The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 167 She Doesn't Even Want the Emperor (1)
When Zhao Jing woke up, Aunt Zhu had already gone to Xingyue Tower. She told Aunt Zhu what happened, and she felt a little relieved.To be honest, she was not the serious girl of Zhao Yong and Yuan Shi, so it seemed hypocritical to feel so uncomfortable.Zhao Jing sat up from the bed, the little maid outside saw that she was awake, and asked her if she wanted to wash up, she nodded and put on her clothes, and saw light rain falling outside the window.

Zhao Jing combed her hair and ate some breakfast. A few women came in to clean the room. She stood on the porch for a while, but her mood became quiet for a while.No matter what, Zhao Yong and Yuan Shi didn't tell themselves the truth, even if they secretly offered the man's tablet, they didn't hurt their sister.Things in this world are not for others to let go first. Now that she knows the truth, she can choose not to let go.

Zhao Jing asked her mother-in-law to call a car for her, and she planned to go back to Gulou Street, which was her home anyway, with relatives she couldn't bear to part with.The rain outside had lightened a bit, and when Zhao Jing got out of the car at the entrance of the alley, she was heading home with a small bundle, and happened to meet Aunt Li who was coming from the alley.

Zhao Jing remembered that when she came out of the palace the first day, Aunt Li joked, "Look at you brothers and sisters, you're twins, you don't really look like each other."

Now that I think about it, the eyes of the neighbors are sharp, probably only I am the one who is kept in the dark.When Aunt Li saw Zhao Jing coming home, she greeted her with a smile and said, "Girl Jing, why did you come back alone? I just passed by your house and saw someone coming from your house. She looked like a matchmaker. Could it be that she came to propose marriage to you again?" right?"

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment. Although she rejected Xu Si'an, according to his wishful thinking, could it be possible that she really invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage?Zhao Jing couldn't help but quicken her pace, walking fast in the light rain.

When she got to the door, she heard voices from inside, the long and drawn out voice of a matchmaker nagging there: "I said this sister-in-law, don't you look at how old your girl is, she is fifteen or sixteen-year-old Cardamom A young girl, or a 25-year-old girl with yellow flowers? 25, not to mention going to the Hou Mansion as a concubine at the age of [-], even if a man is willing to want her, that is thankful. The old lady of Wu'an Hou Mansion She is a philanthropic person, seeing that she is a lonely girl, that's why she thought about taking her in and making her a concubine for the Marquis. Of course, money is indispensable to you. If she has good luck in the future, she will have another child and a half When the woman comes out, she can be regarded as a reliance, don't you think..."

When Yuan Shi heard this, she became angry, and before the matchmaker finished speaking, she pointed at the bridge of the matchmaker's nose and scolded: "You matchmaker, how do you talk? No matter how old our girl is, it's her turn." If you don't come to warn me, get the hell out of here... What kind of Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is supposed to be a good family, but it turns out that they take advantage of people's danger like this..."

While talking, Yuan shi pulled the matchmaker out, opened the door panel with a bang, and saw Zhao Jing standing at the door, all wet.

"Sister...you...where did you come from?"

Zhao Jing turned her head, glanced at the matchmaker, a sneer appeared from the corner of her mouth, and said to her: "Please tell the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an, what can Zhao Jing do? I don't even have the qualifications to be a concubine, so I'd better ask the old lady to choose someone else!"

The matchmaker gave Zhao Jing a glance, turned around and left, and said sourly: "It's just a maid who has left the palace, what are you majestic about!"

Zhao Jing entered the house, and Yuan followed her in from behind and asked her, "Sister, didn't you go to the Zhuangzi of Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? Why did you come back by yourself? Could it be that they also forced you to be a concubine?"

Zhao Jing shook her head, she wanted to say a few heart-to-heart words with Yuan Shi, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she said it, Yuan Shi...she is not her own sister-in-law after all.

"It's nothing, I stayed there for one night and came back because I thought I left something at home."

Zhao Jing entered her room, she sat in front of the dressing table and was lost in thought for a long time, Xu Si'an said that she let herself wait for his sincerity, but his sincerity today really surprised her.So what if Mrs. Xu likes herself, with her own identity here, if she wants to enter the Hou's mansion to be Mrs. Hou, in the eyes of others, it is just a dream.

Zhao Jing straightened her temple hair, and tidied up her scattered thoughts. There is nothing in this world that can't be overcome. She doesn't even want the emperor, let alone Xu Si'an?
In Xinglongzhuang's mansion, Mrs. Xu was instructing the women to pack their bags. Mama Sun frowned and asked, "Why is the old lady only staying for two days and is leaving now? Is it not a good time to live here?" ?”

The old lady Xu sighed and said: "Where is it, Master Hou is going to go to war again. I don't have the intention to live here. He will go to the barracks tomorrow morning, and I want to go back and see him off."
