The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 32
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately became sluggish. She was thinking about the old sister just now, but she didn't think of this level. The dead person is still lying at home. Could it be that she is going to visit relatives?The old lady Xu suddenly became embarrassed, and she just smiled awkwardly: "Then I'd better trouble Miss Jing to take Mama Zhang, and Mama Han and I will cook at home."

Seeing that Mrs. Xu had been persuaded, Zhao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. The sun was already high outside, so she got up and said goodbye, "Then I'll go to the front first." After Zhao Jing finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Mama again. After taking a look, he continued: "Mother Zhang, come with me, I still have some things to ask you."

Ms. Zhang kept saying she didn't dare, and after blessing her body with the old lady, she followed Zhao Jing out.

After arriving at the gate of Songhe Hall, Mother Zhang said to Zhao Jing with some embarrassment: "Miss Jing, I don't know the family temple very well. When you first came last time, it was Mother Han who first went there to arrange I'll go as soon as I go, I'm afraid it will drag you down."

Seeing that she was so cautious, Zhao Jing smiled. She had the emperor's order, so she expected that those servants would not even wink at her.The reason why Zhao Jing wanted to bring Mama Zhang by her side was because she wanted to inquire about a few things casually. Although she didn't gossip, she still had a bit of curiosity at the very least.

"The second girl's life experience, I also heard the chatter of the old lady in your house yesterday, but I still don't understand why the old lady likes the eldest girl so much. It is said that the second girl is the granddaughter of the old lady. I It looks strange to an outsider, but if people outside know it, it will be even more strange."

In fact, Zhao Jing also vaguely knew about this matter, saying that Sun Yu'e's father died for Lord Hou, that's why the old lady insisted that Lord Hou recognize his adopted daughter, but no matter how much, Zhao Jing didn't know.But Mrs. Xu loves Sun Yu'e so much, it should be because she was very close before she recognized her adopted daughter.

"The girl just came here not long ago, so naturally I don't know the reason. Our old lady and the eldest girl's grandmother, Mama Sun, have been good sisters since childhood. Our old lady's parents died early, and they lived in Mama Sun's house since childhood. It was only then that I got to know the old Hou Ye. At that time, the old Hou Ye was just a soldier of the late emperor. After consummating the house with the old lady, he went to war. Until the old lady gave birth to Brother Sheng, the old Hou Ye built another After entering the mansion, the old lady was taken over. But who knew that not long after Lord Hou took the old lady over, the army attacked Mama Sun's hometown. Mama Sun's family died, and Mama Sun escaped It was in trouble. The old lady begged Master Hou to rescue Mama Sun. Later, Master Hou introduced one of his lieutenant generals to Mama Sun. The lieutenant general died a few years later, and Mama Sun took three The child has been living in the Hou Mansion."

When Zhao Jing heard this, she slightly understood that although the old lady Xu was not very smart, she was actually a kind person, and she always remembered the kindness of taking her in back then.That's why being able to treat Mama Sun's granddaughter as her own is actually a kind of repayment.It's just... Because such a girl is actually far away from her own granddaughter, Zhao Jing somehow feels that it's not worth it.

Seeing Zhao Jing shaking her head lightly, Mother Zhang asked curiously, "Miss Jing, don't you believe what I say, old lady?"

Zhao Jing smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that there are not many people like the old lady who know how to repay her kindness."

After hearing this, Mother Zhang sighed again: "The old lady has many ways to repay her kindness, but now that she has been spoiled so much, I'm afraid she will be harmed instead in the future!"

Zhao Jing heard Zhang's mother's words, but she had some knowledge. Although she didn't say much, but every sentence made sense, she asked her again: "You said that you were rewarded by the first emperor when the old Hou Ye established the mansion. He is also a servant of a big family, right? No wonder he understands these principles."

When Zhang's mother heard this, she immediately felt like a confidant, she nodded hurriedly and said: "Many of the elderly servants in the mansion are all left by the Jin'anhou family from the previous dynasty. Anhou Mansion."

Zhao Jing knew it already, and it was no wonder that Mama Zhang couldn't compete with Mama Han. The servants like them who worked in big families respected the most rules, and they couldn't exceed them everywhere. But in the current Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, there are no rules at all. She is an old mother, although she knows the rules, but Mrs. Xu doesn't give her a chance to stand up, so she can only turn a blind eye.

However, these things seem to have nothing to do with her. Zhao Jing finally sighed in her heart. It seems that it is difficult for Mrs. Xu to like Sun Yu'e. Her biological mother indeed had such a life experience.

"Mother Zhang, the second girl looks pitiful. You have loved her secretly all these years, right?" A servant from a rich family like Mama Zhang knows how to do things well. If she helps Xu Xian openly, I'm afraid The more people like Sun Yu'e don't like her, now Zhao Jing sees that although Xu Xian is not doing well, she doesn't look too pitiful to be bullied. It must be due to this person.

Zhang's mother felt a little comforted when she got the compliment, but when she thought that Xu Xian would still be pitiful in the future, she couldn't help shedding tears: "In fact, although Mrs. Hou is not favored by the old lady, she is very kind to sister Xian. of."
