The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Five days later, as soon as the renovation of the small Buddhist hall was completed, Mrs. Wang, who could barely stand up and walk around, was moved in immediately, and the second room was completely silent.

Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu didn't mention it, they just wandered around the Rongqing Hall all day, and they didn't even go to the small garden in their leisure time.Although Li Wan nominally took on the errand of the housekeeper of the second room, she had no sense of existence all year round, but it was just a false name. In fact, it was Jia Yuanchun who was behind the scenes who did the hard work.

The wound on Jia Zheng's face has not healed yet, and he took a long vacation at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. It is estimated that he will not appear in front of people for a month.And those Yingyingyanyans in his room also moved out of the house, and some of them were still young, so they chose to remarry. Jia Shishi personally prepared a dowry for them, and secretly sent them out to marry.

The other two were injured and didn't want to go back to see the faces of their nephews, so they chose to go to the village in the suburbs to adopt a child under their knees.In addition, Jia's family promised to give them old age, and now it's just another place to spend the rest of their lives.

In the originally crowded Lixiangyuan, now there is only one master, Jia Zheng, and two servants living there.

Aunt Zhao, who was pregnant, was also moved to a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Rongguo Mansion, which was almost as far away as Jia's house from Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner.She moved the house nervously, thinking that she was rejected by Jia Zheng, she secretly cried twice at night, feeling uneasy all day long.

In the end, it was her younger brother Zhao Guoji who sent word secretly, saying that it was because Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng committed a crime, and she was just implicated innocently.After hearing this, Aunt Zhao calmed down and took care of the baby, but she was thinking in her heart that Mrs. Wang had fallen down, and the other aunts had left the house, so she would have a chance to succeed in the future.

Leaving Aunt Zhao's ambition aside, Wang Xifeng was about to give birth, and everyone in the family was concerned.

At the end of the day, Wang Xifeng, who had been sleeping restlessly, was awakened by a sudden pain in her stomach.She gasped for breath and endured the pain for a while, then stretched out her hand to wake Jia Lian up, and woke up softly.

Jia Lian fell into a drowsy sleep, and was suddenly pushed awake, only to realize that it was Wang Xifeng who started it.

He woke up suddenly, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran outside the house to call for someone.

Because Wang Xifeng's delivery date is approaching, Mrs. Lu, Gu Nai and the others dare not take it lightly these days. Every day, two of them sleep in the wing room near Wang Xifeng's main room.It was Mrs. Lu and Nanny Wu who were guarding tonight. When they heard Jia Lian calling for someone, they quickly turned over and saw headless flies scurrying around.

Mrs. Lu comforted Jia Lian first, and told him to find a place to stay, in fact, to tell him not to make trouble here: "Second master, don't worry, you sit aside, women are slow to give birth, and second grandma is the first time. Baby, we have to wait for a while."

When Jia Lian came back to his senses and sat awkwardly on the porch, Madam Lu began to give orders: "Nurse Wu, I trouble you to go with Ping'er and help grandma into the delivery room. Don't let her sit and lie down all the time. If there is no pain, try to move around as much as possible, which is conducive to labor."

"Le'er, go and call the midwives and tell them that grandma has started. Find a few more trustworthy women and watch them wash their hair, take a bath and change their clothes. They all change into the clothes we prepared earlier. Don't let them They brought something in."

"An'er, go and call Madam Zhang to get up, and ask her to prepare some nutritious food for Yi Kehua. Second Grandma must replenish her strength."

……

Lady Lu followed Wang Xifeng's earlier instructions and arranged matters in an orderly manner. The people in the East Courtyard all started to move. Under the bright lights, although the crowd came and went, they did not appear chaotic at all.

Wang Xifeng heard it through the window, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly whispered to Ping'er: "Ping'er, you go to Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall to report a letter, just tell the gatekeeper. It alarmed the old lady and the wife. After dawn, I figured it was time for the two of them to get up, remember to send someone to pass on a message, and it must be polite."

Ping'er responded repeatedly, and went outside the door to find the little maid to pass on the message without mentioning it.

When Madam Zhang sent someone to deliver the meal, Wang Xifeng had already passed two rounds of labor pains, and was walking around the room while being half-carried by Nanny Wu.As for the midwives, they wash their hair and change their clothes in the next room. They haven't come in yet, only Mammy Gu and a few big maids are in the room with them.

Seeing that someone brought something, Gu Momo persuaded Wang Xifeng to eat something to replenish her strength: "Grandma, use some food first, you will have to use a lot of strength later."

Wang Xifeng had given birth in her previous life, so she knew how laborious and torturous it is to have a baby. Although she had no appetite, she still managed to drink a bowl of red ginseng chicken soup and a few hawthorn cakes, barely filling her stomach.

Seeing that she was eating like medicine, Ping'er couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "If grandma can't eat it, then don't eat it. This is too much to suffer. I don't have to spoil my appetite."

After hearing this, Nanny Gu and Mrs. Lu laughed from the sidelines: "Is there anyone who doesn't suffer from having a child, or they all say that the child's birthday is a difficult day for the mother. Second Mistress, this is considered good." , some are even worse, but what you can eat now is enough, let the small kitchen have food and red ginseng soup ready at any time, and eat two bites when you have an appetite."

Ping'er clicked his tongue in fear, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly went to the small kitchen to spread the word without mentioning it.

After the midwife was closely inspected, Ping'er and a few unmarried maids were sent out by Nanny Gu.The only ones left in the house are Nanny Gu, Nanny Wu, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Lian's nurses, Nanny Wang and Nanny Zhao, plus four carefully selected midwives and Mrs. Lu, who is quite skilled in medicine. The delivery room was also filled to the brim.

Jia Lian had been waiting outside the door. Seeing Ping'er and An'er coming out, she hurried forward to inquire: "How is your grandma? Can you eat? Is it still hurting badly now? I have sent someone to call the imperial physician." I guess it's almost here, but how many more people should I call?"

Ping'er and other servant girls were dizzy from his question, and they didn't know where to start to answer, so they were stunned for a moment.

Wang Xifeng in the room could also hear clearly. Looking at the joking faces of Gu Nai and others, she blushed slightly, and said through the door and window: "Women give birth, what are you doing here? After a while, it's time to go to the Yamen to order something!"

When Jia Lian heard the words, she didn't quite agree, and immediately raised her voice: "The child born here should also call me daddy, why can't I get involved? Besides, you gave birth inside, how heartless I must be, Can I sleep well? After a while, it will be dawn, and it’s enough to send Zhao’er to ask for a leave, and there’s nothing important about the Yamen recently.”

Wang Xifeng's heart was warm, but she spat on her mouth and said to Madam Zhao: "You always go and see your nanny son, tell him to find a place to sit safely, don't make such a fuss, call the maidservant!" The wives saw the joke."

Zhao Mama responded with a smile, and flattered Wang Xifeng: "This is the second master who has a grandma in his heart. When I gave birth to my family, Zhao Laohan never asked about it. It can be seen that the second grandma is blessed." .”

Wang Xifeng smiled and was overwhelmed by the sudden labor pain before she could answer the words. A muffled groan spread outside the room, which made people very worried.

Jia Lian had never seen a woman give birth. In his previous life, when Wang Xifeng gave birth to Qiaojie, he was hanging out with other people. This was the first time he had actually seen it.Hearing that Wang Xifeng, who was usually strong and strong, couldn't help crying bitterly at this moment, he clenched his hands tightly, wishing he could rush in.

Grandma Zhao, who had just walked out, saw her and grabbed his sleeve: "What is Second Master trying to do? How can a man like Second Master enter a woman's delivery room? Second Grandma is the first child, wait a minute." , I reckon it will take two or three hours, but the second master has distracted the second grandma's heart here."

Jia Lian was a little upset when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he walked out of the main courtyard door and went to the study.

At the gate of the courtyard, Jia Lian turned her head again and again, and told Ping'er and the others: "If your grandma has any orders, do it right away. I'll just stay in the study, and come to me if you have anything to do, you hear me?"

Ping'er waited for the servant girl, dumbfounded to agree. Seeing Jia Lian's slow steps, everyone felt amused and envious at the same time.In such an era, Jia Lian's husband who acts like this is simply rare, too rare.

The birth of the first child was indeed slow, until the sky became white, and Wang Xifeng's birth canal was only opened four fingers, and it was still too early for the baby to come out.Fortunately, she had a good pregnancy, and now she still has strength. She ate another bowl of chicken noodle soup to replenish her strength, and then she lay down and continued to give birth.

Mrs. Jia Shi and Mrs. Xing also got the letter. They heard that it was activated in the middle of the night, so they came over in a hurry.In the yard, Wang Xifeng was not seen screaming loudly, only occasionally, when she couldn't hold back, there were two muffled moans of pain.

Seeing that everything was in order, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Lu were in the delivery room, and there were Ping'er and a few old nuns outside, so she felt relieved.

Seeing Jia Lian rushing over, Jia Shi could not help but say a few words: "Your daughter-in-law is giving birth in the house now, you don't say you are here to guard, but where do you go to hide and relax? Another thing, Feng girl is this The first child, why didn't you send someone to call your wife and me, but let her live here alone?"

Jia Lian felt aggrieved, why did he not want to stay here, obviously he was kicked out by all the big and small maids!

Without waiting for Jia Lian to speak out to explain, the maids and mothers-in-law next to her, and Mother Zhao who heard the news in the room, covered their stomachs and laughed until Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing were confused.

Mother Zhao stepped forward to salute, and helped to explain: "Second Master has been wronged, Second Master has been guarding here all the time, but he is more nervous than Second Mistress, Grandma is afraid that he will be in a hurry, After all, I persuaded people to go to the study to rest. Another thing, the second grandma said that she was unhappy with her first child, and there were nanny and midwife to take care of her, so you and your wife came, and it was just that there were many people in a hurry. That's why I ordered the servant girl to only pass the message to the gatekeeper's mother-in-law, in order to let you two sleep peacefully."

When Jia Shishi heard this, he also burst into laughter: "It can be seen that this is the first time to be a father, so nervous, your father was better than you back then. But Feng girl is too polite, she is the first child, It is also for the Jia family to have children, and her wife and I came to take care of them, which is a due gift. It is hard for her to be filial, to give birth to a child by herself, and to think that my wife and I can sleep well, it is not in vain We love her every day."

Mrs. Xing also nodded in agreement: "Madam Feng is indeed a good person. She respects her parents-in-law and elders upwards, and loves her younger siblings and aunts below. The housekeeper manages human relations, and there is no mistake. It's just that it is too polite. Next time it will be you Grandma is kind, but she is not allowed to hide it from me and the old lady, it is the first time for her to experience such a big event, how can she not be afraid?"

Mother Zhao and Heping agreed with a smile, and ordered the women and maids in the courtyard to move the chairs, tables, tables, etc., to wait for Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing to sit down.With the help of the two of them, Jia Lian was not kicked out of the yard by Nanny Zhao again, and was able to stand outside the delivery room.

Seeing that it was Mao's time, the voice of the midwife in the room became more urgent, shouting "breathe in, exhale, push hard!" and so on, but Wang Xifeng's voice could not be heard very much.

Jia Lian turned around in a hurry, and kept muttering in a low voice: "It's been more than two hours since I went in, why hasn't the baby been born yet? I heard that the women who give birth are all screaming, why don't you listen to Brother Feng? Make a sound?"

Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing were dizzy from being surrounded by him, and they understood why everyone wanted to kick him out just now, it was indeed too nervous.

"Lian'er, come and sit down, your wife is smart. If you keep shouting loudly during childbirth, not only will you not be able to relieve the pain, but you will also lose your energy and energy, and it will not be conducive to accumulating strength. Only when you are silent can you use your strength." The first child is always more difficult, but Gu Nai and Lu Niangzi are both good at it, and Feng girl has been raised carefully during pregnancy, so she must be able to live in peace."

Although Jia Lian was worried, he was also afraid that he would be kicked out again, so he had to choose a chair and sit down.

While the whole family was waiting anxiously, a woman outside suddenly sent word that Grandma Liu, Mrs. Liu, Qing'er, grandparent and grandson had arrived.

Jia Shishi hurriedly ordered someone to come in, and saw the three of them brought two small maids and two big burdens into the yard.

When the two parties met, Grandma Liu pushed Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, send my regards to the old lady, madam and your godfather."

Qing'er is now more than three years old, and it is the time when she is soft and cute. Hearing this, she smiled and made a Wanfu gift. Although it is not very standard, it is still very rare.

Jia Shishi smiled and yelled, and ordered someone to lift up the chair and put tea on it to say hello: "Why is my in-laws here at this time, have you already had breakfast?"

Grandma Liu sat down with a smile and replied: "It turned out that Qing'er's father went to the yamen, but he said that my uncle didn't go today. After inquiring, I found out that it was my aunt who started it. He asked someone to deliver a letter to me. I was at home. I couldn't sit still, so I rushed to the door."

Hearing this, Jia Shishi was touched and said: "Your heart for Miss Feng is as much as for your own daughter. You came here in such a hurry, I think you haven't had breakfast yet. In Miss Feng's small kitchen, Zhang Mammy's cooking skills are the best, let's have a good meal today, and try to see if there is anything new."

Grandma Liu waved her hands again and again, and declined: "We came here after dinner, the old lady shouldn't be so polite, there are many things in the house today, we all know, we come and go often, I will never talk to the old lady again Polite."

Jia Shishi saw that she was determined not to accept it, so that's all, but he still ordered someone to go to the kitchen to bring a few plates of snacks.

Grandma Liu ordered the maids around her to open the package, which was made by Mrs. Liu and her mother. Tiger-toed shoes, tiger-headed hats, Baijia clothes, etc., are not very precious, but every stitch and thread can tell People come with their heart.

Even Jia Shishi was quite moved when she saw her, for her granddaughter-in-law valued so much the Wang family, she was even more acknowledging in her heart, she was indeed a good one, worthy of association.

At exactly the right time, when the first ray of morning sun pierced the sky, the cry of a baby came from the room.

The restless people outside stood up when they heard the sound. Jia Lian ran over quickly and asked through the door, "Boy or girl? How is grandma?"

Zhao Nanny opened the door with a smile and came out to announce the good news to Jia Shishi, Jia Lian and others: "Congratulations to the old lady, madam, second master, Miss Qing, the second grandmother gave birth to a big fat boy. install!"

Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing smiled from ear to ear, and walked into the delivery room while supporting the maid's hand. Grandma Liu and Mrs. Liu were also happy for Wang Xifeng, and followed in with a smile.

Jia Lian followed two steps eagerly, and was stopped by the quick-sighted Zhao Nanny: "Second master can't enter now, wait until we clean up, and then invite second master to go in and see my brother. My son is born very well, then His eyebrows and eyes look very much like the second master, and now he is being taken by the midwife to take a bath, and he will be taken out to show the second master after washing."

Jia Lian was unwilling, but he didn't dare to break through Zhao Mama's blockade, so he could only stand at the door and stomp his feet anxiously.

Ping'er and An'er came over with Wang Xifeng's clothes, and said to Jia Lian, "Second Master, sit down, let's go in and change into clean clothes for grandma."

Jia Lian moved angrily to one side, giving way to the door.

Ping'er ducked in and closed the door. Whether it was Wang Xifeng who had just given birth, or the newborn brother, they couldn't see the cold wind.It's still cold in early April, so don't dare to be careless.

After they tidied up the house swiftly, took away the blood-stained bedding and clothes, and smoked incense to diffuse the smell in the house, Jia Lian was allowed to enter.

Jia Lian entered the house, and before he could see his son, he went straight to the bed.

Wang Xifeng was wearing a mink Zhaojun suit on her head, and she was being fed and drank soup by Mrs. Liu, beside her was Grandma Liu, Mrs. Jia Shi, Mrs. Xing, and a little Qinger, circling around the newborn baby say.

Qing'er picked up the little cradle and asked curiously: "Why is my little brother's face wrinkled? He's still flushed, why doesn't he open his eyes and look at us?"

Mrs. Xing explained to her with a smile: "The newborn baby is red and wrinkled, and it will be fine after a few days of raising it. He is still young, and he still doesn't know how to open his eyes to see people."

Qing'er nodded half-understood, then turned her head and left it behind, only focusing on looking at the little baby.

Jia Lian listened for a while, and waited until Wang Xifeng finished drinking a bowl of soup, Liu took the bowl and left, then moved to the bed and sat down: "Feng'er has worked hard!"

Wang Xifeng was also very tired just now, but now her face is still a little pale, and she feels that she can't use any strength in her hands and feet.Leaning halfway on the soft pillow, she looked at the son over there who was admired by all the stars, and then at Jia Lian who was full of pity and distress. Suddenly, she was relieved a lot. In this life, maybe he is really sincere.

Wang Xifeng smiled softly, with a pale complexion that looked extraordinarily beautiful and gentle: "It's not hard, I like children, you bring the children to me to see."

Hearing this, Jia Lian hurried to Jia Shishi's side and said with a smile, "Old lady, Brother Feng said she wants to see the child."

Seeing this chubby great-grandson, Jia Shishi also felt happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and show Feng girl, she has made a great contribution this time. Pass my words, everyone in the house Xiadu will reward two extra months of monthly money, and those who wait in the yard will get an extra two months, rewarding you for your meritorious service in taking care of Second Grandma’s fetus."

As soon as these words came out, the room was full of congratulations and thank you voices, but Jia Lian ignored them, looking at the limp baby in the cradle, he suddenly felt that he had nowhere to start.

Mrs. Xing saw his embarrassment, she stretched out her arms to pick up the child, and put it on Wang Xifeng's bed steadily: "Girl Feng, this child is very good-looking, with eyebrows and eyes very much like Lian'er, but his mouth and face shape are exactly the same. It looks like you, so it can be seen that it is based on the advantages of the two of you."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng stared at the child carefully for a long while, but she didn't find that the red dumpling in front of her was half similar to herself and Jia Lian.Jia Lian didn't see it either, but the couple were both human sperm, so naturally they wouldn't say it, and they both smiled at each other.

Mrs. Xing held Wang Xifeng's hand and said: "Young girl Feng suffered a lot today. The old lady, I and your master all remember it. You just need to sit in confinement and don't worry about others. Everything will be handled by the old lady and me." Woolen cloth."

Wang Xifeng smiled and nodded in response: "I didn't suffer anything. This child is good and knows how to love me. It's the tired old lady and wife who waited outside for half a day, and grandma and sister Liu who ran away early in the morning. trip."

Grandma Liu waved her hands and said with a smile: "Oh, my aunt is so polite. You just gave birth, so you should lie down and rest more. We are just sitting, how can we say whether we are tired or not?" Yes, it's a great joy to have a baby in the family, and it's too late to be happy."

Jia Shishi also comforted: "My old in-laws are right. Your wife and I don't feel tired. You take a rest. Lian'er is also coming out. Don't disturb your daughter-in-law to rest. You are a father. Go and follow her." Good news for you, my brother, have you figured out the name of the other brother? After the third wash, the genealogy will be listed."

Only then did Jia Lian remember that he hadn't sent anyone to report to Jia She. Thinking of Jia She's cold face, Jia Lian shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Grandson, go and tell the master. As for my brother's name, Brother Feng and the master and I have thought about it for a while, but we are not sure which one to use. When we find the master later, we must choose the best one, and we will report to our ancestors when the time comes."

Jia Shishi nodded in agreement, urged him to go out, and led the group of people out of the delivery room, leaving only two servant girls to watch, so that Wang Xifeng could rest well.
