[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

When the four of Lin Ruhai rushed to Mother Lin's yard, Mother Lin was really happy, and after hearing their arrangements, she could hardly hide the smile on her face.After learning from Lin Ruhai that these arrangements were proposed by Jia Shu, Mother Lin nodded to Jia Shu with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude.

Reciprocating, she also thought of the biological mother Jia Shu had been trying to bring out from the Rongguo Mansion before: "Shu'er, how is your mother?"

Jia Shu was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mother is obsessed with worshiping Buddha now, and doesn't like others to disturb her."

Of course, her previous contact with the Hu family has never been broken.

Jia Shu once thought about whether to bring the children to the place where Hu lived to show her. After all, Hu's yard is very close to Wen'anhou's mansion, so as long as protective measures are taken, the two children will not catch cold and get sick.

But since the Hu family came out of the Rongguo Mansion, they are all about Jia Shu, and they care less about people than Lin's mother.Apart from Lin Ruhai, Lin's mother still cared about two children at least, but because of the child she lost at the beginning, Mrs. Hu didn't want to see Jia Shu with a big belly, nor did she want to see the two children.

She was even not allowed to go there because she was worried that Jia Shu would be seen by others and cause gossip.

To be nice to a person is to see what the other person really needs, and then match what he likes.Besides, Mrs. Hu didn't want to see her and the child. If she ignored what Mrs. Hu did, with her paranoid personality, she didn't know what she would do.

Hu's life now has only one wish. Seeing Jia Shu live happily, after being taken out of Rongguo Mansion, she went to the Great Buddha Temple to invite a Bodhisattva to enshrine in the Buddhist hall, praying for Jia Shu every day.Other than that, she didn't ask for anything.

Before Jia Shu took Hu's family out of Rongguo Mansion, he also thought about whether he could take her directly to Lin's family.But at that time, she was not sure what Lin Mu's attitude was towards her, so she didn't mention it.

Now that she heard Mother Lin's words, she was sure that if she proposed to take Mrs. Hu to the Lin family, Mother Lin would never disagree.

But Mrs. Hu would never agree to such a thing——

The Hu family was originally Rong Guogong's concubine, and was released as a concubine after he had already given birth to a daughter, which in itself was slapping Rong Guogong in the face.And when Jia Shu's identity has been recorded under Jia Shi's name, and she has become the eldest daughter of the first line who is more noble than Jia Min, if she takes Hu's family to the Lin family to take care of her, will the Rongguo Guild act against the Lin family? Have criticisms?

When Lin's father passed away, Lin's mother sold all of Lin's father's concubines almost as soon as the funeral was over, which fully shows her attitude towards the concubines.No matter what, Mrs. Hu was born in a concubine's house. From then on, she would stick to Lin's mother's eyes every day and obstruct her eyes. After a long time, Lin's mother would really not have any thoughts about Jia Shu because of this?

Jia Shu herself didn't care, but after she was sure she was pregnant with two children and found that Mother Lin had a better attitude towards her, she only expressed this idea to Mrs. Hu, but Mrs. Hu sternly rejected her.

Mrs. Hu broke up these truths and explained them to her, and finally said: "Your mother-in-law treats you well now, so you should be filial to her. Don't think about these things."

Also because of this remark, Jia Shu had already given up the idea of ​​taking Aunt Hu to the Lin family.

She smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law visited my mother's residence a few days ago, and she was kicked out of me because she worshiped the Buddha."

Thinking of Hu's experience, Mother Lin became somewhat clear: "Even so, you should visit often."

"Daughter-in-law can save it." Jia Shu nodded.

After breakfast, Jia Shu left the two children at Mother Lin's place, and went back to the yard by himself. After finishing the affairs of the mansion, he took out the essay solicitation plan he had written before, and began to check for omissions and fill in the vacancies.

When you are obsessed with work, time always passes quickly.

In a flash, it was noon.

Lin Ruhai didn't come back until lunch was about to start.

Because Lin Ruhai didn't come back every day at noon, neither Jia Shu nor Lin's mother had any doubts.

After lunch, Mother Lin once again asked Jia Shu to visit Mrs. Hu.

Jia Shu understood that Mother Lin saw that she did not go out to visit Mrs. Hu in the morning, and thought she thought what Mrs. Lin said was just being polite, so she urged her again to tell Jia Shu that she really wanted her to visit Mrs. Hu.

Jia Shu had no choice but to nod.

After the lunch break, Jia Shu took Xuefushuangling, Chixia and the others to the Hu family's residence in a carriage.

Not surprisingly, she was directly welcomed into Hu's bedroom by the maid beside Hu.

After serving tea and snacks and lighting spices, one of the maids said to Jia Shu: "Mrs. Lin, my wife is currently praying to the Buddha, and it will take about half an hour to finish. Please don't mind, Mrs. Lin."

Jia Shu waved his hand: "You go down first."

When the people left, she turned and looked at Chixia next to her: "Hurry up and take out my essay proposal."

Chixia showed helplessness, and directly took out a stack of white paper full of words from a wooden box.

Jia Shu took it, and then said to Chi Xia and the others: "If you are hungry or thirsty, you can just take these pastries and tea, and if you run out, then let the maid in mother's house serve a plate."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the white paper filled with essay proposals and looked through it carefully. If there were any mistakes or omissions, she would poke a hole with a hairpin to mark them.

Half an hour is not a long time, if in the past, Chixia would definitely stand quietly aside.

But today, I don't know what happened. She felt very hungry after standing for a long time. Thinking of Jia Shu's order just now, she had no choice but to pick up the pastry next to her and put it in her mouth.

Xuefu and Shuangling looked at Chixia in surprise.

In their view, Chixia can be regarded as the wife's first confidant, not only helping her choose an excellent marriage partner - the young man next to the master holding books - but also relying on her after marriage, it is completely Use her as a companion.

The two were not without jealousy at the beginning, but after discovering that Chixia's personality was calm and careful, and she did all of Jia Shu's orders to perfection without a single mistake, they could only be convinced.

But today, how could Chixia do such unruly things?

Although the wife told them to eat and drink as much as they wanted, how could the servants not know that they couldn't listen to everything the master said?Now they are in the wife's biological mother's house again, at this time, they who are working as maids can only pretend that they didn't hear.

Chi Xia herself felt embarrassed, but she was so hungry that she really...

"Ouch—" Chixia suddenly felt nauseous, retched, and ran out of the room quickly.

Jia Shu came back to his senses: "What happened to Chixia?"

Xuefu and Shuangling looked at each other, and finally Xuefu said, "Sister Chixia just ate a few pieces of cakes, and she suddenly retched, and the servants don't know what happened."

Jia Shu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xuefu: "You go outside to invite a doctor."

When the doctor came, after the diagnosis and treatment, he said with a smile: "This sister-in-law is happy, and it has been more than half a month now."

Jia Shu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "This is a good thing, why don't you hurry up and give the doctor the consultation fee? Remember to double it!"

After they left, Jia Shu looked at Chi Xia, "Don't you even know you're pregnant?"

Chixia: "...Yes." Didn't you also know nothing when you were pregnant?

Jia Shu also seemed to recall the embarrassing incident of her pregnancy. After coughing a few times, she didn't mention it again, "You are pregnant now, so don't move too much. Let someone send you back to the Lin family."

Chixia shook her head with a firm expression: "Madam, don't worry, this servant is in good health, there is no need to go back early."

Jia Shu thought for a while, "Then you can let the maid in your mother's house take you to rest elsewhere, and you shouldn't be too tired even if you are pregnant."

Chi Xia wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Jia Shu directly, "The child in your stomach is important, don't worry about me, Xue Fu Shuang Ling is still by my side."

Chi Xia paused for a moment, then nodded: "Then madam, the servants are going down first."

Turning around, he told Xue Fushuang and Ling, "My wife forgets to rest when she is busy. You must remember that every time you have a cup of tea, you must let your wife rest for a while."

Xue Fushuang looked at each other, and simply nodded.

Chixia felt relieved, and asked a little girl who had been guarding the bedroom to take her to the next servant's room to rest.

Jia Shu smiled, ignored the conversation between the three, and continued to check the plan quietly.

After a while, Hu's eldest maid came in and reported: "Madam Lin, Madam has finished praying and will be here soon."

Jia Shu directly put down the paper in his hand, got up and sorted his clothes, and went to the door to wait.

After a while, Mrs. Hu came back with a few maidservants: "Count."

Jia Shu walked up to Mrs. Hu and supported her: "Mother, I told you that it is enough to worship the Buddha with sincerity. The Bodhisattva will know your wish, and you don't have to do it every day."

Mrs. Hu shook her head: "In this world, there are so many people worshiping the Buddha, and everyone has done enough work, but how can sincerity be enough?"

Jia Shu was helpless, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to let go.

Sitting on the chair, Mrs. Hu turned her gaze to Jia Shu: "Why are you here today?"

Before Jia Shu became pregnant, she came to her side very frequently, but after she became pregnant, not only the Lin family treated her strictly, but she also told her through the fat mouse that she was not allowed to come to her side in the future.

Jia came over immediately after counting out her confinement, but she didn't let her stay with her for long, and then drove him away, and mentioned that she was not allowed to come to her again in the future.

Jia Shu said with a helpless smile, "I came to see my mother, why does my mother still blame me?"

Mrs. Hu glanced at her, the corners of her mouth raised, but her eyes were not peaceful: "You have a happy life in the Lin family, take good care of your mother-in-law, considerate your husband, and just raise your children. Why come to my side again?"

"Didn't I tell you before, don't come to me." Hu's eyes were light, "Your business is in full swing now, and your husband has been promoted again and again in the officialdom. If people know of my existence, you two will not be seen outside. People talk gossip. If there is someone with a vicious heart or a pedantic mind, they might be able to impeach your husband."

"Mother, don't worry, Ruhai won't care." Jia Shu smiled, "And the emperor is in need of him now, even if someone impeaches him, the emperor will just keep him and won't have any influence on him."

Seeing that Jia Shu didn't care, Hu said, "But your mother-in-law doesn't care?"

Jia Shu sighed, "It was my mother-in-law who asked me to come here today."

Hu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"My mother-in-law is sympathetic and wants our mother and daughter to meet more often."

"How many more times?" Hu frowned, "You won't tell her about taking me to the Lin family? Why are you so confused! I told you not long ago, even if Mrs. Wen'anhou is always virtuous Famous, but the Marquis of Wen'an's Mansion doesn't have a single concubine now, so it's impossible for her to have a good impression of me."

Hu's also has self-knowledge. When she was the old man's concubine, she was restless, and she was the most hated concubine of the main family.

If you really want to go to Lin's house, isn't that nonsense?

"I carefully broke the truth into pieces and told you before, why are you disobedient?" Hu was furious, "I can tell you, no matter whether Madam Wen'anhou agrees to your request or not, I will not Maybe go live with the Lin family!"

Jia Shu burst out laughing: "Don't worry, mother, I never mentioned this matter. Mother-in-law is really just worried that you will feel lonely living here alone, so she asked me to visit you often."

Mrs. Hu didn't care why Jia Shu laughed, but said calmly, "I have lived in the Buddhist hall of Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, and I am also a person. Why don't you come here too? Do you think I am lonely? Come to me less in the future." , it’s not good for people to see!”

Jia Shu couldn't help it, so he had to promise that there was no important business in the future, so he would not come here again.

The two were talking, but saw the little girl who led Chixia to rest hurried to the door: "Madam, I have something urgent to report."

Jia Shu and the others stopped talking and turned their heads to look.

Hu said lightly: "Come in and say."

The servant girl knelt down as soon as she entered the door: "Mrs. Lin, the sister Chixia that Mrs. Lin brought earlier, well, it seems that she is going to have a miscarriage."

Jia Shuteng stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"

The maid was taken aback, and subconsciously repeated: "Sister Chixia seems to be having a miscarriage!"

Jia Shu turned to look at Mrs. Hu.

Hu's face was cold and cold: "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Immediately got up, turned around and ran out: "Madam, Mrs. Lin, Sister Chixia is here."

A group of people hurriedly followed, and Hu looked at her two big maids again: "You two go to different pharmacies and invite a doctor to come over!"

The two immediately left the team and ran out towards the gate.

Jia Shu and his party quickly arrived at the servant's room, opened the door and entered, and found Chixia lying on the bed, her face pale and dripping with cold sweat.

Jia Shu looked at the little girl, "Why do you say that Chixia might have a miscarriage?"

The girl hurriedly replied: "Go back to Madam Lin, Sister Chixia's obscene trousers are popular."

Jia Shu became anxious immediately: "Didn't it be fine just now?"

When the doctor found out that Chixia was pregnant, Chixia's complexion was rosy, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The servant girl wanted to cry without tears: "I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's going on. Sister Chixia fell asleep immediately when she got to the room, and there was nothing unusual before going to bed. I really don't know why Sister Chixia just fell asleep and turned into a girl. That's it."

She is also very innocent.

Because Chixia was found to be pregnant, Mrs. Lin was sympathetic and asked her to take Chixia to their house to rest.There was nothing unusual about Chixia when she arrived at the house, she just fell asleep, but before she woke up, she noticed that her complexion was not right.At first she thought that Chixia was having nightmares, and wanted to wake her up quickly, but she couldn't wake her up at all.She was anxious for a moment, so she lifted her quilt and wanted to hug her up and shake her awake, but she saw that Chixia's pants were red.

She was scared to death!

Jia Shu took a deep breath, "Someone understands medical theory..."

As soon as she said the words, she realized that something was wrong, Chixia, in fact, her medical skills are pretty good.

"Call her up quickly."

Xuefu and Shuangling stepped forward one after another, but no matter how she called Chixia, the cold sweat on her forehead was breaking out faster, and she didn't wake up.

Seeing this, Jia Shu said, "Bring the tea here."

A maid hurriedly brought over the overnight tea that had been cold in the room and handed it to her. After Jia Shu took it, he lifted the lid of the teapot and poured the tea inside directly on her face.

"Ahem..." Chixia just woke up.

Seeing a large group of people around, Chixia sat up with a puzzled face, originally wanted to get out of bed to salute Jia Shu and the two, but found that she didn't have much strength in her body, and her face was a little flustered: "Madam, what's wrong with this slave girl?" ?”

As soon as she spoke, she immediately realized that her voice was wrong.

"Ma'am..." Chixia looked terrified.

Jia Shu frowned: "Take your own pulse and see if you can see the problem."

Upon hearing this, Chixia immediately raised her hand to feel her pulse, but after a while, she didn't find any problem.She was even more frightened: "Ma'am, this servant's pulse is very healthy..."

"How is the child?"

"Child?" Chixia didn't realize it for a moment, and after realizing it, she put her right wrist on her again.

After a while, Chixia looked at Jia Shu blankly, "Madam, it seems that this servant is not pregnant..."

Jia Shu had a bad premonition in his heart: "Before and after the doctor came to see you, can you check your own pulse?"

Chixia nodded apprehensively: "I've done it..."

"do you have any kid?"

"Have……"

Chixia felt her pulse again, and after a while, she looked at Jia Shu with blank eyes: "It's gone, ma'am, the servant's child is gone..."

Jia Shu's eyes were stern: "Are you sure?"

Seeing that Jia Shu was in a bad mood, Mrs. Hu hurriedly pulled him back: "Wait for the doctor to come over first!"

Jia Shu took a deep breath, "Good mother."

She walked up to Chixia and sat down, and asked someone to put a coat on her, her expression was not the slightest bit relaxed.

It was only when she found out that she was pregnant that she had a miscarriage, which must have dealt a heavy blow to Chixia.

Chixia just hasn't reacted yet, otherwise she would have cried out a long time ago.

Not long after, the two doctors invited by the Hu family came.One of them was the doctor who had previously diagnosed that Chixia was pregnant.

The doctor saw Chixia's expression, and his heart skipped a beat.He forced a smile and looked at Jia Shu: "Madam, what's wrong with this lady?"

Just half an hour ago, he diagnosed that the maid was pregnant, and he assumed that she had received double the reward. It was not long before an accident occurred, and the family would not think that he had done something in it.

The atmosphere in the room was dignified. After another doctor noticed it naturally, he turned his head to look at his colleague, only to find that his expression was not very good, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You take her pulse to see if she is pregnant?" Hu said with a cold face.

The doctor who was diagnosed with pregnancy before was in a hurry. Didn't what he said questioned his ability?

"This madam, this sister-in-law is really pregnant!" He explained earnestly, "Seeing that she is also wearing a woman's bun, it's not surprising that she is pregnant."

Jia Shu had a cold face: "If you ask you to check it, you can check it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The doctor was taken aback and had to shut up.

But his own diagnosis was doubted, and he was not very happy, so he simply stood aside and waited for another doctor's result.

The doctor stepped forward with apprehension, and stretched out his hand to feel Chixia's pulse.Frowning after a while: "This sister-in-law doesn't seem to be pregnant."

"No?" The doctor standing beside him stared, hurried to him, pushed the man away, and directly felt Chixia's pulse.

After a while, cold sweat broke out on his face: "I'm really not pregnant..."

But when he took the pulse of this woman dressed as a woman just now, the pulse was clear, and there was no possibility of misdiagnosis!

He turned his head to look at Jia Shu and Hu Shi, who were not in a good mood: "You two ladies, I, I really..."

"Are you not pregnant, or did you have a miscarriage?"

The doctor was taken aback for a moment, as if realizing something, he reached for Chi Xia's wrist.

After a long time, he turned his head dejectedly, his eyes in a trance: "Back to the two wives, this sister-in-law...is not pregnant..."

Jia Shu held his breath and looked at the other doctor.

The doctor's heart was constricted by Jia Shu's gaze, and he was so frightened that he stuttered: "You two wives, this sister-in-law is really, really, really, not pregnant!"

Jia Shu clenched his fists and was about to speak, but was stopped by Mrs. Hu: "Has Chixia ever eaten or drank anything at my house?"

Jia Shu turned his head: "When I arrived, my mother was still paying respects to the Buddha, and the maid brought me a plate of pastries and tea. Chixia seems to have eaten it..." She looked at Xuefushuang, "Do you remember that Chixia ate How much?"

Shuangling said, "Mrs. Chixia, sister Chixia ate four and a half yuan pastries."

"Caiming, go and bring over the tea and cakes and show them to the two doctors. Is there any problem?"

As soon as Hu's words fell, a maid beside her ran out of the servant's room.

After a while, she came in again with a tray of pastries and tea.

The two doctors hurried forward.

But after checking for a long time, the two doctors looked at each other, and they could only see panic in each other's eyes.

One of them bite the bullet and said, "There is no foreign matter in this pastry and tea."

Could it be that he ate something bad at Lin's house?

Jia Shu looked at Chixia, who had regained consciousness at this moment and was weeping silently.

Jia Shu felt distressed, but he could only ask her: "Chixia, did you eat anything at Lin's house today?"

Chi Xia looked at Jia Shu: "The breakfast and lunch were made by the servants themselves, and I didn't eat anything else."

The meals Chixia cooks with her own hands can never be poisonous.

Jia Shu looked at Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu nodded, and said to the two doctors: "Can you two come to my room to see, since the tea and pastries are fine, maybe it's spices, or something else has been made by someone."

The two doctors could only nod their heads.

When they arrived at Hu's courtyard, the two doctors frowned before entering the door.

They were all worried that they were wrong, so they turned their heads to meet each other's eyes, and found that they had the same seriousness inside, and only then did they confirm the judgment in their hearts.

One of them walked to the flowers and plants planted by the yard, and pointed to one of the shrubs that grew particularly lushly: "Where did Madam find this plant?"

Hu looked at the bushes, and looked at Caiming suspiciously: "I remember that you are the one who takes care of the flowers and plants in this yard."

Hu's heart could only pretend to be Jia Shu, and he didn't care about the flowers and plants in the yard at all, and directly handed them over to Caiming to buy them.

Judging from the tone of the two doctors, there is obviously something wrong with this bush, and it is probably the culprit that caused Chixia's strange situation. Naturally, she can only question Caiming.

Caiming knelt down with a thud: "Ma'am, all the servants and servants in this yard bought flowers and plants in Fengyue Flower and Grass Lane, because the shop owner once mentioned that we are old acquaintances with you, and the servants came back to ask Madam."

It was only then that Mrs. Hu remembered what was going on: "You're talking about Guanshi Zhou?"

"Yes!"

Hu turned to look at Jia Shu: "I'll talk to you about this later."

After finishing speaking, she turned to look at the two doctors, "There may be some things in my room, you come with me to see if it is harmful.

After the two doctors checked everything in Hu's yard, they confirmed that the spices used by Hu's family were not poisonous, but when mixed with the scent of the shrubs in the yard, they would make people unconscious Aborted tires.

If it is used for a long time, it may even lead to lifelong infertility.

Jia Shu was even more angry. Hu was a concubine and had no intention of remarrying. It was impossible to conceive, and he didn't care whether he could still have children.On the contrary, she often came to Hu's side for a period of time. Although it was hidden, it was easy to find out about it after careful inspection.

It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Hu to harm her, but other people with ulterior motives may not.

She looked at Caiming: "When did the spices and shrubs change?"

Caiming blurted out: "Not long after my aunt found out she was pregnant, because the roses that were planted here suddenly withered, my slaves went to Fengyue Flower Alley to buy new flowers and plants."

"Suddenly wither?"

"Yes, in less than two days, the rose that was growing well has withered."

Jia Shu rolled his eyes: "When did mother start using that spice?"

There was ice in Hu's eyes: "I was using it before I entered the Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Shu looked at Mrs. Hu suddenly: "Did you enter the Rongguo Mansion?"

"A friend who was also a dancer gave it to me," she squinted her eyes. "The poison and medicine I wanted to use to commit suicide were also given to me by her."

Before Jia Shu could speak, Hu himself connected everything together, "That shopkeeper Zhou is the elder brother of that dancer."

"What's the matter with the poison and the medicine?" Jia Shu couldn't help but ask.

"See blood seal throat!"

"How could a dancing girl have such a drug?"

In the past, Mrs. Hu wanted to seek death at every turn, because she was worried about irritating her, Jia Shu didn't dare to mention the poison and medicine at all. Later, the medicine was destroyed by her, so Jia Shu naturally didn't care much.

But now that he heard that the medicine sealed the throat with blood, Jia Shu had to be concerned.

Mrs. Hu narrowed her eyes: "Because that dancer is from a foreign land, and is a spoil that was plundered by Da Xia soldiers on the battlefield."

Jia Shu: "..." What's going on, why is it involved in the war?

Mrs. Hu smiled, "Because the dancer has always been very peaceful, and said that she was an innocent and kidnapped commoner, those people didn't take her seriously at all. I was a little naive at the time, and I sympathized with her very much. But I It was also before she was taken away by Rong Guogong that I learned that she had poison and medicine in her hands."

"When she gave me the medicine, she said that she would commit suicide when I couldn't take it anymore."

Jia Shu's chest was burning with anger, he wished he could pull that man out from behind and burn his bones to ashes——

First he harmed Hu, then he wanted to harm her, and now he harmed Chi Xia!
