The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 358 Seeing Red (2)
"Why is it such a coincidence when you talk about the things in this world? I saw the old lady He domineering yesterday. She is as handsome as me, the old Mrs. Hou, and she speaks moderately." Perfect, who knows but didn't live past this morning!"

When the old lady remembered that she almost suffered from the old lady He at He's house yesterday, she felt a little unhappy, but now that she is dead, she felt a little disrespectful when she said that, so she smiled narrowly and said: In front of the juniors, she still had to act like an old Fengjun.

Mother Zhang saw the old lady like this, she just smiled and said: "That's not true, so this person has a definite number, if the King of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, you won't survive the fifth watch."

At this time, Qi Jiahui was lazily lying in the arms of the old lady Xu, but after hearing this, she became energetic again, raised her head and asked: "Old ancestor, I heard from the nanny that the old lady was struck to death by lightning, she Did something bad happen?"

This kind of thing spread quickly, Zhang Yongshun's family came to Songhe Hall to reply, and everyone in the courtyard knew about it.This is based on rumors, and the original version has also changed. From the lightning smashing the ancestral hall, the beams on the ancestral hall smashing people to death, it is directly simplified to the thunder hitting people to death...

Therefore, it was the latest version that reached Qi Jiahui's little ears.

At this moment, Zhao Jing and Xu Si'an came in from outside the door. After hearing this, she didn't know how to answer for a while, but Xu Si'an said seriously: "Sister Hui is right. To be a person, you must have kind thoughts in your heart and be open and aboveboard. Because people You are doing it, and the sky is watching, even if others don’t know, God knows that you have done bad things, so you will be struck by lightning, do you understand?”

Zhao Jing really didn't like him scaring the children like this, Qi Jiahui curled her lips, hid in the arms of the old lady Xu, and whispered: "Uncle, I was hungry last night, and I secretly ate the food that my ancestor gave me. Did the heavens see the supper for my brothers? Could it also call thunder to strike me..."

The little girl was timid, and she couldn't help crying when she said this. The old lady Xu gave Xu Si'an a hasty look, and said bitterly: "It's so early in the morning, what are you talking about, and you want to teach your children? When your daughter-in-law is born, I will teach you as you please, but it will be your turn to frighten Sister Hui!"

Xu Si'an was speechless after hearing this, so Zhao Jing stepped forward with a smile, took sister Hui into her arms, and said with a smile: "If sister Hui is hungry in the future, just tell the nanny and she will have something to eat. But you are a little girl, if you eat too much before going to bed at night, you will become fat. Brothers read books late at night, so the ancestor specially ordered the kitchen to send them some snacks every night."

A group of people had breakfast in Songhetang, and Qi Xinrui also knew the news of Mrs. He's death. She only waited for the old lady to speak, and then went to the He family to mourn the funeral together.

Mrs. Xu thought of the quarrel with Mrs. He yesterday, and she still felt a little unhappy in her heart, so Zhao Jing said: "Mother just stays at home. I took Miss Qi there. Now that something like this happened to the He family, it's too late. Mrs. He may not be able to pick it up, so it's better to ask Imperial Physician Du to go over and have a look, and see how I can save my life."

The old lady Xu just nodded, frowned and said: "You persuade her well, I saw her like that yesterday, and I thought of my sister Ping."

Although Zhao Jing has never met her eldest aunt, judging from the current appearance of sister Hui and brother Bao, she must be not bad.Mrs. Xu had a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person, and Xu Si'an was the only one left among her three children. After all, she felt uncomfortable.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely persuade Mrs. He."

Zhao Jing went back to Mingde Hall and changed into plain clothes, Zhang Yongshun's family had already come to reply, saying that the carriage was ready.

The streets and alleys were very cool after the rain. Zhao Jing and Qi Xinrui were sitting in the carriage, while Xu Si'an followed on horseback.Zhao Jing looked at Qi Xinrui's worried face, and only patted the back of her hand to reassure her: "Don't worry, your sister will be fine."

Qi Xinrui was timid in the first place, but after going through so many things for a while, her edges and corners have been worn down a little bit, she just bit her lip and nodded.

The carriage arrived at the He Mansion in a short while, and the white flags had already been hung on the lintel, Xu Si'an got off the horse and helped Zhao Jing get off the carriage, and the woman inside had already greeted her.

Zhao Jing knew that it was impossible to welcome guests in person with Madam He's body, so she followed her into the main courtyard, and there were not many relatives who came to express their condolences, so she led Zhao Jing to congratulate Madam that day. The woman in the room came to attend.

Seeing that person, Qi Xinrui blessed her body and called her: "Aunt Qiu."

Aunt Qiu looked very haggard, with no makeup on her face, which was very different from the radiant appearance Zhao Jing saw last time.

After offering incense in Mrs. He's mourning hall, Zhao Jing and Xu Si'an separated, and Aunt Qiu led them to Mrs. He's room.The group of people walked halfway, when suddenly a little servant girl came over in a panic and said: "Aunt Qiu, it's not good... Madam is probably frightened, her fetus is gasping, and she is already red!"
