The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 27
Although she didn't sleep well, Zhao Jing got up early the next morning as usual.This damn biological clock really made Zhao Jing feel helpless.Rubbing her swollen brain, after Zhao Jing washed up in the room, Mrs. Xu sent someone to invite her again.

Zhao Jing originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that last night had passed, the woman in the kitchen brought a large table of dishes over in the snow. He chewed his tongue, saying that she was from the palace, so she was taking medicine in front of the old lady!

Zhao Jing glanced at the woman indifferently, and her eyes just happened to sweep over her shoe, the woman hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, the two women who swept the snow yesterday have been dismissed, and the ones who were on the road this morning The snow has been swept away to ensure that the girl's embroidered shoes will not be wet."

Zhao Jing wanted to laugh when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong, could it be that the two women were tied up and left yesterday because they didn't sweep the snow cleanly?When she said yesterday that she was rewarding the boards, she was just trying to frighten them. It is possible that someone passed her words to Old Madam Xu's ears.

It's just... for this reason alone, she tied up people and sent them to Zhuangzi. The old lady Xu looked very friendly. Could it be that there was some blood in her bones?
Zhao Jing still finds it unbelievable when she thinks of this, she has been here for more than a month, if she hasn't figured out Mrs Xu's temperament for more than a month, then she has moved her head many times in the past ten years in the palace .But...Since the servant said so, she had no choice but to follow suit: "I'll walk more carefully, so I won't get wet. It's hard for my mother to think about it."

All the way from the front yard to Songhe Hall, the snow on the road was much cleaner than yesterday, probably because the servants really thought that the two women were driven to the Zhuangzi because the snow was not cleaned.

When Zhao Jing came to the door, she heard Sun Yu'e acting like a baby in front of Mrs. Xu with cloyingly sweet words.Although Sun Yu'e was a little girl, her voice was a little dark and hoarse, and her coquettish voice made people feel a little tingling, but Mrs. Xu was probably used to it, so she didn't feel anything.

"Old lady, what did Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ding do wrong? Are you going to drive them to Zhuangzi?" Sun Yu'e asked Mrs. Xu pretending to be innocent.

Although the old lady Xu didn't take this matter to heart, she always regarded Sun Yu'e as a child, so she didn't want to tell her about it, she just smiled and said: "The two of them are not good at doing things, I asked Mama Zhang to replace her with a good one. Come on, they are not from your yard, so you are taking care of them?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xu refused to tell the truth in front of her, Sun Yu'e secretly felt that Mrs. Xu had begun to behave herself, so she said again: "I don't bother to care about them. It's just that when my grandmother went back to her hometown, she made a special confession. After that, I said that although Pozi Ma and Pozi Ding are not good at doing things, they have been in the Hou's Mansion for some years after all, and they are living in the Hou's Mansion with their families. We can't just kick them out because of a little thing."

When Mrs. Xu heard that Sun Yu'e mentioned Mama Sun, she was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Mama Sun was really kind when she was the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. Let her stay, but she still reasoned that she would go back to her hometown when she was old.

The old lady asked: "Then if Mama Sun is around, how do you usually punish people?"

As soon as Sun Yu'e heard that there was something going on, she hurriedly said: "Usually, you will be beaten and fined for one month's money. It's not like you're going to kick someone out every now and then."

Mother Zhang was waiting on the side, and she sighed again in her heart after hearing this. Although Mrs. Xu was kind, she was notoriously soft-eared. If you are soft, you will release those two wives again!In this way, she will lose her majesty among the servants in the future. How can she restrain anyone in the future!
Mama Zhang was jumping up and down anxiously, but Mama Han beside her was smiling all over her face, and was about to open her mouth to play a few words, when suddenly the curtain flashed, and Zhao Jing, as if she had fallen from the sky, had already entered Songhetang's room.

Mother Zhang hurriedly greeted Zhao Jing, took the cloak that the little maid had untied for Zhao Jing, and said with a smile: "Miss Jing is here, it's very windy outside, and the snow in the yard has been swept away today. "

Zhao Jing walked slowly, and when she was dispersing the cold air in the Baosha, she heard the words inside. She originally thought that if the two women were kicked out because they didn't clean up the snow, it would be a bit wronged.But if he was kicked out for gossiping about his master in private, he deserved it.Such a noble family of the Hou family is most afraid of those servants who have dirty words and gossips, and spread out the scandals that were originally hidden in the house.
