The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 197 Dowry (1)
Zhao Jing was talking to Mother Han at this time, and when she heard that Mrs. Xu was back, she was happy and wanted to get up to meet her.She was not in good health yet, and suddenly stood up again, only to feel weakness in the soles of her feet, and a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. The old lady Xu outside had already come in, so she hurriedly said, "Sit down quickly." , why don’t you lie on the bed when you are sick, and what to do when you get up!”

Zhao Jing leaned on the chair and sat down, and saw Zhang's mother pointing outside and said: "Mr. Zhao, look who is here!"

She raised her head and saw Yuan Shi following behind the two of them, poking her neck to look inside.Zhao Jing hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you here!"

Yuan Shi saw Zhao Jing sitting in the living room, with an old woman kneeling below her. Although she looked a little lazy, she was really indescribably noble, but her complexion was a little pale, it seemed that she was really sick. up.

"Sister, what's the matter with you? You have such a bad complexion. Mom Zhang said you were sick. I just thought she was trying to trick me." Yuan Shi smiled a little embarrassedly. Standing up, he waited for the old lady to sit down first, then pulled Yuan Shi to sit down too, then turned around and said to Mother Han, "Mother Han, you go down first, and I will discuss other things with you when I recover. things."

Mother Han felt anxious when she heard this, and she only hoped that Zhao Jing said that she would be sick for two more days, and that she would not be able to catch a ready-made excuse when she dispersed the moon silver first.

This Ziwei garden is usually quiet and quiet, it has never been so lively, the little maid saw the old lady twice a day, and she became more cautious in doing things.Zhao Jing was ill and couldn't serve her in person, but hot tea had to be delivered anyway.Fortunately, the two maids chosen by Zhang's mother are very clever, and they are very orderly in doing things, which is very pleasing.

Mrs. Xu drank a cup of hot tea, and looked at Zhao Jing with a smile on her face. Zhao Jing was usually generous and decent, and her words were neither humble nor arrogant, which was a bit strong. She couldn't be more fond of it.But today, although she is ill, what she said to Mother Han just now made Mrs. Xu completely convinced. Although she looks a little weak on the outside, she is still as tough and strong on the inside. Even a powerful old man like Mother Han can be trained to be submissive by her.

Mrs. Xu thought to herself, even if she lived another lifetime, she might not be as capable as Zhao Jing.Thinking that such a girl would call her mother and be her daughter-in-law from now on, the smile on her face became even more unbearable.

Everything else is good, if only the bones of this body are better!It would be even more perfect if he could win a man in one fell swoop!

Zhao Jing felt terrified at the sight of Mrs. Xu, thinking that maybe she was sick today and came out without making up her appearance, so the old lady didn't recognize herself?But I usually don't wear heavy makeup, and I don't know anyone after I take off my makeup, which is a bit too embarrassing.

In fact, the old lady is even more embarrassed than Zhao Jing at this moment. At such an old age, it is the first time that she has to mention marriage to the eldest girl herself.But the brother and sister-in-law of the Zhao family couldn't be Zhao Jing's master, and she had no other choice.The old lady Xu looked away from Zhao Jing, turned her head and winked at Zhang's mother, and said with a smile: "Zhang's mother, don't you have something to say to Mr. Zhao?"

This is also where Mama Zhang is most afraid of Mrs. Xu. She is a second-rank madam and a respectable old Feng Jun. She is so shy when asking her to do some trivial things. Mama Zhang can't wait to say to the old lady: "Old Ancestor, is this you marrying your daughter-in-law? Or am I marrying your daughter-in-law? I am the one who wants to marry my grandson!"

But even though she thought so, she didn't dare to tell the old lady like this, so she smiled and gave Yuan Shi a wink.Mrs. Yuan was doing homework with Zhao Jing. The aunt and sister-in-law hadn't seen each other for several days, and Mrs. Yuan was very distressed when Zhao Jing fell ill again. She was asking her what happened, but before she finished speaking, she raised her head and saw Mama Zhang. Give yourself a wink, and it will be clear in your heart.

Yuan Shi took Zhao Jing's hand and sat down, leaned into her ear and asked, "Sister, what did you and Marquis Wu An say?"

Yuan's question was cryptic, but Zhao Jing blushed when she heard it. It was her own fault, and she should have gone home the next day and told her brother and sister-in-law about it, but she was thin-skinned and didn't know how to speak. However, so many things happened again, and it was delayed.

Seeing Zhao Jing's red face, Yuan Shi also understood a little bit, opened her eyes and laughed softly: "So, what Zhang Mama said is true, and you have already agreed to it?"

Zhao Jing was already blushing and her neck was thick, besides, Mrs. Xu was still there, so she was embarrassed, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand, nodded reluctantly, and Yuan laughed loudly: "That feeling Alright, I'll go home and buy you a dowry!"

She was about to get up as she spoke, but before she could stand upright, she suddenly bent down and sat down slowly, leaning into Zhao Jing's ear, and said embarrassingly: "Our family's dowry is not enough for the Hou's mansion to fit between the teeth." Yes..."

This time, even Yuan himself blushed.
