The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 131 New Home (1)
The carriage soon arrived at the Hou's Mansion. Zhao Jing usually entered and exited through the corner door on the right. The red-painted door under the gray tile and white wall was open.There were a few servants standing at the door, and when they saw Mama Zhang's carriage stopped, they all came forward to meet her.

Those who put wooden ladders put wooden ladders, those who led horses led horses, and those who supported the carriage to keep from panic. Zhao Jing helped Zhang's mother get out of the carriage. Saluted, and shouted: "Girl is good!"

Zhao Jing also liked it when she saw it, and Zhang's mother on the side smiled and said: "This is the rule that the girl learned when she was in the Hou's Mansion. She has to welcome everyone. If we follow the old rules, our slaves in the Hou's Mansion will be fine." Not like that."

Zhao Jing nodded and said with a smile: "There are no rules, no rules, but the Hou Mansion has come here for so many years, so you don't have to rush, Mom."

Mother Zhang nodded with emotion, and was about to help Zhao Jing enter the door when she heard a few horseshoes not far away.Zhao Jing turned around and raised her head, seeing Xu Si'an riding a horse gallantly.His back was facing the warmest sunshine in winter, as if there were thousands of rays of light coming from behind him.

The man and the horse approached slowly, like a god coming down to earth, and stopped in front of him. Xu Si'an rolled his legs, got off the horse sideways, and stood in front of Zhao Jing.

"Here you come? Have you brought all your things?" He asked her expressionlessly, his voice also in the usual routine tone.

After so many days, those little entanglements in Zhao Jing's heart have long since disappeared, and the two of them seemed to have agreed to this tacit understanding, so Zhao Jing also routinely said to Xu Si'an: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, I have brought all the things."

Seeing Xu Si'an at the side, Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Why is Hou Ye still at home? Didn't you say that you have something to go out this morning?"

Xu Si'an clenched his fist and cleared his throat, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "Suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with in the study, so it will be delayed."

Zhang's mother didn't know that this was an excuse, she smiled and said: "Since it's delayed, Master Hou might as well go out in the afternoon, half an hour later, it will be time for lunch."

Xu Si'an nodded, and glanced at Zhao Jing's body again. Fortunately, people had already seen it, and he didn't think it was in vain to wait all this time.

"It's urgent, so I'll go first." Xu Si'an led the horse, turned over, and waved the whip in his hand, and the horse raised its front hooves and galloped away as if it had become spiritual.

Zhao Jing looked at the back of Xu Si'an riding away on horseback, always felt a little strange, she thought for a while before she suddenly realized, she frowned and said to Zhang's mother: "I don't know where Master Hou has gone. It's so cold to go out. If you don't bring a servant, why don't you even put on a big cloak?"

Mother Zhang didn't even think about it, so she smiled and said: "I probably forgot, Master Hou doesn't have a maid by his side, but tomorrow I have to discipline my grandson, how to be a servant, I don't know anything ..."

After more than half a month of maintenance, Ziweiyuan has taken on a new look.Looking at the furniture, furnishings, and antiques that had been rearranged in the room, Zhao Jing knew that Zhang's mother must have taken care of them.Although Zhao Jing has never been to Linglong Court where Sun Yu'e lives, she also knows that with Mother Han's aesthetics, such a house can never be tidied up.

"The girl still likes it. Master Hou said that the girl is someone who lived in the palace. She has good things but not many things. Let me think about it. I haven't cleaned the house for more than ten years. My hands are very raw. Fortunately, Lord Hou is so generous that he opened the treasury of the outer courtyard to let the old slave pick things."

Standing at the door, Zhao Jing looked up at the large splashed-ink painting of "Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes" hanging in the middle hall. The couplets on the left and right said: "No worries, Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes are ordinary residents; If you want to linger, the past is chasing dreams."

Zhao Jing's heart twitched slightly, she was like a layman, and like a dream chaser.

"Mother Zhang is indeed a capable person. I like this house very much, especially this painting." Zhao Jing looked at the crane flying in the clouds in the painting. She wanted to go out of the palace before, but she just wanted to live like this Free and unrestrained life like wild cranes?

"This painting was chosen by Lord Hou, and this old servant still thinks that pair of rich and noble peonies looks better!"

Zhao Jing was a little stunned, and didn't know how to answer, so she heard Zhang's mother continue to say: "The couplet was written by Hou Ye himself. Hou Ye used to study literature, and he was good at writing, but it's a pity that he is now wielding knives and guns." went."

Zhao Jing just read the content of the couplet, and didn't read every word carefully. Now that she heard what Zhang's mother said, she walked forward with great interest, and read one by one.

The font is flamboyant, powerful, and bony.

At the end, but the seal was not stamped, Zhao Jing asked: "Does the Marquis not have a private seal? Why didn't you see it stamped?"
