The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 291: The Devil (1)
Mrs. Xu is a good-natured person. When she heard that Zhao Jing was invited to be the preceptor, she only smiled and asked Zhang Yongshun's family: "Where is the servant of Princess Xiaoyi's family now? Invite him in for a drink." Tea."

Zhang Yongshun's family replied: "I have already invited you to have some snacks in the tea room in the outer courtyard, and the rewards are also prepared."

Zhao Jing was puzzled, thinking that no lunch was served at this time, so she also said: "Then invite her to come in and sit down."

Zhang Yongshun's family got the word, so they went out with a smile, but after a while, they really brought in a woman from Princess Xiaoyi's family who passed on the news, and the woman saluted when she saw Mrs. The style of her body is no worse than that of Zhang Mama, and she should be the person who is often used by Princess Xiaoyi.

"Greetings to old Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou!" The man had a round face with a smile on his face. Zhao Jing looked at it kindly, so she asked her maid to bring the bamboo for her, and asked her to sit down, "Don't worry too much." Li, I don’t know what mother’s name is?”

The old mother smiled and said: "I am the person next to the eldest princess, Madam just call me Mother Jin."

Zhao Jing nodded as a response, and asked the maid to bring a cup of cool mung bean soup for her to drink.It's hot outside, and I'm already sweating after such a run.Mother Jin took two sips of mung bean soup, put it down before she could see the bottom, and sat aside in a well-behaved manner, waiting for Zhao Jing to speak.

Zhao Jing then asked: "Why did the eldest princess invite me to be the guest of honor? This is originally for older and decent elders. I'm afraid I can't afford it."

Mother Jin only laughed when she heard this, and covered her mouth and said: "Our patriarch, the princess, guessed that Mrs. Hou would say this, but now, apart from Mrs. Hou, there is no one who is more important than you, Mrs. gone."

Zhao Jing didn't understand what she meant for a while, but she continued to smile and said: "Madam, you are not only the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an, but also the eldest princess of Dayong. Aren't you and our patriarch, the princess, sisters? What's wrong with my aunt being my niece's ring guest?"

Zhao Jing didn't think about this at first, but now that she thinks about it, it's also true. Although Zhou Yi's recognition of her as a righteous sister is not well-known, but when she got married that day, she herself was the one behind Zhou Yi's back. The door of the Zhao family who went out.Besides, Princess Xiaoyi has already returned to the capital, and the various Chinese relationship networks must start to be paved again.

Apart from her, it seems that only the empress dowager is left if she wants to have higher status and closer relatives.But back then, the son-in-law was demoted to Haijiang because he was involved in the regent's treason case. From this point of view, it seemed impossible for Princess Xiaoyi to invite the queen mother as her daughter.

Zhao Jing hadn't answered yet, but the old lady Xu who was sitting by the side said, "That's the truth, it makes sense once you say it, I thought our house and the eldest princess's house didn't have any relationship, now So, aren't they still relatives?"

Mother Jin smiled and nodded in agreement, her eyes and eyebrows were respectful and kind.Zhao Jing didn't have anything to say no to at this time, so she said, "In that case, then I agree, and that day will pass by early in the morning."

Mother Jin felt relieved after hearing this, chatted with the old lady for a few more words, and then she also left.Zhao Jing asked Zhang Yongshun's family to take her to the next place to have a light meal before leaving.At this time, the lunch in the side hall had already been set, and Mrs. Xu ordered the maids to call all the girls over, and the whole family had dinner together.

When a girl's family reaches the age of marriage, it is one thing to learn the etiquette of a red girl; on the other hand, she also needs to start going out more to socialize, so that the women in Beijing can take a look, and when it's time to talk about marriage, they can feel good about it. There are many.Now Xu Xian is 13 years old, at this age, and she has such a cautious temperament on weekdays, Zhao Jing really wanted to take her out for a walk.

As for Qi Xinrui, the old lady also privately asked Zhao Jing to visit a few families for her.Zhao Jing herself had just left the palace not long ago, and her contacts were not enough, so she had to ask Aunt Zhu to inquire on her behalf.However, with Qi Xinrui's appearance and character, it is more than enough for a bastard from an ordinary official family.The son-in-law wants to support the family, but when it comes to marrying a wife, most of them will choose some girls who are well-established and have some roots in their natal families, so as to help their future official careers.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing said, "Mother, I want to bring Second Sister Xian and Miss Qi with me when I go to Princess Xiaoyi's house next month." Besides, it was the first time for her to attend such an occasion, and it was already very difficult to take two girls with her.As for Sun Yu'e, if she brought her temper out, she would only be ashamed, and Zhao Jing didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
