The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 94 Visiting Mother (1)
Zhao Han went to Bowentang with a lot of worries, but it was almost too late.

Zhao Qing was looking down at something, when he heard Zhao Han's footsteps, he raised his head and smiled at him.

Zhao Han pulled out a forced smile and sat down in his seat.

The two brothers are five years apart, so the things they learn are naturally different, because Zhao Qing is going to take the college exam in April, and the husband simply gave Zhao Han some recitation and reciting homework, and then focused on Zhao Qing. Ask him to make a fuss about the topic.

In the study next door, Zhao Yunting was rarely free, so he took a copy of Miscellaneous Notes on Customs and Folklore from the south of the Yangtze River and read it.

The sun was getting higher and higher, the morning class was over, the teacher packed up his things and went to his small courtyard in the Hou Mansion, and Zhao Qing and his brothers went to the small study here to find their father with their books.

Zhao Yunting's most important child is of course the eldest son. The years when the eldest son was a child were also the happiest years in his life. The official fortune was prosperous when he was young and promising. In time, he will become a great success. When he returns home, he loves his wife and loves his son. Even if his wife treats him coldly, He was also very satisfied. In his free time, he took his son to ride horses and shoot arrows, and taught him various skills.

As for Zhao Qing and Zhao Han, Zhao Yunting felt that he was more like a gentleman to them.The blood relationship made it impossible for him to ignore them, and the two aunts made it impossible for him to like his eldest son from the bottom of his heart, so he could only fulfill the part of a father's responsibility to raise them as adults, and arranged for safe servants to take good care of them. Their food and daily life, when they have time to check the schoolwork of the two children, teach some principles of life, and there is no more intimate behavior.

Half an hour before lunch, Zhao Yunting took a test on Zhao Qing's question first, and Zhao Qing talked eloquently and answered the questions fluently.Zhao Yunting nodded, turned his head to get Zhao Han's book, and said casually: "Chengwen, let's go to your grandmother first."

Zhao Qing was stunned.

In the past, he waited for his father to test his younger brother, and then the father and son went there together.

Is it because the third brother went to Weifang Garden in the morning?

Zhao Qing calmly glanced at the third younger brother beside him who was also astonished, and left after saluting without asking any further questions.

The sound of footsteps disappeared, and there was only the sound of flipping books in the room, and Zhao Han's palms gradually began to sweat.He knew that his father must be asking him what he did in Weifang Garden, right?Even he once suspected that his mother was trying to trick him by pretending to be sick so that he could continue the conversation last time, let alone his father?

Zhao Yunting did ask. After checking Zhao Han's homework, he looked at the book with a calm expression, "What did the doctor say?" He didn't name or even mention Qin, let alone reveal a little cared.

Zhao Han couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart. He repeated the doctor's words with his lowered eyes, and finally said: "Father, my mother is seriously ill. I want to visit her after school in the evening." He couldn't be indifferent.

Zhao Yunting put down the book, looked at his ten-year-old son, and thought that he was actually far more sensible than children of the same age, so he agreed, "Go, but you know how she trusts you, no matter what she tells you, you should take care of yourself." Think about it. Cheng An, you are the flesh and blood of the Zhao family, you must put the entire Zhao family at the forefront when considering everything, don't let me down on you."

"Follow father's instruction." Zhao Han solemnly promised.

That's right, his surname is Zhao. No matter how much his father disliked his mother, he also raised him. He didn't deny him because of the blood of the Qin family in him.

Entering March, the wind blowing on the face is obviously warmer, and Ah Ju finally has symptoms of morning sickness.

Fortunately, it's not particularly serious, but I can't see too greasy dishes.

Perhaps the symptoms were mild, but instead of feeling uncomfortable, Ah Ju was quite happy.Before, she only knew that she was pregnant, but she didn't feel any strange in her body. Now that she has morning sickness, she suddenly has that sense of reality, as if this is a unique way for a child to talk to her, and her child is telling her what he doesn't like .

Ah Ju told Nanny Jiang this, but Nanny Jiang laughed kindly.

This day, when the sun was high and the weather was warm, Aju was walking in Wangzhuxuan accompanied by Mammy Jiang.

Wangzhuxuan is quite big, with rockery, ponds and wooden bridges in the back garden, weeping willows by the pool are fresh and green, and a small peach grove in the northwest corner is in full bloom. Ah Ju likes to walk here very much.After walking for a while, the master and servant rested on the bench by the pool, talking leisurely.

Footsteps sounded suddenly in the distance, Ah Ju looked over curiously, and saw Cuiyu walking over beamingly, and when she got close, she said crisply: "Grandma, the uncle has a letter, one is delivered to Madam, and one is sent to Madam Chen Shou." Delivered it over. Hmph, I told him whether he would give it or not, saying that it was ordered by the uncle, and must be handed over to you personally!"

Ah Ju had already stood up happily, and couldn't help but wanted to go forward. Mother Jiang smiled and supported her, pushed her back on the chair and said, "Just let Chen Shou come here to answer, what are you in a hurry for?" She looks like everyone's girls, but when encountering troubles, she is still not used to ordering her servants around.

Ah Ju also felt that Chen Shoulai's side might be faster, after all, she didn't dare to leave now.

Cuiyu had already gone to lead people smartly, and when she reached the gate in front of the courtyard, she saw Chen Shou standing there in a gray spring shirt with a tall and straight figure, Cuiyu took another look, then walked over, and said loudly: "Chen Shou Manager, Madam asked you to give me the letter, and you can go back directly."

Chen Shou turned around and looked at her calmly with his slender eyes.

He didn't say a word, Cuiyu felt guilty inexplicably, glared at this lumpy person, turned around and led the way: "Just now I was teasing you, now come with me, don't keep Madam waiting for a long time." Chen Ping is eloquent , I can also joke, isn't this person his brother, why doesn't he have the same temper at all?

The two soon reached the edge of the pool, Cuiyu quickly walked to Aju's side and stood there, Chen Shougong saluted respectfully, and handed over the envelope hidden in his arms.Cuiyu stepped forward to take it for Ah Ju, and handed it over to Ah Ju.

Resisting the urge to read the letter right away, Aju first thanked Chen Shou for her hard work, and then asked Mother Jiang to go back with Chen Shou, so that Chen Shou could send the reply she had written long ago.Mammy Jiang knew where her letters were, and immediately led Chen Shou away.Ah Ju watched them go away, quickly lowered her head and tore open the envelope, just about to take out the letter paper, suddenly thought of something, pointed to the pond and said to Cuiyu: "Go over there to see the fish, the red carp inside is very beautiful."

Cuiyu looked at the peach blossom-faced grandma, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go over there to watch the fish, don't disturb grandma to read the letter!" After speaking, she walked briskly to the edge of the pond, and looked down at the fish.

Among the four maids, Cuiyu is the liveliest and the most daring to joke with Ah Ju, and Ah Ju also likes to have such a maid by her side.After staring at Cuiyu's back for a while, Ah Ju finally took out the letter paper. There were three pages in total, which was not too little.

Ah Ju read the familiar handwriting word by word.

The letter said that Zhao Chen and the others had already arrived at the Mulan paddock, and he wrote to her as soon as the residence was settled.

One page is about what I saw on the road, the other page is all kinds of exhortations to her, and the last page is full of misses, and there are some shameful words about him dreaming of "leading troops to fight" every night.But no matter how embarrassing she was, Aju still blushed and read it several times. In the end, Mammy Jiang left and returned, so Aju hurriedly put away the letter, planning to read it when she was alone at night.

When Ning Shi came here at noon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had dinner together, and after eating, they sat on the kang and talked about Zhao Chen's letter, talking about Ah Ju getting sleepy, and Ning Shi watched her fall asleep before leaving.

I was happy, Ah Ju slept very soundly during this afternoon nap, and when I woke up, I didn't feel uncomfortable like before.

After reading the letter again, Zhao Yi came over.

Ah Ju quickly hid the letter, smiled and asked Zhao Yi to sit on the kang.The ten-year-old girl is as watery as a flower bone, and her smiling eyes are bright and gratifying. Ever since she knew that Aju was pregnant, Zhao Yi began to draw and send Aju every day. Show it to your future nephew.

She drew in Wangzhuxuan, and she used all the pens and paper prepared by Mammy Jiang.

In private, Mother Jiang said to Ah Ju: "Master Hou has really put his heart into the three little masters. The two masters don't talk about it, but the nurse of the fourth girl, Mrs. Fang, is very careful. Look, grandma is pregnant now. The fourth girl didn't say that she couldn't justify it, let's send something, food and use are easy to cause trouble, now come here to paint, not only to pass the time with grandma, but also to avoid grandma's suspicion, this kind of intimacy method, the fourth girl can't think of it now .”

Ah Ju didn't think about it that much at the beginning, but after hearing Mammy Jiang's words, she couldn't help feeling all the twists and turns in the mansion, and understood why Zhao Yi was so sensible at such a young age.Fang is careful, if Zhao Yi does something wrong or if there is something wrong around her, Fang will definitely remind her, if there are too many times, Zhao Yi will learn it?It's not like her, when she was ten years old, she played mud with her younger brother, of course it was only at home.

"What is my sister going to draw today?"

Ah Ju sat down beside Zhao Yi with a smile, looked at the rice paper spread on the table and asked.The younger sister at home likes to appreciate paintings, and Ah Ju also has some insights into paintings. Zhao Yi's current paintings can only be regarded as children's casual works.

Zhao Yi smiled mysteriously: "Sister-in-law guess for yourself, you can guess how well I draw." After finishing speaking, he laid out another paper, pressed it with a paperweight, and started to draw with all his heart.

She first drew the vegetation, followed by a few strokes, outlining the body line of a small animal.

Ah Ju laughed, "This is Yoyo, right?" Zhao Yi also liked Yoyo very much. According to Cuiyu, Zhao Yi often took the maid to watch two deer in the yard.

"Sister-in-law is really smart." Zhao Yi boasted without raising his head, still thinking about drawing.

Ah Ju didn't bother her, and watched her painting quietly. After finishing the painting, she asked Mother Jiang to put away this painting together with Zhao Yi's previous ones. In the future, when the child is born, he can teach him to recognize the painting. thing.

An afternoon passed by like this, Zhao Yi was going to the Rongshou Hall, and Ah Ju followed.Even though she doesn't need to watch every morning and evening, there are still several months until the baby is born, so she can't stay in Wangzhuxuan all the time and see no one.Now that Mrs. Qin is bedridden, she will go to the Rongshou Hall, not afraid of any accidents.

She is so sensible, Mrs. Tai is quite satisfied, she asked about Ah Ju's health, and did not leave her to eat in Rongshoutang, but let her look back at Zhuxuan to eat in the small kitchen, so that everyone can feel at ease.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Yi and Zhao Han went to Weifang Garden to pay their respects to Mrs. Qin after having dinner at Rongshoutang.

Qin's illness has not been cured.

Zhao Han lost a lot of weight.Zhao Yi has a good relationship with his two elder brothers, and he didn't ignore Zhao Han just because he was close to his elder brother, so she suggested in a low voice on the way: "Third brother, my mother has been ill for so long, and the condition is not gone at all. Okay, why don't you tell your mother about it, and try another doctor?"
