[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

Inside the carriage, Xia Xiang closed his eyes and meditated, his slightly frowned eyebrows revealed that he was not calm at the moment.In fact, the scene of the storm pavilion has been lingering in his mind.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

The groom opened the car curtain, "Master, we're here."

Xia Xiang let out a "hmm", stretched his brows, and slowly opened his eyes.

In Yifu Courtyard, Concubine Zhou and a group of maids and women sat around the kang, cutting small clothes and shoes for the child who was about to be born.Originally, Concubine Zhou didn't need to do this by herself, but she couldn't hold back her loving motherly heart. Besides, she made many of her elder sister's clothes, so she couldn't treat one more favorably than another.

Concubine Zhou has an approachable personality, she is not very old, she is only in her early twenties, and she can chat well with the little maids below.The master is so easy-going, and the little girls are naturally no longer restrained. Usually, the master and the servant are doing the work at hand, talking about the family life happily, so Concubine Zhou heard a lot of gossip from the servants during her pregnancy.

Now she was pinching the time, counting that Xia Xiang would be back soon, so she sent away the maid and mother-in-law together, and started making dinner.

Since Concubine Zhou became pregnant, Xia Xiang hardly stepped into Pei's courtyard again. Even if Concubine Zhou was pregnant and couldn't serve him, he was happy with it. He would rather sleep with Concubine Zhou in his arms every night than go to see anyone else.

Uh uh uh... this should be considered true love, right? ?

As soon as Xia Xiang stepped into the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure busy in and out, his heart warmed, and he walked up to Concubine Zhou and hugged her gently, "You have a big belly, why bother to do this yourself."

Concubine Zhou pinched Xia Xiang's sleeve, looked up at him, and said with a smile, "What kind of hard work is this? Besides, I'm happy!"

The two looked at each other, then smiled tacitly.

In a short while, dinner is ready.

At the dinner table, Xia Xiang talked to Concubine Zhou about the incident at the Fengbo Pavilion at noon, and then told Concubine Zhou how she felt in her heart.

"I always thought he was still the fifth younger brother who was weak and sick, but at noon in the Fengbo Pavilion, he was radiant and narrated his political opinions. He didn't look like a sick person at all? That swaggering state was better than that of a healthy person like me. The mental outlook is fine."

Hearing Xia Xiang's complaints, Concubine Zhou couldn't help but think of the days before when she accompanied Mrs. Pei to the palace to visit the sick queen, and listened to the gossip from the maids around the queen, saying that the concubine Xian didn't want to take charge of the six palaces. The fifth prince's health is also not good, and she needs to take care of him all the time, so he can't take care of other things at all.

But who knows that Xia Zhen's health has suddenly improved a lot not long ago, but in just a few months, his whole body has changed from weak to full of energy, and he walks vigorously.Ordinarily, it is impossible for Xia Xiang not to notice such a big change, but it is probably because Xia Zhen's frail and sickly image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which made Xia Xiang feel like a different person.

"A few days ago, I went to the palace to visit the empress, but I heard people below mention that the fifth prince's health has improved a lot recently."

Xia Xiang sighed, "I don't care about this, but my father finally gave me a chance to perform. I obviously prepared for a long time, but the answer is that I am not as good as my fifth brother. You don't know the scene at that time. My younger brother talks about his opinions eloquently, and his demeanor is really impressive! I feel ashamed of myself in front of him. Sigh... No wonder Father has so many children who only dote on fifth younger brother."

Concubine Zhou knew that what Xia Xiang cared most about was Xia Xu's opinion of him. Now that the fifth prince robbed her of the limelight, she must feel uncomfortable. Look, the prince is not much worse than him!"

After all, he held his chin in both hands and looked at Xia Xiang pretending to worship.

Xia Xiang smiled and nodded her forehead, "Jun'er, don't comfort me, I know how much I am, fifth brother... is indeed the best among all brothers and sisters. I am still very jealous of him Yes, not only is the father's preference, but the mother and concubine also have to be valued by the father. Although I compete with him, I have to admit that he is more suitable for the position of prince than me. The younger siblings are counted as one, and they all like it. He, everyone loves to be close to him, children can't make flattering gestures, it can be seen that the fifth younger brother really has a heart of benevolence."

Concubine Zhou was noncommittal about this, and the fifth prince did have all the secrets in everything. However, the tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. A perfect person like this will not be able to live long.

Xia Xiang grabbed the hand of Concubine Zhou who was on the side, and stroked her slightly protruding pregnant belly with the other hand, and said with a serious expression: "Even if I am not the one who ascends to the Great Treasure in the end, as long as he is on the throne, I will be very relieved. baby."

Concubine Zhou's expression moved slightly, "My lord, you..."

Is the Fifth Prince so convincing?How could it make him disregard the life and death of his own child?

Xia Xiang withdrew his hand on Concubine Zhou's pregnant belly, Zhuan'er put on a smiling expression, and said relaxedly: "Okay! Let's not talk about this topic. Isn't Sheng'er engaged, that girl is now ten It's five or six, how is the marriage going?"

As soon as Concubine Zhou heard Xia Xiang mentioning her natal family, she unconsciously had a lot to say: "Hey! Don't mention it. I was already preparing for the wedding, but who knew that the champion's father died suddenly, and the marriage was postponed. I have to go back to Ding You to keep my filial piety for three years." Speaking of this, Concubine Zhou sighed sadly, "I have just entered the officialdom, and now I have to deal with such a thing, a great opportunity wasted for nothing, I will vomit to death!"

Speaking of Gao Gaoxuan, the image of a young man with high spirits and exquisite appearance appeared in Xia Xiang's mind. He smacked his lips and felt very emotional: "That is a big man. Since the founding of the Nanke Kingdom, there are only two people who have won the Sanyuan. One is Gongsun Hengshi. The other one is him. What is rare is that he was involved in the fraud case back then, not to mention that he was able to retake the exam three years later! Just focus on this, and you know that there is something behind this person. So, you just let it go One hundred two minds, this is not an ordinary person, he has great supernatural powers, mere Ding You can't affect his official career."

As soon as Concubine Zhou heard that he mentioned the fraud case, she thought of Xie's family, and thought of the fact that the Empress of the Spring River Banquet wanted Zhou Sheng to be her niece and nephew. It’s hard to keep up with this in my heart!”

Seeing Concubine Zhou's unreasonable anger, Xia Xiang couldn't help being puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, "Why are you so angry?"

Concubine Zhou snorted coldly, and told Xia Xiang everything about the Spring River Banquet that day. After she finished speaking, she added, "Thanks to Sheng'er for finding such a good husband-in-law, if you really marry into Xie's family, Sheng This life will be ruined!"

Xia Xiang couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "The Xie family is indeed becoming more and more unrestrained, let alone mentioning the fraud case at the beginning, just say that recently, the uncle of the Xie family was provoking troubles outside and occupying the women, and many of my subordinates complained to me. complain."

Concubine Zhou said unhappily: "My lord, I shouldn't have said something. Now is the critical moment for you, and you will be caught and impeached if you make a slight mistake. I live in fear, but his family has repeatedly committed crimes. Say yes It is said that one person does things and one person is responsible, but we are in the same boat now. If something happens to his family, can we ignore it? In the end, you will have to wipe their ass. If you want me to say that it is time to teach them a lesson, Let them restrain them, otherwise, with his family's arrogant temperament, one day they may kick the iron plate, and then not only will they hurt themselves, but also implicate us!"

Seeing Concubine Zhou getting more and more excited, Xia Xiang comforted her, "Don't be angry, I have my own measure. Now you just give birth to the child in your womb and take good care of your eldest sister, so you are doing my part. .”

Concubine Zhou calmed down a little under Xia Xiang's comfort.Xia Xiang won't hide some things from her. For example, compared to the fifth prince's faction, their advantage is their children. After all, who is Xia Zhen who has been unwilling to let go of marrying a wife and having children? Not in a hurry.How can I say that Xia Zhen is also his favorite child, there's no reason why he can't start a family at such an old age, a father doesn't worry at all...

Concubine Zhou told Xia Xiang the doubts in her heart, and said hesitantly: "The fifth prince must have some hidden illness, right? It would be reasonable to say that he refused to delay other girls because of his illness, but now he is physically ill. Since it is very good, Concubine Xian told him about family relationship not long ago, but he refused again. Father also let him do all important things in his life, even favoring is not such a way of pampering."

"How is it possible!" Xia Xiang immediately denied, "My fifth younger brother has always kept himself clean and never had any bad habits. How could he have hidden diseases? Impossible, impossible..."

Concubine Zhou saw that her idea was denied, she suddenly had a big brain hole, grabbed Xia Xiang's hand, leaned in front of him, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "Then you say, the fifth brother is not a good man... "

Xia Xiang looked at Concubine Zhou amusedly, "If he dares, my father will be the first to spare him."

Concubine Zhou was also confused when she saw that her thoughts were refuted one by one, "This is not true, and that is not true, so why do you say it is because of it? A teenager in his teens is just at the time of his youth, so there is no reason to be concerned about it." I don't want to, I heard that the fifth younger brother doesn't even have a maid in the room!"

Xia Xiang glanced at the bright moon rising outside the window, and said with a sneer, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean that he doesn't have one. But the specific reason for not getting married is unknown."

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, in order to prevent Shenjiao from giving birth suddenly, several members of the Lin family stayed at home for the festival without going anywhere.

Both Shen Fang and Concubine Xian expressed their understanding of this, and it happened that Lin Qing was resting for a few days, so he rejected all the invitations outside, and stayed by Shen Jiao's side with peace of mind.

Shenjiao himself was also very nervous, so he specially ordered someone to prepare the Wenliang inkstone in case of an emergency.

But until the evening of August [-]th, when the full moon was over, Shenjiao's stomach still didn't move when it was Haishi.Daiyu believed in her own calculation at first, thinking that she must be born on this day, but who knows that guy can't come out, so she couldn't help being very frustrated.

Although Shenjiao also wanted to have a good fortune, as long as the child in her stomach was healthy, she didn't really care about the exact day when it was born, and Lin Qing let it go.

Seeing that Shenjiao still hadn't moved at this late hour, she washed up and got ready to go to bed, but as soon as Shenjiao lay on the bed, the amniotic fluid suddenly broke, and she immediately mobilized, catching everyone by surprise.

Fortunately, the preparations were sufficient, and Shenjiao's delivery this time was surprisingly smooth, and she gave birth safely in less than an hour.

He's a big fat boy!

Lin Qing was so excited when he became a father for the first time, he didn't dare to hug the child when the maid handed him over.

A few days after the production, Lin Qing directly repaired a letter and sent it to Jiangnan.In the letter, the child's birth date was written, and Lin Ruhai was asked to name the child, and then add the child's name to the family tree of the Lin family in Fangzhou.

Not long after Lin Qing and Shen Jiao got married, Lin Qing confessed to Shen Jiao about the adoption. Their first child was destined to inherit the Fangzhou ancestral hall.Shen Jiao also understands righteousness very well, it's just a name, it should be her Shen Jiao's son is her Shen Jiao's son, it's fine if you can't make a mistake.

A few months later, Lin Ruhai's reply arrived.

It said that since the child was born on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the horoscope is the best horoscope, he simply took the character 'round', which means reunion and consummation.

Shen Jiao thought the name was a bit too common at first, but Lin Qing thought that the name is as simple as it is elegant, and as simple as it is true.

The word circle may seem ordinary, but it actually has great wisdom.
