The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 323 Tired (1)
The old lady really didn't call the maid to urge them to have dinner.

When Zhao Jing woke up, it was already late.Zhao Jing only felt that she was pressed against a thick and solid chest, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Xu Si'an had also fallen asleep.

He was probably tired the past few days, usually whenever Zhao Jing moved, he must have been alert, but this time he didn't move at all, his breathing was still smooth and even, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.Zhao Jing put her arms around his waistline, sniffing the unique manly breath on his body, feeling more and more at ease.

Only then did Xu Si'an slowly open his eyes. Seeing that Zhao Jing had already woken up, he frowned in bewilderment, smacked his face with his big palm, opened his eyes and said, "I fell asleep anyway, what time is it now?" Already?" He was about to wake up at this time, his eyelids were particularly obvious, and his eyes became more and more charming.

Zhao Jing pressed on his chest and refused to let him get up, half leaning on him and said: "It's getting dark, it's almost Xu time, isn't it?"

Xu Si'an hastily got up from the soft couch. He really didn't have a good rest in the barracks these few days, so this afternoon nap made him feel refreshed.

"Then let's go to the old lady's for dinner."

Seeing that Xu Si'an had woken up, Zhao Jing nodded, Xu Si'an hadn't come home for several days, if she didn't go there at this time, the old lady was afraid that if she didn't say anything, she would criticize Xu Si'an again in her heart.

The servant girl outside heard something moving inside, so she turned around and said to the little maid in the old lady's courtyard: "You go back to the old lady, the madam and Lord Hou have already woken up, and you can go over to have dinner right away, let the old lady go to the old lady's house." Let's serve dinner."

It turned out that Mrs. Xu didn't say any reminders, she was not in a hurry, she had already sent her maids to come several times, but she didn't remind her, she just waited outside the door, no... this time finally I didn't run away in vain.

When Zhao Jing and Xu Si'an went to Songhe Hall, dinner had already been prepared.

The old lady specially asked a few boys outside to come in for dinner together. Except for Feng Wei who went home, the other children came over.When Qi Jiabao saw Zhao Jing, he jumped up and down happily, but Xu Si'an cut off his beard halfway, stretched his long arms and hugged him in his arms, stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek and said, "Brother Bao!" Have you lost weight in the past few days? Could it be that the food in the outer courtyard is not good enough?"

"That's not it!" Qi Jiabao turned his head away from Xu Si'an's salty hands, frowned and said, "Don't uncle think I'm growing taller?"

Xu Si'an deliberately moved his body away, looked at Qi Jiabao again, frowned and said, "It seems that he has grown taller, so you can't see it if you hold it, so put it down and have a look." Then he put Qi Jiabao on the ground again, looked at The little guy was still at the root of his thigh, but he said solemnly: "Brother Bao has really grown taller, so I won't be able to call for hugs from now on."

Qi Jiabao curled his lips, and ran to Zhao Jing's side, Zhao Jing took his hand, and Zhao Erhu on the left, and the group went happily to the dining room.

Zhao Jing saw that Qi Xinrui wasn't there, but she didn't think it was strange, usually when Master Hou wanted to come over for dinner, the old lady would send someone to Ziwei Garden to inform her, and Qi Xinrui would not come.

But today the old lady said first: "I see that the children are here today, and it's rare that Master Hou is also at home, so I want to invite Miss Qi to come too. After all, it doesn't matter if they are relatives and have children. Knowing that she said that she was tired after going out today, so she didn't come here."

After hearing this, Xu Xian raised her eyebrows and glanced at Mrs. Xu. She is not a girl who likes to talk nonsense, so naturally she would not talk nonsense in front of the old lady, but she somewhat knew the reason why Qi Xinrui said that she was tired. When something like this happens, I don't know how to be sad!
Hearing what the old lady said, Zhao Jing naturally knew the reason, so she said, "It's too hot, and I'm really tired after going out. It's the same if I ask the kitchen to deliver some snacks."

The old lady Xu originally wanted to ask about Zhao Jing's experience when she went out today, but Xu Si'an was here, she was too embarrassed to say more, and it was not good to gossip in front of the children, the old lady finally held back.

After dinner, the old lady pushed them back to the room to go to sleep. Xu Si'an said that they would leave early in the morning, so they should be gentle as a young couple on this big night.

Seeing that the old lady was pretending to be sleepy before the time came, Zhao Jing took her leave graciously and went to Mingde Hall with Xu Si'an.

At this time, the heat has dissipated a lot, and there is a cool breeze blowing gently outside.Seeing that the maids were quite far away, Zhao Jing talked to Xu Si'an about what happened at Princess Xiaoyi's residence today.

"Miss Qi is gentle and demure, but now there is no one in the Qi family. She is an orphan girl, and she has no natal family to support her. After all, she is pitiful. Those wives and grandmas of wealthy and noble families, which ones don't have a pair of rich eyes, How many of them marry daughters-in-law but look at their looks? I heard a few words of their chat today, and I don’t think it’s very good in terms of words.” Zhao Jing didn’t tell Xu Si’an about Qi Xinrui and Lu Xinyue’s clash of shirts. A rough man, I'm afraid he may not understand what's important here.It's time to explain it to him again, and it seems that my daughter's family is petty.

"Mother's temperament is always like this, and it adds another big problem to you." Xu Si'an is obviously a little helpless about having such a girl living in the house, but things are already like this, and the Xu family can't do anything to let people leave at this time Such things come.
