The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 51
The kitchen of Puzhao Temple is not big, and it was the first time to welcome so many guests, it was already in a hurry, and no one paid attention to Zhao Jing.Zhao Jing took a white flour steamed bun from the steamer, poured a cup of hot tea on the tea stove outside, found a small corner where few people passed by, and sat on the platform to eat.

At this time, it was around the end of the hour, the sun was not too hot, and it was warm on the body. Zhao Jing ate a mouthful of steamed buns and drank a mouthful of hot tea, feeling her body warmed up.It's just that she really slept too little last night, now that she was exposed to the sun, she felt a little drowsy, and fell asleep holding the steamed bun.

How did Zhao Jing know that there was a line of sight falling on her from the towering bell tower not far away.That gaze was as sharp as a falcon, revealing a bit of inquiry and curiosity.

Seeing that Xu Si'an saw Zhao Jing, Steward Zhou smiled and said, "Master Hou, she is Miss Zhao who was appointed by the Empress Dowager to preside over the funeral for her wife. Although she is thin and small, she is very capable. She handles some trivial matters at home and outside of the house, and she also handles people and guests in person, which saves the old lady a lot of worry."

After Xu Si'an heard this, there was no unnecessary expression on his handsome and tough face, he just turned around and said to Steward Zhou: "Okay, since everything at home has been taken care of, then I will go back to the camp, don't talk to the old man. My wife mentioned that I have been back, so as not to disturb her."

"It's all back, Master Hou really doesn't want to pay a visit to the old lady, I haven't seen her for more than half a year..."

"No, I came back privately this time. If it leaks out, it will be a felony and will be dealt with by military law." Before Steward Zhou finished speaking, he was beaten back by Xu Si'an. The wife can't manage by herself, and Xu Si'an won't rush to make this trip as the front line has won another battle.As for those messy things, that's all, that person is already dead, so it's a face to the dead.

Seeing that Xu Si'an was about to leave, Chang Geng, the entourage who had been standing silently on the other side, became anxious. He only waited for Steward Zhou to go away, and then asked Xu Si'an in a low voice, "Master Hou, so your green hat is white?"

Xu Si'an glanced over with a knife, and Chang Geng was so frightened that he hurriedly folded his head and folded his hands, shrinking his neck like a little rabbit, and said repeatedly: "I won't say anything, I won't say anything, this servant doesn't know anything."

That night, Xu Si'an left in a hurry, and Xu Si'an did not consummate the marriage with Ms. Gu. Ms. Gu must have known about this, but within two months of his expedition, he received a letter from Mrs. Xu, saying that Ms. Gu had Being pregnant, Xu Si'an knew very well what this pregnancy meant, but other people were at the border and could not leave at will, so he had no choice but to let it go.What happened later was also strange, Miss Gu's child was gone, and not long after, someone went too.Xu Si'an was fighting fiercely with the Tartars on the front line again, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these things.

Now that Ms. Gu is dead, there is no evidence for these things, and Xu Si'an doesn't want to bother with the dead anymore. After all, for a woman, the issue of fame is the same before and after her death.

Xu Si'an secretly smiled wryly, with his palms propped on the railing outside the clock tower, he could see the meditation room where Mrs. Xu was in the distance, and the maids and servants at the door kept coming in and out. With so many people serving, Mrs. Xu should pass by. Not too bad.

When Xu Si'an lowered his head again, he saw that the person sitting on the steps not far away had fallen asleep, his body was leaning against the wall, his face was somewhat tired, his skin was white and tender under the sun, as if he could pinch water As before, she still held half a steamed bun in her hand, and put a cup of tea aside, the water in it was already empty.It seems that I am really tired, and I can fall asleep while sitting like this.

Zhao Jing was sleeping comfortably, when suddenly she heard someone calling her, she regained consciousness, dropped half of a steamed bun on the ground, and looked blankly at the person who woke her up.

"Aunt Jing, it's not good, Mrs. Jing Guogong and Mrs. Xu have started arguing."

Arguing?Didn't this just break up?Why did you get together again?

After Zhao Jing heard this, she felt a headache, and she could do anything else. It's really inexperienced to persuade her, but if you don't persuade her, you really don't know what will happen.Zhao Jing hurriedly stood up, sitting on the low platform for a long time, her legs and feet were a little awkward, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and she was about to fall, but fortunately, Xing'er behind her helped her, so she didn't fall fall.

Seeing Zhao Jing's pale face, Xing'er couldn't help asking: "Auntie, are you alright?"

"It's okay, let's go and have a look." Zhao Jing gritted her teeth and insisted, it's the last day, but don't make any fools, she doesn't want to gain a good reputation, she just wants this matter to pass smoothly, She also had better get out of the sea of ​​suffering sooner.

Xu Si'an, who was standing on the bell tower, saw this scene vividly. Seeing that Zhao Jing almost fell down, he felt his heart tighten for no reason. Seeing her straighten her back again, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Chang Geng: " Let's go too."
