Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 29 Wang Xifeng Gets a Son ([-])

Since Jia Baoyu got to know Yuan, not to mention how happy Jia Mu and Jia Zheng and his wife were, only that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang really regarded him as an adult from then on.Jia's mother gave him a sum of money and told him to use it for human relations, etc. Jia Zheng and his wife gave him some extra, just asking him to socialize more with his classmates, and when visiting seniors with his teacher, he should not be stingy about spending.Mrs. Wang also took care of him more and more loosely.Baoyu now not only goes to Xu Zhengling's class, and Xu Zhengling takes him to visit some teachers and great scholars, but also often communicates with other aristocratic children and classmates who have won the Juren, and Mrs. Wang doesn't care much about them.He was only told not to spend the night outside, and Mrs. Wang didn't care how much money he had paid to his friends.It's just that under Xu Zhengling's many years of teaching, Baoyu has a good idea of ​​the interests of the family and the classmates. Although Mrs. Wang does not restrain her, he will not do anything too outrageous.

Wang Xifeng is about to give birth.In addition to Jia's mother's concern, Mrs. Wang also takes care of her from time to time.Because I often tell pregnant women what to pay attention to, I also take Jia Yao and the others with me, so that they can listen and learn more or less.Because Sister Feng was conceived in March this year, it must be cold when the baby is born.Mrs. Wang had already asked the needleworkers to prepare the newborn baby's winter clothes and the baby's quilt and diapers.Wang Xifeng's relationship with Jia Lian improved unprecedentedly because of her pregnancy and secondly because of decentralization. Originally, Wang Xifeng was pretty and had an interesting personality, and Jia Lian liked her very much.It's just because Wang Xifeng didn't give birth to him a child, and he was always close to the second room, so he felt a little uncomfortable.Jia Lian was originally the second son of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, and since he was a child, he had an excellent elder brother Jia Hu in front of him, and his father was not very harsh on his stubbornness.He is good-looking and has a sweet mouth, so he is loved by his mother and ancestors.But later, as if it happened overnight, the eldest brother died, and not long after, the mother also went.The father married another petty second wife.Although he knew that his stepmother was used to provoking troubles, but his father saw him not making progress and severely scolded him. Because he didn't take the initiative to approach him, the old ancestor became less fond of him as he grew older. Although Jia Lian didn't tell anyone At first, there was also a pain in my heart.It seemed that the happy and happy family suddenly became strange and indifferent, Jia Lian couldn't accept it.Since then, under Jia Amnesty's anger, Mrs. Xing's malicious provocation, and Jia's mother's gradual alienation, Jia Lian has grown up.On the surface, he is suave and glib, but in his heart he longs for a warm and happy family.

Ever since she married Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian thought she was pretty good to her.Even though she is the second wife - his aunt's niece.Wang Xifeng is also considerate, and is also very capable in handling housework.However, Jia Lian felt that something was missing.Wang Xifeng didn't believe him, and he didn't agree with him from the bottom of his heart.It's not that Wang Xifeng treats him badly, but that she is always on guard against him and planning for herself.For example, he loves to exercise power and collect money, and he sees it all.Perhaps it was because of his father's lustful reputation, Wang Xifeng always guarded him like a thief.It's just that he didn't have a concubine before she came in, and she hasn't had a child for so many years, and he still hasn't mentioned the matter of taking a concubine.Did she really think that she was afraid of Wang Xifeng's identity as Miss Wang's family?He is the eldest son of the eldest son, and he will inherit Rongguo Mansion in the future. Even his uncle Jia Zheng has one or two concubines. As the heir, why should he care too much about her status as Miss Wang's family!It's just that he wants a son-in-law, but he doesn't want his son to live in the anxiety of lack of love like himself.He doesn't have a roommate with his aunt, one is to show her face, and the other is that he doesn't want to embarrass his future son-in-law.From this, it can be seen how much he wants to have a child.Since his wife can't give him the feeling of home, he is especially eager for heirs.He thought that if he had a son, he would definitely raise him well from an early age.They won't beat him for a disagreement, and they won't scold him for not being motivated because he can't read well or practice martial arts well.

However, Wang Xifeng has been in the family for so many years, but he still doesn't have a son and a half daughter.Seeing that his wife seemed only interested in collecting money and power, he felt a little cold, and he didn't even think about having a son-in-law anymore.If it doesn't work, just mention an aunt.He began to have this idea in his mind.No, at this moment, Wang Xifeng suddenly reported that she was pregnant!

He couldn't be happier.a child!He was about to have a baby!He wants to name him, watch him learn to walk, and hear him call him Daddy.To teach him how to read and write, he looks forward to his success, but he won't blame him if he can't read well.He felt that he should have smiled when he heard the news, but he didn't know that at that time his face was expressionless, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

It was also when Wang Xifeng looked up and saw the tears in the corners of her husband's eyes that had never been seen before, that she knew how much her husband longed for this child.She always knew that her husband wanted to have a child, but it was only at this moment that she really realized how deep this "want" was.Wang Xifeng is also a woman. Although she is always worried about Jia Lian and has a strong love for power, she still loves Jia Lian in her heart.So at that moment she made a subconscious decision.For the sake of her husband and the child who is about to be born, she let go of power.No longer holding on to the power in her hand, she chose to believe once.Believe in the husband's feelings for the children and the family.Probably this is the nature of women.Even a strong woman like Wang Xifeng can let go of wealth and power for the sake of her family!

Jia Lian was naturally most satisfied with this.His wife finally chose a family, which not only made him feel proud as a man, but most importantly, it fulfilled his yearning for a family.Because Jia Lian is only managing the affairs inside and outside the mansion and some clan affairs, and because there are no major events this year, he often has to go home to spend time with his wife and unborn baby.When Wang Xifeng was five months old, the imperial physician had pointed out that the baby was a boy.This made Jia Lian even more satisfied.When he was with Wang Xifeng, he opened his mouth and kept saying "my son".The two discussed the child's appearance together, and talked about his future. For a while, the child's marriage and childbirth were even arranged.Jia Lian had come up with a bunch of names early on, but he still couldn't decide on one.Wang Xifeng also said that if Baoyu won the election this time, he would be given a chance to call him a staff officer. Jia Lian also said that if he really won the election, he would be worthy of naming my son.It's just that when Wang Xifeng's delivery was really approaching, the couple who became parents for the first time had no extra expectations.I only hope that the child will be healthy and healthy, and will be born with all beards and tails, and I will be thankful.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family was drinking Laba porridge cooked by Mrs. Wang with Jia Yao and Daiyu. Unexpectedly, it was only after noon on this day, and Sister Feng would start it.Wen Po was ready to deliver the baby girl.Mrs. Wang asked the two little girls to go back to the room by themselves. While sending someone to tell Jia's mother, she took someone to see Wang Xifeng.When I arrived at Wang Xifeng's courtyard, I saw Jia Lian wandering around the door. Seeing Mrs. Wang coming, she seemed to have found her backbone, "Auntie, why is she just calling? This...how is the situation here?" Mrs. Wang Knowing that he was going to be a father, Qing felt anxious, but also a little bit considerate, so she comforted, "This is how women give birth. I'll go and see what's going on inside first." It seemed that something suddenly occurred to him. Asked, "Did you tell your wife?" Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I want to come to my aunt to take charge, and I have more experience, so I think it's okay to tell my wife later." Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Lian hated Mrs. Xing, and she knew that Mrs. Xing It couldn't be of much help when she came, it was just to add to the confusion, the one inside was her own niece, so she nodded and turned around to go in without asking any more questions.

Inside, Wang Xifeng had already opened four fingers, Mrs. Wang passed by, and knew that the birth was going well, so she was a little relieved.Sure enough, after a while, Wen Po shouted, "My brother's head has come out, grandma, work harder!"

Mrs. Wang took the ginseng tea from the servant girl's hand, scooped up a slice of ginseng with a spoon, and handed it to Wang Xifeng's mouth, telling her to bite.Unknown where the strength came from, Wang Xifeng raised her upper body abruptly, and then there was the sound of a baby crying.

Wen Po hugged her loudly, "He is a strong little brother. Congratulations to the second wife, congratulations to grandma!"

Wang Xifeng smiled weakly but gently, "Show me the child." Mrs. Wang took the child from Mrs. Wen and handed it to her, "Here, look at your son, he is so beautiful!"

Wang Xifeng propped herself up and looked at it for a while, then fell down weakly, "A monkey-like clown, why can't I see how beautiful it is. The second aunt also took it out, let our grandfather have a look, tell him to look at it, he is looking forward to it." Long beautiful son."

Mrs. Wang smiled and added another layer of wrapping to the child, and carried it out to show to the people waiting outside the door.Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Jia She rushed over in a hurry, thinking that he had heard the news that he was a grandson, and his face was full of rare smiles.Just as Jia Lian was about to hug his precious son, he let his father take the lead.Jia Amnesty hugged his newly born eldest grandson, so rare that Jia Lian had no choice but to look at his father's arm.The reaction of the couple was exactly the same, "Why so ugly? Like a little monkey!" Jia She's eyes widened when he heard this, "Nonsense! How ugly is my grandson? He looks much better than when you were born! You are itchy Don't you want to take it easy, don't you? Today, I will forgive you for the sake of a rare good thing you did and gave me a grandson. See, there will be a next time!"

Although the relationship between Mrs. Wang and her uncle is not good, and she has never been very friendly with the mansion, but looking at the appearance of the three generations, she also felt in her heart, and couldn't help but smile.
