The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 149 The Temperament Like a Wooden Fish (1)
When Mrs. Xu saw Xu Si'an coming, her whole heart returned to her son. She even felt sorry for Sun Yu'e's grievance just now, and asked Xu Si'an with a smile, "Why did you come here? Didn't you say that it was early in the morning?" Are you going out?"

Xu Si'an put down the teacup in his hand calmly, turned to the old lady and said, "Just now the servant of the palace came to pass a message that the regent king is coming to the palace to meet the saint, and he told me to go later, so I came to see my mother."

Xu Si'an also didn't expect that the old lady would call Zhao Jing over today. Zhao Jing usually had breakfast in Ziwei Garden, and the girls went to school at the end of the morning, and Zhao Jing always went there at the end of the day. Watching the old mothers prepare the hot tea and light the charcoal stove, she began to write big characters slowly.When the girls passed by, her handwriting was almost finished, and they were pasted on the wooden shelf she ordered to make, teaching in a decent manner.

Probably because the two brothers who lived outside the courtyard had a new teacher, so that Xu Si'an recently inspected his homework more frequently. In the past, he ordered the servants to call them to the study room for questioning, but now he likes to go there in person. Take a walk over to Jinhui Pavilion.These were all Xu Si'an saw when he went to Jinhui Pavilion.

Hearing Xu Si'an mentioned the Prince Regent, the old lady Xu couldn't help but asked: "I heard that there was another fight in the south, so I won't let you go out again this time, right? Guess you came back from the north, this bench is not hot yet!"

Zhao Jing also held the teacup and listened. Last time the regent said that he would go to Jiangnan in person, I don’t know if it’s true or not. After all, the little emperor is still young. .

"If the imperial court sends me there, then I am obliged to do so, but this time the prince intends to personally conquer, most of the people in the south are the remnants of the previous dynasty. I have never dealt with those people, so I am not as familiar with them as the prince." Xu Si'an said to Zhao Jing. He glanced around and saw that she was listening carefully, his eyebrows frowned inadvertently.

The Prince Regent never mentioned the incident to him that day, and he did not speak in front of Zhou Yi. However, the guards of the palace were not for display. If he wanted to come, the Prince Regent knew who took Zhao Jing away that day. Since both of them kept silent If you don't mention it, then it's tacit understanding.

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with a smile: "That's all right, you haven't been in the capital for the past two years, so you should stay for a while longer and take care of your lifelong event .”

Ordinary people, if their first spouse dies, they must keep their filial piety for one year, but something like this happened in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and Miss Gu's coffin was returned to Duke Jing's Mansion, so the old lady didn't care about it!She only thought that his son had never married a wife, and she was anxious to find someone to come in earlier.When Mrs. Xu said this, she glanced at Zhao Jing intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Jing's complexion is extremely fair, she looks flawless, her rosy lips are covered with a touch of rouge, her eyebrows are drooping, and there is a bit of tenderness and tenderness between the brows, and a bit of tenderness. The toughness must be strong inside, which really makes Mrs. Xu like it more and more.

She turned her head and glanced at her son again. He was handsome and handsome, with clear eyebrows. Although he was a bit too serious, his appearance was also one of a kind. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had been tanned over the years, he would not be inferior to those young masters in the capital. of.

Seeing Xu Si'an like this, the old lady Xu felt distressed again. If it weren't for that accident, wouldn't Xu Si'an be a son who studied at ease, why would he want to fight bloody battles and risk his life to earn fame?Seeing her son's more distinct outline, Mrs. Xu's eyes softened a little.

"I drank the white fungus and longan soup that you sent someone last night. I don't usually have supper at night. I'm getting old, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I eat too much."

Zhao Jing's cheeks turned red when she heard this. Didn't Songhetang deliver the supper last night?How did it become a gift from Xu Si'an?She raised her head and looked at Xu Si'an in some puzzlement, but the man didn't pay attention to her gaze, and just said to the old lady Xu: "My son saw that you didn't have much for dinner yesterday. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I let the kitchen ready."

"It's because of your heart. Did you stay up all night reading military books yesterday? Otherwise, how could you think of food?" Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows and asked Xu Si'an. She really knew this son too well, and she didn't look like a careful person.

Xu Si'an smiled and said, "Mother, don't laugh at your son."

For a while Xu Si'an and Mrs. Xu were chatting and laughing, time passed quickly, and the maid who was preparing meals in the side hall came in to spread the word that breakfast was ready, and the old lady, Master Hou and the girls were invited to sit down.

Zhao Jing originally thought that Xu Si'an was not here, but now that she saw Xu Si'an coming, she was embarrassed to stay here, so she stood up with a smile and said: "Old lady, take it easy, I'm going back to Ziwei Garden."

"Since you are here, how can I let you go away on an empty stomach? Let's come and eat together. Our family is not the kind of family that sticks to rules. Sit down and eat together!" Mrs. Xu is informal, in her opinion , sitting down to a meal is really no big deal.
