The Historian of the Red Chamber has a daughter

In the Yilan Courtyard, Shi Xiangyun was washing up, sitting on the couch, eating melon seeds, and listening to Gu Yu's words.

Gu Yu's face was flushed with excitement, and she danced and gestured, "Girl, you don't know, Second Mistress Bao is pregnant, Second Wife is so happy, she wants this for that in front of First Wife and Second Mistress Lian, He also said that a pregnant person should take a good rest, and said that the mansion has not heard the cry of a baby for a long time, and now he is a little nervous. Who knows, that day, the second wife was in front of the old lady again, Speaking of Second Grandma Bao's pregnancy, Second Grandma Lian suddenly fainted on Sister Ping'er. The doctor came to check and said she was pregnant. The old lady was surprised and happy, but the second wife asked if it might be The doctor made a wrong diagnosis, so I asked an imperial physician to take a look. The eldest wife got angry on the spot, but the second grandmother Lian said that what the second wife said was very true, so she asked the second master Lian to find a familiar doctor Zhang, who is best at The mother and baby came together, and they came to check their pulse, and they said they were pregnant, four months old, and it was a boy! This made everyone very happy. It is said that the old man smashed his most beloved one on the spot. Putting on the fan, Second Master Lian was still crying. Second Grandma Lian said that an imperial physician was not safe, so she simply called for more imperial physicians to take a look. So Second Master Lian called several imperial physicians over and they all said it was a male fetus. The wife was so happy that she asked Sister Yuanyang to open the warehouse, selected several treasures, and let them carry them into the yard of Lian's second grandma. It is said that the second wife's eyes were straight on the spot. The second wife didn't even think about it. Pregnancy is a happy event, but is Second Grandma Lian's stomach comparable to that of Second Grandma Bao? The second grandma Lian is pregnant with a serious eldest grandson! The future successor! Second Grandma Bao's belly As for that, he is just the eldest son of the second son of a member of the fifth rank, Wai Lang, seriously speaking, he is not even as good as Lan Geer, but because the old lady likes the second master Bao, everyone respects him a little more."

Gu Yu babbled a lot, but Shi Xiangyun asked curiously: "Why? Now there is such a saying in the mansion?"

It was only then that Gu Yu realized, "It seems to be true! I haven't heard anyone mention this before. Now the mansion is full of such statements, and the second wife can't refute it, because it's the truth! Everyone gradually agrees, The belly of Second Grandma Lian is more noble than that of Grandma Baoer. But the old lady didn't object, so everyone thinks so."

Shi Xiangyun smiled, "Yes, after all, the fetus in Sister Feng's womb is definitely a boy, and it is not certain whether the fetus in Sister Bao's womb is male or female, and the month is three months younger than Sister Feng's. Furthermore, Although the old lady loves Baoyu the most, but now that the second room has a concubine, the old lady can rest assured that Baoyu's future is safe. As for sister Bao's child, although the old lady also loves it, compared to Baoyu, I'm afraid Let’s make some discounts! The most important thing is that the old lady still knows in her heart that once she is gone, the old man will be the master of the house. It’s just, when did the old lady figure it out!”

Gu Yu didn't understand Shi Xiangyun's meaning, she just tilted her head and looked at her own girl, "There's more, girl, do you want to listen?"

Shi Xiangyun nodded again and again, "Continue talking!"

Gu Yu was encouraged, and immediately said happily: "There is also the matter of the third girl. Before the second grandmother of Bao, wasn't the third girl in charge of this house? Later, the third girl's housekeeping rights were taken away, and Aunt Zhao was still in charge of Baoyu and the maid. Aunt Zhao was thrown to the Zhuangzi, and the third girl died down for a while. Later, the news of Second Grandma Bao’s pregnancy came out, and Aunt Zhao was picked up by the second master for a reason, and the third girl started shaking again. One day, the second master suddenly said in front of the old lady that since Baoyu's daughter-in-law is pregnant, she should give birth to her baby, and find someone else to take care of the housekeeping. The third girl took care of it very well before, and if it doesn't work, Lian The daughter-in-law took care of her well before. The second wife’s face turned pale in panic. In the end, it was the old lady who spoke and let Second Grandma Bao continue to take care of her. The second wife was very angry. After checking behind her back, it turned out that it was Aunt Zhao who said the words It was instigated in front of the second master. But the second wife is not a vegetarian. Within a few days, rumors spread in the mansion that the second wife gave the third girl a fancy talent. It is said that although the scholar is only 20 years old this year, his parents are still there, and he has six or seven brothers and sisters. He must be poor. Six brothers and sisters provide him with one! He was selected as a scholar when he was 14 years old. He took the exam three years ago and failed. After hearing this, the third girl was not willing to agree, and instigated Aunt Zhao to cry in front of the second master for a while. The second master went to argue with the second wife, but the second wife showed the second master some articles written by the scholar. The second master saw it and praised him repeatedly, saying that the scholar had real talent and learning, and the article was very insightful, and he must pass the imperial examination this time. Turning around, he went to persuade Aunt Zhao, saying that the second wife had put her heart into this marriage. , that scholar is not bad, he has a bright future, and the third girl will be blessed if she marries him. Aunt Zhao and the third girl are worrying now!"

Shi Xiangyun was dumbfounded, "How do you know this?"

Gu Yu said proudly, "Auntie Zhao's little Jixiang told me this in person, it's absolutely true! Now, the second wife has already sent a message to the scholar's family when she saw that the second master was a little moved. The imperial examination is over this year, no matter whether you win the exam or not, you will come to the door to propose marriage."

Shi Xiangyun swallowed, "No way? Is it true? What happened to the scholar's family?"

Gu Yu sighed, "Actually, after Aunt Zhao got the news, she asked her natal brother to investigate. That scholar has some real talents. He is a person from the suburbs of Beijing. He has won the reputation of a genius since he was a child. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 15." But their family is really poor. He is the youngest son. He has three older brothers and three older sisters. The whole family is honest and friendly. It is very easy for him to get a smart child. People who know him say that he is very smart on the way to school. Because of his family skills, the whole family devotes all their resources to support him. His brothers and sisters are all married, and that’s all. Here, it is said that the scholar is a very filial person who values ​​family and relatives. He has long since let go of his words and will never separate families in the future. Think about it, poor, don’t be afraid, there are three girls’ dowries anyway, no prospects, don’t be afraid, and The Jia family is the support of the foreign family. If you are afraid, you are afraid, the other party is a foolish and filial person. The third girl, a dignified prince's daughter, will be with the peasant woman Cao Mang in the future. Not to mention the third girl is reluctant, even Aunt Zhao Refuse to agree! Aunt Zhao made a fuss in front of the second master, and even said that she would rather marry the third girl to a wealthy family as a concubine than marry the third girl to a peasant family! But the second master asked the third girl When she didn't agree with Aunt Zhao's words, the third girl actually acquiesced."

This time Shi Xiangyun was really surprised, Jia Tanchun had always been ashamed of being a concubine, but now he has changed his mind?How time has changed! "It seems that a lot of things really happened in the Jia family during our absence!"

Gu Yu nodded in agreement, "Yes! These gossips from Jia's family are much more exciting than those outside. Girl, what else do you want to hear, I'll go and find out tomorrow!"

Li Xia walked in and said angrily, "What are you asking about, and you don't even look at what time it is, and you don't wait for the girl to take a break? When you come back, you don't even see anyone, and the family always inquires here and there. It's been so long. , don’t you want to dry your mouth?”

Gu Yu smiled embarrassedly, and Shi Xiangyun said: "I like to hear what you said about her! Go and find out tomorrow!"

When Gu Yu heard this, he glanced at Li Xia happily, then turned his head arrogantly, turned and ran down.

Li Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Girl, look at this little hoof, it's about to turn upside down!"

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "You don't care what she does, she's still young!"

"Girl, let's get used to her all day long!" Li Xia smiled and gargled Shi Xiangyun, then said, "Girl, it's late at night, so you should get some rest too! Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say!"

Shi Xiangyun fell asleep with unfinished thoughts.

On the second day, when Shi Xiangyun went to greet Jia Mu, he unexpectedly found that two pregnant women, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, had appeared.The only difference is that Wang Xifeng sat beside Jia Mu with her big belly, while Xue Baochai still stood beside Mrs. Wang.

"Hey, what's the matter today? So tidy?" Shi Xiangyun greeted Jiamu and the others with a smile, and sat beside Xichun and said.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Feng girl is filial and pious, she insists on coming to pay me a respect. I said you have a big belly, what are you doing here, she will not listen!"

Wang Xifeng smiled, "Yesterday I got something as good as my ancestor's. Today I don't come here to pay my respects to my ancestor. I feel uneasy! Besides, what can happen to my own family? Who has that?" No courage! The ancestors let Sister Baochai sit, she is also pregnant!"

Before Jia's mother said anything, Madam Wang laughed first, "No need, Bao girl is used to Hu Dahai falling, but just stand still, she can bear it! Whose daughter-in-law didn't come here like this!"

The smile on Xue Baochai's face never even changed.

Wang Xifeng sneered, "Yes, Sister Baochai is young and has a good body, unlike me. I, now that I understand it, everything is worse than my own health. Do you think that is the reason, old ancestor? ?”

Jia Mu nodded, patted Wang Xifeng's hand, and then said to Xue Baochai, "Listen to your second sister-in-law, don't rely on your youth, and don't take your body seriously. Your second sister-in-law is like this. She speaks from experience." ! Sit down now!"

Xue Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang in embarrassment. Although Mrs. Wang was angry, she still nodded slightly, and Xue Baochai just sat down.

The author has something to say: Shi Xiangyun looked at the looming battle between the first house and the second room of Jia's house, and Jia's mother watching from the sidelines with a smile, and suddenly felt that what the red scholars of later generations said was too true, this mother of Jia was the Jia's house The wisest man!She emptied the first room and promoted the second room, in fact, it was all to consolidate her unique position in Jia's mansion.It's just that in the original book, there are not so many variables. The second room's prestige is growing, and Jia's mother can't avoid it. That's why she can't keep Lin Daiyu and acquiesces to the golden and jade marriage.

But now, with so many variables, the long-standing balance between the eldest and second families has been broken, and Mother Jia has also begun to adjust her plans accordingly.Perhaps in Mother Jia's heart, Jia Baoyu might not be as important as she thought!At least, compared with one's own vital interests.
