[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Jia Shu gave birth to a son.

When Mother Lin heard the news, she almost fainted from joy.Fortunately, the government doctor was waiting nearby, so Mother Lin didn't really faint.Lin's mother is nearly seventy years old, if she really wants to faint like this once, her body may not be able to bear it.

As before, Lin Ruhai was waiting outside the delivery room early after hearing the news. After the baby's cries sounded, he immediately entered the delivery room from the side room, and then rushed straight to Jia Shu without even looking at the child.

Jia Shu is now in his thirties, and his body is not as good as when he was young. After giving birth, he has already exhausted himself and fell asleep.

After Lin Ruhai repeatedly confirmed that Jia Shu was fine, he took the third child from the midwife's hand and hugged her in her arms.

Different from the previous two babies, this baby fell asleep after crying twice after birth, completely useless for Lin Ruhai.

After several struggles, Lin Ruhai still put him on the small bed.

Looking at Jia Shu on the bed, and then at the youngest son in front of him, Lin Ruhai felt a little melancholy for no reason.

But he didn't immerse himself in this emotion for too long, because Lin's mother had already asked the servant girl to call for someone outside after seeing him coming in for a long time.

Lin Ruhai quickly regained his composure, and while someone carried the child into the room specially vacated for Jia Shu's confinement through the side door, he bent down to pick up Jia Shu and followed behind them.

-

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Lin family has been passed down from one generation to the next for more than a hundred generations. Even though the backyard is full of flowers and branches, no generation of patriarchs has given birth to more than one son.

Jia Shu's first child was born directly, not to mention the dragon and phoenix twins, but the second child directly broke the curse of the Lin family passing down from generation to generation. Not only Lin Ruhai, the Lin family, but even the Lin Jiatang family who had already separated This news also empathized and sent people to congratulate her.

However, considering the various forces in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lin family didn't do anything big. Even Lin's mother's [-]th birthday later, it was just a matter of inviting a few close relatives to the mansion for a meal.

I don't know if there is too much good news recently, so that when they suddenly saw the person sent by the eldest princess, everyone was still a little unresponsive.

The almost quarreling about Zhuzhu's marriage seems like it was yesterday, but now the eldest princess says that it has been completely resolved, even if Zhuzhu doesn't get married in the future, there is no need to worry about it——

Yes, in order to share this good news with others, the eldest princess specially sent someone to Yangzhou to tell Jia Shu that the imperial court had amended some laws, the most notable of which was to allow young men and women of marriageable age to marry themselves. Marriage, the official media no longer has the right to intervene in their marriage.

The second eye-catching law is to allow women to go to school and take scientific examinations, and have the same rights as men to enter the court as officials. A widow who is talented and famous but does not want to remarry enters the academy to teach.In order to make people feel at ease, Emperor Chengtian even stuffed several of his own princesses into the academy to show his firm attitude in starting the academy.

In addition to these two laws, some laws such as "encouraging widows to remarry" and "abolishing chastity archways" were also revised, but these laws became less conspicuous against the background of the first two laws.

Of course, although the law has been amended, Emperor Chengtian has not officially issued it to all parts of the country in the form of government orders, so it is still kept secret.

However, the eldest princess was so excited that she also wanted Jia Shu, so she informed her of the news in advance.

Jia Shu hugged the third child who was named "Hanhan", with a puzzled look on his face: "The eldest princess needs my help? Are you sure the steward who sent the message said so?"

Lin Ruhai nodded: "Didn't you mention it in the letter?"

"I mentioned it," Jia Shu said with a tangled expression, "The credible talk is about women's entry into officialdom. I really can't figure out what I can do to help the princess."

If it is said that she has any talents in being an official for the well-being of the people, she can still catch the first person to eat crabs, so as to set an example for other women who are interested.But Jia Shu knows her own affairs, because of her past life experience, she can barely be regarded as a professional counterpart if she is asked to go to the military camp to train soldiers, can she be an official?I'm sorry, but she really has six orifices through seven orifices - she doesn't understand anything.

Lin Ruhai thought for a long time, then shook his head: "I don't know either."

After thinking for a while, he looked at Jia Shu, "Does my lady have the idea of ​​becoming an official?"

Jia Shu shook his head: "Being an official is too tiring."

Lin Ruhai's expression was slightly relaxed, but in an instant it became heavy again: "If it's because you care about my mother and me, my lady doesn't have to..."

"Where did you think?" Jia Shu laughed, "I really never thought about being an official. You think about my knowledge, think about my temperament, are you sure I am really suitable for an official? Of course, if the court allows women I'm somewhat interested in being a general."

But she was just daydreaming, and she also knew that the imperial court would not agree to allow women to lead troops to fight, not to mention that she was good at single-soldier combat in vanguard mode.

Listening to Jia Shu's words, Lin Ruhai was quite happy at first, but who knew that the whole person seemed to be frightened and stupid when he heard the following: "My lady, do you want to join the army?"

Jia Shu turned his head, faced Lin Ruhai's expression as if the sky was about to fall, and said with a suppressed smile, "Yes."

Lin Ruhai hesitated to speak, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Jia Shu was happy, and hurried to appease him: "Ru Hai, don't think too much. Now the court allows women to be officials, which is the goal that the eldest princess has worked hard to achieve. I don't know how many years it will take to make women worship generals and marquises." With the approval of the emperor, I don’t know that it will take many years to reach an agreement with civil and military officials and implement it.”

By then, she might be old.

Lin Ruhai could hear the seriousness in Jia Shu's words, and knew that what she said was reasonable, but for some reason, he still couldn't feel completely relieved.

Thinking of the "help" that the eldest princess said, Lin Ruhai's heart became more and more heavy.

Seeing this, Jia Shu couldn't help being surprised: "Ruhai doesn't want me to be an official in the court?"

Could it be that her subtle influence, mediation, and teaching all these years have been in vain, and Lin Ruhai is still like other literati, thinking that women only need to stay in the back house and take care of the housework for men?

Lin Ruhai shook his head resolutely: "If my lady wants to be an official, I have no objection, but enlisting in the army..."

Jia Shu is clear, but it's not that Lin Ruhai has committed a literati's fault and is prejudiced against soldiers——

Nonsense, there is Jia Shu, a former special soldier with a red heart to the motherland, who has instilled in Lin Ruhai some things such as "soldiers defending the country are very hard", "soldiers are great", "no soldiers bleed and die at the border, There is no brainwashing of concepts such as "Singing and dancing in the Central Plains to promote peace", even if Lin Ruhai's natural position is against generals, he still has no lack of admiration for ordinary soldiers.

But just like the children who grew up in the modern peaceful age want to enlist in the army, their parents would hesitate, worry, or even sternly refuse, Lin Ruhai did not dare to ask Jia Shu to bear the danger to the lives of soldiers at any time.

The smile on Jia Shu's face faded a little, she knew that Lin Ruhai wanted a guarantee for herself, but she touched her blood that had not cooled down, and could only live up to his expectations.

The only thing she can appease Lin Ruhai is a pale sentence "the imperial court will not allow women to go to the battlefield".

As long as the court does not allow it, Jia Shu will not try to fight. She is not the same kind of person as the aggressive princess.But if the imperial court allows it, she can't guarantee that she can still stand on the sidelines when the time comes.

Lin Ruhai has lived with Jia Shu for more than ten years, how can he not understand Jia Shu's expression?

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while they both sighed.

Not wanting the two of them to continue entangled in things that would never happen, Jia Shu simply changed the subject: "Look, Ruhai, we talk so loudly, Hanhan can still sleep so soundly, he has no intention of waking up at all. "

Lin Ruhai looked down at the third child in Jia Shu's arms, and said in surprise, "This kid can really sleep."

After thinking for a while, he frowned, "I remember Hanhan was sleeping every time I went home these days? Did he sleep a little too much? Should I ask the doctor to take a closer look, in case something happened to Hanhan's body? What problem did we not discover in time, and it eventually became a big problem, wouldn't we regret it?"

At first, Lin Ruhai just said this casually, but the more he talked, the more he felt that it was so, and the worry in his eyes became more and more serious. If people who didn't know saw it, they might think that Hanhan was really sick.

Jia Shu looked at Hanhan who never forgot to smack his mouth even when he was sleeping, and he didn't think there was any problem with his health.But in order to make Lin Ruhai feel at ease, she still agreed to his calling the doctor.

But the final result was as Jia Shu expected, Hanhan was very healthy, but he liked to sleep very much.

While the Lin family was concentrating on waiting for Emperor Chengtian in the capital to officially promulgate the revised laws and regulations, the steward who was sent to the capital wrote a letter of some kind of news——

Aunt Zhou of the General's Mansion accidentally fell down while walking in the yard, and had a miscarriage. Although the imperial doctor in the mansion tried her best to treat her, she only saved a daughter who was less than a month old. Bleeding, that's it.

It was stated in the letter that the child followed Yuanchun and was given the baby name of Liuchun, and now he is being raised at the knee of his aunt, Mrs. Wang.

Although there were too many loopholes in this matter to stand up to scrutiny, after Mrs. Wang raised Zhao Shi, who was serving by her side, as an aunt, Jia Zheng indulged in Zhao Shi's beauty, and simply threw his hands away, without any intention of pursuing it.

As for the Rongguo Mansion?Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi didn't care about the concubine's children, so naturally they didn't pay any attention to it.

Later, after discovering that Mrs. Wang had a good attitude towards Liuchun and did not treat him harshly, she stopped paying attention.The elders and fathers who could talk didn't care, and the little Liuchun girl who was just born was raised by Mrs. Wang's side like this, no one cared.

The Lin family did not have many heirs, and it was a bit embarrassing to hear the news, but the Jia family's descendants were clear and beyond reproach, they had no position to say anything.

What's more, not long after, another major event that shocked the two emperors happened at Jia Baoyu's Zhou Catch Banquet...
