have never been an official before!" Mao Tongtong said speechlessly.

"It's easy to do without an official." Ba Ye said, "Especially a Beijing official."

Mao Tongtong understands this point.Although Beijing officials are of higher rank, their interpersonal relationships are more complicated.And it is at the feet of the emperor, every move is more concerned.

"My servant's uncle has been in the capital for more than ten years. Whether he is a good official or not is not a servant's concern. If it is convenient for you to mention something, please mention it. If it is not convenient, then don't worry about it." Mao Tongtong said.

In her opinion, if Uncle Chen hasn't figured out how to be an official for more than ten years, it would be no pity to be demoted.But Uncle Chen treats her pretty well after all, with Ba Ye's relationship, it's better if he can help her.

"That aunt of yours is still a bit lacking in character." Ba Ye said.

Why did Uncle Chen mention the Su family again?Mao Tongtong was taken aback for a moment before he understood.It seems that it's not that Uncle Chen has a problem with being an official, but that Mrs. Su has a problem with her conduct, probably because she caused trouble for Uncle Chen outside.Then others put the blame on Uncle Chen.

"Then, servant girl, please write a letter to uncle." Mao Tongtong said.When it comes to the Su family, it's not easy for Ba Ye to talk about Uncle Chen directly.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Ba Ye said.

"Slave understands." Mao Tongtong nodded, diplomacy is also very important in the officialdom.

On this day, Ba Ye stayed in Mao Tongtong's place for a whole day, and continued to stay in Yileyuan at night.On the other side of the main courtyard, Guo Luoluo went back to Prince An's Mansion accompanied by Madam Lei, Pomegranate and Furong.

When she returned home when she first got married, Ba Ye accompanied her back home.So this time, many people in the mansion asked.She excused it by saying that Ba Ye was busy and had no time.But she could see the mockery in those people's eyes.She kept her expression on the face, but she couldn't help scolding all these people in her heart.

After all, she was just a sojourner.Although she came back with a car full of gifts, there were not many people who really cared about her.

Originally, she had some expectations about returning to Prince An's Mansion.But last night I had a quarrel with Ba Ye, and seeing the snobbish faces of these people again today, I immediately felt that I lost interest, and I didn't even use lunch, so I just sat for a while and went home.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.Eighth Master finally went to the main courtyard last night.Early this morning, he will enter the palace with Guo Luoluo.

After being left out in the cold for a few days, Guo Luoluo's expression was normal, and he didn't show any displeasure.Ba Ye acted as if nothing had happened.

"You should wear more clothes today. We will return late tonight, so be careful of catching cold. Your body is just right, so don't bear it if you feel any discomfort." Ba Ye warned.

"Thank you, Lord Baylor, for your concern." Guo Luoluo smiled, but his expression was weary.

In the past two days, she began to experience early pregnancy reactions, morning sickness and drowsiness, and she seemed to be listless.In fact, she didn't want to enter the palace.But Ba Ye didn't say to ask her for leave, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only cheer up.

It is also a coincidence that the sun was still shining the past few days, and the weather was obviously warmer.There was a strong wind yesterday afternoon, and the sky was very gloomy.In the middle of the night, it snowed heavily.So the outside world will be a piece of white.

Guo Luoluoshi was wearing a fox fur cloak and holding a hand warmer, still feeling a bit chilly.Ba Ye didn't ride a horse either, and rode in a carriage with her.It's just that neither of them had any interest in talking today, and they were silent all the way.

Horse-drawn carriages were not allowed to enter the palace, and when they reached the gate of the palace, both of them got off the carriage, and saw a carriage approaching not far away.

Ba Ye took a look, but didn't take a step, apparently waiting for the carriage to approach.Guo Luoluo followed Eighth Master's gaze, only to realize that it was the carriage from Sibeile Mansion next door.
