The whole heaven is watching Lao Tzu fall in love [Red Mansion]

Tang Xianzu said: "I don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who are born but cannot die, and those who die but cannot be resurrected are not the essence of love." It can be seen that the word love, also I don't know how many idiotic sons and daughters complained about the world.

However, it is not only the children of the world, even the gods who are known as the six pure and desireless, sometimes they can give birth to many lingering stories because of that infatuation.

But this story happened exactly in the bustling and prosperous place of Jinling, known as the world's first romantic place.There are endless scenes of prosperous times, and endless chariots and horses.

Although Jinling is large, there are only a few nobles from Tianhuang.Speaking of aristocratic families, apart from the royal relatives, there are four big families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, who support each other and depend on each other. They are so rich and famous that few people can match them for a while.It is often heard that people in the market say: "There is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron." The Jia family, headed by it, even made white jade their gold and horses. They really looked at the money as if it were dirt.

It was the fifth day of April, and Mrs. Jia's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was lying on the huanghuali couch and listening to a young boy studying. Dao, in Ming Mingde, in closeness to the people, in the ultimate good." While reading, he couldn't help but glance at the mother's high protruding belly.

There was a smile on Zhang's mouth, but she still had the posture of a strict mother, and said: "Lian'er, you must be serious about studying, how can you be half-hearted?"

The young man whose name was Jia Lian heard this, and put his little head close to him, full of curiosity, he said, "Mother, let me take a look first, to see when my brother will come out."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and smiled: "When it's time for him to come out, he will come out."

The two talked for a while, but saw a maid bowing her head and entering the room.Wearing a white silk pleated skirt, a red silk jacket, and a green vest with pinched teeth over it, she stands there pretty, but the most conspicuous thing is a pair of autumn water eyes, the eyes are clear, full of gentleness and peace.Yin replied: "Ma'am, the old lady just sent someone over to ask about your situation. By the way, they have prepared some experienced old nuns to deliver your baby."

Mrs. Zhang tightened her hand that was pinching the handkerchief to cover her mouth and smile, her gaze suddenly became cold, she thought for a while, and said slowly: "In that case, you go, and thank the old lady for her kindness on my behalf."

The maid promised in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and then added: "It's just that you also know that those people are not allowed to enter my room. I just sent them away to live in the corner room over there. You should take care of my daily life and food." arrange."

The servant girl agreed again, and immediately retreated.He didn't even glance at Jia Lian who was next to him halfway, but he only served the pregnant Zhang with all his heart.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her son who was staring at her belly indifferently, and sighed with a smile: "You are not too young now, why are you still so childish. This Liu Yi looks very good to me. It is also reliable to act, and when you get married, it can also be put in your room for you, and everything will be arranged for you in a safe and secure manner."

Jia Lian didn't care too much, and just replied, "I will do everything according to my mother's orders."

Unexpectedly, at the third watch of the day, Mrs. Zhang suddenly started to moan, and she just lay in the room, clutching her stomach and moaning.At this time the Elder Master Jia She was not at home, everyone had already rested, and panicked immediately upon hearing this.Jia Lian hurriedly put on his big clothes and stood guard outside the door, pacing back and forth incessantly.

The nuns who had prepared in advance came in a hurry, and then poured out pots of blood, Jia Lian's heart seemed to be roasting on the fire, with all kinds of worries and uneasiness, he couldn't help but silently repeated in his heart, wish mother and My brother is fine.But who knew, this wait was actually a whole night.Mrs. Zhang was tortured in extreme pain, but she couldn't give birth anyway, and fainted several times in the middle.

When it was dark on the second day, Mother Jia also got up and came to visit, she only looked at the closed door inscrutablely, and said quietly: "This childbirth is really a life-and-death test for a woman. It's a big deal to step into the gate of hell."

Jia Lian on the side heard the words, and immediately became angry from the heart, but in the end he was concerned about the ugly face, the word filial piety and gossip overwhelmed people.He had no choice but to clenched his palms and bit his lips, suppressing the resentment in his heart.

At this time, there was a concubine daughter named Yingchun in the big house, she was only four years old, because she was a daughter, Jia She didn't pay much attention to her.The gentle and peaceful upbringing on weekdays doesn't even dare to speak loudly.The Linglong born to his mother, Aunt Sun, has always been favored by Jia She.Yingchun was kind-hearted by nature. Hearing that her mother was struggling on that hurdle at the moment, she couldn't help but knelt down to the Bodhisattva and begged: "Believers are willing to eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, and make offerings every day. I just ask the Bodhisattva to keep my mother safe and sound."

When Aunt Sun heard this, she poked her forehead with her mouth curled up, "You girl is so stupid, she is not the mother who gave birth to you and raised you. Even if you are fine, what good will it do to you?"

Yingchun said: "Although I was not born, the grace of nurturing is still there. Besides, even if it is a stranger who has never lived, I don't want to suffer like this. What's more, I see each other every day?"

After hearing this, Aunt Sun even said that the child was so stupid that it was hopeless, and even the maids in the room couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing non-stop.Secretly thought that the second young lady was really a fool, and she was worrying about it for the head mistress who had no blood connection with her, so what benefit would she get?

Seeing that the oxytocin had been delivered to the door, but it was still several hours before the baby was born, Jia Mu was old and frail, and impatiently leaned on a cane, and asked the little girl to help her go back to the room first.Jia Lian didn't care about her, and just stared at the door wholeheartedly, longing for the news of safety.

The second wife, Mrs. Wang, made an excuse to pray for her sister-in-law and never showed up. She just stayed in her room and whispered to her confidant maid: "I think that Mrs. Zhang will not be so blessed." There was a little smile.

The servant girl also knew the trick and knew what the wife liked to hear, so she smiled and said: "Is this blessing everyone has? When my wife gave birth to Brother Bao a year ago, it was called Shun. And when he was born, he said A piece of shiny and beautiful jade is called a great fortune. How can Mrs. Zhang be as lucky as his wife, let alone give birth to an extraordinary brother. At present, it seems that whether he can survive this test is still a question. Maybe."

Hearing these words, Wang's heart was greatly relieved, she nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

It's just that they were full of calculations, but they were broken by a person who came to visit unexpectedly.The person who came was a servant of Prince Jing's family. After handing over the card, he went straight to the second master, Jia Zheng.He said: "My lord heard about Mrs. Jia's family today, and asked the little one to send the best medicinal materials."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.Normally Li Jia's Mansion doesn't have much contact with this Beijing Prince's Mansion, how come there is a talk of donating medicine all of a sudden?It's just that the other party has good intentions and is a prince of the opposite sex who has won the sacred heart. If he doesn't accept it, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the other party's kindness?

He was in such a dilemma, and the servant saw it.He smiled and said: "Master Jia, please don't worry, this is the best medicine for inducing labor dispensed by the imperial hospital. My lord is thinking that the family is a family friend with us, and saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. delivered."

Only then did Jia Zheng feel relieved, stroked his beard and said repeatedly: "Since that's the case, I would like to thank the prince for his kindness, and I will come to pay my respects afterwards."

The housekeeper resigned without mentioning it, but Jia Zheng took the small white jade bottle and sent someone to hand it to the nurse in Zhang's room.

There is only half a bottle of liquid in the small bottle, which is slightly translucent.Right now, Mrs. Zhang's condition is no longer good, and the labor-inducing medicine she drank before has no effect. The nuns are already so anxious that they treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and drink it directly for her.Unexpectedly, after taking a sip of the medicine, Zhang suddenly gained strength, and a few gleams of light appeared on his pale and bloodless face.Suddenly, the room was filled with red clouds, golden light, and a strange fragrance that lingered for a long time, and the nuns who watched were dumbfounded and couldn't stop admiring.

After a few breaths, Mrs. Zhang gave birth to a son, and both mother and child were safe.The baby's fetal hair was like ink, but the skin was not as red and wrinkled as ordinary babies, it was stretched out, like jade, glowing with luster.Although the eyes were not opened, one could already see the contours of the eyebrows and eyes as if drawn in ink, and Zhang was overjoyed to see them, regardless of his physical weakness, he could only hug this small ball of joy.

After the room was tidied up, Jia Lian also rushed in, ignoring the smell of the room, and clamored to see his brother as soon as he came in.After seeing it, he was stunned for a moment, and thought: Strange, why does this brother look so kind?

He studied it carefully again, only to find that this little baby, for some reason, had a kindness in his eyebrows, just like the benevolent Bodhisattva in the temple with flowers in his hands, with a little bit of Buddha's meaning.Just looking at it made him want to kneel down and chant scriptures and pray.

…Praying to a newborn child, Jia Lian felt that he must have had an illusion just now.

At the same time, in the palace a few miles away, a young man suddenly opened his eyes.His eyes seemed to be filled with the autumn scenery of the lake, shining and graceful, but when he looked at people, there was a kind of compassion and arrogance like a Buddha.It seems that everything in this world has entered his eyes, but never entered his eyes.

He smiled slightly, and sighed: "I've been waiting for you for so many years, and I finally hoped for you. Ah Qi, are you okay?"

As the saying goes: I have been looking forward to you for decades, and I have lived up to my infatuation for thousands of years.
