The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 28
What's more... the two women gossip about Xu Xian yesterday, it is a real thing, apart from hearing these, Zhao Jing also heard other women gossiping about Mrs. Hou.Thinking of this, Zhao Jing's heart tightened. Mrs. Hou has not been buried yet. If this kind of gossip is spread, the Marquis of Wu'an will lose face.

At this time, it is true that the two women should be dealt with to serve as a warning to the monkeys. It is best to let the subordinates know that the two women were driven to the Zhuangzi not because the snow was not clean, but because Because I said something I shouldn't have said.

"It's true that the snow has been swept much cleaner than yesterday, but just because of this, it's a bit unreasonable to drive the two women down. No matter how strict the rules of the Hou Mansion are, it's hard to be more strict than the palace, old lady It's too flattering to me, if it's because they offended me, it wouldn't be like that."

Zhao Jing spoke like a spring breeze, and her mellow voice made people feel at ease.

Sun Yu'e, who was on the side, saw Zhao Jing coming in, and she had already stopped talking. She is not so well-mannered yet, and she can give Zhao Jing a smile after being repaired by Zhao Jing yesterday.On the contrary, Mother Han's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Zhao Jing say that, she just smiled and said to Mrs Xu: "Old lady, you see that even Miss Jing said that! Just spare those two wives Let’s just beat them a few times and fine them two months’ money?”

The old lady was a little moved at first, but after listening to Zhao Jing's words, coupled with Han's mother's push, she was about to agree in an instant, but Zhao Jing suddenly said: "It's just... if it's for For other things, let alone driving them to Zhuangzi, even selling them directly, there is nothing wrong with that."

Today is considered not too bad luck, Xu Xian has not come here yet, if she repeats what happened yesterday in front of her little cabbage, Zhao Jing might not be able to bear it.But since she was not there, Zhao Jing didn't have to worry so much, and just told Mrs. Xu what she had heard when she passed the garden yesterday and heard the two women gossip.

"If you don't sweep the snow cleanly in the palace, it's just a slap in the face, but if you dare to talk about the master, it's a matter of losing your head. Old lady, do you think I'm right? Those two slaves were sold directly. It's not an exaggeration, the old lady is kind enough to let them stay in the house, but they are just sent to Zhuangzi, speaking of it, the punishment is indeed a bit lighter."

Mother Han was still laughing inwardly at first, thinking that Zhao Jing could help her with great difficulty, she was so dumbstruck that she couldn't even blink her eyes after hearing this.Mother Zhang at the side finally came to her senses at this time, she only smiled and said: "Miss Jing laughed, our old lady is famous for her kindness, so the servants below have also become frivolous, so I only sent out yesterday. It was ruthless once, and I thought about rectifying it properly."

Now even Mrs. Xu understood that what Zhao Jing said at the beginning was not for pleading, but she knew about those two old slaves yesterday, but she just kept it in her heart and didn't I just mentioned it to myself.

Zhao Jing was sent from the palace, Mrs. Xu treated her kindly everywhere, for fear that she would feel disrespectful if she didn't do well enough, but she didn't expect that the servants at home would actually do such a thing in front of her Come on, now Mrs. Xu felt that she had lost face completely. Before Mother Han could intervene, she became angry from embarrassment: "Those two wives are too much, so send them away today, far away, Go to Zhuangzi elsewhere."

Sun Yu'e sat on the side, twisting her handkerchief anxiously, and gave Han's mother a wink, and Han's mother only lowered her head and shook her head slightly at her.Sun Yu'e was so angry that her blood was churning, her teeth were biting her lips, and she squinted at Zhao Jing, taking her more and more like a thorn in her side.

Just in time, the little maid outside pulled the curtain and came in and said, "Second Miss is here."

Xu Xian followed the rules and went to the mourning hall ahead. When Zhao Jing went out, she sent a message to the little maid, asking her to come to Songhe Hall for breakfast today.Zhao Jing felt that to improve the relationship between Xu Xian and Mrs. Xu, it was not enough for one of them to change. Although she couldn't help this little girl for a long time, she also hoped that after she left, she would The days in Hou's mansion will not be too sad.

Xu Xian's small figure came in from outside the curtain, it was still cold outside after the snow had cleared up, her face was flushed red from the cold, she came in and bowed to the old lady in a polite manner.When she saw Zhao Jing again, complex emotions flashed in her eyes. She really liked Zhao Jing, but she was not from the Hou family after all, so she couldn't be her backer. When she left in the future, who would she count on? Woolen cloth?

"Greetings to Aunt Jing." Xu Xian leaned towards Zhao Jingfu, her cheeks flushed even redder than before.
