The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

The Linjing Hall is the place where the emperor received foreign ministers. There are several side halls around the main hall for the ministers to stay overnight.Mingxu is sitting on the couch in the side hall right now, watching the rain and snow outside the window seem to be getting worse, the imperial physician in front of him is skillfully rubbing away the blood on his knees, and then baked two pairs of plasters on the fire, Only then did Mingxu feel that he had regained a little consciousness.

I knelt for nearly an hour and a half. At the beginning, it was okay. The ground was cold but clean. I didn’t feel much in my knees after being frozen. But then it snowed lightly, and it melted away after landing. There is a lot of pain all over the place.In the end, the flow of time is getting slower and slower, and Mingxu is also a little panicked. If the root cause of the disease has fallen, there is no place to cry when you are old and cold.

Suffering until his eyes turned black, the queen's people came in time, Mingxu realized that it was only a long while, and he felt relieved in his heart. It’s better to pay attention, you are underage, your bones are still developing, and now you suddenly have a cold in your joints, you may suffer when you are old. The prescription prescribed by the old man goes back and takes the dose. Pay more attention to maintenance on weekdays, so that the knees are not easy to strain , act more cautiously."

"Thank you sir for treating me, and I would like to follow your instructions." Mingxu was very grateful, and after speaking, he bowed before his body with his hands raised, sat down and bowed.

"Just listen to it." Doctor Wang accepted the gift, waved his hands and left with the medical box.

"Thank you father-in-law for coming to inform me, and please father-in-law to convey my thanks to empress empress for me." So Ming Xu turned around and thanked the eunuch who sent the message.

"It's our job to be polite, Your Excellency." The eunuch was very polite, and said with a smile, "The time of You is approaching, can you ask us to give you a ride?" If the emperor hadn't discussed matters with him, there would be no guests in the palace during the time of You.

"Don't bother Eunuch." Mingxu refused: "Just now I couldn't leave, so I asked Eunuch to take care of it. Now that I'm fine, I should go back." After saying that, he got out of bed, changed his clothes and left.

From the Linjing Hall to the gate of the palace, Mingxu felt a little strenuous.Fortunately, Chang An saw that he had not been out for a long time, guessed that he must have been tripped by something, and drove the carriage to Yujiekou to wait. Seeing that the master finally came out, he seemed to be staggering, so he hurried forward to help him.

Ming Xu waved his hand to stop Chang An's about to ask, got on the car and closed his eyes.

Seeing his tired face, Changan re-lit the stove in the car, exited and drove home.

Directly driving the car to the gate of the courtyard, Ming Xu avoided Chang An's outstretched hand, and approached the main room with a normal face, and when he approached the inner room, he heard Zijuan's voice, Ming Xu frowned slightly, and stopped in his tracks.

"Girl, it depends on fate. Don't be in a hurry. It has nothing to do with luck! You read the most books, so why don't you ask me to reason with you?"

Didn't hear Daiyu's echo, and heard Zijuan sigh: "You can't get what you want, and you should let things happen naturally. What is the girl worried about? Didn't the female doctor say that the girl is fine? It sounds good, I'm afraid the girl doesn't know it, compared to other families, it's considered polite and respectful, so it's fine to listen to it, don't keep it in your heart, because it's uncomfortable, the girl really shouldn't be angry and sad about it."

"What did mother and Yu'er say?" Mingxu pushed open the door and went in, seeing Daiyu's eyes swollen from crying, approached and pulled her up to ask.

Daiyu was startled when she saw him come in, but she shook her head and refused to say anything, Zijuan was secretly worried at the side, my uncle came in with a gust of wind and snow, and asked questions as soon as he entered the door. He misunderstood that the master and the servant were talking small about his wife, so he hurriedly winked at Daiyu, but Daiyu didn't speak at all.

Zijuan hastily bowed to Mingxu, and was about to speak for Daiyu, but Mingxu raised his hand to stop, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"But mother mentioned the child to you?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Ming Xu asked directly.He is not stupid, combined with Zicuckoo's words, he should know what happened at home.

Daiyu just shed tears silently, but still didn't answer.Ming Xu secretly sighed, got up and walked out: "I'll go and talk to my mother."

"Stop." Daiyu burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth: "You just came back and said that she only thought I abetted it, and then I will be accused of bewitching in vain."

"Don't worry, I'll make it clear." Mingxu paused and waited for Daiyu to finish speaking, before going out: "The winter is short, Yu'er should go to bed earlier, I'm afraid she will stay with mother for a while, don't wait for me at night. "

Daiyu never thought of saying it herself, Mingxu was still stubborn and was momentarily stunned.

When Ming Xu went to his parents' place, his mother, Song Shi, had just finished dinner and was talking to the maid to digest food. She was a little surprised to see him coming in the snow, but after thinking about it, she could think of the reason, and only in the afternoon did she ask Lin Shi to hug her. Grandson, my son came here as soon as he got off the yamen, so there is nothing I don't understand.Thinking of this, the smile on Song's face faded, but she still beckoned her son to sit down.

Although he used incense in the car, but his mother was a master perfumer, Mingxu was afraid that she would smell the medicine on his body, so he sat down a little far away from where Song Shi was pointing.

Seeing his movement, Song's eyelids drooped slightly, covering the flash of emotion in his eyes, and said: "It's such a cold day, Xu'er is not staying in the house after going down, why did you come to my place? Your brother has been in trouble recently Apart from going to study at my husband's place, I don't go out at all, and even the morning greetings are intermittent, and he is so young, if I marry a wife and start a family in the future, I won't even be able to see anyone."

Ming Xu didn't seem to notice anything, and said with a smile: "Although the weather has turned cold, I'm tired after all. Reading is for training my will. I'll talk about him tomorrow, but it's been a long time since I checked my brother's homework."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, is there something wrong with Xu'er?" Song Shi suddenly approached, frowning.Knowing her son, Mo Ruomu, seeing Ming Xu's warm face under the light, and the faint smell of medicine since he came into the room, Song was a little sullen, this child, why don't you say that he is sick.

Seeing Mrs. Song staring at her face with a worried expression, Ming Xu helped her back to the couch and sat down, rubbed her cheeks, and said: "Mother is overthinking, it's not bad, Xu Shi just came from the outside Come in, you haven’t recovered your blood yet, just look at it.” At the end, she seemed a little embarrassed, and complained softly: “The road in the palace is really smooth, and I accidentally fell down. It’s not a big deal, but Some scratches, Chang'an insists on saying that it will get better in winter, and it needs to be smeared with medicine."

Mingxu got up and walked around in front of Mrs. Song, said with a smile: "Look, it's alive and kicking, what's wrong with it? Touch your hands again, it's warm, not cold."

It's rare for an adult son to act like a spoiled child in front of her, and Song couldn't hold back her smile: "I'll let you go if you're being foolish and tricky? Do you really think I don't know what you're here for?"

Mingxu walked around behind Song Shi and squeezed her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Mother is smart, why don't you tell me what I came to find my mother?" Get out, and then see each other again.

Every mother in this world confronts her son, and the loser is always the one.

Mrs. Song sighed, and motioned Ming Xu to sit down in front, "I don't have to be this villain, let alone, your sister has both children now, and she is only two years older than you, I always can't bear to see you under your lap emptiness."

Mingxu smiled: "Mother, those who didn't know thought I had half a foot in the coffin, and after careful calculation, I was still under the age of the crown, how can I use the words 'empty below the knee'?" I am still young, The future is long, this matter is really not urgent.

"Why don't I understand this truth? Did you see that I said half a sentence in the past? It's only been two years since Mrs. Lin married here. I'm not afraid that she will give birth late, but I'm afraid that she will be born with hidden diseases and not be able to give birth." Mrs. Song is really not that kind Such a strict mother-in-law, it is not uncommon for a woman to enter the Houmen mansion without pregnancy for two years, besides, the son and daughter-in-law are harmonious, and the child is only a matter of time, afraid of putting pressure on the daughter-in-law, Song never mentioned it.

Only these two days when Mrs. Song went to the palace to cry, met some friendly wives, and chatted about their children and grandchildren, it suddenly occurred to her that her daughter-in-law's family did not have many children, and she was the only one in her life.This association happened to my daughter-in-law's belly for two years without any movement. The more I thought about it, the more afraid I was. When I came back, I met Daiyu and hinted that she was actively conceiving and cooperated with the female doctor to take care of her.

"Mother" Mingxu smiled wryly: "Yu'er has no health problems, and I didn't think she would give birth to a child immediately. She is only seventeen now. If she is pregnant with a child, won't she not grow taller? You can have a child at any time, but Growing tall is a matter of these two years, if you miss it in this life, you won’t have it.”

"Nonsense, the height is given by the parents. The parents are slender, and there are many people who have raised their height after having children. Those whose parents are short, even when they grow up to 70 years old, they are still not as good as others." Song was not annoyed, Seriously tell my son that genes determine height.At the end, she asked softly, "Xu'er likes taller ones?"

"Naturally." Mingxu doesn't know why, but it's really not good for the small and exquisite one.

"Then mother will find you a girl with a beautiful face and a slender figure?"

Where is this?Ming Xu was helpless: "Mother, I don't need a girl to serve me, nor a beautiful girl with a slender figure. You won't tell Yu'er about this today, will you?"

"No, if the Lin family can give birth, it's useless for you to have a concubine. You can't let the concubine come first. If you can't give birth, you have to wait a few more years." If you can't do it, you can't take the concubine's son as your heir.

Mingxu nodded: "Mother, having a child is a matter for both husband and wife, and you should not shirk it on one person. I don't think it is a good time to raise a child. I am not ready yet." The transformation of the father, not ready to meet the life of flesh and blood.

Song didn't think there was any need to prepare for having a child, she just wanted to give birth after she was pregnant, but if her son said he was not ready, he had to ask.

"Why aren't you ready? Now that you've finished your studies, you're not a foreigner who doesn't stay at home all year round. The yamen is quiet and the wind and waves in Beijing are calm. When will you go if you don't have children now? It may not be the right time, place and people."

"I'm still a child myself, why do I have to have a child?" This really doesn't make sense to Song Shi, Ming Xu simply cheats, who is not a baby.

Song sneered: "Why do you have to have a baby? Is there a knife on your neck? Mother just thinks it's time for you to have a baby. Since you have a plan in mind, I'm not being unreasonable."

"Mother, don't worry, the son understands in his heart." Mingxu immediately assured.

"If that's the case, I'll just wait." Song Shi sighed, after all, she didn't want to create a quarrel with her son.

After finishing talking about the business, Mingxu coaxed Mrs. Song with jokes, chatted about trivial matters and gossip, saw her smile again, and left after dinner and said that she was going to have supper.

After leaving the main room, he turned his feet and headed towards Mingsu's study.

Jia Fu.

When Jia Mu came out of the palace, she cried again when she saw Baoyu who came to pay her respects: "My son, you are getting more and more confused. Since you have lost your life, you have lost one soul, including three souls and seven souls." It looks good now, but it will wear you down in the future." Seeing that Baoyu was still in a daze, he beat his chest angrily: "I don't know which god my Jia family has offended this year. It’s been years since you’ve been kept from getting better, it’s good for your sister to be clean, but you’re seriously ill, and there’s no medicine in the world that’s right for you.”

Mother Jia's disturbance was a little louder, fearing that the old man would be too sad, so she passed away.Yuanyang hurriedly invited Wang Xifeng to persuade her.

Wang Xifeng came very quickly, as soon as she arrived in the hall, she saw her grandparents and grandson crying uncontrollably, it was really tragic, Xifeng took a lot of effort to persuade her, and asked Xiren to take her master back.

"At the age of our ancestors, he has eaten and used all the abalones, blood swallows, and fur clothes of thousands of gold in this world. He has both sons and daughters, and his children and grandchildren have enjoyed the blessings of his life. What is there to think about when he is old? You cry so disregarding your health, isn't it a joke for others?" Wang Xifeng brought water for Jia Mu to wash herself, and did not forget to comfort her.

"I'm so old, I still care about jokes or not. You're right, I'll have good fortune and longevity in my life, and I shouldn't have any regrets even if I go to hell immediately, but I just don't care about my precious jade, he His jade was lost, and the whole family couldn't find it for half a month, which made him suffer. I am still like this in the world. If I return to the underworld in the future, wouldn't he be gone for a few days? I have to see him well Only when you are safe and secure can you let go."

"I was just joking, and the old lady actually talked about the underworld. That's out of the question." Wang Xifeng clasped her palms together: "It's a sin."

"If the old lady is worried about Brother Bao, I will invite monks to chant scriptures tomorrow, and call the soul that was kept by Brother Bao."

"You are young and don't understand. This is not caused by a monster. The monk can't accept it." Jia Mu sighed: "This year has been unlucky for several years. It is because I have violated the Tai Sui Lord. You have to be happy to get better. Breaking through this bad luck will naturally bring you happiness."

"What does the old lady mean?"

"Didn't your aunt have already made up her mind to have Mrs. Xue as her daughter-in-law? If that's the case, you should immediately make arrangements for the marriage and arrange for the nearest zodiac day to give Baoyu a boost."

The marriage of gold and jade was determined by Wang's early on. Even Xue Pan was exiled to the barrenness and never returned for life.Wang Xifeng and Baochai have a good friendship, so they are naturally happy to see it succeed. Now that Jiamu is so careful, she immediately smiles and stretches her eyebrows.

"The old lady is so ingenious to notice that our family still needs you to sit in charge. Miss Xue has been blessed since she was a child, and she even approved Wangfu's fate, so she is in perfect harmony with Brother Bao."

"Our family hasn't held a wedding for many years, Feng girl made the place more lively." Mother Jia waved her hand to stop her words.

"The old lady just don't worry."

After a few more instructions, the old lady gave everything she could think of before going to bed.

On the second day, Sister Feng couldn't wait to go to Dao Rongxi Hall to report to Mrs. Wang and agree on Baoyu's marriage.
