The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 373 Invitation (1)
Xu Si'an sent Zhao Jing and Mrs. Xu back home, and then went to the barracks again.The struggle to suppress the bandits in the south has reached its final moment. The imperial court has sent several civil servants to negotiate peace, but the remnants of the previous dynasty are still stubbornly resisting. The vanguard has swept to the front line of Lingnan.As the commander-in-chief of Gyeonggi, Xu Si'an must have been busier these days.

Zhao Jing personally watched Xu Si'an leave, and then turned back to the mansion. Mrs. Xu had already returned to Songhe Hall, and a woman came up to answer, saying that Aunt Zhu from Xingyue Tower had come.

Xingyue Tower usually has a booming business, and Aunt Zhu is rarely able to spare time, which corresponds to an old saying that if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall.

Zhao Jing knew that Aunt Zhu must have something to do when she came here, so she didn't have time to go back to Mingde Hall to change, so she went to the side hall of the outer courtyard for guests.Aunt Zhu was sitting inside waiting, when she saw Zhao Jing approaching, she put down the teacup in a hurry, got up and said with a smile: "Look at you, you must be pregnant, you are not used to it yet. ?”

Zhao Jing's cheeks turned red when she heard this, except for her family, she never mentioned her pregnancy to anyone outside, how could everyone know so clearly.

Seeing her blushing, Aunt Zhu smiled and pulled Zhao Jing to sit down and said, "These days there are rumors going crazy in the capital, saying that the old lady of the He family was struck to death by lightning because she poisoned her daughter-in-law. Now that this matter is raging, even the old ladies who used to treat their daughters-in-law harshly have calmed down a bit, and they are afraid that God will get angry and clean them up."

Zhao Jing looked at Aunt Zhu's excited expression and couldn't help shaking her head, but the man said: "I know that you were the one who helped with this matter, otherwise Mrs. He might have died at this moment." Two lives."

Thinking of Mrs. He's pitiful appearance, Zhao Jing just sighed and said, "I just saw that she was sick, so I was more concerned, thinking that God has the virtue of good health, maybe I will let the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital see her." Can get better, who knows that such a thing will happen, it's just a pity that the child was not saved after all."

Aunt Zhu also sighed when she heard the words, her face was more regrettable, and seeing Zhao Jing like this again, she cheered up and said, "Now that you are pregnant, don't think about such things, and feel relieved." Well, I didn't want to come today, it's just that someone wanted to see you and entrusted me to take this trip."

Zhao Jing married into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion only a little over two months ago, she is still a bride, and there are few people walking around in the capital, so she couldn't guess who wanted to see her, so she asked Aunt Zhu, "Zhu My sister might as well tell me who it is, but I know it?"

Aunt Zhu knew that she had come here abruptly this time, and she felt a little embarrassed, but she still said bluntly: "It was Madam Guo, who said she wanted to meet you, so let me introduce her, now you are Wu'an Mrs. Hou, there are quite a few people who want to make friends with you, and I don't bother to match up with those who don't come to the stage, but you can meet this uncle and madam."

Zhao Jing was secretly puzzled after hearing this, but she had seen Liu Qingyan a few times, last time at Princess Xiaoyi's mansion, she even offered a few words of help to herself, but Zhao Jing didn't talk to her at that time. She chatted a few words, now that she has asked Aunt Zhu to introduce her, if she doesn't see her, she will seem too cold.

Besides... Zhao Jing herself couldn't figure out why Liu Qingyan wanted to see her.

"In that case, let's see each other."

After Zhao Jing said this, she heard Aunt Zhu continue: "Uncle Guo is waiting at Xingyue Tower now, but I didn't know you were going out today, but you were delayed here for quite a while."

At this time, it is not yet time for lunch. If you go after lunch, the weather outside will get hotter. Zhao Jing thought about it, and ordered her maid to go to Songhe Hall to deliver a message, saying that she followed Aunt Zhu. Take a trip to Xingyue Tower, even if you can't come back in time, it doesn't matter if you have a light meal outside.

Seeing Zhao Jing's arrangement, Aunt Zhu felt a little bit sorry, she just smiled and said: "The cook in my building is also good, why don't you just have a light meal at my place."

Zhao Jing is not hungry at all. As the saying goes, for a pregnant woman who is not hungry, she vomits more than she eats.

The servant girl went to Songhe Hall to deliver a message, but the old lady only told her to go and return early, and didn't say anything else.Zhao Jing took Lu Wu and the two accompanying women, and went to Xingyue Tower with Aunt Zhu.

After entering the gate of Xingyue Building, there was a cool and shady ice cellar within the curtain, Zhao Jing followed Aunt Zhu up to the second floor, stopped outside a private room next to the back garden, and ordered someone to Go in and pass the word.
