The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 316 Intentional (2)
When Zhao Jing first came in, she heard that Xu Si'an had beaten someone, but now she guessed that it was Mrs. Kang's son.It's funny to say that Kang Taifu was the number one scholar in the previous dynasty, but his sons were all mediocre. Only the eldest son inherited his mantle and made great achievements in his official career.And this youngest son, who is also loved by Mrs. Kang, has developed a habit of being a dandy since he was a child. Now he is in his early twenties and has not yet married. In a fit of anger, Taifu Kang let him enter the capital camp to practice hard.

Think about people in their twenties, Xu Si'an has been fighting all the year round, he has already cultivated a dignified and tough temperament, and his speech is even more powerful, but his son is held in the palm of his hand, and he is still a dude. Jing felt that Xu Si'an was getting better again in her heart.

Mrs. Kang originally didn't want to talk to Zhao Jing, but she seemed to be a little afraid of Princess Xiaoyi, so she stood up with a smile, and gave a half-respect to Zhao Jing.Zhao Jing suddenly understood a little bit again, thinking that Master Kang only helped her upright, but he hadn't written a letter to ask for an imperial order for her, otherwise, if Master Kang is a first-rank Taifu and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, she would still be a first-rank Madam Gaoming, there is no need to salute Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing didn't take it too seriously, and just blessed her body, which was considered a repayment of the courtesy.

Except for Mrs. Guo's wife Liu Qingyan, the other two wives each brought a young girl with them, but only Mrs. Kang came here alone.No one in the capital knew that this granddaughter of Kang Taifu's eldest son had both talent and beauty, and now she was the best candidate for the position of empress.But such a girl didn't come here today.

As soon as Zhao Jing took her seat, the main hall became lively. From time to time, female guests from other families came over, and there were more and more girls in the hall.

Qi Xinrui used to only hide behind Zhao Jing, but now there are more and more people, and the girls always want to greet each other, so she feels awkward, wearing such a dress, everyone thinks with their big toes, and knows that she must be unaffected Welcome, so no one came to talk to her at all.

Xu Xian was timid, and followed Zhao Jing's side every step of the way, watching the girls talking timidly, not daring to go over.However, people frequently looked at her, as if they were interested in her.Zhao Jing recognized the girl, she came with Gong Shi, and it was Lord Gong's eldest granddaughter, Gong Yingxue, so she turned her head to Xu Xian and said, "That's Miss Gong, she told you to come over, so you can go."

Xu Xian still didn't dare, Zhao Jingzheng didn't know how to persuade her, but Gong Yingxue came over generously, leaned towards Zhao Jingfu and said, "Ma'am, I can take sister Xian to play in the flower hall outside for a while." , someone is forming a poetry club over there."

Although Zhao Jing knew that Xu Xian definitely didn't like any poetry club, it was good for her to take a look at such a lively place, after all, she had experienced a lot and became more courageous.Zhao Jing smiled and said: "You go," she glanced at Qi Xinrui again, it was pitiful to be singled out like this, and then said: "Miss Qi, let's go together too."

Although she clashed with Lu Xinyue, the master didn't say anything after all, and it seemed unreasonable for her to hide like this.At this moment, the servant girls and mother-in-law didn't follow her in, and she couldn't find anyone to ask if Mama Zhong had prepared another dress for her.

After hearing this, Qi Xinrui only glanced at Zhao Jing gratefully, but felt embarrassed herself, so she whispered: "I... I won't go..."

Xu Xian always felt that Qi Xinrui was generous and decent, and she didn't understand the rules here, so she held her hand and said, "Aunt Qi, shall we go together?"

Gong Yingxue on the side had already understood a little bit, but now it was Zhao Jing who spoke in person, and she couldn't refuse, so she followed with a smile and said: "Then let's go together, I don't know how to compose poetry, just go to see lively."

Seeing that both of them were so persistent, Qi Xinrui nodded in agreement, and followed them to the flower hall.

The so-called flower hall was originally a water pavilion surrounded by water on three sides. There were flowers of various colors in the front and back of the house. Even the beams of the house were covered with green vines, and nameless flowers bloomed in the sun.The curtain made of twisted gauze is hung in the hall, as thin as a cicada's wing, but it completely separates the heat outside the house, and there is a gentle breeze blowing across the water, bringing bursts of cool air.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the flower hall, and before entering the door, they heard a few little maids chatting in the Baosha.

"Did you see that Miss Qi just now? She is also wearing rose red clothes. She is really shameless." The leading maid seemed to be eloquent when she heard it, and she began to criticize unceremoniously.

"You girl, stop talking nonsense, the girl didn't say anything, what are you talking about here?"

The servant girl heard this, but said reluctantly: "I'm not wrong, that Miss Qi is just an orphan girl without father and mother, similar to us, and she is dressed in such fancy clothes. After she passed away, she refused to wear red clothes. This time, because she wanted to be young, the eldest princess specially made this brand-new dress for her. She was afraid that she would not wear it when she was red, so she chose a rose red color. Look at the girls who came here today, which one is dressed like her? It is clear that she is the only one on purpose. "
