Daughter Raiders

Chapter 148
In a blink of an eye, all the people got into the car in the sedan chair hall, and after waiting for everyone to sit down, the team filed out of the west gate of the Su Mansion, left Sicheng Square, and went straight to Qi Guogong's mansion.

An Ran took up Tao Ran's previous words: "Just now you mentioned the matter of grandmother flattering Brother Cen, but I can't figure it out... If Third Aunt gave birth to a little brother this time, wouldn't Brother Cen die of embarrassment?"

"Isn't it because Brother Cen would be embarrassed that grandma planned to put him in the outer courtyard in a few days?" Tao Ran said with a smile.

The small courtyard assigned to Brother Cen by the outer courtyard has been resettled, and the maids and servants who went to serve him have also been selected. Now Qingfeng, the book boy left behind by his father, has lived in first, and is waiting for the end of the day. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother Cen completely moved to the front, and it was time to officially go to home school in September.

An Ran sighed silently—the elder brothers in the family were all four-year-old Kaimeng, and seven-year-old went to the private school to study with the husband. It shouldn't be special when Cen Ge'er is here, but the elder brothers only moved at the age of ten. Those who went to the outer courtyard, Brother Cen's age...was really pitiful.

Why do men have to take concubines?Could it be that they couldn't see the embarrassment of being a child of a concubine?Let's just talk about Sister Yue, if Sister Yue was also born to her mother, she wouldn't be so displeased with Sister Yue, wouldn't she?

"By the way, the reason why Zhang Luo and Fourth Sister huddled together in the car today is because I have something I want to ask Fourth Sister." Tao Ran didn't care what An Ran was thinking about, and changed the subject abruptly.

"You ask, as long as I know, I will definitely not keep it from you." An Ran raised her head with a smile.

The two of them had only Shuangju as a servant girl in this car, and Shuangju couldn't be more appropriate, so she wasn't afraid that any words would reach the ears of others.

"Is there any festival between our family and Zhenbeihou Mansion?" Tao Ran asked softly.

The two girls, July and Eighth Day, have already experienced enough training. As long as it is about the back house of the Su Mansion, there is nothing these two little girls can't find out, but after all, it is only limited to their own back house; Things, not to mention asking two little girls to inquire, even asking Mama Yang to help.

Now it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mu Huan should leave the capital to join the army in Liaodong; if she doesn't find out quickly, what is the Su family's trouble with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? Always send her a letter back, in case someone in the family stepped on a sore foot, Yan Ran who insisted on going to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for a banquet last year was a lesson for her.

"Why did Sixth Sister remember to ask their family?" An Ran was slightly surprised.

Tao Ran didn't hide it, and in a few words, he told An Ran about the time when he met Mu Huan to deliver the letter: "...every time my father wrote a letter, he only reported good news and not bad news, and my grandmother didn't only report good news. I complained about my father once, if Fourth Brother Mu can help out when he arrives in Liaodong, he will let his family know that my father is fine from time to time, so don’t you feel relieved.”

An Ran nodded lightly——Liaodong is no better than other places, only a little safer than the northwest where uncle and grandfather were stationed. Third Aunt doesn't love Sixth Sister very much, and Sixth Sister should be responsible for Third Uncle.

But what does she know more than Sixth Sister?In the first few years, she only occasionally heard a few words from the mother next to her mother, saying that her aunt was going to marry the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei back then, but who knew that her aunt died young, and the in-laws of the two families did not make it... …

But then again, if my aunt hadn't died young, where would there be two sisters, Mu Huan and Mu Lei and Mu Yun?The children of Prince Zhenbei are also a generation older than their sisters.

But where did Sister Tao's so-called "holiday" come from?Could it be, could it be that the death of my aunt had something to do with the Mu family?If that's the case, it's no wonder that Sister Tao is worried, since the two families have a big feud, how can Sister Tao accept the message from Mu Huan again!

Tao Ran heard An Ran ask her why she concluded that there was a problem between her family and the Zhenbeihou Mansion, so she told An Ran the doubts that had been buried in her heart all along: "... Grandmother said she would go to the Zhenbeihou Mansion to thank her when she was in Xishan, but now she is about to go to the Zhenbeihou Mansion. It's been a year, and grandma hasn't made the trip, so I have no choice but to think so."

There was also that time when Mu Huan Commoner came to Su's house to deliver a letter. Although he was a junior, his grandfather was not a temperamental person, so why did he let him linger in the backyard of the small study, but he didn't invite him to serve tea in the room; Uncle later went to the backyard to talk with Mu Huan, and his face was a little guilty?
An Ran was even more surprised—the Mu family of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion and Qi Guogong's mansion were moving around well, and their relationship with the Yin family of their grandfather was not bad. She never thought about it; However, He Chunjiu never saw the Mu family come to his door. It seems that Sixth Sister's doubts were not groundless.

Thinking about it this way, An Ran whispered to Tao Ran what she had heard a few years ago: "...I heard that my grandfather loved my aunt the most back then, maybe the festival between the two families came from my aunt. of."

Tao Ran pondered for a long time when he heard the words, and didn't speak for a long time.If this is the reason, I'm afraid Mo Shuan will make up his mind on Mu Huan's future lifelong affairs, even if he really just asks Mu Huan to occasionally pass the news of his father's safety to her, it will be difficult to carry out!

An Ran thought she was worried about her third uncle, so she comforted her softly: "I think all of this is just random guesswork by the two of us, and it can't be counted. A few days ago, my mother and I went to my grandfather's house to give gifts, and we met Mu Yun and Mu Lei, they also said that they would invite us to her house to appreciate chrysanthemums and eat crabs in September, and then we'll see if grandma invites us to come, maybe the truth will come to light?"

Last autumn, when Yanran went to the Marquis of Weiyuan for a banquet, her grandmother sent someone to call Yanran back halfway; now that the Mu sisters are old enough, they can invite handkerchiefs to walk around to socialize, if the grandmother still stops, everything will be settled .

Tao Ran nodded, that's the only way to go, isn't it?Otherwise, she could still pester her grandmother to inquire about it?

Even though he thought so, Tao Ran was not without regrets on his face; fortunately, the carriage had also arrived at Qingmingfang where the Duke of Qi's mansion was located, and the two sisters stopped whispering, no matter how many regrets they had, they had to clean up, and the two sat down. After tidying up his sideburns and clothes, he waited for the carriage to stop and got off together.

"From early this morning to now, our old lady has cried three times. My aunt will enter the back house later, so she has to persuade us." The second Mrs. Miao came out to welcome people, at the gate of the ceremony. As soon as he saw the old lady, he begged in a low voice.

The old lady forced a smile and patted the arm of the second nephew's daughter-in-law—not to mention the sister-in-law, Mrs. Qi Guogong, even she wanted to cry herself!

One must know that since her elder sister-in-law married into the Miao family, she spent more time with her elder brother, and after more than forty years, she finally looked forward to her elder brother returning to the fields, how could she bear the grievance in her heart.

However, her sister-in-law is also 60 years old this year. If she shows her grievances so capriciously, she may have to lie down on the kang as soon as her brother arrives home. Thinking of this, the old lady smiled and comforted Mrs. Miao Er: "Don't worry, my niece and daughter-in-law. When I see your mother-in-law, I will persuade her."
