The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 125
The street was still brightly lit and full of tourists, Xu Si'an stood at the door and looked at the passers-by in front of the door with a dispirited look.He didn't like excitement and crowds. He was used to seeing thousands of troops on the battlefield, and when he returned home, he just wanted to be alone for a few days.But without anyone knowing it, he invited Mrs. Xu for the first time, to go shopping in the street and enjoy the lanterns together.

Xu Si'an gave a wry smile, and saw a few more female guests coming at the door, he stood like a door god with such a bold sword.He lowered his head and clenched his fists to clear his throat, leaned to the side of the door, and let them in.

The female guest who entered the door was probably tired from walking and accidentally tripped over the one-foot-high threshold at the door. She almost fell down. She staggered and stood still. When she raised her head, she happened to see Zhao Jing helping Mrs. Xu get down Lou, turned his head to the young woman who came to help him belatedly, and said mercilessly: "Look at other people's daughter-in-law, and then look at yourself!"

The woman who was scolded blushed in an instant, followed by Zhao Jing who was supporting Mrs. Xu.

Xu Si'an raised his head and saw Zhao Jing sending the old lady downstairs with a blushing face.He also heard what he said just now, and he wasn't embarrassed, but rather pleased.

"Why don't you find a place to sit for a while? Just wait here at the door?" Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her son, and didn't take what the man said just now to heart.Seeing that the old lady didn't care, Zhao Jing finally felt a little less embarrassed, she sent them to the door and said, "Old lady, it's windy outside, remember to soak your feet after you get back, and sleep when you are warm."

Xu Si'an took over the old lady from Zhao Jing's hand, the moon was in the sky, and it was already past the time of Hai, he turned around and asked Zhao Jing: "Miss Zhao, isn't she leaving?"

Zhao Jing blessed Xu Si'an, lowered her eyebrows and said, "I'll take Aunt Zhu's car back later, Lord Hou don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Xu Si'an frowned slightly, and the events of that day came to mind, and he was a little worried.

"Come with us, I will send someone to see you off when you arrive at the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Xu couldn't see the delicate relationship between the two, but it was really inconvenient for a girl to go home alone at night. Since it was Marquis Wu'an who picked her up, it should naturally be from Marquis Wu'an's mansion. Send it back in person.The old lady smiled and said: "Ms. Jing, let's go with us. Anyway, it's on the way. Aunt Zhu's business is just right here. I don't know when it will close. When will you wait?"

Zhao Jing thought for a while, and the old lady said that there was some reason. The Xingyue Building was overcrowded today, and she didn't know when the door would be closed. If she went back too late, her brother and sister-in-law might be worried again.Now they have also become frightened birds, and there can be no more mistakes.

"Then I'm going to bother the old lady again." Zhao Jing said, and followed the big guy to the intersection where the carriage was parked.

Both Qi Jiabao and Qi Jiahui were already asleep, and the nanny held them firmly in her hands. Zhao Jing stepped forward to help them cover up the cloaks they were wearing, and walked aside to talk to Xu Xian.

The little girl looked sullen when she came out, and now she doesn't look happy anymore.

"What's wrong with Sister Xian? Are you having fun outside?" Zhao Jing asked her.

Xu Xian shook her head, her slender eyebrows were drawn together, and she paused for a moment before she said, "No, I'm just happy to see that Brother Bao and Sister Hui have a godmother."

Does your nose turn red when you are happy, as if you are about to shed tears?Zhao Jing didn't believe her words.

"Sister Xian also misses her mother?"

Xu Xian sniffled, raised her head and saw the old lady some distance ahead, and then whispered: "I don't remember what my mother looks like, I can't remember."

Xu Xian was only two or three years old when she was brought into the Hou's mansion, and now she is a 13-year-old girl. Naturally, she couldn't remember what her biological mother looked like.It's just that Zhao Jing vaguely heard from Zhang's mother that Xu Xian's biological mother seems to be still alive.It's just that such a mother, how can Xu Xian go to see her?
"Sister Xian, be good, don't be sad, the old lady doesn't like your mother, the old lady will be angry when she sees you like this." Although it hurts to say this, it is the truth, Xu Xian wants old lady Xu to change her mind , you have to cut off all contact with your biological mother.

After Xu Xian heard this, she nodded her head vigorously, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and suppressed her sadness.She also didn't want Mrs. Xu to sigh when she saw her.

When everyone arrived at the intersection, they each got into the carriage, and Xu Si'an still rode along beside the carriage.Zhao Jing learned how to behave this time, and stopped casually talking to the old lady, Xu Si'an was outside, if he heard anything, she would feel embarrassed again.
