The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 157 What?Propose marriage? (1)
Over there, Xu Si'an could not help but shift his gaze to Zhang's mother when he heard it in a cloud.

Seeing the anxious look of the old lady, Mama Zhang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she had to look at Xu Si'an with a smiling face, and seeing him looking at him in a daze, she suppressed a smile and said, "Master Hou , what is the old lady most anxious about, don't you know, Lord Hou?"

Xu Si'an suddenly realized that for Mrs. Xu, the thing she cared most about was her own lifelong event.

Xu Si'an lost his father at the age of 17. Excluding the three years of keeping his filial piety, the next five or six years have been spent fighting in the South and North. The time spent in the capital is only a month. Well, he left on the night of getting married, and even made such a good show, it can be said that it was not good fortune to trick people.

Now he likes Zhao Jing, but Xu Si'an doesn't know if she has that kind of meaning for him.After all, the two of them had such a night, even though he just sat there and did nothing, but if he chased him too fast, he was afraid that the other party would feel that he was taking advantage of others.

He was like an ant on a hot pot every day because of this matter, and his heart was in a state of agitation. The more he saw that person, the deeper his thoughts became, but he was a big man, and he would not hesitate to say these words. He couldn't say it, so he could only keep being nice to her, and when she suddenly realized one day and could look at him a few more times, he would have more courage to speak out.

"My mother asked me what I was thinking about, so what was my mother thinking about? The son naturally obeyed his mother's wishes."

Xu Si'an knew that Mrs. Xu liked Zhao Jing. When he first returned to the capital, Mrs. Xu would praise Zhao Jing from time to time every day, but Xu Si'an also understood that as a female gentleman, maybe Zhao Jing Jing is very qualified, but if she is the future mistress of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Xu may not be willing to nod her head.

"Obviously I asked you first, why did you ask me again?" Mrs. Xu frowned and looked at Xu Si'an, and finally couldn't help it: "I just want to know, do you really like Mr. Zhao? You You're a grown-up man, and if you like someone, you have to say it out, is it possible to wait for the girl to speak first? I'm anxious for you!"

When Xu Si'an heard that Mrs. Xu was talking about this person, her heart sank to her chest, but Xu Si'an still felt a little hot when his old lady said it so seriously.

"Mother...Mother...son means...Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao just entered our Marquis Mansion. I shouldn't scare her. It's better to wait for a while, and it's not too late to talk about it after a while."

After hearing this, Zhang's mother was already beaming with joy, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is so impatient, how can this last for a while? Isn't it the same as you leading troops to fight? You must preemptively strike, simply It's good to be neat, wait for a while, what if someone runs away? The old lady is still waiting to hold her grandson!"

Xu Si'an usually acted swiftly and resolutely, but this was the first time that he was chasing his daughter-in-law. Besides, seeing Zhao Jing's appearance, I was afraid that she was still a little awkward, and that she would be angry when the time came.Xu Si'an rubbed his chin and said, "She has already entered the Hou's Mansion as a lady, can she still run away?"

"Why don't you run away? Master Hou didn't ask, how many maids come out of the palace every year, and who are those maids married to? It's just our luck, just met Mr. Zhao." The old lady usually doesn't love When going out, although Mama Han has a lot of things to do at home in the Marquis's Mansion, she is not good at these matters of human relations and communication. Thanks to Mama Zhang, she understands it well, and it sounds like a treasure.

"In old days, in the old department of Lord Hou, the noble concubine accepted by the son of Guang'anbo came out of the palace. His son was the dragon guard in the palace. Before the girl left the palace, she asked for the grace of the empress dowager. The ones with good looks will marry. Unless the girls who come out of the palace are those who don’t want to marry themselves, they can find someone else, let alone someone as talented and beautiful as Mr. Zhao. The old slave guessed in private, The reason why Mr. Zhao didn't marry him is probably because he didn't want to be a concubine?"

After hearing this, Xu Si'an suddenly remembered that night in the Prince Regent's Mansion, how could a smart and strong woman like Zhao Jing be willing to be just a concubine?He also never thought of asking Zhao Jing to be his concubine. If he wants to marry her, he must be an upright Mrs. Hou.

"Mr. Zhao is called Qu Cai if he becomes a concubine! What is the future of being a concubine? Pointing to giving birth to two children for a man, he may not be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of himself when he grows old. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to change it, but what Zhang’s mother said has some truths, a girl who wants to grow up should not have the intention of being a concubine.” The old Hou Ye never took a concubine in his life, and the old lady Xu lived comfortably and frankly. , I also have my own views on those women who are willing to be concubines. Now that Zhang's mother mentioned this again, she feels that Zhao Jing is motivated and sensible.
