Daughter Raiders

Chapter 22 Grandfather
Seeing off the sisters Xiran and Anran, seeing that the sky was getting dark and it was almost time for dinner, Tao Ran entered the old lady's main room along the Chaoshou verandah. The old man sat on the kang and drank tea.

Tao Ran really wanted to call Cui'e to bring her a cushion.She moved to Pine Age Hall early yesterday morning, and only now saw her grandfather, so she must kowtow to him, right?

But thinking of what grandma said yesterday, saying that she didn't want her to be humbled like a slave, she swallowed her words back, and paused at the side of the fan with some hesitation.

Fortunately, all this is just a flash of flint.Although her footsteps were light, she couldn't hide it from the old man. When the old man raised his eyes and looked over, she had already walked quickly to the front of the big kang: "Sister Tao has seen my grandfather and asked him how he is." An ordinary gift.

The old man put down the teacup and looked at her carefully.Who is this sister Tao, and who does she belong to?Such a smart kid, why does he seem to be out of tune?
Thinking so, the old man couldn't ask her that, he just smiled and called her: "Good boy, get up!"

The old lady told him a few days ago that she wanted to pick up a granddaughter to live in the Pine Age Hall to accompany her to relieve her boredom; she had the final say on the affairs of the inner house, so she just let him know, and he would just let her know. I didn't ask much, I thought she would definitely pick up Sister An, or else it would be Sister Yan... Now it's a little bean that he can't even recognize!
"Grandfather gave you this, you can play with it." The old man took out a safe white jade plaque and handed it to Tao Ran.

Tao Ran stretched out his hands to take the jade token, and felt that the texture was extremely moist, with a slight body temperature, and couldn't help grinning: "Sister Tao, thank you for the reward from grandfather. Don't worry, grandpa. Sister Tao My son will definitely accompany grandma well, so that the old man will not feel bored."

The old man smiled again, and felt that the child's face was extremely familiar for a moment, and he froze there immediately.

"Can the old man see who this child looks like?" The old lady was also helped out of the inner room by Cuijiao at this time. Seeing that the old man was a little lost, she reminded with a smile: "Look at the two dimples at the corners of her mouth. Not like Yuanzheng?"

The old man looked at Tao Ran carefully for a few more times, his face inevitably showed some pain, but it turned into a smile in a blink of an eye: "No wonder I feel familiar, she looks a bit like a big sister."

The old man's three brothers were all concubines, and he had only one sister from the same mother, who was 15 years younger than him, and her boudoir name was Yuanzheng.When the old lady married into the Su family, Su Yuanzheng was just three years old. One year later, the old lady and the old lady of the Su family passed away one after another. She arranged a generous dowry, but who knew that disaster would fall from the sky...

Tao Ran was secretly startled.

In her last life, she always heard the old servants at home talking about how gentle and talented her great aunt was, but it's a pity that the colorful clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is fragile... But she didn't know that she looked like her great aunt?

Looking at the expressions of her grandfather and grandmother, it seems that she has a deep affection for her aunt and grandmother. Maybe this can also become a support for her in this life?
But when grandma mentioned her great aunt, grandfather's pain became so clear. Since she is not an insider, it is better to keep her away from such secrets!Otherwise, relying on the situation may become a disaster...

The old man and his wife just said a few words, and then changed the subject, which made Tao Ran understand that the eldest aunt was really a taboo, so he sat down on the grand teacher's chair under the kang with his head down, as if he didn't care about the old man and the old man. people say something.

"The third child really wants to be released on a regular basis, is there any other way?" The old lady did not shy away from Tao Ran, and asked in a low voice about the results of the old man's busy work these days.

The old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's okay to stay in the capital as a Beijing official, but it will be difficult to get promoted in the future."

The third master, Su Hao, is currently serving as the left counselor of the General Political Commissioner. Like the right counselor, he is of the fifth grade. He is just stuck on the hurdle of promotion. He is neither an official of the Six Departments nor has any special talents. It is difficult to go further.

If there are people in the court, father, brother, relatives and friends can borrow their strengths, most of the fifth-rank Beijing officials will find a position outside, go out to experience for three to five years and then come back after thinking about it, or they will be promoted all the way outside. It's a great way to get promoted.

The Grand Master of the Su family has now become a second-rank political envoy in Shandong, and he is taking the path of being promoted all the way outside. Mrs. Su only gave birth to two sons, the Grand Master and Su Hao, so naturally she doesn't want her younger son to become the boss The number of ways, so that I have nothing to do with the previous biological.

"Then he will leave this time... for three years or six years?" The old lady's voice was slightly low.

The old man smiled and patted his old wife's hand: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace, whether it's three years or six years, let's listen to the superior."

The old lady was born in a first-class government, so she naturally knew that a woman's family should not get involved in government affairs. Although the old lady did not let go, she was so old-fashioned and confident, what else did she say?She can't be a stumbling block for her son's progress, can she?
What's more, the old man said again, it doesn't matter if it's three years or six years, doesn't this mean... at most six years, you can get the third child back again?Thinking so, the old lady smiled, "Cuichan has already passed the meal, the old lady moves one step further, let's go to Dongci Room to eat, be careful to starve Miss Tao to death."

Only then did the old man remember that there was a little granddaughter sitting under the kang, so he got off the kang and put on his shoes, grabbed Tao Ran's armpits with both hands, and led her off the chair, all the way to the east room. up.

The old lady followed behind and looked at the backs of the grandparents and grandchildren, pursing her lips and laughing.

Since seven or eight years ago, several old concubines were sent to Zhuangzi for the elderly. The old man never came to the Pine Age Hall for three or five days, and most of them just stayed in his small academy in the outer courtyard; The son is raised in Pine Age Hall, this child looks very much like Yuan Zheng when he was a child, maybe the old man can come over twice more?
The three grandparents and grandchildren sat down in Dongci Room thinking about their own concerns, and they also reported in from outside. The third master came.Tao Ran looked up at the old lady, saw that the old lady had a tacit smile on her face, immediately got off the chair, bent her knees to her grandparents, then trotted all the way to the hall, and called out with a crisp smile: "Dad, come down!" Ya? Is Daddy tired?"

The old man was slightly annoyed.It turns out that Sister Tao is the youngest daughter of the third child?If I had known this, I shouldn't have said anything about it in front of her just now!
Although he doesn't care about the little things in the inner house, he also knows what kind of person the third daughter-in-law Yu Shi is.If Sister Tao spread this word to Yu Shi's ears, wouldn't Yu Shi be even more proud?

"The old man is at ease." The old lady and the old man have been husband and wife for many years, so she comforted her with a low smile.

"Since the third child found out about the news, he has been pestering me every day to discuss Sister Tao's affairs. Otherwise, I will not be able to raise any granddaughter, and Sister Tao must be the only one."

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.

He just thought that the old wife brought Sister Tao in to raise her because the child looked like Yuanzheng...it turned out that it wasn't all the reason.It's good for the old wife and the third child to arrange this way, who wouldn't want to have a peaceful back house.
