Edge of the Red Chamber

Fortunately, the old lady just caught a cold and was fine.On the contrary, Mrs. Chen has been pregnant for nearly a month.

Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said congratulations: "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law."

Thinking of Chen Shi's refusal just now, I'm afraid she already knew it.I'm afraid that the family has been busy with Lin Yanchun's affairs recently, and Mrs. Chen is uncertain, afraid of making a joke, and afraid of Lin Yan's distraction, so she has the nerve to say it.Lu Huixian smiled and blamed: "Why didn't you say it earlier, the second brother is happy, I'm afraid he will come back with the champion tomorrow."

Chen's face was blushing, but she didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or joy.Hearing the words, I was a little embarrassed, and said: "I've never been very sure, and I didn't even think about it."

Lu Huixian also knew that Chen had this problem, and she had been taking medicine.She has been in the house for more than a year, and there is no good news yet. I am afraid she is most anxious.Lu Huixian also knew that if the old lady didn't say anything, she still didn't like it very much.

Lu Huixian is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she already has Lin Fei and Lin Ming.Now that Mrs. Chen is happy, she is really happy for her, and said: "The days are still young, so I won't notify my in-laws, and my family will keep it a secret. Wait until the first three months are over. What do you think? "Chen's child didn't come easily, and Lu Huixian is afraid she is overwhelmed.

This is a rule in the Jiangnan area. It is said that children are squeamish, so they have to hide it from the first three months, otherwise they will scare him away.Before Chen Shi left the cabinet, her mother had carefully inquired about the rules in Gusu.Lu Huixian was sincerely doing it for her own good. If Mrs. Chen disagreed, she said, "I don't understand either, I just ask my sister-in-law to teach me."

Lu Huixian laughed, and said: "As long as you don't think I'm too busy," but she didn't care about being modest, she sat down on the edge of the bed, and said: "This first one, you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want Just tell people to do it, don’t be shy. Otherwise, it’s you and the child who will suffer.” While talking and thinking, he went on to say: “It’s getting colder every day, and I’m afraid it’s cold when I bring it in the big kitchen. That's all, you just listen to me today. You have a small kitchen here. From now on, you can start fires here. Just like my sister's side, the vegetables and meat are distributed from the big kitchen. Another idea For food, I wrote a list on the first day and sent it over. You are different from your sister. If you want to eat, you can send someone to ask for it. Do you want to call two people from the big kitchen, or choose another two to come up?"

Chen Shi said: "All follow sister-in-law's arrangement."

Lu Huixian said with a smile: "You can't listen to me, and I don't know your current taste." Seeing Chen's perplexity, knowing that she couldn't think of it for a while, she said: "No hurry, get two from the big kitchen and use them. Let’s decide what’s going on.” As he spoke, he remembered that he left without eating breakfast, and asked, “Have you had breakfast yet?”

When Lu Huixian said something, Mrs. Chen responded.When asked about breakfast, Mrs. Chen also nodded.Daiyu suddenly laughed and said, "Why don't I know when I ate it?"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Mrs. Chen blushed, and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that you asked," and said to Lu Huixian, "You haven't eaten yet? I'll send someone to make the kitchen redo, I'm afraid it will..." Wanting to keep them for dinner, thinking of Daiyu's love for Jie, she was afraid that she would find it dirty, so she turned her head and said to Daiyu, "I won't keep you."

Lu Huixian also said: "Your girl, I'm afraid I can't bear it, so let's go. Go see the old lady after eating, and tell the happy event to the old lady. The old lady is happy, and I'm afraid the illness will be cured."

Daiyu really couldn't see it, and if she left, she was afraid that Mrs. Chen would think too much. Seeing that Lu Huixian said the same thing, she got up and said, "Then I'll go back first."

As soon as she went out, the kitchen brought them over, and Lu Huixian ordered someone to divide her share. Daiyu smiled and waved her hands, and said, "It will be cold when I bring it back. After that, I don't have much appetite. The blue bird is afraid of doing it." After eating a snack, it’s the same if I eat a piece.”

Lu Huixian thought so, and said: "You have to eat that." Then, she opened the box and looked at it, picked out a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup and a bowl of boiled white cabbage, and said, "They only think you are here. Eat it, I'm afraid I haven't prepared it. Take this soup and ask Qingniao to serve you a bowl of noodles, at least eat some." Daiyu agreed.

Xiangluo was busy, so she cleared an empty box, packed two bowls of vegetables, and asked a woman to hold them.

Daiyu didn't have any appetite and didn't want to eat, but Hongxiao was thinking about it and asked Qingniao to cook the noodles.Daiyu refused to eat, so she picked out half of the bowl and forced Daiyu to eat half of the bowl.

After dinner, I went to see the old lady.

The old lady had already fallen asleep after taking the medicine, so Daiyu asked Rosary about her condition. Just as Dr. Zhang was coming, Muyu came over and said that the old lady was awake. Mu Yu said, "Ask who is here, and I say it's a girl. The old lady said, this is also a weak one, and she can't be taught, why is she still here?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "I have a dose of Haishang, the old lady will take one dose, it will be fine for sure."

Rosary beads and wooden fish refused to believe it, and when she was joking, they followed suit and said, "Girl tell us, it will teach us a lot of knowledge."

The old lady heard it and said in the room: "Don't listen to her, Yan'er must have heard it from somewhere, and she took it seriously."

The wooden fish and the rosary opened the sandalwood bead curtain from left to right, Daiyu walked in, and saw the old lady half leaning on the head of the bed, with a happy forehead tied on her head, and a green silk quilt with a green longevity chrysanthemum pattern on her body. Putting it on the quilt, I fiddled with the sandalwood beads in my hand.When he saw her come in, there was a smile on his face.

Daiyu stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's really related to the second brother." As she spoke, she squatted down and said, "Congratulations to the old lady."

The old lady was taken aback, and said: "You child, why do you want to learn from your second brother?" Speaking of Lin Yan, she suddenly remembered what Lu Huixian said about Chen's illness, so she sat up immediately and said happily, "But you have your second sister-in-law? "

Daiyu put a brocade stool in front of the bed with the rosary, and sat down with a smile, nodded and said, "I also said to give the old lady some money," she said, turning to the rosary and the wooden fish, and said, "Who will tell the old lady?" Did you? You guys kept it a secret."

Muyu quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know." He pointed to the rosary and said, "Sister rosary, I'm afraid she knows."

Rosary also waved her hand and said, "If you don't tell me, I don't know."

Daiyu said: "Could it be that the old lady is a good ear?"

The old lady couldn't help laughing, and said: "One by one, it's not famous, even I arrange it."

After laughing for a while, the old lady asked seriously: "Dr. Zhang's pulse? How many months?"

Daiyu didn't joke, she nodded and said, "First I invited Dr. Zhao from Hui Ren Tang, and then Dr. Zhang. They all said yes, and it hasn't been a month yet."

The old lady applauded Amitabha, smiled and said repeatedly: "This prescription is good, this prescription is good." Then she said: "Your second brother finally has a son." Urgently asking the rosary to open the cabinet, she told her: " Go and pass on my words, and tell Second Mistress to put aside the family affairs for the time being and take care of her at ease." He also ordered Muyu to see Lu Huixian, and said, "Just say I said it, and she will work harder in the future."

Before Muyu came back, Lu Huixian came over first.

The old lady was asking her something, and said: "I just told Dai'er that Yan's daughter-in-law is inconvenient, and I will ask you to work harder in the future."

Lu Huixian said with a smile: "That's what she told me," and then said: "When I had Fei'er and Ming'er, I relied on my third aunt to take care of me. At that time, I always thought that if my second brother got married, I wouldn't bother my third aunt." I always hear people talking about my sister-in-law's difficulties, but I have a relationship with her, and she seems to be a direct sister. If a family is tired, it is a natural division. I also look at Feier Minger with more younger siblings, and the family is also lively some."

The old lady sighed, and said: "Our family has always had a hard time with offspring, unlike other families, which are lively and lively." When talking about the excitement, she remembered it and said with a smile: "It's not good to have too many children. These two just make my brain hurt. How about a few more in the future?" Fang Fang was very troubled, but his eyes were full of expectation.

Thinking of Lin Fei and Lin Ming's fight, both Lu Huixian and Daiyu couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

After hearing the good news, the old lady is in good spirits, but she is still ill and her body can't bear it.After talking for a while, a tired look appeared on his face.

The crowd dispersed, and the two went to the meeting hall.

They walked and talked side by side, and the maids and women followed behind, a large group.

Just as he was talking about Lin Ming, he saw the little maid in Lin Ming's yard rushing over, but it was Lin Ming who fell down.

The two didn't care about the ladies in charge in the meeting hall who were waiting for an answer, and a group of people shouted and went to Lin Ming's side.

His forehead was bruised and purple. His nurse was applying medicine to him. He was fine. When he saw Lu Huixian, his little mouth shrunk and tears flowed out. He opened his little arms and cried for his mother.This crying, Lu Huixian's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and it was painful.

Lu Huixian walked over quickly, hugged her and coaxed her.

Daiyu's complexion was not very good, so she called the nanny aside and asked what happened.

Lin Ming on the other side also turned a smiling face and finished the medicine.

Daiyu turned around to see it, and found it funny again, and said, "You're still laughing, you don't worry your mother to death."

Lu Huixian also understood. It was raining and the road was slippery. Lin Ming's gait was still unsteady, and it was not unusual for him to fall. It's just that he fell in the wrong place, just hitting the stone slab.

Daiyu said again, "I'd better invite Dr. Zhang to come and have a look."

Doctor Zhang ran again to check the pulse, which was also funny.Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin are both prudent people, but the two young masters were so naughty that they wished they could go there once a day and said, "Grandma, don't worry, it's fine, it will be fine after a few days. .”

Sending Dr. Zhang away, Lu Huixian said to Daiyu: "Fortunately, the old lady is ill, otherwise she will be angry again." The old lady cherishes these two great-grandchildren the most, and she never allows them to see them when they are sick.After seeing each other again, the bruise on Lin Ming's forehead has almost disappeared.

After such a delay, it was already lunch time when they arrived at the meeting hall, and the two of them ate in the meeting hall.

After dinner, Liang Hai's family came in and said, "Grandma's bedding is all ready yesterday."
