Daughter Raiders

Chapter 218 Token
"This is the first time for Master Hou to see Sister Tao, right? Why don't you come out with a gift as an elder?" Mrs. Zhenbei Hou laughed and teased Zhenbei Hou, pretending that she didn't see the surprise on her Master Hou's face. with... a little sadness.

Zhenbeihou's wife, Mrs. Hu, knew that before she married Mu Yuanjiang, she already had someone in her heart. If Su Yuanzheng hadn't died, she wouldn't be able to marry him.If this matter was placed in other people's minds, it might have been a pimple all the time, but she just didn't care. Didn't she already have a group of sons and daughters now, and Master Hou also respected her?
Of course, it would be even better if the old hag of Deng Shi was gone in the Hou Mansion - Hu thought silently.

She just came here yesterday, and saw that the mansion had prepared a carriage to deliver food to Master Su San's mansion. Not long after, she heard that Brother Huan not only went all the way to Suizhong with his own soldiers to pick up Sister Tao, but also waited to return. After arriving in Liaodong, he sent his carriage and driver to the girl.

Brother Huan has taken a fancy to Sister Tao, this is something that cannot be questioned, right?
Sister Tao has a good family background, and she is also liked by others, otherwise, my two daughters would not have just arrived in Liaodong to pick up Sister Tao to play.Although he is still young, he is almost five years behind Brother Huan, but Brother Huan has practiced so much kung fu, it is best to marry a wife in his twenties, even if it is not Sister Tao, the girl can't be older , Four or five years younger is definitely the best.

I just don't know how much better sister Tao is than her great aunt?If this girl is like her great-aunt Su Yuanzheng, she probably won't be able to pass the test of the old witch in the Beihou Mansion in Beijing... she will have to fail halfway.

But Hu is not too worried.Back then when Mrs. Deng was able to figure out Su Yuanzheng, it was because no one mentioned Su Yuanzheng, and no one helped his master Hou; after a few years, Brother Huan really wanted to talk about marriage, and she was the mother in everything. Standing in front, isn't it?Mrs. Deng already owed the Su family a life. When Sister Tao passed through the door in the future, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be able to deal with Mrs. Deng!
Although Hu's mind turned a lot, it was only a moment. In a blink of an eye, Zhenbei Hou's slightly embarrassed voice pulled his thoughts back, and he heard Zhenbei Hou say: "Ah? Ah! Madam reminded That's great, isn't it the first time I see Sister Tao, so I should give her a gift."

But, but this meeting ceremony... Hou Zhenbei was talking to himself incoherently, his eyes were very flustered, and he looked at his hands and waist all over. In his hand was the green jade finger that is necessary for archery. How can this be given to a girl? Home, the jade pendant on the waist is the personal belongings of the old man, it is outrageous to give it to a little girl, where is this meeting gift, this meeting gift?
Tao Ran didn't dare raise his eyes or tilt his ears for a moment.Zhenbeihou is only in his forties, why is he almost like an old urchin?Or did she look so much like her great aunt that Lord Zhenbei thought he had run into a ghost?
"Uncle Hou, don't worry." Tao Ran raised his face with a smile: "Sister Tao will stay in your house for a while, and I will go back after having lunch with my aunt and two sisters. What's the rush?"

Zhenbeihou raised his head in a panic, "Ah? Ah! Sister Tao is right, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."

When his wife and two daughters were not here before, there was no female family member at the General Military Mansion. He really didn't prepare any suitable greeting gifts, even if he did, it was a little thing for some boys.It seems that I have to send an order later to order people to buy some rewards for the girls. Now that the madam is here, it can't be said that the madam has nothing to reward the girls.

On the other hand, Mu Huan gently pushed his father's arm, and handed over a small thing casually.Zhenbei Hou held the little thing in his hand like a thief, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the small movements of their father and son, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed loudly: "You see, I am confused, the meeting ceremony was actually prepared earlier I just forgot where to put it, but it’s actually in my palm.”

After saying this, Zhenbeihou let go of his palm, but was stunned again after seeing it.This, isn't this one of the pair of suet jade double-winged white tigers that Brother Huan gave to Brother Huan when he was ten years old? !This kid, although Sister Tao is good, is not yet ten years old, and no one is robbing him, why are you so eager to settle down? !

But how could Hou Zhenbei not understand the truth that a horse is hard to chase after saying a word, he had already passed the white tiger in the palm of his hand, there was no reason to take it back, so he could only sigh secretly.

Tao Ran had never seen Mu Huan wearing this white tiger, so how could he know that it belonged to Mu Huan.In addition, I have been listening to Mu Lei whispering to her just now, and I have never seen the small movements of Zhenbeihou and his son. Seeing that Zhenbeihou suddenly took out this jade like a magic trick, he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him with a smile on his knees, and then accepted the meeting gift. in the bag.

Mu Yun was on the side but saw the jade clearly.

You must know that the second brother was jealous that the fourth brother got the reward from his father, and he nagged behind his back more than once that the white tiger symbolized the military talisman. The implication was that he was no less learned in the art of war than the fourth brother. Why was his father so partial...

Today, the fourth brother dismantled the pair of white tigers, and gave Tao sister one by his father's hand, and the mother didn't stop her when she saw it. Could this be to make an early marriage with Tao sister?

It's not that Mu Yun thinks that young people can't get engaged.Many girls are betrothed as soon as they are born, and there are not a few who marry with their fingertips. Sister Tao is almost ten years old, and she is not too young—she just didn’t expect her mother to come After spending most of the day, why did she act as if she had a well-thought-out plan long ago, neither thinking that sister Tao was just a second-in-law daughter, nor did she think that sister Tao and her fourth brother were five years apart?
Fourth brother's future daughter-in-law will be the wife of the Mu family!Why don't parents study for two more years before talking about it!
But when he turned his head and heard Zhenbei Hou said that he still had business to deal with, he would not have lunch in the backyard at noon, and Mu Yun came back to his senses.After everyone sent the father and son out of the main room, the Marquis of Zhenbei stood down again and told Hu: "Isn't the roe deer meat already stewed? You send a woman to Su... to send some to Mingzhi."

Mingzhi is Su Hao's word, if not in front of Tao Ran, the Marquis of Zhenbei would probably call him Su Laosan, luckily he just stopped in time.

Mrs. Hu agreed with a smile, and watched the father and son leave the main courtyard, then called a woman to explain the errand, and they returned to the main room.

"Hou Ye and Brother Huan are gone, we ladies don't just sit around in the hall, it's better to stay warm on the big kang next time." Mrs. Hu led the way into the Xici room, and called several girls to get on the kang.

Although Mrs. Hu was easy-going, Tao Ran was here as a guest, so he didn't dare to take off his shoes and climb onto the kang like Mu Lei, so he sat next to Mu Yun on the edge of the kang, talking with Mrs. Hu with a soft smile.While talking, I only felt that the sachet with the two-winged white tiger on his waist was falling heavily...

Although she didn't see the private actions of Zhenbei Hou and his son, she also knew the meaning of the two-winged white tiger!
