Daughter Raiders

Chapter 204 Pride
Now that Tao Ran has arrived in Liaodong Mansion, he packed two carts with New Year's Eve gifts in a few days, and asked the grooms and boys who escorted him all the way to set off back to the capital. Steward a thick letter home.

Now that the convoy has left, Tao Ran's carriage has never been left behind. Now Mama Yang's sent someone to prepare the carriage, which has been waiting in the back house all the time. It is usually used by Mama Ding and others to go out and buy.

After loading the presents into the cart, Mother Yang turned back to the West Wing and complained to Tao Ran softly: "The carriage is really worn out, why didn't the girl keep hers back then? Half a car."

It's not that Mama Yang is picky about things, if the girl doesn't go out very often, the carriage is just for people to ride in, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but once the girl goes out, she will take the same one, it will be too embarrassing.

"Mom, you forgot, my car still has the emblem of Shangshufu, even if I keep it, I have to completely change the hood, and the frame is too wide and heavy, it's too eye-catching and too troublesome, so I simply dismissed it." Go back and save trouble." Tao Ran explained to Mama Yang.

The imperial family, royal family, princes and nobles gathered in the capital, her carriage was nothing to drive on the streets of the capital, but it would be too luxurious if it was in Liaodong Mansion.Today's Liaodong City is only this big, and she is the daughter of the prefect of Liaodong, so it's not a good thing to be too public.

Not to mention the scheme between father and Lord Muhou, how many Khalkha spies will be brought in to the city, why would she bother to be such an early bird?Is it possible that she still carries a flintlock with her everywhere she goes, and if something goes wrong, she pulls out the gun to smash the opponent's head?
Although the flintlock gun is good, it is too troublesome to reload. It can kill one person, but not a group of people...

When Mama Yang heard the same reasoning, she nodded helplessly, but still nagged: "The girl should wear more, I see that there is some air leakage everywhere in the carriage, although the journey is short, if the girl is frozen, don't worry." it is good."

"Hongxia, go quickly and burn a hand stove for the girl, and add more charcoal to the small smoker cage, so that I can bring some warmth to the car."

After everything was tidied up, Tao Ran took the lead and went out.After stepping out of the west chamber, they saw Xianyun coming out of the east chamber, and the two of them met their gazes as soon as they raised their eyes.

"Miss, are you going out?" Xianyun lowered her eyes and hurried forward to salute.

Tao Ran returned Xianyun's gift: "I just arrived in Liaodong a few days ago, and all the family members of my father's colleagues came to visit me at home. I happened to have nothing to do today, so I went to pay a visit, which is considered a return gift."

Xianyun's eyes flickered: "The mother and maid beside the girl are also newcomers, is it appropriate? Why don't I go with the girl?"

Before Tao Ran could answer, Mother Yang replied with a smile: "Auntie Xianyun should stay at home and take care of Brother Chong. Although the customs in Beijing and Liaodong are somewhat different, they always treat people the same, so I won't bother Auntie this trip. "

The girl from the royal family went out to socialize, but she brought an aunt by her side. Is it because I am afraid that people will not find the butt of the joke master?In the past, when the girl didn't come, it was inevitable to use Xianyun for entertainment among the female relatives. Now that the girl has arrived, there is no reason to ask the concubine to show up.

Xianyun pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking, her head lowered lower and lower, but her pair of bare hands twisted the handkerchief in her hand - she had already given birth to a son for the master, and she was literate, followed A girl won't lose her face when she goes out to socialize, but she just doesn't give her this chance!
Tao Ran noticed Xianyun's small movements and didn't speak.On the other hand, Xianyun was silent for a moment, then turned her head and raised a bright smile: "Then I won't delay the girl from going out, I'll go and see how the master's soup is doing."

"Don't worry, Auntie. Fangcao is a girl who cooks medicine in Pine Age Hall. It's perfect to have her guarding the medicine jar." Tao Ran didn't want to make Xianyun feel too embarrassed, but since Dad had explained, the medicine jar was hers. If you are a person, you can't let others get close, right?

Fangcao was rewarded by her grandmother before she left Beijing this time. She used to be a third-class maid who cooked soup and decocted medicine for the old lady. Now she is asked to continue decocting medicine for the old lady in Liaodong.

The smile on Xianyun's face finally showed a trace of broken traces, but Tao Ran didn't stay there. After leaving this sentence, he turned around and left with Yang's mother and others, leaving only Xianyun's backs.

"Actually, I don't know that the more peaceful the back house is, the better." After getting into the carriage and sitting down, Tao Ran frowned slightly: "Especially the master is still recuperating, if I just come here, the back house will be messed up." It's not beautiful to dance."

"But this Xianyun is really too arrogant. If I don't quickly pinch her, when she brings Brother Chong back to the capital in the future, I'm worried that she will be able to protect Brother Chong?"

Before she left, she told her grandmother that it would be better to take Brother Pan and Brother Chong to the Pine Age Hall to raise them, but this was just to let the grandmother think that she would see two little grandchildren soon, and she was worried. It's easier, and it saves grandma from only worrying about daddy's injury and her long journey.

In fact, regardless of whether the mother is willing to send Brother Pan to Pine Age Hall or not, even if the mother is really willing to part with him for the good of Brother Pan, Brother Chong is a child of a maidservant after all, and his status is far different from that of Brother Pan. Well, how could an old man like grandma casually praise Brother Chong and tell him to be as happy as Brother Pan?
I don't know how much the mother's temperament has changed. If she is still so stupid and unreasonable, and just blindly looks at the concubine as displeased, it will become a big problem for Xianyun to protect Brother Chong... You must know that her mother never It was too much for Xianyun to give birth to this child.

Mama Yang and Hongxia didn't dare to argue with each other.No matter how Xianyun is an aunt, and brother Chong is a maidservant who has a son, they are also the master's aunt and son, and the master of the third room. Some girls say it, but they don't.

But remembering that they have been in Liaodong for the past ten days, Xianyun's temptations and arrogance have intensified. Either she disliked the pig's trotters stewed by Brother Chong's nurse in the kitchen for not being soft enough, or she was picky about the vegetables in the meal not being fresh enough. Mother Yang is wrinkled Mei: "Eastern Liaodong is much colder than the capital, and it's this season again. It's a luxury to have vegetables to eat. She's so picky. The girl is right when she says she's arrogant."

Before coming to Liaodong, their master and servant also stayed in Suizhong City for a few days. Suizhong also has hot spring vegetables grown in the hot spring village. It is relatively convenient to buy, and the third wife's table is just an extra cold green salad for every meal. Melon, or a small garlic cabbage, even so, you have to spend two taels of silver every day...

And Xianyun is just a housekeeper who was promoted by a girl. She only raised her aunt after giving birth to her son, but she is more extravagant than his wife.
