The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 119 Innocent (1)
Mrs. Xu got into the carriage, followed by the twins. Mother Zhang took Xu Xian to sit in the carriage at the back, and there were several carriages with Sun Yu'e and the maidservant together. Follow along.

Zhao Jing saw that Mrs. Xu was wearing a dark brown embroidered gold embroidered beige, with a round bun, and a simple turquoise forehead mop on her head, she was a little more energetic than usual.On weekdays, Mrs. Xu dressed up too grandly. Although Zhao Jing was never embarrassed to say it, she always felt that it was a little inappropriate.It's no wonder Mrs. Jing Guogong and her like look down on her, dressed as a nouveau riche, standing among a group of noble ladies, there is always a feeling of being out of place.

"The old lady is dressed up really neatly today, which makes people's eyes shine." Zhao Jing's words are really not a compliment. If the old lady Xu is dressed like this, if she just sits and doesn't talk, she really looks a bit old. of panache.

"Really? Mother Zhang helped me tidy it up. I haven't gone out for many years, and I don't know what to wear when I go out." Mrs. Xu was praised by Zhao Jing, and she felt a little embarrassed. Smiling with a bit of shyness.

Zhao Jing held Qi Jiahui in her left hand and Qi Jiabao in her right hand, and asked, "Brother Bao, Sister Hui, do you think our ancestors are more energetic today than in the past?"

Qi Jiabao was eating a piece of peach cake, gnawing on it like a little monkey, nodded when he heard this, looked up at the old lady Xu and said: "The old ancestor looks good today, his hair is even blacker and brighter than yesterday."

This little sycophant... Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing, suddenly there were a few horseshoes outside, and Xu Si'an's voice came in from outside the carriage: "Mother, everything is ready, we can set off."

It was only at this time that Zhao Jing came back to her senses, did Xu Si'an actually want to go with her?Zhao Jing looked at Mrs. Xu so happy, why didn't she say from ear to ear: "Then let's go, I haven't been to a lantern festival for many years."

After the old lady Xu finished speaking, she turned to Zhao Jing and said, "Miss Jing hasn't been to the Lantern Festival for many years, right? Did you go there before when you didn't enter the palace?"

Zhao Jing was taken aback, realized it, and said with a smile: "Even if I went shopping when I was a child, I forget it now, but I really haven't seen a lantern festival for many years."

"No, I didn't want to come out at first. Brother An said that it was only once a year. If I missed it, I would have to wait another year. Think about it. I'm already old, and I can still watch a few lantern festivals. It's rare that he also has This interest."

"Does Marquis also like to watch lantern festivals?" Zhao Jing became a little curious. Based on her understanding of animals like men, she didn't seem to be particularly interested in lively scenes. With the prestige of iron and blood, she really couldn't imagine what it would be like when he was interested in going to the lantern festival?
This kind of festival has always been tailor-made for people like Wei Mingzhen who are out of tune.

"He didn't like it when he was a child. He never went to the Lantern Festival. I asked him to go and he didn't go. I don't know why he likes it now. He even persuaded me to go out together. I just think of him as filial piety."

After Zhao Jing heard this, she thought for a while. Xu Si'an was indeed a dutiful son, as he could tell from the fact that he rushed back from the border without rest to take a look at Mrs. Xu.Mrs. Jing Guogong made things difficult, and he could have ignored it, but he just let himself wear a green hat, and he refused to let the old lady suffer any grievances.

Such a person, even if he is not a good man, must be a good son.

Zhao Jing smiled and said: "The old lady is really blessed. Master Hou is so filial, and the family is full of children and grandchildren. It is really an endless family happiness."

Mrs. Xu likes to be flattered by others. Who doesn't like to hear good words, and Zhao Jing can talk. Mrs. Xu was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing for a while. Suddenly, he blushed and said disappointedly: "It's true that the house is full of children and grandchildren, but it's a pity that Brother An hasn't had a descendant yet, and I don't know when I will be able to report my own grandson. Bones, I don’t know if I can still hug them!”

The old lady's face changed faster than the sky. Seeing her become sullen again, Zhao Jing regretted that she flattered a horse's leg. It seems that she is not as good as the two twins in this flattering skill!But the disasters I caused by myself always have to end by myself.

"Don't worry, the old lady. Lord Hou is still young. He has just returned to Beijing after winning the victory. After a while, the old lady will help him find a few candidates. In a year or a half, won't he be able to have a grandson?" There is no such thing as contraception, as long as they marry into the family, there will be no problems for both husband and wife, and it is not uncommon to get pregnant in the first month.
