The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 290: Reading at Night (2)
Zhao Jing didn't order the kitchen to bring the wine, he was always bolder by taking advantage of the smell of wine, which made her very uncomfortable, the feeling of the taste of the marrow made Zhao Jing blush a little, bowed her head and said: "Mr. Don't drink anymore, I have something to discuss with you."

Xu Si'an sat down on the stool, glanced at Zhao Jing's soft eyebrows, and everyone was already drunk when he was not drunk.

"Then stop drinking. Tell me what you want." Xu Si'an started to eat, holding the rice bowl in his big palm. Zhao Jing had eaten at Songhe Hall, so she sat aside and watched him eat, and waited for Xu Si'an to finish eating the bowl He asked her again: "What did you want to say, why didn't you say it?"

Zhao Jing got up with a smile and added a bowl of matsutake soup to him, and handed it to him, "Brother Bao is making a fuss about going to live in an outer courtyard. I thought he was young and couldn't be left alone, so I asked his nanny to go with me." Now, I will add two servant girls and two servant girls. Originally, the two young masters also had two servant girls and an old mother, but now I want to add this servant girl. Serving tea, handing water, folding clothes There is also a support. I know Hou Ye didn't have these things at that time, and now I want to set this precedent, so naturally I have to discuss it with you."

Xu Si'an thought it was a big deal, and after hearing this, he said: "You can make up your own mind about these trivial matters in the house, I just take care of their homework."

Zhao Jing nodded and saw Xu Si'an drinking the soup slowly, her thin lips were stained with oil and water, she wanted to reach out to wipe it off, but in the end she was embarrassed, so she just handed him the handkerchief and said, "Brother Hong Both Bao'er and Bao'er are still young, I will do my best to choose a maid, but Feng Wei is not young, I don't know whether this maid should be older or younger."

Xu Si'an put down the bowl when he heard the words, raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "He and his mother live in a small courtyard in the back street of the Hou's Mansion. Mansion, otherwise, you send two little maids to their home, Yueyin comes out from our mansion, that child is very calm, with his mother watching, we don't need to worry about it."

Zhao Jing listened to what he said was very correct, besides, she has never seen Feng Wei's biological mother since she entered the door, so she should walk around.Zhao Jing nodded and said: "Then I will send someone to invite her in tomorrow, and I happen to see her too."

Xu Si'an had dinner and still had a bunch of military newspapers to read. He seldom lived in the capital for a long time before, and he didn't even have a maid in his study, so Zhao Jing sat by the side and rubbed his ink for him. It was really a kind of enjoyment to study at night with Hongxiu Tianxiang .When Xu Si'an finished reading the memorial and raised his head, Zhao Jing supported his forehead and dozed off from sleepiness beside him.Xu Si'an then extinguished the candle, wrapped her in a cloak, and carried her all the way back to the room.

Zhao Jing woke up when she was almost at Mingde Hall, and saw Xu Si'an hugging her, almost fell off him in shock, but was hugged tightly by Xu Si'an, she blushed and leaned against Xu Si'an's body. He said in his arms, "Master Hou, let me down quickly."

Only then did Xu Si'an let her down, put on a cloak for her, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's wash up early and go to bed."

Zhao Jing then ordered the maids to fetch water, and the two of them washed together, Xu Si'an finally couldn't help asking Zhao Jing for a while, seeing her half-dizzy and half-awake from exhaustion, he hugged her and fell asleep in her arms.

After having breakfast the next day, Zhao Jing told Mrs. Xu about it, and the old lady nodded and agreed, so Zhao Jing sent someone from Zhang Yongshun's family to take her post to invite Fang in.

Feng Wei's adoptive son was recognized by Xu Si'an, and the old lady didn't express any opinions at that time, and she didn't worship the ancestral hall. The old lady also knew what Xu Si'an meant, but she just wanted to use her identity to support their mother and son in a legitimate way.Based on Zhao Jing's understanding of Xu Si'an now, she also understood what he meant, but since she assumed this identity, she must bear a responsibility.

Fang's house is not far away, it is very close from the back door, Zhang Yongshun's family led her here not long after.This is the first time Zhao Jing saw Fang's, she looks in her early thirties, but she is well maintained, she looks like 27 or [-], wearing a flying cloud bun, wearing a silver hairpin with beads, and wearing a moon-white beige with twigs and branches , the dress is very plain, which is also in line with her status as a widow.

When Fang entered the door, he greeted Mrs. Xu and met Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing invited her to sit down and said with a smile: "I wanted to invite my wife to come to the house earlier in the morning, but I didn't have time. Today is finally free." When I am free, I have something to discuss with my wife."

Seeing Zhao Jing's beautiful face, pleasant voice, and modest attitude, Fang also responded with a smile: "Madam wants to meet, just let the servants call me, there is no need to send any post, I just want to see you." Just staying at home every day is boring anyway."

Everyone chatted for a while, Zhao Jing told Fang Shi what she said yesterday, Fang Shi just refused, and the old lady refused, so she finally agreed.

After seeing off Mrs. Fang, the maids were preparing to deliver lunch when Zhang Yongshun came in outside and said, "Go back to the old lady, madam, Princess Xiaoyi's mansion sent someone to deliver a message, saying that it will be their home on the eighth day of the next month." It's the girl's 15th birthday, and I want to ask my wife to be the preceptor."

Zhao Jing was a little taken aback when she heard this, she only met that Princess Xiaoyi once, and it seemed that this ring guest was a little surprised.
