The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 95 The Palace (1)
When Zhao Jing heard Aunt Zhu talk about that errand, it turned out that the butler of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion had come to invite someone with a post from the old lady.She knows the children of Marquis Wu'an very well. Except for the two young masters raised in the outer courtyard, she is very familiar with Sun Yu'e, Xu Xian and the twins. No wonder Aunt Zhu said that this matter must be suitable for her. .

Zhao Jing waved her hand and said: "I dare not go to this Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. There are no rules from top to bottom. I go there once to get angry. Do you still remember the last time I came to your place to go to their mansion?" After walking for a while, a little girl stopped to read the letter that Lord Hou wrote to the old lady."

Zhao Jing thought of Sun Yu'e and didn't want to watch it, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xu really loved her, and she really came here to hire a husband.Zhao Jing lowered her head, thinking that it's been a few days now, and she hasn't heard the news of the army returning to the city. I don't know if Marquis Wu An has returned. If he is here, the Marquis' mansion may be more peaceful.

"Then you should go all the more! Also let them know what the rules are, teach them the rules in our palace, and grind them well, let them know that to be a person who can attract everyone It’s not easy for everyone to be a lady.” In fact, when the servants of the Marquis of Wu’an came to deliver the post, they mentioned Zhao Jing, and specifically said that Mrs. Xu liked Zhao Jing very much, thinking that she could come to the mansion to teach two girl.It's just that Aunt Zhu knew Zhao Jing's temper, and it would not be easy to get straight to the point like this, so she kept her secret.

"I have this spare time, so I might as well do something else!" Zhao Jing felt that this matter couldn't be dealt with, and if she really went, she couldn't just pick and choose.

"What else do you have to do? Don't you just wait at home all day long for the matchmaker to come to propose marriage? To be honest, your brother and sister-in-law are very kind to you now, but you really want to stay at home without getting married for a year or two." Miss Jin, you see how they can still treat you like this."

Zhao Jing knew that Aunt Zhu was from here, so what she said naturally made some sense. It has only been a few days, and the brother and sister-in-law, who have never quarreled because of their own marriage, both blushed.The family lives together, and the upper and lower teeth still fight. There will always be conflicts, which will hurt the relationship.

"You're right. As for the fact that I don't want to marry now, I'm afraid my brother and sister-in-law won't understand."

Aunt Zhu saw that she was a little moved, so she teased her: "Why don't we just get married? From what you said, the one surnamed Shen doesn't seem to be too bad?"

Zhao Jing rolled her eyelids at her, and said with a smile: "If I'm really in a hurry to get married, I'll let the queen mother make the decision as soon as I'm in the palace, and I won't have to wait until now."

Aunt Zhu sent Zhao Jing downstairs, and asked her to think about her proposal. The Marquis of Wu'an gave a lot of Shuxiu, ten taels of silver a month, which was twice as high as that of ordinary people who hired people. .If Zhao Jing went to the Hou's Mansion, she would naturally have food and shelter, and a special little maid to take care of her. Compared with her current life at home, it would be much better.

Zhao Jing said that she should think about it again, after all, she lived at home well, and suddenly said that she wanted to leave, and her brother and sister-in-law would also ask why.

Aunt Zhu went into the store after seeing off Zhao Jing, shopkeeper Liu asked her with a smile, "Master, is this also a girl from the palace? She looks so iconic, doesn't she have a husband's family?"

Aunt Zhu smiled and said: "No, I also thought that she should be a sweet potato, but she didn't even think about herself."

Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "This girl is really good-looking. She doesn't look like a northerner, but a southerner. The water is tender, like a water onion."

Aunt Zhu said: "Shopkeeper Liu, you have misjudged the person this time. She is a girl born and raised in the capital, but she has a good appearance."

Zhao Jing wants to live a peaceful life, but she is doomed to be unable to be quiet because of the halo of a leftover woman.Sure enough, just after the Spring Festival, her peach blossom rain has sprung up like mushrooms, and a matchmaker will come to inquire every two days.But apart from Shen Congcai last time, the others were all pushed away by Yuan Shi. Any uncle in his fifties or sixties wanted to eat tender grass. Yuan Shi was so angry that he picked up the broom, and angrily drove the matchmaker away. gone.

Seeing Yuan's emperor not in a hurry and eunuchs in a hurry, Zhao Jing pulled her to sit down and rest.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, everyone is gone!"

Yuan shi poked her head and took a look, and saw that the man had gone far away, so she sat down and waved her hands angrily to disperse the hot sweat from her neck.Yuan Shi sat for a while, raised her head to look at Zhao Jing, couldn't help but asked the words that had been held in her heart for a long time: "Sister, what do you think of that Uncle Shen that Matchmaker Cui said that day?"

Zhao Jing lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then replied honestly: "He is a nice person, and his family is well-off." She can't discredit him just because she doesn't like him, it's inappropriate.

"Then you...?" Yuan Shi wanted to ask another question, but there was a knock on the door, and a woman outside asked, "Is anyone at home?"
