The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 179 To meet him (1)
If Zhao Jing didn't talk about these things, who would have thought of it?

In Mrs. Xu's heart, apart from Xu Si'an and a pair of twins who are good, there is only one Sun Yu'e who can catch her eyes. The two raised in the outer courtyard don't care at all.The boy who was Xu Sisheng's successor was originally the son of a distant relative in the old Hou family. Although he was still in the fifth service, he had no affection after all.I adopted him, but I just didn't want Xu Sisheng to end up like this.

As for Xu Si'an's other adoptive son, she didn't even care about it. It was just Xu Si'an's brotherhood and wanting to give him a proper identity so that he could raise that child.Even if that child becomes famous in the future, he will only be the adopted son of the Marquis Mansion, and it will be his ancestral family that will prosper.

Besides, the two children were disciplined by Xu Si'an, which was a bit harsh. On weekdays, they would only come to Songhe Hall to greet the old lady on the day of rest, and the old lady was not really close to them.But Zhao Jing knew that Xu Si'an actually valued these two children very much.Take the matter of that gentleman last time, she just said a few words casually, and Xu Si'an fired the original gentleman.It was only later that Zhao Jing heard that the gentleman Xu Si'an invited after him was a famous teacher who had taught in Yushan Academy.It can be seen that he has a heart of hope for his son to become a dragon.

"I remember." Zhang's mother replied, seeing Zhao Jing thinking of this, she said a few words with emotion: "The old lady doesn't always take care of the affairs of the outer courtyard. It's because I've neglected the two young masters, sir, you're really careful to think of this."

Qi Jiabao is still young now, and it's not time for him to live alone in the outer courtyard, but thinking about Xu Si'an's attitude of treating everyone equally, he will suffer in the future.But he is the old lady's darling, and I'm afraid there will be troubles at that time, but Zhao Jing also thought of this, so that when Qi Jiabao makes a grievance in front of the old lady Xu, Xu Si'an will be hard to behave.

Zhao Jing's dinner here is very simple. Usually, Mrs. Xu dotes on her children and grandchildren. Every night, she eats big fish and meat, and the meat balls eaten by her two little grandchildren are the same.The dishes Zhao Jing ordered today were a combination of meat and vegetables. In this season, there are tender and young seedlings. She ordered river mussel seedling soup; and there were freshly sprouted Malan heads. She asked the kitchen to blanch them and cut them into fine cubes. Accompanied by sesame oil and dried tofu, it is best to make cold dishes.The meat dish is not a big fish or meat dish, but a steamed sea bass, plus rouge goose breast, three fresh meatballs, and a steamed asparagus.

The two twins might not even look at these dishes when they were in Songhetang on weekdays, but today they ate delicately and deliciously in Ziweiyuan.Qi Jiabao clamored for another bowl of rice, Zhao Jing was afraid that he would not sleep well at night, so the nanny only added half a bowl of millet porridge for him, and he drank it all in one breath with the cold Malan salad.

Zhao Jing wiped Qi Jiabao's mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't eat, and I won't be able to sleep at night if I eat again."

Qi Jiabao leaned on the soft couch with his belly stretched out, two chubby legs stretched out on top of his body, his eyes rolled around: "Sir, are you comfortable here at night?"

Zhao Jing was watching Xu Xian and Qi Jiahui playing rope, after hearing this, she turned her head and asked him: "Brother Bao, what do you mean by that? How do you call it comfortable? Doesn't Brother Bao sleep well at night?"

Qi Jiabao frowned, seeing that his nanny was no longer coming, he straightened up and whispered to Zhao Jing: "The nanny snores at night so that I can't sleep, and the old ancestor also snores, I have been suffering from insomnia for the past few days... "

Looking at Qi Jiabao's resentful eyes, Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing... Insomnia?Does he know what insomnia is at such a young age?

Unexpectedly, Qi Jiabao's words were unanimously agreed by Qi Jiahui. She didn't even play with the rope, jumped off the stool, walked up to Zhao Jing and buried her in her arms: "Sir, brother said It's true that my ancestor loved snoring the most, and when she started snoring, she would always shush... ah... shush..."

Qi Jiahui pouted her small mouth to imitate the old lady's snoring, but Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing, pinched her small mouth and said: "The old lady loves you so she keeps you in Songhetang. Do you still despise her? Then I will tell her tomorrow that the two of you have grown up and will start to have your own yard. Brother Bao will go to live with your two cousins ​​in the outer courtyard, sister Hui thinks Where do you live, pick a place yourself, and I will send someone to help you clean it out."

As soon as these words were said, the faces of the two children immediately wrinkled. Qi Jiabao turned over from the soft couch, squeezed into Zhao Jing's arms and said, "Auntie, I just want to sleep with my aunt...how about auntie?" OK?"

Zhao Jing's face became hot when Qi Jiabao called her aunt, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot. Although she was happy in her heart, she still couldn't help saying: "I said you are not allowed to call me aunt, brother Bao forgot again?"

"Then I won't call you aunt, sir, can you promise me to sleep with you today?"

Qi Jiabao looked at Zhao Jing with his big eyes, his pitiful little expression really made Zhao Jing cute.Zhao Jing thought for a while and asked him, "Then if you don't wet the bed, you can stay..."

When Qi Jiahui heard this, she raised her hands and said, "Sir, I don't wet the bed either, I don't have to sweat all night, I can sleep in it!"

After Zhao Jing heard this, she suddenly felt that her head was getting bigger.

But in fact, she originally wanted to keep the two of them here today. Mrs. Xu was ill. Whether it was a heart attack or a real headache, she had to let her have a good rest.Besides, although Mrs. Xu didn't punish Mrs. Sun today, Zhao Jing could tell from Mrs. Zhang's shock that Mrs. Xu was the most unkind to Mrs. Sun this time.She is such a face-saving and affectionate person, she can stand on her side today, and she didn't really let someone check her body for her. This is already an improvement for Zhao Jing.

Mama Sun has been by Mrs. Xu's side for decades, and this kind of affection must be extraordinary. If she really wants to dig out this cancer, she may only do it slowly and imperceptibly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing also sighed. The old man is getting older, and she should also take care of her mental health, so as not to make her unhappy. Let's discuss these things first.

After the nannies washed the twins, Zhao Jing carried them to bed. She made another bedding on the kang opposite the bed, and she slept outside their green gauze closet.
