The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

192 Chapter 2 Anxious to Hug Grandson ([-])
Although the old lady didn't pursue the matter of Mama Sun last time, she finally figured it out in her heart.Zhao Jing is a celebrity by the emperor's side, if she really wanted to find a wealthy town to be a noble concubine, she wouldn't come to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion as a lady.Mama Sun has always been good at talking, and she herself has this problem of soft ears, and it is not uncommon for her to be taken into a ditch for a while.Now that she thinks about it, she regrets a little bit, and sighed, "I just heard what Sun Mama said, but I didn't really think about it. Who knew she actually sent someone to propose a marriage. This is not hitting me. face?"

It was the first time for Mama Zhang to hear the old lady's words of self-criticism. She always cared about saving face, even if she really did something wrong, she would definitely not admit it in front of others. This was really the first time ever.

"Old lady, if you are worried, why don't I accompany you for a walk? Mr. Zhao's sister-in-law is not very strong, you will know when you go, and save you all the fuss at home?" Zhang's mother knew that the old lady Born in poverty, she doesn't look down on the poor, so she simply suggested that she also wants the old lady to go out too much, and it's meaningless to stay at home all day.

Mrs. Xu felt a little embarrassed at first, but after thinking about it, she felt a little bit moved, she leaned over and said to Zhang's mother: "Otherwise, let's treat it as a relative who has left and recognize the in-law's family?"

Mother Zhang is the happiest that the old lady can do this, and thanks to the fact that Sun Yu'e didn't come to Songhe Hall frequently these two days to surround the old lady, otherwise she wouldn't have the opportunity to say these things in front of the old lady .

The carriage first went to Xingyue Building, and when the shopkeeper in the building said that Aunt Zhu had gone out, Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Old lady, we are a step late, Aunt Zhu has already gone to Zhao's house."

Mrs. Xu was in a good mood along the way. Thinking that her only son finally had a wife, she was even more nervous than her getting married. She kept asking Zhang's mother along the way: "You said that I am dressed like this today?" How? I can’t find those fancy clothes, does this color look old?”

Zhang's mother lost her temper when she was asked, she kept smiling and said: "Old lady, you are going to propose a marriage for Lord Hou. I don't know, I thought you were going on a blind date yourself!"

Mrs. Xu curled her lips when she heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, I am in a hurry to marry Lord Hou a wife, I am in a hurry that Mr. Hug your own grandson as soon as possible!"

Drum Tower Street is not far from Xingyue Tower, and the time has come when the rickety carriage is no more than two or three cups of tea.Mama Zhang rolled up the curtain and took a look, and saw a carriage parked beside Zhao's house in the alley, and Aunt Zhu had already arrived first.

The alley was narrow, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Mother Zhang helped the old lady get out of the car, followed by two young maidservants.

The neighbors here have never seen such a battle before, and they couldn't help but take another look, and some people praised in private: "Look, the old lady of the rich family is different, she stands out like an old lord." style."

Although Mrs. Xu is fifty, she is rare to have sharp eyes and ears, but she was secretly happy when she heard this, thinking that not everyone in this world might look down on her.

Mrs. Zhang helped Mrs. Xu to the door of Zhao’s house. Not long after the New Year passed, the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door were still red and red. Mrs. Zhang was about to knock on the door when she heard Mrs. Don't make jokes, is there something wrong with the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an? She wants my sister to be a concubine for a while, and then says to be Mrs. Hou? Isn't this changing too fast? Besides, my sister is now a concubine. It's in the Hou's mansion! If she really has such thoughts, she can just say no, and why did she ask you to come here?"

The people who usually deal with Aunt Zhu are the wives and grandmas of the Hou Men's mansion, no matter how bad they are, they are the stewards of the mansion. She can't deal with a market woman like Yuan Shi, and she has a lot of good things to say. , being blocked by her at this moment, I couldn't say a word, so I had to patiently say: "Good sister-in-law, listen to me, I made a mistake last time, the old lady never thought of making girl Jing a concubine, In fact, the servants of the Hou Mansion made their own decisions and sent someone to propose marriage, and the old lady herself didn't know about it, so why don't I bring a generous gift to come here again to propose marriage."

Yuan heard that people from the Marquis of Wu'an came to propose marriage again. Originally, she didn't want Aunt Zhu to come in. It was because Aunt Zhu reported the name of Xingyue Tower that she let people in. She looked at the two people behind Aunt Zhu. Holding the congratulatory woman, although Yuan felt that they seemed to be more sincere than the matchmaker who came back last time, she still did not completely let go of her guard.

"How do I know if it's true this time? If I agreed to you, and you let the girl be your concubine again in the blink of an eye, and said I agreed, wouldn't I have sold the girl? This matter I can't agree to what you say, you should go back, or call the girl back, I have discussed it with her personally, you come again?"

As soon as Mrs. Yuan finished speaking, Mrs. Xu took a step forward, pushed open the gate outside the Zhao family's courtyard, stood at the door and said, "No need for Mr. Zhao to come back, my old lady came here to propose marriage in person, this sister-in-law, just say something , shouldn't it?"

Yuan Shi had never met Mrs. Xu before, so she didn't react at all for a while. She just glanced at Aunt Zhu in a daze, then turned to ask Mrs. Xu, "You are old, which matchmaker is it?"
