The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 127 Undressing (1)
Zhao Jing's eyes were also a bit dazed. She lowered her head and saw the rose red satin embroidered shoes looming under her dress. The shadow she was standing on happened to be the shadow of Xu Si'an's head.

Zhao Jing quickly took two steps back, her face was burning, she wanted to say that she didn't do it on purpose, but more or less it was on purpose.This being caught in a formal way, it is really as embarrassing as it is.

The atmosphere was a bit embarrassing, Zhao Jing lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

"Let's go." Xu Si'an suddenly said again, and when Zhao Jing raised his head, he had already turned his back and walked a few steps away.

Zhao Jing followed, and when she raised her head, she saw Xu Si'an waiting for her at the door.He is tall and slender, not like a general general, wearing a navy blue round-neck robe with broad shoulders and narrow waist, his actions reveal a bit of resoluteness and decisiveness.

The coachman outside the door had already prepared the carriage. Zhao Jing supported the carriage and stepped up the wooden steps. Xu Si'an suddenly walked up, grabbed her waist, and sent her steadily to the carriage.Zhao Jing's heart skipped a beat, her hands trembled, and she almost fell down.

When Zhao Jing calmed down and finally sat down, the curtain flashed, and Xu Si'an also came in.

Zhao Jing retreated reflexively to the corner of the carriage, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Hou isn't riding a horse yet?"

"It's cold outside." Xu Si'an didn't look at Zhao Jing, unbuttoned his dark blue cloak and put it aside, propped his knees with his hands, and sat with a big horse.

It's really cold outside... That's enough reason... He was the one who sent him home, so why should he dislike him?But why do I always feel that something is wrong?
"Since Lord Hou feels cold, don't take off your cloak."

"It's hot inside." Xu Si'an glanced around in the carriage, and there was a lantern with horns hanging in the corner, so he could vaguely see Zhao Jing's appearance.The same carriage, the same people, Xu Si'an also felt a little embarrassed, there were so many family members in the Hou Mansion, it would not be inconvenient to just find one to see her off, but he still wanted to take this trip himself.

It was indeed very hot inside... The stove in the corner was still on, and Zhao Jing could see the red-hot charcoal fire inside through the copper net, and wisps of heat lingered in her heart.She lowered her eyebrows, as quiet as a portrait, and Xu Si'an sat opposite her with a solemn expression.

"Would you like to take off your cloak too?"

Seeing the sweat dripping from her forehead, Xu Si'an couldn't help opening her mouth. She was sweating because of the heat. When she got out of the carriage, the cold wind blew and she was easily chilled. She looked a little fragile. If she got sick again, would it be delayed? The day when you entered the Marquis Mansion to teach?

Zhao Jing didn't expect that the first thing Xu Si'an voluntarily said to her was to ask her to take off her clothes...

A man asks a woman to undress... As a woman, how can she agree?
"No, I'm not hot." Zhao Jing replied with a blushing face.

"Not sweating so much?" Xu Si'an raised his head, looked at Zhao Jing with a probing expression, and then ordered: "Take it off."

Zhao Jing clenched Xu fists in both hands, struggled for a long time, after thinking about it, she finally raised her hands and untied the tie of the cloak.

After taking off the cloak, he really felt much more comfortable. Although there was some cool wind blowing in from the curtains outside from time to time, it was not biting.Zhao Jing wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and then suddenly remembered that she had just lent the handkerchief to Sister Hui, and there were Xu Si'an's sweat stains on it.

With a flick of her hand, the handkerchief fell on the floor of the carriage, and Zhao Jing was in no mood to even pick it up at this time.It would be better for her not to meet Marquis Wu An again in the future, she really couldn't bear such embarrassment.

But Xu Si'an didn't feel this way at all. Seeing Zhao Jing staring at the handkerchief for a long time without moving, he bent down, picked up the handkerchief, and handed it to her, "Your handkerchief."

Zhao Jing bit her lip, took the handkerchief from his hand, and secretly put it in her sleeve.

The road from Marquis Wu'an's Mansion to Drum Tower Street is not far away, but Zhao Jing felt that it took half a century to walk. She gently lifted the curtain to see the scenery outside. The crowd dispersed and the lanterns were still there. It's not as lively.

The corner of Zhao Jing's mouth twitched. Next year's Lantern Festival, she must take her nephew and niece out for a stroll. I don't know if they are asleep now.

The alley is narrow, and there are carriages blocking the intersection, so the cars of the Hou Mansion cannot enter.Fortunately, the road inside is not far away. There are lanterns hanging on the doors of several houses. Zhao Jing got out of the car, put on her cloak, stood at the intersection and pointed to the third courtyard inside, and said to Xu Si'an: "Then One is my brother-in-law’s house, I’ll just walk in by myself, thank you, Lord Hou.”

"I know." Xu Si'an nodded, not intending to get in the car, "I inquired about it when I sent someone to deliver news to your brother and sister-in-law."

Zhao Jing's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that he sent someone to deliver the news that day, but he was careful, if he hadn't sent someone, I'm afraid brother and sister-in-law wouldn't know what to expect.
