Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, it is already the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

This was supposed to be a day of festive reunion, but because Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Mansion, has always been in a constant mood, and his temper has become more and more irritable in recent days.Now except for the uncle Jia Rong, the rest of the people in the mansion, from You Shi, the decent wife, to Aunt Pei, who is pregnant with Jia Zhen and loved by Jia Zhen, to the servant girls who pass by him, all of them are loved by Jia Zhen. Jane yelled.

And the servant girl Jia Zhen served in front of her was also extremely miserable.Among them, a second-class maid in front of Youshi, named Mu Mian, accidentally hurt Jia Zhen when combing Jia Zhen's hair.But now, it is the kind that has given Mu Mian a heart-warming foot and is still not relieved, and even ordered Ling to beat her twenty boards.Afterwards, Youshi was not allowed to call a doctor for her, but only some medicine for golden sores.He also said that if the fate could not last, he would be rolled up and thrown into the mass grave.

Jia Zhen became so angry that everyone in the Ningguo Mansion was in danger.He even muttered in private, no wonder the uncle has such a violent temper?It turned out to be inherited from the master.

In a family like Ningguo Mansion, the second-class maid in front of the wife of the main house lived better than the daughters of ordinary families.

With Jia Zhen's kick, Kapok was already vomiting blood, and after another [-] kicks, Kapok's life had already been killed by more than half.Although Mu Jin, who was in the same room, took care of her and took medicine, but Mu Mian still had a high fever for several days due to trauma, and there were many cases.Although Mu Jin begged to You Shi, but because Jia Zhen had spoken before, she was not allowed to seek a doctor, and You Shi did not dare to disobey Jia Zhen's words, but after all she couldn't bear it, so she asked Mu Jin to come to Jia Rong.

Jia Rong is well aware of why Jia Zhen has such a bad temper, and this girl has suffered an innocent disaster. Of course, I hope that Jia Rong will feel guilty about her as a servant girl.It's impossible, but let Zhiqiu go over and show the maid named Mu Mian.Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest. Because of this incident, the maid named Mu Mian decided that Jia Rong was her savior and became loyal to him.After hearing the news, the corner of his mouth twitched even though he was as dispositional as Jia Rong.

Caiyueju

Aunt Pei was sitting by the window, sewing clothes for children in a good mood, with a smile on her lips, and even touching her stomach from time to time, as if she was looking forward to it.

About half an hour later.

Xing'er came in with the anti-fetal medicine, put it down, saw that Aunt Pei was still sitting by the window, and put the things in her hand on the table, she couldn't help but said: "Auntie, the anti-fetal medicine is ready."

Aunt Pei then put down what she was on hand, walked over, picked up the bowl, ignored the unpleasant taste of the medicine, and drank it in one gulp, afterward, she also refused the over-flavored candied fruit that Xing'er handed over.

Xing'er swiftly put away the bowl and handed it to the little maidservant outside, and said, "Auntie, look at today's weather is just right, I heard that it is the Lantern Festival in the garden. Fang ordered a lot of lanterns. I heard that the whole garden is full of them, but they are beautiful." After a pause, he said: "Besides, Miss Zhiqiu said, let you move around more, whether it is for you or It's good for the brothers in your belly."

Aunt Pei looked sideways, and the sunshine outside was really just right, and she had been doing needlework for a long time, and she was a little tired, so she should be relaxed.He smiled and nodded in agreement. "Okay, call me Yueer, let's go together."

"it is good."

In the garden, in fact, there is nothing to see in the garden in winter, but today is the Lantern Festival, and all kinds of lanterns are hung everywhere in the mansion, especially in the garden. In the daytime, but it has also become a landscape in the mansion.

"Auntie, look, these lanterns are really beautiful. I heard that the uncle specially ordered them in Jinxiufang. Many of the lanterns were drawn by the eldest girl herself. It looks like this rich flower in the hands of the servants. , and the lotus lantern over there..."

As soon as she entered the garden, she was immediately attracted by the colorful lanterns. Listening to Xing'er's chatter, Aunt Pei couldn't help picking up a lantern that was a child's lantern. She held it in her hand and looked at it again and said with a smile: "It's not bad. It really came out of Jinxiu Workshop, and it's much more refined than in previous years."

Aunt Pei has been bored in her yard for a long time in order to raise her baby. Now that her baby has settled down, she can finally come out with Xing'er and Yue'er. And it's the Lantern Festival like this. Those lanterns are really exquisite.Therefore, Aunt Pei and the two maids, Xing'er and Yue'er, wandered around happily for a while.

"Auntie, I'm tired. Why don't you take a rest in the gazebo." Seeing Aunt Pei's tired face, Xing'er immediately said with a wink.

After all, Aunt Pei is a pregnant woman, and she is indeed a little tired at this time.Hearing Xing'er's words, he also nodded and said, "Okay."

Xing'er opened her mouth to tell Yue'er again, "Yue'er, you are so lucky to be here with Auntie, I'll go over to the kitchen to get some tea and snacks."

Although Xing'er and Yue'er are served by Aunt Pei's side, but because of their differences in affection, Aunt Pei naturally trusts Xing'er more among the two maids.Since she was pregnant, Xing'er took care of all the food and drinks waiting for her entrance, and it was not fake.

Yue'er nodded in reply.

For some reason, Aunt Pei always felt uneasy, so she said, "Xing'er, come back soon."

Xing'er nodded, and said yes crisply.

When she saw Third Sister You in the gazebo, Aunt Pei finally knew where the unease in her heart came from. The third girl from the wife's natal family was a very troublesome person.She speaks harshly and harshly, with high eyes and low hands, relying on her beauty, it is said that she talked and laughed very happily with Second Master Bao when she was in Xifu.She is still wearing filial piety, although the dead Master You is not her biological father, but he has raised her for so many years, this filial piety still has to be kept, and now she is still in the filial piety period, just like this Laugh and have fun.It's just too outrageous.

They look down on these aunts even more. When I go to my wife's place to say hello every day, as long as she is there, I will inevitably be accused and scolded.She is just the wife's step-sister, and she is not considered a serious relative of the wife. I don't know where she got such arrogant capital?But even though she said too much, the wife always scolded her later, so they also knew what the wife meant, and used her to say some things that she couldn't say.

So, although they had resentment towards Third Sister You, they just muttered a few words behind their backs.

"Hello Miss You San." Aunt Pei originally wanted to turn her head and leave, but Miss You happened to turn her head at this time, so she could only salute.

Although Third Sister You did not have a deep relationship with Youshi, after this period of time, under the guidance of Mrs. You, she also knew that the more stable Youshi's position in Ningguo Mansion was, the better their lives would be in the future. Aunt Pei, who was hooked on Jia Zhen again, she absolutely hated and didn't explain.So for Aunt Pei's salute, she just felt extremely bored, and her tone of voice became bad: "Get up. Aunt Pei is delicate and expensive now, and I dare not accept your gift. If this salute goes out What is the problem, I am not a sinner."

Although Aunt Pei resented Sanjie You's harsh words, she was smart and would never put it on her face. She just lowered her eyebrows and looked down, "Since Miss You San is here, That concubine is inconvenient to disturb, so I will take my leave." Then she turned around and was about to leave.

Aunt Pei wanted to leave first because she wanted to avoid Third Sister You.It's just that she didn't expect that when she turned around, she angered Third Sister You, and said angrily, "Stop, did I say you can leave?"

"I don't know what orders Miss You San has?" Aunt Pei suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a bow.

Third Sister You snorted coldly, stood up, walked to the steps of the gazebo, condescended, and glanced critically at Aunt Pei. At the end, she said mockingly, "I don't even know what kind of eyes my brother-in-law has? An old man, spoiled like a jewel. Where can you afford it, just with this piece of meat in your belly?"

Hearing Third Sister You's harsh words, Aunt Pei subconsciously took a small step back, unconsciously put her hands on her stomach, and looked at Third Sister You warily.

"What kind of eyes are you looking at? In broad daylight, I can still push you up and get rid of the meat in your stomach? I'm not that stupid..." Third Sister You said, and she looked at her. Auntie walked two steps away, and was about to say something, but for some reason, her knees suddenly went numb, she lost her balance, and with a flick of her body, she threw herself straight at Aunt Pei .

"Auntie!" Seeing this situation, Yue'er, who followed Aunt Pei and only had time to grab Aunt Pei's arm, screamed immediately.

With the sound of 'bang'.

I saw Third Sister You pressing tightly on Aunt Pei's body, and the elbow of one of her arms was even pressed tightly on Aunt Pei's stomach.

Yue'er couldn't pull it just now, and even fell to the ground because of the momentum.Although the winter clothes are thick, she really felt burning pain on her arms and knees when she fell on the bluestone slab, but right now she doesn't have much time to feel sorry for herself.Immediately got up from the ground, pushed away Third Sister You who was already confused, and said repeatedly: "Auntie, Auntie... come here, come here..."

A clear and shrill voice came out.

In fact, Aunt Pei herself is a vigilant person. She saw that the situation was not good just now, so she wanted to dodge it, but Third Sister You's attack was fast and fierce.Although her feet took a step away, she couldn't dodge it, and she didn't even have the time to shout. After a while, she felt pain all over her body, but the most painful was her stomach.Not long after, Aunt Pei felt something flow out of her lower body.Her mind suddenly exploded, and then she heard Yue'er's voice calling her.

Before she fainted, she only had time to say, "Save my child." She tilted her head and passed out.

Seeing this situation, Yue'er's expression was extremely flustered, and tears rolled down her cheeks unintentionally, but her eyes glanced at the bright red under the light blue skirt of Aunt Pei who had fainted, and her lips quickly flicked After a sneer, the wailing became more and more shrill.

Yushengyuan

Although Youshi had listened to Yindie's intention to go to the mother to keep the son, so as to comfort himself that his knees were still empty, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart.For several days in a row, she didn't sleep well.Although she knew that Yindie's proposal was good and in her best interest, she still felt that she was still young now, and she was three years younger than Aunt Pei, who could conceive and have children at this age.

How can she not?She is just a little weaker, as long as she is healthy and recuperated for a few years, she may not be unable to have her own children.

Why bother to raise other people's children, looking at it, it's not enough to worry about it.These days, Youshi is really worried and worried about this matter.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that the thing that really bothered her hadn't arrived yet.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, you have to save third sister! Although you and third sister are not direct sisters, we still have a relationship since we were young. Besides, third sister didn't do it on purpose... Eldest sister..." Although Jia Zhen's temper is grumpy day by day these days, Mrs. You's life is going well. When Shan Huan, the maid next to Third Sister You, came to report in a panic, she was Sitting in the room chatting with the maid Shuangxi about Second Sister You's marriage.

After hearing Shan Shan's words, Mrs. You's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted. She immediately scolded Third Sister You for being uneasy. disaster.But even though the scolding was scolding, she hurriedly asked Shan Shan and Shuangxi to wait for her to change clothes, and made her look haggard, so she hurried to Youshi to intercede.

Before Mrs. You came over, You Shi also got Yindie's reply here. Although she had a flash of joy in her heart at the first moment, she soon became angry again. Seeing Mrs. You came in, He was crying, and the impatience in his heart was even worse, "How many times have I told you that you must take care of Sanjie, take care of her, and don't let her mess around. Such a big disaster? This time, let me tell you clearly, instead of crying in front of me, I don’t want to think about it, how could the master explain it to me.” After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and took the maid to Aunt Pei’s place. Caiyue lived away.

When I arrived at Caiyuejuli, I thought it was a panic, but I didn't expect that when I came in, although the atmosphere here was dignified and the footsteps of the maids were hurried, there was no rush at all, and they were all in order.Taking a closer look, I saw Zhiqiu beside Jia Rong, and my heart became somewhat clear.

Turning his eyes away, he saw Third Sister You standing not far away. She was standing there, motionless, and when she saw her, her eyes showed a pleading look.Seeing her like that, Youshi knew that Zhiqiu did it, and Youshi didn't have time to take care of her now.Instead, he walked up to Zhiqiu and asked, "How is Aunt Pei doing? Is the child okay?" Brother Rong already knew about it. Although he didn't come himself, he sent everyone around him When Qiu came over, although many of them knew that Qiu was a medical girl, his attitude towards this matter was also evident.

Seeing that it was You Shi, Zhiqiu blessed her body immediately, and replied: "Returning to the wife, Aunt Pei's condition is not very good, and the force impact is great. Aunt Pei's body is a little weak in the past, and she has just survived this pregnancy. Now After being hit hard, the time was delayed. Aunt Pei is fine. It’s just that the child is a bit dangerous. The servant girl’s medical skills are not good, so there is no way to keep the child in Aunt Pei’s belly. In addition to coming here first, I have already sent someone to invite the imperial physician to come here. The child in Aunt Pei's womb may still have a chance."

"So serious? How about the child? Is there any problem?" In fact, before Youshi came, she only heard from Yindie that Third Sister You pushed Aunt Pei, causing Aunt Pei to fall and her fetus was gassy.As for Aunt Pei's specific situation, she didn't know.Now hearing Zhiqiu say that, he gasped, and immediately exclaimed.

Zhiqiu nodded.

If Youshi was lucky before, but seeing Zhiqiu nodded again, she almost fainted, her body was trembling, she staggered back a few steps, and supported Yindie so that she would not be unable to stand. "How...how...could this happen?" According to how much the master now values ​​the child in Aunt Pei's womb, if he knew... and suddenly thought of Jia Zhen's violent temper during this period, Youshi shuddered.

At this time, a servant girl came to report that the imperial doctor had arrived.

Zhiqiu didn't care about You Shi at this time, and blessed You Shi, and said: "Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to come in."
