The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

生产

Hearing this, Xue Yan opened the purse and saw eight gold and silver lockets in it, she couldn't help but click her tongue and said: "Madam also treats slaves as outsiders, this is too much."

Xing said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't treat you like an outsider and use you so hard. Such a big and exquisite screen core costs three to five hundred silver outside, so I'm still in your favor. Look. You have been tired and thin for half a year, and I will let Xiaohongbao give you some bird's nest and red ginseng, so you can make up for it when you go back."

Seeing that she was hesitant, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, your wife and girl have both, and what I give you is slightly worse than theirs."

Tsk tsk, this time traveler is really considerate.After she said this, Xue Yan stopped being hypocritical: "Thank you, Uncle and Madam, for your understanding."

When the time came, the Liu family's betrothal gift was delivered without fuss.Liu Xianglian has a bold and generous personality. Although she didn't spend long time in the palace, she made many friends.This time he made a decision, and many friends brought their servants to help.A row of strong servants in Tsing Yi brought a full 36 liters of betrothal gifts.In addition to offering wine, sugar and tea, there are also twelve sets of gold and silver heads and faces, a pair of gold and jade Ruyi, countless brocades and silks of various colors, plus 880 taels of betrothal silver and eight pairs of ten taels of gold ingots, etc. wait.A total of more than 5000 silver dowry gifts are already very heavy for Yingchun's status.

In the lesser families of dukes, the children may not be able to afford so much dowry for their children's marriages.That is to say, Jia Amnesty and his wife have changed their cores now, and they are earning money well.If they were still the two people in the original book, they would have sold Yingchun a long time ago.

Arriving here, Mrs. Xing looked at the things and smiled slightly: "This son-in-law is willing." He thought that this dowry might empty out Liu Erlang's private house, but he didn't know that there were a lot of silk and satin fabrics and how many sets there were. The best heads are all added by the Liu family.She also sent someone to help clean up this dowry, otherwise, given Liu Xianglian's extravagant temperament, it would be great if she could do it for eighteen.

After all the guests had read it, Mrs. Xing waved her hand, and immediately said that except for those melon and fruit snacks, livestock sugar and tea, half of them should be returned to the man, and the rest should be reserved for the guests, and the rest should be filled in Yingchun's In the dowry.This move ushered in a body of praise.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng's eyes moved slightly. The dowry to welcome the Spring Festival was supposed to be rich. The farm house shop worth five thousand taels of silver, the gold and silver head face made of thousands of taels of silver, and the rest of the furniture and fabrics were also worth a lot. In addition, it was almost 3000 Two engagement silver.Tsk tsk, there are tens of thousands of dowry, which is no worse than my own dowry that day.Waiting for the old ladies to add more make-up, the dowry can at least be thickened by [-]%.

But thinking of the two shops and the annual pocket money that the Xing family gave her daughter a while ago, Wang Xifeng calmed down again: the wife loves the eldest sister more than the second girl, and the eldest sister's dowry will only be more generous in the future.

Although the Xing family still wanted to stay in Yingchun for another two years, Liu Xianglian was not young after all, and his family also had a mistress who could be the director of the family.Therefore, the two made a compromise with each other and set the marriage on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, which kind of means "marry a daughter-in-law to enjoy the New Year".

Daiyu went back and told Mrs. Liu about today's scene, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, the day when the second elder sister came out of the cabinet happened to be around the time when my wife gave birth..."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "What's the pity, I'm a woman giving birth, what can your little girl do, you can go when the time comes, there are hundreds of people in this house, and you must be at home? "

Just in case, the housekeeper of the Lin family invited two very experienced women to live in the mansion when they first entered Dongyue, and they took turns on duty day and night.Just in case, Lin Ruhai also arranged a few old nuns who knew how to give birth in the Liu's yard.There is also a long-standing apricot forest master in the front yard in case of accidents.

Even the nanny had prepared four of them early in the morning, all of them were carefully selected. Apart from their appearance, character and character, they really had checked the bottom of the three generations of their ancestors, and they must not let outsiders take advantage of their loopholes.

Seeing this situation, Xueyan murmured in her heart: It seems that Lin Ruhai also realized that there was something strange about the death of his wife and son, but he didn't know if he had found the murderer after all these years...

Take all precautions, something almost went wrong during Liu's delivery.It was originally estimated that the birth would be at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, but on the morning of Dongyue 26, Mrs. Liu felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she invited the doctor to check her pulse and said that she was about to give birth.Everyone hurriedly started to prepare, those who boiled water boiled water, and those who asked for a stable woman asked for a stable woman.

As a result, Liu's labor pains had just started, and the two Wen women had diarrhea one after another until they collapsed, not to mention delivering the baby, they couldn't even stand up.

But at that time, Lin Ruhai went to court, and Daiyu, a girl, was very worried, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

After seeing it one after another, several women who knew something about childbirth all said that it was Liu's dystocia, which seemed very dangerous.

He was about to invite the doctor from the front yard over to diagnose Liu's pulse, but the servant who waited on the doctor came back and said that the lady was gone.

At this point, Xue Yan would not believe that no one was interfering with it.

Seeing the mess in the courtyard, Xueyan happened to come over and tugged at her sleeves and asked, "Where is Madam Zheng? The house is in a mess now, so I should invite her to sit in charge."

"Ah? Grandma didn't expect my wife to give birth early. I heard that a Guanyin temple in the outskirts of Xicheng is very effective in praying for a child. I went out of the city to offer incense to pray for my wife yesterday." Jinxiu bit her lower lip and said, although she also gave birth to a son, But I have never encountered such a dystocia.

Xueyan stared at her for a moment, then suddenly pulled her aside and said seriously: "I don't care what you are hiding, in short, I advise you to rein in the precipice as soon as possible."

Jinxiu was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Xueyan sighed: "Sister, we grew up together, we all understand each other. I'm afraid my sister doesn't know, but whenever you are guilty of lying, your left thumb will pinch your index finger vigorously. When I felt it, I pinched out a lot of red marks."

Hearing this, Jinxiu looked at her index finger subconsciously, and seeing that there were indeed many red marks on it, she still defended herself: "Sister, you are overthinking, I am just worried about Madam..."

"At this point, what's the use of my sister's sophistry? Mother Zheng didn't go to offer incense in the morning and in the evening. Why did she go at this time? Also, last night, the wife's fetus has been stable for the past few days. After drinking the bowl of anti-abortion soup you sent me late, I suddenly felt uncomfortable when I woke up this morning? I don’t know how much that person promised you or your Zheng family, but it’s obvious that you’re trying to push yourself to death " Xueyan said viciously.

Jinxiu visibly flinched.
