The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 94 Friction (2)
Zhao Jing was already blushing at this time. Although she was a leftover woman in ancient times, she was not as anxious as the matchmaker said if she missed the village and lost the shop.

Seeing Zhao Jing frowning and not speaking, Yuan Shi hurriedly dragged Aunt Cui to her room.She didn't want Zhao Jing to miss out on a good marriage, so she had to ask carefully.

Matchmaker Cui told Yuan Shi exactly what the old lady of the Shen family had said.It turned out that after Zhao Jing left that day, Mrs. Shen fell in love with her.It's true that Shen Congcai was married before, but his original partner died two or three years ago without a remarriage.Mrs. Shen has been troubled by this many times, and has met many girls, some of whom have better family backgrounds, and those who are young are not willing to be stepmothers.The family background is slightly inferior, and the old lady feels that she is not worthy of her son.Who knew that when he saw Zhao Jing that day, at his age and manners, wouldn't he be the person his son was looking for?

Old Mrs. Shen hurriedly asked people to find out clearly, knowing that Zhao Jing had just left the palace and was still waiting to get married at home, so she invited a matchmaker to come and talk about the matchmaking.

After hearing this, Yuan's heart was a little moved, she had been to the Shen family, although it was not as good as the rich and powerful family, but if Zhao Jing married, she would have to spend her days calling her servants.Yuan Shi didn't dare to say yes to Matchmaker Cui, so she said that they would discuss it after Zhao Yong came back.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Jing coaxed the two children to go to bed first, and when she went back to her room, she heard Zhao Yong talking to Yuan Shi in the kitchen.Zhao Yong is usually honest and honest, and his voice is not loud, but today he seems to be a bit angry, and his voice is much louder than usual.

"If you think it's good, then go and marry our girl, Huang Hua, you let her be someone's stepmother as soon as she enters the house. What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Jing's heart sank after hearing this, and she couldn't help but hid outside the door and continued to listen.

"What do you mean by that? Am I not doing it for my sister? Don't even think about it yourself. My sister has been in the palace for more than ten years for this family. What age is she now? Is there a 25-year-old girl in this world? As long as you feel sorry for her, I don't feel bad for her? Didn't I see that Shen's family is a rich family, and that Uncle Shen is eating the imperial rations anyway, so it's better to live a hard life with us than to live a hard life with us."

When Yuan Shi said this, she couldn't help crying, "You know you love my sister, so have you thought about her future? After saving those dowry money, you have to find your in-law's family first!"

"Why can't my sister find her in-law's family...my sister..." Zhao Yong thought of the little emperor, the uncle of the country, and the regent who had been seeing one after another for a while, and really didn't know what Zhao Jing was thinking. idea.

"Although my sister was a continuation in the past, she is also the main wife of the Ming Dynasty. I have also heard of people who came out of the palace and became official concubines. But no matter how noble a concubine is, that is also a concubine." Yuan wiped With tears on her face, she still felt a little sad in her heart: "If I have any bad intentions towards my sister, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

Zhao Yong also knew that Yuan's intentions were good, but as soon as he heard that Shen Congcai had two children at home, he felt that Zhao Jing would be wronged if he passed.Zhao Yong sighed and said: "Don't cry, I know you are kind, but no matter what happens, the girl needs to nod, don't you think so?"

Yuan Shi is still feeling uncomfortable at this moment. Zhao Yong has never spoken to her in such a tone until now. She feels wronged and cries even harder.

The north wind blew the window paper rattling, Zhao Jing heard movement inside the door, turned around and left hastily.She went into her room, lit the oil lamp, the charcoal fire in the corner was very hot, she had just stood outside for a long while, and now she was cold all over her body.She moved the embroidered pier and sat in front of the charcoal basin, rubbing her hands to keep warm.

Because she had wronged Yuan Shi, she felt very sorry, but she hadn't started to think about personal issues yet, if Zhao Yong really asked, she didn't know how to reply.Zhao Jing sighed and frowned in depression. It seems that no matter in ancient times or modern times, leftover women could not even think about living safely at home.

Zhao Jing slept all night, temporarily forgetting what happened yesterday.When she woke up in the morning, Yuan Shi didn't seem to have any temper, probably because Zhao Yong had coaxed her back.After Zhao Jing had breakfast, she thought that someone from Dongjiexifang must come to inquire about what happened yesterday, so she might as well go out.

Xingyue Tower is not closed for Chinese New Year. This is a rule that Aunt Zhu has set for many years. Except for the little maids in the building, who are bought back, the other managers and shopkeepers are all maids from the palace. Some of them have no family members. , Xingyue Tower is their home.

Zhao Jing sighed and told Aunt Zhu what happened yesterday, still feeling a little embarrassed, thinking that Aunt Zhu would help her.

Aunt Zhu waved her hand directly and said, "I can't do anything about it. Either you agree, or you don't agree. I was annoyed at the time, so when my mother passed away, I moved out and lived alone." Aunt Zhu As he said that, his eyes flashed suddenly, he turned his head to look at Zhao Jing and said, "Otherwise, you can move out, I have a good errand here and I need someone, you can do it!"
