The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 113 Regret (1)
Yuan Shi stopped Mama Zhang from coming in, Zhao Jing explained for a while, finally Yuan Shi put down her guard, but she was still a little worried, she took Zhao Jing's hand and said: "If you want to go out, I won't stop you, just come back earlier , don’t be the same as last time.”

Zhao Jing nodded to reassure Yuan Shi. She went back to her room and changed her clothes. Although she didn't look very energetic recently, she really missed the twins in the Hou Mansion, and Xu Xian, I don't know. Has the little girl been bullied by Sun Yu'e recently?

The carriage was driving along the road, Zhao Jing sat leaning against the corner, she is usually very talkative, no matter what she said to her, she always answered patiently with a smile on her face, but today Zhao Jing didn't say a word , but his eyes drifted to the outside of the car curtain from time to time, staring at the passers-by in a daze.

Zhang's mother saw the difference in Zhao Jing, but she didn't dare to ask anything, since she probably came out of the palace, and at such an age, living outside is always difficult.

"The girl looks thinner again, but life outside is not as comfortable as in the palace?" Mama Zhang asked tentatively, looking at her with a smile on her face.

Only then did Zhao Jing come to her senses, and with her usual smile from before, she said softly, "It's not true, it's just that I accidentally got sick a while ago, and now I've been taking care of it for a few days, and it's already much better."

Ms. Zhang couldn't tell where Zhao Jing was sick, her voice wasn't hoarse, her nose wasn't stuffy, she didn't seem to be suffering from a cold, since she said she was fine, she was probably fine.

"Miss, you have to take care of yourself. This winter is very cold. I guess, at least when the dragon rises in February, it will be a little better."

Zhao Jing smiled and nodded, and asked Mother Zhang, "Why is the old lady thinking of me today?"

Based on Zhao Jing's understanding of Mrs. Xu, even if she really wanted to see her, she probably wouldn't say it if others didn't mention it. She is a confused old lady with a bit of face.

"Brother Bao and Sister Hui missed you, and Sister Xian also missed you. As soon as they mentioned it, the old lady let me pick you up. I thought that you might not be willing to come if I sent a servant, so I came here in person. Now it's not in vain to make this trip, your sister-in-law is really powerful, she still drives people away in broad daylight!"

The reason here is that Zhao Jing couldn't tell Zhang's mother in detail, so she smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is afraid that I will meet bad people, and she also has good intentions."

Mother Zhang remembered Yuan Shi's fierce look just now, she just nodded and said: "It's really amazing."

Zhao Jing followed Ms. Zhang to Songhe Hall, and the maid opened the curtain to lead Zhao Jing in. The old lady raised her eyes, stared at Zhao Jing for a long time, and then said, "Miss Jing, what are you doing?" You've lost weight like this after only a few days of seeing each other? Did your brother and sister-in-law treat you well? Didn't they give you meat during the Chinese New Year!"

Zhao Jing touched her cheek for a moment and was slightly taken aback, but her depressed mood improved a little because of the old lady's uprightness, and she said with a smile: "Old lady, there's nothing wrong with it, my brother and sister-in-law are very good to me, it's me If I didn’t take good care of myself, I wouldn’t be sick for a while, and now I’m finally recovering.”

After Zhao Jing finished speaking, she turned slightly towards the old lady, and when she raised her head, she realized that Xu Si'an was sitting on the right side of the old lady Xu.He was holding the teacup, and his eyes flashed past his body. Zhao Jing didn't expect Xu Si'an to be there. She had a feeling that the lie had been exposed, and her drooping face flushed immediately.

"Why are you so sick, did you ask the doctor to take a good look at it? Is it really healed now? Why am I still not energetic?" The old lady asked so many questions, but Zhao Jing didn't know how to answer them. Let's continue talking, the lie will get farther and farther, if you don't go back to the old lady, it will be disrespectful.

When Zhao Jing was struggling repeatedly, Xu Si'an, who was sitting beside her, said, "Mother asks so many questions in one go, how can Miss Zhao answer you? Why don't you call Baogeer Hui and let them chat with Miss Zhao?" Relieve boredom."

The old lady Xu obeyed Xu Si'an's words, and smiled when she heard the words: "I'll let the nanny call, the two little guys kept saying that they were thinking of Aunt Jing, and after some lunch, they couldn't help but go to sleep again. gone."

Zhao Jing sat down, she raised her head, and glanced at Xu Si'an quietly, the man had already looked away and was drinking tea wholeheartedly.Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and when she raised the teacup to take a sip, Xu Si'an stood up and said, "Mother, my son has something to do outside, so I'll go out first."

Zhao Jing quickly stood up and sent him off, watching his figure in black robe flashing out from behind the curtain.She lowered her eyes, thinking that fortunately this Xu Si'an is an honest gentleman, otherwise, judging from the toughness of the ancient folk customs, it would be difficult for Zhao Jing to live.
