The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 410 Marriage (2)
Zhao Jing didn't pay much attention these few days, and she was about to feel better, and she could eat something even when the weather wasn't hot. At this time, when Mama Zhang mentioned it, she couldn't help reaching out and caressing her cheek The lower abdomen, seeing that the originally flat lower abdomen has a slight curvature, I couldn't help but hook the corners of my lips.

The old lady was already waiting for Zhao Jing to pass by, and then she heard the servant girl coming in to pass the message, so she went up to greet Zhao Jing, and said with a smile on her face when she saw Zhao Jing: "Come in, come in, just wait You're back."

Zhao Jing shortly entered the door, only to see a middle-aged woman about 35 six sitting in the hall, behind her stood a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, with red lips and white teeth, tall and thin, handsome and elegant.

When the middle-aged woman saw Zhao Jing coming in, she also got up to greet her. Mrs. Xu finally closed her mouth that was grinning from ear to ear, and introduced to Zhao Jing: "This is Mrs. Gu. Her husband is from Linzhang. The magistrate of the prefecture was just transferred back to the capital this year, and now he is the Minister of Dali Temple in the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhao Jing only thought that she looked a little familiar, but she couldn't think of who she looked like for a while. It was really said that she was stupid for three years. She just started, and her brain is not working well. up.

Seeing that Zhao Jing hadn't recognized Zhao Jing for a long time, Mrs. Xu finally couldn't help laughing and said, "She's Lay Wei's two aunts and sisters, do you look like her?"

Zhao Jing finally came to a sudden realization at this moment, and almost yelled out of shock, she just smiled and said, "No wonder! It really looks like it, but I didn't recognize it for a moment."

Since Mrs. Gu is Wei Zhuyun's two aunts and sisters, she is the aunt of Sister Xian, but now she brings her son here to propose marriage. It must be Wei Zhuyun who revealed Xu Xian's life experience to her.

The maids came forward to change a cup of tea, Zhao Jing sat down with Mrs. Xu, and whispered: "Old lady, did you send someone to call sister Xian over?"

Mrs. Xu just nodded her head when she heard this, and said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to tell her not to take sewing classes for now. I will ask the maid to take her to Minghua Academy to sort out, and then come to Gu Ma'am please."

Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, the old lady was really anxious, and she didn't care about the thin-skinned boys, she was already faintly flushed.

Zhao Jing called Lu Wu to come over, and said: "You also go over and have a look, so that the second girl doesn't have to be too nervous, she just came to see a guest."

Xu Xian was taking a sewing class with the girls, but suddenly she was called back to the room by the old lady's maid, and she was picking out another piece of clothing, feeling a little confused in her heart, and when she was frowning, she happened to see Green Wu went over and stepped forward to ask.

"Sister Luwu, the old lady asked me to meet some guests, can I wear this outfit?"

Seeing that the clothes on her body were also newly made, there was nothing disrespectful, but the set of ruby ​​hair on her hair looked a little cumbersome, so she smiled and pushed her to sit down, while combing her hair again , while saying: "The girl will know when she goes, but it doesn't matter if she just meets an ordinary guest."

After hearing this, Xu Xian calmed down a little, but when she thought that no one else called, but only her, she still felt a little uneasy.

In Songhe Hall, however, everyone laughed.Mrs. Xu just fell in love with the boy because of his decent appearance and tall figure, so she didn't care about his homework and character, but Zhao Jing asked casually: "What kind of books do you normally study? There are also three boys in our family, all of whom are studying outside."

Mrs. Gu had inquired about the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion before she came, and she also knew that the old lady is unreliable, and this new lady is the right one. When she saw her asking this question, she smiled and replied: " I just passed the examination of scholar last year, and I will try the rural examination next year, he is young, and I don’t care if he insists on making a name for himself at once, it’s good to just take it as a test.”

Zhao Jing nodded secretly after hearing this, but saw that the child's expression was dissatisfied, obviously determined to win.Fortunately, in ancient times, it was always said to start a family first and then establish a career. Zhao Jing was not afraid that they would delay their marriage because of this.Besides, as long as the marriage is settled, Xu Xian is still young, so if he waits for another two or three years, when he passes the provincial examination and gets married, there will be no delay.

"It's a good thing for a boy to have ambition. It's better to be admitted to fame than to earn a living." When Zhao Jing said this sentence, she missed Xu Si'an again. We can only see each other every day.

Mrs. Gu also said yes, and heard light footsteps outside, and a maid came in to answer, saying that the second girl had come.

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and glanced outside the curtain, only to see a pretty slender figure flashing in from behind the curtain.

Xu Xian raised her head, her face still showing a bit of coquettishness, the girl's voice was like a yellow oriole's first cry, and she saluted everyone crisply.
