Across the Red Mansion: Jia Amnesty's original partner

064

Time flies like running water. When summer passed and winter came, in December of this year, a large number of women in the Jia family were about to give birth. At this time, Jia Baoyu, who became Jia Chen, had already been born for more than seven months.

Zhang Jianing, Shi Fangfang, Jia Li, Jia Li, Jia Min, Zheng Ruyu, a total of six pregnant women are expected to give birth around December.

Shi Fangfang was the first to give birth among the six. After all, she was a 46-year-old woman who would soon be 47. There were signs of premature delivery. Therefore, when Shi Fangfang was more than seven months pregnant, Jia's family had already entered the first-level preparation stage.

On the first day of December, Shi Fangfang had just passed the seven-month-old August and entered September, and there were still ten days before the due date, Shi Fangfang started.

Since her pregnancy, Shi Fangfang, who was pregnant at the age of 46, was ashamed to see others. In the past few months, except for Mrs. Zhao who came to take care of Zhang Jianing who had a severe reaction during pregnancy, Jia Shifangfang had never seen Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. Leng hid in the pear fragrance courtyard to give birth.

Mother-in-law's childbirth is a big event, so except for the children, all the masters, big and small, came to the Jia family. Needless to say, Jia pardoned Zhang Jianing, Jia Zheng and Wang's couple, and even Zheng Ruyu, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, also came. I don't know what she thinks, but thinking that Zheng Ruyu is just a second wife, if Wang's regular wife asks her to do it, she probably can't help it.

Jia Jing's wife Xu from Ningfu next door also came with Jia Zhen's wife Xu. This Xu is the original partner, the one who gave birth to Jia Rong.

A group of people were waiting in the main hall of Lixiangyuan. The men were drinking tea in the main hall, while the women were in the side hall. What worried him most was Jia Daishan. The person who stepped into the coffin was like having a twilight love.

"Why did the elders come here with a child? Go back and rest quickly, and Mrs. Zheng will also go back. Where is the eldest and second child? Send them back. The second family will stay here with your sister-in-law and nephew."

After Jia Daishan finished speaking, he left. After a while, Jia She and Jia Zheng yelled at the door of the side hall. Zhang Jianing and Zheng Ruyu went out and were sent back by Jia She and Jia Zheng to rest.

After all, Shi Fangfang was too old when she was pregnant. This baby was not only premature, but also dystocia. It started at Weishi in the afternoon (1:5 p.m. to 19:21 p.m.) and did not give birth until Xushi at night ([-]:[-]-[-]:[-]). down.

In the end, Jia Daishan was worried about what would happen to Shi Fangfang, and he didn't care about any men and women's defenses, so he asked the imperial doctor to enter the delivery room to feel Shi Fangfang's pulse.

After the imperial physician came out, it was not bad news. Shi Fangfang, who had traveled here, had been exercising all the time. Even if she became pregnant later, she was not like other women in ancient times.

Although Shi Fangfang never went out after transmigrating and stayed in Lixiangyuan every day, she insisted on exercising for an hour in the morning and evening every day. In addition, Shi Fangfang suffered from severe morning sickness before, and Zhang Jianing also gave her a lot of space spirit spring water, So Shi Fangfang's situation is really not too serious.

Of course, after hearing about Shi Fangfang's dystocia, Zhang Jianing also came to see the situation in person. When she came, Shi Fangfang's maid, Yuanyang, came over with sliced ​​ginseng, which seemed to be for Shi Fangfang to suck.

"Yuanyang, are you taking ginseng slices? Show me." Zhang Jianing said to Yuanyang.

Zhang Jianing took a look at the ginseng slices and said: "I asked Qingmei to bring a 500-year-old ginseng, which has been cut up, Qingmei."

Qing Mei stepped forward immediately, holding a wooden box in her hand, inside the box was a ginseng that was already in human shape, but some ginseng slices had already been cut out.

Qingmei handed the box to Imperial Physician Wang, and Imperial Physician Wang took it over, looked at it, and handed it to Yuanyang, saying: "This ginseng has better medicinal effect, just use this."

After Yuanyang took the ginseng slices in, she quickly used them, and Shi Fangfang, who was exhausted after a while, quickly regained her strength.

This is also a matter of course, this ginseng was specially soaked by Zhang Jianing in Lingquan water, so that it can be taken out to save lives at critical times.

With this reason, Shi Fangfang shouldn't have any major problems in giving birth. After all, Shi Fangfang was just exhausted, and there was no other problem.

Sure enough, after another half an hour or so, everyone outside heard the cry of the baby, and Granny Wen came out with a smile on her face and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo gave birth to a young lady, and both mother and daughter are well." !"

"Okay, okay, reward." Jia Daishan happily said several good words in succession: "This month, people in the Yuefu will pay two extra months of monthly money."

All the servants present all knelt down to congratulate Jia Daishan: "Congratulations, Lord! Congratulations, Lord!"

It can be said that the Chinese New Year is a fat year for the servants of the Jia Mansion. Now Shi Fangfang pays two months more for her birth, and Zhang Jianing will give birth again in about half a month. It is conservatively estimated that there will be two more months. monthly money.

In addition, after the new year of the Jia family, the servants will kowtow to the masters to pay New Year's greetings. It is conservatively estimated that the servants of the Jia family will be able to earn at least half a year's wages this year, so let's not mention the kowtow now. Congratulations Not to mention how loud it is.

To say that in this era, many people are willing to find a rich family and sell themselves as slaves instead of being an ordinary commoner outside. Otherwise, the Jin Chuan next to Mrs. Wang would not have committed suicide by throwing himself into a well after being kicked out. .

There is also Zhou Rui's son-in-law Leng Zixing, Zhou Rui's daughter who opened a pawn shop and married Zhou Rui. You must know that Zhou Rui is just a servant of the Jia family.

It's just that Zhou Rui is still one of the many housekeepers of the Jia family. In name, he only takes care of the spring and autumn rent, and takes the young masters out in his spare time.

But Zhou Rui's wife is just a companion of Mrs. Wang, but why would Leng Zixing, who is already an antique dealer, still want to marry Zhou Rui's daughter?

To know that this is a society of power and money, let’s take the peasants at the bottom as an example. Although it is said that they are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and farmers rank second, in fact, peasants and ordinary people depend on the sky for their food. Selling children and daughters is the same as selling yourself into slavery.

Workers and businessmen are also not much better, without a backer, and any small official can make them unable to eat.

Take ancient Chinese merchants as an example. The status of merchants was low. In the Qin Dynasty, merchants were not allowed to wear silk clothing even if they were very rich. In the Tang Dynasty, merchants were not allowed to be officials.

Thousands of years later, it was not until the Qin Dynasty that they could not wear silk clothes, the Han Dynasty declared false declarations and confiscated family wealth, the Tang Dynasty could not enter the court as an official, the situation of being discriminated against improved in the Song Dynasty, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that there were red-capped businessmen.

So it’s even worse for businessmen. If you have less money, you can’t get through the relationship. If you have more money, you still have to worry about being charged with crimes and ruining your family.

If you don't look good, you won't be able to get married. If you look too good, you will be in trouble. Since ancient times, it's not just talk about how beautiful women are.

That's why Leng Zixing, who opened an antique shop, married a maid as his wife. You must know that antiques have always been something that rich people can afford. How can you afford to open an antique shop without a certain amount of money?

This is because Mrs. Wang is the head wife of the Jia family, Zhou Rui is the housekeeper of the Jia family, and Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's confidant. Leng Zixing can take advantage of the Jia family's influence.

Even though the men of Jia’s family were unlucky and had only one empty title, and in the end they were forced to sell Jia’s mother’s personal belongings to make a living, but now having such a thousand titles can still scare many people.

Well, let’s get far, now the topic comes back to Shi Fangfang’s childbirth. Shi Fangfang gave birth to a daughter, and both mother and daughter are safe. Everyone in the family was overjoyed.

Jia Daishan had two sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, and four grandsons born by direct relatives, so Shi Fangfang was not disappointed when she gave birth to a girl, but was very happy because she was an old girl.

Jia She and Zhang Jianing don't panic because they have food in their hands. Jia She has the private property left to him by his grandmother, Mrs. Jia, and he is very rich, and Zhang Jianing is richer than Jia She because of his business skills.

So the two of them also looked down on Jia Mu's family property, not to mention that only Zhang Jianing knew that she had moved a lot of things out of Jia Shi's private treasury, Zhang Jianing would not have cared even if it hadn't been moved.

What's more, the Jia family split up long ago, and Jia Amnesty got most of the family property and title, so give Jia Shi's little property to whomever he likes, they are not short of money!

The only thing that cared, and the one who was lucky there was Jia Zheng, who had regarded Jia Shishi's dowry private property as his own when he took Jia Zhu into Jia Shishi's upbringing.

So Jia Zheng hasn't had a good night's sleep since Shi Fangfang became pregnant. You must know that he and Jia Amnesty have separated. The dowry and everything are given to the youngest son.

And how could Jia Zheng, who had long regarded Jia Shifangfang's dowry private property as his property, bear it? Isn't this his loss?

Now that Shi Fangfang is giving birth to a daughter, Jia Zhengda is relieved. The daughter can just marry off with a dowry, which is much cheaper than having a son.

Then again, Shi Fangfang's daughter was named Jia Yu by Jia Daishan, which means Zhong Ling Yuxiu, which also shows Jia Daishan's expectations for his youngest daughter.

Originally, Jia Daishan also wanted his little daughter to take the name next to the word "攵" like Jia She and others, but it is a pity that there are not many characters next to the word "攵" that are suitable for girls. Because of Jia Lian's Wang character generation, they can't use it.

In the end, after many choices, a character named Yu was selected. The surname Jia is really too difficult to choose a name, and any good character paired with the surname Jia will be ruined.
