Daughter Raiders

Chapter 246
A long time later, in the early morning of a spring in March, in the main room of Huawu Garden not far from Songling Hall.

Tao Ran carefully looked at the makeup and hair style in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction: "Sister Hongxia's combing skills are getting better and better, thinking that you will be released in autumn, I really don't want to bear it here! "

"I think that girl Ding Dong is quite talented in this matter, why don't sister Hongxia take her with you for two months, so that when you leave, I won't be caught blind here."

In the blink of an eye, it has been a year and a half since Tao Ran came back from Liaodong. One and a half years may not be long, but it is enough to make her look like a big girl with bright eyes and bright teeth.Today is the birthday of the Grand Madam of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, Tao Ran gets up early and dresses up, and later he will accompany his grandmother to the Duke of Qi's mansion to celebrate her birthday.

Hearing her girl mention the release again, Hongxia blushed—she was more than six years older than the girl, and now the girl is 11 and a half years old, and she is almost eighteen. Someone made the decision for her and betrothed her to Xu Lin, the second steward of the gatehouse in the outer courtyard, who is also Suxue's brother. She will be released this fall to get married.

But shame is shame, the girl always listens to what she says, so Hongxia suppressed her embarrassment and nodded: "What the girl said is that Ding Dong is also very dexterous, and she must be able to master it after a while. "

Ding Dong is the granddaughter of Mrs. Lin who is on duty at the corner gate in the backyard. Tao Ran asked Qiyue and the eighth day of the eighth day to go to the corner gate to inquire about news for her. The old lady lived in the east wing of the Pine Age Hall for more than a month, and then moved out to the current yard, and begged her grandmother to serve her.

As for why she didn't ask Hongxia to choose one of the two girls, Fangcao and Fangxiao, whom her grandmother admired, or which one to choose on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, Tao Ran also had a reason—Fangcao and Fangxiao were on errands in Songling Hall. Fangcao knows a little about medicine and loves cooking, Fangxiao is Cuijuan's apprentice, female celebrities are very good at it, we can't tell the two of them to change their jobs halfway, can they?

As for July and the eighth day, Tao Ran still has great uses.Both of them are confidantes she cultivated since childhood, but they can't be tied down by these trivial matters in the room, not to mention that the two girls are not good at doing things with their hands, one is more frizzy than the other.

"Sister Hongxia, just stay at home. I'll take Qiyue along." Tao Ran stroked his temples and stood up, telling Hongxia softly.

Hongxia responded briskly, and called Qiyue to come into the room to serve the girl and go to Pine Age Hall all the way.The two little girls in July and Eighth Day are now eleven or twelve, and their behavior is much more secure than before. She and Yang's mother are also relieved if they are asked to accompany the girl to the Duke of Qi's mansion as a guest.

Huawu Garden is only a shot away from Pine Age Hall - the old lady felt sorry for Tao Ran back then, and wanted to keep her in Pine Age Hall for a few more years, but she thought that when the girl grew up, she would be squeezed into her wing Feeling cramped and unwilling to believe in Yu Shi, he asked his servants to tidy up the small courtyard not far from his own courtyard, so that Tao Ran could walk to Pine Age Hall.

When he arrived at the main room of Pine Age Hall, Tao Ran was not surprised that he was the first one to come.Because she has been asking herself to be the same for several years, even if she moves away from Pine Age Hall, it will not prevent her from being the first one. She stepped forward to salute her grandmother, and she pulled her skirt and spun around: "Grandma, look at me!" This new dress!"

"This is the one your mother was nagging about a few days ago. What is it called the sixteen-piece skirt?" The old lady looked at it with interest: "It really looks much better than the eight-piece skirt, and it suits our sister Tao." The son is getting more and more beautiful."

Then she turned her head and told Mother Shen: "Take some time to go to the sewing thread and tell them to make two for each of our girls, and two for the eldest grandma and the second grandma."

Hearing Shen's mother's reply, the old lady pulled Tao Ran to sit on the kang: "You came so early, you probably didn't have breakfast in your room, so you can eat it with grandma."

Since Tao Ran lived in Huawu Garden, he spent more than half of his time eating with the old lady.Unless the weather was bad, raining or snowing, she would call someone to tell her that it was unreasonable.

Hearing her grandmother calling her, Tao Ran took off the embroidered shoes on her feet, and sat cross-legged opposite her grandmother.The old lady smiled when she saw it: "After ten months in Liaodong, I learned the strength of Liaodong people. Now I have been back for a year and a half, and I haven't changed it."

"It's fine at home, but you have to restrain yourself when you go out as a guest." The old lady smiled with something in her words-Sister Tao just came back from Liaodong more than a year ago, how many noble girls know that she was kidnapped by General Mu? Escorted all the way back, her mouth was twisted with anger. If outsiders saw her being so careless, she wouldn't be able to say anything, and then she would leave something for that old hag of the Deng family in Zhenbeihou's mansion.

"Don't talk about going outside, even at our house, Sister Tao only dares to do this in front of her grandmother." Tao Ran mischievously smiled and excused himself: "The older sisters are all grown up, if Sister Tao led her to ruin Sister Tao can't bear the responsibility."

Xiran has already made a formal engagement with Qu Ge's grandson, and he will leave the court after waiting for a while.Although the marriage between Yanran and Anran has not yet been settled, the old lady probably knows what she means, but Tao Ran dare not test grandma, what kind of family she wants to set up for Yanran...

In fact, after Tao Ran came back this time, not long after she got home, she found that Yan Ran had changed, and she was no longer as extroverted as she was when she was a child.In other words, Yanran became dark and gloomy, and she was no longer so arrogant and domineering. This was the last thing Tao Ran wanted to see, because it would be more difficult for her to attack Yanran.

Could it be that after her mother came back from Suizhong, Ling Yanran realized that there was a danger?Tao Ran thought about it.After all, in the past when her mother didn't like her, Yan Ran was the one who benefited the most, but now her mother not only cares about her, but also has brother Pan under her knees, Yan Ran has become inconspicuous...

It must be that anyone who wants to come will come, Tao Ran just flirted with her grandmother, and then reported in from outside that the third wife and third girl are here.

"Grandmother sit down first, I'll meet my mother." Tao Ran said to the old lady with a smile, and quickly got off the kang.

The old lady was naturally happy to see that sister Tao and her mother were getting better and better, so she waved her hand and told her to go away; after a little leaning, she saw Tao Ran coming in holding Yu's arm, Yan Ran followed behind, and saluted the old lady After asking Ann, the old lady greeted: "Have you two eaten? If you haven't eaten, you can all come to the kang."

Mrs. Yu did not shirk: "The daughter-in-law is here to serve the mother for breakfast, and when the mother runs out, just give the daughter-in-law a sip of porridge."

The old lady immediately laughed and spat: "The older you get, the more out of tune you become. You didn't forget to put eye drops on your mother-in-law in front of the two children, didn't you?"

From the day when Mrs. Yu came back from Suizhong, the old lady gradually realized that getting along with her daughter-in-law is also a heart-to-heart exchange.She thinks more about her daughter-in-law in everything, and this daughter-in-law will naturally be more submissive, and she can even joke with her a few times, not to mention that everything depends on Brother Pan's sensible little grandson, the old lady thought to herself .
