The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 223 Zhang Luo Marriage (1)
Zhao Jing beat up Han Chunhua and cured Aunt Song. Everyone in the Hou's mansion was in danger. Although Jixiang uttered big words in front of people, he couldn't help but feel a little bit drummed when he came out. He only smiled and asked the little maid who came to pass the message. Said: "What did the old lady ask me to go back for?"

The little maid was just an errand, and she usually only served outside the gate of Songhe Hall. When Jixiang asked herself about these things, she just said casually: "I don't know, the old lady just suddenly thought of calling my sister to go over. I was just here." Serving outside, I didn't listen to the truth, but I heard the old lady say whether my sister is old or not, and whether she wants to leave the cabinet or something?"

When Ji Xiang heard this, his heart skipped a few beats and his eyes straightened up.Although their family is all in Yanzhou, but now they all rely on her to earn money in the Hou's mansion.In addition to her parents, she also has a brother who is not up to expectations. His leg was broken because of gambling the year before last, and he has not yet married a wife.Every time her old mother sends someone to bring her a message, she always asks her if she has got some more money. In fact, it is not easy for her to work in the Hou's mansion. Apart from serving the old lady, she also needs to be filial and call her mother. Mother Sun, she has to be careful with all kinds of company in front of Sun Yu'e. She is the little sister who played mud together when she was a child. She has suddenly become the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but she can only be a maid.

She was so nervous that she couldn't even speak clearly, she said in a daze, "Could it be that the old lady wants to arrange a marriage for me?"

"I don't know about that." The little maid walked ahead without looking at Jixiang's face, and just smiled and said: "But the old lady has always loved my sister, if she really arranges a marriage for her, maybe she can prepare a dowry for you What! We do not have such a blessing."

But when Jixiang heard this, she felt a little cold. She took care of the clothes and jewelry in the old lady's room. If she wanted to leave, she would have to hand over these things.But last year when something happened to her family, she often took the old lady's things and went out to pay back the money. She thought that she was still working in front of the old lady anyway, so she had to redeem it slowly, and some of them honored Mother Sun, Sun Yu'e's things, she will leave in the future, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so she said they asked her to ask for it, so what?The old lady has such a friendship with Sun's mother, and likes Sun Yu'e so much, she will definitely not pursue it.

But if she is going to get married at this time, how will she redeem those things in the pawn shop?She was so frightened that she didn't dare to think about it at all, and walked to Songhe Hall in a daze along the way.

The old lady was talking to Zhang's mother in the room at this time. After Master Hou won the battle, the old lady's heart became wider. She put her arm around a grandson and let them nap on her lap.The two twins had just eaten a little snack, and they were really drowsy at this time.

"When Lord Hou comes back, let's get married next month. If Mr. Zhao becomes pregnant early, I can kiss my grandson by this time next year." The old lady smiled so much when she thought of this. When the flowers bloomed, her body trembled, waking up the drowsy Qi Jiahui. She opened her sleepy eyes, leaned in her arms and asked Mrs. Xu, "Old Ancestor, in the future you will have a cousin." Brother and cousin, do you dislike me and my brother?"

"Nonsense! How is it possible?" Mrs. Xu happily poked Qi Jiahui's small forehead with her finger, and said with a smile: "You two will always be the treasures in my grandmother's heart! As long as my grandmother lives, she will spoil you for a day , even if grandma returns to the West in the future, you still have uncles and aunts pampering you! How can you feel wronged?"

After hearing this, Qi Jiahui kept burying herself in Old Madam Xu's arms, rubbed her chest and said, "The old ancestor lived a hundred years, so he won't return to the west! Sister Hui has to be filial to the old ancestor when she grows up." Woolen cloth!"

The old lady was very happy when she heard this, she poked her forehead with a smile and said: "When you grow up, you will leave the cabinet, why would you think of being filial to me, but this sounds pleasant to the ear!"

Zhang's mother was also sitting on the side laughing, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Jixiang walking in from the outside.The old lady patted Qi Jiahui and continued to sleep, and seeing Jixiang came back, she said, "Give Mama Zhang the key to my private treasury, and I will let her find some things in it, which the Marquis brought back from Yunnan two years earlier. All of a sudden, the ruby ​​is still in the library, right?"

After hearing this, Jixiang didn't react for a while, and after a moment of stunned, he said: "The things are still there, but I don't know where to put them. I will find them later and send them to Mama Zhang."

She was a little afraid that Zhang's mother would enter the private treasury at the moment, because even she herself didn't know how many things the old lady took away, and she needed to calculate them all together, so she didn't dare to hand over the key to Zhang. Mother.

As soon as Zhang's mother heard her prevarication, she knew that there was something tricky about it, but if she was in a hurry, she would jump over the wall. After all, Jixiang was the old lady's servant, and she had to guard against her doing anything drastic.
