[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Before I knew it, it was July. Seeing that Baochai's due date was within this month, everyone in Jia's family was waiting in full swing, looking forward to it. The nanny and all the things needed for childbirth had already been prepared, even life-saving supplies. The century-old ginseng also bought two whole for preparation.

Different from the eager anticipation of others, Baochai felt more and more irritable.

In the late pregnancy, her stomach became bigger and bigger. Not only could she not see her toes when she lowered her head, but it also covered half of her stomach. There was often a burning sensation in her stomach, and the food she ate seemed difficult to digest. Even though he only ate half a bowl of rice, he felt uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a whole bowl raw.

I also have symptoms of edema on my body, especially my two legs, even the ankles are swollen. When I walk, I feel like I am carrying water all over my body. My steps are heavy, and I will be exhausted and out of breath after walking less than half a cup of tea. .

But I don’t move around much and I am afraid that I will have a difficult childbirth. I can’t survive this test. In the era of backward medical technology, a woman has one foot into the gate of hell when giving birth, which is very dangerous.

I can't sleep well at night, even if there is an ice basin in the room, I feel stuffy and irritable, and I gradually start to urinate frequently, and I have to get up four or five times a night, which adds to the bad problem of insomnia.

Jia Yucun has to get up early every day to go to work, which is also very hard. No matter how uncomfortable Baochai is, she bears it by herself and never complains in front of him.

It would be fine if these symptoms were only for a day or two. After ten days and half a month, Baochai couldn't take it anymore. During the day, she didn't have a smiling face at all. She only hoped that the baby in her belly would come out soon and end soon. this pain.

Ying'er told Baochai every day telling jokes to amuse her, but it had no effect, so she had to go to the old lady in private.

After listening to the old lady, she sighed and shook her head and smiled: "People who are pregnant are like this. The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to get over it. It's just about this month." After finishing speaking, I was worried about my daughter-in-law , holding the girl's hand to the east courtyard.

Seeing the old lady coming, Baochai immediately put on a smiling face, listened to the old lady's eloquent explanation, nodded repeatedly, and replied obediently: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Seeing her smile, the old lady thought she was very good at understanding people, and left contentedly. When the person left, Baochai put on a blank face again, and slowly circled outside, like a turtle moving, and hadn't reached the place yet. After five laps, I suddenly felt the urgency to urinate, and hurried to change clothes.

This night, it was already the second watch, and there was a big ice basin on the table in the inner room. Jia Yucun took advantage of the coolness and fell asleep soundly. Baochai couldn't sleep for a while, so she lay straight. With a faint drowsiness, I feel like going to the bathroom again.

She got out of bed quietly, and just as she lifted the curtain, Yinger, who was laying on the floor outside, was very alert, opened her eyes immediately, and got up to help her.

Knowing that she needed to go to the toilet, she helped her to the next room, and then walked back slowly after she was done. Seeing her struggling so hard, Yinger whispered, "How about I take the urinal outside to the outside, so you can spend less time at night?" Take two steps."

"Stop talking nonsense, it stinks here, can you still sleep?"

"I'm fine, but I'm afraid the smell will drift into the room. If you draw the curtain tightly and light the incense, you won't be able to stink."

Baochai looked at her helplessly: "Even if you're not afraid of smell, I'm still ashamed to relieve myself here."

Ying'er thought for a while: "How about I move a big screen to block it?"

Baochai stopped, and stared at her with a half-smile: "You might as well find some people who play gongs and drums to come over, lest I relieve my hands outside, and the master sleeping inside will think it's raining when he hears it."

Ying'er didn't react for a while, she was stunned for a while before she understood, and immediately burst out laughing, fearing to wake up the master, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Because Baochai often gets up at night these days, not only was there a night watch girl outside, but she also slept in a different position with Jia Yucun.

Ying'er helped Baochai go in, and after lying down on the bed, Ying'er went back to the outside and lay down again.

Baochai stared at the roof of the tent for a while, with a lot of miscellaneous thoughts in her head, but she couldn't come up with any of them when she was asked to explain them in detail.

I was in a daze for a while, feeling so bored, so I turned over gently, held my stomach and closed my eyes, trying to brew sleep.

Unexpectedly, the child in her stomach stretched out her arms and legs suddenly, and kicked Baochai's palm through a thin layer of belly. She had a rare sweet moment, and her sleepiness disappeared again.

After waiting and waiting, the child refused to move again, probably it was just an unconscious movement in sleep just now, but after suffering from Baochai, a trace of drowsiness finally flew away.

After waiting for a while, he felt uncomfortable lying down again, so he propped up the bed with his hands, raised his upper body little by little, leaned against the head of the bed, and turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window in a daze.

The moonlight was so bright that it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost on the ground. It looked clear and clear, but it created an illusion of coolness psychologically.

Jia Yucun unconsciously stretched out his hand to hug someone in his sleep, but he missed it. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and found that Baochai was not sleeping, just half-sitting in such a stupid way, not knowing how to sit. how long.

"Why don't you sleep?" Jia Yucun quickly got up, his voice hoarse.

Baochai came back to her senses immediately, and said embarrassedly: "I woke you up? I'll lie down right now."

"Slow down." Jia Yucun helped her to lie down and trimmed her hair again. "Is it hot or hungry? I'll ask the girl to bring in another ice basin. If you're hungry, call the kitchen staff. Wake up, don't be shy."

Baochai shook her head: "I'm neither hungry nor hot, go to bed quickly, I'm going to sleep too." After speaking, she quickly closed her eyes.

Jia Yucun lay on his side, gently hugging Baochai's waist, closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep soon, then opened them again, just in time to meet Baochai's wide-open almond eyes.

He couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you close your eyes when you say you want to sleep?"

"Can't sleep." Baochai stopped pretending, rubbed against his arms, and said in a coquettish voice, "I don't know when it will be activated, it should be better sooner."

Jia Yucun patted her back and comforted her softly: "I know you have worked hard recently, but unfortunately I can't bear it for you, just keep going. How about I take you back to your mother's house tomorrow?"

"Aren't you going to work?" Baochai accepted his love, but she couldn't believe it in her heart, it was not time for her to sleep, and the old lady would say that she was about to give birth and was running around. What does it look like.

"Don't worry about these things, go to sleep now, if you don't sleep well at night, you won't be able to make up for it if you sleep more during the day."

Jia Yucun's chest was very warm, unlike the stuffy air outside, Baochai didn't feel uncomfortable, sleepiness gradually came up while chatting, and she curled up in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after freshening up, Jia Yucun took her to the main courtyard to greet the old lady, had breakfast together, and then went to the front courtyard to change her official robes and go out.

Baochai only sent him outside the main courtyard, and looked at his back as he walked away, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. Sure enough, was it just coaxing me to take me back to my mother's house last night?

Seeing Baochai's reluctant eyes, the old lady couldn't help laughing out loud: "Don't be reluctant, your master will be back at night."

Being teased like this, the thought in Baochai's heart flew away in an instant, she sat down again, and then was helped back to the east courtyard by the girl.

During the afternoon nap, Yinger sat in front of the bed and helped to play the fan. Baochai turned over on the bed a few times and forced herself to fall asleep. When she woke up again, the person playing the fan had become Jia Yucun.

Baochai's eyes lit up in an instant, and she asked in surprise, "Why are you back?" After speaking, he looked at the sky outside the window, thinking he had slept through the night.

"I promised you last night. It just so happens that I don't have much business today, so I will come out earlier and accompany you back to your mother's house."

Baochai immediately cheered up, and hurriedly got out of bed to get dressed and freshen up. Jia Yucun carefully supported her and teased, "Don't worry, it's still early."

If there is no one to help, Baochai will still have some difficulty getting up by herself. Now she finally understands how hard it is for a tortoise to turn over, all because of the heavy shell on her body.

Compared with the thick shell of the tortoise, her current belly is even worse!

Hearing the commotion inside, Ying'er hurried in to wait on her, and when she got dressed, Baochai remembered something, turned her head and said to Jia Yucun, "I'm just going out like this. I'm afraid my mother won't worry, so I have to tell you about it." .”

"You wash and wash first, I'll go now."

Jia Yucun went to the main courtyard, and when she told her about taking Baochai back to her mother's house, the old lady was really not very happy: "Maybe one day she will give birth, and you still take her to run around."

"Mother, don't worry, everything will be safe with me. She can't sleep well at night, and she has been bored at home for several months. Taking her out for a walk will make her feel more cheerful."

"That's true." The old lady compromised, "After that, you will be in confinement, and you will not be able to go out for several months, so you go, be careful on the road, let the bearers walk slowly, and pay more attention to her If anything goes wrong, hurry home."

"My son knows." Jia Yucun resigned from the old lady, went back to the east courtyard to pick up Baochai, and went to Xue's house in a sedan chair.

Mrs. Xue did not expect her daughter to come back at this time, and she was overjoyed. While arranging tea and dinner, she ordered someone to go to the shop to call Xue Pan back.

The shop is very close to home, Xue Pan came back soon, and greeted Jia Yucun as soon as he entered the door.

Baochai saw a small black spot on Xue Pan's face and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with your face?"

"Huh?" Xue Pan didn't know why, so he picked up his sleeve and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and the black spot the size of a mung bean was wiped into a long black mark in an instant.

"Ouch." Baochai called out, and hurriedly took out her handkerchief to help her brother wipe his face.

She had a big belly, Xue Pan didn't dare to bother her, Xue Shi laughed angrily: "Where is the ink stain, don't wipe it, you can't wash the handkerchief later, and you have to ask someone to fetch hot water to wash it." One wash."

Jia Yucun suppressed a smile: "Brother was keeping the account book just now?"

"Hey." Xue Pan's silly temper came out again, and he stood there with a smirk, "Business is a bit deserted today. I listen to my sister and I'm practicing my calligraphy!"

"Brother is really powerful, he is a gentleman who keeps his word." Baochai praised him with a smile.

Xue Pan is a person who doesn't boast much, he was so happy that he almost couldn't find Bei, he patted himself on the chest vigorously: "Brother speaks naturally!"

Just as he was talking, Xiangling slowly walked in from the outside, with a deep apology on his face: "Sorry, I'm late."

Xiangling was just pregnant, and it was the time when she was snoozing, and she could not finish sleeping every day. She was fast asleep when Baochai entered the door, and she was finally woken up by the girl, and she had to dress and make up, so she came here late.
