The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 158 What?Propose marriage? (2)
Xu Si'an has been listening quietly, and seeing that Mrs. Xu is still full of praise for Zhao Jing, she paused for a long time, and suddenly said: "Since my mother also thinks that Mr. Zhao is good, when I come back from Zhuangzi, I will send you People go to the Zhao family to propose marriage!"

"What? Marriage proposal?" Now it was the turn of Mrs. Xu and Ms. Zhang to be surprised.

Zhao Jing stayed at home for a day, and went to Xingyue Tower to sit and sit when she had nothing to do.Although Dayong's folk customs are conservative, he is much better than Zhao Jing imagined, and it's not like women can only stay in the back house and cannot leave the house.

Xingyue Tower will also invite people from the opera troupe to sing operas every now and then. There are both southern and northern tunes, and the wives and grandmas in the capital also like it very much, because it is more novel than the usual local operas in the capital.

Aunt Zhu led Zhao Jing to the stage in the backyard. The stage was built in the water, and there were nine curved bridges passing through it. Now that it's spring and the weather is getting warmer, the stage here is bustling again.

"The theatrical troupe I invited this time is a famous troupe by the Qinhuai River in the south. They came to the capital and were looking for a place to settle down, so I got there first. From the first day of junior high school, there are two performances every day. It's full, have you seen those people, some people listened to it for three days in a row, and they didn't get tired of it."

Zhao Jing followed Aunt Zhu's line of sight to see a rose-red figure sitting in the crepe gauze in the corridor on the second floor, Lanhua picked up a melon seed with her fingers, and licked it lazily.

"Isn't this the Xiuyun who used to be beside the Empress Dowager?"

"Isn't she the concubine for the son of Guang'an Bo? When the prince of Guang'an asked to marry her, he said that the main room of the family was about to die of illness, and that she would be able to get back up after only a year or two. Who knew it was coaxing her?" Yes, Mrs. Guang'an Bo Shizi is living well, and now she has given birth to a son-in-law. She was pregnant with one last year, and she didn't know why the child was not kept. It has been like this until now. There is no news. Now every day When she was free, she came to my side to listen to the opera. I have inquired about it. She only spends three liang of silver a month in Guang'anbo Mansion. I'm afraid it won't be long before the bodies she brought out from the palace will be squandered. , I don’t know what she is thinking?”

Zhao Jing just sighed after hearing this, since she was married to be a concubine at the beginning, she should always be vigilant, just like those who married into the Prince Regent's mansion, who didn't expect the princess to go one day I can vacate a place for myself to occupy, but now, although the princess is seriously ill, she is still alive... Looking forward to death is worse than being obedient and not wanting those who spend their time thinking.

Zhao Jing didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, but Aunt Zhu over there asked her with a smile: "How are you doing in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? Can you manage those children? If it's really a headache, I have another family here." The post that came down is a nice family, and there is only one girl in the family, and she is young, I am afraid that she is more obedient than those children in the Marquis of Wu'an."

Although Zhao Jing didn't plan to leave from the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, she couldn't help being a little curious after hearing this. After Aunt Zhu praised her family background, there may not be many families in the entire capital. Zhao Jing asked curiously: "Which one is it?"

"You must know this family, it's Uncle Guo's family, Uncle Guo has a daughter, now she's five years old, the old lady of their family wants to find a female husband to go back and teach the child the rules of the palace since childhood. "

When Aunt Zhu said this, Zhao Jing already understood in her heart that although the Empress Dowager has started to worry about setting up a heir for the little emperor, in the future, the daughter of the Wei family will definitely become a part of the harem.In fact, Zhao Jing still doesn't understand. Wei Mingzhen is a dignified Tanhualang, and the Empress Dowager Wei sits in the harem. Even if his daughter does not enter the palace, the Wei family will not lose their power. Even Zhao Jing felt a little distressed when he said that.

"The girl is only five years old, so why bother!" Zhao Jing sighed leisurely, and Aunt Zhu over there just came up and said, "You haven't heard of it in the Hou's mansion, and something happened to the Wei family recently. Son, Uncle Guo wants to recognize his biological mother who is outside, and take her back to the uncle's mansion to take care of her. Remove Uncle Guo from the family tree!"

When Zhao Jing heard this, she was stunned. She only thought Wei Mingzhen was out of tune at first, but she didn't expect to do such a thing!Although Zhao Jing doesn't like to gossip, she couldn't help but ask one more question: "Who is Uncle Guo's biological mother? If the old lady doesn't agree to take it back, then it's all right to let Uncle Guo take care of her outside. He has a filial piety, why should he do it like this!"

Zhao Jing just said this, but Aunt Zhu's face changed. Zhao Jing was just asking casually, but now she looked like someone who knew the inside story, so she squinted at her. Aunt Zhu was looked at by Zhao Jing. Embarrassed, he pulled her into the inner room, and secretly said: "I also heard the rumors outside, and I don't know if it's true or not. They said that Uncle Guo's biological mother was the Lady Zhulei from the former emperor's palace. !"
