The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

191 Chapter 1 Anxious to Hug Grandson ([-])
Empress Dowager Wei was startled by Zhou Yi's eyes, her heart suddenly beat violently, and she felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

She calmed down, turned around and sat on the rose chair with huanghuali openwork carved Luan patterns behind her, raised her head and said to Zhou Yi: "It's not easy for the prince to recognize a righteous sister, and this is the first since the founding of Dayong..." She After a pause, he finally continued with some difficulty: "But since the prince has made up his mind, the Ai family will bring this matter up with the emperor in a few days, and the emperor will probably be happy to come."

The night wind howled outside the Yongshou Palace, crying like weeping in the empty palace, Zhou Yi wore a black robe and walked all the way, the heavy sound of the palace door being locked behind him.

Zhao Jing couldn't get up the next day, she was already weak, and after the drowning incident yesterday, she caught the wind and cold.The little maids saw her lying on the bed drowsy, and they didn't dare to neglect her, so they hurriedly sent someone to call Mama Zhang over.

Mrs. Xu knew that she was sick and came to see her in person. At this time Zhao Jing was already awake, but her body was weak, and the person sent to call for the imperial physician had not returned yet. She was wearing a pea-green jacket and leaning on the pillow wash your face.

The twins and Xu Xian also came over, and because they wanted to go inside to see Zhao Jing, they were stopped by Mrs. Xu and said: "Mr. At one point, I will play with you."

Zhao Jing felt embarrassed when she heard this, and handed the sweat towel to the little maid and started chatting with the old lady: "The old lady said so, then I still come in, I have caught the wind and cold, it would be bad if I passed people Yes, the old lady should sit outside too."

The old lady Xu didn't care about this, she smiled and said: "My body is strange. I don't usually have a cold for a whole year except for some waist and leg problems. The last time the imperial doctor took my pulse, he said, I This body is in good shape, how many young people are not as good as it!"

Zhao Jing couldn't help but laughed, thinking that the old lady must have forgotten about her pretending to have a headache two days ago.This is just right, only if there is no matter in your heart, you can live smoothly.

Mrs. Xu sat in the Purple Myrtle Garden for a while, and the imperial doctor came over. After examining the pulse, she also said that she had contracted a cold, and also had some kidney and spleen disorders, which could be treated together.

The old lady frowned when she heard about the kidney-spleen disorder. She wanted to ask if it would affect her children, but she was too embarrassed to ask.After all, outsiders only know that Zhao Jing is a lady in the Hou Mansion, so it is somewhat inconvenient to ask such a question.

The old lady was muttering about this in her heart, and her brows were always raised. When Zhang's mother sent the imperial doctor back, she saw Mrs. Xu looking at herself inquiringly, and she couldn't help laughing and said: " Don't worry, the old lady, the old slave just pretended to ask the imperial doctor casually, and the imperial doctor said that this illness has nothing to do with the child's problems, as long as it is recuperated properly, the other old slaves will not ask any more questions."

Mrs. Xu was a bit embarrassed after being told what was on her mind. She glanced at Zhang's mother and said, "You old man, I'll tell you what's going on, how are you doing?"

Then Mother Zhang smiled and said: "It's been done. I went to talk to Aunt Zhu two days ago. She is also happy to be the matchmaker. She said that she will pass today, but now that Mr. Zhao is ill, I am afraid that her brother and sister-in-law I can't do her idea, if I still wait for Mr. Zhao to nod in person, I have to go back to the Hou's mansion again. The same is true for Lord Hou. It's a good marriage, he's so anxious, let us do it like this The old woman doesn't know what to do!"

Mrs. Xu was smiling at this time, and kept saying: "He is like his old man. When his old man went to Sun's house for a blind date, he met me on the first day, and asked a matchmaker to propose marriage the next day. I At that time, I couldn't even remember what he looked like, so I went into the bridal chamber in a daze." The old lady laughed a little more narrowly when she said this, "His father has tasted the sweetness of the battlefield, compared to He is stronger."

Zhang's mother laughed and couldn't speak when she heard this. The old lady's temperament, whenever something happy happens, she can pour out the past of the eight generations of her ancestors like beans, and she is not too shy.

The servant girl brought in the medicine, and Zhao Jing drank it and fell asleep. If the wind and cold were not too severe, she would be able to feel better even if she was sweating all over under the quilt.

Mrs. Xu went back to Songhe Hall, and was about to go to the Small Buddha Hall to read scriptures after lunch. Mother Zhang came in and said: "The things for proposing marriage have been sent to Xingyue Tower. Aunt Zhu said that she will go there in the afternoon, and the old lady will be at home." Wait for the good news."

Mrs. Xu thought about it for a while and was still a little worried. She frowned and asked Mother Zhang, "I heard you said that Mr. Zhao's sister-in-law is a powerful person. You said that if Aunt Zhu, who was troubled by her, was killed by her because of what happened last time How about talking about it? I'm always a little uneasy."
