The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 222 You still understand my thoughts (2)
After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Mama Zhang frowned and thought about it, as if she remembered such a thing. There were about fifty or sixty rubies in that box, some of them were as big as pearls, and the smallest ones had corns. Big, the old lady couldn't bear to blink her eyes when she saw it at that time, she kept clamoring to put it away, and took it out to Madam Hou when Lord Hou married his wife.But after the things were put away, Zhang's mother didn't bother much.

"That thing was put away by the old lady's orders at the beginning, and it is probably still in the old lady's private treasury now?" The old lady has a lot of good things in the private treasury. , what good things are not hers?Except for the fact that Xu Siping took a lot of inventory when he left the cabinet, the old lady's private treasury really hasn't been sorted out all these years.

Mrs. Xu raised her head and searched for a week. Seeing that Jixiang was not in the room, she frowned and said, "That girl has gone somewhere. Now that she is getting older, she is becoming more negligent. Could it be that she is thinking about getting married?"

When Zhao Jing heard her mention Jixiang, she remembered what she overheard under the flower wall that day. Of course, when she first came to power, she was rushing to Xinglongzhuang to report to Sun Mama.Zhao Jing had seen her appearance before, and she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, so she was indeed old enough to leave the court in ancient times.

"The old lady is sympathetic to the maids, and even thinks about their life-long events. I don't know how old this auspicious person is. Is he really old enough to leave the cabinet?"

Zhao Jing just asked casually as if she wasn't clear, and the old lady smiled and said, "She seems to be sixteen this year. She is the niece of Mama Sun's second daughter-in-law's natal family. She has been with me since she was ten years old."

Since Zhao Jing entered the Hou's mansion, the relationship between the seven aunts and the eight aunts has become more and more straightened out.As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven, but Mama Sun just became the head of the affairs in the Hou's mansion, and she can lead the entire family of relatives to make a fortune, which is really admirable.

"Sixteen is indeed not young, has her family arranged a marriage for him?" Zhao Jing asked casually when she was free.

The old lady said: "I don't know about this either. Her hometown is in Yanzhou. If she gets married, she will have to go back to her hometown."

Zhao Jing only nodded slightly, and seeing the twins came back from playing outside, she got up and said goodbye.

Zhang's mother ordered the little girl to find Jixiang and come back, so that she could open the private treasury to find what the old lady wanted, but Jixiang was drinking tea in Sun Yu'e's yard at this time. The sister-in-law, the second daughter-in-law of the comprador Tian in the old lady's room, and several other stewards from various places in the Hou Mansion.

"Mother Han, you probably know about Mrs. Song in the sewing room this morning, right?" Mrs. You sat beside Xiudun, with a look of awe on her face, she frowned and said: "I looked at the young man who brought her out of the conference hall. He looked only sixteen or seventeen. He was someone I had never seen in the house before. Where do you think he came from?"

"I don't know what happened in the outer courtyard, but you, you don't usually walk around with the outer kitchen. How many people does Hou Ye raise in the outer courtyard? If you walk around more, why don't you know?" Mother Han thought of what happened in the morning. Still feeling shocked, her granddaughter is still recuperating in Zhuangzi, and it has only been more than half a month since Zhao Jing couldn't help but lose her temper again. Yueyin didn't let it out either, and it was distributed to everyone early.

They originally thought that Zhao Jing was just a paper tiger, but they didn't expect that the tiger has also started to show its power now.Seeing everyone's frowning faces, Ji Xiang thought for a while and said, "Or else, why don't we invite Mama Sun back?"

"Mother Sun, why don't you please, Mama Sun didn't get any favors from the old lady last time, I'm afraid she's still angry now! Otherwise, let's be more careful and keep quiet for a few months. "Mother Han frowned. She actually didn't want to invite Mama Sun back. After all, Mama Sun left all the affairs of the house to herself before returning to Zhuangzi Rong. She didn't want to lose face in front of Mama Sun. .Besides, it's not that Xu Si'an has never married a wife before. Didn't Mrs. Hou make any big waves when she entered the house last time?
Mother Han thought about it, but she still couldn't let Mother Sun come back. Once Mother Sun came back, she would look even more incompetent.

"It's the sewing room for the first time, and I don't know where the next one will be. My heart is pounding!" Aunt You said nervously, and Li Hong's family, who was in charge of the bonsai arrangement in the flower garden, said, "Why not?" It will be your kitchen, no matter how capable she is, she will never let the old lady go hungry, so you just put a hundred thoughts on it."

The discussion in the hall was in full swing, but a little maid came in from outside, lifted the curtain and entered the door and said: "Sister Jixiang, the old lady is looking for you! Mama Zhang has sent someone to look for you, you should go back quickly!"

When everyone heard this, they all stood up like ants on a hot pot, and everyone showed a bit of nervousness on their faces.

When Jixiang saw it, he laughed, stood up and stretched the soft silk bijia with green onion yellow and blue border on his body, and said with a smile: "Look at you, the old lady came out of the small Buddhist hall, she wants me to serve her !"
