Daughter Raiders

Chapter 236
Returning from the Tongbai River to the back house of the government office in the inner city, after Tao Ran washed and changed, he called Mama Yang to her side: "Didn't we always discuss about building a silk and satin shop in Liaodong Mansion? Mom, just stop for a while."

Seeing that Yang's mother didn't understand why, Tao Ran told her softly, "It's already the end of July, and the master will return to Beijing to report on his duties next spring. We must follow. Don't do anything, what do you think?"

Mother Yang thought about it for a while, and she also felt that what her girl said was right, so she nodded - a lot of money needs to be invested in building a silk and satin factory, if it is done too hastily, and there is no extra time to take care of it, it will definitely lose money , it is better not to do it.

"A few days ago, Mrs. Zhao's mother-in-law heard that the girl was interested in starting a silk and satin shop, and she laughed and said that she would introduce some good embroiderers to the girl. My mother didn't agree at the time, saying that she would wait and see, but now she doesn't agree. Isn't it just right." Yang's mother smiled, "How else can I arrange the person if I take him in?"

Tao Ran raised his eyebrows: "Mrs. Zhao... When did she become so kind? Just tell me that my mother didn't agree. Even if we don't leave in three or two years, there is no need for her Zhao family to introduce us to Xiuniang."

It wasn't that she was small-minded and couldn't tolerate others, even if there was no quarrel between her and the Zhao family, she couldn't agree with what good embroiderers the Zhao family could recommend her...

"The mother-in-law of the Zhao family was quite upset at the time, and she muttered that we came from a big place in the capital, and my eyes were picky." Mother Yang said unhappy, "Fortunately, Miss Lei's adoptive mother was also there at that time. , Helped my mother to give the woman a few words, and the woman was honest."

Ever since Zhao Hong'er and Mu Zhen got married, maybe Zhao Hong'er really wanted to please the future mother-in-law, Mrs. Hu, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and took a group of wives and maids to the General Military Mansion every now and then, and always ran into Tao Ran three or five times. Once, they got along well with Tao Ran on the surface.

But superficial affection is always superficial affection, and Tao Ran is not that easy to fool a child, if she really believes that Zhao Hong'er will settle down and get along with her well, that is impossible; so she smiled and told Mama Yang: "Mom has done a great job. We have lived in Liaodong for a short time. It's not a crime to go head-to-head with that Zhao family. We dare not compare with Sister Lei, right? It's also our blessing that Sister Lei's adoptive mother is willing to stand up for us. "

Mu Lei is Zhao Hong'er's future sister-in-law, and she is born with a strong temper, so what if Zhao Hong'er suffers from Mu Lei?Not to mention that Mu Lei's adoptive mother has long been entrusted by Mu Huan, and she always treats her master and servant differently in normal times, which is always better than her own.

Mother Yang responded with a smile, and went into the inner room to fetch two letters. The two little girls, July and Eighth Day, followed her and carried out a cage: "The girl just went for a walk, and she just came out. Open the door, the people from the post station came, this was sent by the Su Mansion in Beijing, please look at it, miss."

Tao Ran immediately put on a wry smile—every month since she arrived in Liaodong, boxes from the capital have been brought in, so when she returns next spring, she won't have to drag two carriages with her luggage?Tell her to say that it is good to have a letter, why bother to send it back and forth like this.

"It's not that the old lady and the wife are thinking about the girl and the master. After all, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon. It's just that the cooks in Su's house make good mooncakes. We can't eat them in Liaodong." Mama Yang told Tao Ran's When the letter was delivered, she took another letter to the master and went out, went straight to the main room and handed it to Mama Ding.

Tao Ran also opened his own letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he sat there without saying a word for a long time, but his heart was both turbulent and happy--grandmother said in the letter that after reading it carefully for half a year, when his mother returned home, It really has completely changed the way of life, being cautious and polite. The grandmother said that she was considerate of the mother who gave birth to Brother Pan when she was over [-] years old, so she was not willing to separate their mother and child...

Mother really changed?Become recognized even by grandma?

Is this really good news for her?You must know that since she arrived in Liaodong, every time she thinks about getting along with her mother in Suizhong, she feels like she is dreaming.Now even grandma said that her mother had changed, so wouldn't she have a loving mother in the future?

Mother Yang also sent the letter back at this time, and seeing her girl sitting there wanting to laugh and cry, with her expression constantly changing, she couldn't help being taken aback: "Miss, is this?"

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." Tao Ran stretched out the back of his hand and wiped his face, and in a blink of an eye he showed a bright smile: "I'm so happy to have read my grandmother's letter."

Having said that, Tao Ran still had doubts in his heart.Since my mother has changed so much, why didn't I hear from you this time?Is mother still unwilling to talk to her?

Asking Qiyue to wring out a hot towel to wipe Tao Ran's face, Mama Yang asked her to open the box to have a look: "Look what good things the old lady and the wife have brought to the girl."

As soon as the cage was opened, Tao Ran immediately felt relieved.

Dare mother hide the letter in the jewelry box?And this big box of jewelry and headgear... It's too luxurious, you know, she will only be ten years old in two months, so how can I use these things?Isn't mother afraid of breaking her little neck?Tao Ran was angry and laughed in his heart.

The two little girls, July and Eighth Day, just surrounded the jewelry box in amazement, and they couldn't see their girls smiling wryly, but it was Mama Yang who sighed about the preciousness of those heads first, and then turned her head and half embraced Tao Ran. Li, "Mom is so happy for the girl..."

If the wife can do this to the girl, this is a few big steps forward.After all, the girl is still five or six years away from leaving the court, and she will return to Beijing next spring. Wouldn't it be a great thing for her to have one more wife who cherishes her in the next few years.

"Mom, tell me to see what the wife said in the letter." After nestling in the arms of the adoptive mother and silently happy, Tao Ran gently broke out of Yang's mother's arms, and couldn't wait to open the letter in the jewelry box. .

The letter didn't say anything else, either that Brother Pan had grown a few more teeth, or that Brother Pan would run all over the place and call her sister again. He only said at the end of the letter: "... next year will be spring. Don't leave after you and your father come back?"

After all, Tao Ran and Yu's mother and daughter were almost incompatible in the past. Now it is unrealistic for Yu to say in the letter that mother misses you, and it is even more unrealistic to say that sister Tao, come back soon, and that mother will treat you well from now on. , but this taste of testing, more like what her mother would say.

Maybe this is the best thing her mother can say to her?Tao Ran blinked, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes.
