The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 16 Cheese (2)
After Xu Xian heard this, her heart beat again.She doesn't have any special breakfast on weekdays, but when the maids are eating, she goes to the kitchen to get one for her. When it's good, it's steamed buns with porridge. When it's not good, there are only a few dry buns. Yes, although there is no kitchen in the yard where she lives, there is a tea room where hot water is boiled, and it is the same to soak and eat indiscriminately.

Seeing the old lady ask this, Sun Yu'e felt secretly nervous.She didn't let Xu Xian be trampled at the beginning, but none of the servants of the Hou Mansion knew how to read words, even if she didn't speak, those servants saw the old lady's posture towards Xu Xian, so they also trampled her Come on, who would speak for a child born to a whore!
Just when Xu Xian wanted to tell the truth, when she raised her head, she saw Sun Yu'e glaring at her fiercely. She was timid in the first place, but now she didn't dare to speak anymore, she just lowered her head and whispered Said: "The food is almost the same as here, I used to eat more."

This is what Zhao Jing said, even when she heard it, she felt a little distressed. Why is a good lady of the Hou's mansion not as good as a wild way?

Seeing Xu Xian say this, Sun Yu'e only showed a satisfied smile on her face, and raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You eat so much, how come you are still so thin! I don't eat anything all day, so I have more flesh on my body." point."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu didn't look at Xu Xian, but turned her head to look at Sun Yu'e and said, "You are just right, and you are not fat. Girls should be plump."

Looking at this posture, Zhao Jing was not angry that Xu Xian did not dare to tell the truth. After all, she was just a guest, and she was leaving after finishing the funeral of Madam Hou.If Sun Yu'e still bullies her at that time, she has nothing to do, she might as well follow her now, so that there will be less bullying in the future.After trying to understand Xu Xian's thoughts, Zhao Jing felt that this girl was a little more sensible than she appeared on the surface, but being sensible was sensible, and blindly giving in was useless.

After breakfast, Zhao Jing will go to the front to become a director.After Sun Yu'e and Xu Xian left, the old lady looked at the vase of wintersweet flowers on the shelf, and called Zhang's mother who was greeting guests outside.

"Why do you think sister Xian looks more and more like Brother Sheng now?"

The deceased son of the Marquis of Wu'an was named Xu Sisheng, and the old mothers who used to serve Mrs. Xu called him Brother Sheng.As soon as Zhang's mother entered the room, she smelled the aroma of wintersweet inside, and when she looked up, she saw the wintersweet flower in the bottle.He is Xu Sisheng's nanny, seeing this was even more frightening, tears streaming down her face, she covered her lips and asked, "Old lady, did sister Xian give you this?"

The old lady Xu nodded, and said again: "No, Miss Zhao asked Sister Xian to fold it. I don't know why I chose wintersweet flowers." Although there are not many flowers in this season, there are also flowers in the back garden of the Hou Mansion. There are several types of plum blossoms, but Xu Xian chose wintersweet, which cannot be said to be fate.

Zhang's mother also stabilized her mood a little at this moment, she just lowered her head and pressed the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, and said again: "I also see that sister Xian is becoming more and more like Brother Sheng now, old lady, what do you often say about that kind of person?" Accurate, I don't know where the bastard came from, so I said it was Brother Sheng's child, but Brother Sheng went early, and there was no way to verify it, but now the longer it grows, the more it resembles, and the suspicion is less. Didn't the old lady bring her in because she was afraid that Brother Sheng's flesh and blood would be left outside?"

Old Mrs. Xu frowned, nodded and said: "I was only thinking about it back then, but when I saw her, I remembered that kind of person her mother was, and I panicked in my heart. It's so big, and it looks like Brother Sheng, I can't bear it."

When Mama Zhang heard what the old lady said, she really felt like God had opened her eyes, and she couldn't help getting excited, so she just said: "If the old lady has such thoughts, then treat her well, the girl is old, If you want to get married, you can't always let servants point at her back and gossip."

Although the old lady has brought Xu Xian back these years, she has never cared for a word, but she just called the maid to serve her. Those people know that the old lady doesn't like Xu Xian, so how can they serve her wholeheartedly, but they are just vague with.She is also a servant, although she is also an old man in the house, she can't go against the old lady's wishes, so she can only turn a blind eye and take care of her in private.

Mrs. Xu became curious now, and couldn't help asking: "What does the servant say about her gossip?"

If the old lady didn't ask these words, Zhang's mother would not dare to say them. Now the most useful person in front of the old lady is Han's mother. Since Xu Sisheng's death, Zhang's mother took the initiative to retreat to the second line.

But now that the old lady asked, Zhang's mother also told the whole story: "It's not just a matter of Sister Xian's background. I didn't know why it was passed on at the beginning. Now the servant in the house is I don't know what kind of person her biological mother is, no one said it in person, but she said it badly in private."

Although the old lady Xu didn't like Xu Xian, but now she felt that Xu Xian looked like Xu Sisheng, which was equivalent to admitting that Xu Xian was her own daughter, so she ordered: "You are the old mother of the family, and you are a professional woman again. If you are in charge of servants, if you hear a slave chewing your master's tongue like this, you should show the air of a housekeeper's mother and shut down those people, and if you don't listen, you can directly send it to Zhuangzi, and it will be settled once and for all."

Mrs. Xu has been coaxed by Sun Yu'e for the past two years, and she basically doesn't care about the family affairs. How could Mama Zhang expect her to say these words? If you have spoken, then I will really punish some old slaves who are good at gossiping."
