The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 275 Listening to the Story (1)
Sitting at the side, Yuan Shi was quite pleased with it, but thinking of Zhao Yong's temperament, she didn't dare to speak, so she just stepped forward to refill a cup of tea for the two of them.

Zhao Yong looked at the back of Yuan's hands that were no longer delicate due to work, and thought for a long time before he said: "Then... then if the girl said so, then...then I will try?"

Seeing that Zhao Yong agreed, Zhao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.It was almost time for lunch, Zhao Yong went to the kitchen to cook some special side dishes, Yuan Shi went to help him, Xu Si'an and Zhao Jing sat in the living room.

Zhao Daniu and Zhao Erhu came home from the outside, looked at the guests in the house timidly, and hid at the door, not daring to go in.Zhao Jing beckoned the two of them to come in, hugged Zhao Erhu and sat on her lap, and asked him in a low voice, "Why doesn't Erhu want to go to school? Didn't you like school very much before?"

Zhao Erhu lowered his head and didn't speak, tears were streaming down his face. He had been ill for a while recently and had missed a lot of homework, so he couldn't keep up after returning home.No one in the family could read a single word, and no one could teach him homework. The classmates in the private school knew that their family was poor, and not many people cared about him, so Zhao Erhu became a little tired of studying.

Zhao Jing saw that Zhao Erhu's face was full of tears, and wiped his face with a handkerchief. In fact, she had an idea, she wanted to take Zhao Erhu to go to school in Houfu.The two young masters of the Hou's Mansion are also entering school now, anyway, they are both individually hired gentlemen, so one more student or one less student is actually not a big deal.It's just that she just married into the Hou's mansion, it seems inappropriate to say this right away.

Zhao Jing raised her head and glanced at Xu Si'an with a tangled expression, but that person said solemnly: "What private school do you want to go to? You don't need to go to it. This time, the gentleman I invited is a famous Confucian in the capital, and Erhu came to the Hou's mansion to enter. Just learn."

These words hit Zhao Jing's meaning, she bent her eyes happily, and said a little embarrassedly: "The two young masters are getting older, and the two tigers are gone, will it affect their studies?"

"What's the impact, it's just an extra table." After Xu Si'an finished speaking, he took a step forward and hugged Zhao Erhu in his arms, coaxing him and said, "How about it? Follow my uncle to the Marquis Mansion. There are two older brothers who can play with you."

Although Xu Si'an was used to being serious, he didn't expect to coax the children to look good now. Zhao Yong was usually very strict with Zhao Erhu, so he felt that Xu Si'an was more kind, and nodded while sniffing.

After lunch at Zhao's house, the two of them sat for a while and then went back to Hou's mansion.Zhao Jing told Zhao Yong about letting Zhao Erhu go to the Marquis Mansion to study. Although Zhao Yong felt sorry, but thinking that Zhao Erhu could be taught by a famous teacher would be more useful than going to those private schools, he just felt embarrassed. This favor was agreed for the sake of his son.

The two went back to the Hou Mansion and went to invite Mrs. Xu, and Xu Si'an went to the outer study to read the military newspaper, and Zhao Jing accompanied the old lady to chat in Songhe Hall.Because she was going back home today, she let Zhang's mother explain it to her, and the family's trivial matters will be dealt with tomorrow.

Not long after Zhao Jing sat in Songhe Hall, Xu Xian and Qi Jiahui dismissed get out of class.Now the two of them only have classes in the afternoon, but they are obviously relaxed in the morning.The maids served them with some snacks to wash their hands.Zhao Jing then said to the old lady: "Old lady, now girls only learn one thing about sewing, I'm afraid it won't work, I thought about going to Xingyuelou to post a post, and asked Aunt Zhu to find a female gentleman to come over and teach some Rules are good."

Now that Zhao Jing is their elder, these things are naturally busy, but they can't be delayed because of this.After hearing this, Mrs. Xu nodded her head again and again, seeing the two children eating snacks inside, she smiled and said, "I will leave these matters to you, and you don't need to ask me in the future."

Zhao Jing knew that the old lady didn't like to be busy, so she nodded and said yes, she didn't go to Xingyue Tower for some days, and Aunt Zhu must have come to the big wedding two days ago, but she was sitting in the room and didn't see it. , she wanted to go there herself.
