The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 214
Zhao Da Niu walked up to Mrs. Xu, knelt down politely, and said to Mrs. Xu: "Greetings to the ancestors."

The old lady Xu asked her maid to help her up, and asked her, "What's your family's name?"

Zhao Da Niu blinked and whispered, "My name is Da Niu."

The old lady's eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, she smiled and took her little hand and said: "Then we are destined, my nickname was Da Niu when I was young, and then when I was about to marry at the age of 15, I didn't get married. You took a big name, and when you get older, let your father change your name to a famous name."

Zhao Daniu thought for a while, and said: "My father is illiterate, so he can only call him casually, or the ancestors will change it for me?"

Zhao Jing actually underestimated Miss Zhao, this kind of person was just about to smile, but she heard the old lady say: "I am as illiterate as your father, or else when our Lord Hou comes back, let Hou Master will change one for you?" The old lady paused as she spoke, frowned and thought for a moment, then continued: "When the time comes, Master Hou will be your uncle, you have to call him uncle."

After hearing this, Zhao Jing couldn't help but blushed again.Fortunately, Mrs. Xu didn't pay attention to her at all, and Zhao Da Niu also nodded kindly and said, "When will uncle come back?"

"I don't know when I'll be back. Probably when the weather gets hot, let's take off the outer jacket and your uncle will be back."

Zhao Jing was really helpless looking at the young and old who had joined the show, but it was a pity that she didn't have the chance to intervene.On the contrary, Qi Jiahui came out after eating Xiao Yuanxiao in the inner room. When she saw Zhao Da Niu, she went up to meet her and said, "You are Da Niu's sister, aren't you? Do you know how to play rope? Let's play together in the future?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhao Da Niu nodded and talked to Qi Jiahui, and took out a red rope from her sleeve like a magic trick, Qi Jiahui waved her hands happily, and pulled her into the room.

Mrs. Xu watched the two children go in with a smile on her face, turned her head and told the servant girl: "Go and call the people from the sewing room to make four sets of spring clothes and four sets of summer clothes for Mr. Zhao's niece. You need to use them well." material."

The maid got the order and went out, Zhao Jing smiled and said: "The old lady is too polite, she brought some clothes here, and she also wore a lot."

"That's no good. I like to see girls dressed up beautifully. My wife is happy in her heart." Mrs. Xu sat down while talking. A servant who sells his body, is it true that our Marquis Mansion can no longer be used?"

Zhao Jing didn't figure it out for a while, and when she looked up, she saw Zhang's mother nodding towards her, and Zhao Jing said indifferently: "According to the rules, I'm afraid that the families of all the dignified people in the capital may not be like ours. It's just that the old lady is kind-hearted. If I still want to give them a bite to eat, I can also draw up an employment contract. As long as they are willing to sign this employment contract, they can stay in the Hou Mansion. Not impossible."

After hearing this, the old lady still frowned tightly. After thinking for a while, she sighed and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, as you said. There are no rules, and you can't just let it go." Keep going like this."

Zhao Jing did not expect Mrs. Xu to let go of this matter so quickly. It seems that the beating of Han Chunhua was not in vain. When the matter got to the old lady's front, it could be regarded as her first fire in the Hou's mansion.

Zhao Jing blessed the old lady, and suddenly remembered the letter Xu Si'an had written to the old lady just now. In addition to saying that she was safe, she also wrote a serious sentence: All the affairs of the house are left to Mr. Zhao, and the mother does not want to Ask more questions, the son believes her, and the mother should also believe her.

Just now she deliberately didn't read this sentence because it was too explicit, but in the end the letter was given to Mrs. Xu. Although Mrs. Xu couldn't read a few words, I'm afraid she could still recognize this simple sentence.

Zhao Jing thought about it, and finally understood the reason for this. Although Xu Si'an was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he still wanted to support her all the time.

"Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely get this matter done."

Zhao Jing blushed and bowed to Mrs. Xu, but unexpectedly, she saw the new hibiscus jade jasmine hairpin on her hair. The old lady Xu only asked curiously: "What a beautiful jade hairpin, it really matches you very well." , why haven't you seen you wear it before?"

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xu Si'an only gave her to her, but she didn't even have a share with her own mother, so she didn't dare to confess and let her go, she just smiled and said: "I bought it outside during the Chinese New Year, and I have never been willing to part with it." bring."

After hearing this, the old lady only smiled and said: "Good-looking things should be taken out and worn, otherwise what's the point of hiding them? I still have several good things here, and I can't wear them when I'm old now. Change it tomorrow." I'll sort it out and distribute it to you girls to wear!"

When Mama Zhang heard this, she secretly laughed. The old lady's jewelry was managed by Jixiang, the big maid in her room, and that maid was brought in by Mama Sun from the outside. Things, it just happens to be liquidated together at this moment!
