The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 183 To meet him (5)
Such a thing has never happened before, and in the past few decades, the old lady Xu has not even blushed with Sun Mama.You must know that Mama Sun's two sons died for the Hou's mansion, and even her man died on the battlefield when he went out with the old Hou.But now Zhao Jing enjoys too much in front of the old lady, and even Xu Si'an is fascinated by her, so she has to wake up in her heart.

Could it be that what she told Mother Sun yesterday was a lie?So what exactly is Xu Si'an looking for in Zhao Jing?

"Sit down." The little maid put Xiudun in the living room, Zhao Jing called her to sit down, and Mother Han sat in a small corner with Xiudun, feeling uneasy, her first day of the month this month On that day, I got it with the outsider, and I had already put it outside to earn interest. Usually, the outer court gave money to the inside at the beginning of the month, and she only withheld money until the middle of the month. There is also interest for this 20 days. One or twenty taels of silver, if Zhao Jing asked about it now, she would be unable to do business.

Mother Zhang mentioned this to Zhao Jing early in the morning. Her grandson Chang Geng worked in front of Xu Si'an, and because she was away all the year round, she went to collect the monthly money on the fifth day of every month.The monthly money outside was given on the fifth day of the month, but the monthly money inside was not distributed until the fifteenth day. Only Mother Han knew where the money went in the middle of the ten days.

The old lady was surrounded by maids placed by Mama Sun, and no one would mention the monthly money. Mama Zhang sometimes said a few words casually in front of the old lady. It’s all done without you, and it’s okay to be late for a day or two.” Zhang’s mother had nothing to say, the old lady couldn’t grasp the point at all, Zhang’s mother said that this matter was to attract Han’s mother to be greedy for ink, but people I just remember that you are not missing a tael of money... After this back and forth, Zhang's mother also lost the mind to talk about things, just as Mrs. Xu said, "I will not miss you", she was lazy. Nevermind.

Mother Han sat for a while, and seeing that Zhao Jing didn't speak, but casually flipped through the roster in her hand, she felt even more anxious.She just wanted to say a few casual words to solve the embarrassment, but Zhao Jing said: "Mother Zhang said that she only cared about the old lady's affairs these years, and didn't care about the affairs of this family. It's all about you, Mother Han." It is handled by one hand, and Mama Han must be familiar with the family life, although I have been here for a while, I am still unfamiliar, let Mama Han help me identify people today."

Seeing that Zhao Jing never mentioned Yueyin's matter, Mother Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, she escaped a catastrophe, and said courteously: "Mr. The servants in this house still recognize a few of them."

Zhao Jing nodded and said: "That's all right." She called the little maid beside her and told all the women in the kitchen in the inner courtyard to come over first, and it's not time for dinner yet. It is enough to ask a servant girl to watch the fire.

After a while, twenty or so women and daughters-in-law from the kitchen came over, standing in two or three rows from the chef, the helper, the red and white table, the pastry chef, the vegetable washer, the comprador, and the fire lady.

Zhao Jing asked Mother Han to introduce herself one by one, and she didn't ask any more questions, and only asked Mother Han to introduce them one by one.Occasionally, there was something that Han's mother didn't know, so Zhao Jing asked her to tell her.
