The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 117 Lantern Festival (1)
Wei Mingzhen sent Zhao Jing to the door, touched his forehead in some confusion, and asked Zhao Jing with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "Does Uncle Ben Guo really look bad? Why don't you like me at all?"

Zhao Jing couldn't laugh or cry when he asked him. In fact, although Wei Mingzhen was famous, it seemed that he had only one wife in his family, but he often visited some brothels and restaurants, and he was quite popular among Yingying and Yanyan.From Zhao Jing's point of view, Tan Hua Lang, who became famous at a young age, probably feels unwilling to be lonely.

"Then let me ask you too, I'm two years older than you, why do you keep staring at me?" Zhao Jing looked at Wei Mingzhen, she wanted to know the answer, the ten girls in the palace... For many years, she had never looked at Wei Mingzhen directly. The only remaining friendship between them was when they met by chance, Zhao Jing called him "Uncle Guo" respectfully.

"This..." Wei Mingzhen actually didn't think about when he felt this way about Zhao Jing. When he was young, he went to and from the court, and he often watched Zhao Jing walking back and forth between Yongshou Palace and Linzhi Palace.There are not many maids in the palace who don't want to catch him. Only Zhao Jing is always so indifferent to him. At first he thought it was Zhao Jing's trick to get him, but in the end he realized that he was thinking too much and she didn't get him. thoughts, not to mention any tricks.

But the more it was like this, the deeper he got stuck, playing tricks whenever he could, and having a beauty in his arms, these were all things that he could easily grasp. When Zhao Jing came here, she refused to eat hard and soft, and she didn't leak water, so she had nothing to do.

Wei Mingzhen smiled wryly. He didn't know how to answer Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing smiled and said, "If Uncle Guo doesn't understand this, how can he like me? Instead of putting his mind on me, Uncle Guo would rather It’s better to assist the emperor so that he can become a good emperor who truly serves the country and the people.”

"It's boring if you say that." Wei Mingzhen turned his head away, sighed absent-mindedly, and stuffed the sugar figurine into Zhao Jing's hand, "The beauty is for you."

Zhao Jing wanted to refuse at first, but when she thought about agreeing to the big girl, she took it in her hand, blessed Wei Mingzhen, and sent him away.Wei Mingzhen turned around and took a few steps, then turned around suddenly, and said to Zhao Jing, "If you really want to marry, you don't need to be so anxious. There are many good men in the world, just like me."

Zhao Jing smiled wryly, saw Wei Mingzhen's figure go away, opened the door and entered the courtyard.

A few days later, the matter of Zhao Jing's divorce from the Shen family also cooled down. It was only later that Zhao Jing heard the reason from the Shen family from Yuan Shi. A certain place in the south is the county magistrate, so the original marriage was withdrawn.Zhao Jing also knows the reason why Qianli is an official only for money. Although Shen Congcai looks honest, they have only met three times after all, and she doesn't know the real character of the other party.

Neighbors in the neighborhood felt sorry for Zhao Jing not being able to become the wife of the county magistrate. Yuan was afraid that Zhao Jing would feel uncomfortable, so she comforted her privately: "We don't care about the wife of the county magistrate. I heard that there is a rebellion in the south. If you really Go, your brother and I are still worried, there are men with two legs all over the street, when you enter the Hou Mansion as a lady, my sister-in-law will help you find a better one."

Although Zhao Jing didn't think it was a pity, she was still moved after hearing Yuan Shi's words, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about this matter. Now that I have an errand, at least let me live a leisurely life for a while."

Seeing that Zhao Jing has become more energetic these days, Mrs. Yuan was also happy. She thought about it for a while and said, "I have discussed with your brother that Erhu will not be allowed to go to Shen's private school, so that it will not be easy for people who go back on their promises to see her." Reliable, no matter how good the knowledge is, what's the use, if the character is badly taught, it will be bad."

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Adults' affairs have nothing to do with children. Besides, the private schools in the Shen family are indeed good nearby. Now that the New Year's Eve is more than half past, the nearby private schools are full of students , I can't say it at this time, I'm afraid Zhao Erhu will be delayed this year.

"Sister-in-law, please try to persuade my brother, it's not worth it, Erhu finally worshiped this gentleman..."

Before Zhao Jing finished speaking, Yuan waved her hand and said: "Er Hu is still young, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed this year, it will be the same next year, besides, your brother has been inquiring these two days, maybe there will be news, we hand If you have money in your pocket, you are not afraid that you will not be able to study, even if the road is far away, it will be fine."

Zhao Jing was so moved that she didn't know what to say, but seeing that Yuan's mind had been made up, she didn't say much.

This day happened to be the Lantern Festival, and Zhao Jing felt inexplicably nervous thinking that Xu Si'an had said that he would send someone to pick her up that day.The Lantern Festival was at night, but there was nothing to do in broad daylight. Yuan made Yuanxiao, Zhao Jing ate a small bowl, and went back to her room to change.

Knowing that she was going out, Yuan Shi was a little worried, and repeatedly explained a few words, agreeing to keep the door for her at night. Since the incident of that day, the whole family has become cautious.
