The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 121 Wiping the Sweat (1)
The carriage arrived at Suzaku Street not long after. This is the first place for people in the capital to enjoy lanterns during the Lantern Festival. The roads are wide and there are many kinds of lanterns. The people who come the most are the rich and noble families in the capital.

Although Zhao Jing heard from the old eunuch in the palace that the best place to see the lanterns every year in the capital was in Changle Lane, but after hearing the name, Zhao Jing probably guessed what business was done there.

The carriage couldn't get in when it reached the intersection, Zhao Jing helped the carriage up, first helped the old lady out, and then opened the curtain, and saw Xu Si'an was already waiting outside.She carefully helped the old lady down, and carried the twins out, and Xu Si'an took the two children from her hands.

When they all got out of the car, Zhao Jing was the only one in the car, the maids and women were all around their masters at this moment, no one was in front of Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing staggered down with the help of the car, A large palm covered with calluses suddenly stretched out in front of her.

She has seen many men's hands, smooth and soft like a little emperor, slender and fair like Wei Mingzhen, thick and strong like a regent.But Xu Si'an's hands were different from theirs.This was supposed to be a pair of hands holding a pen, with slender fingers and well-defined knuckles, but now they have been polished and softened by weapons, and have become rough and hard.Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, put her fingertips on his palm, and used her strength to get off the car.

It's not a good touch, but it's not as disturbing as imagined, but it's just a hand, just a kind of etiquette.Zhao Jing kept persuading herself, got out of the car, and quickly withdrew her hand.Xu Si'an clasped five fingers, and the softness of the palm was gone, just like Zhao Jing never put her hand in his palm.

Seeing her quickly greet everyone with a smiling face, Xu Si'an felt a little lost in her heart.Anyway, I've hugged her that night, so I don't have to worry about it anymore with this small grip.Xu Si'an quickly convinced himself and followed Zhao Jing to the crowd.

"I haven't been to the Lantern Festival for many years, why are there so many people..." Mrs. Xu looked at the sea of ​​people on the street, and her head grew a little big.Zhao Jing thought for a while, the old lady is old after all, there are so many people, it would not be good if they get separated, so she smiled and said: "Xingyue Tower is just ahead, let's go there while strolling, where we are waiting, It's good for the old lady to go in and sit down."

"It's good or bad, I haven't gone out for a long time, there are so many people, I don't know where to go." After the old lady finished speaking, Sun Yu'e came forward with a smile, helped the old lady and said: "Old ancestor, I Take you away, there are many people here, you can follow closely."

Zhao Jing didn't pay attention to Sun Yu'e just now, she thought she was sitting in the carriage behind, then she raised her head and saw Xu Xian standing beside her sullenly.The same goes for this child. With such a good opportunity to perform, she didn't move again.

Xu Xian glanced at Zhao Jing, curled her lips and lowered her head, looking as if she had been wronged again, Zhao Jing smiled and said: "It's better for the old lady to follow Mama Zhang. Outside, there are many people on the street, so it would be bad if you get lost."

Mrs. Xu nodded again and again, and then told the two nannies who were holding the twins: "You should follow closely. If you go on a business trip, go to Xingyue Tower and wait. Don't run around. The children must be held in your hands. Let them walk on their own."

The two nannies agreed one by one, and the group was about to open the way, when Xu Si'an suddenly came forward from behind, took a baby from the nannie's hand, kissed each other and said: "Mother, don't worry about us, play with your own Go, Brother Bao, Sister Hui, we will take it with us!"

Zhao Jing felt that these words were a bit strange, in broad daylight, where did "we" come from?She glanced left and right, and she was the only one standing closest to Xu Si'an.

"Uncle, are you tired?" Sister Hui wiped Xu Si'an's face with a handkerchief, her tender hands dangling on his face, but Xu Si'an seemed to be enjoying himself, stretching her neck to touch him. Sister Hui's small hand, Sister Hui giggled, and the handkerchief fell to the ground as soon as the little meaty hand was loosened.

Zhao Jing followed behind them, and stepped forward to help them pick up the handkerchiefs.The ground is not dirty, just covered with some dust, it must not be used to wipe your face again.

Sister Hui pouted and said, "Brother, do you have a handkerchief? Uncle is tired and sweating!"

"I'm a man, so I don't have this kind of thing." Brother Bao dismissed Sister Hui's proposal, and Sister Hui curled her lips aggrieved, looked at Zhao Jing pitifully and said, "Auntie, do you have a handkerchief?" ? Can you lend it to me?"

Handkerchief...of course there are...but you borrowed it to wipe the sweat of that person, so...

Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, what should I do?It seemed heartless to say no, embarrassing not to say no.

"Auntie..." Sister Hui suddenly opened her hands and threw herself towards Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing hugged her in a hurry, smiled wryly, and handed her her handkerchief.
