Daughter Raiders

Chapter 225
When Tao Ran left the government office and came to the General Military Mansion, it was only the beginning of the Si Dynasty.Now that noon is approaching, she can already ride the red mare leisurely around the martial arts arena. After discussing with Mu Huan in a low voice, she gently reined in the reins and called Mu Lei with a smile: "Sister Lei Don't run around like crazy, it's time for Auntie to call us for lunch."

As expected of being from a family of military generals, Mu Lei has not touched the reins of a horse for more than half a year, but now that he has adapted to it for an hour, he is already able to gallop around the field galloping on a horse in a heroic manner.Hearing Tao Ran call her, he loosened the rein and told the chestnut pony to slow down, and then ran slowly for half a circle, and then rode the horse to Tao Ran's side and got off the horse.

"How is it, my fourth brother is not bad at teaching riding skills, I think you can ride a horse and turn around on your own in just an hour." Mu Lei smiled and handed the reins to the boy who followed, and asked with a smile Tao Ran said.

"I think my fourth brother didn't care about me at all when I was learning how to ride a horse. I took his riding and archery master to teach him. It took a whole day in the martial arts field to dare to ride a horse and circle slowly by himself." Mu Lei said. Then the smile disappeared, and she pursed her lips slightly aggrieved, obviously complaining that her fourth brother was eccentric.

Tao Ran raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Sister Lei wasn't a filly when she first learned to ride, right? If I were a master of riding and archery, I wouldn't dare tell you to ride around alone early."

"What Xiaotao said is exactly that. The stables in the Beihou Mansion in the capital city are full of army horses, all of whom have strong temperaments. I definitely can't promise to teach her to ride that kind of horses." Mu Huan seems to be afraid even now thinking about it.

"Who knows that she is also stubborn, and before I found a suitable pony for her, she took my riding and archery master away when I went to the horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing, and she insisted on riding my fierce jade horse." Hua Cong, you don't know, my master taught her for a whole day, and she was so frightened that her clothes were soaked in sweat."

Mu Lei heard what the fourth brother said was interesting, and she also recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing: "I said at the time that the riding master, you didn't gallop on horseback, how could you be more tired than me!"

Tao Ran couldn't help laughing, but he and Mu Huan also became afraid for Mu Lei.Thinking back to the little red horse he rode just now, and Mu Lei's chestnut yellow horse, they were all extremely docile, and he understood Mu Huan's painstaking efforts even more.It seems that he is really what she thinks, he looks dull but actually has a meticulous temperament, and he is not only as meticulous as her talent alone, he is indeed a person worthy of entrustment.

Instructing the servants to brush the horses before feeding them some water, they all turned around and left the martial arts arena, talking all the way to the back house; seeing the hanging flower gate leading to the back house ahead, Mu Huan hurriedly stopped Say goodbye to Tao Ran.

Although Tao Ran accepted his token last winter, he couldn't make it clear in broad daylight. Now she's just a guest at the General Military Mansion, so naturally he can't be by her side all the time.What's more, it was lunch time soon, and there was no rule in the General Military Mansion that men and women mixed together for dinner.

"Father is not at home today, so what if you have lunch in the back house, fourth brother." Mu Lei was indifferent, and complained softly that he had a lot of bad rules.

But seeing that Mu Huan still insisted on going back to the front, Mu Lei no longer insisted—after a few days, the fourth brother and the second brother changed positions, and the one who stayed at home would be the second brother, and she didn't want to call this military commander Her servants are going to be the ear gods, telling the second brother that the fourth brother frequently goes in and out of the back house when he is at home, and that her second brother... is not one with her mother and the fourth brother.

After sending Mu Huan away, Mu Lei walked towards the inner courtyard with Tao Ran on her arm, and suddenly remembered something, and whispered in her ear: "Sister Tao, do you still remember Sister Feng from the Marquis of Weiyuan?"

Tao Ran's footsteps stopped immediately.Although Chen Fengkun was not the enemy who directly killed her, he was also one of the culprits who forced Yanran to take action against her, right?How could she not remember her!

"Although you don't speak, I see that you seem to hate her." Mu Lei covered her mouth and giggled, and her voice became softer after laughing: "But you said, although Chen Fengkun is not very good, Is she the concubine of the Hou family?"

"My second brother's aunt doesn't know what to think, she even wants to ask my second brother to marry Chen Fengkun! As a result, the entrusted matchmaker was ridiculed by Mrs. Weiyuanhou when he arrived at Chen's house. The big broom drives the matchmaker out!"

"That's all, there are quite a few men and women who can't get married, but I also heard that Sister Feng has already taken a fancy to my cousin Yun, saying that she will not marry Wanliyun; but you say, now my Yunbiao Brother and Miss Ouyang's marriage has been settled, is it possible that she is still thinking about being my cousin Yun? How can there be any reason for the Hou's mansion to send a girl to be a concubine?"

Tao Ran immediately smiled wryly in his heart.It turns out that Chen Fengkun really fell in love with Wan Liyun at a young age?So what was she busy with back then, why didn't she hear anything about it, especially after she married into the Prince of Sheng County's mansion, she even cheerfully entertained Chen Fengkun who went with Yanran every now and then?

I'm afraid that even if Chen Fengkun and Wan Liyun hooked up under her nose, it's not certain!At that time, she...was really an out-and-out fool!
"Sister Tao, have you ever suffered at the hands of Chen Fengkun? How do I see you..." Seeing that Tao Ran's face turned pale after hearing her words, Mu Lei shook Tao Ran's arm worriedly at first, then her words and demeanor But it is extremely intimate: "Don't worry, not to mention that Mrs. Weiyuanhou has already denied the marriage, even if she is willing to agree, my mother will not agree. How can it be his aunt's turn to decide the marriage of my second brother?"

"Chen Fengkun is such an annoying person, don't try to marry into the Mu family and be your sister-in-law!"

Tao Ran was brought back to her senses by Mu Lei, and hurriedly put aside the sad past of her previous life, but after listening to Mu Lei's words, she immediately felt a little shy again; she hadn't written a word yet, and she was so young, how could she Just talk about sisters-in-law and not sister-in-law!
"Sister Lei, you...you want to embarrass me to death!" Tao Ran imitated Mu Lei's way of stomping her feet and throwing her temper, and stomped her feet with a blushing face to stop her from speaking.

Seeing that she seemed to be really ashamed and angry, Mu Lei hurriedly stopped talking, then crouched her neck and looked to both sides. Seeing that the maids were about ten steps away, she must have heard nothing, so she was relieved. She begged in a low voice: "Sister Tao, don't be angry, it's my fault, okay? I won't talk nonsense anymore."

Tao Ran took the opportunity to pull her to his side again, and said in a low voice: "There are some things I can't say to Aunt Mu, but sister Lei, you can remind Aunt Mu, can't you?"

"As for what you said just now, it's not his aunt's turn to make decisions about your second brother's marriage, but what if his aunt can convince your wife to come forward and tell him a good relative with a strong family?"

Although Mu Zhen is a concubine, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is a family of nobles who have been favored for a hundred years. This kind of family is already rare in the Dacheng Dynasty. Chen Dingkun, the eldest son of the mansion, is still in demand.

Mu Zhen and his biological mother belonged to the Deng family, Mrs. Beihou of the old town, and Tao Ran knew about it a few days ago.Therefore, she is also worried that if Mu Zhen can talk about a good marriage, Deng's family may continue to encourage Mu Zhen and Mu Huan to compete for the position of the son, just like planning for the third master of the Zhenbei Houfu...

Mu Lei rolled her eyes, and immediately understood Tao Ran's meaning, "You mean it's better for my mother to come up with an idea to get married for my second brother earlier, so that Mrs. Tai has nothing to do?"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be Aunt Mu who made the engagement for him... You just need to learn from my words to Auntie and see how Auntie arranges it. Just don't say that I said it." Tao Ran said with a light smile.

It is true that Madam Zhenbeihou is Mu Zhen's aunt, but why bother to do such a thankless thing?If you ask her to say, it would be best if this job can be handed over to Master Hou...
