The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 57 Rumors (2)
"It's a pity that he had something to do in the camp, so he left in the blink of an eye, otherwise I would have asked him to thank you!" Mrs. Xu said while pulling Zhao Jing to sit down, and Zhao Jing took another seat for her Sitting up, she beckoned Xing'er to come forward, took the ledger she was holding, handed it to the old lady and said: "Old lady, this is the ledger from this time, it contains two items of revenue and expenditure, I It's all settled, and now there is still a surplus of 3000 taels of silver. I gave the money to Zhang's mother and locked it in the account room. This is the account book. You keep it. When Master Hou returns, give it to him and see how he handles it. Bar."

Now that the trouble is like this, Zhao Jing feels that Marquis Wu'an may not want this money, but it is always good to give these to Mrs. Xu first.

Although Mrs. Xu was not smart, but seeing what Zhao Jing said so clearly, she also reacted and asked, "Miss Jing is leaving now? Why don't you stay for a few more days and recuperate..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, Zhao Jing lowered her head and smiled, and said to the old lady: "Thank you for your kindness, but I was originally here to help in the palace. Now that the matter is over, naturally I have to go back to the palace to answer. The emperor and the queen mother The empress is also waiting."

Seeing what she said, Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then you can go back. It's just that if you leave the palace in the future, you often come to our house for a sit down."

Zhang's mother was standing aside at this time, seeing that the old lady had not asked Zhao Jing to stay at this time, she was anxious to wink at her.Mrs. Xu raised her head and happened to see it, and her heart was a little moved, but when she raised her head and looked at Zhao Jing again, she felt that she still couldn't speak.No matter how you look at it, this girl Jing is not like someone like them can invite.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu retreated, Mama Zhang felt disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "What the old lady said is, Ms. Jing should come to the house more often when you have time."

Zhao Jing didn't expect that Mrs. Xu's inner struggles were contained in these few short sentences, so she smiled and said, "I'll definitely come when I'm free."

After leaving Songhe Hall, Zhao Jing went back to her small courtyard. The little eunuch and maid who came out of the palace with her had already packed their luggage, the sun was shining outside, and the moment Zhao Jing saw the plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom.She has lived here for quite a while, and only found out a while ago that this was Xu Si'an's study room when he was young.

"Auntie, the carriage is ready outside." Seeing Zhao Jing standing still, Xing'er stood beside her to remind her.Only then did Zhao Jing turn her head, took the cloak in her hand and put it on, and looked back at the wintersweet, it was so lush, and the whole yard was fragrant.

In fact, Zhao Jing's heart is also a little bit drummed. This matter has become like this, the empress dowager may have wanted to call herself into the palace to ask a few questions, but she herself is still in a state of half-knowledge, and she is afraid that if she doesn't speak well, she will offend the empress dowager. The empress is angry.Zhao Jing sighed, for herself, for Marquis Wu An, and for the one who died as Mrs. Hou... But now it's time to change her name to Miss Gu.

Zhao Jing entered the palace in a hurry, changed a piece of clothes under her, and then hurriedly went to Yongshou Palace to reply. Along the way, she saw the maids and eunuchs who were all silent. They hadn't been in the palace for a few days. Jing felt a little strange here.

When walking to the entrance of Yongshou Palace, suddenly a somewhat familiar figure came out of the palace gate, wearing a big fur cloak with green bamboo leaves inlaid with golden silk and flying phoenix pattern, saw Zhao Jing, and snorted coldly at her.

Zhao Jing secretly slandered, this Mrs. Jing Guogong's body is really strong, she has been alive and well in just a few days, it's hard for her to have a cold, and she has kept it for several days!
Seeing the approaching person, Zhao Jing lowered her head and bowed her knees, and only waited for her to pass by before she stood up, and happened to see the maid who sent Mrs. Jing Guogong out not far away, so she pulled her and asked: "What is Mrs. Jing Guo doing in the palace? Do you know?"

The court lady Yuan had a good relationship with Zhao Jing, and she didn't hide it from her, so she whispered to her: "You didn't know it until you came back. His military power has been released and returned to Beijing!"

Zhao Jing secretly speculated that the Marquis of Wu'an had just won the battle, and the imperial court had not rewarded him, so how could he convict him?Jing Guogong might not be able to fulfill his wish this time.Could it be that the previous dynasty couldn't handle it, so they sent Mrs. Jing Guogong to blow the Queen Mother's ears?
Zhao Jing was thinking wildly in her mind, and she didn't have an idea for a while, and she didn't know what the empress dowager would ask later, so the maid continued: "Just now Mrs. Jing Guogong cried again in front of the empress dowager, saying that the whole capital city I was watching the jokes in Duke Jing's mansion, if Marquis Wu An's crimes were not punished, she would not be able to live."

Zhao Jing was dumbfounded, what does it mean for a villain to sue first, she is talking about people like Mrs. Jing Guogong!She was in a daze when the palace maid inside had come out to spread the word that the Empress Dowager called her in.

Zhao Jing stretched the robe on her body, gathered the broken hair from her temples, and bowed her head to the hall.
