Xue Jiazi

Xue Xun returned home only to rest for two days, and immediately devoted himself to the chess competition, and Xue Pan didn't have time to think about Jia Lian for a while, because he also participated in the competition, and this time was his busy time , as a contestant under the age of eight, he is still quite eye-catching.It is precisely because of his age that he has only participated in a few group matches, and this title has already been released, attracting many people to watch, and there are even many teenagers who are not convinced and want to challenge him. eliminated.

Because of this chess competition in Jinling, it became more and more lively, not only local people from Jinling, but also many surrounding people poured in. The Xue family's chess is selling even more hotly now. Seeing the popularity, Xue Xun simply decided to The magistrate was invited to serve as the judges this time, and the method given by Xue Pan was adopted. A large chessboard was made of large pieces of pig iron, and the chess pieces were made of magnets as cores. They were erected at the entrance of the teahouse where the competition was held. When waiting for the next game, it will be displayed synchronously, so that more people can feel the atmosphere of the competition.

Playing chess is not an article, it is difficult to judge, on the chessboard, losing is losing, winning is winning, very clean and neat, Xue Pan relied on his previous life accumulation, coupled with the fact that there are not many people who learn chess in this life, the most important thing is Most of the newly added chess players are beginners. Even the most powerful and smartest players have less time to practice. This gives Xue Pan an opportunity to take advantage of, not to mention the No.1 he can get. Yes, (after all, there are still many smart people in this world. Although chess is not very popular, it is not something that has never existed. It is just not valued by people. Now that there is a big competition, who knows what will come out of it Da Neng!) However, Xue Pan felt that it was still possible for him to get a relatively good ranking. His goal was to be in the top [-]. This result, considering his age, was enough for him to show off.

The Xue family is busy, not far from Yangzhou, the Lin family is also very busy, unlike the Xue family, most of their busyness is in the backyard.No way, great joy!The wife of the head of the Lin family is about to give birth. Isn't this a big deal? Not to mention how those servants are thinking so hard that they can see the healthy little master sooner. In a few months, he lost a lot of hair on the top of his head and cut his beard by one-fifth.

It can be said that Jia Min's birth this time is completely different from the original book. It can be said to be both lucky and unlucky. Fortunately, her health in this life has been much better than in the original book. More recuperation and exercise are better than when Lin Daiyu was born. Even Lin Ruhai's body has improved a lot. Because of those things that were drugged, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min cleaned up everything in the house, not even letting go of the food. They asked Liu Gongfeng to take a good look at it and gave him a lot of advice. , This made the three masters of the Lin family healthy, and even those loyal servants were also happy.

But unfortunately, just because Jia Min's body is getting better and she has paid more attention to all aspects, she has no possibility of premature delivery, and the child has been raised very well. When her round belly reaches eight months, she will be the same as her big baby. There is no difference between the ball and her body, which has never grown flesh. No matter how you look at it, you will be terrified.People have to worry about whether she will be able to give birth smoothly during this delivery.

It was because of these and other worries that Lin Ruhai's protection of Jia Min had reached a certain extreme. For example, the news from Jia's house in the capital was not revealed at all. Since Jia Min confirmed her pregnancy, these news have been A total ban has begun.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no Lin Ruhai's handwriting in the Jia family's big drama. From the time when the Shen family was asked to come forward, he actually knew in his heart that he would not get any satisfactory answer to this matter. Just because of Jia's current connections in the capital, and because of Shen's current official position, even though he was talking about the impeachment, he knew in his heart that it was very rare.As for what must be explained, it is just a gesture. After the Jia Wang family was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, as expected, from the Beijing Palace to the mansions of various princes, the four princes and eight princes all began to come forward and give the Jia family their turn. Speaking, I want the Lin family and the Shen family to stop thinking about suing the imperial court.However, even if the pressure was huge, the Lin family was not easy to deal with, so the Lin family asked the Shen family to stand up for him to eliminate the relatives of the Jia family, claiming that they would never get in touch with each other, which meant that they had withdrawn unwillingly.

The Lin family's hand is actually very beautiful. Although they didn't really sue the imperial court, but the emperor really doesn't know anything?How can this be!The arrogance of the Jia family has been completely imprinted in the emperor's heart, and the suppression of the Lin family and the Shen family by each family has also allowed the emperor to see that the four kings and eight princes are connected and related, and the network of interests that has been formed is very important for suspicious people. As far as the emperor is concerned, can he be happy to see this?

To say that the matter has come to this point, Lin Ruhai has actually taken revenge in a very subtle way, not only planting a crisis for the Jia family, but also showing weakness to the emperor, which will make his life in Yangzhou much easier in the future, look at yourself like this People with real power are so helpless, so vulnerable, doesn't it mean that they have no intention of using their power to expand their power!

But Lin Ruhai is similar to Xue Pan in one thing, that is, he is narrow-minded. Although he let Jia Wang's family enter the ancestral hall, isn't that old lady still there?Isn't Jia Zheng still tossing around in the name of the Duke's Mansion?Don't let these two completely fall down, how can he vent his anger, he is also the head of the Lin family, the head of the family of five generations of princes, not a servant of the Jia family, in charge, not someone they can scold and insult at will, this hatred But it hasn't been reported yet!How could he let it go?

Ever since, Jia She, the elder of the Jia family, had an inexplicably extra clearer by his side. This clearer had nothing but a talent for scouting out news, and he was a born spy.Not long after this person came to Jia She, many secrets that were about to be buried in the ground began to slowly surface. First, the matter of Jia Wang's corruption. This is very simple, right? It's too normal to kick a few times, and those who don't do it are probably people with brain problems.Anyway, Jia Amnesty didn't think it was wrong, he felt that this was what he had to do to really control the Jia family.

If there is a deficit and corruption, then the treasury owes money, and the servants everywhere have always ignored their side, and the old lady is not reconciled, and the Wang family is not willing to be happy. He took out the money, so in this way, the matter of copying the slave's house naturally came out.Waiting for the minions to be copied one by one, the problem is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more things are being discovered, and many things that have been done for decades have been found out. Naturally, he was pulled out, who made him the patriarch!This is related to the foundation of the Jia family's ancestors, and they really don't care about the life and death of the clan!

Needless to say!That was the death of the first wife, and the death of Jia She's first son-in-law. At this time, Jia She was really close to going crazy. He knew that his mother didn't like him, but he was still his own mother!How could it be like this, she is also the daughter-in-law and grandson of the old lady, how could she do this?No one can think about what people do when they are crazy, so even Lin Ruhai didn't expect that when Jia She had a great rise, he would use etiquette and family rules as weapons to directly kill his own mother I ransacked all the private houses, arrested all the people who were related to those incidents back then, and exposed the incidents directly in the ancestral hall. I didn't care about the Jia family's reputation, and completely built myself into a The role of the most miserable person in the capital.

The final outcome was actually predictable. Although Lin Ruhai was not able to hear some recent news in the capital like Xue Xun, he had a wider channel of news and knew more and more comprehensively. At this time, he had received The letter from the Shen family said that it was the old lady of the Jia family who had been deprived of her imperial order by the emperor, and was ordered to be imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the patriarch Jia Jing, and her name was even deleted from the genealogy. Even entering the ancestral grave is not eligible.The Wang family was also delisted by Jia Jingping.But seeing that her child was still young and hadn't started a family, for the sake of her child, the time to remove her name was put after her death.

As for Jia Zheng, there is nothing good about it. Although this old lady belongs to two brothers, this daughter-in-law belongs to him alone. Besides, none of the things these two women did was for him, so in the end he didn't know what to do. He didn't get any of them. The family just set aside a three-entry house from the Rongguo Mansion, with [-] acres of land outside, which is considered to be all of his family. Yang, oh no, five, including Tanchun and Jiahuan!No matter how busy the family was, Jia Zheng didn't delay in pampering his concubine and having children. He is really capable.

Of course, the Wang family's dowry belonged to Jia Zheng's house, but it was not Jia Zheng's, but Jia Zhu's and his three brothers and sisters'. ?still got more?Those are all ill-gotten gains, those who have embezzled the public account, so naturally they have to return to the big house, so Jia Wang's all these years are all in vain.The dowry of the old lady was counted in the same way, and then divided equally between Jia She and Jia Zheng, and all the private houses the old lady had accumulated over the past few decades went into Jia She's pocket.

Therefore, whether it is the Jia Wang family or the old lady, they lost everything in one move, and all the plans for decades have become a joke. Just like this, people in the capital still feel that the Jia family's handling is too lenient. No, it really gave the Wang family and the Shi family great face if they didn't divorce them back to their natal family.

Such a big drama, such a big event, tell me, how dare Lin Ruhai let Jia Min know?If he knew this, no matter how cold Jia Min felt towards his mother before, he might not be able to bear it, so Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say anything!Not to mention how many hands and feet I have in here, it's even more right to pretend that I haven't done it.

It’s just that I don’t know what happened today. When Jia Min went out for a walk, there happened to be a woman talking in the garden, talking about things in the capital, saying that the uncle is going to change the door plaque of Rongguo Mansion, isn’t it? Our wife, from now on, can't be regarded as the aunt of the Duke's Mansion. Jia Min felt suspicious when he heard this, and couldn't help asking a few more questions.Although the woman didn't know the real situation, she still knew about the division of the historian family, and it was clear that the old lady was imprisoned. This has become the biggest gossip in the past two years, and almost everyone in the big family knows about it. It's a big deal, I don't know where it is at all!

Hearing this, Jia Min immediately went limp.With a body that is nearly nine months old, if you fall down at this time, it means you are about to give birth!Now the whole Lin Mansion is in chaos.Lin Ruhai was worried about this son who was already confirmed to be a boy. Naturally, he also knew the so-called saying that seven lives and eight lives are not alive, and he was even more worried. He was afraid that the fetus would be stuck here before nine months Not up or down, what's wrong with being born in eight months after a narrow escape.

Doctor, Lin Ruhai is still not at ease when Wen Po has everything in order, so he asked someone to invite Liu Feng to come over, for fear that if something happens, that talkative woman will be locked up directly in the firewood room. He has no time now Chatting with them, just waiting for the child to be born, he is now highly sensitive, but he can't believe it's really a coincidence.

The folk prescription of the main courtyard, which is used as a delivery room, is coming in and out of girls and women, some are carrying hot water, some are holding white cloths, and some are boiling ginseng soup on a small red clay stove, Lin Ruhai Just keep walking in this yard, can't stop for a moment.At this time, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the back courtyard door, Lin Ruhai turned around and saw Liu Gongfeng coming in a hurry.

"Old doctor, you are here."

Seeing Liu Gongfeng, Lin Ruhai seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm. He just said this, and he didn't know what to say next. Fortunately, Liu Gongfeng is well-informed, and Lin Ruhai doesn't need to say anything to know what he means, so he just sighed, half to blame, and half to ask helplessly:

"Why is it launched at this time, isn't there still a month or so left. This is too bad time, it has not been eight months yet!"

What can Lin Ruhai say?He could only shake his head dejectedly, and blamed himself:

"Is it my fault that she accidentally heard about her natal family, that's why... hey, it's because of my lax housekeeping that this disaster happened, and I asked the old doctor to work hard to keep their mother and child. "

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was less than forty, and already had a trace of gray hair, Liu Gongfeng couldn't say anything more, and he knew his difficulties in his heart, let alone that wretched Yue family, who was far away in Yangzhou , I also heard rumors from the capital that such a Yue family can only add to the chaos, and it is also difficult for him, so Liu Gongfeng can only nod his head and say:

"Do your best."

Then he immediately asked the mother-in-law to clean up the delivery room. He was going to check Jia Min's pulse first to see the situation.

The situation is very bad, the labor pains have already begun, and the amniotic fluid also shows signs of rupture, but the birth canal has not opened. He asked his apprentices to boil the oxytocin, and asked the nanny to help Jia Min stand and walk around the room a few times, and tried every means to help open the birth canal.

Being a mother is strong. Although Jia Min was disturbed by the news of her mother's family, but at this time, she also knew that it was not a good time to think about these things, so she cooperated very much. Although she stood up and walked, she felt painful every step of the way. Cracked lungs, even very weak all over, but still gritted his teeth and persisted. After walking for a whole stick of incense, he returned to the bed and lay down. He forced himself to drink the oxytocin and a bowl of meat porridge to maintain his strength. , took the ginseng piece under the tongue, and began to exert force.

Good health is also capital!If it was Jia Min in the past, let alone walking at this time, even if she was lying down, she might not have much strength, but now she can insist on listening to the doctor's words, holding on with all her strength, seeing that the sky is starting to darken, and the effect of the oxytocin It also started, Jia Min yelled in pain, and Wen Po quickly stuffed a piece of cork in her mouth, biting desperately, until the next morning, when the sky began to brighten, it was difficult to survive. A red baby boy came out.

"It's born, it's born, ma'am, it's a brother, ma'am, it's a brother. Good luck!"

Wen Po's loud cry saved Jia Min from the endless pain. When she heard that she really gave birth to a son, Jia Min finally smiled, but at this time she had no strength anymore. The eyes just took a look at the child, and he passed out directly.

The loud crying of the baby not only filled the house with joy, but also Lin Ruhai, who had been waiting outside the house for a day and a night, finally breathed a sigh of relief. When his mother-in-law came out to congratulate him on the success of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai was already in tears. He finally After waiting for my son, I finally have a queen.

There is no need for Lin Ruhai to order the next thing. Others know what to do. Liu Gongfeng immediately asked Wen Po to tidy up the delivery room so that he could go to check the pulse. After confirming that Jia Min was just tired and dizzy, there was no serious problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief , checked the child again, confirmed that it was very healthy, there was nothing wrong with it, and there was no natural weakness, so I was satisfied, while the housekeeper of the Lin family called for people to hang small bows and arrows at the door, to prepare for the stable woman, the doctor's Rewarding silver, it turned out that he shouldn't be the one to make the decision, but seeing his master heaving a sigh of relief, just smirking and crying, he also knew that the master had no hope and could only make up his own mind.

Waiting for Lin Ruhai to wake up, this matter is basically done, at this time, Lin Ruhai, who is like a fool, has the time to think of other things, such as personally reporting his newborn son, such as asking whether his wife is healthy, such as saying hello to give a reward , For example, remembering that there is still a daughter, who has not been taken care of all day and night, and asked to be comforted, and so on.Ah, by the way, there is also the name, I should choose the best name for my son.

Lin Ruhai, who was already happy and a little distracted, ran to his study without hesitation amidst the surprised expression of the servants of the Lin family who were about to drop their jaws. The excitement on his face really shocked him. image.

Fortunately, Butler Lin is still there. He has been with Lin Ruhai for decades, and he understands his master's thoughts very well. Looking at the direction he is going, he immediately understands what the master is going to do.In a hurry, he ordered someone to make some food for the master, and then quickly followed.

"Master, our uncle weighs six catties and three taels! Although it is not a good number of six catties and nine taels, it is still very strong and must be healthy."

The butler watched Lin Ruhai flipping through the book constantly, writing words with good meanings on a piece of paper, and busy talking about Lin Ruhai, a big problem that the father had ignored for so long. He didn't ask about his birth weight, which is too unreliable. Could it be that in Lin Ruhai's eyes, as long as he is a boy, he is satisfied?Anyway, I have to raise some requirements, no, I have to be healthy, I have to stand upright, and I have to grow up!

Hearing what the butler said, Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, obviously remembering what he had overlooked just now, and this interruption finally suppressed Lin Ruhai's excited nerves, and finally realized that his state was not suitable.

"It's really not bad, um, housekeeper, find someone to report to your relatives, and someone in the clan to deliver a letter, telling them that our direct branch has an heir, and let them say it when they offer incense to the ancestors, so that they can protect the children He grows up healthy, by the way, please ask Liu Gongfeng to live in the guest house. He has been delayed for a day and a night, so he has to greet him anyway. In addition, prepare four-color gifts and take 100 taels of silver. After a while, I will deliver it to him personally go."

Finally, I thought of reporting to my relatives, which is really not easy!The housekeeper burst into tears!Master, even hanging the bow and arrow is done by the old slave. If it weren't for the old slave, no one would know that our family has a baby at this time.

"Master, you should also rest. This old slave has already hung up his bow and arrow. I'm afraid that after a while, all the families will come to congratulate you. Then you will have no time to rest. Your body is important."

Your body matters!I haven't slept all night, it's too exhausting, and it doesn't meet your intention of maintaining your health in the past few years.

"I see. What you said is that the body is important. I finally have a son. I should raise more. At least I will live for 20 years, so I can wait to see my grandson."

This son was just born, so he was thinking about his grandson. This thinking is too far away, but look at Lin Ruhai's excited, flushed cheeks and shining eyes, well, thinking about his son is about to go crazy It's rare for the old man to be crazy, so he doesn't persuade him anymore, let the master relax for a while.

"By the way, let people look at the eldest girl and bring her here when she wakes up. No one has paid attention to her all day and night. This child doesn't know how flustered she is! She doesn't know how to eat and sleep well. Is there any?"

Finally thinking of her daughter, a name suddenly flashed in Lin Ruhai's mind, and she quickly wrote it down,

"Shuo, Lin Shuo, is taken from He Yan's "Jingfu Palace Fu": a master of Confucianism, taking its meaning of erudition, and Zuo Si's "Wei Du Fu": Master of painting, the profound meaning in it, the most important thing is , as well as the strong meaning in "endurance the king's life, Ming Qi Shuo friendship", this child will definitely be a talented and healthy child in the future."

Butler Lin couldn't understand what kind of Fu and what kind of writing Lin Ruhai said, but when he heard this sound healthy and strong, he immediately laughed:

"No, we don't need to think about our children's ability to learn. It must be good. Only health and standing are the most important things, and the most important thing to pray for."

When Lin Ruhai heard it, he laughed immediately, his voice was never louder and more joyful.

"Okay, well said, hurry up, send my brother's horoscope to the temple to enshrine. By the way, I will write it too. I will write it to my ancestors. Housekeeper, I will offer incense to my ancestors when I prepare it. The Lin family has a descendant." Yes, I have a queen, named Lin Shuo."

In the end, Lin Ruhai did not rest, because as soon as the news spread that the Lin family had a son, as the biggest official in Yangzhou, the most powerful official, and the most desirable official, this visitor had become a big problem. He couldn't spare a whole day, his face was stiff with laughter, and he received a whole room of gifts, well, this child was born with wealth, which increased the Lin family's property a lot!
