[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Xiangling was still wearing her usual clothes, her belly was not visible, she was walking very slowly, but when she saw Baochai standing in the middle of the room with her big belly, she was immediately startled.

"Sit down quickly, girl." Xiangling wanted to come over to help her, but Baochai held her hand and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law sit too. How is sister-in-law recently? Is the food delicious?"

The two sisters-in-law sat next to each other, and Xiangling was a little embarrassed when she mentioned the matter of being pregnant: "It's all good, I just want to sleep all the time."

Xiangling's cheeks were still blush after waking up, Baochai felt relieved seeing that she looked very good, and then glanced at the girl who helped Xiangling to enter the door.

The girl combed her woman's head, her appearance was very ordinary, she belonged to the category of neither beautiful nor ugly, she lowered her head slightly, and stood obediently behind Xiang Ling.

This person is really honest, and Mrs. Xue was right.

Seeing Baochai's eyes, Xiangling immediately said to the girl, "Ziyu, come here and kowtow to my aunt."

If it hadn't been for Xiangling's name, Baochai would really not be able to remember the girl's name, because Jia Baoyu has become a thing of the past, and Xue's naming a girl doesn't need to taboo the word "Yu", so he chose such a name. name.

Ziyu walked to the front and kowtowed to Baochai: "Greetings to my aunt, thank you for the materials and jewelry that my aunt sent back."

Seeing her docile nature and respectful words, Baochai felt sorry for her being ruined by Xue Pan, a big fool, and felt that it was a blessing to have such a housemate, at least it would not make trouble for the rest of the house, so she immediately pulled one from her head. The golden hairpin was handed to Ziyu's eyes: "Take it, and serve the master well in the future."

Ziyu didn't expect to get another reward, so grateful, she took it carefully, kowtowed again, and then got up and walked to stand behind Xiangling.

Ziyu doesn't think she is pitiful. With her appearance, she will at most choose a match among the servants at home in the future.

Being able to be a housekeeper for the young master is better than being a girl. Although she still has to serve the masters, even if she is married and becomes a daughter-in-law, which woman doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law?

Anyway, a woman's whole life is like this, either serving her elders or her husband, the only one who can really open her arms and wait for others to serve her is the empress dowager.

Besides, the young master is young and has a good appearance. Although he will be a little silly from time to time, he is much better than other bald and belly old men, and his wife is kind-hearted, and the young lady is kind. It is not difficult to get along with him at all, as long as she Be honest and do your duty, and you will not worry about bad times in the future.

After Baochai finished admiring the purple jade, she didn't take the initiative to talk to her again, so as not to make Xiangling feel cold.Baochai observed Xue Pan calmly, and found that Xue Pan treated Ziyu in a normal way, and with Xiangling present, his eyes almost never fell on Ziyu.

After playing at Xue's house for a long time, he stayed for dinner before preparing to go back home. Mrs. Xue was worried about them, mainly because of Baochai, and insisted that Xue Pan follow them all the way and send them back safely. .

No matter what Jia Yucun said, Mrs. Xue refused to obey him, and said plausibly: "Pan'er is getting fat, and it happens to take a walk after dinner to digest, so let him follow, otherwise I don't worry."

Jia Yucun had no choice but to agree. A group of people got up, sat in two sedan chairs, and went all the way to the gate of Jia's house. Because it was too late, Xue Pan didn't go in to greet the old lady, but only said to Jia Yucun, and then turned back. home.

This trip back to her natal home was very effective for Baochai to adjust her mentality. The depression that had been accumulated for a long time dissipated, and she cheered up again, going through the third trimester of pregnancy with the fullest energy and the most positive and optimistic attitude.

After ten days like this, Baochai was sleeping on the bed wearing tulle underwear, and Jia Yucun was lying next to her, sleeping soundly. The two of them did not hug each other tightly as usual So as not to cover each other out of sweat.

Even though he was asleep, Jia Yucun still held Baochai's hand, so that he could quickly detect any movement of her at night.

Falling asleep, Baochai frowned, because there was a slight pain coming from her abdomen, but the symptom was too mild to wake people up, she mumbled unconsciously, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Gradually, the intensity of the pain increased and the frequency became higher. Baochai was awakened immediately. She took her hand out of Jia Yucun's big hand, touched her stomach, and turned her head to wake him up, but Jia Yucun had already opened her mouth. squinted.

"What's the matter? Are you going to get up at night again? I'll help you go."

"No." Baochai shook her head, "My stomach is twitching, is it about to give birth?"

When she said this, Baochai's eyes were shining brightly. Her biggest wish now is to unload the cargo as soon as possible. Is it finally coming?

"..." Jia Yucun gasped, and all the remaining drowsiness flew away. He got up and shouted, "Come here, light the lamp!"

The Yinger outside immediately got up and made a rustling sound.

Jia Yucun asked her nervously as if facing a formidable enemy: "Is it starting to hurt? Don't be afraid, everything is already prepared. If things don't go well in a while, I will send someone to invite Mr. Xu, and you will be safe." "

"I'm not afraid. Hurry up and help me up while I'm still able to walk. I'm going to the delivery room." Baochai's eyes were excited and eager, as if they had been pumped with chicken blood.

Seeing that she was a little excited, Jia Yucun didn't worry about going to the gate of hell at all, so he raised his heart even more: "I think it's better to invite Mr. Xu to come over now."

"Don't panic. Even if you are kind to him, the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it. It's not that far yet. It's midnight, at least wait until dawn to see what's going on."

Baochai comforted him in turn. Jia Yucun didn't bother arguing with her. When Yinger lit the lamp, he immediately helped Baochai out of bed, helped her dress, and told Yinger without looking back: It’s been hurting for a while, go and wake everyone up, boil hot water quickly, and prepare some meals, so that you can have the strength to give birth when you’re full. By the way, where’s the midwife? Let them come over quickly.”

Yinger nodded excitedly, and ran away like flying.

In an instant, lights were lit everywhere in the east courtyard, and the lights were as bright as day. The maids were busy walking around, one of the two midwives went to check the delivery room, and the other came to serve Baochai.The people in the kitchen also started to move, a big pot was dedicated to boiling hot water, and the other small stove was ready for cooking.

In the silent night, such a small movement spread quickly. Yuxi, who was watching the night in the main courtyard, saw it, came out to inquire, then ran back in a hurry, and woke the old lady up: "Old lady, madam is about to give birth."

"Huh?" The old lady was woken up in a daze, and after a while, her eyes widened suddenly, "Is it going to give birth?"

Yuxi nodded: "The east courtyard is already busy, and it's been a while since it hurts."

"Hurry up! Help me get up!" The old lady got up at a rare speed, complaining while dressing, "You should have called me at the beginning of the pain. No matter how capable your master is, he doesn't know anything about women giving birth."

The old lady was putting on her clothes when Yu Huan also came over and asked, "I heard that Madam is going to give birth?"

Yuxi: "Well, why don't you sleep?"

"It's getting lively outside, how can I still sleep." Yuhuan approached, waited for the old lady to comb her hair after she was dressed, and said to the old lady in the mirror with a smile, "Old lady, you will see me in a while." What a fat grandson!"

"Hehe, it would be great if it was like this." The old lady squinted her eyes with joy and urged, "Hurry up, if I don't go, they won't have a backbone."

Hastily tidying up, just about to walk out of the main courtyard, the old lady suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked back to the inner room, bowed to the old lady's tablet, and murmured: "Our Jia family will have a In the end, if you have a spirit in the sky, bless adults and children to be safe and well, and everything will go smoothly."

After the worship, she seemed to have gained a lot of strength invisibly. Although the old lady walked hurriedly, she was not panicked at all, and her expression was very calm.

Baochai has been transferred to the delivery room in the west courtyard, which has been set up long ago, with all kinds of utensils, midwives and maids performing their duties, and everything is going on in an orderly manner under Jia Yucun's command.

"Why are you here, mother?"

The delivery room was inside, and it was not easy for Jia Yucun to go in, so he sat and waited outside. When he saw the old lady coming, he quickly got up and went up to meet him: "It takes a lot of work to give birth, mother will go back to sleep later."

"My daughter-in-law is risking her life to add children to our family, how can I sleep?" The old lady said firmly, "I'll go in and have a look, you wait patiently outside."

When the old lady walked in, Baochai was hugging her stomach and enduring the labor pain. When the pain was over, she turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "Mother is here."

The old lady came to the bed quickly, held Baochai's hand, and encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, every woman has to go through this kind of experience, as long as she works hard enough, she will be born. Have you eaten yet? "

Baochai nodded, and was about to answer with great effort, when Yinger felt sorry for her, and couldn't let her waste her energy talking, so she hurriedly said, "I ate a bowl of shredded chicken noodle soup."

"It's good to eat." The old lady nodded and asked Baochai again, "If you feel uneasy, I'll send someone to fetch your wife right now, okay?"

It was the middle of the night, and Mrs. Xue must have been fast asleep. Although Baochai had never given birth, she knew that the natural delivery would not be so fast, so she refused: "I don't know how long it will take, so don't disturb them."

The old lady wanted to say something more, but Baochai began to have labor pains again, and the midwife was busy encouraging her. The old lady watched for a while, but she couldn't help her, and she was afraid that her son would be anxious waiting outside, so she went out.

"How's it going inside?" Jia Yucun really waited eagerly.

"Don't worry, Baochai looks blessed, and the midwife also said that her fetal position is very upright."

Jia Yucun breathed a sigh of relief, helped the old lady to sit down, and poured tea for her herself. The old lady was not busy drinking tea, and told Yuhuan: "Take the ginseng I brought, cut it into slices, and send it to me. Go to the delivery room."

Jia Yucun: "No need, there is ginseng here, but mother's branch is still kept."

"Ginseng nourishes qi. Even if you don't need it tonight, it's good to stew it into chicken soup for Baochai. Yuhuan, go quickly."

"Hey!" Yu Huan responded crisply, and went swiftly.
