Daughter of the Red Chamber should be self-improvement

Chapter 59: The Infatuated Woman Meets the Ruthless Man

When Tuobinian heard the credential of the Yuezhi Kingdom in the main hall, the beauty he was thinking about had become someone else's wife.The emperor Tuo Bozhe naturally had no doubts about Yuezhi Kingdom's request.Xiu Huanzhigui is the eldest son of the King of the Yuezhi Kingdom, and he is only seeking to marry the daughter of the royal merchant of the Great Xia Dynasty, so why not?And why not?Tuo Bo Zhe naturally hit the mark with a swipe of his pen, and besides being happy, he also rewarded Xue Mansion with many things.

Although Tuobinian was furious, there was nothing he could do.Now it is not a family matter, but a state matter.Father's impression of him is already in decline, so naturally he can't make any mistakes in such trivial matters.He could only vent his anger on the housekeeper after returning to the house, scolded him severely, and changed the monthly bill for half a year before he gave up.The butler had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.

Aunt Xue finally settled her worries, so she was naturally very happy.Busily began to prepare for Baochai's dowry.The wedding date is set at the end of the year. Although Aunt Xue has already prepared, she will add something every year in the past few years.But after this matter was really put on the agenda, Aunt Xue found that there were still many things to do.Xiu Huanzhi did it completely in accordance with the customs of the Central Plains.That is to say, the six ceremonies must be completely completed, that is, the six procedures of Nacai, Asking Names, Najib, Nazheng, Asking for a Date, and Greeting in person.

The letter of credence of the Queen of the Yuezhi Kingdom can be regarded as a formal acceptance gift.However, Xiu Huanzhi still invited another famous matchmaker in the capital - nicknamed Wu Renneng.This Wu Renneng also has a background. This matchmaker was originally surnamed Wu, and she has achieved many good things in her life. Many marriages of young masters and young ladies of the big families in the capital, and even county kings and princesses, were often arranged by her. .Everyone said that no one could match him, but it happened that his surname was Wu. Over time, he got the nickname of Wu Renneng.Although this person also has some bad habits of those matchmakers, but generally speaking, he is kind and honest, not the kind of ordinary matchmakers who step on the low and rise high, and are born with a vision of wealth and wealth.

For this already settled marriage, Matchmaker Wu naturally couldn't wish for it, but it was just a way out, but it was definitely beneficial.Any matchmaker wants to do such a good thing, so don't worry about it.It was a good day, Matchmaker Wu washed and dressed, and went to Xue's house.

Aunt Xue heard the messenger report that a matchmaker came to the door, so she naturally understood what was going on.He hurriedly asked Liuli, the eldest maid beside him, to take the guests to drink tea in the main hall first, and then he would go right away.Another big maid, Manao hurriedly stepped forward to re-comb Aunt Xue's goose gall heart bun, and brought Aunt Xue's jewelry box to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue rummaged through it for a while, and finally chose a red gold set. Head inlaid with amber.The agate hurriedly took it out and put it on carefully with Aunt Xue.A maid who was standing next to her had already taken eight long skirts in concubine-colored smoked gauze that Aunt Xue had chosen. On them were Chengyun Embroidery, which took half a year for Suzhou's top embroiderers to embroider.The jacket is a carmine-red brocade short jacket, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, and nothing else, only a branch of green calyx old wintersweet embroidered with straight needle embroidery on the hem of the skirt.Its momentum is horizontal and slanting, spreading upwards, lifelike, like plum fragrance filling the nose.The skill is superb, which is amazing!Aunt Xue looked around and felt satisfied.Then he helped Agate's hand and went into the main hall.

Naturally, the matchmaker Wu congratulated her one after another, and then personally presented the rare white geese that Xiu Huanzhi shot down on Yanqi Mountain.I heard the matchmaker Wu say: "Congratulations madam! Congratulations madam! I have been a matchmaker for so many years, and it is one of the few times I have seen this wild goose gift made of white geese! I heard from the old man that this white goose is rare. It is also the most difficult to find, and most of them are the leading geese in the flock. It is extremely difficult to hunt. It is rare for ordinary people to see them, let alone used as a wild goose gift. In recent years, the world has become more and more popular, and there are many people I used the wooden goose instead. It’s rare to see such a serious matter as the man’s family, who went to the mountains to hunt in person as a gift of acceptance. His sincerity can be seen.” Not to mention Wu matchmaker, even Aunt Xue did not Thinking that Xiu Huanzhi actually found such a rare white goose.My heart is naturally flattered.Then Matchmaker Wu invited Baochai's birth date and boudoir name.Aunt Xue handed Baochai's Geng Tie that she had prepared long ago to Matchmaker Wu, and sealed another red seal of ten taels of silver and stuffed it into Matchmaker Wu's hands.The matchmaker Wu naturally accepted happily.After a few more gossips, Matchmaker Wu said Wanfu and went back.Aunt Xue naturally sent her proper mother-in-law to deliver it to the door.

Xiu Huanzhi took his and Baochai's Geng Tie and went to the Dabei Temple in Yanran Mountain to find Master Yunkong, the host there, for divination.But it was a sign of great auspiciousness made in heaven, and overjoyed, she sent the Wu matchmaker to tell the Xue family the good news, and Aunt Xue was also so happy that she recited Buddha's name.At the same time, Xiu Huanzhi also wrote a few engagement dates and asked Aunt Xue to finalize them.Because of such a major event, Xiu Huanzhi's parents had to come, and the journey really took some time.So, the earliest days are also after January.Aunt Xue is not in a hurry now.Naturally, she didn't want Baochai's marriage to be too brief.Besides, the daughter-in-law is due to give birth in five or six months, and it is not good for the two things to conflict.They chose a date four months later to get engaged.Although Xiu Huanzhi was a little unhappy, there was nothing he could do.Daiyu explained Aunt Xue's thoughts to Xiu Huanzhi, and Xiu Huanzhi no longer complained.

In May, the weather is uncommonly hot.Xiren's belly is unusually big, but Baoyu still has no news.Xiren is like the rightful owner of Yihong Courtyard, who wants to eat and drink, and beats and scolds the maids and wives below him physically.The people below put all their energy into serving this aunt-to-be, for fear that if she was not careful, she would be punished, which is still light.Not pleasing to the eye, there are not a few little maids who are sold to unknown places.It is impossible for Mrs. Wang not to know about the commotion in Yihong Courtyard, although Mrs. Wang doesn't quite approve of this behavior.However, since she was pregnant with the seed of the Jia family, Mrs. Wang just turned a blind eye.Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't speak, Xiren thought it was to support him.But more and more I don't know where I am.Alas, things in the world are probably like this, there are always some guys who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

The delivery date is just a few days away, and the midwife has already been invited, and she is already on standby in the mansion for a few days.Or Xiren doesn't necessarily know how to attract Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang, the child in Xiren's belly, has 12 hopes.After all, this is her first grandchild.

The pomegranate blossoms are blooming just right, and the large expanses are like burning clouds.Xiren was taking a walk in the yard, looking at the bright red in full swing, he was very proud: this is the first great-grandson of the Jia family!A mother is more expensive than a child. With this child, no matter what kind of wealth, even Mrs. Wang has to think highly of herself.Musk Moon helped hold a purple cloud umbrella made of Hangzhou poplin, and came up with this idea because it was too hot for people.

As he was walking, Xiren felt a stabbing pain in his abdomen.She couldn't help but grabbed Sheyue's hand and said, "Quickly tell the midwife, I'm afraid she's about to give birth." The long nails were almost embedded in Muskyue's flesh, and the purple cloud umbrella in Muskyue's hand almost fell out of the pain.Seeing Xiren like this, it must have been in severe pain.Musk Moon is also someone who has never experienced such a thing.Couldn't help but get a little angry, and hurriedly shouted: "Come here quickly, my aunt is about to give birth!" After Musk Moon claimed to be Xiren and was slapped, now she also understands that Xiren is probably not the same girl who used to be with her in the past. The little girl in the same room.But his own master.

All of a sudden, there was chaos in the yard, and the voice of the midwife was heard repeatedly.Naturally, someone has already passed on the news here to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang also knew that it was just these few days.After getting the news, he rushed over without stopping.When Mrs. Wang arrived at Yihong Courtyard, the midwife had already arrived.Xiren was carried to a wing room on the side of Yihong Courtyard by several strong women.The midwife looked at Xiren's situation, but said: "This grandma is the first child, I'm afraid it's still early! The cervix has not yet opened, and I'm afraid it will be tonight if I really want to give birth. I'm afraid there may not be one at this time tomorrow." Mrs. Wang is someone who has been there, so she naturally understands that the first child will inevitably be slower.It is also common to give birth to two or three days.Therefore, I asked the kitchen to prepare old ginseng soup at all times, and boiled several large pots of water for later use.Among them, an old midwife quietly pulled Mrs. Wang aside and said, "I would like to ask Madam to worry about it. This grandma in the house must be serving delicious food and drink on weekdays. I just touched her." Touch, I'm afraid the child is not young. If something unexpected happens, Madam, please decide whether to protect the adult or the child."

The children delivered by the midwife are not one or two anymore, and she has seen a lot about the aunt of the rich family who wants to have an heir.There are not a few people who are jealous and take the opportunity to kill their aunts.Mrs. Wang was taken aback, she had never expected such a situation.The midwife said: "Ma'am, don't worry too much, it's just a speculation of the old man, it can't be accurate. It's not impossible for adults and children to be safe."

Before Mrs. Wang could think it through clearly, the attackers over there screamed again.The midwife also hurried away.

Xiren never imagined that there would be such pain in the world, and wave after wave of pain made Xiren instantly regret having this child.Only the belief of wealth supported Xiren to survive the pain again and again.The sheets were scratched by the attackers, and the long nails that had been carefully maintained in the past were broken one by one.At the beginning, the attacker still yelled like killing a pig.At night, Xiren was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to cry out.Throughout the day, I only used some old ginseng soup, and I really couldn't eat anything else.It's not that I'm not hungry, it's that I don't have the energy to eat.Mrs. Wang came and went, left and came again.Even the old lady was alarmed, and ordered a big girl named Qing Ming to come and see her.At night, the attacker was still alive.Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and heard the midwife say that she was afraid that she would lose tomorrow.Then he ordered: Call her when there is news.Then he went back to his yard to rest.

On the second day at Yinshi, Mrs. Wang hadn't woken up yet, but she heard someone outside the second door yelling loudly: "It's not good, my aunt has collapsed with blood, please come over immediately!" .Caiyun and Caixia who were serving outside naturally also heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly put on their clothes and came in to wait.Quickly changed Mrs. Wang's clothes and combed her hair.Then he hurried to Yihong Courtyard.

Yihong Courtyard was already in a mess at this time.I saw a few strong women carrying a basin of blood and water out.Mrs. Wang was also secretly terrified when she saw it.The midwife who had greeted Mrs. Wang in advance came to see the master.She hurried forward and said: "Madam is here, please speak outside." This woman doesn't want to discuss these issues in front of Xiren, which will definitely affect the mood of the mother.I'm afraid it will be more difficult to live.Mrs. Wang nodded and followed the woman outside the house.

About to hear the sound of talking in the room, the woman stopped: "This grandma's situation is very bad. Earlier, the child couldn't get into the basin, but when she got into the basin, the position was not suitable. Okay. It's easy to toss and turn, but the mother is bleeding profusely. Judging by the mother's appearance, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for long. Besides, the child won't be able to stay inside after a day and a night. If it's the same thing, please make a decision early!"

Mrs. Wang said without even thinking about it: "Of course it is to protect the young!" The woman was not surprised, she just said: "It's easy to deal with if there is a wife, and it's not too late. I will follow my wife's order and go." It's done." Then he turned and went back to the house.Mrs. Wang recited Buddha secretly: It's not that I intend to harm you, it's really my only choice!

At this time, the attacker didn't even hear the cry.I saw the women changing the hot water again and again.Not long after, a loud cry of a baby was heard inside along with the rising sun.Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, her whole body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.
