The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 277 Master Hou really loves you very much (1)
Xu Si'an frowned when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Jing talking with Qi Jiahui in his arms. sweat.

He put down the teacup in his hand, turned to Old Madam Xu and said, "The one hundred thousand troops from the south have not yet returned to the capital. The prince wants to take this opportunity to completely wipe out those rebellious parties and thieves in the south." He said so far Suddenly paused, eyes flashed across Zhao Jing's face, and continued: "I have to stay in Beijing."

Mrs. Xu couldn't help being disappointed when she heard this, her brows furrowed, and she was about to say a few more words, when Madam Zhang also smiled and said: "Old lady, the weather is getting hotter, and it's the hottest time on the way back. I'm afraid the children will suffer and the old lady will suffer too, so it's better to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, October happens to be the anniversary of the death of Lord Hou, and the weather will be cooler by then, so it won't be too late to go back."

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she glanced at Zhao Jing. She actually understood what Mrs. Xu was thinking.It's just that Mama Sun has just returned to her hometown now, so if Mrs. Xu goes there and listens to her gossip again, it will make everyone worry.It's better to wait for a while, don't leave for these two months, maybe Zhao Jing will be there in a few months, and then let the old lady go back to her hometown, I'm afraid she won't.

After another year or so, Zhao Jing gave birth to a baby, and if the old lady wanted to go back to her hometown, she would let her go.At that time, after being separated from Mama Sun for such a long time, no matter how good the relationship is, I'm afraid it will be a little distant.

"Mother Zhang makes a lot of sense." Xu Si'an nodded without waiting for the old lady to reply, then got up again and said, "If mother has nothing else to do, then my son will leave first."

Seeing that Xu Si'an was about to leave, Zhao Jing put down Qi Jiahui and got up to see him off.Xu Si'an looked filial, but in fact he was stubborn. Although Zhao Jing was hugging Qi Jiahui just now, when she accidentally raised her head and saw Xu Si'an's expression, she knew that he didn't want to take this trip. Fortunately, Zhang's mother was there to comfort her .

The old lady Xu watched Xu Si'an leave, but her brows were still furrowed.The old Hou Ye passed away that year, and Xu Si'an helped Linghui to bury him in his hometown. After all, he really hasn't been back for eight or nine years.The old lady has always wanted to go back these years, but Xu Si'an has been fighting in the army all year round, and she doesn't have much time to stay in the capital. She wants to go back to the hometown alone, and Xu Si'an is not allowed, so she has been delayed.

"I just want to go back to my hometown to have a look. Back then, your father-in-law had a few brothers, and they are all old now. I didn't write a letter about your wedding this time, and I wanted to go back to my hometown and set up a few more tables for you. Yes." The relatives in my hometown don't get in touch very often. Xu Si'an didn't invite them for his big wedding last time, and those people wouldn't come all the way, but the old lady is a very nostalgic person, and she couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this .

Zhao Jing smiled and said: "What mother said is true, but Lord Hou probably really doesn't have time right now, besides what Zhang's mother said is right, the weather is hot, and the long-distance trek is really tiring, mother just waits for the weather to cool down before going." the same."

Mrs. Xu heard Zhao Jing say this, but couldn't help but glance at her. When the weather gets colder, her stomach should be bulging, and I'm afraid it will be delayed again.But even if it was delayed at that time, the old lady was naturally happy in her heart.

Zhao Jing stayed in Songhe Hall and chatted with Mrs. Xu for a few more words, then got up to leave.She has only taken over the general affairs of the Hou's Mansion these few days, but she is a bit busy, and she can't figure out the things outside for a while, so she must first figure out the personnel affairs of the Hou's Mansion.Zhang's mother usually served by Mrs. Xu's side, and Zhao Jing couldn't invite her over at any time. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law Wu was also working in the Hou's mansion, and she was also smart and capable. People in the mansion called her Zhang Yongshun's family.

In the past two days, Zhao Jing mentioned that she kept it by her side, and she remembered all the big and small things in the house.Yesterday Zhao Jing invited a clerk from outside to write a post about going to Xingyue Tower to invite a lady. Today, Zhao Jing went to the meeting hall, and Zhang Yongshun's family sent the post over.Zhao Jing read the post, it was written in the name of Madam Wu Anhou.

Zhao Jing opened the post and signed her name, and ordered to prepare a car, and she would go to Xingyue Tower in person in the afternoon.

Xu Si'an didn't have lunch at the mansion today, Zhao Jing accompanied Mrs. Xu for lunch, the servant outside came in and answered, saying that Xu Si'an had gone out, but he didn't say where he went.Mrs. Xu felt that Xu Si'an was angry with her, and she was not happy. Zhao Jing persuaded her for a while, remembering that there were opera troupes singing in Xingyue Tower every afternoon, so she invited Mrs. Xu to go to Xingyue Tower to watch the opera together.
