The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 93 Friction (1)
There was a smile on Shen Congcai's thin face, and his eyes became brighter because of surprise.Zhao Jing also recognized him immediately, got up and bowed to him.

"My father drank a few more glasses last night, and he hasn't gotten up yet."

Shen Congcai sat down at the main seat, and a little maid served him tea, and while he was drinking tea with his head down, he sneaked a glance at Zhao Jing.Zhao Jing is wearing a flowered jacket with honey and pigment face makeup, and a light yellow satin cotton skirt underneath, a pair of embroidered shoes are hidden under the skirt.Her skin was almost transparent and fair, and it was slightly reddened by the wind blowing all the way.

Zhao Jing bowed her head and said nothing, if it was an old gentleman who came out, it would be all right for her to say a few words.At this time, there was a young man in front of her, so it was hard for her to say much as an unmarried girl.

After listening to Shen Congcai's words, Yuan Shi smiled and said, "So you know each other?"

Zhao Jing was embarrassed to embarrass Yuan Shi, so she nodded with a smile, "When I was out of the palace a while ago to work for the Empress Dowager, I had a double-edged relationship with Master Shen."

She said it was a relationship between two sides, but it really was two sides.Shen Congcai put down the teacup, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, Zhao Jing was the one whom the Prince Regent was thinking about, why did he leave the palace instead of going to the Prince Regent's mansion... He didn't dare to think about the next few words.But at this moment, Zhao Jing sat quietly in front of her.

It has been two or three years since his original spouse left, but he has a pair of children without a mother.Shen Cong blushed inexplicably when he thought of this, how could he have such nasty thoughts.He looked up at Zhao Jing again, even though she was dressed plainly, she was noble and elegant, as if she was born with it.

Not long after, the old man and the old lady of the Shen family came out, Shen Congcai got up to leave, and Zhao Jing was a little less embarrassed. Yuan Shi didn't know what to say after seeing the real Buddha, and it all depended on Zhao Jing's communication on the scene.

When Mr. Shen learned that Zhao Jing was a court lady who served in front of the Empress Dowager, he looked at her with a little more respect.Zhao Erhu's kowtowing method was also used freely, and the old man accepted the student with a smile.

Yuan Shi followed Zhao Jing out of the Shen family, and asked her secretly in her ear: "Are you really not familiar with that young master of the Shen family? Why do I see him keep staring at you?"

Zhao Jing didn't expect Yuan Shi to be so careful in this regard, and she didn't know what to say, so she shyly said, "I'm probably good-looking, sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

Yuan Shi suddenly realized when she heard the words, she kept nodding her head and said: "It must be like this, even though your brother is honest, he can't help but take a look when he meets a good-looking woman."

Zhao Jing went as she said, anyway, today's task is to pay homage to Mr. Zhao Erhu, since Mr. has arrived, then this trip is not in vain, and if you don't have anything else, don't worry about it.

There are no major events during the New Year's Eve, and she can't do needlework. Zhao Jing is also idle at home.Occasionally, a few neighbors would come to visit, and everyone's sisters-in-law and aunts gathered together to chat and gossip, and the afternoon passed quickly.

Today, several young daughters-in-law from the neighbors are sitting under the eaves of the small courtyard of the Zhao family, chatting about some gossip about Zhang's parents and Li's family.Zhao Jing wore a small jacket and leaned against the wall to bask in the sun. She didn't like to listen to these gossips, mainly because she couldn't tell who was who. However, the faint smile on her face always made those who spoke feel that she was What he said was wonderful.

Suddenly the half-closed courtyard door outside was pushed open, and Zhao Jing looked curiously at the middle-aged woman in red and green who was walking in, and recalled in her mind the people she knew a while ago, as if There is no such person.

But she didn't know her, but everyone else did. They all stood up with a smile on their faces and said, "So it's Aunt Cui! What brought you here?"

The person called Aunt Cui smiled like a doll, flicked the handkerchief in her hand, and said to Yuan Shi: "Sister-in-law of the Zhao family is overjoyed! Overjoyed!"

At this time, the Yuan family was also confused by the second monk Zhang. This Aunt Cui is a matchmaker, and the two children of the Zhao family are only six or seven years old, so what joy can there be.Seeing that Yuan Shi didn't react, Matchmaker Cui glanced at Zhao Jing, and the neighbors understood, each smiled and said congratulations, and moved away with their small benches.

Yuan Shi also understood now, and asked curiously: "Aunt Cui, my sister is thin-skinned, please keep your voice down, this horoscope has not been written yet, don't let the neighbors see the joke."

"I don't believe it. With regard to the conditions of Uncle Shen on the next street, how can your sister not like it?" Cui Matchmaker said, and went directly to Zhao Jing and said, "Girl, let me tell you, Uncle Shen is on the court's salary." My lord, you work as an errand in the extremely wealthy household department, if you marry, you will be a young mistress when you enter the door."

When Yuan Shi heard this, she thought about it a little. This Uncle Shen, could it be the Uncle Shen who went to worship Mr. Zhao Erhu on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
