Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 9

"It's good to know." Mrs. Zhang showed a smile on her face, she still tapped Zhang Sirui's forehead with her index finger, and then she didn't say anything.

With today's episode, the next few days will be considered calm.Because of seasickness, Mao Tongtong seldom went out of the cabin, and Zhang Sirui stopped being sarcastic.Mrs. Zhang came to talk to Mrs. Chen from time to time, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

In Yangzhou City, the Mao family father and son sat at the table, looking at the dinner at the table, but they had no appetite.

"Your mother and Tongtong are not here, the house is much deserted." Mao Chengyun resented his husband.

Unlike some of his colleagues, he has a gentle and virtuous first wife at home, and he wants to have a charming concubine, so he really wants to be as beautiful as others.He has always felt that if he wants a family and everything to be prosperous, he should only spoil his first wife!Just like him and the Chen family, although it was the order of the parents, it was the words of the matchmaker.But since their wedding, the two have also raised their eyebrows together, are harmonious and beautiful, and have given birth to a son and a daughter. I don't know how perfect they are.In his heart, he was grateful to Mrs. Chen for caring for her family and giving birth to children, and for loving her more and more.

Now that Mrs. Chen left, he felt uncomfortable as if there was an empty space in his heart.The two have been married for more than ten years, and he and Chen have never been separated!

"I don't know if Erniang and younger sister are seasick, are they eating well, and sleeping well?" Mao Mingxuan also had a worried expression on his face.He has always been filial, and he is also a sister slave. Since Chen Shi and Mao Tongtong set off, he has never felt at ease.

Hearing Mao Mingxuan's words, Mao Chengyun's complexion became even worse, and he said regretfully, "I should have rented a boat for you to escort to Beijing if I knew it earlier. I'm afraid I'd be more at ease!"

Seeing him blaming himself, Mao Mingxuan comforted him and said, "Ama, don't worry too much. The Zhang family travels around all year round, and the boatmen are all experienced. Besides, our maids are also with me. I think Erniang and my younger sister will be fine. .We care about chaos.”

He also knows what the conditions of the family are.I don't want to say too much to make my Ama blame myself even more.Speaking of it, it was because of my sister's bizarre and serious illness that year that she almost invited all the famous doctors in Yangzhou city, and then she got better.Naturally, a lot of money was spent.But the whole family felt it was worth it to save the life of the younger sister.

"That's right, the Zhang family is rich, and there are quite a few people serving on board. Thinking about it, I don't dare to neglect you, Erniang and Tongtong." Mao Chengyun nodded, and his face looked better.

"Ama, have you verified what your son told you two days ago?" Mao Mingxuan suddenly remembered that day when he saw the person who vaguely was Eighth Master.

"Yeah." Mao Chengyun nodded, "I have already heard about this matter, but I don't know when he will come. It seems that he came to investigate something. It should have nothing to do with my errand."

"My son has one more thing to tell Ama." Mao Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, and told about the two encounters with Ba Ye that day when he took Mao Tongtong shopping.

"Have you spoken?" Mao Chengyun asked.

Mao Mingxuan shook his head, "No. It's just that we ran into each other and didn't say a word."

"Then why are you nervous? You didn't know him at the time, and it was normal if he didn't salute. Besides, he is in a low-clothes outside, and I'm afraid he doesn't want people to recognize him." Mao Chengyun said indifferently.

It's not his turn to be a fifth-rank official to deal with such upper-level figures.As long as my son and daughter don't do anything wrong in front of Ba Ye, they won't even have the chance to meet each other in the future, and there's no need to worry about anything.

"My son is not nervous, but." After thinking about it, Mao Mingxuan didn't say anything. He was probably too nervous about his sister, and he was afraid that Ba Ye would take a fancy to her beauty.Now that I think about it, the eighth master didn't even give them a look, so he was really worrying for nothing.

"Just what?" Mao Chengyun asked.

"It's nothing." Mao Mingxuan smiled and said, "Ama, hurry up and eat, the food will be cold in a while."

Mao Chengyun didn't ask any more questions, and the father and son buried their heads in eating.

But the eighth master, who was talked about by the two of them, was currently living in the mansion of the magistrate of Yangzhou.

"Master, the magistrate sent over two maids, saying they are to take care of the master's daily life." Chen Guo, his personal eunuch, came over and bowed his head.This time Ba Ye was sent to Jiangnan by secret order and took him alone to serve him.

"Send it back, just say that I don't need it here." Eighth Master said with a cold expression, with a hint of displeasure.

"Yes, the servant will go back now." Chen Guo replied respectfully, and went out to deal with the two maids.

This magistrate can be regarded as flattering on the horse's leg.Their master is not that lustful!Besides, does any woman want to get close to the prince?Don't even think about it.The eighth master was here on a mission according to the emperor's secret decree, but he took two women back, what does the emperor think?
Outside the house, two well-dressed ladies of Ming Dynasty were waiting expectantly.Seeing Chen Guo walking out, she hurriedly lowered her head, as if a little shy.

There was a sneer at the corner of Chen Guo's mouth, she was so delicate, she couldn't be a maid.

"Wherever the two girls are going back and forth, our master said that we don't need many people to wait on us, so as not to make noise."

As soon as the two of them heard this, they raised their heads, showing a look of disbelief, and the woman who sent it to the door didn't want it?Although they didn't expect to be able to go back with this master who was said to be from Beijing, they were overwhelmed to be picked and sent by the magistrate.It's so embarrassing to send it back without even seeing anyone!Maybe the magistrate's anger will make them have no good fruit to eat.

"It's getting late at night, let's invite the two of you back. Our lord, we need to rest too." Chen Guo ignored the change of expression on the faces of the two, turned around and entered the room, closing the door.

"There is nothing to be courteous about. It's either adultery or stealing." Ba Ye blew on the tea in the cup and said calmly.

Chen Guo stood aside, hands down, silent.

The two people outside the house felt unwilling and wanted to knock on the door to fight for it again, but they were stopped by two guards guarding the door.

Looking at the cold sword in front of them, the two took a step back in fright, looked at each other, and went back in despair.

"Confiscated?" In the study, the prefect of Yangzhou knocked on the desk, looking thoughtful.

"I didn't let you in at all, and I let the eunuch close to me dismiss me if I didn't see you." The person on the side replied.

"If you don't like beauty, does that mean you love money?" The magistrate of Yangzhou was not angry, but continued to ponder.

"Why don't the subordinates try again?" the person who just replied said humanely.

"No need!" Yangzhou prefect waved his hand, "We'll wait for a few days to observe. I don't know why this master came to live in our prefect's yamen on purpose?"

"Could it be?" the man frowned, with a worried look on his face.

"What are you panicking about? A brat, maybe he's just playing tricks." Yangzhou prefect said with a sullen face.
