The widowed mother of the red mansion

Daiyu drank half a glass of sweet wine because of the excitement of the wedding banquet, but she suddenly felt nauseous, her chest felt tight and she dizzy and passed out.When I opened my eyes again, it was already the second day, and I saw Xueyan and Zijuan guarding in front of her, several little maids in the other room surrounded the ground and stared at her, and there were a few who went outside from time to time. Looking inside, although there are many people in the room, there is no sound.

Seeing that Daiyu had woken up, everyone happily ran to inform their masters.Daiyu was puzzled, and both Zijuan and Xueyan said with tears in their eyes, "Grandma, it's so hard to have today!"

Li Wan was overjoyed when he learned that Daiyu's fainting was not an illness but that she was pregnant. The whole family was very elated when they got the news, especially Mrs. Wang.Among the guests present who were more acquainted, they also congratulated Jia Zheng from ear to ear when he encountered two happy events for his son and daughter.

For fear of disturbing Daiyu's rest, when she heard that after she woke up, Mrs. Wang ordered that no one else be allowed to see her for the time being. She only took Li Wan and Youshi to her room to have a look, and said kindly, "I'm usually a careful person." Son, why do you become confused about such a big matter? Fortunately, the fetus is not in serious condition. From now on, you just need to take good care of your body. Tell your sister-in-law and me what you want to eat, don’t wrong yourself. The old lady I have already sent someone to tell you that she has loved you for so many years, and she is finally looking forward to this day."

Daiyu's face was flushed, and she agreed one by one shyly.After Mrs. Wang talked about raising a baby, she took Youshi away, leaving Li Wan to look after her.Li Wan looked around with a smile and asked, "Where's Baoyu? Why isn't he here at this time?"

Before Daiyu could answer, Zijuan said with a smile: "As soon as he heard that our grandma was awake, he jumped over in two steps in three steps, and for some reason, he ran out again, just like burning his butt."

Li Wan understood, held Daiyu's hand and said something before leaving.Seeing that there were only Zijuan Xueyan left in the room, Daiyu said, "Why don't you hurry up and get that idiot out?"

Zijuan Xueyan pulled and tugged Baoyu out of the ear room with a smile, and went out behind closed doors.Since Baoyu cared about his career and economy, he was often praised by Jia Zheng for his prudent demeanor, and he was generous and mature in socializing outside on weekdays, but today he cried like a child, choked up and couldn't speak, and kept wiping with a veil His tears and snot are extremely ridiculous.

"How old are you, why are you crying? If they see you like this, how long will they laugh at you?" Daiyu said in shame, Baoyu hugged Daiyu's waist and buried her face in Daiyu's face. Yu Huai couldn't help but twitch. "Okay, okay, don't cry." Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry, and kept comforting Baoyu, and it took a long time for her to calm down.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang was just about to send someone to Jinling to inform Jia Mu of the good news, but someone from Jinling came first and brought a lot of things that Man Yue wanted to buy.She said to Li Wan: "It must be the trick of Feng girl. The old lady on the left and right misses Baoyu and the others. However, she can't turn out to be a person, so she deceives people with nonsense. Somehow she hit the right point."

Li Wan said with a smile: "It's about God seeing how pitifully she has suffered for the past few years. This time, he couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he did such a beautiful thing."

After two breaths, Sister Feng felt relieved and reported the situation there to Mother Jia in detail, including what Daiyu ate, how Mrs. Wang arranged for the wet nurse, and so on.All of Jia's mother's doubts disappeared immediately, and when she was in a good mood, she could overcome things and eat half a bowl more than usual.Gradually, apart from feeling tired easily, she became more energetic than before. She no longer lingers on the sick bed, and the whole family recites Buddha's name.

Daiyu was already delicate and weak, and after she became pregnant, she was taken care of by a large number of servants like stars. Even when she was in a hurry to drink water and coughed, she mobilized everyone to invite the doctor to come and see her.Daiyu laughed and said, "I've never seen such a big battle, so hurry up and do your own thing. I think those people are enough."

The daughter-in-law, who was specially assigned by Mrs. Wang to carry Daiyu's baby, said with a smile, "Ma'am, the eldest grandma attaches great importance to grandma's body. Even if they are willing, the second master will not."

Baoyu seems to have a split personality after Daiyu became pregnant.He is still talking and laughing calmly outside, but when he enters the courtyard, he is nervous, and when there is a disturbance, he is more excited than anyone else. The doctor who was forced by him several times was secretly angry and funny, and said in private: "What a big deal, it's a nonsense! It hurts so much. What can my wife do?"

At night, Baoyu leaned against Daiyu's side, gently stroking Daiyu's still flat belly like stroking the most precious treasure in the world: "It's really unbelievable. Feel real."

Daiyu smiled and closed her eyes without answering. Baoyu put his face on her forehead and murmured, "How tired you are."

Daiyu held Baoyu's hand tightly: "I don't know what will happen to the old lady."

"I'm sure happy." Baoyu said with a smile: "With you two, I don't want anything anymore."

"You're talking nonsense again. After hearing this, the old ladies and wives must say that you are ignorant."

"I'll tell you this, I'm not stupid." Baoyu smiled slyly: "I won't say it in the future, and I will whisper it to you when you want to hear it."

Daiyu chuckled, and the ten fingers they held were slightly tighter.

After the imperial concubine was promoted in Yuanchun, the family members and female relatives could come to the palace to meet with her at any time every month.Although it's not easy to go too often, compared to the original Jia's residence, I still have to enter the palace more diligently, which can be regarded as a little bit of Yuanchun's longing.It is well known that Yuanchun loves Baoyu, and this time Daiyu was pregnant, she was also very happy and sent people to reward her with many things.Li Wan was ordered to buy some things for Yuanchun, and after being checked by the House of Internal Affairs, several young eunuchs carried them to Ganquan Palace.

Accompanied by Li Wan, Yuan Chun glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, whenever you come across any difficult things, you can never go wrong. The birthday gift you gave me last time was very good. The old man personally said that she likes the lotus seat the most, and she wants to match it with a sea lantern sometime."

Li Wan hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, I will definitely send someone to do it next time."

Yuan Chun nodded, and Li Wan suddenly asked coldly, "Great Concubine praises Your Majesty so much, but in public?"

Yuan Chun's face was slightly pleased: "Indeed, even the Holy Majesty praised it."

Li Wan looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said cautiously: "I'm afraid such praise will hurt other people's eyes."

Yuan Chun was slightly taken aback, and his expression gradually became serious: "At that time, except for Lan Guiren, who had just entered the palace, everyone else in the palace was people who had known me for many years, probably...wouldn't be too ostentatious?"

"Is the queen here?"

"Naturally, why do you ask this?"

Li Wan said in a low voice: "Is the queen's empress still treating her the same as before?"

"There is no difference, it is more enthusiastic than before, and I often come to see the third princess and the second prince." Yuan Chun was a little suspicious: "Did you hear something?"

Li Wan said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, it's just a matter of touching the scene. The Empress has always treated Jia's family well, but also not kindly. It was thanks to the Princess' kindness."

Yuan Chun was originally a smart person, so after a while he understood the meaning of Li Wan's words. After a moment of silence, he smiled wryly and said, "I understand what you said. I was careless when I said it. The most stable tree in the world, but I never thought that trees can also grow vines, which can entangle and strangle people..."

Li Wan said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be too much of a shadow of a snake, you just need to have more minds. As the saying goes, you can always be cautious, and you can make the boat of ten thousand years."

Yuan Chun responded in a low voice.Suddenly, she was startled as if she remembered something, but quickly recovered her calm expression, and said to Li Wan, "Don't worry, you should pay attention, it's not easy for our family to survive the ups and downs." The answer is yes.

After returning to Jia's mansion, Li Wan got off the sedan chair and walked to the backyard with a large number of maids and daughters-in-law waiting inside the second gate.When passing through the corner corridor, suddenly a few people in charge seemed to be talking about something there. Seeing Li Wan and the others coming and avoiding them, Li Wan stopped and asked Lin Zhixiao's family next to him: "Who are those people?" , is the person in the master's room?"

Lin Zhixiao's family said: "Except for Song Guanshi, the others are unfamiliar. They must be people from outside the second sect. Why did they come here?"

Li Wan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name Song Guanshi, and he said as if nothing had happened: "The garden is past the corner corridor, since they are respectable servants of the family, they shouldn't stay in the wrong place, call me here."

Lin Zhixiao's family rushed over to call for someone, but when they saw they were discovered, they had to come out and kowtow, not daring to raise their heads to look directly at Li Wan.

"What are you doing here? No one told you not to go near where you shouldn't be?"

Song Zhong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Grandma, forgive me, these are new recruits, because they didn't understand the rules and went to the wrong place, the servant is teaching them."

Li Wan's anger turned into joy: "That's right, he is indeed a person who has followed the master for many years, and his work is really safe, reward."

Song Zhong thanked him again and again, Li Wan lifted his feet and left, suddenly remembered something and said to Song Zhong: "Not long ago, the housekeeper of our family went back to his hometown on leave. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. I'm afraid there will be insufficient manpower within the year. Song Zhong The steward is also an old man who has been through for many years, I will entrust you to take these few with you, and fill them up when the old stewards' seats become vacant."

Song Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and his face was still reassuring: "The servant knows, and he will definitely live up to grandma's high expectations."

"It's good to understand, it's nothing to do with you, just step back."

Watching the backs of several people leaving, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Wan's mouth, and he slowly turned and went back to the yard.

Jia Li's original words really came true.After the Japanese pirates were defeated, the Japanese country tore off the last disguise and officially began to attack the coastal areas.They originally planned to attack but encountered an elite army that had been prepared for a long time, and this new commander who had emerged on the battlefield seemed to be a more terrifying enemy than the heroic general. He was not only familiar with the combat characteristics and habits of the Japanese army, He even captured several traitors in the ambush army in one fell swoop, ruining their event.

What is even more frightening is that it is said that this young general looks very much like another troublesome man a few years ago. His superb martial arts and madness during the fight are almost exactly the same as him, but that man is indeed dead.

"Master General! According to the report from the spies, that person is indeed the son of a family in the capital of Huaxia, named Jia Li. He is not the one who died before, and the two have no relationship at all. It is very likely that they just look alike! "

Japanese General Tokugawa Maomao (Note 1) narrowed his eyes: "Back down."

The samurai who came to report slowly backed away, and Tokugawa Maomao suddenly said to a long-haired woman in a purple crane-patterned kimono behind the curtain: "Jonghime, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"

The woman named Zhongji covered her mouth and said with a low smile, "It's really puzzling that my lord father would ask such a question."

Tokugawa took out his saber boldly, the stern look in his eyes and the cold light of the blade gleamed sinisterly in the dark: "I hope there will not be a situation where I need to go to the front line in person. I have been fighting for many years, although I will not be old and weak , but it is not suitable to go to the battlefield again.”

Zhongji said: "If the warriors let you down, my daughter is willing to fight for you."

Tokugawa said boldly: "Don't be joking! I don't have a son, and your uncles are eyeing the position of general, and those adults in Beijing are making things difficult for them. They seem to be dissatisfied with the general's mansion. If we don't attack Huaxia at this time, our country will be destroyed." I'm afraid that I will first cause internal turmoil and self-destruct in the most humiliating way."

"But, is this okay?" Zhong Ji said: "Once the army loses, we will have no way out."

"Is it available now?" Tokugawa took the risk and put the knife back into its sheath, sighed and left.Zhong Ji silently watched the sunset glow on the ground outside the curtain, and couldn't help but whispered: "I have no sorrow when the world is in chaos, and I have no tears when my family and country are destroyed. I have no intention of doing anything in the world, and I only hope that I will grow up and be rich... (Note 2)"

Jia Li watched the blazing bonfire, the soldiers drank and sang, many people came to toast him one after another, but they all declined one by one.A rude soldier laughed and said: "Why, is the general fearful? It's not the middle of the capital now, Mrs. Shan Gao is far away!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Jia Li smiled lightly: "Even if she's not here, I can't take my word for it. I promised her to drink less."

The scene suddenly quieted down, and was soon overwhelmed by even louder laughter.Amidst the noise, a lieutenant general said to Jia Li with admiration: "The general doesn't drink, I want to drink this too! A man should keep his promise, he can't even say what he says to a woman, what kind of man is he! I toast the general." , let’s do it first, the general can do whatever he wants!” After finishing speaking, he swallowed it in one breath.

Jia Li patted him on the shoulder: "I know you have a heart, and I will invite you after I go back."

The other soldiers stopped immediately: "We want to drink the general's wine!" "That's right, if you don't want to, you can mix it with water!" "It's not worth it for so many people to mix it with water. I said, we have to mix wine with the water!"

Jia Li laughed, stood up and said loudly: "Although we won the battle today, everyone must not be greedy. The Japanese pirates are very cunning. I don't know when they will attack again. When the Japanese pirates are no longer able to fight back, I will go back. Please tell Madam, I will invite you all to drink without water! Do you understand?"

"Understood! Thank you, General!" The voices of the soldiers resounded through the air above the barracks.

After returning to the tent, the deputy general reported the routine affairs to Jia Li. Before leaving, he joked half-truthfully: "I have accumulated a life-long friendship with the general. I don't know if the general will show you face. Let's have another kiss to add to the friendship." relative?"

Jia Li asked, "Do you have a young daughter at home?"

The lieutenant general shook his head: "I don't have a daughter, but I do have a sister. Although she is not as beautiful as my wife, she is still passable."

Jia Li paused slightly, and said with a smile: "The brothers in the family are already married, it's a pity."

The lieutenant laughed and said: "If someone is like the general, even if he is a concubine, my sister is willing."

Jia Li said: "To tell you the truth, I am very afraid of guilt. Such a beautiful thing is not a blessing to be enjoyed. When you get married and have children in the future, if we marry a son or daughter, we will also be more intimate, what do you think?"

The lieutenant scratched his head: "It was just a joke, the general should not take it to heart."

Jia Li said: "Of course I know you are joking, you are the only son, where did you get your sister?"

The lieutenant general smiled, lifted the curtain and went out.Jia Li looked at his back thoughtfully, and soon turned her mind back to the Japanese pirates.

Jia Zhen was not a military officer, and just as the frontier military expenditures were tight, he went back to Jia's mansion when he returned to Beijing to report.

"It's almost the same as what was said in the letter. We can eat and sleep, and we're not hurt." Jia Zhen said vigorously, "What are the Japanese pirates? Brother Li is so good at things, he beat them to pieces, in my opinion." I'll be back in about a year or so."

"Why another year?" Mrs. Wang asked with some disappointment.

"My wife doesn't know, the Japanese pirates are extremely difficult to deal with, and a year is considered fast."

Li Wan was relieved when he learned that Jia Li was fine, and Jia Lan was also beaming with joy.He said to Li Wan: "Mother, Dad will be back in about a year!"

Li Wan smiled and said, "I'm listening."

Jia Lan also laughed: "I'm afraid my mother hasn't heard enough, so I'll say it again."

"Little talker!" Li Wan made a gesture to knock Jia Lan on the head, but Jia Lan ran into Mrs. Wang's arms and said, "Ma'am, mother is going to hit me!" Everyone laughed, and Li Wan also turned his head away in embarrassment.

This kid needs to be disciplined in the future.

The author has something to say: Note 1: This is a spoof of "Gintama" Tokugawa Momo

Note 2: The original text is "天天は破れば破れよ, 国は灭びれば灭びよ, 人はともあれ, 我が身さえ富贵ならば" comes from Japan's Muromachi era <Onjin Rebellion> (1467~1477) Houjunji " In "Ying Ren Ji", the literal translation is probably "When the world is in chaos, it will be in chaos. When the country is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Everything in the world has nothing to do with me. I just want to keep my own glory and wealth."This article uses the seven-character poem version based on other people's versions with slight modifications.
