[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child
Chapter 49
If it was before, Lin Liu wouldn't even hesitate, and when she learned that Feng Shi herself was looking forward to conceiving, she would use her supernatural ability to make Feng Shi conceive a child.
Firstly, this is just a matter of little effort, the energy of her powers has accumulated a lot, and there is no use for it except to send it to Jia Min; secondly, no matter in the book or in reality, she likes the little girl Zhen Yinglian very much, and if she can give her a support, She is so happy.
Women are living a difficult life, and it is a blessing to be able to help.
Making people pregnant can also reflect her own value, so that she will not think that she is just a rice bug who is raised by others and may be abandoned at any time.
But after Jia Min was pregnant with Daiyu because she didn't calculate the time of Daiyu's pregnancy before, she was a little bit resistant to making people pregnant——
Of course adults are more important than children.
But looking at Yinglian's expectant eyes, Lin Liu felt conflicted again.She thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Has Yinglian ever thought that if your mother is really pregnant, she might not care about you as much as she does now?"
In ancient times, patriarchy was serious, and no one knew whether Feng Shi was one of them.
After all, before, Feng's performance in front of everyone has always been that having a daughter is everything, and it doesn't matter whether she has a son to inherit the incense; but behind the scenes, she has been begging the gods and Buddhas to give her a child?
Yinglian's eyebrows were crooked, and although she was shy, she smiled like a little angel: "If pregnancy can make mother feel happy, even if mother will ignore me because of it, what does it matter?"
Lin Liu was dumbfounded, but she treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Besides," Yinglian looked puzzled, "my mother always said that she wanted to give birth to a younger brother, because if there is no male in the family to help me, and if I get bullied when I marry in the future, there will be no one to help me, so I want to give birth to a younger brother." I have a younger brother.
Although I don't know the relationship between the two things, I can still feel the mother's kindness. I think, if the mother really wants to conceive for me, then even if the mother ignores me because of this child, I will be happy Bar. "
Lin Liu was stunned, and turned to look at Sheng Man, only to find that she was equally moved.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Liu showed a smile: "Yinglian and your mother are both so cute. When the gods and Buddhas see each other, they must be grateful for your mother and daughter's hard work. Maybe soon, your mother will be able to fulfill her wish and conceive for you." What about the last brother?"
Regardless of whether she thinks pregnancy is good or bad, since people want it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with letting her get what she wants.
Mrs. Feng is her teacher's wife. Mrs. Zhen worked diligently to teach the Lin family's children without any secrets. As a student, she made the life of the teacher's wife's family happy, which is what she should do.
After hearing Lin Liu's words, Zhen Yinglian immediately pursed her lips and laughed.
Yinglian is still young, still in the stage of laying the foundation, and her studies are not too heavy, so she left Shengman's yard and returned to her own small yard soon.
After the people left, Sheng Man turned to look at Lin Liu: "I heard before that there is a Qilin girl in the Lin family who is in charge of delivering children. I didn't believe it before, but according to what you said before, why is it not so good to be a teacher?" confirmed?"
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Could Master Sheng also want to conceive? If so, maybe I, a Qilin girl, can really conceive you."
Sheng Man was taken aback, and hurriedly sent Lin Liu out: "Since you invited me home today, you don't need to go to class. Go back and have a good rest, and come to see me tomorrow."
Seeing that she was really frightened, Lin Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sheng Man rolled her eyes: "Go, go, staying here will only be an eyesore!"
Lin Liu didn't dare to stay, so she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.
After Lin Liu left, Sheng Man went to the window and sat down. After a while, she couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her stomach.
If that child was born, maybe it would be bigger than the little Qilin now, right?
……
After Lin Liu went out, she went straight back to her yard.
As soon as she entered the door, her face sank.
Before, she just saw Mrs. Sheng was worried, so she suppressed the worry in her mind, but when she returned to her room, the words "died at the age of three" couldn't stop appearing in front of her eyes.
It's just that many things can't be solved by thinking too much.
Lin Liu quickly adjusted her mood and became expressionless again.
But the maidservants have been with her for a long time, and they already know her deeply. When they came up to meet her and saw her gloomy eyes, they immediately realized the fact that the eldest girl was not in a happy mood.
Bichun was more courageous, and when she noticed it, she asked, "What's wrong with the eldest girl? Why did you come back with a sullen face, as if you were not in a very happy mood? But if anyone offends you, just tell me, and I will go to him immediately. You vent your anger!"
Lin Liu laughed: "Who in the entire family does not hold me up and respect me, who dares to offend me? I am just worried about my studies, it's nothing serious."
Since she said so, the maids also believed it.
One day without incident, Lin Liu rested for the whole day, and went to visit Jia Min in the main courtyard early the next morning.
Coincidentally, she saw Feng Shi in Jia Min's yard.
Lin Liu was still worrying about what kind of opportunity she had to find to get in touch with Feng Shi and get her pregnant, but now she delivered it to her door by herself, which saved her a lot of brain cells.
When she stepped forward, she realized that her wife, Sheng Man, was also sitting on the bed, but she was hidden by the screen, so she didn't see it for a while.
As soon as she saw Sheng Man, Sheng Man looked back.
Then, suddenly, he blinked at her.
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that Feng's appearance in Jia Min's room so early today must have been instigated by her teacher.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing: "Hello teacher, hello mistress."
The two waved their hands and did not see each other.
Only then did Lin Liu come forward and glanced at Jia Min who was still lying on the bed: "Is my mother tired and don't remember, or is she feeling unwell, the doctor said she should lie down and take care of her body?"
She remembered that the doctor didn't mention yesterday that Jia Min needed to lie in bed to recuperate.
Jia Min smiled: "I woke up this morning with a slight discomfort in my lower abdomen. I was worried about an accident, so I just hid myself and lay on the bed and couldn't get up. Even the breakfast was served to me by Xinghua and others. , these days really make people want to live like this forever.”
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If mother likes to lie on the bed, she can do so even if she is not pregnant."
Sheng Man joked: "If it is true as you said, do you still want your mother's reputation?"
Jia Min stretched out her hand and twisted Sheng Man's arm, and said with a smile, "I'm already old, what do I care about my reputation? Living a happy life is more important than anything else."
Sheng Man snorted lightly, obviously not believing what she said.
When she doesn't know Jia Min?Don't look at her speaking freely now, in fact, this person is the most thoughtful, and it is easy to think too much when encountering something, but most of the time it is just asking for trouble.
only……
Sheng Man looked at Jia Min carefully, and saw that the worry on her brows had faded away, so she understood why she said this: After all, it's because the life is too comfortable now, the heart is relieved, and the mood is naturally better.
Several people chatted and laughed, and soon it was time for Lin Liu to go to class.
After Lin Liu saluted respectfully, she said goodbye.
Jia Min wanted to get up to see her off, but Sheng Man who was sitting next to her quickly pushed her onto the bed: "You don't know that little Qilin is always worried about you? What are you doing when you get up? Lie down and take care of your body. Your health is better than anything else." good."
"Besides," Sheng Man said with a smile, "have you forgotten that I am the teacher of Little Qilin? She is leaving, so naturally I can't stay long. You, don't worry about it."
Lin Liu followed suit: "Master is right, mother, please take good care of yourself and don't worry about me. There are only a few steps from the main courtyard to the teacher's place, and there are many servants watching on the road, so don't let me fall, you Don't worry about me."
Jia Min had no choice but to lie on the bed obediently.
Seeing that both Sheng Man and Lin Liu had left, Mrs. Feng wanted to leave, but Lin Liu sat down on her shoulders: "Master, please do me a favor, and just stay here and talk to my mother to relieve boredom, otherwise she will not be able to sleep on the bed." I won't be lying down for long."
Feng Shi and Jia Min had a good relationship, so they sat down quietly after hearing this.
It's just that she was a little worried about her daughter, so she asked, "Yinglian has just woken up at this time, although there is a maid waiting by her side, I don't feel relieved. I have to trouble little Qilin to go over and take her to class together."
Before Lin Liu could speak, Sheng Man said, "I'm just standing here at my age, how did you all manage to ignore me? Could it be that I can't pick up my own students in person?"
Feng squeezed her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile: "I would like to ask you, just one thing, don't you want to get in touch with those stinky men? Why, isn't my Shi Yin considered a stinky man with you?"
Sheng Man frowned: "As long as it's a man!"
but……
Sheng Man turned to look at Lin Liu, "Little Qilin is only so old, can you do it?"
Lin Liu turned her head and nodded at Sheng Man: "Students handle affairs, Master just rest assured that everything will be done properly."
Sheng Man nodded, and then stopped talking.
Jia Min was speechless: "You said you made a fuss, besides wasting time, what exactly are you doing?"
Sheng Man snorted, turned and left.
Jia Min and Feng Shi burst out laughing immediately, as if they were afraid that Sheng Man would not hear their own laughter, they changed their usual reserved manner, laughing so that the whole house trembled a few times.
Sheng Man: "..."
When she went out with Lin Liu, Sheng Man couldn't help but glared at her: "Who am I doing this for? You didn't speak for the teacher before."
Lin Liu had a sullen face at first, but she couldn't help it when she heard this, and she also laughed.
Sheng Man: "..."
Forget it, all of them are heartless.
Sheng Man walked away, and soon left Jia Min's yard.Lin Liu was worried that she would be really angry, so she took two steps at a time, and hurriedly followed.
Sheng Man's yard is not too far from Lin Liu's yard, and it is also very close to Zhen's yard.The courtyard of the Zhen family is close to the corner gate, so it is convenient for the family to come and go, and it will not make Zhen Shiyin abrupt.
The master and apprentice walked forward all the way, and broke up when they reached Sheng Man's courtyard. Lin Liu continued to move forward, and soon came to Zhen's courtyard.
Coincidentally, after finishing washing, Yinglian went out with her maid.
Seeing Lin Liu, Yinglian rushed forward immediately: "Sister Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Liu took Yinglian's hand and said with a smile: "Auntie saw that my mother was bored by herself, so she kindly stayed there to chat with my mother to relieve boredom. I just couldn't worry about you, so I came to pick you up, and then we went together Attend class."
Yinglian immediately pursed her lips and laughed: "Thank you, Sister Lin."
Lin Liu reached out and stroked her hair, without saying a word, she led her back to Sheng Man's yard.
After a period of time, the Lin family lived a very peaceful life.
But when Jia Min was three months pregnant, the entire Lin family couldn't calm down——
As the old doctor said, Jia Min's pregnancy is not only difficult, but she also needs to be extra careful during the pregnancy. If there is any disturbance, the child will be frightened.
Since the fetus was three months old, the pregnancy reaction of this period immediately found Jia Min.Especially morning sickness, Jia Min vomited almost all day long, and after vomiting, there was nothing to eat.
However, the development of the fetus needs nutrition. If Jia Min doesn't eat anything, the fetus will have to absorb the mother's nutrition for its own development.
In just over a month, Jia Min was tossed so hard by this child that his eyes were blind and black, and he was scary just looking at him.
Lin Liu would report to Jia Min's courtyard every day, watching her lose weight every day, although it was shocking, it was not frightened. Not less.
But Jia Min found out that she was fine in the first two months of pregnancy. After her pregnancy reaction started, the twins were too scared to get close to her after seeing her lose weight day by day.
Especially in one of them, the twins happened to witness Jia Min spitting out the food with a grim expression just after eating, and they were so scared that they turned around and ran away.If it weren't for the big brother Guiling who was pressing down, and Lin Ruhai and Lin Liu were there to comfort them, the twins might not dare to go to the main courtyard in the future.
Even if I went, the next moment I saw Jia Min, I would burst into tears. I don't know if it was because of being scared, or because Jia Min suffered from distress.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai even thought about having an abortion.
"I already have three sons, and whether this child is born or not is not important to me and the Lin family." But in just a few months, Lin Ruhai's attitude towards this child has changed from anticipation and joy at the beginning to a new one. It has become the loathing of today, "On the contrary, Min'er was tormented by this child and almost lost half of her life. To her, this child is not like a treasure bestowed by heaven, but more like a life-killing talisman who came to collect debts. "
Lin Liu couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing Lin Ruhai's remarks.
Isn't it the death talisman?After the child was conceived, he not only tormented Jia Min every day, but also died without a break after birth...
Looking at Jia Min's current appearance, even Lin Liu couldn't help but anger this unborn child.
She likes children very much, but this child...
Lin Ruhai's abortion plan failed after all.Because she was worried about Jia Min's sadness, Lin Ruhai had been hiding Jia Min's knowledge of the doctor's prescription for abortion medicine. Even the medicine was cooked without telling her. Just waiting for it to be mixed with anti-fetal medicine could completely end the child's life.
But before he acted, Jia Min discovered clues from his abnormal words and deeds, and after some questioning, his plan was completely exposed.
Jia Min had a big fight with Lin Ruhai and drove Lin Ruhai out of the main courtyard that night.
Lin Ruhai was bitter and unspeakable, and went to Xiao Qilin to complain: "Is it not for her good to be a father? My Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and I have only had three sons and daughters until I come here. Don't I want to spread branches and leaves for the Lin family and add a few more?" A child? Who in the world doesn't want more children and more blessings, but look at your mother now, if this child stays in her womb, who knows how much your mother will suffer for him?"
Lin Ruhai is a very pure ancient man, but compared to other men, he is more enlightened and respects his wife more.
But after more than ten years of being threatened by the Lin family's extinction, and being chased and scolded for not having children for more than ten years, doesn't Lin Ruhai want to have more sons?Whether it's for him or the Lin family, having more children is only good, not bad.
But he still proposed abortion when Jia Min was suffering...
Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Lin Liu herself was very envious. Even in modern times, there are not so many husbands who can make such a choice between wife and children.
But you can't say that Jia Min is wrong.
She is the one who is pregnant, and she is the one who has been expecting the birth of this child since she was pregnant.Others, even Lin Ruhai and Lin Liu, were not purely happy with this child, but rather complicated.
In terms of affection, no one has a deeper affection for this child than Jia Min.
If you say it for her own good, you will abort her long-awaited child without her consent...
From Jia Min's point of view, Lin Liu himself could not accept it.
But from the daughter's point of view, Lin Liu agreed with Lin Ruhai's approach.So she still persuaded him quite patiently, and sat with him at the gate of the main courtyard for one night.
Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai wiped his face, then quietly went back to the main courtyard and changed his clothes, and then quietly left the courtyard to go to the yamen on duty.
Lin Liu sighed, went back to her yard to wash up, had breakfast again, didn't talk about going to bed, just changed her clothes and went to the main courtyard to visit Jia Min.
Jia Min lay on the bed, as if still sleeping.
Lin Liu paused, hesitating whether to leave directly, but before turning around, he heard a sob.
Lin Liu froze all over, completely at a loss.
After hesitating for a long time, she went to the edge of the bed and sat down, and explained to Lin Ruhai in a low voice: "The changes in mother these days are really scary, let alone the father who sleeps with you every day, even the daughter is scared Not light."
"Don't look at your father's face, but he was actually frightened. Several times, my daughter saw her father with red eyes."
"He really cares about you."
"Mother hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time, right? You don't know that you have nothing but skin and bones except for your belly. Father was also very conflicted at first, wondering whether he should do anything to this child."
"It's just that between your mother and your own flesh and blood, your father cares more about you, so you will do something wrong in the end. Mother, you can blame your father, but there is no need to be sad about it. It is very hurtful, for you and your children Neither is good."
After Lin Liu finished speaking, the room was completely silent, and there was no sound for a long time.
After a while, when Lin Liu wondered if Jia Min had fallen asleep, she suddenly said, "I know why your father did this. I just, just blame myself for not being able to keep this child."
As a mother, no one understands the state of the child in her stomach better than Jia Min. She is very clear that not only is her body getting weaker day by day, but also the vitality of the child is slowly disappearing in her morning sickness day after day ...
She even worried that before long, Ru Hai would not need to drug the child, and he would leave her.
Jia Min's anger towards Lin Ruhai, apart from feeling that it was too cruel for him to get rid of the child without telling her, was actually more about venting his fears during this period of time.
Lin Liu fell silent, she is not a god, she is no different from an ordinary person except for one supernatural ability, she really doesn't know how to solve this matter.
Fortunately, Jia Min didn't want Lin Liu to solve the problem. After she said what was simmering in her heart, her expression relaxed a lot.
Lin Liu helped her to sit up, and the tears on Jia Min's face were already dry.
Worried that Jia Min would miss her child again, Lin Liu blinked and said a happy event to attract her attention: "Speaking of it, in seven or eight days, Daiyu will be one year old, mother, look, our sisters will do it when they are one year old." Daiyu can't be an exception when it comes to the Zhou banquet, right?"
Jia Min was taken aback, and then patted her forehead angrily: "Look at my memory, I even forgot such an important day, it's really unreasonable."
Lin Liu smiled and said: "Mother is still pregnant with a child, I can't ask you to come forward to organize Daiyu's Zhouzhou banquet, can I? It's better to let my elder sister come forward. Although I am young, I have Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Feng who can ask about it." If you are not sure, you can come and ask your mother. Just rest assured, there is really no need to worry too much. "
After finishing speaking, she asked again, "It's just that Daiyu will prepare for Zhou Zhou's things, mother must remember to tell me, otherwise, if there is any mistake in the Zhou Zhou banquet, Daiyu will find out in the future, I'm afraid I will be blamed. "
After Jia Min listened to it, she didn't care about getting lost. She focused on recalling the things she had prepared for the children: "The Four Treasures of the Study, Swords, Swords and Halberds, Books, and Small Abacus..."
Lin Liu hurriedly interrupted: "This is a major event in Daiyu's life, but it must not be sloppy. It is said that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, mother, wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch the four treasures of the study, and I will record them in black and white. Come down, it will not be easy to miss."
In fact, Lin Liu has experienced so many Zhou Catch banquets, and even remembers her own clearly, so why can't she remember what should be put in Catch Zhou banquets?
It's just that Jia Min is in a bad mood right now, and it's good for her to adjust her mood by having something to divert her attention.
While ordering the maid to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, Lin Liu specially called Liang Xia and asked her to go to the two masters to take a leave of absence for herself, so that the masters would not see her for a long time and worry about what happened to her.
All day long, Lin Liu stayed by Jia Min's bedside.
The mother and daughter talked one after another, and quickly discussed all the matters that Daiyu should pay attention to in the Zhou banquet in a few days later, and nothing was missed.
And at this time, Lin Ruhai also came back with a loose value.
He stood in front of the main room, still hesitating, wondering if his wife was still angry.
Nuan Dong, who had been guarding the middle hall, came forward and said in a low voice: "The eldest girl was in the wife's room today to discuss the second girl's Zhou banquet with her, and they chatted all day. I heard that the wife's mood is much better than yesterday. Daddy The girl asked the servant to wait here to remind you, and you can go directly to the house after you come back from the balance, and apologize to the wife, and the wife will definitely not blame you."
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.
Just the thought of apologizing made me a little unhappy.
Nuan Dong hurriedly persuaded: "The eldest lady said that a man can bend and stretch, so you should treat it as a coaxing wife and just say a few more nice words."
Lin Ruhai laughed and shook his head: "This ghost!"
But after all, he listened to Lin Liu's words in his heart, nodded to Nuan Dong, and went straight across the screen into the back room.
Jia Min was talking happily with Lin Liu. When he saw Lin Ruhai coming in, he curled his lips, threw off the quilt and lay down on the bed, making it clear that he didn't want to see him.
Lin Ruhai stood there in embarrassment, unable to advance or retreat for a while.
Lin Liu got up quietly, walked to Lin Ruhai and said in a low voice, "Mother just can't keep her face for a while, if you say a few nice words, mother will forgive you."
He raised his voice and said, "Mom, since the father is here, the daughter will not stay here to disturb your husband and wife. The daughter will leave first, so you don't want to quarrel anymore."
After she finished speaking, she went straight out of the back room.
Soon, there was a chattering sound from the back room.Lin Liu stood in the middle hall and waited for a while, but didn't hear any quarrel, so she left the main room with her in peace.
Perhaps this conversation was effective, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's husband and wife soon returned to normal.
At this time, I have to be thankful that Lin Ruhai did not bring the three aunts to Jinling during this foreign appointment. Otherwise, if the husband and wife quarrel, even if the three aunts are peaceful, they may want to reconcile. It's not that easy either.
Soon, it was the day when Daiyu caught the Zhou banquet.
Although Jia Min was pregnant with a child and it was inconvenient to entertain guests in person, she showed her face with the help of a maid.
Although Lin Ruhai didn't have much foundation in Jinling, the second rank of the official residence was considered to be a powerful one in Jinling. Those who received the invitation would naturally not disrespect the Lin family, and they all came with their families.
Daiyu was carried out by Feng Shi.
Worried that Daiyu would be frightened by the crowd outside, Lin Liu kept following them.
But her worry was obviously superfluous. Although Daiyu kept staring at her brothers, sisters and other familiar people, she didn't show any timidity in the face of the huge crowd around her.
Although quiet, it is quite generous.
Not long after, Daiyu was put on a soft couch full of things to catch Zhou.
Like the previous children, Daiyu's objects in her grasp today are also miniature objects made of gold by a craftsman.These things were placed on the table, and the sun shone down, shining golden and straight.
Many people were dumbfounded, and had a lot of guesses about the Lin family's family background.
The other guests just lamented that the Lin family is low-key, and they can bear it even though they have a rich family background, so they don't reveal their wealth easily outside.
But Zhen Yingjia who came here today, her expression is not so beautiful——
Not long ago, his son's Catch the Zhou Banquet was a scandal, although the root cause was the quarrel between the wife and concubine in the back house, which made him a joke at the second son's Catch the Zhou Banquet.But the concubine was able to succeed in her calculations because of the bright colors of rouge and gouache, and children are not visually sensitive, so they prefer to grab those gorgeous things.
Now seeing that the objects used by the Lin family to catch Zhou are actually made of gold, they are all the same color, even if someone wants to repeat the same trick, it is impossible to succeed.
When Zhen Yingjia saw her, she always felt that Lin Ruhai had learned a lesson from his second son's Zhou Catch Banquet, and that's why he had this incident.
Although the Lin family's actions won't affect him, he just doesn't feel happy.
His complexion was ugly, and the people around him naturally noticed it at a glance.
Many officials didn't dare to offend them, so they just pretended not to see them, and talked quietly to other people, unwilling to talk to him.
Could it be that Jiang Ningzhi felt that he owed Lin Ruhai, and seeing Zhen Yingjia's misunderstanding, he walked up to him and pretended to explain casually: "Brother Zhen, don't think that the Lin family's daily life is very low-key, but in fact his family's wealth has been accumulated for generations. Not much worse than the Zhen family."
"My former fellow townsman once told me that the Zhou Zhou objects prepared by the Lin family for each child were all made of gold by well-known craftsmen. I still didn't believe it. Now that I saw it, I realized that I was short-sighted and underestimated the wealth accumulated by the Lin family. the ability."
As soon as the words fell, Zhen Yingjia's expression froze.
When he turned his gaze, he inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that other people's gazes were on the second girl of the Lin family who was on the roof.
Fortunately, he didn't show it too clearly before, otherwise people would see him, and he should be said to be narrow-minded.
Jiang Ning glanced at the expression on his face from the corner of his eye, chuckled secretly in his heart, and then retreated and turned to talk to other people, which did not pierce his deception.
At this time, under Lin Ruhai's guidance, Daiyu began to look around on the soft bed, and then headed towards the Four Treasures of the Study and the books with a clear goal, and climbed between the two in a short while.
She raised her hand to sweep away all the surrounding objects, then sat down in front of the Four Treasures of the Study and the books, stared at them for a long time, and then grabbed them from left to right.
Lin Ruhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are these children in my family so greedy? Other children always only catch one thing, but my children rarely catch two things."
The others couldn't help but ask carefully, Lin Ruhai explained, "My parents' son and eldest daughter are not bad. They have a stable temperament and know how to choose. They only caught one at the Zhou banquet. But the second son and the third son made a bad mistake for the girl. One caught two things, and the other simply gathered all the objects used to catch Zhou into a pile, and pressed them directly with his own small body, which is really dumbfounding."
The others couldn't help being amazed after hearing this, and they were curious about the twins of Lin Ruhai's second son and third son.
The twins also came today, but they are small ghosts. Lin Ruhai was worried that they would mess around at the Catch Zhou banquet, so he asked someone to carry them to the back, and did not let them get close to the place where Daiyu Caught Zhou.
Seeing that other people wanted to see their own children, Lin Ruhai called all the children to his front as if showing off.
Even Lin Liu was no exception.
When the sisters stood in a row under Lin Ruhai's arrangement, although the children in that row looked unlovable, they were clearly healthy and intelligent children. Indeed, many people were envious and red-eyed.
Lin Ruhai got great satisfaction from the reactions of these people, she was all smiles throughout the Zhou Catch Banquet, and her good mood never faded away.
Although Lin Liu was the only one preparing for this Zhou Catch Banquet, the whole process was flawless, and it came to the last link quite smoothly——
Have a feast.
Because the food at the banquet is carefully selected by several chefs in the house, combined with some not-so-secret things that the Lin family has inquired about, such as the hometown of each guest, or whether any guest is allergic to certain ingredients, etc. The news was arranged, and when the banquet started and various meals were served, the guests were very happy.
Some guests who missed their hometown had red eyes, and many food lovers ate greasy food regardless of their image.
However, there was still a small episode in the middle——
When the servant girl brought a plate of steamed fish, Feng suddenly vomited continuously.
Lin Liu was taken aback, and wanted to help her to another place, but was rejected by Feng who was worried about her.But she couldn't stand the smell of fish, so she could only sit in the corner.
Lin Liu couldn't help it, so she had to send someone to invite the imperial physician to examine her pulse.
Unexpectedly, the doctor found out that Feng Shi was pregnant.
Zhen Shiyin was watching from the side, and when the doctor told the news that his wife was pregnant, he burst into laughter immediately.He is over half a hundred years old and finally got a son, so naturally he cherishes this fetus very much and does not allow any accidents to happen.
He immediately went to Lin Ruhai to confess his crime, and then personally protected Feng Shi back to his yard.Seeing that her father was worried, Yinglian followed behind him and trotted home.
Someone found out the good news at the catch-up banquet, which can be described as a happy event, so the banquet became more and more lively.
After being busy for a long time, the Lin family sent all the guests out of the house until the sun went down, and Daiyu's Zhou Catch Banquet came to a successful conclusion.
Because at the beginning, Feng Shi was invited to help entertain the female relatives, and Lin Liu was there to assist, but later Feng Shi found out that she was pregnant, so Lin Liu could only go to the battle in person, at most, Sheng Man was invited to help, so it was the first time such a big Lin Liu, who was exercising vigorously, was not surprisingly tired.
The servant girl felt distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly advised her to go back and rest.
Lin Liu was indeed tired, and it was rare for her maid to accompany her to pay her respects to her parents——
If he walked alone like before, his legs would be weak on the road and he would be bad if he fell on the ground.
A group of people slowly moved towards the main courtyard, and arrived in a short while.
When she arrived, Lin Ruhai and Guiling were also there.
Lin Liu thought they would have sad faces: no matter how much fun they had at the Catch the Week banquet just now, after seeing Jia Min's thin body, it would be difficult to show a smile.
But he never thought that Lin Ruhai and others were sitting around Jia Min's bed, but they were all smiling.
Lin Liu was a little dazed: "Father, mother, what good thing happened? Don't tell me why everyone is so happy."
Jia Min rarely showed a smile: "Your father made a fuss. I just ate a bowl of rice at noon. What's the big deal? But he seemed to have seen some strange news. He called the imperial doctor and sent someone to look at it. I eat, I haven't eaten for a long time, how can I eat so much? The imperial doctor really reprimanded him after knowing the consequences."
Lin Ruhai was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "I just sent the last guest away, and seeing that your younger brothers were too sleepy to open their eyes, I simply brought them over to say hello to your mother, and then I was going to let them go. rest."
Because of the absence of the hostess, the entire Lin family was extremely busy today. Even the three Guiling brothers were assigned by Lin Liu to entertain the children, so at the end of the day, everyone was indeed tired.
But Lin Ruhai and the others, who were supposed to be listless, were in high spirits at this time, as if they had never experienced a day's fatigue.
Even Jia Min had a smile all over his face, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"I didn't expect to see your mother eating when I came here." Lin Ruhai said here, his eyes were full of relaxation, "Although it was only a bowl of sweet potato porridge, your mother ate a full bowl, and she has never eaten it since then. Vomiting really made Wei father very happy."
Lin Liu also became energetic at this moment: "Do you know the reason?"
Lin Ruhai shook her head: "The doctor doesn't know either. I just said that I will observe it for a day tomorrow. If the food goes well, it means that the pregnancy reaction has passed, and your mother can eat as usual in the future."
This is really good news!
No wonder the father and the others were smiling. Even when she knew about it, the corners of her mouth always wanted to turn up.
After all, it was late today, and everyone was indeed tired. After talking for a while, the whole family took their maids and servants back to their rooms.
Before leaving, Ji Song glanced at Daiyu who was on Jia Min's bed, and asked, "Second Miss will sleep in the wife's room tonight, or should I take her back to the West Wing?"
As soon as Ji Song finished speaking, Jia Min turned sideways to look at her daughter, revealing the figure of Xiao Daiyu who was sleeping soundly beside her pillow.
For the past few days, Lin Liu has been carrying Daiyu to the main room to meet Jia Min. Lin Liu will naturally take Daiyu away when he leaves. The mother and daughter have not been together for a long time, so it is inevitable that they feel a little bit reluctant.
But Lin Ruhai said decisively: "It's rare for you to eat a bowl of porridge today, maybe you can relax at night, so don't leave the child in the main room, lest Daiyu wake you up at night."
Jia Min thought about it, and nodded in agreement with Lin Ruhai's words.
Lin Liu beckoned and called the maid who was waiting in the room, and waited for her to hold Daiyu in her arms, then left the main room with her younger brothers, Ji Song and others.
After that, they went back to their homes and rested.
I thought that Jia Min's condition would improve the next day, but unexpectedly, the result broke everyone's expectations——
When Jia Min had his meal in the morning, although the same bowl of sweet potato porridge was brought out from the kitchen,
Firstly, this is just a matter of little effort, the energy of her powers has accumulated a lot, and there is no use for it except to send it to Jia Min; secondly, no matter in the book or in reality, she likes the little girl Zhen Yinglian very much, and if she can give her a support, She is so happy.
Women are living a difficult life, and it is a blessing to be able to help.
Making people pregnant can also reflect her own value, so that she will not think that she is just a rice bug who is raised by others and may be abandoned at any time.
But after Jia Min was pregnant with Daiyu because she didn't calculate the time of Daiyu's pregnancy before, she was a little bit resistant to making people pregnant——
Of course adults are more important than children.
But looking at Yinglian's expectant eyes, Lin Liu felt conflicted again.She thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Has Yinglian ever thought that if your mother is really pregnant, she might not care about you as much as she does now?"
In ancient times, patriarchy was serious, and no one knew whether Feng Shi was one of them.
After all, before, Feng's performance in front of everyone has always been that having a daughter is everything, and it doesn't matter whether she has a son to inherit the incense; but behind the scenes, she has been begging the gods and Buddhas to give her a child?
Yinglian's eyebrows were crooked, and although she was shy, she smiled like a little angel: "If pregnancy can make mother feel happy, even if mother will ignore me because of it, what does it matter?"
Lin Liu was dumbfounded, but she treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Besides," Yinglian looked puzzled, "my mother always said that she wanted to give birth to a younger brother, because if there is no male in the family to help me, and if I get bullied when I marry in the future, there will be no one to help me, so I want to give birth to a younger brother." I have a younger brother.
Although I don't know the relationship between the two things, I can still feel the mother's kindness. I think, if the mother really wants to conceive for me, then even if the mother ignores me because of this child, I will be happy Bar. "
Lin Liu was stunned, and turned to look at Sheng Man, only to find that she was equally moved.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Liu showed a smile: "Yinglian and your mother are both so cute. When the gods and Buddhas see each other, they must be grateful for your mother and daughter's hard work. Maybe soon, your mother will be able to fulfill her wish and conceive for you." What about the last brother?"
Regardless of whether she thinks pregnancy is good or bad, since people want it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with letting her get what she wants.
Mrs. Feng is her teacher's wife. Mrs. Zhen worked diligently to teach the Lin family's children without any secrets. As a student, she made the life of the teacher's wife's family happy, which is what she should do.
After hearing Lin Liu's words, Zhen Yinglian immediately pursed her lips and laughed.
Yinglian is still young, still in the stage of laying the foundation, and her studies are not too heavy, so she left Shengman's yard and returned to her own small yard soon.
After the people left, Sheng Man turned to look at Lin Liu: "I heard before that there is a Qilin girl in the Lin family who is in charge of delivering children. I didn't believe it before, but according to what you said before, why is it not so good to be a teacher?" confirmed?"
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Could Master Sheng also want to conceive? If so, maybe I, a Qilin girl, can really conceive you."
Sheng Man was taken aback, and hurriedly sent Lin Liu out: "Since you invited me home today, you don't need to go to class. Go back and have a good rest, and come to see me tomorrow."
Seeing that she was really frightened, Lin Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sheng Man rolled her eyes: "Go, go, staying here will only be an eyesore!"
Lin Liu didn't dare to stay, so she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.
After Lin Liu left, Sheng Man went to the window and sat down. After a while, she couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her stomach.
If that child was born, maybe it would be bigger than the little Qilin now, right?
……
After Lin Liu went out, she went straight back to her yard.
As soon as she entered the door, her face sank.
Before, she just saw Mrs. Sheng was worried, so she suppressed the worry in her mind, but when she returned to her room, the words "died at the age of three" couldn't stop appearing in front of her eyes.
It's just that many things can't be solved by thinking too much.
Lin Liu quickly adjusted her mood and became expressionless again.
But the maidservants have been with her for a long time, and they already know her deeply. When they came up to meet her and saw her gloomy eyes, they immediately realized the fact that the eldest girl was not in a happy mood.
Bichun was more courageous, and when she noticed it, she asked, "What's wrong with the eldest girl? Why did you come back with a sullen face, as if you were not in a very happy mood? But if anyone offends you, just tell me, and I will go to him immediately. You vent your anger!"
Lin Liu laughed: "Who in the entire family does not hold me up and respect me, who dares to offend me? I am just worried about my studies, it's nothing serious."
Since she said so, the maids also believed it.
One day without incident, Lin Liu rested for the whole day, and went to visit Jia Min in the main courtyard early the next morning.
Coincidentally, she saw Feng Shi in Jia Min's yard.
Lin Liu was still worrying about what kind of opportunity she had to find to get in touch with Feng Shi and get her pregnant, but now she delivered it to her door by herself, which saved her a lot of brain cells.
When she stepped forward, she realized that her wife, Sheng Man, was also sitting on the bed, but she was hidden by the screen, so she didn't see it for a while.
As soon as she saw Sheng Man, Sheng Man looked back.
Then, suddenly, he blinked at her.
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that Feng's appearance in Jia Min's room so early today must have been instigated by her teacher.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing: "Hello teacher, hello mistress."
The two waved their hands and did not see each other.
Only then did Lin Liu come forward and glanced at Jia Min who was still lying on the bed: "Is my mother tired and don't remember, or is she feeling unwell, the doctor said she should lie down and take care of her body?"
She remembered that the doctor didn't mention yesterday that Jia Min needed to lie in bed to recuperate.
Jia Min smiled: "I woke up this morning with a slight discomfort in my lower abdomen. I was worried about an accident, so I just hid myself and lay on the bed and couldn't get up. Even the breakfast was served to me by Xinghua and others. , these days really make people want to live like this forever.”
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If mother likes to lie on the bed, she can do so even if she is not pregnant."
Sheng Man joked: "If it is true as you said, do you still want your mother's reputation?"
Jia Min stretched out her hand and twisted Sheng Man's arm, and said with a smile, "I'm already old, what do I care about my reputation? Living a happy life is more important than anything else."
Sheng Man snorted lightly, obviously not believing what she said.
When she doesn't know Jia Min?Don't look at her speaking freely now, in fact, this person is the most thoughtful, and it is easy to think too much when encountering something, but most of the time it is just asking for trouble.
only……
Sheng Man looked at Jia Min carefully, and saw that the worry on her brows had faded away, so she understood why she said this: After all, it's because the life is too comfortable now, the heart is relieved, and the mood is naturally better.
Several people chatted and laughed, and soon it was time for Lin Liu to go to class.
After Lin Liu saluted respectfully, she said goodbye.
Jia Min wanted to get up to see her off, but Sheng Man who was sitting next to her quickly pushed her onto the bed: "You don't know that little Qilin is always worried about you? What are you doing when you get up? Lie down and take care of your body. Your health is better than anything else." good."
"Besides," Sheng Man said with a smile, "have you forgotten that I am the teacher of Little Qilin? She is leaving, so naturally I can't stay long. You, don't worry about it."
Lin Liu followed suit: "Master is right, mother, please take good care of yourself and don't worry about me. There are only a few steps from the main courtyard to the teacher's place, and there are many servants watching on the road, so don't let me fall, you Don't worry about me."
Jia Min had no choice but to lie on the bed obediently.
Seeing that both Sheng Man and Lin Liu had left, Mrs. Feng wanted to leave, but Lin Liu sat down on her shoulders: "Master, please do me a favor, and just stay here and talk to my mother to relieve boredom, otherwise she will not be able to sleep on the bed." I won't be lying down for long."
Feng Shi and Jia Min had a good relationship, so they sat down quietly after hearing this.
It's just that she was a little worried about her daughter, so she asked, "Yinglian has just woken up at this time, although there is a maid waiting by her side, I don't feel relieved. I have to trouble little Qilin to go over and take her to class together."
Before Lin Liu could speak, Sheng Man said, "I'm just standing here at my age, how did you all manage to ignore me? Could it be that I can't pick up my own students in person?"
Feng squeezed her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile: "I would like to ask you, just one thing, don't you want to get in touch with those stinky men? Why, isn't my Shi Yin considered a stinky man with you?"
Sheng Man frowned: "As long as it's a man!"
but……
Sheng Man turned to look at Lin Liu, "Little Qilin is only so old, can you do it?"
Lin Liu turned her head and nodded at Sheng Man: "Students handle affairs, Master just rest assured that everything will be done properly."
Sheng Man nodded, and then stopped talking.
Jia Min was speechless: "You said you made a fuss, besides wasting time, what exactly are you doing?"
Sheng Man snorted, turned and left.
Jia Min and Feng Shi burst out laughing immediately, as if they were afraid that Sheng Man would not hear their own laughter, they changed their usual reserved manner, laughing so that the whole house trembled a few times.
Sheng Man: "..."
When she went out with Lin Liu, Sheng Man couldn't help but glared at her: "Who am I doing this for? You didn't speak for the teacher before."
Lin Liu had a sullen face at first, but she couldn't help it when she heard this, and she also laughed.
Sheng Man: "..."
Forget it, all of them are heartless.
Sheng Man walked away, and soon left Jia Min's yard.Lin Liu was worried that she would be really angry, so she took two steps at a time, and hurriedly followed.
Sheng Man's yard is not too far from Lin Liu's yard, and it is also very close to Zhen's yard.The courtyard of the Zhen family is close to the corner gate, so it is convenient for the family to come and go, and it will not make Zhen Shiyin abrupt.
The master and apprentice walked forward all the way, and broke up when they reached Sheng Man's courtyard. Lin Liu continued to move forward, and soon came to Zhen's courtyard.
Coincidentally, after finishing washing, Yinglian went out with her maid.
Seeing Lin Liu, Yinglian rushed forward immediately: "Sister Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Liu took Yinglian's hand and said with a smile: "Auntie saw that my mother was bored by herself, so she kindly stayed there to chat with my mother to relieve boredom. I just couldn't worry about you, so I came to pick you up, and then we went together Attend class."
Yinglian immediately pursed her lips and laughed: "Thank you, Sister Lin."
Lin Liu reached out and stroked her hair, without saying a word, she led her back to Sheng Man's yard.
After a period of time, the Lin family lived a very peaceful life.
But when Jia Min was three months pregnant, the entire Lin family couldn't calm down——
As the old doctor said, Jia Min's pregnancy is not only difficult, but she also needs to be extra careful during the pregnancy. If there is any disturbance, the child will be frightened.
Since the fetus was three months old, the pregnancy reaction of this period immediately found Jia Min.Especially morning sickness, Jia Min vomited almost all day long, and after vomiting, there was nothing to eat.
However, the development of the fetus needs nutrition. If Jia Min doesn't eat anything, the fetus will have to absorb the mother's nutrition for its own development.
In just over a month, Jia Min was tossed so hard by this child that his eyes were blind and black, and he was scary just looking at him.
Lin Liu would report to Jia Min's courtyard every day, watching her lose weight every day, although it was shocking, it was not frightened. Not less.
But Jia Min found out that she was fine in the first two months of pregnancy. After her pregnancy reaction started, the twins were too scared to get close to her after seeing her lose weight day by day.
Especially in one of them, the twins happened to witness Jia Min spitting out the food with a grim expression just after eating, and they were so scared that they turned around and ran away.If it weren't for the big brother Guiling who was pressing down, and Lin Ruhai and Lin Liu were there to comfort them, the twins might not dare to go to the main courtyard in the future.
Even if I went, the next moment I saw Jia Min, I would burst into tears. I don't know if it was because of being scared, or because Jia Min suffered from distress.
After a long time, Lin Ruhai even thought about having an abortion.
"I already have three sons, and whether this child is born or not is not important to me and the Lin family." But in just a few months, Lin Ruhai's attitude towards this child has changed from anticipation and joy at the beginning to a new one. It has become the loathing of today, "On the contrary, Min'er was tormented by this child and almost lost half of her life. To her, this child is not like a treasure bestowed by heaven, but more like a life-killing talisman who came to collect debts. "
Lin Liu couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing Lin Ruhai's remarks.
Isn't it the death talisman?After the child was conceived, he not only tormented Jia Min every day, but also died without a break after birth...
Looking at Jia Min's current appearance, even Lin Liu couldn't help but anger this unborn child.
She likes children very much, but this child...
Lin Ruhai's abortion plan failed after all.Because she was worried about Jia Min's sadness, Lin Ruhai had been hiding Jia Min's knowledge of the doctor's prescription for abortion medicine. Even the medicine was cooked without telling her. Just waiting for it to be mixed with anti-fetal medicine could completely end the child's life.
But before he acted, Jia Min discovered clues from his abnormal words and deeds, and after some questioning, his plan was completely exposed.
Jia Min had a big fight with Lin Ruhai and drove Lin Ruhai out of the main courtyard that night.
Lin Ruhai was bitter and unspeakable, and went to Xiao Qilin to complain: "Is it not for her good to be a father? My Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and I have only had three sons and daughters until I come here. Don't I want to spread branches and leaves for the Lin family and add a few more?" A child? Who in the world doesn't want more children and more blessings, but look at your mother now, if this child stays in her womb, who knows how much your mother will suffer for him?"
Lin Ruhai is a very pure ancient man, but compared to other men, he is more enlightened and respects his wife more.
But after more than ten years of being threatened by the Lin family's extinction, and being chased and scolded for not having children for more than ten years, doesn't Lin Ruhai want to have more sons?Whether it's for him or the Lin family, having more children is only good, not bad.
But he still proposed abortion when Jia Min was suffering...
Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Lin Liu herself was very envious. Even in modern times, there are not so many husbands who can make such a choice between wife and children.
But you can't say that Jia Min is wrong.
She is the one who is pregnant, and she is the one who has been expecting the birth of this child since she was pregnant.Others, even Lin Ruhai and Lin Liu, were not purely happy with this child, but rather complicated.
In terms of affection, no one has a deeper affection for this child than Jia Min.
If you say it for her own good, you will abort her long-awaited child without her consent...
From Jia Min's point of view, Lin Liu himself could not accept it.
But from the daughter's point of view, Lin Liu agreed with Lin Ruhai's approach.So she still persuaded him quite patiently, and sat with him at the gate of the main courtyard for one night.
Early the next morning, Lin Ruhai wiped his face, then quietly went back to the main courtyard and changed his clothes, and then quietly left the courtyard to go to the yamen on duty.
Lin Liu sighed, went back to her yard to wash up, had breakfast again, didn't talk about going to bed, just changed her clothes and went to the main courtyard to visit Jia Min.
Jia Min lay on the bed, as if still sleeping.
Lin Liu paused, hesitating whether to leave directly, but before turning around, he heard a sob.
Lin Liu froze all over, completely at a loss.
After hesitating for a long time, she went to the edge of the bed and sat down, and explained to Lin Ruhai in a low voice: "The changes in mother these days are really scary, let alone the father who sleeps with you every day, even the daughter is scared Not light."
"Don't look at your father's face, but he was actually frightened. Several times, my daughter saw her father with red eyes."
"He really cares about you."
"Mother hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time, right? You don't know that you have nothing but skin and bones except for your belly. Father was also very conflicted at first, wondering whether he should do anything to this child."
"It's just that between your mother and your own flesh and blood, your father cares more about you, so you will do something wrong in the end. Mother, you can blame your father, but there is no need to be sad about it. It is very hurtful, for you and your children Neither is good."
After Lin Liu finished speaking, the room was completely silent, and there was no sound for a long time.
After a while, when Lin Liu wondered if Jia Min had fallen asleep, she suddenly said, "I know why your father did this. I just, just blame myself for not being able to keep this child."
As a mother, no one understands the state of the child in her stomach better than Jia Min. She is very clear that not only is her body getting weaker day by day, but also the vitality of the child is slowly disappearing in her morning sickness day after day ...
She even worried that before long, Ru Hai would not need to drug the child, and he would leave her.
Jia Min's anger towards Lin Ruhai, apart from feeling that it was too cruel for him to get rid of the child without telling her, was actually more about venting his fears during this period of time.
Lin Liu fell silent, she is not a god, she is no different from an ordinary person except for one supernatural ability, she really doesn't know how to solve this matter.
Fortunately, Jia Min didn't want Lin Liu to solve the problem. After she said what was simmering in her heart, her expression relaxed a lot.
Lin Liu helped her to sit up, and the tears on Jia Min's face were already dry.
Worried that Jia Min would miss her child again, Lin Liu blinked and said a happy event to attract her attention: "Speaking of it, in seven or eight days, Daiyu will be one year old, mother, look, our sisters will do it when they are one year old." Daiyu can't be an exception when it comes to the Zhou banquet, right?"
Jia Min was taken aback, and then patted her forehead angrily: "Look at my memory, I even forgot such an important day, it's really unreasonable."
Lin Liu smiled and said: "Mother is still pregnant with a child, I can't ask you to come forward to organize Daiyu's Zhouzhou banquet, can I? It's better to let my elder sister come forward. Although I am young, I have Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Feng who can ask about it." If you are not sure, you can come and ask your mother. Just rest assured, there is really no need to worry too much. "
After finishing speaking, she asked again, "It's just that Daiyu will prepare for Zhou Zhou's things, mother must remember to tell me, otherwise, if there is any mistake in the Zhou Zhou banquet, Daiyu will find out in the future, I'm afraid I will be blamed. "
After Jia Min listened to it, she didn't care about getting lost. She focused on recalling the things she had prepared for the children: "The Four Treasures of the Study, Swords, Swords and Halberds, Books, and Small Abacus..."
Lin Liu hurriedly interrupted: "This is a major event in Daiyu's life, but it must not be sloppy. It is said that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, mother, wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch the four treasures of the study, and I will record them in black and white. Come down, it will not be easy to miss."
In fact, Lin Liu has experienced so many Zhou Catch banquets, and even remembers her own clearly, so why can't she remember what should be put in Catch Zhou banquets?
It's just that Jia Min is in a bad mood right now, and it's good for her to adjust her mood by having something to divert her attention.
While ordering the maid to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, Lin Liu specially called Liang Xia and asked her to go to the two masters to take a leave of absence for herself, so that the masters would not see her for a long time and worry about what happened to her.
All day long, Lin Liu stayed by Jia Min's bedside.
The mother and daughter talked one after another, and quickly discussed all the matters that Daiyu should pay attention to in the Zhou banquet in a few days later, and nothing was missed.
And at this time, Lin Ruhai also came back with a loose value.
He stood in front of the main room, still hesitating, wondering if his wife was still angry.
Nuan Dong, who had been guarding the middle hall, came forward and said in a low voice: "The eldest girl was in the wife's room today to discuss the second girl's Zhou banquet with her, and they chatted all day. I heard that the wife's mood is much better than yesterday. Daddy The girl asked the servant to wait here to remind you, and you can go directly to the house after you come back from the balance, and apologize to the wife, and the wife will definitely not blame you."
Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.
Just the thought of apologizing made me a little unhappy.
Nuan Dong hurriedly persuaded: "The eldest lady said that a man can bend and stretch, so you should treat it as a coaxing wife and just say a few more nice words."
Lin Ruhai laughed and shook his head: "This ghost!"
But after all, he listened to Lin Liu's words in his heart, nodded to Nuan Dong, and went straight across the screen into the back room.
Jia Min was talking happily with Lin Liu. When he saw Lin Ruhai coming in, he curled his lips, threw off the quilt and lay down on the bed, making it clear that he didn't want to see him.
Lin Ruhai stood there in embarrassment, unable to advance or retreat for a while.
Lin Liu got up quietly, walked to Lin Ruhai and said in a low voice, "Mother just can't keep her face for a while, if you say a few nice words, mother will forgive you."
He raised his voice and said, "Mom, since the father is here, the daughter will not stay here to disturb your husband and wife. The daughter will leave first, so you don't want to quarrel anymore."
After she finished speaking, she went straight out of the back room.
Soon, there was a chattering sound from the back room.Lin Liu stood in the middle hall and waited for a while, but didn't hear any quarrel, so she left the main room with her in peace.
Perhaps this conversation was effective, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's husband and wife soon returned to normal.
At this time, I have to be thankful that Lin Ruhai did not bring the three aunts to Jinling during this foreign appointment. Otherwise, if the husband and wife quarrel, even if the three aunts are peaceful, they may want to reconcile. It's not that easy either.
Soon, it was the day when Daiyu caught the Zhou banquet.
Although Jia Min was pregnant with a child and it was inconvenient to entertain guests in person, she showed her face with the help of a maid.
Although Lin Ruhai didn't have much foundation in Jinling, the second rank of the official residence was considered to be a powerful one in Jinling. Those who received the invitation would naturally not disrespect the Lin family, and they all came with their families.
Daiyu was carried out by Feng Shi.
Worried that Daiyu would be frightened by the crowd outside, Lin Liu kept following them.
But her worry was obviously superfluous. Although Daiyu kept staring at her brothers, sisters and other familiar people, she didn't show any timidity in the face of the huge crowd around her.
Although quiet, it is quite generous.
Not long after, Daiyu was put on a soft couch full of things to catch Zhou.
Like the previous children, Daiyu's objects in her grasp today are also miniature objects made of gold by a craftsman.These things were placed on the table, and the sun shone down, shining golden and straight.
Many people were dumbfounded, and had a lot of guesses about the Lin family's family background.
The other guests just lamented that the Lin family is low-key, and they can bear it even though they have a rich family background, so they don't reveal their wealth easily outside.
But Zhen Yingjia who came here today, her expression is not so beautiful——
Not long ago, his son's Catch the Zhou Banquet was a scandal, although the root cause was the quarrel between the wife and concubine in the back house, which made him a joke at the second son's Catch the Zhou Banquet.But the concubine was able to succeed in her calculations because of the bright colors of rouge and gouache, and children are not visually sensitive, so they prefer to grab those gorgeous things.
Now seeing that the objects used by the Lin family to catch Zhou are actually made of gold, they are all the same color, even if someone wants to repeat the same trick, it is impossible to succeed.
When Zhen Yingjia saw her, she always felt that Lin Ruhai had learned a lesson from his second son's Zhou Catch Banquet, and that's why he had this incident.
Although the Lin family's actions won't affect him, he just doesn't feel happy.
His complexion was ugly, and the people around him naturally noticed it at a glance.
Many officials didn't dare to offend them, so they just pretended not to see them, and talked quietly to other people, unwilling to talk to him.
Could it be that Jiang Ningzhi felt that he owed Lin Ruhai, and seeing Zhen Yingjia's misunderstanding, he walked up to him and pretended to explain casually: "Brother Zhen, don't think that the Lin family's daily life is very low-key, but in fact his family's wealth has been accumulated for generations. Not much worse than the Zhen family."
"My former fellow townsman once told me that the Zhou Zhou objects prepared by the Lin family for each child were all made of gold by well-known craftsmen. I still didn't believe it. Now that I saw it, I realized that I was short-sighted and underestimated the wealth accumulated by the Lin family. the ability."
As soon as the words fell, Zhen Yingjia's expression froze.
When he turned his gaze, he inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that other people's gazes were on the second girl of the Lin family who was on the roof.
Fortunately, he didn't show it too clearly before, otherwise people would see him, and he should be said to be narrow-minded.
Jiang Ning glanced at the expression on his face from the corner of his eye, chuckled secretly in his heart, and then retreated and turned to talk to other people, which did not pierce his deception.
At this time, under Lin Ruhai's guidance, Daiyu began to look around on the soft bed, and then headed towards the Four Treasures of the Study and the books with a clear goal, and climbed between the two in a short while.
She raised her hand to sweep away all the surrounding objects, then sat down in front of the Four Treasures of the Study and the books, stared at them for a long time, and then grabbed them from left to right.
Lin Ruhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are these children in my family so greedy? Other children always only catch one thing, but my children rarely catch two things."
The others couldn't help but ask carefully, Lin Ruhai explained, "My parents' son and eldest daughter are not bad. They have a stable temperament and know how to choose. They only caught one at the Zhou banquet. But the second son and the third son made a bad mistake for the girl. One caught two things, and the other simply gathered all the objects used to catch Zhou into a pile, and pressed them directly with his own small body, which is really dumbfounding."
The others couldn't help being amazed after hearing this, and they were curious about the twins of Lin Ruhai's second son and third son.
The twins also came today, but they are small ghosts. Lin Ruhai was worried that they would mess around at the Catch Zhou banquet, so he asked someone to carry them to the back, and did not let them get close to the place where Daiyu Caught Zhou.
Seeing that other people wanted to see their own children, Lin Ruhai called all the children to his front as if showing off.
Even Lin Liu was no exception.
When the sisters stood in a row under Lin Ruhai's arrangement, although the children in that row looked unlovable, they were clearly healthy and intelligent children. Indeed, many people were envious and red-eyed.
Lin Ruhai got great satisfaction from the reactions of these people, she was all smiles throughout the Zhou Catch Banquet, and her good mood never faded away.
Although Lin Liu was the only one preparing for this Zhou Catch Banquet, the whole process was flawless, and it came to the last link quite smoothly——
Have a feast.
Because the food at the banquet is carefully selected by several chefs in the house, combined with some not-so-secret things that the Lin family has inquired about, such as the hometown of each guest, or whether any guest is allergic to certain ingredients, etc. The news was arranged, and when the banquet started and various meals were served, the guests were very happy.
Some guests who missed their hometown had red eyes, and many food lovers ate greasy food regardless of their image.
However, there was still a small episode in the middle——
When the servant girl brought a plate of steamed fish, Feng suddenly vomited continuously.
Lin Liu was taken aback, and wanted to help her to another place, but was rejected by Feng who was worried about her.But she couldn't stand the smell of fish, so she could only sit in the corner.
Lin Liu couldn't help it, so she had to send someone to invite the imperial physician to examine her pulse.
Unexpectedly, the doctor found out that Feng Shi was pregnant.
Zhen Shiyin was watching from the side, and when the doctor told the news that his wife was pregnant, he burst into laughter immediately.He is over half a hundred years old and finally got a son, so naturally he cherishes this fetus very much and does not allow any accidents to happen.
He immediately went to Lin Ruhai to confess his crime, and then personally protected Feng Shi back to his yard.Seeing that her father was worried, Yinglian followed behind him and trotted home.
Someone found out the good news at the catch-up banquet, which can be described as a happy event, so the banquet became more and more lively.
After being busy for a long time, the Lin family sent all the guests out of the house until the sun went down, and Daiyu's Zhou Catch Banquet came to a successful conclusion.
Because at the beginning, Feng Shi was invited to help entertain the female relatives, and Lin Liu was there to assist, but later Feng Shi found out that she was pregnant, so Lin Liu could only go to the battle in person, at most, Sheng Man was invited to help, so it was the first time such a big Lin Liu, who was exercising vigorously, was not surprisingly tired.
The servant girl felt distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly advised her to go back and rest.
Lin Liu was indeed tired, and it was rare for her maid to accompany her to pay her respects to her parents——
If he walked alone like before, his legs would be weak on the road and he would be bad if he fell on the ground.
A group of people slowly moved towards the main courtyard, and arrived in a short while.
When she arrived, Lin Ruhai and Guiling were also there.
Lin Liu thought they would have sad faces: no matter how much fun they had at the Catch the Week banquet just now, after seeing Jia Min's thin body, it would be difficult to show a smile.
But he never thought that Lin Ruhai and others were sitting around Jia Min's bed, but they were all smiling.
Lin Liu was a little dazed: "Father, mother, what good thing happened? Don't tell me why everyone is so happy."
Jia Min rarely showed a smile: "Your father made a fuss. I just ate a bowl of rice at noon. What's the big deal? But he seemed to have seen some strange news. He called the imperial doctor and sent someone to look at it. I eat, I haven't eaten for a long time, how can I eat so much? The imperial doctor really reprimanded him after knowing the consequences."
Lin Ruhai was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "I just sent the last guest away, and seeing that your younger brothers were too sleepy to open their eyes, I simply brought them over to say hello to your mother, and then I was going to let them go. rest."
Because of the absence of the hostess, the entire Lin family was extremely busy today. Even the three Guiling brothers were assigned by Lin Liu to entertain the children, so at the end of the day, everyone was indeed tired.
But Lin Ruhai and the others, who were supposed to be listless, were in high spirits at this time, as if they had never experienced a day's fatigue.
Even Jia Min had a smile all over his face, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"I didn't expect to see your mother eating when I came here." Lin Ruhai said here, his eyes were full of relaxation, "Although it was only a bowl of sweet potato porridge, your mother ate a full bowl, and she has never eaten it since then. Vomiting really made Wei father very happy."
Lin Liu also became energetic at this moment: "Do you know the reason?"
Lin Ruhai shook her head: "The doctor doesn't know either. I just said that I will observe it for a day tomorrow. If the food goes well, it means that the pregnancy reaction has passed, and your mother can eat as usual in the future."
This is really good news!
No wonder the father and the others were smiling. Even when she knew about it, the corners of her mouth always wanted to turn up.
After all, it was late today, and everyone was indeed tired. After talking for a while, the whole family took their maids and servants back to their rooms.
Before leaving, Ji Song glanced at Daiyu who was on Jia Min's bed, and asked, "Second Miss will sleep in the wife's room tonight, or should I take her back to the West Wing?"
As soon as Ji Song finished speaking, Jia Min turned sideways to look at her daughter, revealing the figure of Xiao Daiyu who was sleeping soundly beside her pillow.
For the past few days, Lin Liu has been carrying Daiyu to the main room to meet Jia Min. Lin Liu will naturally take Daiyu away when he leaves. The mother and daughter have not been together for a long time, so it is inevitable that they feel a little bit reluctant.
But Lin Ruhai said decisively: "It's rare for you to eat a bowl of porridge today, maybe you can relax at night, so don't leave the child in the main room, lest Daiyu wake you up at night."
Jia Min thought about it, and nodded in agreement with Lin Ruhai's words.
Lin Liu beckoned and called the maid who was waiting in the room, and waited for her to hold Daiyu in her arms, then left the main room with her younger brothers, Ji Song and others.
After that, they went back to their homes and rested.
I thought that Jia Min's condition would improve the next day, but unexpectedly, the result broke everyone's expectations——
When Jia Min had his meal in the morning, although the same bowl of sweet potato porridge was brought out from the kitchen,
