The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

It is said that after Liu Xianglian went to Xihai, the third sister You stayed in Beijing, and every day she either made some needlework women's reds, or calculated business accounts, or went to Chenyuan to socialize, busy, no different from before.

It's the next year again.Every household changes door gods, cleans the house, and prepares new year's goods.Now it is only said that the second sister You is pregnant in October and will eventually give birth.And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he gave birth to a big fat boy who weighed five catties and six taels. Liang Fengrao was so happy that he almost hung his bow and arrows all over the corners of the beams, and when he sent his servants to report the good news to each mansion When old lady You heard about this, she couldn't help but put her palms together and recite the Buddha's name.

The servants of the Liang family, who were ordered by the Chen family to wait for a reward to report the letter, were busy packing things and went to the Liang family to visit their daughter and grandson.

When they arrived at the two families, Liang Fengrao greeted them out of the door early, seeing his mother-in-law and third sister, he was already smiling from ear to ear.In his mouth, he praised his son in every possible way for how smart and cute he was, and how he resembled him.

Listening to Liang Fengrao's rare noise, Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a good thing that you have a son now. Don't forget that my daughter is the one."

"Absolutely not, absolutely not. Mother-in-law, please don't worry. My second sister is a great contributor to our Liang family for giving me a big fat son. From then on, I can only treat her better. It's not good at all." Liang Fengrao said while inviting the two to enter.

It's freezing cold, but the charcoal fire inside the house is warm as spring.Mrs. Chen, Sanjieer and Liang Fengrao dispelled the cold air in front of the smoke cage before stepping into the room.

At that time, the second sister You was teasing her elder brother on the kang.My brother was wrapped in a little swaddle with a picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren embroidered on the bottom of red silk, and he was sleeping soundly.Seeing the three of Chen's standing at the door and looking in, Second Sister You couldn't help laughing and said: "Mom and sister are here too. Come and see our brother, he looks really good."

Everyone moved forward according to the words, quietly looking at the baby brother in the swaddle.After looking at it for a long time, Third Sister You smiled softly: "Brother-in-law said that my eldest nephew looks at him, but I don't think so. His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to my sister. Seeing that his skin is red, he will be pink and cute when he grows up. "

The second sister You just smiled when she heard the words.Because she had just given birth, her face was still a little swollen, and she hadn't applied any makeup, so she naturally didn't look as white as snow, with icy skin and bones, but at this time she had a child and everything was done, and she looked at her brother's eyebrows and eyes. She is gentle and loving, exuding the soft charm of a first-time mother, which almost makes Liang Fengrao catch her eyes and can't pull it out.

In a blink of an eye, it's time to wash three.When the female family members of the Liang family, You family, and Chen family had old family acquaintances, they naturally came to congratulate when they heard about this.Even those who could not come in person, such as Prince Yizhong's mansion, and several other county kings, princes, princesses, and princesses' mansions also sent their family members to give gifts.Even the saints in the palace and the Supreme Emperor heard the good news and sent people to celebrate.

On this day, the Liang Mansion was full of guests, and there was an endless stream of guests, so there was no need to elaborate on the hustle and bustle.

Because the brother of the Liang family was born on the first day of the new year.Many female family members couldn't help but praise this day as a good day, and if my elder brother was born on this day, there will be great luck in the future.

I don't know what narrow-mindedness it was, but he mentioned the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion while speaking.Gain Jia Yuanchun is also the birthday of the first day of the Lunar New Year.Some people laughed and said: "Even if the day when my brother is entrusted to give birth is good, Mrs. Liang must love her son and plan for his son's future. Otherwise, it is only on the birthday of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. Time is wasted, time is wasted. For example, the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion was born as a Gonghou lady, but she was sent to the palace by her biological parents to serve people in a well-behaved way. I thought others didn't know what was going on in my heart. No? It's a pity that in the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain. Now I'm in my twenties, and I'm still not married. I don't know how long it will be left by my family to be the leader .”

Everyone in the world knows that the two mansions of Rongning and Ning are connected with each other, the head wife of Ningguo mansion is the eldest girl of the You family, and Mrs. Liang is sister.Today, the second sister You is doing the third laundry for her brother, and you and sister Feng are also here.Hearing these words, one has to follow the words.But the person who spoke was Princess Zhongshun.

Seeing Youshi sizing her up, Princess Zhongshun couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandma Zhen, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. You also know that I'm not targeting you. It's really the second master Fenghuang Bao of your Rongguo Mansion who is deceiving people too much. It is said that he is a rich son. , what kind of people do you associate with on weekdays, it is not for us women and Taoists to discuss. But he is not easy to make friends with, so he just wants to seduce the Qi official in our mansion. Although that Qi official is humble, but because of her good singing, Our lord likes it quite a lot. I originally thought that when he was old, he would be promoted to stay in the opera troupe of the palace as a gentleman. It was also the meaning of caring for his life. Who knew that your second master Jiabao didn't know what to say, but he ran away secretly We were so anxious, so we had no choice but to send someone to your mansion and ask the second master Bao himself. Having said that, I vaguely remember that the second master Bao was born with a jade in his hand, and your old lady was happy. It’s like something. You’re a vegetarian monk and you’re preaching at the same time. You have to say that your brother has great fortune, and the whole capital is full of uproar. Thinking about it this way, there are many people in your family who have great fortune..."

Princess Zhongshun smiled as she spoke, because what she said was the truth, even though Sister Youshifeng was ashamed and ashamed, she couldn't say anything.The female family members of other families heard it, and although they were curious in their hearts, they all tacitly whitewashed the peace on their faces, and they all praised Yuxue, the elder brother of the Liang family, for being cute.

For a while, the banquet was over, and everyone went to their own homes.When Wang Xifeng returned to Rongguo Mansion, he couldn't help but greet the old ladies.Jia's mother then mentioned the matter of washing the three in Liang's mansion today.Sister Feng thought over and over again, but finally did not mention the matter of Princess Zhongshun.A clever person like Sister Feng would not dare to mention it, and even Youshi would not make fun of herself.It's a pity that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the matter of Princess Zhongshun mocking the Rongguo Mansion at the three banquets of the two families finally spread like wildfire.

When Mrs. Wang heard the rumors, she almost fell down in anger.After getting angry, he hugged Jia Yuanchun and cried bitterly, lamenting that his family was not blessed, and that his daughter was ridiculed as well.

Jia Yuanchun felt even more bitter.In the early years, he was sent by his parents to a place where no one could see people and suffered for so many years, and finally he was able to leave the palace and return home, although many years of hard work were wasted.But if the Jia family had been willing to arrange marriage for her when she was just out of the palace, instead of thinking of "exotic goods to live in", she wouldn't have wasted so many years.It has become a joke of officials and officials in Beijing after dinner.

Now even Baoyu has caused trouble outside, and people have to talk about it.Jia Yuanchun wanted to cry too, but unfortunately he couldn't cry when his tears were dry.

Mrs. Wang cried for a while holding her daughter, and then heard the rumor from the maid outside the door that "Miss Bao and the third girl are here."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately wiped her tears with a handkerchief.Before Jia Yuanchun could say anything, the curtain at the door rattled, and Baochai Tanchun had already come in.
