The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 425 Departure (1)
When Zhao Jing returned to Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, she heard the people on the gate reply that Xu Si'an had returned.

It was neither early nor late at this time, and I don't know why he came back.Zhao Jing went back to Mingde Hall and changed her clothes before going to Songhe Hall.The girls had just had classes all morning, and they were all joking and joking in the old lady's room at this time.

Before Zhao Jing entered the door, she heard Sun Yu'e say: "A few days ago, the ancestor said that he would go to Jing Ci Temple to thank Lay Wei for the good matchmaker he gave to his second sister. Why didn't he mention it these few days?"

Mrs. Xu smiled when she heard the words: "I want to go there on the first day of next month, so as to save an extra trip. Now that your adoptive mother is pregnant, wouldn't it be hard work to run back and forth like this."

After hearing this, Sun Yu'e didn't say a word. When she saw the servant girl brought tea, she carefully served tea to the old lady.The old lady Xu took the tea, looked up and saw Xu Si'an sitting at the lower seat, with a calm expression and didn't know what she was thinking, so she raised her chin towards Sun Yu'e and said, "Go and serve tea to your adoptive father."

Sun Yu'e was still a little afraid of Xu Si'an in her heart, took the tea cup from the tea tray, walked up to Xu Si'an, and whispered: "Father, please drink tea."

Xu Si'an then turned his head, glanced at Sun Yu'e's face, took a casual sip of tea.Sun Yu'e breathed a sigh of relief, and when she turned around, she saw Zhao Jing coming in from the door.

"How is the Eldest Princess?" Mrs. Xu asked about this when she saw Zhao Jing. Although she was not familiar with the Eldest Princess Xiaoyi, she felt a little pitiful when she thought of getting such a disease at such a young age. of.

"I haven't seen anyone, but I heard Concubine Gong say a few words, saying that it's not very good. I think it's not a day or two for her to get sick." Zhao Jing saw Xu Si'an sitting at the side, seeing her When he came in, his eyes seemed to light up a little, and there was only a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Jing felt a little hot for no reason, sat down under Xu Si'an's hands and said: "Just now I heard the old lady talk about going to Jingci Temple, it will be uncle's birthday in a few days, why don't you invite Jushi Wei over here , do a good ritual for uncle at the mansion?"

The old lady only nodded in agreement when she heard the words, but Sun Yu'e's expression on the side was a little strange. She twisted her hand holding the handkerchief in her sleeve a few times, bit her lip and said, "Second sister and Cousin Hui have both been to Jingci nunnery. I've never been there alone, and I don't know what it's like outside."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu only smiled and said: "I really thought you were going to pray to the Bodhisattva! You wanted to go out to play, that's right... Both of them have been there, but you haven't. I'll take you there too, and I'll personally invite Layman Wei to come over."

Seeing that the old lady was so interested, Zhao Jing couldn't bear to refute her intention after all, so she also agreed with a smile.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Jing started sewing under the lamp, Xu Si'an washed up and went to bed, flipping through the book of war in his hand in boredom.Zhao Jing raised her head, watched the pages of the book slide by Xu Si'an's fingertips, and said with a smile, "Just tell me what you have, why bother with that book?"

Xu Si'an smiled when he heard the words, simply got up from the bed, walked up to Zhao Jing with his hands behind his back, and lowered his head to look at her steadfastly.

"Yesterday, the prince came to the barracks. What the prince means is that he has gone to Jiangnan this time, so he doesn't plan to come back."

Zhao Jing suddenly felt a pain in her fingertips, and when she regained consciousness, there was a bean-sized blood-red spot on the moon-white fabric.Xu Si'an frowned, squatted down, held Zhao Jing's finger on his lips, and sucked lightly.

Zhao Jing then said in a daze: "My lord can't come back, what do you mean?"

Xu Si'an let go of Zhao Jing's fingers, and saw that the blood was no longer coming out from the top, so he said: "The prince said that the emperor is getting older, and it's time for him to take charge of the government himself. He is also tired all these years and wants to find a place... ..."

"The lord really said that?" Zhao Jing raised her head, there were tears in her gentle brows, she finally lowered her eyelids, compared with the hair with a needle and thread, and said lightly: "That's all." , if he can find a good place for himself, it may not be a bad thing, and if he is in such a position, if he is in love with power, he may not be able to get any benefits in the future."

When Xu Si'an saw that Zhao Jing had said such honest but sincere words, he couldn't help but feel a little sighed, and sighed: "The prince has his own reasons, but...he said that before he left, he still wanted to See you soon."

Zhao Jing was startled again by these words. Seeing that the embroidery needle was about to poke her fingertips again, Xu Si'an stopped her and said, "It's getting late, let's rest early."
