The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 296 Do You Have Anything To Go Back? (2)
"Aunt Zhu said that Nanny Yun is also very good, but she is a bit old, she is already in her 40s, but at the beginning of this dynasty, in terms of etiquette and rules, she is not as good as these old nuns in the previous dynasty. I recommended her here, and I heard that when Princess Xiaoyi first returned to Beijing, she invited this Nanny Yun to the princess mansion to teach her eldest daughter some rules, but now that their daughter is older, she will marry in time , so she asked to resign from the house."

Zhao Jing didn't find it strange when she heard this. I heard that Princess Xiaoyi didn't have any sons under her knees, and only one daughter was regarded as a treasure. When she returned to Beijing at her age, she just wanted to find a job for her in the capital. Good marriage.Besides, she will be graduating next month, so there is really no need for a nanny who teaches etiquette.

Zhao Jing also heard from Zhang Yongshun's family that the Shuxiu of Madam Yun was only 100 taels a year, which was cheaper than her back then.And even though she is a widow, she has a very filial nephew. His nephew lost his mother when he was young, and he was brought up by her aunt. They are like mother and son.Now that nephew is considered promising, he has been admitted to Juren to be an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he only cares for her like a mother.The old lady couldn't stay idle, so she came out to recruit a few students.

Zhao Jing specially asked Zhang Yongshun's family to prepare the carriage for daily pick-up alone, and asked someone to clean the small classroom behind Jinhui Pavilion, waiting for the wives to answer all the trivial matters. But the family didn't go away.

Seeing that she didn't go down to run an errand, Zhao Jing was a little surprised, so she asked her, "Is there anything else you want to go back?"

Zhang Yongshun's family only smiled and stepped forward, seeing no one looked around, and said: "Our old lady is worried and insists on sending me to the He family to inquire about something. It's the same if you simply go back to your wife without telling your wife."

Zhao Jing has been busy with her children recently, and now she heard what Zhang Yongshun's family said, so she turned her attention to Qi Xinrui.She originally planned to send someone to He's house to find out why Mrs. He had to send Qi Xinrui here.Comparing people's hearts, although the Xu family and the Qi family are related by marriage, the aunt passed away, and the old lady adopted two children because of the aunt's sake. In fact, for Qi Xinrui, she and the Xu family are not related after all. Therefore.

Zhao Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Go ahead."

Zhang Yongshun's family then said: "The old man of the He family was originally a guerrilla general of the fourth rank under Mr. Feng. He was disabled due to his early battles. Now he is a member of the military department. When he was young, he was weak and sick, so he did not return to his father's old job, but instead took the imperial examination, he could be regarded as a young talent, so he married the eldest daughter of the prosperous Qi family at that time, which was considered harmonious."

When Zhao Jing heard this, she didn't know any tricks, so she put down the teacup, only saw the thick eyelids of Zhang Yongshun's family blink, and then said: "It's just that although this uncle of the He family is a talented person, he also has such a talent. Somewhat gifted and romantic, now there are three concubines in the house..."

At this time, Zhao Jing suddenly became enlightened. The feeling is that the brother-in-law has taken a fancy to the sister-in-law?She only had some guesses in her heart, and only heard Zhang Yongshun's family continue to say: "I asked the woman who was the gatekeeper on the second door of their house to inquire, and I guess there is nothing wrong. Ma'am, she said that she doesn't know how to flatter, and the Qi family is defeated now, how can it be so easy for Miss Qi to get married, and some people say..."

Zhang Yongshun's family was a bit sloppy when she said this, Zhao Jing saw her face was troubled, and asked, "What else is there to say?"

Zhang Yongshun's family also knows that Zhao Jing is a generous master, and they don't want to hide anything from her, so they whispered: "Some people say that Mrs. He has a big heart and doesn't look down on the uncle of the He family, so she sent Miss Qi to the Marquis of Wu'an's residence. I gave it away, after all, being a concubine of Lord Hou is much more respectable than being a concubine of the He family."

Zhao Jing really wanted to laugh when she heard this, not to mention that Xu Si'an didn't have such thoughts, even if he had such thoughts, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.Although the Qi family was defeated, but he took the twins' own aunt in as a concubine. I'm afraid that as an uncle, he still can't do it.

"Hey... those people are just bullying Mrs. He and Miss Qi are helpless." Zhao Jing recalled the situation when Mrs. He came over that day, she was already pregnant, but there was no joy on her face. A person who is distressed.

"You take some time in the past two days, take some supplements from the warehouse, and send them to He's house. By the way, tell Mrs. He that everything is fine when Miss Qi lives in our house, so she doesn't have to worry."

After Zhao Yongshun's family heard this, they naturally nodded their heads in agreement. Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhao Jing suddenly remembered something, and just asked her to stay on the trail: "I plan to go to Cihang Temple to offer incense on the first day of the lunar new year. Take the time to prepare for this as well.”

Although Mrs. Xu is also a great philanthropist who is willing to give, she doesn't like to go out to offer incense, and she always worships in the small Buddhist hall at home.When she was young, she also went out to offer incense. Who knew that those temples and Buddhist courtyards were actually a good place for wives and grandmas in the capital to socialize with each other. It's fragrant when I go out.

Zhao Jing went to Cihang Nunnery this time not only to offer incense, she also wanted to see Xu Xian's biological mother.
