The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 445 Hijacking (1)
After Zhao Jing heard this, she immediately complied, and only asked the messenger to wait outside. She wanted to go back to her room and change her clothes.

After Xu Si'an left, Zhao Jing went to Jingci Nunnery once, but Mrs. Zhulei saw that she was pregnant, and she was afraid that running back and forth would disturb her fetal gas, so she refused to let her go.Zhao Jing only learned from Mrs. Zhulei that after she gave birth to Wei Mingzhen, because she didn't want to enter the Wei family, she led her to practice in Jingci Nunnery. This secluded nunnery was arranged by Zhou Yi.

Mrs. Xu knew that Zhao Jing was thinking of her mother, so she had to let her go after all, so she repeated a few words and followed Wei Zhuyun to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras.Zhao Jing went back to her room and changed her clothes. When Xu Si'an left, it was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chrysanthemums in Mingde Hall hadn't bloomed yet, but at this time the chrysanthemums had all withered, and it would be winter in a few days.

Zhao Jing changed into a lotus-colored twig pattern jacket. Although it was newly made according to the size after pregnancy, it was a little tight at this time.Luwu helped her fasten her belt and cloak, and followed her out.

"It's snowing outside!" A little maid's voice came from the corridor.Zhao Jing glanced out the window, and there were indeed snowflakes in the yard.When Lu Wu saw it, she frowned and said, "The weather is weird this year, it's not winter yet, why is it snowing!"

Zhao Jing glanced at her clothes, and she had already changed into a small jacket. Although she had been in a trance recently, fortunately, she hadn't forgotten the rules of the maids, but the cotton jacket she made for Xu Si'an herself was It's not finished yet.It was stuffed with thick cotton, and it was originally intended to be rushed out before winter and sent to the front line.It's a pity that she has been in a bad mood for the past few days, so she did it a little slower.

"Madam, don't rush away, just grab a hand stove before leaving." Lu Wu saw Zhao Jing standing in a daze on the porch, so she hurriedly asked her to go to the tea room to light the hand stove.The weather has been getting colder these days, people like the old lady who can't stand it have already used charcoal fire, but Zhao Jing is very angry with her child, and she is afraid of sweating at night, so she hasn't started using it yet.

Zhao Jing's hands were really a little cold, holding the Nuannuan hand stove in her arms made her whole body a little warmer.

The person who came to deliver the message was a little girl who served Mrs. Zhulei, saying that a hired carriage had arrived.Zhao Jing had met her twice, she was timid, and she usually didn't spend much time.When she saw Zhao Jing coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with red eyes: "The layman is sick, and I want to invite Mrs. Hou to come over."

Zhao Jing was anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "Have you invited a doctor yet?"

The little maid faltered a bit, lowered her head and said: "The layman said that there is no need to ask a doctor, it's just a minor illness."

Zhao Jing was a little worried after hearing this, but luckily she was about to pass, if the condition was serious, she still had to ask a doctor to take a look.

The snow outside started to fall heavily without knowing it, and it was already a vast expanse of whiteness when we left the city.Due to the recent war, the city gates were especially strictly guarded. After questioning at the gate for a long time, they gave up the gate.

The soldiers guarding the city knew that Mrs. Wu'anhou was sitting in the carriage, so they said something special: "Mrs. Xu should be extra careful when going out of the city. A group of rebels haunted the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago."

Zhao Jing didn't say anything after hearing this, she just asked Lu Wu to lift the curtain to thank them, and gave them some wine money.When Xu Si'an left, he left Chang Geng to himself, but today he happened to go to the Ministry of War, so he couldn't come with him.Fortunately, the few nursing homes she brought out today are also good hands. They are tall and big, and they are a bit scary to stand up.

After leaving the city, the carriage ran much faster, but the master driving the carriage knew that Zhao Jing was pregnant, so he deliberately kept his speed.The phoenix outside roared past, through the curtain that was unintentionally blown up by the wind, Zhao Jing frowned with some doubts.

"Master Zhao, this road doesn't seem to be going to Jingci Temple?" Zhao Jing has been in the Hou's mansion for so long, and she is already familiar with everyone in the mansion. The driver surnamed Zhao is from his own family. So her memory is still fresh.

Zhao Jing waited for a while and didn't hear anyone answering from outside, so Lu Wu opened the curtain and said at the top of her voice, "Master Zhao, Madam is asking you something!" Yes, the casual nursing home that followed them just now has disappeared!
The wind outside was so strong that the face of the person who was blown was stiff, Lu Wu hurriedly retracted her body into the carriage, but her eyes were lost for a moment, she turned her head and said to Zhao Jing: "Madam, the car following behind is gone."
