The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 79
Through the translucent window paper, Zhao Jing saw the snowflakes falling outside. At that time, she only thought about going out of the palace and put other things back. , It is really not easy for an ordinary woman.

"Your sister-in-law is a good person! That's why I treat you like this. Although my family doesn't have a sister-in-law, there is a sister-in-law who can make troubles. When I just came out of the palace, they treated me well, but for What, I was very clear in my heart, didn't I just look at how much money I had on me! Later, I didn't want my mother to be burdened, so I bought a woman and a little maid, and their true nature was revealed, and they began to show off the master's score, I don’t want to touch anything big or small in my family, and I still have to send the money to me every month.” Having said this, Aunt Zhu sighed, and said lightly, “I wanted to live like this, It's a pity that my old mother is not blessed, and I died not long after I came out, so I simply moved out, and now we don't see each other, but we live in peace."

Seeing Aunt Zhu's straightforwardness, Zhao Jing admired her freedom and ease, but her own situation was different from hers. Her brother and sister-in-law treated her well, so she had no reason to let the family spend this unreasonable money, "I didn't think about it. After moving out, I still have a few coins in my hand, and I think that after the new year, I will set up a business for my brother, so that the life of the family can be more comfortable." There are many things here that she still doesn't understand, so she has to go everywhere. After inquiring, she has just left the palace, so she has to figure out this world first, and then start to plan for the future.

"Then you still live there? In such a cold day, is there a charcoal fire at night?"

"There are charcoal fires..." Zhao Jing couldn't help coughing as she spoke, her throat was so uncomfortable and itchy from the charcoal fires for the past two days.

"I'm afraid it's an ordinary charcoal fire. I'll tell you why I feel that you are different from before. It turns out that your voice has changed. Your voice was so clear before, like a magpie on a branch." Aunt Zhu held the teacup and put The eyes fell on Zhao Jing. She was the most optimistic about Zhao Jing when she just came out of the palace. She was good-looking and careful. She didn't know who she would be pointed out by the empress dowager in the future, but who knew that this silly elder sister would say so. Without saying a word, he came out of the palace.

"Otherwise, why don't you live with me?" Seeing that Zhao Jing was silent, Aunt Zhu put down the teacup and said with a smile, "My house is big and there are a few poor women. Go and buy a small one yourself. It's more comfortable for a servant girl to come than to live at home."

In fact, Zhao Jing was a little moved, not for anything else, she also wanted to make the life of her brother and sister-in-law more comfortable.She has been at home for a while, living in the main house of the house, and the husband and wife are living in the newly built upside-down house. Zhao Jing mentioned to Zhao Yong to change the room, but Zhao Yong said that the house is small and warm, and they are not willing to change. In fact, why didn't Zhao Jing understand his intentions!

Seeing Zhao Jing sighed, Aunt Zhu also knew her embarrassment, so she said: "Now it's the end of the year, and the matter of moving can be delayed. The maid who comes out will be a gentleman, and I will recommend a family with a decent and rich family style for you, and you will move out when you say you want to be a gentleman in the mansion."

Zhao Jing thinks this is a good idea, but she is still reluctant to part with her brother and sister-in-law. Maybe after the new year, she will get used to life at home.

A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground outside the Xingyue Tower. Aunt Zhu personally sent Zhao Jing to the door, and called the little maid to call a carriage over. Zhao Jing saw that it was still early, so she also stared at Yuan Shi when she went back at this time. Small-eyed, seeing Yuan Shi busy with dinner, she couldn't intervene to help, so she said to the coachman, "Uncle, please take me to Wu'anhou Mansion."

Aunt Zhu asked, "What are you going to Wu'anhou's mansion for?" She just asked, and suddenly remembered, she pulled Zhao Jing to the corner curiously, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Mrs. Wu'anhou's funeral is You do it, then you must know the tricks here, it’s all because of this matter, the business of my teahouse is a bit better than in previous years, I am also curious, the lady of Jingguo’s mansion is really pregnant. Is the child married?"

After Zhao Jing heard this, she couldn't help laughing bitterly: "Didn't you not like to listen to these gossips before? Why did you ask about this?"

"Now I run a teahouse, even if I don't want to hear it, someone will tell me!"

Zhao Jing shook her head with a smile, and said to Aunt Zhu: "I'll tell you about this in detail some other day, but I can't explain it clearly today."

Aunt Zhu nodded, let Zhao Jing go, and asked: "Then you go to their house today, what else do you want?"

Zhao Jing turned her head, looked at the faint wrinkles on Aunt Zhu's heavily made-up face, and said slowly: "General Qi's youngest son has acne, I'll go and see him."

There was a trace of astonishment in Aunt Zhu's bright eyes. She stared at Zhao Jing's back in a daze for a long time before she murmured: "Wait a minute, I happen to be going home, let's go together along the way."
