Daughter Raiders

Chapter 60
At the beginning of the Mao Dynasty, in the sedan chair hall in the front yard of the Su Mansion.

Su Hao held Tao Ran in one hand and Brother Cen in the other, and stood upright in front of the old man and the old lady, listening to another exhortation from his parents before parting. Every time he heard a word, he nodded respectfully.

But Yu Shi stood far away, holding Yanran in her arms, crying and talking incoherently, nothing more than mother will write to you when she arrives at the destination, if you have any embarrassing things, don't forget I wrote a letter to tell my mother...

The eldest wife and second wife stood further away with their children.Faced with this situation, the eldest wife couldn't help but think of the way she and the elder were reluctant to say goodbye back then, and her eyes were full of tears; the second wife looked at the appearance of Yu Shi and Yanran's mother and daughter, and remembered that there were two more. I have to leave in three months, so I can't help but hold Xiran's hand tightly, and don't want to let go for a moment.

It’s just that there will be a farewell to seeing you off for thousands of miles. The old man took out his pocket watch to check the time, and then told the old wife softly: “It’s getting late, let’s tell them to hurry up and get on the road.”

The old lady nodded reluctantly, but her eyes stayed on her son's face, and she even stretched out her hand to straighten his son's unwrinkled collar.

After Su Hao let his old mother caress the clothes, he turned his head and called Yu to come over and kowtow goodbye to his parents.Yu Shi hastily wiped away the tears on his face, looked up at him ignorantly, didn't understand what he said at all, but Yan Ran reminded him again in a very soft voice, then Yu Shi came to Su Hao's side, Kneeling together with him in front of the old lady, kowtowed three times slowly.

When Su Hao and his wife got up, Tao Ran went to pull Su Zicen's hand, and asked him in a low voice, "Do you think there are no futons on the floor with legs? If not, Sixth Sister will take you to kowtow to your parents."

Su Zicen grinned and shook his head with his small mouth open, but then he raised his head and glanced at Yu Shi——if he was asked to kowtow goodbye to his father, it would not be too much to kowtow ten or eight times, but to kowtow to his mother, he was somewhat Reluctant...

But that's okay.My mother is going to leave the Su residence with my father this time. If she kowtows a few times, she will stop staying at home in the capital, and stop secretly pinching him while my aunt is not paying attention, and forcibly feeding him things he doesn't like. , just knock it!
Tao Ran saw that his promise was quite straightforward, so he whispered a few words to him, then held his little hand and walked up to his parents, knelt down straight on the ground together, kowtowed and laughed crisply, please mother Take care of yourself.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly put on a smile, but before she could pretend to be a loving mother and instruct the two of them, the siblings had already turned their heads, and said to Su Hao in unison: "Daddy, have a good journey! Daddy is an official! Daddy wants to Take care of yourself and don't miss us, we will be obedient, go to school obediently, and be filial to our grandparents."

Brother Cen is only five and a half years old, and he doesn't learn the tongue very well, but fortunately, Tao Ran took him with him, and it didn't appear that he was slurring his speech.

Yu Shi's smile froze on his lips.These two bastards were just a polite word to her, but they said so much to the third master!
Su Hao didn't care how embarrassing she was, and immediately helped the two children up one by one, and then stretched out his arms to hug them tightly; Yan Ran was still immersed in the little sadness that her mother was about to leave, but now she saw that she was lagging behind Tao Sister Cen came over in a hurry, but before she knelt down to say goodbye, the old lady laughed and said it was time to leave...

The Su Mansion usually does not open the main entrance, but today is an exception.A group of people seeing off pedestrians stood outside the gate with the threshold removed, watching Su Hao and his wife get into the car separately, and the convoy set off slowly. The sound of horseshoes knocking on the bluestone road lightly broke the early morning traffic on the street. Tranquility, in the blink of an eye, has drifted away.

"Let's all go back. What are you doing standing here when the convoy is gone?" The old man said in a deep voice to the people who were still standing in front of the door, then turned around and called his official sedan chair to take him to No. [-]—to give Su Hao Seeing him off, the old man asked for leave and did not go to court. Now that he has been sent away, he should also go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Tao Ran, together with the eldest wife and others, accompanied the old lady back to the Pine Age Hall.I heard that the old lady had had breakfast before, and the first wife and second wife did not sit for a long time, they only chose relaxing topics to chat with the old lady for a while, then left the girls behind, and the two retired to go about their own business Son.

"Have all of you selected maids to accompany you to school? In a few days, the gentlemen will be here. After the Dragon Boat Festival, classes will start." The old lady smiled and asked her granddaughters.

Xiran and Anran hurriedly smiled back to their grandmother and said that the candidates were ready-made; Xiaoran and Yanran felt lonely and surprised after hearing this...

It's because Xiaoran has been living in the same courtyard with her birth mother, Aunt Jian, since she was born. There are enough maids, but none of them can read. So far, her aunt hasn't taken her affairs seriously. Son, how can she have a suitable person to take with her?

Yan Ran didn't expect that she would have to choose another maid who brought her to school, and she always thought that whoever was free would be the one to serve. Now that she heard her grandmother ask her such a question, could it be that this is something to be particular about?Why didn't the mother tell her before she left, and Qi's mother didn't remind her?
Fortunately, she was stunned for a moment and then remembered that there were two third-class maids in her room, one named Fuqin and the other named Nonghua, both of whom she begged from her mother not long after she came here, and she regarded them as her confidantes to train them. Then, she could take any one of them, so she smiled back to the old lady and said that she had a candidate.

Seeing the old lady nodding her head in satisfaction, Yan Ran also heaved a sigh of relief, but when she lowered her head, she rolled her eyes and immediately looked up and asked Tao Ran with a smile: "If I remember correctly, besides the sixth younger sister, there is only Hongxia and the other two. The only ones waiting are the two little girls on the eighth day of the seventh month, right?"

"Those two little girls are only seven or eight years old, and they can't read. No matter which one of them is asked to accompany Sixth Sister to school, I'm afraid it's not safe enough. Otherwise, I will give the painting to Sixth Sister?"

As soon as her mother left, Yan Ran couldn't wait to put people by her side?Tao Ran sneered from the bottom of his heart.

You must know that she has lived a new life, and she knows that there are no masters, no slaves, what playing the piano and painting are, and how they can harm people, she is not ignorant, she How could she be fooled by Yanran again!

"Sister Tao, thank you Third Sister for your kindness." Tao Ran stood up and gave Yan Ran a blessing. Seeing a smile that seemed to have succeeded in a trick flashed in Yan Ran's eyes, she smiled even more calmly: "But Third Sister used it smoothly. The third sister should keep it for herself, Sister Tao has Suxue here."

The smile in Yan Ran's eyes froze immediately, and soon her face was filled with jealousy and resentment.

Isn't Suxue the little girl who waits for pens and inks in her father's inner study, usually when the sisters go to the study with her father, it is that little girl who waits on them to write and draw, not to mention how appropriate her gestures are, but her father unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Su Xue Leave it to Sister Tao!

Why is dad so partial?How could she, Su Yanran, be worse than Sister Tao?
