The Third Sister of You's Family in the Red Chamber

As soon as the news came, the whole family couldn't eat the New Year's Eve dinner.Yu Shi was happy and nervous at the same time, he really didn't know what to do.Master You looked calm, but the hand holding the chopsticks was already shaking.The second sister held Yao Shan's hand tightly, her palms were wet with sweat.

There was a tense atmosphere on the table, but it seemed that Mr. Zhang Youshi became extraordinarily calm.Fortunately, Yao Shan's reaction was not slow after all, she stood up quickly, apologized to her husband first, then took her mother and sister to leave, and avoided the inner room.There was Mr. You taking care of him outside, but their mothers hid in to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Mother Yu was hesitant to rush to Ningguo Mansion overnight to take care of her, but the second sister had no idea, so naturally she agreed.Yao Shan felt that it was rare for her mother to be happy this time, so she didn't mention the words that were not in line with the rules, and immediately agreed, which meant that she would go to Ningguo Mansion overnight.

The mother and daughter discussed it, they quickly packed their things, and directly arranged for someone to prepare the car, and then they went out of the room and went to the flower hall, preparing to report the matter to Mr. You, and bid farewell to Zhang Youshi by the way.

Originally their inner courtyard was still some distance away from the flower hall, but because the three of Yu's mother and daughter hurried over, they didn't feel that far away, they almost trotted all the way there.

After such an interruption, no one was in the mood to eat this New Year's Eve dinner. Mr. You was drinking tea with Zhang Youshi, and when he saw Mrs. Yu brought Yao Shan and Second Sister You in, he knew their plan.Holding the teacup in his hand, he wanted to put on a show in front of his old friends, pretending to reprimand Yu's mother and daughter a few words.But when he opened his mouth, a sentence came out: "Go early and come back early." As soon as the words came out, I felt that my voice was trembling, so I coughed lightly to cover it up, and waved my hands to let Yao Shan and the second sister have a good life Take care of Yu Shi.

Mrs. Yu and her second sister naturally turned their heads excitedly and wanted to go out, but Yao Shan motioned for her second sister to help Mrs. Yu go first, but she stopped in her tracks, stepped forward and saluted Mr. You and Zhang Youshi : "Today coincides with the festive season. The eldest sister's son chose Luocao today. It is obviously a blessing. It's just that it disturbed the New Year's dinner of the master and the master. There are enough dishes prepared in the mansion today, and the wine is also ready-made Yes, the small red clay stove that the master gave me last time is also there, why not invite the master and master to go to the city together, sit in a carriage, sit around the red stove, enjoy the snow and drink wine, and wait for the good news, wouldn’t it be fun? "

For Yao Shan to say such words in a five or six-year-old girl's voice, it has the effect of bluffing people.Mr. You was stupefied at first, he hurriedly put down the bowl of tea he had been holding for a long time, nodded repeatedly and said: "That's a good idea." Then he turned around and said to Zhang Youshi: "Brother Jin, what do you think?"

Although Yao Shan couldn't stare at Zhang Youshi eagerly like Master You, she couldn't help but look at her master's expression.As a result, he still had the same expression, a smile, a calm smile.Although calm, it made Yao Shan feel that she was despised with a smile.Even if Mr. You and the others couldn't see it, Yao Shan, who had been together day and night for more than half a year, did not miss him raising half of his eyebrows slightly, which was a clear proof of his slight contempt for her.

Although it is inevitable to feel a little frustrated, Yao Shan believes that sometimes, a moderate thick-skinnedness is conducive to a happy mood and the achievement of goals.For example, now, no matter how much Teacher Zhang Youshi despises her "Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance Aims at Peigong" for being too blunt and tattered, didn't he accompany Master You in the other carriage beside Yao Shan's mother and daughter's carriage in the end?

Therefore, it does not matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. This is absolutely true.Teacher Zhang, who was like a breeze and bright moon, just followed the messy, anxious and flustered You family who didn't follow any rules, and went to Ningguo Mansion to kill them.

When we arrived at Ningguo Mansion, it was almost a watch.Everyone got out of the carriage together, and waited for someone to pass on the news, only a few aunts and wives followed, and no important wives were seen.

Yushi was a little unhappy, but he was thinking about Youshi, so he didn't say much, took his second and third sisters into the sedan chair, and went directly to the backyard.When entering the gate of Yimen to change the sedan chair, Yao Shan and her second sister supported Shi Yu from one left to the other. They felt that she was trembling when she walked, and she couldn't help feeling a little tense in her heart.

Because the second sister and Yao Shan are not very old, they are afraid of collision after all, so the two children are strictly forbidden to approach the delivery room.Girls and women had already picked them up, and brought them both to rest and have tea in the greenhouse outside Yimen.And Mrs. Yu was led, and went directly to the delivery room where Mrs. You gave birth.

After the maids poured tea, poured water, and placed fruit, Yao Shan politely sent them off to rest, leaving only herself and her second sister's two nuns, Xiaotao and Dingxiang, behind. The girl who used to serve them waited outside.Then he sat with his second sister and waited.

Nanny Hu and Nanny Ji are old, while Xiaotao and Dingxiang are young, so they dozed off on their side after a while.Yao Shan didn't care about it, but felt that it was easier to talk and freer.The second sister has always been gentler to her servants than the original elder sister Youshi, and she will not take the initiative to teach her maid and mother-in-law a lesson.So for a while, the room was very quiet.

Yao Shan was anxious, but she had nothing to do, so she could only stare at her second sister in boredom.Unknowingly, the second elder sister had already passed her ninth birthday, so she was already half a year old.Although Yao Shan has only turned six years old after the new year, her body has already passed several six years old, so there is nothing she should know that she doesn't know.The two sisters were trapped in this small room during the Chinese New Year, waiting for the elder sister to give birth half a mile apart. This kind of mood and experience is really rare. get closer.

The two of them were silent for a while, but the second sister couldn't help it anymore, held Yao Shan's hand, and said softly, "Third sister, you said that the eldest sister..." When she said this, her face turned red, and she continued. Said: "Her pregnancy may be successful?"

Yao Shan thought to herself: How do I know, the matter of having a child is still a big deal in modern times, not to mention the environment here, sister... let's not talk about the sanitary conditions, let's spread it in this wealthy compound Yes, anything can happen.In short, make a lot of preparations, and if things are not good, you have to send a message outside to find someone.

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to show her face at all. She just smiled, patted the back of the second sister's hand lightly, and said softly: "Second sister, don't worry, the eldest sister is lucky. Tian Xiang, it will be smooth. Besides, if the little nephew is disobedient and dares to torment the big sister, when he comes out, we will spank his ass together."

What Yao Shan said made Second Sister You burst into laughter, and the tension and anxiety disappeared a lot.Once people relax, they tend to get sleepy. After a while, the second sister leaned on her head with one hand and dozed off.Seeing that she was tired, Yao Shan called Ding Xiang in to add an extra dress for her.She herself was still worried after all, so she told Ding Xiang to look after her second sister, and she took Xiao Tao out of the house, passed through the door of ceremonies, and went directly to the inner courtyard.

Because according to the rules, she is not allowed to approach the delivery room, so she always hides her head and feet.Fortunately, although the place was brightly lit and there were people coming and going, everyone was busy with their work, and I didn't expect that there would be people visiting such a dangerous place like the delivery room, so no one noticed her and Xiaotao. little girl.

So he did that, and even let them touch under the window of the delivery room.Before he got up, he heard a scream from inside, which startled the two of them.Then I heard a group of maids and women saying in disorder: "Grandma, work harder, it will come soon, it will come out soon."

Only then did Yao Shan realize that the scream just now was actually from Youshi, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared about the birth.Unexpectedly, after the voice passed, You Shi fell silent, the noise inside was even worse, and there were some women's cries vaguely, which made Yao Shan's heart sink.She gently peeked at the window and saw a group of people around the bed with red curtains, doing something in a hurry, pots of blood kept pouring out, and her mother, Yu Shi, was killed by several The aunt and mother-in-law were sitting in the outer room across the screen, her eyes were red from crying.

The strong smell of blood came to her nostrils, Yao Shan frowned, looked at Xiaotao beside her, whose face turned pale with fright, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and find Master Zhang, he is an imperial doctor, he can save lives."

Yao Shan said while pushing Xiaotao, and the little girl staggered away as if waking up from a dream.Seeing that she had gone far away, Yao Shan stood up slowly, touched the box containing the silver needles secretly in her bosom, gently opened the window, and climbed into the room.Then, in the astonishment of the whole room, he rushed to You Shi who was lying on the delivery bed.
