The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 111 Hou Mansion (1)
Because of repeated uprisings by refugees in the south of the Yangtze River, Xu Si'an was urgently called back to Beijing by the regent. Before the army returned to the court, he returned to Beijing first.Old lady Xu doesn't care about refugees or uprisings, as long as Xu Si'an is at home, it's a good day for her.

Qi Jiabao's illness happened to be cured, and Mrs. Xu became more and more happy. She spent the whole day enjoying herself and playing with her grandchildren, living a happy life.Only Zhang's mother still had one thing in her mind, and she was often in a trance.It turned out that after Master Hou came back that day, Mama Zhang vaguely mentioned that she wanted to invite Zhao Jing back to the mansion to be the lady husband of the three girls. Unexpectedly, Master Hou also agreed and sent someone to Xingyue Tower again. A post was made.

It's just that this post has been sent out for a few days, but there is still no news from Xingyuelou. Zhang's mother is a little anxious. If Zhao Jing is still unwilling to come to the Hou Mansion with such good conditions, then what is she thinking? Woolen cloth?
Mother Zhang couldn't help sighing when she thought of this. Mrs. Xu was leading a few children to pick out jewelry. Seeing Mother Zhang standing aside and sighing, she called her, "Mother Zhang, come and have a look, which one looks better?" ? Choose it for the Lantern Festival and bring it to the children."

Zhang's mother glanced at the carved tray covered with red silk, but she was not interested. She didn't need to ask, the biggest gold collar must be for Sun Yu'e, and when everyone picked out the rest, the smallest one would probably be enough. It's Xu Xian's turn.

"This is very pretty, bring it to Brother Bao." But Zhang's mother didn't know what happened today, so she didn't want to turn a blind eye to it again. She picked up the thickest and brightest one, with a Hetian jade pendant on it. He walked up to Brother Bao and said with a smile, "This is the best for Brother Bao. He is a brother, so he can hold it with such a heavy weight."

Sun Yu'e, who was standing aside and picking out jewelry with great interest, suddenly changed her face.In the past, she didn't need to ask for these things in person, the best must be for her, so she didn't care about it today, she just let them choose first, after all, she is the eldest sister in this family, and she has to show some elder sister's demeanor .But who knew that with just such a wrong eye, the best gold collar she had set her eyes on was actually taken by Zhang's mother.

"Brother Bao is so young, I'm afraid he can't wear such a big gold collar?" Mother Han said with a smile when she saw that Mrs. Xu didn't speak, and glanced at Mrs. Xu.

The old lady Xu didn't care about this either, she was looking at the plate of jade pendants in front of her, planning to pick a good jade for Xu Si'an, jade is safe, so naturally the more the better.

Hearing Mama Han's words, Mrs. Xu raised her head and glanced at Qi Jiabao. Mama Zhang was holding the gold collar to put on for Qi Jiabao. He had been ill recently. Although he suffered a lot, Fortunately, the people who serve her are very attentive. Now that she has recovered from an illness, not only has she not lost weight, but she has even gained a little weight than before.Although the gold collar is a bit big, it is cute and tight when matched with Qi Jiabao's round cheeks. Qi Jiahui also thinks it looks good. She raised her small head to see Qi Jiabao in the nurse's hand, and said persistently: "Your brother wants this. , this is really beautiful!"

Qi Jiabao touched the shiny collar with his fleshy hands, and his eyes followed the shiny ones. Obviously he also liked it very much, but when he heard Qi Jiahui said it looked good, he still humbly said: "Give it to my sister if she likes it, and I will give it to her again." Pick someone else!"

"I don't want it, I don't have a chubby face like yours, and it doesn't look good with it!"

When Qi Jiabao heard this, he exploded. It turned out that her sister said she was good-looking because she was fat and fit this collar better. Qi Jiabao turned her head and ignored Qi Jiahui.

Mrs. Xu looked at a pair of grandchildren who were so cute, and felt comforted in her heart. She had long forgotten what Mother Han said just now, she stood up with a smile, took Qi Jiabao into her arms, let her sit on her lap and asked him: "Does Brother Bao like this? Keep it if you like it."

Qi Jiabao's round eyeballs rolled back and forth, and he nodded after thinking for a long time. It seemed that he really liked it and was reluctant to take it off.

Mother Zhang stood aside calmly, glanced at Sun Yu'e quietly, and saw that she was looking at the old lady holding Qi Jiabao with her head tilted, with a bit of dark hatred in her expression, she smiled coldly in her heart Get up: Even if you can compare to Xu Xian, I'm afraid you can't compare to these twins. After all, the old lady is not confused about that!
The room was bustling, and the little maid outside also pulled the curtain and walked in, and said to Mrs. Xu, "Back to the old lady, the housekeeper outside has received news that Aunt Jing has agreed to come to our Hou's mansion as a servant." Regarding the matter of the lady, we only need to wait for us to discuss the date here before picking her up."

When Zhang's mother heard the news, she grinned happily, and said to the old lady with a smile: "The old lady is very happy! But I have invited Miss Jing."

For Sun Yu'e, this is undoubtedly the second nightmare today.
