Daughter Raiders

Chapter 11 Backer
After dressing Tao Ran in the big outer clothes and carrying her off the kang, Cui'e wanted to take her away with Hongxia, Mama Yang and others.

Tao Ran, however, nailed his feet to the ground, didn't speak, just looked around obstinately.

She lived here for 16 years in her last life, and it would be a lie if she said she didn't miss it; but...there was indeed a lot of her sadness and helplessness left here. After thinking about it, she didn't need any persuasion, and smiled He raised his head and said let's go, and he took a step resolutely.

Cui'e couldn't help secretly approving.

The sixth girl is too much to stay for a while, and too little to stay for a short time. If a six-year-old child is so deliberate...she doesn't believe it. She can only say that this girl is born smart enough. I am afraid that the old lady will be very fond of it early on.

The group arrived at Pine Age Hall, and it was already past the time for the girls to pay their respects to the old lady. After hearing from the gatekeeper that the girls had all left, Cui'e felt more and more that she was right. The little hand in his hand was clenched tightly, and it was even sweat-stained, which made people uncomfortable.

Tao Ran, as if unconscious, followed Cui'e into the courtyard obediently, and then all the way into the hall of the main house, but his heart turned a few times silently.

You must know that in her previous life, when Cui'e was only 19 years old, she married the son of the accountant Meng, and came back to serve the old lady after two months of marriage, and became the lady in charge of the inner courtyard after a short time; What's going on here, could it be that Cui'e never thought about being a straight lady, but instead had other ideas?

But that's not right either.Even if Cui'e has the idea of ​​climbing high, what's the use of currying favor with a six-year-old girl?You must know that the old lady in Pine Age Hall is the real Buddha!
But then she thought of Xianyun in her father's study.Xianyun from her previous life later became her father's housemate, and she became pregnant in the third year following her father's release. She returned to the capital to raise a baby and wait for delivery, but she died twice...

Isn't Xianyun Cui'e's own sister?Could it be that Cui'e knew that Xianyun was in a bad situation in the third room, so she wanted to take this opportunity to treat her better, which was a disguised form of suppressing her mother?
If so, things will be difficult.Tao Ran lowered his head slightly and frowned.

In order not to let Cui'e get her way, she had to explicitly reject this girl's overtures, but wouldn't that be a slap in the face to her grandmother?Even more direct than Cui'e slapping her mother in the face with her hand?

Just take one step at a time!If she is willing to put more thought into it, it is not impossible to balance the two phases... But she is not willing to think deeply, and has no time to think deeply—the old lady has already called Cui'e to lead her into the Xici room.

Seeing that Cuijuan had already spread the futon under the kang in Xicijian, Tao Ran immediately let go of Cui'e's hand, stretched her short legs and knelt down on the futon, kowtowed three times to the old lady, and when she raised her head again, she was not satisfied. Happy but not sad: "Sister Tao pays respects to grandma. From now on, sister Tao will trouble grandma to take care of her, and ask her to teach her strictly. Sister Tao will definitely obey her grandmother."

The old lady chuckled.

If other children said this, she would have to consider whether it was true or not, but when this child said it, she really believed it.Mrs. Yu treats this child so disliked, why did this child resist half a time and cause a little trouble?

There is an old saying that there are no parents who are not right, but if every child can do what Sister Tao does, then there is no need to repeat the old saying every day...

"Hurry up and help Sixth Miss up, and hug her to sit on the kang!" The old lady greeted Cui'e with a smile.

A few rough women came first carrying the boxes and cages, Cuijuan kept watching in the east wing outside, for fear that the women's hands and feet would be unsteady, and then break the good things in the boxes; wait until the box is opened After checking them one by one, when she returned to the main room, Cuijuan couldn't bear it, how could the old madam not understand why?

"Since you have moved to grandma's place, let your mother take you to grandma's small storeroom after noon to pick out some decorations that you like, and don't ask your father to complain that grandma is stingy when you come back," the old lady instructed. tao ran.

Tao Ran's small face was full of fear: "Grandmother can't do it, mother, mother said, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal..."

The old lady's complexion suddenly darkened.

This Mrs. Yu is really an unworthy thing!Does the majestic Shangshu Mansion need to treat the girl's house harshly with a few decorations? It's not like putting gold mountains and silver mountains in every boudoir!
Those who don't know the inside story will think that the Yu family is diligent and thrifty in managing the family, and will even praise her as worthy of being the daughter of the Yu family in Kaifeng, and her character is also born noble, but in fact, she is trying to make the six girls into a small family!
They are both the daughters of the Yu family. Sister Yan is more luxurious than any other girl, but Sister Tao is poorer than any other girl, and even inferior to the concubine daughter of the eldest and second wife. What is Yu's plan to do? ? !

Tao Ran carefully looked at the expression of the old lady, and lowered his voice a bit: "Did Sister Tao say something wrong to make grandma unhappy?"

The old lady felt a little distressed, she quickly put on a smiling face, and waved her hands: "It's none of your business, grandma wants to think carefully about how to make your house more delicate without being too luxurious. But it's a problem."

While Tao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly sneered.

She is not disobedient to her mother, really, she is just telling the truth; one is a mother and the other is a grandmother, if she is asked to choose...of course she must choose the stronger one to obey and rely on, right?

This is how people live in this world, and they lose their concubines when they are in love; if she is still like the previous life, no matter whether a certain person is worth relying on and trusting, she will obey and obey with a black eye, not knowing detours, not knowing how to start anew. Choice, wouldn't she live in vain again!
It was also at this time that the third girl, Yanran, was in the Xieqiu Hall. Yanran was sitting on the big kang facing the window in the Xici room with her waist upright, her small face was stretched like a clay sculpture, and her voice was so cold that she didn't look like a nine-year-old child. She asked her maid Yuan Dai in a low voice: "Did you really see clearly, those rough envoys carrying boxes and cages came out of Huichun Garden?"

Yanran came back from Pine Age Hall to pay her respects, and happened to meet women carrying boxes on the way; that road was the way for Sanfang to go to Pine Age Hall, but the women were not the servants of Sanfang, but this one. The servants in the inner courtyard, so although Yanran wanted to stop them to ask, she didn't dare to speak.

Then she hinted that her adoptive mother went back to catch up with the group of women and wanted to find out more carefully, but those women did not agree with Qi Mama's account... only said that they followed the old lady's order to run errands.

"Returning to the girl, I really saw clearly that they came out of Huichun Garden." Yuan Dai replied in a low voice.

"Damn it!" Yan Ran cursed in a low voice, even Yuan Dai who was standing closest couldn't hear what she was saying.
