The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 132 New Home (2)
Mother Zhang only smiled and said: "Master Hou saw this painting and wrote it for fun. I thought it was pretty good, so I secretly took it out, framed it and hung it up. Anyway, Master Hou will not see the girl." Even in the yard, you can’t see it.”

Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing when she heard that, Zhang's mother is really calculating, but indeed, how could Xu Si'an come here where a female gentleman lives in her place?

It's just that this word is really well written, Zhao Jing thought to herself, if it wasn't for the sudden change in the Marquis of Wu'an, with Xu Si'an's talent and learning, maybe he could really get into an official career with the imperial examination, but it's a pity...

"This painting is good, and this calligraphy is also good." Zhao Jing praised her sincerely, her eyes still fell on the pair written by Xu Si'an.

Zhang's mother went outside and called some maidservants in the yard to come in.

"Girl, these are assigned by the old lady to the girl, and they are all selected by the old slave."

Zhao Jing sat in the hall and took a look. She knew a few of them when she came to the Hou Mansion to attend the funeral, and she didn't introduce herself any more. I bought it new later.

Mother Zhang took the two little girls to Zhao Jing, and said with a smile: "Girl, these are the little maids bought back after the year, and they haven't been trained much. The old slave thought, it's better to let them follow the girl first." For a while, at least learn some rules, no matter who you follow in the future, it will be good."

Zhao Jing looked at the appearances of these two little girls, although they were young and hadn't bloomed yet, they already had a bit of beauty, and they would definitely grow up in the future.Zhao Jing understood what mother Zhang was thinking at a glance.

Xu Xian is not young now, and she will be out of the cabinet in two years, and she has such a temperament, she may not be able to win over a man.It would be a different matter if there were a few reliable and good-looking maids around her.

Zhao Jing lowered her eyebrows and thought about it. Although she didn't have any great skills to help Xu Xian, at least she could help her train two caring maids. She nodded and smiled, "Mother Zhang is still thoughtful."

Zhang's mother knew that Zhao Jing was a smart person, and she knew everything, but she was a little embarrassed, and she smiled and pulled others over to greet Zhao Jing.

Once settled down, it was time for lunch. Mother Zhang ordered the maids to go to the kitchen to serve Zhao Jing the meal, and then went to Mrs. Xu's Songhe Hall to answer the questions.

Intermittent laughter was coming from Songhe Hall. As soon as Mama Zhang entered, she heard Sister Hui asking her, "Mama Zhang, is Aunt Jing here? Why didn't she come with you?"

Mama Zhang blessed the old lady, and found that Xu Si'an was there, and she was still drinking tea with a calm expression.
"Your Aunt Jing is here, she just came here, I took her to Ziwei Garden first, after lunch, she will come to see the old lady again."

Qi Jiahui held Qi Jiabao's hand and said, "Let's go find Aunt Jing later, shall we?"

"Look at how anxious you are!" The old lady leaned on the soft couch, her face blooming like a smile, she propped her forehead and said, "From now on, I can no longer call you Aunt Jing, but Mr., you understand? "

Qi Jiahui curled her lips and said reluctantly: "I just like to call you aunt!"

Xu Si'an put down the teacup in his hand, and raised the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter what you shout, but just remember to respect the teacher."

As soon as Xu Si'an spoke, all the children nodded like smashing garlic, but Sun Yu'e, who was standing beside the old lady, looked unhappy.Zhang's mother glanced at her, and saw a girl standing on the other side of Mrs. Xu, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a cute and charming appearance, with a small face that didn't smile, There is also a bit of sweet appearance.

Mother Zhang only smiled and said, "Where did such an outstanding girl come from?"

When Madam Zhang asked, Mrs. Xu just smiled and said, "Don't you remember? She is the granddaughter of Dr. Gu Jun, nicknamed Lianqiao. When the old Hou Ye was sick when she was young, she also followed her grandfather in our house. Have you lived there for a while?"

It has been more than ten years since the old Hou Ye was ill, and the little glutinous rice dumpling has grown into a big girl, how can Zhang's mother remember.

"The old lady has a good memory. I can't remember anything. If I can recognize this, wouldn't she be very bright?"

The old lady's relationship with Zhang's mother has eased a lot recently, and she listened to her deliberately flattering, so why didn't she smile from ear to ear, and said with a smile: "How can I know that it was Lord Hou who brought her back. Lord Hou heard that I have My back hurts, and ordinary plasters don’t work, so I called her over, she learned some medical skills from her grandfather, and she has good hand skills, just pushed it for me for a while, and now it’s really much better.”

After the old lady finished speaking, the conversation suddenly changed, and she asked Mama Zhang again: "Miss Jing, do you like the place you chose for her? When I saw her last time, she lost a lot of weight. Now it's just right, let Lianqiao see it too." Look, good conditioning."

Xu Si'an paused for a while while holding the tea, thinking why he didn't think of this, but my old lady is more reliable.
