The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 34: Someone Behind (2)
For an orthodox slave like Mama Zhang, a village woman like Mama Han might not even have the qualifications to be a servant.It's no wonder that she has been aggrieved all these years and can't get up the energy to fight with them.It is really difficult to compete against opponents who are not on the same level. If they don't care about playing cards in a routine, they can piss off Zhang's mother, who has always taken the rules very seriously.

"If Lord Hou doesn't come back again, the Hou Mansion will be in chaos. If there are not a few old housekeepers left behind by Old Lord Hou to watch, I'm afraid it will also suffer. Anyway, the backyard is already in chaos. Now, the old lady probably doesn't even know how much money she has. I heard that Madam Hou's funeral was arranged by the court, but the condolence money was collected by the government. Miss Jing needs to check it out. It's better to give it to Lord Hou in person when he comes back, otherwise the money will go to no one knows where it will go if it changes hands."

Zhao Jing saw her vomit bitterness in front of her, and she was happy to listen to her chatter. It wasn't until she finished talking and scolded Mother Han severely that she realized that she had been holding back for so many years. Why did you say it all in one breath today!
Mother Zhang looked at Zhao Jing with some embarrassment, and saw that she was leaning on the carriage and smiling slightly, with her hands in her sleeves, her half-height collar on her snow-white neck, and she was quietly listening to herself. .

"Miss Jing, don't laugh at me, old lady, I really..."

Zhao Jing saw that she was in a bad mood, so she simply smiled and said: "I have also been in your house for a while, and naturally I can see some of it. I am dissatisfied with you, and the previous accounts are almost cleared. When the matter is over, I will go to the old lady myself."

"Girl, don't..." Zhang's mother froze in anxiety, and said a little embarrassedly: "It would be the best if I can wait for Hou Ye to come back and give it to him in person."

Although Mama Zhang's request is reasonable, Zhao Jing cannot agree to this matter. She will leave the palace in a few days, and it is impossible to carry these things on her body. Besides, she has fulfilled the Queen Mother's will to carry out the funeral. , there is no reason to cling to the account books of the Marquis of Wu'an, so that others will really think that she has gained some great benefits!

"I will give the account book and the cash to the old lady, and I will also have the old lady press her fingerprints. I can also go back to the palace to deal with errands. If Lord Hou comes back in the future, the money on it will be less, and you will know when you check the account book. If you I feel that the account books at home don’t count, so you can go to the household department to check the account books, and there will be no fake ones.” Zhao Jing guessed Zhang’s mother’s concerns, so she added another sentence, only smiling: “These words I'll tell you, when Lord Hou comes back, you can tell him the same thing."

"It's Miss Jing who is thoughtful." Zhang's mother was relieved when she heard that the household department also had an account book. I don't know who will be lucky in the future, marry and go home to be the head grandmother.

When we arrived at Puzhao Temple, it was not yet noon.Because Zhao Jing said she would come over yesterday, Mrs. Xu sent someone over to say something first, fearing that the people here would not be well received.That's why Zhao Jing got out of the carriage and saw an old lady about five or sixty years old standing at the door to welcome her.

Mama Zhang whispered in Zhao Jing's ear, "This is Mama Sun."

Zhao Jing was short-sighted in her previous life, and she couldn't see clearly from a distance. In this life, she is rare to have a shell with sharp eyes and ears, and she can get an overview of Mama Sun at a glance.I saw Mama Sun wearing a royal blue silk gown, squirrel shoulders, and a gold thread embroidered with the same color on her forehead, holding a small copper stove in her hand. By the side, she doesn't have this posture.

Zhao Jing knew in her heart that if she was used to being a slave, no matter how decent she was, she would still have some rules when she was away from her master.Now that she saw this Mama Sun, she finally understood, maybe Mrs. Xu had never treated her as a real person, and sincerely treated her as a good sister, otherwise, Mama Sun would not be able to show such pampering in her bones.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Xu, Zhao Jing, speaking in all fairness, if she treats her benefactor, she really can't control him right now.

"Mother Sun!" Zhao Jing stepped forward and gave her a little blessing, with a calm expression on her face, but she didn't need to be too polite if she just said a few words to get things done.

Mother Sun had a smile on her face at first, but when she saw Zhao Jing gave her a cold face, she could only smile at her and said, "This is the aunt in the palace, right? I heard the person who passed the message You said it was from the palace, and you thought you were my age, but you didn’t expect it to be a young girl’s family?”

When Mrs. Hou just passed away, Ms. Sun went to the Hou Mansion to express her condolences. At that time, Zhao Jing hadn't taken over the affairs of the Hou Mansion, so today was the first time they met.

Zhao Jing smiled, it couldn't be more shallow, but the whole person suddenly became vivid, and she just said lightly: "Mom is right, I am indeed a young girl, and I have to rely on your care about things here. gone."
