Daughter Raiders

Chapter 37
Although Tao Ran's grandfather, Mrs. Su, came from the direct branch of the Su family's clan, and was a noble and scholarly family of the Dasheng Dynasty, it is a pity that this direct branch has a great shortcoming, that is, from his great-grandfather's generation, Then several generations of single pass.

Therefore, in the generation of the old man Su's father, the old man was afraid that the Su family would lose the incense in his hands, so he got a son, so he couldn't wait to accept two good concubines; During the years, three more concubines were added to the Su family, but it's a pity... the old man didn't work hard enough, the concubine was still the only one.

Fortunately, the old man's three concubine brothers are all sensible people. After their parents passed away, after three years of filial piety, they didn't wait for the elder brother and sister-in-law to say goodbye to the family, so they moved out of the Su family's old house one after another, went out and set up a new family. .

In this way, the several families get along fairly well on weekdays, and now it is the first month, and it is even more unavoidable to walk around with each other; in addition, there are three masters in the Su family's concubine, and the Su residence is very crowded today Bustling, but every day is a lively scene.

It was also in this first month, I don't know whether it was the old lady's plausible warnings that worked, or Yan Ran's private persuasion was effective, Yu seemed to be a different person, extraordinarily respectful and extraordinarily attentive, not to mention that Tao Ran got her some splendor. After the smiling face, she was quite flattered, even the old lady was a little surprised.

The consequences of being flattered are serious.From the beginning of the first month, Tao Ran always dreamed of Yu Shi's smile for several consecutive nights, and would be awakened every time, not to mention, and it was difficult to fall asleep in the second half of the night.

In the twinkling of an eye, the ninth day of the first lunar month came, and it happened that the fourth old master’s house held a spring banquet for the family of the three elder brothers; Tao Ran was the same as the previous few days, worrying about how to get more sleep, when she was taken out of the bed by Yang’s mother. , half-closed her eyelids and let Yang's mother fiddle with it.

After being dressed as a New Year's doll as in the first few days, Tao Ran almost woke up, and was about to go to the main room to greet the old lady, but heard a report from outside the door saying that Mother Fan from the third wife's place had come.

Isn't mother always coming to Pine Age Hall these days?Later, we will go to the fourth old master's house for a banquet together. Is there anything we can't talk about later?

Although Tao Ran was puzzled, he couldn't stop people from coming in, so he sat in the same place silently, letting Mama Yang leave her inner room, and went to meet Mama Fan in the hall.

"The third wife asked Mama Fan to bring a box of jewelry and headgear, and she said it was all suitable for the little girl, so I thanked her." The makeup box, about five inches long and two inches high, is very small, exquisite and exquisite.

If you really want to reward her with some gadgets for her to wear in the first month, shouldn't they be sent in the twelfth lunar month?Tao Ran frowned slightly.

Yang's mother didn't see the look on Tao Ran's face, but happily put the small makeup box on the mirror stand, opened it and showed her everything: "The third wife said, these are given by the fourth old lady of the Yu family. Her dowry is for her to give birth to a daughter so that she can dress up her daughter, and in the past two days I went to the ear room to search through the box and cage, and I happened to see it, so I asked Mama Fan to bring it to the girl."

"Does the third sister also have one?" Tao Ran asked softly.

Yang's mother was stunned immediately, and only after a while did she get over her confusion, and the previous excitement gradually cooled down.

She was originally an old man of the Su family. Before the third wife entered the Su family, she had already worked as an errand in this inner house. Later, when she got married at an old age, she came back to seek errands, and she was arranged by the old lady's mother Shen. Sanfang, Sanfang already had sister Yan at that time...

Sister Yan has never lacked anything since she was born, and everything is extremely delicate; and the sixth girl she serves is now six years old, and this is the first time that she has gotten three years old. What a reward for my wife!What is there to be happy about? !What a shallow eyelid!
Tao Ran actually understood why Mama Yang was like this.Even if my mother used to treat her as nothing, now that she finally thinks of her, every reward is a box of face, at least it can be regarded as a good start, isn't it?
But she didn't understand why her mother suddenly changed her temper?Under the twelfth lunar month, Mother Fan taught her a lesson for her mother, but she didn't tell her anything about Pine Age Hall. This reward is too strange!
"Mom, put away the box first. When we come back from the fourth old master, we can show it to grandma." Tao Ran jumped off the makeup stool and greeted Yang's mother with a smile.

She wanted to call Qiyue immediately, and ask her and Chu Ba to play around in the back house, and take the opportunity to find out what was different with her mother from the past.But today the female family members of the Houzhai will go to the fourth old master's house for a banquet, so it's not too late to inquire after a few days.

Mama Yang responded with a deep voice, and put away the makeup box in a very dejected manner, and then pulled herself together and led Tao Ran to the main room; when she reached the entrance of the hall, she handed Tao Ran to Cui'e, Mama Yang turned around and was about to leave , I saw Qi's mother and Yuan Dai also entered the yard accompanied by Yan Ran.

If it was normal, Mother Yang would only need to salute Yanran before she could go back to work, but thinking of the reward just now, after saluting Yanran and watching her enter the main room, Mother Yang greeted her with a smile. Yuan Dai: "...Why don't you sit in my room."

Qi's mother was a little proud and a little disappointed.The proud thing is that even though the sixth girl moved to Pine Age Hall, Mother Yang still respects her as before. The disappointment is that it would be better if the third girl lives in the Pine Age Hall...

Feeling down and down, Mama Yang has already affectionately held Mama Qi's arm, and they walked to the east wing together.

There are five rooms in this east wing, the south room is used as an inner room, the south room is reserved for Tao Ran to rest and entertain guests, and the north room is used as a resting place for Yang's mother. Sit in that room, and go to night at night, go back to the main room and sleep in the cover room.

"Sister Yang's house is well arranged... Tsk tsk, I think it's more comfortable than Huichun Garden." Qi's mother entered the Beishao room, and praised it with a little sourness.

Mother Yang waved her hand with a subtle smile: "These decorations are all there before. When the girl is older, we still have to go back to the Spring Garden, and which one can be taken away; that's all, the girl is older." It's even harder to say what happened after that..."

Mother Qi stopped laughing immediately.

It's not a big deal, everyone is Mei Xiang's boss, if they serve the girls well, there may be girls who will take care of them in the future, otherwise...it's impossible to say that they will have to go back to their hometown in the countryside to cover their faces with loess!
