The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 292: The Devil (2)
Mrs. Xu has never had a good impression of such occasions. Hearing what Zhao Jing said, she still felt a little disapproving. On the other hand, Mother Zhang had already seen through Zhao Jing's thoughts, and she was afraid that the girls would be embarrassed, so she leaned into the old lady's ear. Mrs. Xu understood immediately, she just nodded and said: "This is very good, you can take them there, and let the needleworkers come over in a while, and make a new set of clothes for each of them, and then they can wear them go."

After Zhao Jing heard this, she raised her head and smiled at Zhang's mother, but the two girls felt a little uneasy. Xu Xian's brows and eyes were already wrinkled together. She has never been to other people since she grew up. Home, after hearing this, I suddenly felt that I didn't know what to eat.

Zhao Jing was also worried when she saw her like that, but she just thought that she would have to take this step in the future, so she smiled and called her, "Sister Xian."

Xu Xian was thinking wildly, when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Jing in a daze, and replied in a low voice, "Auntie."

Zhao Jing smiled at her and said, "Eat well, don't rush to leave after eating, I still have something to tell you."

At this time, Xu Xian was too nervous to eat, so she took a few mouthfuls in a hurry.After a while, the old lady had already had lunch and ordered the maids to clean up, so Zhao Jing led Xu Xian and Qi Xinrui to sit down in the living room.

Qi Xinrui is very indifferent, presumably when Mrs. He was raising her, she also had such entertainment.On the contrary, Xu Xian was still nervous, and she was already preoccupied before she went out.

The old lady had already ordered the maid to call the needleworker to come and tailor the two clothes for them. Qi Xinrui generously gave way, but Xu Xian still had a painful expression.

Zhao Jing saw that the needleworkers had gone out, so she asked them both to sit down, and said, "The lady from Xingyue Tower will arrive at the beginning of the month, so you should take a good rest these two days, and when the beginning of the month comes, I will let her I will teach you the etiquette of going out, after seven or eight days of learning, you should be able to get started."

After Qi Xinrui nodded, Xu Xian also began to nod ignorantly, and the two left one after another.Seeing Xu Xian like that, Zhao Jing couldn't bear it after all, and when she reached the door, she ordered her maid to call her in.Xu Xian stood in front of Zhao Jing with her head down, and said after a long time: "Auntie, I don't want to go out, can I not..."

Zhao Jing looked at her aggrieved appearance and didn't know what to say for a while. It's normal for an ancient girl who doesn't go out of the house to have a little social phobia, but one day in the future she will also want to To go out, this step must be taken out.

"Sister Xian, come here." Zhao Jing beckoned Xu Xian to come up to her, took her thin wrist, and raised her head to look at her.The little girl is already fourteen years old, but she hasn't bloomed yet. Compared with Qi Xinrui and Sun Yu'e, she really looks thin and shriveled, but her appearance is really good, with a bit of beauty in her elegance, delicate but not gorgeous Vulgar, in another two years, Qi Xinrui and Sun Yu'e might not be able to compare to her.

If such a girl can't be a good husband's family to be pampered, Zhao Jing will not agree.But to find a good husband's family, Xu Xian has to improve herself first.Who can appreciate this timid look now?
"Have you forgotten what I told you before? You are a big girl now, and some things cannot be escaped. Although there are many brothers and sisters in this family, you are the real flesh and blood of the uncle. Me and I Master Hou is thinking that you can find a good family in the future."

What Zhao Jing said was straightforward, and Xu Xian's ears became hotter when she heard it, and said coyly: "But Auntie, I have never gone out, what if... what if something goes wrong?"

"How could you make a mistake? You learned the rules from me before, and you have always learned quickly and well, so you can make mistakes. Besides, a female gentleman will come over at the beginning of the month, and she will teach you the etiquette when going out. You Just learn it."

"I...I..." Xu Xian was so red-faced that she didn't dare to speak, her eyes were filled with tears.Seeing her frightened look, Zhao Jing frowned, and asked her simply: "Are you afraid that they will laugh at you if they know your background?"

Xu Xian's background in Marquis Wu'an's Mansion was not really a secret. Although the servants dared not mention it on the stage, there were quite a few rumors in private.Because Xu Xian has been bullied by Sun Yu'e all the year round, she has been using it as an insult in various ways. She is very sensitive about this matter, as if everyone in the world knows these things about her, and she can't hold her head up in front of servants.

It was like a heart demon that locked Xu Xian firmly, making her more sensitive, inferior, and cowardly.Zhao Jing didn't know how to persuade Xu Xian, so after thinking about it, she sighed and said, "Go back first, the Jiji ceremony at the Princess's Mansion will be next month, you can still think about whether you want to go or not." ?”
