The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 318
Zhao Jing felt a little embarrassed when she saw something on her mind for a while, and then thought that Mrs. Gong was in the hall early in the morning when she didn't come, so she asked with a smile: "I just heard outside the door, saying It was our Lord Hou who beat the Fourth Young Master of Taifu Kang's family, but I don't know much about it..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Gong glanced at Ping Xihou and Mrs. Kang, and said with a smile: "I only listened to a little bit, and Mrs. Kang just shed tears, it seems that the beating was serious."

Zhao Jing frowned when she heard the words. Xu Si'an's temperament has always been one-sided. She also persuaded him before he left. Now that he has just returned to Beijing, it is not the time to offend the powerful. Obviously, he has taken his words as a deaf ear.Even if Kang Taifu could hold a boat in his stomach, his son would be beaten, so he wouldn't feel distressed.Besides, the Empress Dowager liked Kang Ning so much, if she became Empress Dowager in the future, that person would be the emperor's own uncle.Xu Si'an is very good at killing chickens and monkeys, so he chose such a person to perform the operation.

However, even so, Zhao Jing will not apologize to Mrs. Kang for this matter. After all, the affairs of the court are not something women in the back house like them can participate in. Is it right?

"I can understand Mrs. Kang's feelings, but Hou Ye must also enforce the law impartially. After all, these court affairs have little to do with us." Zhao Jing said as she picked up the teacup and sipped it. After taking a sip of tea, when she raised her head, she saw Gong was looking down at her with a smile on her face.

She narrowed her eyes and said to Zhao Jing with a smile: "Mrs. Xu is right. After all, these things have nothing to do with us." She lowered her head and looked at the jade on her wrist with some disinterestedness. Suddenly raised the bracelet, looked at Zhao Jing and said, "But...Madam, can you think about what happened in the palace that day, and say a few nice words in front of the emperor and queen mother?"

Zhao Jing was confused by her thoughtless words for a while, and when she wanted to ask more questions, she saw that Mrs. Gong had stood up and went elsewhere.Zhao Jing frowned and thought for a long time, the teacup in her hand was gradually getting cold, she suddenly raised her head in shock, remembering that day when she fell into the water in the palace.On that day, a servant girl falsely passed on Gong's intentions and brought Zhao Jing into the back garden.

Zhao Jing sighed helplessly in her heart, she walked on thin ice in the palace and was cautious everywhere, but the ones who really had to deal with it were the Queen Mother and the Regent.But now that he is out of the palace, there are more and more thorns everywhere, it is really hard to guard against.If it weren't for what Gong Shi said today, she might not be able to figure it out in this life. The last time I ran into the little emperor in the palace, it was not an accident.

Zhao Jing thought of this but couldn't help laughing at herself. The Gong family is really smart. She knew the emperor was going out of the palace, but she didn't let Gong Yingxue go to the palace. Instead, she attracted herself to see the good show and directly eliminated the fourth girl of the Gu family. Out of the game, this method of borrowing a knife to kill people is skillful.

Zhao Jing suddenly felt a little bored in her heart, probably because there were more and more people in the hall.She knew what Gong meant. Now that the regent has suppressed the matter of the little emperor being crowned empress, it means that all the famous ladies in the capital have this opportunity. Gong Yingxue looks really good, but who will the empress be left to in the end? Even what the little emperor himself said doesn't count, let alone her?

While chatting and laughing, Mrs. Gong has returned to Zhao Jing, and brought a few wives and grandmothers who Zhao Jing is not very familiar with. Everyone was very polite to her, Mrs. Wu'an Hou, and they all came forward to say hello, Zhao Jing returned one by one. Out of etiquette, Zhao Jing didn't want to refuse the olive branch offered by Mrs. Gong.

Xu Si'an is now in full swing, she must be sought after by others, but in the future, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, the border will be settled, and the lintel of the military family will continue to support it after all.What's more, there are several children's marriages... Zhao Jing thought of this, and she also cheered up, and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, her eyes touched Gong's slightly, and they staggered each other tacitly.

"Mrs. Xu is so well cared for. I saw you in the palace before, and I thought you were only in your early twenties! It can be seen that I am not old, but my eyes are blurred first." It was the later grandma of the Gong family who spoke, It was Gong's sister-in-law.

Zhao Jing smiled and said: "The empress dowager is very good at beauty. Every year, the imperial doctor in the palace is invited to make beauty ointments. I usually use those. The days when I am out of the palace are not very long, but I don't have much chance to go out often. , I heard that these ointments made by Yuyanfang in the capital are also very good, I will go to see them someday."

The young lady of the Gong family smiled and said, "You don't need to go there specially, just ask my mother-in-law to come, the boss over there will naturally bring things to your house."

In terms of these maintenance methods, Zhao Jing is indeed not as good as them. Everyone saw that the balm was mentioned, and it became lively for a while. Some said that the balm from Yuyanfang was good, and some said it was the goose egg powder from Yaxiangzhai. Well, what's more, there is a new "Beauty with Plain Noodles" recently opened in Beijing, which sells all kinds of flower essential oils, and it was quite popular for a while.

Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Kang were not here at first, but now they saw everyone gathered around, so they also came to join in the fun, but when Mrs. Shi came over, she heard someone smiling and said to her: "Mrs. Shi really wants to Come and listen, the wind and sand in the northwest can wrinkle your face, and I heard from my mother that the madam was the most beautiful woman in the capital back then!"
