The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 26 Plan (2)
"The second child hasn't written a letter for a while, and I don't know if he's doing well outside. When will this battle be over? A good daughter-in-law, she died after only being together for a long time..." Mrs. Xu thought of this, On the contrary, he felt a little sad again, after all, he was also a member of their Xu family's flesh and blood.

Zhang's mother was just sighing at first, and didn't want to arouse the sadness of the old lady. Seeing her lowered face at this time, she felt that it was her fault. She frowned and thought about it for a long time, but she had an idea in her heart, so she quietly He said to the old lady: "Old lady, I heard that Miss Jing will leave the palace in two months, I don't know if it's true or not?"

The court lady was going to leave the palace, and the courtiers outside naturally didn't know about it, but Zhao Jing's situation was different. She was originally going to leave the palace, so the empress dowager gave her grace to take care of the funeral for Mrs. Hou. Look at the scene outside.Therefore, many people in the Hou Mansion knew about Zhao Jing's going out of the palace.

"Isn't it true? I'm still thinking about it. Miss Jing is smart and capable, and she works in front of the empress dowager and the emperor. Why does she want to come out wholeheartedly? Could it be that there are people out there?"

In fact, in ancient times, at Zhao Jing's age, if she hadn't already had a family, it was really not easy to find one. At the age of 25, she was the mother of several children. I'm afraid I still dislike her for being too old to give birth!

"I've never heard of this." Zhang's mother paused, with a slightly lost face, and said: "If there is someone else, then this matter is not easy to mention."

"What kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd? Why don't you tell me quickly?" The old lady was impatient, and when she saw that she had finished speaking, she hurriedly asked.

Mother Zhang smiled and said: "I have seen that Miss Jing has been in charge of our family for more than a month. The whole family is much more disciplined than before. She is really a good housekeeper. I heard that someone from the palace came out. The experienced old nuns go to rich families to tell the rules to the ladies. I see that the eldest girl and the second girl are not too young now. Is the old lady also thinking about hiring a gentleman to learn some things for them? rule?"

Ms. Zhang has been secretly observing her for so many years. The old lady really likes Sun Yu'e and treats her as her own granddaughter sincerely. Then she will definitely find a good family for her in the future.Under the banner of the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, even if she can't marry into a wealthy family, the regular wife of an ordinary small official's family can't escape.In this case, Sun Yu'e's rules must be learned carefully.Now that Mrs. Xu values ​​Zhao Jing so much, if she can keep Zhao Jing, firstly, she will be able to frustrate Sun Yu'e; secondly, with Zhao Jing's protection, Sun Yu'e will not dare to bully sister Xian too much.

After hearing this, the old lady felt a little moved in her heart, but Zhao Jing saw that she looked so noble and out of the world, asking her to be a lady in the house, old lady Xu was afraid that she would not agree!

"It's a good idea, but I don't know if Miss Jing is willing or not?" The old lady frowned. At her age, it's fine if she doesn't open her mouth.

Seeing the old lady like this, Zhang's mother smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady. I heard from outside that if the aunts who come out of this palace want to find work, they all go to a place called Wake Moon Tower. We will go there From time to time, we will send someone to inquire, if Miss Jing really goes there to place an order to find a job, we will invite her in the next post, and it will save you embarrassment, old lady."

Xingyuelou is a teahouse, which was opened by an aunt who came out of the palace. Although the business is good now, she still thinks about the girls in the palace who have encountered the same as herself. Yes, register with her. With her network and knowledge, she can always introduce a good place to the other party. Over time, some dignitaries who want to invite aunts in the palace to go home will go back to her in advance to find out. Some aunts will come out from the palace in time, and it will be easy to post a post to invite them at that time.

Although Zhao Jing knew about this place, she hadn't thought of this step yet. Right now, just waiting to get out of the palace is the top priority. As for how to live in the future, she will have a lot of time when she gets out of the palace. I can think about it.

In fact, think about it, the life of a court lady is pitiful enough.When I was in the palace, every step of the way was frightened, and my heart was trembling.She is getting older after leaving the palace, if she can't get married, she can only stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of her life.Although this is nothing to Zhao Jing, she must also be mentally prepared to be brainwashed to get married every day.

Zhao Jing turned over on the bed, but still couldn't sleep. Although the dinner was not served by the old lady, most of the dishes delivered were meat dishes, and Zhao Jing didn't have much appetite.Is it because she is too thin, and the old lady is afraid that her body will not be strong?You can't handle Madam Hou's funeral, so you want to make it up for yourself?
