The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 266 I still remember (2)
Zhao Jing's face turned red up to the ears, and she tried all her strength to push Xu Si'an away, but was held tightly by him, unable to move.He lowered his head and rubbed Zhao Jing's lips like a trick, but it's a pity that she was wearing a lot of makeup today, and there was a trace of pink.Xu Si'an held back his thoughts of teasing her, let go of her and said, "I'm going, there is food in the kitchen, and I'll ask them to bring it over later."

Zhao Jing sent Xu Si'an away and returned to the room. The little maids Qing Dai and Lan Yu who were waiting outside the door saw Xu Si'an walking away, so they came in from the outside and fetched water for Zhao Jing to wash her face.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Zhao Jing looked up and saw the powder marks on the corners of her mouth that Xu Si'an rubbed. She couldn't help laughing. The little maids helped Zhao Jing remove the heavy phoenix crown and handed her the hot towel. Jing washed her face several times in the basin, and finally washed off all the face powder, and evenly applied the clear dew on her face, making her look refreshed.

Not long after, the mother-in-law in the kitchen delivered lunch, and politely called Zhao Jing Ma'am.The maids brought all the dishes in the food box to the table, and they were all the dishes that Zhao Jing usually liked in the Hou Mansion.Today, there are running water mats outside, the kitchen of the Hou Mansion must be busy, and it is not easy to find time to prepare these few dishes.Zhao Jing thanked them and asked Qing Dai to reward them with a purse.

Although she was not from a wealthy family, she understood these rules. Before leaving the court, she specially asked Yuan Shi to go to the gold shop to buy a lot of gold and silver coins, which were specially used as rewards.The mother-in-law who had rewarded the kitchen, and then rewarded Qingdai and Lanyu, the two little maids were not to mention how happy they were, but they still looked a little concerned, so Zhao Jing couldn't help but asked: "You guys?" What's wrong with the two?"

Qing Dai is usually closer to Zhao Jing, so she knelt in front of Zhao Jing and said in a low voice: "Mother Zhang said that the maidservant and Lan Yu are young, and that she wants to send two older sisters to serve Madam and Master Hou. "

After hearing this, Zhao Jing realized that Zhang's mother was right. It didn't matter to her to have two maids by her side before, but now there is an extra Xu Si'an, and two maids who don't know each other can serve her. , What an inconvenience after all.What's more, when Zhang's mother first chose the two of them, she also had the idea of ​​wanting Zhao Jing to train the two maids for Xu Xian. After all, the two of them would not serve her for long.

"You two have been with me for a while, and I don't want to part with you, but there are some things that you will understand when you are older. The second girl is short of maids. In two days, you go to serve the second girl, which is better than following me. Be stronger around you."

The two little maids looked at each other in dismay after hearing this. Although they were not familiar with the world, they chatted with each other in private, and occasionally heard a sentence or two of those words.Little maids like them who haven't even come to Guishui, staying in Lord Hou's room really seem to be of no use.

Seeing their bewildered looks, Zhao Jing just shook her head and smiled, pulling the two of them to stand up.

After lunch, Zhao Jing walked back and forth in the room, but outside was still full of gongs, drums and firecrackers, Xu Si'an might not be able to come back until evening.She was idle and bored in the new house, and sat down on the soft couch by the window. She was a bit sleepy at this time after the busy morning.

There was a lot of people outside, but it was quiet inside. By the time Zhao Jing opened her eyes in a daze, it was already dark. Looking out of the window, the long Chaoshou verandah seemed to be ignited with a fiery dragon.

Zhao Jing stood up with her eyes wide open, and asked Qing Dai, "What time is it?"

"Return to madam, it's already three quarters of the unitary hour."

Zhao Jing was shocked when she heard this, she quickly got up from the soft couch, and found that her body was still covered with a thin layer of blankets, only to hear Qing Dai continue: "Master Hou just came back to visit Madam, saw Madam fell asleep, and left again .”

Zhao Jing's face turned even redder now, Xu Si'an finally came back when she was free, but she fell asleep, she was really going to be laughed to death by him.Zhao Jing stood up from the soft couch, thinking that it was still early, she asked the servant girl to go to the kitchen to bring water. She was already drenched in sweat wearing such heavy clothes this day.

The hot water in the kitchen was ready, and it was delivered not long after. The clean room was the inside of the bedroom. Zhao Jing ordered the maid to bring clothes in. She took off her clothes and soaked in the hot water.She closed her eyes and relaxed her mind a little bit, thinking that she was finally out of court and married, she spent the first half of her life trembling in the palace, and she wanted to live a few days of comfortable life in the second half of her life.

Zhao Jing felt relieved when she thought of this. Xu Si'an was so sincere to her, and Mrs. Xu was a good friend. Now that she has the status of the regent's righteous sister, she should not Someone will criticize something behind their backs.The proud things in life seem to be taken up by myself.

The sound of water gurgling in the clean room, but there was also a series of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and the maids could only hear the crisp voice at the door: "Master Hou, Madam is taking a bath in the clean room!"

Zhao Jing's whole heart seemed to skip a beat, she wondered how did Xu Si'an come here so fast?
