Daughter Raiders

Chapter 207
You must know that my master has been sitting in the position of Tongzhi for five years, who doesn't want to go up to the next level?Mrs. Bai secretly said bitterly.

If she had relied on her back then, she would not have wanted her master to go to great lengths to find the seat of the Liaodong prefect. It would be best if she could leave this useless Liaodong prefecture, even if it was mediocre or even half a level lower, she would be willing.

But the Bai family is poor and has no background, and only people in their master's generation have started to become officials, and they have nothing to rely on. No matter how you look at it, it is the prefect of Liaodong Prefecture that is the best position to seek, isn't it?Unexpectedly, my master's efforts were in vain in the end, and the prefect of Su fell from the sky!

Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and the prefect of Su was wounded by an arrow while patrolling the city in just over a year.She was about to celebrate with the master, and then waited through the door for Su Zhifu to make room for the master, but Su Zhifu was steadily recovering from his injuries in Liaodong, showing no sign of leaving!
Su Zhifu's old father is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and it is said that he will enter the cabinet soon, and the old man of the Su family is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.If the prefect of Su is willing to resign and return to Beijing to recuperate his injuries, it will be very easy for him to become an official again in the future. Why does he insist on occupying the prefect of Liaodong?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai couldn't help complaining, and remembered the few times she had been with Mrs. Yu before. Her provocation and agitation seemed to have worked, so she asked Tao Ran again: "I heard that the Su family's The Elder would rather go back to Beijing to become an official, and Su Shangshu also worked hard to mediate for the Elder Su, why did you come to the prefect of Su and suffer such a serious arrow wound, and you just asked you, a little girl, to come over to serve the sick?"

"There are no more famous doctors in the Liaodong Mansion than in the capital. What if the injury of Mr. Su is delayed?"

Tao Ran almost laughed out loud.No wonder Mother Ding told her that before she left the house. How dare this Bai Tongzhi's family had the same idea, wanting to ask his injured father to make room for him?
"My father's injury is too serious. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the exhaustion of traveling back to Beijing." Tao Ran said in a low voice, his face seemed to have changed with Mrs. Bai's worry, and he was on the verge of tears.

Although Mrs. Bai is selfish, seeing how pitiful she is, and a child under ten years old, what can I say?He hastily comforted her a few words, then changed the subject and started talking with Tao Ran, but every sentence cannot be separated from temptation...

It's just that Tao Ran made up his mind to pretend to be ignorant, and she only answered one sentence after Mrs. Bai said ten words, and she was completely wrong, finally wearing out Mrs. Bai's patience; With a dull look, Mrs. Bai suddenly recalled that the mother-in-law next to Madam Su Zhifu said that Mrs. Su Zhifu loved the eldest daughter more, so she became discouraged.

"Look at your Aunt Bai's brains. You have been here for a long time. I haven't asked your two sisters to come out and talk to you for a while. I think you can stay with Auntie for lunch. Let's eat, with your two older sisters accompanying you, it will be easier for you for a while." Mrs. Bai said sympathetically.

Tao Ran hurriedly stood up and said no need: "Father can't be away from anyone, sister Tao will not bother auntie, and after a few days when father's injury is better, sister Tao will come to talk to the two elder sisters."

Mrs. Bai didn't force her to stay, so she asked the girl beside her to bring a basket of green vegetables and a basket of frozen sour pears as a gift in return. Then she sent Tao Ran out of the door and watched her get into the carriage. Zuo is a real lady of every family, but she is much better than the youngest daughter of Zhifu Su.This child looks like he can't stand on the stage, and it's not worth the loss if he ruins his own daughter.

Tao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Mrs. Bai. Just as the carriage he was riding left Bai Tongzhi's mansion, it began to snow outside.Mother Yang tightened the cloak on her body for her, and blocked the gaps around the car with a big guide pillow. After hesitating for a while, she suggested: "Either when the snow stops, mother will go to the car dealer to order a car for the girl." car?"

Like the Zhao Hong that I met on the road just now, I don't know how many scoundrels who look down on people with dog eyes.If you always ask the girl to ride in such a broken carriage, I don't know how many times you will be wronged. It's not like my family can't afford a good carriage, so why bother coming here.

Before Tao Ran could say anything, the carriage stopped again.Just about to lift the sedan chair curtain to take a look, a man's voice sounded from outside: "Ms. Su, I am Qin Sheng, who was sent by the eldest son to escort Miss Su back to the back house of the government office."

"It's Brother Qin Sheng." Tao Ran lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "It's so cold, Brother Qin Sheng is still waiting for me here, Fourth Brother Mu is really not considerate enough."

This Qin Sheng was a small leader of the soldiers who followed Mu Huan to pick her up in Suizhong, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other; now that the carriage just came out of the alley of Bai Tong Zhi's house, he bumped into him, presumably this Qin Sheng It's really unbearable to wait here after Mu Huan's orders.

"Miss Su, you are serious. I just followed the Shizi back to the General Military Mansion, and I didn't wait here. Look at the top of my head, but there is not a single snowflake." Qin Sheng laughed and said to her .

Mother Yang's face was full of displeasure.These bastards dare to talk like this with their own girls, and they don't know how Mu Shizi explained it!
Tao Ran didn't care about this, he rushed all the way from Suizhong to Liaodong, thanks to Mu Huan taking Qin Sheng and others to take care of him all the way. : "Brother Qin Sheng really didn't lie, not only is there no snowflakes on his head, but the clothes and cloak on his body are also newly changed."

Qin Sheng laughed a few more times, then pointed behind Tao Ran and asked Tao Ran to look: "I not only want to escort Miss Su back to the mansion, but also follow the order of the son to deliver the carriage to Miss Su."

"Although the frame of this carriage is a little old, it is made of ebony, which is extremely strong. The tarpaulin was also newly replaced before winter, and the tame mules pulling the cart are also docile. Now the son of the world only rides a horse and does not ride a cart. Let it go, Miss Su will accept it with a smile."

Tao Ran glanced at Mama Yang.It's all the fault of Yang's mother, who said that the car was too broken, but now it's doing well, even Mu Huan saw that the car was broken, and asked Qin Sheng to rush to deliver the car.

Yang's mother bowed her head in embarrassment and said nothing, but her previous complaints and defenses against Mu Huan had loosened a lot; Tao Ran knew that since Mu Huan had confessed, she would never allow her to say no, otherwise Qin Sheng would have to suffer when he returned. After falling, he smiled and agreed, and the group set off for the back house of the government office again.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at the back house of the government office, Qin Sheng came forward to bid farewell to Tao Ran, but left behind the groom who was driving the carriage all the way, and urged the man in his early forties to come forward to greet her.

Tao Ran was about to say that I will keep the carriage and forget about the people, when he saw Qin Sheng stepped forward two steps and said in a low voice: "Our eldest son asked me to tell the girl, don't miss that Wen Tong is old, he used to be an old soldier , the skills of hands and feet are not bad, but the left shoulder was injured in the first few years, so he retired."

The snowflakes in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, and the half-opened car curtain rushed into the biting cold wind; after listening to Qin Sheng's words, Tao Ran felt warm in his heart, like drinking a big bowl of hot water. sweet soup.
