The Hulk of the Red Chamber

The action of the Nan'an Palace was very fast, and the Jia family here agreed. The next day, the Nan'an Palace held a banquet and publicly recognized Tanchun as a righteous daughter. Princess.But those who knew the truth secretly laughed, it was an order, but there was no jade certificate, no treasure book, and no female servants to order, so there was no name. Princess, since the founding of the country, this is the only one.

The Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County hastily packed up a hundred loads of dowry according to the specifications of the princess, and Tanchun embarked on the road of marrying far away.Lin Daiyu didn't go to see her, Jia's family has been overwhelmed now, no matter how much Lin Daiyu thinks about the friendship in her boudoir, she has to think about not getting her family involved, besides, she has been in her body for seven or eight months, and she walks around the back garden every day After walking around twice, I was so tired that I was out of breath, and I had to be supported by someone.

Apart from Xichun, Jia Baoyu, and Aunt Zhao from the Jia family who cried for Tanchun, the others were still heartless, and each of them even thought that Tanchun had a great fortune and gave birth to a princess for their family. Cheers and joy.

It had not been a few days since the wedding team set off, and the army here had already assembled. For the sake of confidentiality, there was no swearing-in meeting, and the three-way army set off directly.Everything is in place, just waiting for the results.

Shi Ding, Shi Hong and his son still go out early and return late every day. The war in the southeast not only affects the provinces near the southeast, but also other places on the border will not be affected, resulting in multi-line battles, especially in the area of ​​Ping'an Prefecture. , The Holy Majesty has secretly sent people to monitor the Xining Palace, and issued a secret decree. If the Xining Palace has any wrongdoing intentions, they can directly take down the entire Xining Palace on the charge of colluding with the barbarians and intending to rebel.

Central Beijing was calm for a while, and all departments were immersed in their work. At this juncture, no one dared to take the lead easily and attract other people's attention to themselves, only waiting for the battle report from the southeast.Because of the lessons learned before, now the battle report over there is once every three days, and the journey is [-] miles in an expedited manner. Every day, various news come over. Those who reported urgently, as soon as they saw the people and horses passing by, immediately went to inquire about the news of the battle report.Fortunately, until now, there is no bad news. Even Vanguard fought hand-to-hand with a group of soldiers from Qianxiang Country, caught Qianxiang Country by surprise, and wiped out all the soldiers and horses.

On this day, Shi Hong was in the yamen of the Ministry of Households, leading a large group of people gnashing their teeth to calculate the money and food that needed to be transported to the southeast camp, from which province's granary, how many civilians would be dispatched, and how to do it the fastest. Coordinate over there to see which counties and counties are dispatched as escorts.Although it is for future generations, that is, primary school application questions, but it is not that simple at the moment, and there are too many things to consider.

Suddenly, a small official from the household department ran in: "Master Shi, someone from the house has come, saying that there is something wrong at home!"

Shi Hong raised his head from a large pile of data, his expression was still a little dazed: "There is something at home, what is it?"

The little official was alert, and brought in the messenger. The messenger was Xin Yan. He was sweating profusely at the moment: "Master, grandma is about to give birth, and my wife sent a servant to call you back!"

Shi Hong stood up all of a sudden, almost knocking over the pile of file books on the table, with disbelief on his face: "It's so early, isn't it still half a month away?"

Xin Yan said with a bitter face: "I don't know, I just heard that it's going to be activated!"

Over there, Shi Hong's immediate superior, Zhao Youjun, the left servant of the household department, waved his hands and said, "Since this is the case, Zijia, you should go back first! Things are almost done here, and adding children to the family is a big deal!"

Shi Hong hurriedly thanked him, and then he left and followed Xin Yan, and ran out in a hurry, not even taking the carriage, and rode back directly, using the horse Xin Yan rode, Xin Yan was stupid Eye, hurriedly trotted to keep up, but the speed was not enough, and he disappeared after a while.

Shi Hong rushed back to Zhongjinghou's mansion in a hurry, and when he reached the door, he jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the porter, and trotted in by himself.

The delivery room was ready half a month ago. Shi Hong rushed to the door of the delivery room. Mrs. Qin was standing at the door waiting. Although the maid brought a chair, she couldn't sit still at all.Shi Hong hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Why did you give birth prematurely?"

Mrs. Qin also looked worried, and gritted her teeth: "Doctor Li said that Yu'er was pregnant with twins, but one of the fetuses was too weak, so I didn't get it out. I just found out! Yu'er is the first The fetus, the body is also slender, really..."

Shi Hong's complexion also changed. There is no caesarean section these days, and it all depends on the mother's own strength. Although the twins are smaller, the effort will not be too much, but there are two, that is to say, the mother has to give birth to one Child, when you are about to be exhausted, muster up your strength and give birth to a second child. In this age, it is really not an easy task.

Shi Hong wanted to go in, but was stopped by Mrs. Qin. These days, it is unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. Two nuns also stopped at the door of the delivery room. Shi Hong had to look inside from time to time through the door to see Holding hot water towels or something, the servants who kept coming in and out were so anxious that they wanted to ask what was going on, but they were afraid that Lin Daiyu would be distracted, so they had to give up and watched helplessly. The steady and composed, all of a sudden disappeared without a trace.

There were not many voices in the delivery room at the moment, Lin Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo ran out and said, "The girl said she was hungry and wanted to eat something!" Although Zijuan and Xueyan were married, they had never given birth after all. She said she was going to come over to serve her, but Wang Momo kicked her out. Don't make people afraid of having children in the future, that would be a crime!Therefore, besides the two stable women, there are a few nuns with experience in childbirth serving in the delivery room at this moment.

Shi Hong was stunned, but Mrs. Qin came to her senses and quickly ordered: "Quickly, ask the kitchen to make a bowl of chicken noodles!" After Lin Daiyu was pregnant, although her appetite was still small, she was very hungry and had to eat several times a day. Dayton, sometimes when she wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to eat some supper, there is always a stove in the small kitchen, which is specially prepared for Lin Daiyu to eat.

Soon, a large bowl of chicken noodle was delivered from the kitchen, Wang Momo quickly took it in, and Mrs. Qin thought about it, and followed.Lin Daiyu's face was pale at the moment, and she was half leaning on the bed. When she saw Mrs. Qin coming in, she called out: "Mother!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was still calm, Mrs. Qin nodded, and said, "Just eat if you want to eat, and then you will have strength!" Wang Momo took a bowl and waited for Lin Daiyu to eat half of the bowl of noodles. Lin Daiyu shook her head to express that she couldn't eat any more. , Mrs. Wen has been watching over there, Mrs. Qin is speaking comforting words. Lin Daiyu is in severe pain at the moment, so she can only nod her head. Suddenly, she can't help but let out a scream, Mrs. : "Quick, it's activated!"

When Shi Hong heard it, he was taken aback, ignored the two nuns blocking the door, and opened the door to look in, but there was a screen in front of him, and he only saw people walking behind the screen, and he didn't see anything else. less than.

It was getting dark, and the servants hurriedly lit up the air lanterns hanging under the eaves, and brought a few extra lanterns, and put them on in the yard to light them. The delivery room was brightly lit, and Shi Hong was anxious outside. Walking around, I didn't notice the passage of time at all, I heard Lin Daiyu's uncontrollable □ in the delivery room, and the voice of Mrs. Wen commanding. I don't know how long it took before I heard Mrs. Wen say in surprise: "Grandma Use your strength, you've already seen your head!"

After a while, there was a loud cry from the delivery room, and Granny Wen said there, "Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to wife, you are a brother!"

Mrs. Qin looked at the baby who was a lot smaller than the usual fetus, and she was happy in her heart, but she still said: "I want to congratulate you later, there is another one!" Then she said to Lin Daiyu: "Yu'er, please give me a hand!" Jin, there is another one in my stomach!"

Lin Daiyu didn't have the energy to speak, so she just nodded lightly, looked at the little red baby in the arms of Mrs. Wen, took a deep breath, and exerted her strength again. Over there, Mrs. Qin had already ordered someone to take it The old ginseng who came here cut into slices and gave Lin Daiyu two slices to suck.

The second one was born with great difficulty. Shi Hong hastily glanced at his body, which had been wiped clean, but still looked wrinkled. The elder son, who looked like a little monkey, suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to wait anxiously for news from the delivery room.

It was not until the middle of the night that the second child was born. It was also a boy. Compared with his elder brother, the second boy looked extremely thin, and his cry was like that of a kitten, softly. You can tell that there are some congenital deficiencies, probably because his brother robbed him of too much nutrition when he was in his mother's womb.Mrs. Wen weighed the two children, the eldest was four catties and six taels, and the second was only two catties and two taels.

Fortunately, the child is still safe, but Lin Daiyu exerted too much force, she only had time to take a look at her younger son, and then fell asleep, but fortunately, there was no bleeding, so Shi Hong invited Dr. Li into the delivery room to feel Lin Daiyu's pulse. The madam and the others insisted on following in, seeing Lin Daiyu's pale face, her heart tightened, but she still pulled down the curtain herself, and covered Lin Daiyu's wrist with a silk handkerchief, and then Dr. Li asked for pulse .Dr. Li also felt a little guilty. He prided himself on his medical skills, especially in gynecology, which is well-known in Chang'an City. Even the imperial physicians in the palace are not much better in this area. In the end, he came every half a month. Asking for a safe pulse, I couldn't even get the twins, and it turned out like this. Therefore, I was very careful when taking Lin Daiyu's pulse.

It took a long time for Dr. Li to open his mouth, using a lot of technical terms, which made Shi Hong, who had read some medical books overnight, feel dizzy, but he still explained Lin Daiyu's situation clearly. Yes, and there is another advantage to this, Lin Daiyu is congenitally deficient, so she can just take advantage of her confinement period, no matter how well she recuperates, she will be no different from ordinary people in the future.Then he felt the pulse of the two children. The eldest was fine, but the second was very weak.After deliberating for a long time, Dr. Li prescribed a prescription to strengthen the foundation and nourish the essence, and told Lin Daiyu to fry it every day, and asked the younger one to be fed by Lin Daiyu as much as possible. It can also be given to the child through milk, and it will be appropriate if it persists for two or three months.

Shi Hong repeatedly said yes, took the prescription, and asked someone to grab the medicine and decoct it, and gave Dr. Li a high-quality silver seal, and then sent Dr. Li away.
