The maid of the red house

But she said that since she was pregnant with this child, Sister Feng has taken very strict precautions. She doesn't eat a single bite of food outside, and checks everything in the house. They only wear cotton cloth and don't use silk, and even the Wen women are useless in the mansion. Instead, Mrs. Wang Ziteng invited three very famous Wen women to come. Er Xiaohong sealed off the courtyard and kept them from being known, and only allowed them to go out to announce the good news when they were born.

Ping'er was secretly startled, and didn't know how Sister Feng took precautions. Later, Sister Feng gave birth safely. When Ping'er went to Jiamu's place, Xiaohong guarded Sister Feng, and Feng'er went to the east courtyard to announce the good news. At that time, Jia Lian didn't even tell him, and sent someone to Wang's house to announce the good news.

After hearing Ping'er's words, Jia's mother was surprised and happy, put her hands together and said, "Amitabha, this is really a happy event." Immediately she got up and went to visit the great-grandson who had just fallen into the grass in Sister Feng's courtyard.

Ping'er hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't worry, old lady. Our grandma is happy to know that the old lady remembers it. How can I work for the old lady to rush over at this moment? It is not our grandma's fault."

After hearing this, Yuanyang smiled and said, "Ping'er's words are very true. It would be better for the old lady to go there early in the morning."

Mother Jia thought for a while and said: "Yes, the yard must not be cleaned up at this moment. Yuanyang, you can go with Ping'er for me, and tell Feng girl what I said. She is the one who adds to our house. I’ll keep that in mind, I’ll go to see her in person tomorrow, and we’ll have a great time doing it.”

Yuanyang agreed and went out with Ping'er.

When we arrived at Sister Feng's courtyard, Mrs. Xing had already arrived, beaming with joy. Jia Lian got the news that he had a son in the study, and hurriedly left two handsome young men and ran over. His hat was crooked and his boots were missing. However, the clothes were not put together, so I just asked Sister Feng through the window how she was doing, and how her son was doing, and kept saying, "I have a son, I have a son."

Seeing Jia Lian's insane appearance, wanting to be known all over the world, Yuanyang couldn't help but chuckle.

Ping'er sighed, and said with a smile: "Sister, please be more considerate. Unfilialism is the most serious thing. Our second master only got such a brother at the age of 30. It's not like getting Fenghuang'er, or he is crazy for a while. Makes sense too."

After hearing this, Yuanyang understood very well, nodded and said, "I'll understand if you don't tell me."

Mrs. Xing was asking someone to bring over a large camphorwood box painted with gold, and she went in and said to Sister Feng: "Your father-in-law knows that you have added a son to our eldest family, and he likes it very much, but he can't come here in person, so he told me to give it to her." You brought a box of good things, including gold, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, it's for our elder brother, don't let Lian'er take advantage of it!"

In the past few years, Sister Feng has taken good care of her, and her life has been going well. She is not tired, but she is full of air and said: "My wife went back and thanked the master for my kindness, but I can't go to thank you in person."

Mrs. Xing looked at the baby brother in the red satin swaddle beside Sister Feng, and said to Buddha: "It's said that you are born in confinement, you just take care of it, but don't thank your master, you have added a brother to our family, you Even if you have made great achievements, you will definitely not be blamed."

When Sister Feng heard this, she agreed again and again. After giving birth to this son, she felt elated and her waist straightened a lot. She couldn't help but regret that she didn't wake up sooner. If her brother was born that year, he would be two or three years old now. Jia Lian would not Going to find the Second Sister You and the Third Sister, Jia Amnesty probably wouldn't send Qiutong over, making him a betrayer.

When Sister Feng gave birth, everyone in the family knew about it, and Ningguo's family also knew about it, and they all came to congratulate her in an endless stream.

Seeing that Sister Feng's yard was about to become lively, Yuanyang hurriedly passed on Jia Mu's words. Sister Feng thanked Jia Mu in the delivery room. Come out and see.

Wen Po said helplessly: "Second Master, it's dark and windy, and it's blown carefully, brother."

When Jia Lian heard this, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't take it out, I'll go and see for myself." Regardless of the rule that men are forbidden to enter the delivery room, she hurried in and looked at Sister Feng wiping her forehead, with a gentle and busy face. Looking down at his son, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, then he bowed to Sister Feng and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Sister Feng chuckled, gave him a sidelong glance, and said, "I can't get up to pay back this gift from Second Master, I'm going to suffer it. But Second Master is going out soon, carefully outsiders will find out, and say it's not Second Master's fault."

Jia Lian plausibly said, "Why can't I come to see my wife and son?"

Even so, Jia Lian was still afraid of other people's gossip, so he looked at his son again, comforted Sister Feng, and then went out.

At that time the mandarin ducks had gone and everyone had arrived, the yard was crowded with congratulatory people standing side by side, even though many lights were lit in the yard, it was as bright as day, it felt dark and overwhelming, Ping'er was busy receiving gifts, Daoxi went back to Jia Lian and Sister Feng with a reward, and Daoxi, who was an important person, went to Jia She early to ask Jia She to choose a name for his son, and Sister Feng told Ping'er to take care of it herself.

Ping'er has always been familiar with this, and he cooks very well.

For a while, Baochai, Baoyu, Tanchun and other places sent people to inquire about what happened, and Ping'er had to deal with it a lot.

But Sister Feng told Xiaohong inside: "It's all thanks to Sister Lin, Nanny Rong and others that I am able to be here today. You can go for me personally. I have already drawn up a list of gifts, and I will announce the good news to them. Sister Lin and Nanny Rong must come over during the third bath, and I must thank you personally, and I will thank you again after confinement is over."

Xiaohong agreed, hurriedly brought presents, and took a few women and servants to Zhou's house by car.

Zhou's house was not far from Rongguo Mansion, when they arrived at Zhou's house, they handed over a post and invited them in quickly.

After Mrs. Wang and other officials, dignitaries and relatives left one by one, Xueyan never left Zhou's house because of Zhao Yun's discussion with Zhou Hong and his son. She was sitting in Daiyu's room chatting with Daiyu. Startled, Daiyu hurriedly ordered someone to come in.

Seeing Xiaohong, Daiyu smiled and said, "Could it be your grandma's happy event?"

Xiaohong saluted and invited Ann, Fang smiled and said: "It is Aunt Lin after all, she is really very smart. Our grandma has safely given birth to a brother, who is six pounds and nine taels, and is said to be a precious son. Our grandma is grateful to my aunt. The benefits of being kind to Nanny Rong, Tete sent me to announce the good news, and thanked Auntie and Nanny Rong on behalf of our grandma, and asked my aunt and Nanny Rong to come in person at the third time of my brother's bath. Our grandma thanked me face to face. Confinement come and thank you again."

When Daiyu heard that Sister Feng had given birth, she was also happy for her, and said with a smile, "It's really a happy event. Don't worry, it will come after three washes." As she said this, she accepted the gift list from Xiaohong, and ordered someone to invite Mammy Rong to come over.

Nanny Rong and Nanny Zhang are now teaching Zhou Yan etiquette, so they live in Mrs. Zhou's main courtyard. After hearing about it, Nanny Rong came over, asked Xiaohong carefully, and said with a smile: "It's rare that your grandma actually I remember what I taught her so clearly, go back and tell your grandma, this nanny has to be chosen carefully, the nanny does not eat well, or eats something dirty, and the milk is not good for my brother."

When Xiaohong heard this, she hurriedly said: "I'd like to trouble Mammy for a while, at least draw up a list of what to eat and what not to eat, otherwise I won't be able to tell when I go back, and it's not easy to explain to our grandma."

Mother Rong smiled and said, "You are the only girl around your grandma who is smart."

After finishing speaking, he said to Xueyan: "I said, remember, I have taught you these things before."

Daiyu hurriedly ordered someone to come over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xueyan took the pen, and Nanny Rong said: "Nurse can't eat raw, cold, greasy, spicy, salty and sour food, can't drink tea, can't drink alcohol, and eat meat, vegetables, melons and fruits of appropriate thickness, You can't just eat one."

Xiaohong and the others kept this in mind, and then Mammy Rong will read and write down all the taboos on the list.

Xueyan secretly admired, she also knows some ways to keep in good health, these things listed by Madam Rong are indeed very important, after finishing writing, read it from beginning to end, read it again to Madam Rong, if there are no omissions, hand it over To Xiaohong.

Xiaohong was so grateful, she kowtowed to Daiyu and Nanny Rong a few times on the ground, before she said her goodbyes and left.

After Xiaohong left, Daiyu ordered people to divide the presents, keep for Daiyu herself, send the ones for Mammy Rong to Madam Rong's room, and at the same time, there is Mammy Zhang, which is equal to Nanny Rong. Slightly inferior to Daiyu, they all belong to gold bead hairpins and silk silks and satins. In addition, there are Xueyan, Zijuan, Tinglan and others. Yes, a pair of gold bracelets.

Zijuan laughed and said, "We don't have any credit, why should we have it?"

Xueyan took a look at the gold hairpins beside her, they were all in the peony style, very delicately crafted, and the gold folded silk bracelet was a four-two-weight bracelet, and said with a smile: "Don't you hear that Aiwu and Wu, we are very close Let the girl and Nanny Rong shine."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I got great merit just by looking at you."

Xue Yan stared at her with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the girl and Nanny Rong, how come I got the first credit?"

Daiyu said: "If you hadn't told me about the outside world, and I hadn't reminded her, how would she know how to regret it, and then invite Nurse Rong to teach her the rules and etiquette, and then take care of her body and give birth to a son? To get to the bottom of it, we But I'm not wrong, you really did a great job. Tomorrow, I will meet Feng girl, and I will ask you for credit."

Xueyan quickly waved her hand and said: "Those words are only for girls to say, but I can't say them. If people know that I am a little girl who tells girls about the outside world, and won't expose me, girl will forgive me soon. "

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't protect you?"

She didn't intend to say that in front of Sister Feng, and she was afraid that it would cause trouble for Xueyan. Back then, Xueyan kept the secret her father gave her for so many years. .

After joking, it was time for dinner.

Daiyu brought Xueyan to Mrs. Zhou's room for dinner. Xueyan is no longer a girl, but a guest, so she has a seat, Xueyan still backs down a bit before taking a seat.

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Your son-in-law and the old man in front will eat together, and we will eat by ourselves."

Xueyan smiled and said yes.

Not long after eating, the front sent someone to invite Xueyan to go back.

Daiyu said: "Lian's second sister-in-law gave birth. Now that you know it, don't forget the past."

Xueyan smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I know, it will be the third time."

Daiyu said: "Very well, let's see you at my grandmother's house that day."

After hearing this, Xueyan bid farewell to meet Zhao Yun, got into the car and left Zhou's house, the husband and wife were sitting in the car, Zhao Yun mentioned that the emperor's holy body was heavy, and it might be just a few days before him, Xueyan was startled suddenly, Said: "The emperor's holy body has been ill for a long time, but I also know that the master suddenly recovered, did the saint want to move the Rong family?"

Zhao Yun was taken aback, and said, "So you know this too."

Xueyan smiled and said: "If you can't guess a few points, those poems, books and historical records will be read in the dog's stomach."

Zhao Yundao: "That's not necessarily true. A scholar of Rong University can be regarded as well-read poetry and books, but he can't understand the truth that when the moon is full, the water will overflow when the moon is full. Even the Rongguo Mansion, isn't it the same? The Zhen family has been defeated. They were not vigilant at all, it was obvious that they were all fascinated by the flowers and the prosperity of cooking oil in front of them, thinking that their family would not decline."

Xueyan listened and took it for granted.

Seeing that Xueyan not only has all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at his fingertips, but also has an insight that the world doesn't have. Compared with Zhou Hong's wife, Zhao Yun is even more pleasantly surprised. The scholar Rongda was annoyed by the matter of Zhen's family and the sage did not forgive him, so he sued him in a fit of anger. Unexpectedly, the sage pushed the boat along the way and allowed him to recuperate at home, and instead transferred many officials' positions. Not good, the saint will definitely take action to cure him."

Xueyan said: "First it was the Zhen family, then the Rong family, and then the four princes and eight princes. The sages have endured for many years, and they gradually became troubled."

Zhao Yun nodded and smiled and said: "Exactly, I'm afraid that in the past two years, there will be bloody storms in the middle of the capital. I don't know how many aristocratic families have declined, and I don't know how many poor families have new prosperity, so you have to be careful in general, and you would rather stay away from the Rongguo Mansion. "

Xueyan smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Zhao Yun knew that she knew how to measure, so he didn't say any more.

Back home, it was already dark, the husband and wife only practiced calligraphy once, and then they took a rest early.

When I woke up early the next morning, there was a little rain outside the window, which washed the flowers and trees in the courtyard very clean.

Hearing the sound of reading in front of him loudly, Xue Yan waited for Zhao Yun to paint his eyebrows, then gave him a push, and said: "The students are all here for class, why don't you hurry up and eat."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "No hurry, tell them to read for a while."

As he spoke, he walked outside the door, took bamboo scissors and picked a sprig of couple Hui, and put it on the sideburns with her.

Snow geese are used to draw their eyebrows by him every day, and then pick flowers and hairpins from their temples. He has become accustomed to it, so he puts on a jade hairpin and two small beaded flowers. The pomegranate red satin skirt made her look more and more jade-like, and her lips were like cherry blossoms.

Xiaolan and Cui Liu served breakfast, which consisted of porridge, steamed buns and a few light side dishes.

After Ji Ran finished using it, Zhao Yun hurriedly rinsed his mouth and went to the front to look at the students, while Xueyan rinsed his mouth slowly, and wiped his teeth with a toothbrush dipped in green salt. Mrs. Jiang came to pay respects.

Mrs. Jiang's second son, Jiang He, married Zhao Yun's cousin, Zhao Rong. Jiang's family is also a well-known wealthy family in Bajing Town. Xueyan thought of this, and hurriedly ordered people to come to the front hall, and cleaned up after she finished her mouth.

Seeing the snow geese coming in, graceful and graceful, Mrs. Jiang was full of admiration, stood up quickly, smiled all over her face, and said, "I don't know if we have taken the liberty to visit, and whether we have disturbed the cleanliness of the house?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "Madam, come here, the humble house suddenly glows, why do you want to disturb me?" While speaking, please sit down, and then asked Xiaolan to make tea, Fang looked at Mrs. Jiang, only to see that she brought a six or seven-year-old The boy, with delicate features, is very handsome.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Jiang gave the salute and ordered the boy to meet Xueyan.

Seeing this, Xiaolan hurriedly brought over the brocade mat, but Xueyan asked in confusion, "What's the meaning of Mrs. Jiang?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "This is the eldest grandson of my eldest son's family. He is seven years old this year. He has also read a few elementary school books, but he is still smart. I brought him here specially. I want to study under Mr. Zhao's name. I don't know if I would like to." Accept this student?"

After Jiang Miao kowtowed to Xueyan, she nodded vigorously, her eyes widened, and she looked at Xueyan with expectation.

Xueyan laughed and said: "The family has a great career, can't we invite a good gentleman? Our master only teaches the students to read a few books, recognize a few words and know some truths. He assigns homework to the students, tells them to study at home, and often has holidays, Mrs. Jiang sent Mr. Sun here, lest we delay his future."

Mrs. Jiang sighed, and said: "For a family like us, we still talk about our future. No one will make people laugh."

Xueyan was startled, and then thought that Mr. Jiang seemed to be a merchant, until the Jiang He brothers focused on farming and stopped managing the business with their father. If so, their family could not participate in the imperial examination, and only after three generations could they study imperial examination

Mrs. Jiang looked sad, and said: "It stands to reason that we shouldn't bother you, but although our family has a lot of money, the town knows that our master is a businessman, and scholars probably don't think much of it, so it's even more difficult to invite a good one." The master teaches Miaoer to read, although there are a few poor scholars who give up because of lack of food and clothing for a while, but we are really worried about people like them. We don't expect Miaoer to take the imperial examination, but just want him to follow Zhao The master has read a few books, recognized a few words and understood some truths."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Could it be that the private schools in our town are not willing to accept Mr. Sun? The town doesn't accept it, but the county town doesn't accept it, isn't it also the capital city?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled wryly and said: "Although there are private schools in the town, they can't compare to Mr. Zhao's knowledge. Our family has some roots in the town, and we went to the county town and even the capital. There is no reason for us to set foot in such a noble place." I’m also afraid that a businessman’s grandson will be wronged when he goes to school. Our master usually does business in the county, and many people are exploited all year round. In recent years, our master has not done much business. It’s better to go home and be a farmer.”

Xueyan pondered for a moment, and said: "Has the family not increased the amount of money? If there is a lot of money, there will be many scholars who are willing to teach Sun Gongzi to read."

Mrs. Jiang shook her head and said, "For the sake of money, our master is even more worried."

Xueyan agreed, took a look at Jiang Miao, waved her hand and asked a few words, but how old she was, what books she read, and how many words she knew. She knew that Zhao Yun didn't care about the background of the students, and all the teaching was free, so she said: "Since someone in the family wants to send Mr. Sun to study, just tell our master."

Mrs. Jiang was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Xueyan called Guanyue, and said: "Take young master Jiang to see the master, and ask the master if he would like to accept another student."

After hearing this, Guanyue understood, and said with a smile: "Master, why did you ever care about this? As long as Mr. Jiang doesn't think the master's teaching is not good, you can come to school. It's just that the students in the school have been in school for a long time. I'm afraid Mr. Jiang can't keep up."

Xueyan said: "Young master Jiang has read a few elementary books, it's not that he doesn't know a word, you can take them there quickly, and tell me when you come back."

Guanyue agreed, and she brought Jiang Miao there.

Zhao Yun was checking the students' homework, either by reading their characters, watching their essays, or listening to their recitations. Seeing that Guanyue brought the eldest grandson of the Jiang family over, he waved his hand and told the students to stop reciting, and said, "Take him What are you doing here?"

Guanyue said with a smile: "Mrs. Jiang brought Young Master Jiang over here, and she wanted to go to school under Grandpa's door. Grandma sent me to ask Grandpa what he meant. If Grandpa agrees, I will promise Mrs. Jiang to ask Young Master Jiang to come to school every day in the future. If it's not good, grandma will reject Mrs. Jiang."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun said a few words about Jiang Miao, who also felt the same way as Xueyan, and said, "Go back and tell grandma, just say I'll accept it."

Guan Yue quickly agreed, Jiang Miao also smiled, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Yun a few times.

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "What are you doing so hard? You go back and tell your grandmother that you can come to class early in the morning."

Jiang Miao responded crisply.

Guan Yue took Jiang Miao back to the backyard, Mrs. Jiang learned that she was overjoyed, and thanked Xue Yan again and again, saying: "Tomorrow morning, our master and my eldest son will bring Miao'er over to serve tea to Master Zhao in person." kowtow."

Xueyan smiled when she heard the words, knowing that the Jiang family planned to make Jiang Miao seriously worship Zhao Yun as his teacher.

The king of heaven and earth is a parent and teacher, a teacher for a day and a father for life.

After school at noon, Zhao Yun came back for dinner and saw Xueyan playing with the salutes from the Jiang family. With an ebony pen holder and a pair of flower pouches from Ru kiln, he said: "This Jiang family is really smart, to give such a generous gift."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Although they have put their minds to it, they didn't have anything against us. They only wanted to make future generations better."

Zhao Yundao: "That's very true. In the past, Jiang's family hired two scholars to teach Jiang Miao to read, and invested a lot of money. Now that I think about it, it's better to worship under my sect. Although I can't be an official, the two families are closer, anyway. You have the old master, I have the master, and Uncle Yu is in the palace, and Uncle Lai is the county magistrate, so the Jiang family can also get some protection from you and me."

Xueyan shook her head and sighed, and said: "It's a good thing they all understand the twists and turns. You plan to be a teacher in the future, and you must teach those who have won the gold list. Do you really want to accept Young Master Jiang as your disciple?"

Zhao Yundao: "I don't have a single disciple now, how can I accept it at will? It's just a registered disciple."

Even the unnamed disciples are also Zhao Yun's students. With this relationship, the Jiang family can get a lot of blessings. Therefore, the Jiang family doesn't care that Zhao Yun didn't accept Jiang Miao as a disciple, and understands why Zhao Yun refuses to accept Jiang Miao. As disciples who entered the room, they prepared generous gifts on the second day. The rich man Jiang and his eldest son Jiang Lin dressed up and brought Jiang Miao to kowtow to Zhao Yun and serve tea.

Zhao Yun asked Jiang Miao about his homework yesterday, so he arranged for him to sit in the school with Zhao Hui temporarily.

Most of his family here are children from the clan, and they are not spoiled children. There are also a few students from extremely poor families, so they have no companions.

Mr. Jiang thought that his home was close, and no one dared to cause trouble in Zhao's house, so he took his companion away, and only came to pick Jiang Miao to and from school in the morning, noon and evening, lest his little child be abducted on the road without anyone to take care of him. Go, Zhao Yun doesn't care about these, and agrees with their actions, after all, those kidnappers only abduct some beautiful and wealthy children.

Xueyan heard Zhao Yun talking about kidnappers, and she couldn't help thinking of Yinglian's kidnapping, so she asked: "There are really many kidnappers?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "You know everything else, but you don't know this?"

Xueyan shook her head and said: "I don't know everything from heaven to earth, and I don't know many things outside. I heard you tell Jiang's worries, and I feel that it is reasonable, so I am a little curious. Back then, the wife of the Zhen family came to find her daughter. , isn’t it just being kidnapped by a kidnapper.”

Zhao Yun told her: "These kidnappers only find rich boys and girls, often there are more than one or two people, and they are often a group. They kidnap such children and raise them secretly for several years. You can earn a lot of money when you go to a big family or sell it in an unclean place. Therefore, if there are children in the family who grow up well, someone must watch them all the time, and you must not leave half a step, even if it is only half a step. , but there are so many people who regret the parting of their parents.”

Xueyan sighed: "I knew it too, but I was even more shocked when I heard you say it. The world is difficult, but fortunately I thought of avoiding to go to the countryside and buy a few acres of land and a few houses, but now it seems like a fantasy. "

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Have you still thought about it?"

Xueyan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "At that time, I didn't know that the outside was very dangerous. I only thought that the prosperous world was peaceful, and I didn't close my house at night, and I didn't pick up things on the road. Maybe I had seen a lot in Hou Men's mansion, and I wanted to live a quiet life. Thoughts. Later, I realized that it is difficult for a girl to survive outside without the support of her parents and elders, so she gave up."

Zhao Yundao: "It's fortunate that you understand it, if you don't understand it, you will regret it now."

Xueyan nodded and said: "At the beginning, the lady of Zhen's family begged to be under Grandma Zhou's door. I later asked her why. She said that she didn't dare to go all the way to Beijing alone. She didn't have a guide, and she was afraid that she would be raped by black shops or blackmailed by bandits. As soon as I heard it, I realized that I was the one who thought too much about the worldly affairs at the beginning. Now, after listening to you, I feel more enlightened."

Zhao Yundao: "It's good that you know it. If you still live in a prosperous and peaceful world, you'd be too stupid. But during festivals, there are so many abducted and trafficked children, and there are often many parents who cry heart-piercingly. It is rare to find them back, because the kidnapper took the child and immediately left the country without leaving any trace. When we have a child in the future, we must not leave our eyes at all times.”

Xueyan's face turned red immediately, and said angrily: "When will it happen, you can talk about it now."

Zhao Yun's heart moved, he took her hand, and said with a smile: "That's not sure, I hope Lin'er will come to the door."

Xueyan said: "You still say this, I remember General Zhou said that it was you who said that girls should not have children too early, preferably between 20 and 30 years old, why did you forget?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Do you think what I said made sense? I had nothing to do at the time, but I visited the surrounding villages."

Xueyan nodded, and said seriously: "It makes sense! I can't see that you understand these things. Now when women give birth, doctors don't enter the delivery room, so they can't adapt to the situation. Often when things go wrong, it's Wen Po who fiddles with her. It is prone to accidents; the second is age, the adult body has not yet grown up, the palace coat is too thin, and the fetus is naturally weak, so it is easy to have a miscarriage when it is conceived, and it is easy to die after birth. Of course, it cannot be generalized, after all, there are many young children. .As far as I can tell, what you said is not perfect."

Zhao Yundao: "Then what is your opinion?"

Xueyan said: "If a woman studies medicine and is in charge of maternal affairs, if she enters the delivery room and encounters maternal danger, she will definitely solve it. Isn't it better than ordinary doctors? The third is that women give birth, and they should be 22 or 30 years old." Between the age of [-], in fact, men also have their own opinions, but the world doesn't care about it."

Zhao Yun was very interested, and was about to ask in detail, when he heard Huo Hanlin come to pay his respects, so he had to leave this matter aside and go to the front hall first.

Xueyan had heard that Huo Xiu was Zhao Yun's classmate, she had already won the Jinshi, and now she is a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, when she saw Zhao Yun passing by, she hurriedly ordered Xiaolan to prepare some tea and fruits for her. It is an inner-made dim sum obtained from Daiyu.

After the tea fruit was delivered, Xueyan went to the study to read and practice calligraphy to relieve boredom.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Sister Feng's son washed his hands, Xueyan naturally put on a new make-up, and prepared all kinds of oil cakes, brown sugar, eggs, etc. Zhao Yun gave the students homework, and personally sent her to Zhou's house, and together with Daiyu, Fang turned around alone , Said to pick him up at night.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Zhao is very considerate to you."

Xueyan didn't answer, but said: "Could it be that General Zhou is not considerate to girls? Who doesn't know that our uncle is the most considerate."

Daiyu's face blushed, and she hurriedly said, "It's time for us to go."

Xue Yanfang said nothing, and the two sat in the same car. When they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, they greeted Jia Mu and went to visit Sister Feng first.

Confinement is very boring, but Sister Feng has given birth to Sister Qiao, so she doesn't care about it, but she can't go out to breathe, so she feels very uncomfortable. When she heard that Daiyu and Xueyan came together, she hurriedly ordered someone to come in.

Xueyan looked up and saw her with her slicked-back hair, mopping her forehead, and wearing a bright red dress, she felt even more beaming.

Sitting on the drum stool beside the bed, Daiyu looked at her little brother who was sleeping in the swaddle by the pillow, and said, "It's not like you, but like the second elder brother Lian. Look at his features, he must be a romantic and handsome man in the future." kid."

With a smile on her lips, Sister Feng said with a smug expression, "It doesn't matter if you look like him, but you can't imitate him."

After hearing this, Daiyu took a look at her and said, "You have learned a lot from a pitfall, and you have changed a lot."

Sister Feng couldn't help sighing, shook her head and said, "I just hate that I didn't listen to my sister's good fortune back then, so that I was wrong for so many years, and now it's too late to regret it."

Xueyan also followed Daiyu to meet Sister Feng's son. Although she couldn't see clearly, she vaguely resembled Jia Lian. After hearing what Sister Feng said, she smiled and said, "Knowing your mistakes can make you better, Amitabha."

Sister Feng suddenly laughed.

Suddenly it was said that the banquet was ready, Xue Yanfang followed Daiyu to the front hall.

Xueyan notices that Mrs. Xing is the happiest person today, but Mrs. Wang's expression is not very obvious. The rest Baochai has never come, only Li Wan and Tanchun Xichun, there is no one else.

After Baoyu moved to the Kuayuan next to Mrs. Wang, everything was uncomfortable, and she finally saw her sisters. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do, so she asked Aunt Xue, "Why didn't Sister Bao disappear? I haven't seen Sister Bao for a long time."

Aunt Xue knew from Mrs. Wang that she had revealed the relationship between the two families to outsiders, so she naturally fulfilled her wish, so she asked Baochai to do needlework at home instead of asking her to come over. After hearing Baoyu's question, Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Your sister I haven't been feeling well for the past two days, so I'll take care of it at home, and see you tomorrow when I get a chance."

Xueyan laughed in her heart when she heard this. Baochai is waiting to be married at home, so she can't come here.

But Baoyu thought that Baochai was ill, so he hurriedly said, "Why didn't I know that my sister was ill? Since my sister was ill, I should send someone to ask the imperial physician, and I should go to visit. I will wash Sister Feng's son in a while. After three, I will go there with my aunt."

Before Aunt Xue opened her mouth, Mrs. Wang said, "Baoyu, you haven't finished reading the book yet, so wait until you finish reading."

As soon as Baoyu heard the word "reading", he became dejected.

Jia Mu watched from above, feeling very distressed. She glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Baoyu was born weak and kind-hearted. He has seventeen or eight exquisite orifices in his heart no more than others. What do you say he does? Baoyu, hurry up." Come and sit here with me."

Baoyu hurriedly moved to Jiamu's side, with a smile on his face.

When Mrs. Wang saw it, she felt sore in her heart.

Daiyu and Xueyan frowned slightly when they saw this and heard the sound. The son of Sister Feng washed three times today, and all the family members who came were relatives, relatives, friends and family members from the neighbors, but only Baoyu, a 17-year-old young master, was present. After a bit of displeasure, Daiyu looked very embarrassed, and Xueyan also felt helpless.

Several female relatives knew Daiyu very well, looked over and saw that Daiyu was the same as them, so they had to look at each other and smile wryly.

When eating and washing three noodles, Sister Feng had invited a steady woman who delivered her baby yesterday to be the midwife grandmother, who sat at the first place, accompanied by Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing Wang, and others.After the meal, an incense table was set up to enshrine thirteen idols including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, and Xusheng Empress. Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing offered incense and kowtowed, and the admission grandmother followed behind and bowed three times. , there was a big copper basin with soup made from locust tree branches and mugwort leaves.

Jia Mu first added a spoonful of water to the basin, put a gold ingot, and added longan, red dates, peanuts and chestnuts.

The admission grandma was very happy when she saw her, and the auspicious words came one after another. The things added to the basin will belong to her after washing. Mrs. Wang Ziteng loved her daughter and put a gold collar, and Mrs. Xing also added a piece. The gold locks with red gold and emerald greens, and the rest of them put some gold and silver carabiners and other things, and filled a pot full.

Snow geese also knew this ceremony, so they released a pair of little golden scorpions.

Seeing the dazzling golden light in the basin, the confinement grandmother was even more attentive, and took Sister Feng's son to bathe him. After a little bit of water, the elder brother didn't cry. After pinching, my brother burst into tears immediately, very loudly, Mrs. Xing heard it, and said: "I heard him cry really hard, he must be a strong young man."

As soon as the elder brother cried, the confinement grandmother hurriedly wrapped him back in his swaddling clothes, and Mrs. Xing hurriedly sent him back to Sister Feng's room.

All the offerings to the gods have been burned, and the confinement grandmother took away all the things in the three basins. At this moment, I suddenly heard that the eunuch Xia came to congratulate me in person. Mother Jia and others didn't know how happy they were, so they hurriedly ordered someone to come in. .

Eunuch Xia saluted Jia Mu first, and after seeing everyone, Fang smiled and said, "The virtuous concubine is happy, the empress dowager and empress are sympathetic, and agreed to the empress's request, and ordered the old matriarch and his wife to come back at five o'clock tomorrow." Enter the palace, and relieve the empress from missing her."

Everyone was startled for a moment, but then they came to their senses and congratulated Mother Jia and the others.

Suddenly hearing that Yuanchun was pregnant, everyone in the whole family was overjoyed.

Xueyan was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered the verdict that "the durian flowers bloom to illuminate the palace".

Mother Jia was so happy that she recited Buddha's name again and again, and Madam Wang's face was even brighter. She was worried that Yuanchun would not be strong enough without the emperor's son in the palace. Who would have thought that there would be happy news today? happy event.

While Jia Mu was busy ordering people to spread the word, she asked Jia Lian to come and entertain Eunuch Xia, and said: "My brother Feng girl said that he is a noble son, with a good life and a high fortune. I didn't believe it. Who would have thought that he is not a lucky one? Today If you wash your son three times, you will get good news from your empress."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing was very proud.

At the same time, people from top to bottom of the mansion all came to kowtow to congratulate them, and the news spread quickly. Rongguo Mansion, which had already seen its downfall, instantly returned to its original glory, and there was a faint tendency to improve to a higher level.
