The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 312 Sister Hui is with you every day (2)
Xu Xian hadn't made up her mind to go out these few days, but after hearing Mrs. Xu's words, she suddenly felt that she had some responsibilities on her shoulders, so she bit her lip, thought for a while, and then nodded heavily .

Seeing what she said, Zhao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, she had taken the first step.

Seeing that Xu Xian agreed, the old lady didn't say anything else, and gave Qi Xinrui another red gold ruby ​​butterfly flower hairpin on the plate.In terms of these objects, Mrs. Xu has always been a bowl of water. Since Qi Xinrui lives in the house, she is naturally indispensable.

Mrs. Xu saw that Sister Hui was there, so she specially asked Mama Zhang to go to the warehouse to find a golden lock and let Sister Hui play with it.

After dinner in the evening, everyone went back to their own residences. Because Xu Si'an was not at home, Qi Jiahui clamored to sleep with Zhao Jing. The old lady had no choice but to let her go.She didn't want a nanny either, so she followed Zhao Jing back to Mingde Hall alone.

Zhao Jing went back to Mingde Hall, only to hear that Xu Si'an had sent a servant back to report, saying that he would not be back until two days later, and that he was cleaning up military discipline these days, so he had no time to return home.

Zhao Jing was probably a little disappointed when she heard this, but Qi Jiahui comforted her from the side: "Auntie, if uncle doesn't come back, how about sister Hui accompanying you every day?"

Looking at her cute appearance, Zhao Jing's heart suddenly warmed up a little, she hugged her in her arms, only smiled and told the servant girl to wash her up, and asked the servant to go to Songhe Hall again, now The old lady hadn't fallen asleep yet, since Xu Si'an came back to send a letter, he would tell her eventually.

The night in this room is already quiet, but in Ziwei Garden over there, Qi Xinrui hasn't rested yet.As soon as summer comes, she has a problem of bitter summer, and her energy is not particularly good these few days, and because the mother-in-law of the He family came to visit her yesterday, she told her that Mrs. He's health is not very good these days.It will take several months for the child to fall to the ground, but Mrs. He is too sick to get out of bed, so she can only ask her mother-in-law to come over and tell her that if she has a good family, she can do these serious things earlier .

Although Qi Xinrui has lost her parents all these years, she was raised by her elder sister. Now when she thinks of how pitiful she is, she can't help crying.

Seeing her crying, Mother Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "My dear girl, why are you crying again? I know you are upset. Mrs. Xu looks at you and loves you, but she still loves her granddaughter after all. Look at this hairpin today, she gave you a red gold hairpin, but gave it to her granddaughter a jasper one. Nowadays, who doesn’t know that jasper things are really good things, as the saying goes, gold and silver are valuable and jade is priceless. Besides The ruby ​​on it is also too small, so it looks normal."

Qi Xinrui wasn't sad about this at first, but when she heard what Mother Zhong said, it made some sense, so she complained to herself and said, "I voted here with no one to rely on, how can I dislike these things, besides, the old lady loves you so much." Her own granddaughter, this is what should be done, and I am not sad because of this, but just thinking about the words my elder sister asked my mother to say yesterday, it makes my heart hang. "

Mentioning this Zhong's mother also frowned, and only sighed: "My aunt is also in a hurry, how can it be so fast, girl, don't worry, when Ming'er and Madam Hou go to the eldest princess's mansion together, first Keep your eyes open, maybe one or two girls will fall in love with you."

Qi Xinrui didn't have much confidence in her heart. In the past, she followed Mrs. He to the banquets of low-level officials, and those wives and grandmas still despised her for being lonely. Now the place she is going to is not the same as before. How can she behave calmly in front of them? Woolen cloth?
Qi Xinrui shook her head, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to lose everything. Mom, take out the clothes I want to wear tomorrow, so I can wear them tomorrow."

While Mother Zhong was speaking, she ordered the little maid to fetch it. Qi Xinrui got up from the soft couch, thinking about her uncertain future, and finally became a little more melancholy. When she turned her head, she saw that the little maid was already waiting aside with a tray Inside, there is a rose-red gold twig and leaf pattern long beanie, which feels a little festive when reflected in the candlelight.

Qi Xinrui asked, "Why did you get this one out? What about the lilac-colored set that the old lady asked her to make with needlework?"

Mother Zhong smiled and said: "Why is the girl thinking about which dress, the lilac color is also a little more pure, how can there be this rose red one."

Qi Xinrui said: "The lilac color is also very good. At that time, the old lady asked me to make it red. It was Mrs. Hou who said that the lady of Princess Chang's family must wear red that day, so she asked me to make a more plain color. It’s really a shame.”

"Girls from the princess family can wear bright red, so why can't our girls wear red? Besides, it's not bright red, it's just rose red, so it's not a color."

Mother Zhong said, then took the clothes from the little maid, and said: "If you put on this set of clothes, it will match the red gold and ruby ​​hairpin given by the old lady today, so you don't have to think about it. I'm sorry, I just said it was to match the hairpin."

After all, Qi Xinrui is a girl's family, and she doesn't have any opinions, so she nodded and agreed.
