[Red Mansion] Different Daiyu

Brother Jiu finished tossing all the grapes on the table before peeling about a dozen whole grapes. Lin Daiyu smiled and handed one to Brother Jiu. Brother Jiu ate it with a smile, "Okay , Qin Duoshou, why don't you hurry up and wait for Master to wash up and change clothes. Didn't I make a dress for Jiu Ye a few days ago, so I'll take that one."

Qin Duoshou had an expression of "you are blessed", and said with a smile: "Master, that dress is beautiful. It took Fujin a long time to make it. Fujin is really a good wife and mother. I made a robe for seeing you, and I also made a lot of clothes for the unborn little master."

Brother Nine patted Qin Duoshou on the head hard, motioned him to shut up, then smiled and said to Lin Jinyu, "Jinyu will talk to your sister well." Then he said to Lin Daiyu, "Father-in-law is in the heart of Jia's affairs. There are a few, and you don’t care too much. If it’s boring, will you ask the theater troupe to come out?”

"Okay, okay, go and come back quickly. I know, where else can I go?" Lin Daiyu has a big belly. Lin Daiyu has been pregnant for nearly five months now, but her belly is five times larger than usual. Yue's belly was very big, and the imperial physician said that it might be twins. This really liked the Queen Mother Yifei, and even Kangxi was very happy, and gave him countless rewards.

The Qing Dynasty paid attention to many children and many blessings, not to mention that the ninth elder brother had no chance to be a big man, so it was a good thing whether the twins were male or female.But this made Brother Jiu's nerves more and more tense.

Brother Jiu looked at Lin Daiyu's big belly, smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Lin Daiyu's belly, and then told the nuns standing behind Lin Daiyu, "Take good care of Fujin, the master will come soon."

"Sister, brother Jiu is so kind to you. Hehe, I'm just too nervous." Lin Jinyu looked at her sister's big belly curiously, "Sister, do you really have two babies in your stomach?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Lin Daiyu took a sip of her tea and suddenly felt a craving for something sour. She looked at the table and took an orange. Cuiyu quickly broke it open for her. Lin Daiyu ate a piece, and it wasn't very sour. , but also good.

"Sister, it would be great if it was a boy and a girl. What if there are two boys who are exactly the same? Will you admit your mistake?" Lin Jinyu is only 13 years old this year. childish.

Lin Daiyu found it funny when she thought of this. When she read those novels in her previous life, she heard that there was a saying in the Qing Dynasty that twins could only live as one of them.In ancient times, the survival rate of children was low, and it is even more precious to have twins. It is said that the fifth elder brother Yongqi, the leading actor in a grandma's drama, and his side Fujin Sochao Luoshi gave birth to twins.

"What's the matter, besides, it's fun to be exactly the same, isn't it?" Lin Daiyu had already fantasized about giving birth to a pair of identical twins, and she also prepared a lot of identical clothes.

"By the way, Jia Baoyu married the second wife, did you post a message to your father?" Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered.

"It's off, but Dad doesn't plan to go. It won't be long before someone sends a gift that day. A second wife and second son marry a second wife, hehe, so to speak, it's really two." Lin Jinyu suddenly said happily.

Lin Daiyu was also happy, holding her belly and laughing from ear to ear, and the nuns nervously spread their arms around her, lest she accidentally fall off the stool.

Brother Nine looked from afar, and was extremely nervous, so he hurried over and helped Lin Daiyu, "You, you are almost a mother, why are you still so frizzy!"

"It's okay, I just talked about the Jia family's matter. What is the second wife and the second son marrying the second wife? It's very awkward." Lin Daiyu looked at the sweat on Brother Jiu's forehead and knew that he was really scared just now. Since she was diagnosed With twins in his belly, he became more and more nervous. Sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night and found that he was looking at his belly with his eyes open, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.Lin Daiyu looked very sad.

Seeing this, Lin Jinyu snickered a few times, then stood up, "Sister, it's getting late, I'll go back to study first."

"Let's eat here at noon, what are you going back to do in a hurry!" Brother Jiu pretended to stay in front of Lin Daiyu and said, he winked at Lin Jinyu, 'well done'.Brother Jiu was worried that Lin Daiyu would be very boring raising a baby at home, and also worried that Lin Daiyu would feel tired if the people who came stayed for a long time.

"No, Daddy is still waiting to ask me about my homework. Sister, I'll chat with you next time." Lin Jinyu said with a smile.

Lin Daiyu had no choice but to order Qin Duoshou to personally send Lin Jinyu back to the Lin Mansion. Seeing that Lin Jinyu had left, Lin Daiyu looked back at Brother Jiu, "Are you satisfied now?"

Brother Jiu hugged Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu also leaned into Brother Jiu's arms, and the two walked towards the room, "When no one comes, you are afraid that I will be bored, so you look around for someone to accompany me, but here comes Well, you think he stayed too long again. Fortunately, he knows your temperament, otherwise." Lin Daiyu shook her head and said.

Brother Jiu looked at Lin Daiyu's stomach worriedly, "Aren't I afraid that you will be bored? Every time I look at your stomach, I feel flustered, you are so thin..."

Lin Daiyu touched Brother Jiu's cheek, "Don't worry, the baby and I are fine. Doctor Zhang came to take a pulse once every three days, and they all said that the baby is fine. The nurses also said that my fetal image is very good, and, Twins are usually born in less than a month, and the children will not be too big at that time. They will feel much better during delivery. It’s okay, don’t worry.”

Brother Jiu smiled, but he still couldn't hide his worry when he looked at her stomach.

When Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai got married a month later, the Lin family only sent a gift, and Jiu A Ge's mansion only sent a servant to give a neither light nor heavy gift.

The days passed in the expectation of Concubine Yi and brother Jiu's uneasiness. The time passed in November of the 46th year of Kangxi. After eight months of pregnancy, Lin Daiyu became more and more difficult to move, her belly was huge, and even the veins on her belly They could see everything very clearly, and Lin Daiyu couldn't sleep well at night, as soon as she lay down, she felt her heart was crushed and her breathing was difficult.Every night I had to sit and sleep on the thick quilt.

Ninth elder brother also became more and more nervous, unable to sleep the whole night, and watched Lin Daiyu's movements with wide eyes. When Lin Daiyu moved slightly, ninth elder brother was extremely nervous.Lin Daiyu sometimes thinks that it is better for the child to be born earlier, otherwise Brother Jiu will collapse if others don't talk about it.

On the evening of the seventh day of November, Lin Daiyu was walking around the room with the support of Brother Jiu, and suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach. At first she didn't care, and walked a few steps, suddenly felt wet under her body, Lin Daiyu At first he thought he was peeing, but just wanted to ask Cuiyu to help him change clothes.The throbbing pain in her stomach suddenly made her eyes widen, "Master, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth!"

Brother Jiu was nervously looking at Lin Daiyu's feet, and when he heard Lin Daiyu say that he was about to give birth, he stammered: "I'm going to give birth, I'm going to give birth? Come on, Fujin is going to give birth!" Picking up Lin Daiyu, she walked to the delivery room that had been arranged earlier, shouting as she walked, "What about people, Fujin is about to give birth!"

The mothers and sisters were already busy. Brother Jiu put Lin Daiyu on the kang, anxiously not knowing what to do, "Isn't it only eight months old? Why is she going to give birth well? Where's the imperial doctor?"

Nanny Li and two nuns from Yifei Palace came in and saw Brother Jiu still in the delivery room, "My elder brother, why are you still here, why don't you get out soon."

Lin Daiyu endured the pain in her stomach, "Get out quickly. Hong Fu, you go to the kitchen and bring me something to eat. Hurry up. Master, you go out quickly, remember to tell your mother."

Brother Jiu was pushed out by Nanny Li, and there was heavy snow outside. Qin Duofu asked Brother Jiu to sit in the room, but Brother Jiu pushed Qin Duofu away impatiently.Qin Duoshou rolled his eyes at his elder brother, "I really have no eyesight." He said obsequiously and took a big cloak and put it on Brother Jiu, "Master, why don't you go to the Bodhisattva and put incense on Fujin. Fujin is the most kind and generous , Bodhisattva will definitely bless Fujin for a safe delivery."

Brother Jiu nodded, "By the way, where is Zhang Bingquan? Have you invited him?"

"Don't worry, Lord, Qin Jian has already gone. Qin Dan also went to inform Mr. Lin." Qin Duofu said with his head down.

"En, very good." Brother Jiu nodded casually, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Qin Duoshou pursed his lips, clasped his hands together and prayed silently, bless Fujin to give birth to his little master safely.The commotion at the ninth elder brother's house also alarmed many people. After a while, Lin Ruhai and his wife came over in disheveled clothes, braving the heavy snow. The fourth elder brother and his eighth elder brother also came.

Now, even if Brother Jiu didn't want to, he had to accompany the guests to the flower hall and wait.

The whole Jiu Ah Ge's mansion was brightly lit, there were people coming and going in the delivery room, Jiu Ah Ge paced back and forth in the warm flower hall, Lin Ruhai closed his eyes, but the slightly sweaty forehead showed that he was not at peace at the moment.Sifujin and Lin Daiyu have a good relationship, and they are also waiting anxiously at this time, while Bafujin is thinking of the pregnant Zhang family in the backyard.

The fourth elder brother silently twirled the prayer beads in his hand, while the eighth elder brother patted the ninth elder brother with concern, "Okay, ninth brother, younger siblings are blessed, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Just as he was talking, Qin Duofu said, "Master, fifth elder brother and Wu Fujin are here."

"How are the younger brothers and sisters?" Wu Fujin asked anxiously as soon as he entered the door.As he spoke, he lifted off the cloak, saw no one answered, stomped his feet, turned around and walked towards the delivery room, Si Fujin followed after seeing this, she had wanted to go in a long time ago, but she was afraid that people would gossip, now it’s all right, Wu Fujin is Lin His own sister-in-law, no one will say anything when I go with her.

Sifujin and Wufujin roasted their bodies outside the delivery room to get rid of the cold air on their bodies, and then opened the thick curtain and walked in.Lin Daiyu was biting the cloth strip in her mouth, listening to the words of the nuns and trying her best, when she saw Si Fujin and Wu Fujin coming, she glanced at it, and was pulled back to her senses by the pain.

"It's okay, sisters and sisters, listen to Mammy and use your strength!" Wu Fujin encouraged Lin Daiyu's hand, and Si Fujin looked at it with concern.

Lin Daiyu smiled gratefully, and took advantage of the pain to say: "Sister-in-law, you go out quickly. I'm fine, help me look after Master Dian Jiu."

Wu Fujin saw that the nuns took good care of her and arranged them well, and she was indeed in the way here, so she nodded, "Don't worry about having a baby, my fourth sister-in-law and I will help you with the affairs of the house."

After Wu Fujin and the others went out, Lin Daiyu bit the cloth again and began to exert herself.

After a sleepless night, when the eastern sky turned white, two baby cries sounded back and forth, and the heavy snow that had been falling for several days stopped at this time.

Qin Duoshou's pleasantly distorted voice came, "Congratulations, Fujin is born, two white and fat little elder brothers!"

Brother Jiu suddenly turned his head, laughed twice, rolled his eyes suddenly, and fell to the ground.The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother just smiled, and ran over in fright.

The author has something to say: there were records of twins in the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no saying that only one of the twins can survive. The only surviving child of the fifth elder brother Yongqi, Mian Yi, is one of the twins.The fifth son, Mianyi, was born on August 29, the [-]th year of Qianlong, and should be twins with the fourth son. -- Excerpted from Baidu Encyclopedia

And there are many records of twins in history. Here are some examples I found.

Tang Gaozu's second son Li Shimin and third son Li Xuanba were twins.Gaozu's 22 sons: Empress Dousheng Jiancheng, Emperor Taizong, Xuanba, Yuanji.Xuan Ba, the king of Wei Huai, was named Dade.Juvenile debate.In the tenth year of Sui Daye's death (614), he was sixteen years old and had no children. Li Xuanba and Tang Taizong (79-599) were born to the same mother and the same age in "New Tang Book Volume 649 Biography of the Fourth Great Patriarch". There is only one possibility, that they are twins.

"History of the Ming Dynasty": "King Gong of Chu was destitute, died in the fifth year of Longqing, and the twin sons of Hu's family, Hua Kui and Hua Bi... In the eighth year of Wanli, Hua Kui was the heir of the king, and Hua Bi was also named the king of Xuanhua"

There are many foreign examples.I think those rumors about the unknown twins are only aimed at the eldest son of the queen, and the influence of elder brother Jiu may not be too great. Sister He Lin will solve these problems.
