The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 211 How can anyone be willing to sell themselves into slavery? (1)
In April, the weather gets hotter.Zhao Jing went to see Steward Zhou in the outer courtyard at noon, arranged the household chores, and taught Xu Xian how to do menstruation belt in Minghua courtyard in the afternoon.

After Han Chunhua was beaten up, she was sent back to Zhuangzi by Mama Han. They all came from their hometown in Yanzhou with Mama Sun, and now they all settled in Xinglongzhuang.The little girl is young, so it's nothing to eat a meal. Zhao Jing heard that Mother Han found a doctor for her, but it was a bit embarrassing to get hurt in that place, so she had to make a lot of trouble if she didn't show it to others.

Since Xu Xian came to Guishui, she really seemed to have grown up a lot, and the gentleness of an adult girl now appeared on her childish face.Zhao Jing taught her how to do this needlework and said: "Mother Zhang has been out in the past two days to inquire. If there are good maids, she will buy a few. When the time comes, you will pick two and put them by your side. In the future, you must know how to coerce the maids, understand ?"

Xu Xian lowered her head timidly, thought for a while and then asked Zhao Jing: "Mr. Zhao, is it really okay that you hit Chunhua because of me? She is the granddaughter of Mother Han."

Zhao Jing stopped working, raised her head and said to Xu Xian: "You have to remember, she is the granddaughter of Mother Han, but you are the granddaughter of the old lady. If she bullies you, it is tantamount to bullying the old lady. If you keep If you are so weak and can be bullied, there will only be more people bullying you in the future."

The little girl's eyes turned red again after hearing this, and Zhao Jing also felt that she had become a little irritable, even if she did psychological counseling, it would not be effective so quickly.She was about to comfort Xu Xian, when she heard the little maid outside came in and replied: "Sir, the old lady asked the gentleman to go to Songhe Hall."

Zhao Jing put down her needle and thread and went outside, remembering that Zhang's mother was going out today, she asked her to go to Gulou Street to pick up Miss Zhao. It is also a courtesy for Hetang to meet the old lady.She called the little maid to wait in the concierge, and if Zhao Da Niu came, she asked the maid to take her directly to Songhe Hall.

The apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, and crabapple blossoms in the yard all bloomed one after another. Zhao Jing folded two apricot blossoms and gave them to the maids outside when she entered the Songhe Hall. .

Mama Zhang is not here, and Mama Han is standing in front of the old lady today. When Zhao Jing entered, she saw her quietly pressing the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She thought it was because of what happened last night. The old lady came forward to complain.

Zhao Jing bowed to the old lady, but the old lady didn't mention this matter, she still greeted her with a smile as usual: "Sister Xian didn't come over for breakfast this morning, I heard the little girl in front of her say she was sick , did you find a doctor to take a look?"

The old lady still had a big taboo against Xu Xian's life experience, and she frowned when talking about her, Zhao Jing smiled and took the tea from the maid's hand, put it aside and said: "Old lady, sister Xian is not sick , it’s Guishui, but the servant girls who serve her are still young and don’t understand these things, so they think they are sick, but there is one thing that I want to talk to the old lady about.”

When Mother Han heard Zhao Jing speak like this, she had already held her breath, wondering if Zhao Jing would have to bring a villain to sue first?Poor her granddaughter was beaten like that, let's see what she has to say!
When she had breakfast early in the morning, Mrs. Xu had already heard Sun Yu'e talk about this matter, but the version must be very different from what Zhao Jing was going to say now.Since Zhao Jing took charge of the family last month, this was the first time she lost her job, and she was also the granddaughter of the lost mother Han, so the whole Hou Mansion was panicked.Sun Yu'e kept talking about how powerful Zhao Jing was and how she beat Han Chunhua miserably. Besides, she was a young girl who let someone spank her ass. It was so fierce and vicious. Don't let the old lady be deceived by her meek appearance Now, I'm afraid the fox's tail is about to be exposed.

Zhao Jing moved her big toe, and she could imagine what Sun Yu'e would say. She used to open her eyes and close her eyes, but now she doesn't want to be blind again.

"Just say what you have to say." Mrs. Xu also glanced at Zhao Jing, seeing that she was neither humble nor overbearing, she was not like what Sun Yu'e and Han's mother said.

Zhao Jing thought for a while, then stood up, lifted her dress and knelt in front of Mrs. Xu, and said slowly: "Old lady, as the saying goes, there is no rule, there is no such thing as a square. Entrusting the housework to me is also thinking that I can manage the family well, but now it seems that I am powerless."
