The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 92: Apprenticeship (2)
The little emperor stared blankly at the imperial city full of fireworks, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness in his young heart. The huge world belonged to her alone, but without Zhao Jing, what use would it be for him to want this world?
"Your Majesty, it's getting late at night. Your Majesty should go back to the palace earlier. Today is New Year's Eve. Your Majesty should go to Yongshou Palace to watch the new year with the Empress Dowager."

"I don't want to go, I don't want to see the regent." The emperor turned his face away.

A group of people in the square were slowly heading towards the gate of the palace. Fu Manduo poked his forehead and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the regent has left the palace. Your Majesty can get up and drive back to the palace."

The sweaty BMW is mighty and high-spirited. Zhou Yi was riding on the horse in light fur. When he turned around, he suddenly saw the little emperor standing on the top of the city wall. Running in the dark.

Zhao Jing and her brother and sister-in-law stayed until the third watch, and everyone was so sleepy that they fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, the sky was already bright.Zhao Jing got up in a hurry, and today she agreed to go with Yuan Shi to worship Zhao Erhu as a teacher, but she went too late, it was outrageous.

Yuan Shi has cleaned up properly, and has returned to her usual frugal appearance, but Zhao Jing secretly discovered that Yuan Shi painted her eyebrows today, and she looks more energetic than usual.

After Zhao Jing finished washing in the room and had breakfast, Zhao Yong had already prepared all the things for Zhao Erhu's apprenticeship.Zhao Erhu was even wearing a long satin gown, and he looked like a human being.

Zhao Jing asked him, "Er Hu, what should I do when I see Mr.?"

Zhao Erhu frowned and thought for a while, then replied, "Kowtow."

"What about the wife who met Mr.?"

"Kowtow too."

Zhao Jing thought to herself, kowtow is a good practice, it works wherever you go, there are thousands of mistakes, if you follow all the etiquette, you will never go wrong.

There were a lot of things to send to Mr. Shen's house, and even Zhao Jing and Yuan couldn't take them.Fortunately, there was a trolley at home, and Yuan Shi spread an oilcloth on it, let Zhao Jing and Zhao Erhu sit down, Zhao Yong pushed the trolley, and she walked with her.

Zhao Jing didn't want to sit down at first, but Zhao Erhu pulled her, so she had to sit down too.There was a big ham, a bag of dried fruit, and two packs of herbs in the car.These are prepared by Zhao Yong before.With so many things, it is already a large amount for a family with an average income.The cost of education has not been low since ancient times, and Zhao Jing empathizes with this point.

Although the road is not far away, there are neighbors who are visiting relatives and friends along the way, and they can't stop saying hello.The big guys had paid homage to each other in the early years, and the topic always revolved around two themes, first: When did Zhao Jing leave the palace, can someone be settled now?Second: I envy Zhao Erhu to go to a private school, so that he will be able to stand out in the future.

Zhao Jing has been teased a lot, and she is not ashamed anymore, but Yuan Shi is very enthusiastic about this matter, and keeps mentioning it to the other party. If she has a good appearance and good character, she must come and talk about it. It will not work when the time comes, anyway. Also look at each other.

Zhao Yong was often teased along the way, and everyone said unanimously: "You say you are a big and three thick, but why do you have such a delicate girl! If you don't know, who can tell that you two are still brothers and sisters on the road?" Come."

Zhao Yong blushed when he heard this, and said unconvinced: "Why, my sister has served the emperor in the palace, so she is naturally different from others. No matter how handsome she is, she is also my sister."

Zhao Jing didn't take these words to heart, and enjoyed the time leisurely and contentedly. When the New Year's Day was over, she would indeed think about her future as Aunt Zhu said.

After walking for about half an hour, the Shen family arrived.A courtyard with three entrances may not be considered big, but it can be considered wealthy in this capital where every inch of land is expensive.

Yuan went to call the door, and wanted to drag Zhao Yong in, but Zhao Yong refused desperately, pushed the cart to the side, and waved his hand to let them in with Zhao Erhu.

After a while, the servants came to answer the door. When they saw two women with a six or seven-year-old boy, they knew that they were here to apprentice.

"You can come early, there are still a wave of guests at the beginning of the new year!" The old woman opened the door for Zhao Jing and the others, and seeing a pile of things on the ground, she shouted inside: "Old man, there are guests bringing My son is looking for a teacher from his master."

Things moved in, and people followed into the main room, Zhao Jing thanked the woman, and sat with Yuan Shi waiting for someone.After a while, a little girl came over to bring them tea, Yuan thought why Mr. Shen didn't come out, and didn't have the mind to drink tea.On the contrary, Zhao Jing still sat patiently. She had worked as a servant in the palace, and the most important thing she lacked was patience.

Seeing Zhao Erhu hiding in Yuan Shi's embrace timidly, Zhao Jing waved at him and said, "Erhu, come to sister-in-law."

Zhao Erhu slipped into Zhao Jing's arms and looked left and right. He had never seen such an antique-like main room before.

Zhao Jing rubbed Zhao Erhu's forehead reassuringly, and said in a low voice: "Erhu remember, you should be polite when you meet your husband, don't be afraid, he is very kind, only students who don't work hard will be punished. "

Zhao Erhu nodded with his eyes dripping, and at this moment, a slightly deep voice came from outside the door: "Miss Zhao, I didn't expect it to be you."
