The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 227 Zhen Yi Zhen Wife Gang (1)
After all, Qing Dai is a little girl who just entered the Hou Mansion, how can she understand the twists and turns in this deep house compound, but this girl is smart, seeing that Zhao Jing is interested, she told her in detail: "Didn't I send things to the second girl for my husband just now? When I came out, I remembered that the second girl didn't bring the things that the second girl asked me to bring, so I turned back. Who knew that I met her at the gate of the small corner of the back garden, so I followed her." She greeted her, but she seemed to be taken aback, so I asked her, sister, where are you from? As a result, sir, guess what she said?"

Zhao Jing thought that this girl dared to play tricks on her, and was about to say that she was naughty, so she continued to say: "In the end, she smiled at me and said that the old lady asked her to go and see the second girl. I just came out from the second girl's side, why didn't I see her just now? I was afraid that she would be upset, so I didn't say anything, and after she left, I went to the second girl's place to get the things back."

After Zhao Jing heard this, she frowned and said nothing. She had already guessed where Jixiang had gone, but ordinary people in the inner courtyard also knew that she and Sun Yu'e were close, so it would not be a big deal even if they escaped. Today, she told Qing Dai that she had gone elsewhere, which made people suspicious.

Auspiciousness had already had to guard against it. Apart from the gems this time, there must have been a lot of old lady's things leaked out of her hands.Zhao Jing stood up from the stool and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked the servant girl to fetch water to wash up, and went to sleep in the room.

After going to Songhe Hall early the next morning to pay her respects, Zhao Jing went to the meeting hall ahead.When she entered the door, she first glanced at the porch, and saw that the young man was hiding on top again, so she called him down and said with a smile, "Go and wait outside the door, sitting on the beam like this is really uncomfortable." ?” The young man went outside with a silly smile.

Zhao Jing asked the little girl to find Steward Zhou, she wanted to touch Jixiang now, but the old lady only had a mess here, so she could only inquire from the outside first, and had to ask Steward Zhou for help.

Yesterday, Steward Zhou received a letter from Master Hou. His face was still beaming with joy. Thinking that Master Hou would be able to marry Zhao Jing after returning to the mansion, Steward Zhou was really happy for Xu Si'an.Only people like Zhao Jing have the air of a housekeeper's wife, compared to the previous "Mrs. Hou" who only knew to hide in her own yard, I don't know how much better.

When Zhao Jing saw Steward Zhou, she went straight to the point and said, "Steward Zhou, before leaving, Master Hou entrusted me with the affairs of the inner courtyard. Now I have some unclear matters, so I want to ask Steward Zhou."

"Mr. Zhao, just ask if you have any questions. It would be best if the old slave can help you." Steward Zhou replied respectfully. Zhao Jing asked the little maid to serve him tea and asked him to sit on the armchair. down.

"There are a total of more than 120 people in the inner court of the Hou Mansion, but more than 50 of them are not slaves born in the Hou Mansion. Do you know about these? Are there any slaves in the outer court? The housekeeper manages the outer court?" Zhao Jing was actually very strange, from what she had eavesdropped on Jixiang and the wife of the outer court, she could conclude that Xu Si'an managed the outer court like an iron bucket, but he was so loose with the inner court. It made her a little confused.

"There are not many slaves in the outer courtyard of the Hou's Mansion, but there are quite a few guards. There were young men introduced by Sun's mother from the inner courtyard. .” Zhou Butler replied in a straightforward manner.

Zhao Jing was puzzled when she heard this. Xu Si'an clearly knew that Mama Sun was harboring evil intentions, but she didn't even touch the backyard she controlled. He replied: "Mr. Zhao, Master Hou is usually busy with military affairs, and there are some things that he can't take care of the overall situation. I am also in charge of the outer court, so it is naturally out of my turn to take care of the affairs of the inner court. Now that Mr. Zhao is here, Hou Grandpa can sit back and relax."

When Zhao Jingcai heard this, she still felt complacent. After she thought about it again, she realized that she had fallen into their trap. How could Xu Si'an not know the chaos in the inner courtyard, and why was he too busy with military affairs to take care of it?He casually snorted coldly in the inner courtyard, which was more powerful than what he was doing now. He just cherished his name as a filial son and insisted on making himself this bad guy!
