Edge of the Red Chamber

At five o'clock, Lu Huixian gave birth to the second grandson of Lin's parents. Lin Hai personally named him Lin Ming.

When Mrs. Lu received the letter, she couldn't wait for a moment, and immediately followed the person who announced the good news.

The person who went to Cui's house to announce the good news came back and said that the old lady over there was not very well, and he was calling for a doctor when he went.Mrs. Cui is also in her [-]s. Mrs. Zhao felt that something was wrong, but Lu Huixian was the only one left in the family who could take care of the director. I went to see my mother next to me, and Lin Hai and Lin Jue also delivered letters outside.

Old Jian is cold in spring and hot in autumn. The old man is most afraid of winter. If he can get through this year, he will basically have nothing to do. If he can't get through, he will not get through.Lin Hai and his son had the same heart as Mrs. Zhao, and they couldn't let go of it, so they hurriedly went to visit in person.

It's just an old man's disease, and he was very happy because he got the good news. When he heard their father and son came, he invited them in and talked for half an hour.

Yesterday, the old lady was worried, and kept guarding outside the delivery room. She was persuaded by Mrs. Zhao to go back when the baby landed on the ground.The two girls, Daiyu and Lin Jun, didn't guard the house, but they were thinking about it in their hearts. When they got up in the morning, they all came to see their little nephew.

The child was nursing and sleeping soundly. Several people watched and teased Lin Fei. Lin Jun deliberately said, "Your mother has a younger brother, so from now on, she will only love her and not Fei'er."

Lin Fei really took it seriously, and ran to Lu Huixian's bedside with a worried face, took his mother's hand and asked, "Mother, don't want a younger brother, mother, don't want a younger brother."

Lin Jun said again: "Then lose my brother, okay?"

Lin Fei immediately turned his head, stared at her, and said, "No."

Lin Jun looked innocent and said, "You were the one who said you didn't want my brother."

When Lin Fei heard that it was indeed what he said, he immediately became anxious. It was he who said that he didn't want his brother, otherwise he would just lose it. Thinking about it this way, Lin Jun was right.But he didn't mean that, but he didn't know what to say, and his brow was sweating anxiously.

Mrs. Lu looked distressed, got up and hugged her grandson in her arms, and comforted him, saying: "We, Fei'er, will be like an older brother, and when he grows up, you will take him to play with him," she scolded again. Lin Jun, "As an aunt, you don't look like an aunt." Then she coaxed Lin Fei, "My aunt was joking with you, you and your brother are the flesh that fell from your mother, they are all the same Hurt, do you like brother?" Lin Fei nodded.

On the day of Xisan, Mrs. Cui also came.

After the banquet, everyone went to Lu Huixian's room.An incense table has been placed outside the main hall for thirteen statues of gods, including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Cuisheng Empress, Sending Son Empress, Douzhen Empress, and Vision Empress, and millet is contained in the incense burner.A pair of small double bags are placed on the wax cuttings, and below are pressed yellow coins, ingots, and thousand pieces of money and food for worshiping the gods.

In Lu Huixian's bedroom, there are statues of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" on the kang outside, and five bowls of sweet-scented osmanthus are placed in front of the statues.

The midwife grandma went up to pay three respects, Mrs. Zhao personally served soup made from locust leaves and mugwort leaves, and the nanny came out with Lin Ming, who was just full.The midwife grandma took it, and Mrs. Lu stepped forward to add a spoonful of water first.

The admission grandma hurriedly said: "Long flowing water, smart and clever."

Mrs. Lu put another longan, and the grandma who gave birth said: "The son is better than the old man, and he won three yuan in a row."

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Lu just put a gold lock in the basin, weighing about half a cent, and a pair of gold bracelets, also weighing about one or two.Such a gift is considered heavy.

Then there is Lu Huixian's sister-in-law, Mrs. Chen. She is a daughter-in-law, so naturally she cannot compete with her mother-in-law.Slightly inferior, there is a pair of heavy gold handles and a pair of heavy silver handles.

Old Mrs. Cui has a lot of seniority, but it is difficult for her to go beyond her grandfather's house. She has a golden lock that weighs six to seven cents, and a pair of golden locks that weigh seven to eight cents.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng came from the Rong Mansion. Because they are separated by one floor, they are naturally not as good as the Lu's, but slightly heavier than the Cui's.

All the things in the basin belonged to the newborn grandma. Seeing more and more things, the newborn grandma smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum with her old face.

Lin Ming was not like his elder brother, he cried so loudly before the water touched his body, the confinement grandmother quickly sprinkled the water on him, saying: "The pot is ringing, the pot is ringing."

The lady below said: "This child, the cry is loud."

Loud crying means that the child is healthy and healthy so that it can be fed.

As soon as the ceremony was over, the wives and grandmas rushed to grab the longan, dates, chestnuts, etc. in the pot.Mrs. Xing got a jujube and gave it to Wang Xifeng, which made Wang Xifeng look at it with admiration.

Since the birth of sister Qiao, there has been no movement in the past four or five years.She didn't say anything on the face, but she was still anxious in her heart.Especially after watching Lu Huixian give birth to two sons in a row, she was even more anxious.

There are only so many things in a small pot, but Mrs. Xing snatched one, which shows she has intentions.For a moment, he forgot about seven or eight points of his old dislike, and instead thought about Mrs. Xing's hardships.From then on, serving Mrs. Xing was a little more sincere.Of course, this is something to do later, let's not mention it for now.

The second elder brother of Lu Huishan's family was still young, so someone came to remind her to go back after the ceremony.

I'm afraid that because of Lu Huixian's rest, everyone moved to the old lady's room to talk.

The old lady asked about Mrs. Cui's illness, and said: "The former son said that he was not healthy, and I said that I would go to see you after I have been busy for a while. Is it okay? I see your face, it is not bad, and you are in good spirits." Good." Then he said: "That's all right, I should rest for a few more days. I want to see Ming'er. When the moon is full and the weather is fine, I will teach them to hold them for you to see. Isn't it the same?"

Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "At my age, where can there be no one who suffers from three illnesses and two pains, he will die somewhere, so I still have to ask a doctor."

The old lady repeatedly "bah" and said angrily: "What are you talking about, your children and grandchildren are filial, you should take care of yourself, and you have to watch Brother Han marry a wife."

Old Mrs. Cui laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it again, I won't say it again." Then she asked: "Where are the two girls? You know I'm coming, but you won't come out, so I'll invite you."

The old lady smiled and said: "Yi'er didn't come today either, they have been watching for two days, they must be blaming you in their hearts." Turning around, she ordered the rosary, "Please come, girls."

Just as he was talking, he heard voices outside the door saying: "The girls are here."

The two came up to greet each other, and Mrs. Cui held one hand and said with a smile: "Your old lady arranged for you, I said you are not such people." Then asked: "Why did you come here so late?"

The two of them lost their money, so they asked Cui Jiayi, "Why don't you come?"

The old lady just laughed and said: "Your sister Yi is engaged, how can you compare to you." Then she asked old lady Cui, and said: "It is said that the child of the Yu family is engaged, has the date been set?"

The youngest granddaughter also has a family. Old Madam Cui was very happy and said with a smile: "Cheng'er is seventeen this year, and He'er also has a family. His mother just wants Yi'er to come in earlier and take care of her brother's important affairs first. To do her business, the date is scheduled for March next year."

The Yu family is also a scholarly family, but it has declined since the dynasty.Marriage to the Yu family is because of the way the Yu family behaves, and Mrs. Yu is Cui Jiayi's direct aunt.

The Cui family has a bright personality and is not suitable for those aristocratic families. If it is the Yu family, Mrs. Yu will take care of it.

Everyone congratulated, the old lady smiled and said: "It's a good thing to be kissed." Then she said: "I remember, Yi'er is two years older than Jun'er?"

Lin Jun smiled and said, "The old lady remembers wrongly. Sister Yi is two years older than Dai'er, and only one year older than me."

The old lady shook her head and said: "I am old, I am old, and my memory is not working." Then she said to Mrs. Xing: "In addition to the children in your family, these children are about the same age. I was only this big when I was young," he said while gesturing with his hands, "In a blink of an eye, this door is big." He asked, "Why didn't you come? The two of them are always talking about it at home."

Mrs. Xing said: "Their sisters were also talking about it at home. When they got the letter, they begged the old lady and said they wanted to come. Who knows, the second girl is sick again, and the third girl is not feeling well, so they dare not teach them to go out. The three of them The two grew up together and have never been separated. The two older ones couldn't come, but the younger one said, "Second sister and third sister won't go. I'll go alone. It's so boring." The old lady even joked that she raised a group of White-eyed wolf, he has been raised so big, and he never talked about it like this."

Everyone just laughed, saying that their sisters have a good relationship.

Wang Xifeng said: "Don't talk about my sisters talking about it, I want to talk about it too. I always get good things from my sister. Coincidentally, this year the sweet-scented osmanthus in our garden is good. It hasn't bloomed yet, and the whole yard smells fragrant. We discussed it at home. , Said that when it’s over, invite the two younger sisters to play.”

Daiyu said: "Sister-in-law said this, I am ashamed." Ask Yingchun again.

When the adults talked, their girls were not well. After talking, Daiyu and Lin Jun said they were going to see Lin Ming come out.

A persimmon tree was planted in the corner of the yard. It had grown luxuriantly for more than ten years, and the branches were full of fruits the size of a child's fist, which made the branches hang down.

Lin Jun took Daiyu and made a detour to look at her, while talking about Cui Jiayi, she said, "It's such a big happy event, she didn't even say a word. I hope I can spare her when I see her next time."

Although it is complaining, it is actually happy.

Daiyu was also happy, and said: "I didn't expect it to be their family. Sister He is a good person, but Sister Lian..." She sighed, "I don't know how many lawsuits there will be in the future."

Lin Jun snorted coldly, and smiled again: "Are you worried about this at this time? Later, I told the old lady that I will definitely pay attention to a kind family for you. It is best not to have sister-in-law or sister-in-law, so as to avoid future lawsuits." .” Before finishing speaking, she left Lin Daiyu and ran away.

Daiyu stomped her feet, and immediately chased after her, saying, "Talking about me, I only wish you to have five or six sisters-in-law tomorrow. See if you still have the skill."

Lin Jun didn't give in at all, and immediately said: "What are you afraid of, I'll just set up a fire and let them quarrel by themselves."

Daiyu suddenly lost her breath from laughing, stood upright and stroked her chest, only saying "Ouch", Hongxiao also laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, she forced herself to support Daiyu, and stroked her back.

Luzhu smiled and said, "My girl, you are not afraid of being laughed at."

Lin Jun was fighting with Daiyu, but she said it without thinking about it. Now when they laughed, she immediately realized what she said, and felt embarrassed.But these people didn't care about her at all, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and said: "Don't laugh at me now, you will have this day too."

Daiyu was afraid that Lin Jun would be really annoyed if she continued to laugh, so she suppressed her laughter and said, "Let's talk about what to give her."

Hong Kao and Lu Zhu stopped laughing, and Lin Jun was a little better, saying: "It depends on what she likes, let's find out whether it's shopping outside, or carefully making two-color needlework."

Daiyu nodded and said, "See if Ming'er Manyue will come or not, then ask her face to face."
