The maid of the red house

Before Baochai could say a word, he saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushing in. Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai, and a group of girl girls couldn't escape. The leader stared at Jia Baoyu and said, "You are Jia Baoyu?"

Today, when the Ningguo Mansion was sentenced, someone impeached Jia Baoyu. Emperor Changqian thought that the charges against the Rongguo Mansion had not yet been verified, but someone was so eager to impeach not only Jia Baoyu, but also Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others, but the following charges It is already being verified, and there is no need for the official to do so, so Emperor Changqian just ordered Baoyu to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for trial.

When making the decree, Emperor Changqian glanced at the impeached person, lowered his head and sneered, Rongguo Mansion hadn't been defeated yet, so he first expressed his loyalty to himself, but such ungrateful folly was what he despised the most.As for Jia Baoyu, a frail son, Emperor Changqian once heard Yu Liansheng mention that he was nothing more than a girl who loves fat and pink hairpins, and he didn't care much after all. After reading the poems, he didn't think that a mere son had any resentment. , so it was only detained, but not strictly dealt with.

Hearing the question from the visitor, Baoyu was pulled behind by Mrs. Wang before she could speak, and said, "What are you going to do?" Although Mrs. Wang was very afraid of these officers and soldiers, it was about Jia Baoyu, so she became more courageous Open your mouth.

Looking at Mrs. Wang who was blocking Baoyu, the leading officers and soldiers pushed her away and said coldly to Baoyu: "Jia Baoyu, come with us. If anyone stops us, our swords don't have eyes." , I don’t recognize people.” As he spoke, he showed the long knife worn on his waist, a blue light, extremely sharp, and the women in the room were terrified.

Mrs. Wang held Jia Baoyu tightly and did not let go, saying: "Baoyu, you can't follow, you left, what should I do?"

Baoyu sighed and said comfortingly, "Madam wait for me at home. Since she told me to go, she can't resist the order and disrespect."

Mrs. Wang knew that the anti-poetry matter could be big or small, so she became more panicked and cried: "When have you suffered such hardships? How can I let you go with confidence? This is a serious crime. How can prison be a place for you? You You are cute and smart, when did you do any anti-poetry? I don't understand, why impeach you as a child for no reason?"

Baochai stood aside wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and half covered her face with the handkerchief, but she was thinking that she knew all the poems that Baoyu used to write, and Baoyu made them at home. impeach him?Could it be that Baoyu was implicated because of the crimes of Ningguo Mansion?Aren't you afraid that your mansion will pursue the person who impeached him?After thinking about it for a long time, Baochai suddenly remembered that Baoyu had once written a poem called "Xinhua" in front of Jia Zheng and all Qing guests, and the tone of his words was indeed disrespectful to the court.

At this time, Baoyu asked the person: "I want to know who impeached me and what?" After hearing what Baochai said, he kept thinking about his usual poems, and the only thing he thought of was 姽Hua Ci.In his poems, he praised women's loyalty and bravery, and satirized the incompetence of monarchs and ministers, but he did not expect to be charged with crimes.

Baoyu's disposition is well-known to everyone in the capital. Hearing that he suddenly said such words, he was calm and composed, not just quiet and cowardly. The visitors couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Speaking of which, you also recognize this person. It was Jia Yucun, who was formerly the minister of the Ministry of Rites and was later demoted to the governor of the government. It is said that he is of the same clan as you, and he also took shelter under your family. When Ningguo Mansion was sentenced this time, Jia Yucun impeached your mansion Cronyism, being short of millions, exceeding the limit and other crimes, right now you are just taken there, tomorrow the charges are confirmed, and the family will not be able to escape."

Hearing that it was Jiayu Village again, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said: "You have benefited from our house, but you are so ungrateful. First you harmed my brother. Fortunately, the sage is wise and just demoted my brother. Now he comes to harm my Baoyu!"

The visitor didn't say any more, he unshackled Jia Baoyu and put it around Jia Baoyu's neck, and took it out.

Mrs. Wang called Baoyu after her, and stumbled out of the main room, but there were little moss marks. When she was going down the steps, she might as well have stepped on the ground and fell to the ground. Seeing it, she was anxious and worried, and hurriedly said loudly: "Sister, help the wife in, don't let the wife chase me."

Baochai answered with tears in her eyes. Seeing Baoyu being pulled into the shackles, she staggered and almost fell.

The prison car had already been prepared outside the door, and the officers and soldiers stuffed Baoyu into the car and pulled it away.

Baoyu sat cross-legged in the car, with no anger or joy on his face, when he passed by Ningguo Mansion, he raised his head and took a look, but in just a few months, Ningguo Mansion, which used to be a bustling scene, has now become desolate, and the seal on the door has changed color It turned yellow and was torn apart by the wind. Baoyu let out a long sigh and bowed his head in silence.

After leaving Ningrong Street, the people on the side of the road gave way one after another, and at the same time pointed to Baoyu in the prison car, someone said: "Isn't this the second master of Rongguo Mansion who bought clay figurines from me last time? How did he become a prisoner? "

Immediately someone said: "I'm also wondering, last time Master Bao bought a incense box from me with a whole bamboo root."

Baoyu vaguely heard a few words, and couldn't help looking up. It was indeed the place where he bought things in the old year. Those things were straight but not vulgar, simple but not clumsy. I bought it back to please my sisters, never thinking that they would remember me.

He also heard people say: "Looking at the rich and noble attire, he doesn't look like a prisoner."

Baoyu lowered his head and glanced at himself. The golden crown embroidered clothes were indeed brocade wrapped in wood. He had heard Zhen Baoyu say that once in prison, don't even think about leaving a single thing with him, so he smiled wryly. The things outside the body are only for the good of not hurting his parents, but he also heard that his family has been imprisoned, so it may be rare for him to die well.

The officers and soldiers directly threw him into the cell of the detention center and removed the heavy shackles.

Baoyu turned around and supported the door of the cell, looking at the direction of Rongguo Mansion, with a very worried expression on his face, not knowing what happened to the old lady at home after he left.

But she said that Mrs. Wang couldn't catch up with Baoyu because she fell down, and she couldn't help crying, crying heartbreakingly, and said: "Baoyu, my Baoyu, hurry up, Bao girl, quickly find a way to send someone to rescue Baoyu."

All the maids felt sad when they heard it, and turned their backs to wipe away their tears.

Baochai came over to help Mrs. Wang, and whimpered, "Our family is in a precarious state. The government is still discussing the charges against our family. Seeing that the matter of Ningguo Mansion has also involved our family, we can be convicted of crimes out of ten. However, relatives and friends in the world respond to attacks and avoid them for fear of being too late. Fortunately, they never bite back like Jia Yucun, and my wife and I are two women, who can we ask for help?"

In the middle of the conversation, Baochai couldn't help crying bitterly, secretly feeling the coldness of people's hearts.

Mrs. Wang also knew the reason, but she was still unwilling to give up, and without saying a word, she saw Jia Zheng coming in, ignoring Baochai, pointing to Mrs. Wang, and said, "Your good son has provoked such a kingkiller?" The matter of killing my father! Pity our century-old family for being provoked by such a wicked person to harm our family!"

Seeing Jia Zheng, Baochai hurriedly bowed her head and remained silent, and all the servant girls were even more silent. Only Aunt Zhao stood under the curtain, secretly delighted at Jia Zheng's words, and kept nodding her head in agreement. But when Baochai glanced over, Zhao Aunt quickly restrained her attitude.

Mrs. Wang stood up with great difficulty, but felt a sharp pain in her foot. She knew that she had sprained her foot when she fell down, but this pain was more serious than Baoyu's accident. I don’t know how to evade my usual speech, so how do outsiders know? It’s the impeachment of Jia Yucun, who was a friend of the master. If the master doesn’t say how to save Baoyu, what’s the use of accusing me here? If the master can vent his anger, he simply took a rope to let me Hanging to death can be regarded as an apology to the master."

Baochai remembered what the officers and soldiers said, and suddenly remembered two things that happened in the past. She was still lamenting what Jia Zheng's Qing people did when they went to Jia Yucun's gate, but she didn't expect it to be for this reason, so she stepped forward and cried: I heard that it was not Erye's fault, I heard that he was a Qing guest from the master's sect, and recently defected to Jia Yucun's sect, and testified to Jia Yucun that Erye had written anti-poetry."

Jia Zheng was taken aback and asked, "Which cleanups are they? Why don't I know?"

Baochai was secretly glad that she had sent someone early to inquire about the news, and said in a low voice, "It's Shan Pinren, Zhan Guang and others."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurried to the small study, and when he asked, it turned out that Shanpin Ren Zhan Guang and others hadn't come here since the accident in Ningguo Mansion, and the only remaining Qing guest guessed that they might have picked Gao Zhier to fly away.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng sank down on the chair.

But when Jia She and others heard that Baoyu was arrested, it was anti-poetry. Jia She was so angry that he scolded Jia Yucun and said, "It's really a crime. Why doesn't it stop? Lian'er, go quickly Investigate." Now that the case of Ningguo Mansion is involved in their heads, he is thinking about how to ask someone to spend money to clear it up, so that the investigating officials will report back to Emperor Changgan that it is a false accusation, and he does not want Mr. Baoyu to settle the matter and make an anti-poetry , Although it is not as heinous as treason, but it should not be underestimated, and it will definitely affect the family.

Jia Lian hurried over when he got the news outside, and hurried out again when he heard Jia Amnesty's words.

The people in the capital just finished the new year, and they were discussing about the Ningguo Mansion. They heard that Jia Zhenjiarong and his son had been convicted and sentenced to beheading. Now that Jia Baoyu was arrested, they knew that the Rongguo Mansion could not escape the Ningguo Mansion. The same fate as the government.

After Mrs. Zhou heard about this, she sighed and said to Zhou Yuan, "Is the Rongguo Mansion convicted?"

Zhou Yuan didn't care about this matter because of his taboo, he just said: "Investigate first, if it is true, it is also a house raid, I am afraid it will be too soon."

Mrs. Zhou sighed: "Although I can also excuse my relatives to stay away from the capital, but it is too obvious, so I have to stay in the capital. We usually say that when our family is in decline, we have suffered from the harshness of the world. Their family is always relatives. Even if Ning and Princess didn't care about Hong's daughter-in-law back then, our family couldn't stand by and watch."

Zhou Yuan nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yan came over and heard these words, and asked, "What are the plans of the father and mother? Just tell the son to do it."

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "You wait for the marriage first. When you are married, your brother is not at home, and you have to take care of everything at home. Your sister-in-law and I have already made plans for Rongguo Mansion. There is no need You bother."

Zhou Yan was surprised and said, "Could it be that mother and sister-in-law have expected the Rongguo Mansion to have today's disaster?"

Mrs. Zhou looked at her second son. Although he was stronger than other sons of the same age, he was not as thorough as Daiyu. She expected eight or nine points, and said: "Looking at their family showing off their power every day, you know that you can't do it." It's been a long time, but I didn't expect that brother Bao of their family would write any anti-poetry."

Zhou Yandao: "I've heard a few words of this slang word, and it really isn't very appropriate. It is said that the political lord brought the Qing guests to appreciate it, and asked Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan to make it face to face. I didn't expect it to be caused such a catastrophe.”

Although it is the fault of Baoyu's poems, it is not the fault of Jia Zheng. If he has no intention of showing off, how can outsiders know?

What happened to Jia Baoyu caught the Rongguo Mansion by surprise. As soon as Baoyu was imprisoned, Jia's mansion jumped up and down asking people to come in, but they were all politely rejected. Thank you at the door, but the prince of Beijing and Baoyu are very friendly. After meeting Jia Lian, he agreed to mediate for Baoyu.

Jia Lian felt a little comforted in his heart. Everyone said that Shui Rong was a virtuous king, who was born with both talent and appearance, and was not bound by officials and customs.

After coming out of the Beijing Palace, Jia Lian went to the detention center again and paid Baoyu to make him more comfortable in the cell.

When Baoyu saw Jia Lian coming to visit, he couldn't help his eyes turning red. Although there was a serious rift between the two families, when things came to an end, they still had some kind of kinship, and they didn't stand idly by.He had only been in the detention center for a few days, and all his accessories were taken away by the jailer, including the Lingbao jade and the collar, and now only his brocade clothes are left, which is extremely filthy.

Ever since the story of the golden jade, Baoyu didn't value the psychic gem very much. If he wanted to, he would have hidden the psychic gem privately when he first entered the cell, so he let the jailer take it away.

Seeing his appearance, Jia Lian reached out through the prison door, patted his shoulder, and said, "Be patient."

Baoyu hurriedly asked Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang if they were well. Jia Lian said, "Don't worry, it's okay for a while."

After hearing this, Baoyu sighed: "It's okay for a while, how can it be okay for a long time? Our family's crime is still there. If it is verified, who can escape? I just came in one step earlier than the family, that's all right." , you don’t have to watch our family being raided like Zhen’s, and you don’t have to watch your parents go to jail.”

Jia Lian felt sour in his heart and was speechless.

After leaving the detention center, Jia Lian returned to the mansion, but he didn't see Brother Kui and Sister Qiao, and asked, "Where did you send my brothers and sisters?"

Sister Feng was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, drawing her eyebrows and nodding her lips. She turned her head and said, "My lord is not busy taking care of things outside right now. Why do you ask these little things? My own sons and daughters, can I wrong them? Today Er Xiaohong came to say hello, talking about the scenery outside, Brother Kui and Sister Qiao liked it very much, so I decided to let them stay at my brother's house for a few days."

Jia Lian pointed at her angrily and said, "What time is this, and you still let the two children go out!"

Sister Feng smiled lightly, and asked back: "I don't know when, sir, tell me? My brother is their own uncle, can they still kidnap two children? Besides, the house is so noisy, what does it do to the children?" Okay?" Seeing that the situation at home was not good, she asked Xiaohong to pick up Brother Kui and Sister Qiao, and entrusted her to her old mother and brothers. Although the Wang family was defeated, but because of the death of her father, it would not be easy for another major incident to happen. Right now I only hope that the mansion can escape this difficulty and bring back two more children.

Jia Lian said: "Brother Kui is still young, thanks to you."

When Sister Feng heard this, she sneered and remained silent.

Jia Lian stomped her feet and said, "Forget it, forget it, everyone said that our family can't escape, you should think of a way first, move some of your belongings, and leave a way out for the family."

Sister Feng heard the words and said: "Our family handed over the things sent by the historian to the court, but now we know that we have broken the law? Now we can't save Baoyu, who has the courage to hide our family's things? Letting people know is another serious crime. I see that the uncle is staying at home obediently, waiting to be dealt with." Anyway, she cannot escape, so there is no need for another disturbance.

What he said made Jia Lian leave in a hurry, intending to send someone to pick up the child, but also thinking of sending something away. He didn't want to see Lai Da hurried over as soon as he walked out of the door, and said in a panic: "Master, go out and have a look." , Something big happened."

Jia Lian was surprised and said, "What happened again?"

Lai Da hesitantly said: "That's Bao Er, drunk and talking nonsense outside."

As soon as he heard the word Bao Er, Jia Lian suddenly felt ominous, and asked, "What did you say?"

Lai Da whispered: "It is said that the uncle relied on his power and took his wife forcibly, was bumped into by the grandmother, and fought for a while. His wife could not bear the humiliation, and she was hanged to death with a hemp rope. It is said that the uncle paid them off without filing a complaint. lawsuit."

Jia Lian only felt buzzing in his ears, and shouted sharply, "What else did you say?"

Lai Dao Dao: "It is also said that the second master secretly married the second wife during the period of national filial piety and family filial piety, and he and the wife he married later served in the past."

Jia Lian was very angry and said, "It's terrible, why don't you just gag him and bring him back!"

Lai Da replied with a sad face: "I'm afraid I can't. Bao Er has heard such nonsense in the streets and alleys. Many people have heard it. Now he has been detained by Zhang Dashi's people. He said that we need to investigate. If it is true, we will Another charge has been added to the family."

Jia Lian was so anxious that he walked out and sighed: "If sister Lin is still in the capital, someone in our family can talk about love. Who doesn't know that Master Zhang is an old friend of Uncle Lin. It's a pity that sister Lin lived in the past years. When we were here, except for Sister Lin who prepared the gift herself, the family didn't care." At this moment, it was too late to regret it.

When Sister Feng heard them talking, she lifted the curtain and came out. Standing on the porch and looking out, she saw that spring snow was falling outside.

Ping'er came over to present the cloak, and said: "Seeing that the sky is getting warmer, I didn't expect it to snow again. Grandma, go back to the house and freeze carefully."

A few servants stood at the door, looking over here, and seeing that Sister Feng was still dressed brilliantly in colorful embroidery, they couldn't help curling their lips, with a strange look on their faces, pointing at Sister Feng, as if mocking Sister Feng's doom.

Ping'er was very upset when she saw it, but Sister Feng acted as if she hadn't seen it, and said in a low voice, "I just hope that the two children are safe."

The snow kept falling, and within a short while, a thick layer of white flowers had accumulated on the ground, making the mansion even more lonely and cold.

When Jia Lian arrived at Rongxi Hall, he faced the teacup thrown by Jia She. He dodged a little, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Going to play with the servant's wife, now it's good, you've caused trouble, and you said Baoyu was wrong before, you are more hateful than him!"

Jia Lian fell to his knees, kowtowed and said nothing.

When people in the Rongguo Mansion were in a state of panic, the charges outside had been found out, and they were all true. Emperor Changqian had expected it, and immediately issued an order, ordering Zhang Xuan to personally lead people to arrest a group of criminals and search their homes.

Although Zhang Xuan has never done these things, but because of his friendship with Zhou Yuan, he is very clear about it.

Coincidentally, it was Jia Zheng's birthday. Although Baoyu was in prison, he was a little unhappy, but the servants still came to kowtow to celebrate his birthday. Some relatives and friends from the family also came. Before they left, Zhou Rui hurried in and ran to Jia Zheng. Said: "My lord, something happened at Rongxi Hall. Many officials surrounded our house, and some officials came here."

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then he let out a long sigh, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Finally it's our turn."

When the guests heard the sound, they immediately regretted it, they shouldn't have come here.

Jia Zheng apologized to everyone, and was about to go out when he saw Li Zhao entering with dozens of yamen servants with their heads held high. Jubilee hall listens to the decree."

All the guests dispersed, and Li Zhao ordered people to find out their identities and let them go. Jia Zheng had to follow Li Zhao to Rongxi Hall.

Before leaving, Li Zhao told the yamen servants: "Guard the front and rear doors, and don't allow people in the courtyard to go in and out. In addition, all the things in the east courtyard are sealed up according to the rules. They are not allowed to be taken out without permission, and they are not allowed to be easily damaged."

All the yamen servants listened to the order and went to take care of themselves.

Mrs. Wang was seriously ill because of Baoyu, and she was resting in her room. Baochai was serving beside her, when she suddenly saw the yamen servants rushing in, she couldn't help being startled, and was about to get up, when they were held down by everyone, and then they rummaged through the boxes and boxes to pack up their things, all of them Envelope.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang felt that her eyes went dark and she passed out.

Before Baochai came back to her senses, she heard crying and shouting in and out of the courtyard.

The group of people did not dare to move, Li Wan hugged Jia Lan and trembled, watching the yamen servants seize all their belongings, weeping secretly, she had endured for many years, but she was a chaste woman, she did not expect to end up in such a state, she only hoped After the case was settled, the imperial court returned their savings for the sake of keeping their chastity. According to the rules of other families' house raids, it was the same for chaste women.

When everything was sealed up, the Rongxi Hall over there, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, had received the order and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial.

The three of them were pulled out of the mansion with the shackles on their shoulders, and behind them were the servants of the family members.

When Rongguo Mansion was raided, Daiyu, Xueyan and his wife had already arrived at the West Coast.

Because Daiyu was pregnant, her journey was very slow, and she walked for half a year. When she disembarked, someone was sent by Zhou Hong to pick her up. There was a carriage pulling luggage, a carriage, and a sedan chair. Before disembarking, he had already sent someone to announce the good news to Zhou Hong. When Zhou Hong learned about it, he was ecstatic and wished to come here in person, but he was on business and could not leave without permission, so he sent his own soldiers and servants over and asked Daiyu to sit in a sedan chair instead of a carriage , lest the carriage be too bumpy.

Xueyan has been by Daiyu's side every day since Daiyu was happy, and she is more careful than anyone else. She always comforts and persuades Daiyu when Daiyu is sad and tears, so as not to feel depressed, and often hugs Brother Qi to tease her. Opening his arms, he could hear someone's words, and said with a smile: "The general loves the girl, so the sedan chair is really better."

Daiyu said angrily, "Well, it's up to you to say."

A group of people either rode horses, or took carriages, or sat in sedan chairs, and headed for the mansion that Zhou Hong had already prepared. Tidy up.

Because there are so many generals stationed in Xihai Yanzi, they all live in one place, so Zhou Hong got his own mansion. Next to General Shen Rui, there is a compound with three entrances. There are about thirty rooms, and Zhao Yun also found a mansion. The Chu house, next to their house, is just a small and exquisite courtyard with a complete front hall and back room.

After Xueyan entered the house, she was very satisfied. A dozen or so houses were enough for their family, so she was busy cleaning the house and installing appliances.

It was finally cleaned up, and the next day Shen Rui's wife hosted a banquet to welcome them.

Daiyu replied to the post to apologize, but she didn’t go there. Although Xueyan took good care of her on the way, after all, it’s not good for her health. The male guests of the Shen family were in the front hall, and the female guests were in the back hall. Mrs. Shen invited the wives of officials and generals along the West Sea to accompany them.

Xueyan's identity is not worth mentioning in your orders, but everyone knows that Zhao Yun is Zhou Hong's aide, and no one neglects her.

Therefore, there is no record of what happened on this day.

Daiyu felt sorry for not going there, and asked Zhou Hong to confess to Shen Rui again and again.

After Zhou Hong came back, he saw her walking around the room tremblingly with her waist supported. Because of her slender and graceful figure, her stomach was showing more and more. She looked very scary, and her face turned pale with shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down. Staring at her belly, he said, "Be careful. With you like this, even if you want to go out, I can't let you go out. General Shen is very considerate, so don't be too harsh on yourself."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I'm not so delicate."

However, Zhou Hong said: "If I had known that you were pregnant, I should have let you stay in the capital for recuperation. It would be better to have a mother, but I didn't expect that it was found out after more than a month after leaving the capital, so I let you run around." I have been tired for several months, and since I got the news, I have been terrified every day, lest you suffer because of him."

Daiyu held his hand back and said with a smile: "There are snow geese taking care of me, what are you worried about?"

When Xueyan was pregnant, she gained weight and gained twenty or thirty catties, but Daiyu was different from her. Except for her belly, her body shape remained unchanged. She still had icy skin and flawless white jade. Complaining, feeding Daiyu four or five times a day to replenish her body, but she is still as usual, every time she thinks about it, she finds it funny.

Zhou Hong sighed: "No matter how meticulous you are, it won't last a few months."

Although he was also looking forward to having a precious son early, he was even more worried that Daiyu's body would not be able to bear it. Even though the doctor repeatedly said that Daiyu had recovered after many years of treatment, he was still worried. Now seeing Daiyu's slender figure, he felt even more worried worried.

Daiyu heard his concern and smiled slightly, her heart was as sweet as honey.When she was in Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng was pregnant. When did Jia Lian worry about Sister Feng so much, but she was just happy to finally have a son.What she is most proud of in her life is not having such glory and wealth, but Zhou Hong's heart towards her, comparable to the sun and the moon.

Rubbing her stomach, Daiyu suddenly remembered what others said about adopting a son and ugly mother, she frowned and said: "If this baby is not a son, what should I do if I give birth to a daughter?"

Zhou Hong is the eldest son, of course the son is the most important thing, but he smiled and said: "Whether it is a son or a daughter, they are all of your blood and blood. When a daughter is born, it is the jewel in the eye and the treasure in the palm of the hand. Prepare a dowry for her early. In order not to be in a hurry, we are still young, and we will give birth to a younger brother for her in the future."

After hearing this, Daiyu let go of her anxiety slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong made up his mind to pay more attention to Daiyu's thoughts when he was at home, so as not to worry about her.

After the cleansing feast, Daiyu rested for half a month, and her energy recovered a little, but her belly was swollen, so it was difficult to go out and walk around, and most of them were visited by others. She was of the same level as Mrs. Shen, but Daiyu's level was not that of Zhou Hong. However, Mrs. Shen is a rich husband and wife, and military generals are always half a rank lower than civil officials, so she has visited Daiyu many times, and she can see Xueyan every time.

After Xueyan came here, she was not in a hurry to socialize with people, but she made Mrs. Shen look at her differently. She would often ask Xueyan to sit down, talk to her about your orders, and introduce her to her. Then Xueyan led them to see Daiyu .

Both Daiyu and Xueyan are exquisite and translucent people. Although they are newcomers and don't go out often, they soon became acquainted with everyone.

Don't want Baoqin but Xiaoyue, Xueyan hurried over to comfort her.

It turned out that Baoqin was young and ignorant, Liu Xianglian had a dissolute disposition, and she acted a bit indulgently. The husband and wife didn't pay attention to it.

Xueyan cared about Daiyu all her heart, and never paid attention to other people's affairs. Seeing her like this, she couldn't say anything, she could only persuade her, saying: "Don't cry, you can't cry in the confinement, it hurts your eyes carefully." , there are times when you regret it. Besides, you are still young, so you can take care of your body, and there is nothing wrong with it."

After hearing this, Baoqin quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "I only hate that I'm ignorant, I don't know, otherwise why would I be like this."

Xueyan sighed. Although Baoqin had a housemate and a girl after she got married, she didn't have a close-fitting nanny at home. Her nanny was also sent home when she went to Beijing to get married that year. No one reminded her, so it was inevitable that she would be unhappy. know this.

After thinking for a while, Xueyan said: "You will learn a lot from a pit, you should be more careful in the future after this."

Baoqin nodded and said: "Good sister, I'm young, I don't know, I have to remind me more."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you don't understand, just ask me, I will write you another list in a while, and don't neglect what you should pay attention to during the confinement period. Maintaining a healthy body is a serious matter, and everything else is left behind for now.”

After hearing this, Baoqin hurriedly agreed solemnly.

After Xueyan left, Liu Xianglian came in. The husband and wife looked at each other speechlessly, feeling sad.Baoqin endured the heartache, comforted Liu Xianglian and pleaded guilty, and because she was too confinement to serve him, she gave one of the dowry girls, Mingyue, a face to Liu Xianglian in the house. Liu Xianglian was originally a child of an aristocratic family. I didn't feel much about it, so I accepted it as I said.

After hearing this, Xueyan was eating with Daiyu at Daiyu's place, and they were startled for a moment.

When Zhao Yun arrived here, he was not at home every day, but lived in the camp with Zhou Hong for five days, trained hard with the soldiers, and then came back to rest for a day. When they were not at home, Xueyan brought her son to accompany Dai Yu, if they come back, I will take Brother Qi home. The happiest thing is Daiyu, and the relationship between the two has deepened.

Hearing that Baoqin gave Liu Xianglian the dowry girl, Daiyu put down her job and sighed slightly.

Brother Qi sat beside Xueyan, holding a spoon, looked up at Daiyu, and said: "Auntie eats, younger brothers and sisters eat."

Brother Qi is now one and a half years old, he walks steadily, speaks clearly, Daiyu likes it very much, and because Xueyan is also an imperial order now, Daiyu often says that a hero does not care about his background, not because Brother Qi is the son of her maidservant. I looked down on him, so since Brother Qi could speak, I taught him to call him my aunt, Zhou Hongshibo.

Hearing Brother Qi's milky voice, Daiyu couldn't help but smile, and said, "Brother Qi is good, since you are young, you start to care about whether I eat well. Okay, I'll eat now."

But Xueyan touched the rim of the bowl, turned her head and said to the maid: "It's getting cold, go get grandma another bowl."

The servant girl heard this and hurried over to cook.

After eating silently, everyone went to talk in Daiyu's room. Brother Qi sat on the chair next to him, dangling his short legs. No matter what Daiyu and Xueyan said, he would listen with a smile on his face, even if he couldn't hear it at all. Understand.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered June, and the four seasons here are like spring, and the hot summer is not very hot, but it is the time for Daiyu to give birth.

Xueyan was from here, so she had already prepared well, took out all the old clothes worn by brother Qi, boiled them in boiling water and washed them, and planned to wear them for Daiyu's son after he was born, but Zhou Hong felt that it was not enough. Every time after the military training, he would take Zhao Yun to discuss what to do, and Dr. Wen Po would be at home.

Daiyu smiled and said, "What's the hurry? There are snow geese."

Zhou Hongdao: "After all, you can't compare to a stable woman. You are born and rested at home. Except for Brother Qi, mother and son, don't see anyone else. Be careful, I can't accompany you every day. It's my fault."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Don't say that, can't I ask you to ask for leave to stay at home for me? If you do this, I will look down on you."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard someone report, "Mr. Liu Qian's wife brought her sister-in-law to visit grandma."

Hearing this, Daiyu asked in surprise, "When did Big Sister Xing come here?"

After speaking, please hurry up.

Zhou Hong frowned, avoided it, and went to the study to sit for a while.

After Baoqin finished confinement, her body was as good as before, she came in with Xing Xiuyan, and said, "Sister Lin, did we bother my sister? My brother and sister-in-law arrived yesterday, and today my sister-in-law is here to say hello to my sister."

After Baoqin got married, Xue Biao married Xing Xiuyan. The betrothal gift sent to the Xing family was very rich. Although the Xing family was poor and had no money to buy a dowry for Xing Xiuyan, they used the betrothal money to buy her a dowry and added the dowry. With the addition of makeup by Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, Baochai and others, it can be regarded as a rich marriage.

Xue Biao thought that his sister and son-in-law were all in the West Sea, and that Jinling’s family’s house had fallen again. Also, when Xue Pan was there, he ran amok in the village and did a lot of evil. It is not easy to gain a foothold in Jinling, so I brought my mother and wife and the whole family here to do business. Here Liu Xianglian is in the army, which is better than in Jinling. Their mother has been ill for several years. It doesn't matter.

After listening to the two aunts and sisters-in-law's intention to come to Xihai Yanzi, Daiyu was very happy, and said with a smile: "It's good that sister Xing is here, I'll treat you tomorrow, let's do another poem."

Xing Xiuyan smiled. He originally planned to talk about the robbery of Rongguo Mansion, but when he saw Daiyu's bulky figure, he kept his mouth shut. Baoqin had already learned from Xing Xiuyan. Seeing that she didn't speak, Fang Lue felt relieved .

Daiyu is a very smart person, she can distinguish color by appearance, and she can see something, when she wants to ask, she suddenly mobilizes.

Yuanyang and the others ordered hot water to be prepared in an orderly manner, Wen Po was called, and nuns helped Daiyu into the delivery room, and then apologized to Baoqin and the others, asking them to stay away, and then sent someone to tell Zhou Hong, Also sent someone to call Xueyan.

Daiyu's birth was not going well, Xueyan came over and went into the delivery room, very comforted.

After staying up for a day and a night, Daiyu still hadn't given birth. Although she didn't want Zhou Hong to ask for leave for her, but hearing her giving birth in the delivery room with difficulty and her screams piercing her heart, Zhou Hong was very anxious and hurried to Shen Rui to ask for leave. After two days of vacation, Shen Rui thought that there had been no wars in the West Coast recently, and heard that Daiyu had given birth to a child, and the birth was very difficult. Considering Daiyu's identity, she agreed to Zhou Hong's request.On the other hand, when others heard this, they all secretly laughed at Zhou Hong for his shortness of breath and love for his sons and daughters.

Zhou Hong didn't care, and hurried back home, but Daiyu was still unborn, and even Xueyan was sweating from anxiety.

For a long time, Xueyan calmed down and calmed Daiyu slowly. After another half an hour, she heard a baby crying.

Daiyu's mind relaxed, she just felt weak and passed out.

Xueyan was shocked, and hurriedly pressed her pulse, only to find that she was only out of strength, so she was relieved, bathed and weighed the baby, cut the umbilical cord, she is a very heavy brother
