Daughter Raiders

Chapter 254 Jokes
In a blink of an eye, the appointed day came, the girls of the Su family got up early, and it was not yet dawn outside the window - Mrs. Zhuangzi of Qi Guogong's mansion was in the northern suburbs, and it would take at least an hour and a half by carriage from the city If you don't leave earlier, it will be noon when you get to the ground, and there is no time to play horse racing.

That day when Sister Hui and Sister Lei came, what everyone discussed was to gather at Andingmen at Mao Shichu.Sister Hui took over the task of notifying all the girls again, and posted a post to each family a few days ago, clearly stating the place and time of the meeting, so the Su family's convoy rushed to Andingmen, and the others They also arrived one after another.

Many horse-drawn carriages lined up again, and the vehicles of the Duke of Qi's mansion drove to the northern suburbs in a mighty manner.After a long journey and finally arrived at Zhuangzi, everyone got out of the carriage one after another, took a few deep breaths before standing still, and said that the suburbs were better, and even the smell of the air had the freshness and sweetness of grass.

And the horses brought by the crowd to participate in the horse race have already smelled the fragrance of green grass at this time, and immediately raised their heads one after another and began to bark. In the inner city, there are no stable boys who are willing to go out of the city every day to cut grass for them. The horses are fed with beans. Now that they are in the suburbs for the first time, why don't these horses be full of joy.

"Why don't you tell the boys to take the horses out for a walk." Sister Hui laughed when she saw this.

"Run quickly to see if the dew on the grass has receded, and it's not too late to let the horses go after it recedes." Tao Ran said with a smile: "Our horses are pampered at home, in case they eat The dewy grass has diarrhea, and there is no need for the horse race later."

Sister Hui and the other girls from the general's family all stared wide-eyed.So there is such a saying?They don't know as much as Sister Tao!

However, thinking that Sister Tao lived in Liaodong for a year, and she also learned her riding skills at that time, Mu Huan must have nagged her all kinds of things to pay attention to, and the girls all covered their mouths. A few envious smiles thought, Sister Tao is really a lucky person. After going to Liaodong, she established a childhood sweetheart.

I stood in the front yard for a while, and heard the boy report that the dew had receded, and I could go out for a walk, and Sister Hui ordered the servants on the village to take the coachmen and others from each family down and resettle them. Invite everyone to sit down and drink some tea in the hall.

"I think the scenery around this village is not bad, and I don't know who are the people living around here. Why don't Miss Miao San ask your servants to inquire for me, if anyone is willing to sell it, I will buy it too. Come and play together." After half a cup of tea, Mu's second grandma, Zhao Hong'er, spoke first.

The girls present stared at each other with big eyes to small eyes for a moment, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.Even if the girls in the Su Mansion didn't smile so obviously, they all covered their mouths and lowered their heads, it was very difficult to hold back the laughter, and their shoulders twitched.

"Why, are you joking that I can't afford it?" Zhao Hong'er raised her brows upside down, her face full of anger.

You must know that more than half of the land in the entire Liaodong Prefecture belongs to her family. Although this is the capital city, it is only a suburb of Beijing. Even if an acre of land is sold for three to fifty taels of silver, what is so great about it? Her dowry money at the bottom of the box There are 50 taels of silver!

"Second sister-in-law, please shut up!" Mu Lei said with a little embarrassment: "There are indeed a lot of Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, but the owners are all royal family members. Even if someone is willing to sell, second sister-in-law, how dare you buy it! Regardless of this place, Zhuangzi will cost 10,000+ taels of silver!"

"What, is this a robbery!" Zhao Hong'er almost spit out the tea she just drank in her mouth, swallowed it but choked enough: "What's so good here, a Zhuangzi costs 10,000+ taels of silver ?”

"There's nothing good here, it just occupies a treasure land with dragon veins, and there are hot springs underground." Sister Hui said with a faint smile: "Otherwise, all the clan and royal relatives live here."

"Tch, I think you are bullying me because I don't know how to do it." Zhao Hong'er was full of dissatisfaction: "Your Qi State Duke's Mansion is not a royal family, so you still have a Zhuangzi here."

"Second Grandma Mu is not from the capital city, so it's understandable not to know the origin of it," Tao Ran said with a smile, "The Tai Furen of Qi State Duke's Mansion is the daughter of Princess Mingchun, the head of Huaide County who was proclaimed by the former emperor. It’s the aunt of the Holy Majesty, do you think Duke Qi’s mansion is a royal relative?”

Zhao Hong'er was immediately speechless, but she messed up the handkerchief in her hand with both hands - it is true that Mrs. Zhenbeihou is her mother-in-law, but their second master is a concubine. When her mother-in-law saw her, it was just a sign With a smile and a few words that are neither salty nor dull, there is no way for her mother-in-law to give her guidance on the social circle in the capital.

As for her grandmother, mother-in-law, wife, she is also a stepmother, and she was born as a concubine, so what can she teach her?Besides, Mrs. Tai just wants to use her as a weapon most of the time, how can such a person be willing to teach her to understand.

As for the second master's biological mother, let alone, she was just an aunt who was born as a maid.Before she came in, this Aunt Gu repeatedly said that she was not good enough for the second master, so how many times did she make trouble, don't you know if she is a fool!

And since she knew that the female relatives of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion were unreliable, she wanted to ask the second master for advice, so as to save her from embarrassing the second master when she attended various occasions, and to save her from having to use all her efforts to muddle through when she had to.After all, this kind of confusion is not a long-term solution. After a long time, everyone will hate her, so why bother.

But I don't know if the second master has been unable to figure it out because of the loss of an arm, or if the second master just didn't like her at all, he didn't care about her pleading, and he was not even willing to say a word to her.

After thinking about all this, Zhao Hong'er was extremely sad, but she quickly put on a smiling face and said to Tao Ran: "That's it! It seems that I have to thank Miss Su San for reminding me, so that I won't have to send a servant to buy Zhuangzi abruptly and offend the nobleman again." .”

Tao Ran, Mu Lei and the others couldn't help being a little surprised.What happened to this second mistress, why did she suddenly become able to speak human?

"Look at what Second Grandma Mu said, you and I are old acquaintances, and it's nothing to remind me." Tao Ran replied lightly, then took a couple of sips of tea with the teacup in his hands, then turned his head again Talk and laugh with other girls.

Seeing this, Zhao Honger became even more depressed.Even if this Miss Su San is the future Mrs. Zhenbeihou Shizi, and she is treated like this before entering the door, how can she have a place in the future Zhenbeihou's mansion?
"Miss Su San is really interesting. Since you said that you are an old acquaintance with me, why don't you call me the second sister-in-law of the Mu family? Didn't you always call my husband the second brother Mu when you were in Liaodong? Now you don't call me the second sister-in-law." Loss." Zhao Hong'er said with a strange air.
