The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 319 Pretend not to know? (1)
Zhao Jing didn't pay attention to Mrs. Shi's appearance just now. She is tall and taller than all the ladies in this hall. Therefore, if she stood and looked at someone closely, she would feel like looking down, so Zhao Jing rarely sees people like this.But now that Mrs. Shi had spoken, Zhao Jing couldn't help being curious, and glanced at Mrs. Shi's face.

She just thought she seemed a bit old, but now she looked closely, but she should be in her early thirties, but the cheekbones on her cheeks were a bit high, and there was a bright red that couldn't be concealed, which made her feel People look older.

I heard that the climate in the Northwest is arid, with wind and sand all the year round. No matter how young a woman has lived there for more than ten years, it may be difficult for her to maintain her moist skin.At this time, someone said such a thing, wouldn't it be a satire on Mrs. Shi's face and age?

Think about ten years ago when she hadn't left Beijing, she was as beautiful as a flower, and when she came back ten years later, she was old, but the friends she knew before hadn't changed much, how could she not feel sad?
Sure enough, Mrs. Shi's expression changed immediately. She cast a cold glance at the woman who spoke just now, and walked away without looking back.Zhao Jing, however, had no time to take care of their personal grievances. It was just that she was teased in public by Mrs. Ping Xihou before she entered the door. Naturally, it was embarrassing. Now that someone stabbed her, it seemed like she was helping herself , then raised his head and glanced in that person's direction, only to see Liu Qingyan standing aside, looking at a blooming orchid.

As if sensing Zhao Jing's gaze, Liu Qingyan raised her head and nodded towards her.But before the two of them had time to talk, a woman from the house came in to reply, saying that the banquet outside had already been set up and all the guests were invited to sit.

Zhao Jing followed the woman who led the way to the banquet hall, and she sat down. After a while, she saw the little maid leading Gong Yingxue, Xu Xian, and Qi Xinrui over.

Seeing her mother coming, Gong Yingxue separated from Xu Xian and happily went up to her.Zhao Jing beckoned to Xu Xian, Xu Xian suddenly smiled, and walked over briskly, holding her skirt.

Seeing beads of sweat forming on her face, Zhao Jing wiped her face and said, "Is it fun outside?"

Xu Xian nodded, feeling rather embarrassed. Gong Yingxue and the other girls treated her well. Although those girls knew that Xu Xian was not engaged yet, she didn't go to the Dragon Boat Festival last time, so she didn't plan to enter the palace. .What's more, now that Xu Si'an is in Gyeonggi Daying, many noble children are his subordinates, and everyone has no reason to offend the niece of the brother's immediate boss at home. Even if someone knows Xu Xian's life experience, they dare not say anything. But his face still had an amicable look.

Zhao Jing wiped her sweat, brought her a bowl of almond tea, and went to talk to Qi Xinrui again.The girl's face was full of anticipation, as if she had been greatly wronged. Zhao Jing didn't know what to say, so she whispered to her: "After lunch, I will ask the little girl to take you to Mother Zhong. Ask her if she has an extra set of clothes for you."

Qi Xinrui felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this, as if Zhao Jing also disliked her wearing this dress, her eyes turned red.Zhao Jing had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "I know what you are thinking, but this kind of occasion is not the time for you and me to stand out. Where every girl stands out, you and I should keep a low profile."

Qi Xinrui nodded slightly aggrieved upon hearing this.Fortunately, the banquet started soon, and Zhao Jing didn't say anything more to her, but Lu Xinyue never came out during the banquet.Although everyone didn't speak much, they probably knew the reason, and Qi Xinrui felt more and more restless, as if everyone was looking at her.

The Jiji set by Princess Xiaoyi was at the beginning of the end of time. After lunch, everyone went back to the main hall to drink a few sips of tea, and the ceremony began.It was also the first time for Zhao Jingyin to be a preceptor, so she specially found a copy of "Nvshi" to read, and kept the etiquette from above in mind. Xu Xian's preceptor.

Everyone stood around the hall to watch the ceremony, and then a maid led Lu Xinyue in through the main entrance. As expected, she had already changed into a lilac-colored satin beige with butterfly and flower patterns, because she was naturally fair-skinned and had a few years of age. She is so delicate and delicate as a young girl, but this outfit makes her slim and graceful even more.

When Qi Xinrui saw Lu Xinyue's outfit, she remembered the dress that Zhao Jing had prepared for her earlier, but it happened to be this color. If she wore it, she would not lose to Lu Xinyue, and she would not be the same as Lu Xinyue. Xinyue bumped into each other, but she was wearing this one again, and she was really wronged and wronged to have such a heart-wrenching incident.Thinking of this, Qi Xinrui couldn't hold back her tears. Seeing that everyone was standing quietly, she could only hold back and shrugged her shoulders.

Entering the main hall, Lu Xinyue knelt down on the futon, Zhao Jing took the comb presented by the maid, and combed Lu Xinyue's hair. Twist into a bun and secure.
