[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Mrs. Xing was talking to her in Luochun's room, beside her was Luochun's half-embroidered picture of swallows returning to spring, holding her hand with many small holes in it, and said distressedly: "Although it's important to know how to be a female red needle. , but for people like us, these things are done by people who are good at needlework. If you don't like it, do people around you raise them in the house not to let them do work, but to do their work? Just know a thing or two, In the future, it’s enough not to be manipulated by others, so why do you need to work so hard. Look at how your hands are tied up? How do you serve Pinxiu?”

Seeing Mrs. Xing angering those who served her, Luochun hurriedly interceded: "Mother, I don't care about their affairs, I like to do this myself. Besides, learning needlework is not easy, it's like this at the beginning, It will be good when I become proficient in the future and improve my skills. I saw a pair of 'Hui Wen' wreaths at the old lady's place. The embroidery on it was unconventional and ingenious. I am satisfied with the level.”

"You're not very old, but your heart is quite high." Mrs. Xing teased, patted Luochun's hand, and said angrily: "It will be fine when you improve your proficiency and skills. I'm afraid you won't wait until then. It's a hornet's nest. It's easy to learn but hard to master. It's not easy to learn it well, and it hurts your eyes very much. The needleworkers in our family are pretty good, but the embroiderers outside suffered from eye damage early on, and some even aged If you grow older, you can no longer see things, and because you bow your head for a long time to embroider, you have problems with your waist, back, shoulders and neck. People like us don’t rely on this for food, and no one expects you to become a generation of masters. Why is it so hard. As for the pair of necklaces in the old lady’s room, if you say they embroider well, it’s because the girl who did the embroidery was not an embroiderer. Embroidery is separated from those craftsmen. If you want to reach the level of others, you don’t need to be proficient in embroidery, it’s still far away.”

Of course Luochun knows that there is still a long way to go from a "craftsman" to a "teacher", not to mention that her current level has not even reached the level of a craftsman. The materials can gain the strengths of various families, and Luochun, who was taught by her needlework master and praised as a bit talented, feels that she still has an advantage in this age when craftsmanship is very important, so she is very disapproving of Mrs. Xing's statement .Just when she was about to refute, Mother Jia sent a maid to spread the word that Wang Xifeng was found to be pregnant and let Madam Xing and Luochun go over.

Mrs. Xing and Luochun got up and came to Jia Mu's main room, the room was full of joy, and Wang Xifeng sitting beside Jia Mu also had a happy expression on her face.As an old man, the happiest thing is to see the family member Ding Xingwang, not to mention that Wang Xifeng has been in her heart since she married in, so Jiamu took Wang Xifeng's hand, smiled from ear to ear, and ordered her First, he sent a message to the front yard, then ordered the kitchen to serve wine to celebrate, and then told Yuanyang to turn around and open the box to fetch some old things she had kept in the early years for Wang Xifeng, to "depress" the child in her stomach.

Luochun feels that sometimes she is a very contradictory person, because she will suddenly think of some unpleasant things for some reason when everyone is laughing, just like now, in this happy room, she did not visit Jiamu and Wang Xifeng made fun of it in front of her, and said some congratulatory words, but turned her attention to Li Wan who was sitting under Mrs. Wang's head.Although Li Wan seemed to be smiling like everyone else, Luo Chun noticed that the smile didn't reach her eyes, it was just floating on the surface and telling a story.Luo Chun even saw a trace of jealousy in Li Wan's eyes, but because this look flashed in her eyes, when Luo Chun wanted to take a closer look, she could no longer see it. There was only a perfunctory smile left, so she suspected that what she felt just now might be an illusion.

But maybe it's not an illusion, because Li Wan has every reason to be jealous.Although Jia Lan is the No.1 of the fourth generation in the mansion, his arrival did not cause much disturbance in the mansion, because at that time Jia Zhu was already seriously ill and dying. For Jia Zhu, who could see a bright future, the people in the house obviously cared more about him than the piece of flesh in Li Wan's stomach that he didn't know whether it was male or female.

Perhaps for Li Wan, who was about to lose her husband and was about to become a widow, the arrival of this child was a kind of redemption and comfort for her.However, for the Jia family, the sadness of Jia Zhu's impending death completely dilutes the joy of Li Wan's pregnancy. What's more, at that time, Mrs. Wang believed that Li Wanke had arrived in Jia Zhu, which caused Jia Zhu's early death.Although Jia Mu was noncommittal about this statement, she did not deny it.Perhaps in Jia's mother's heart, even if Jia Zhu was not killed by Li Wanke, as his wife, Li Wan also bears the unshirkable responsibility for Jia Zhu's death, because she, the wife, failed to take good care of Jia Zhu, her husband.The two giants in the inner house shared this attitude, so Li Wan was not treated differently because of her pregnancy.

Jia Lan was born as a posthumous child, because it was Jia Zhu's funeral, and Jia Lan had to observe filial piety, so no matter whether it was a full moon, a hundred days or a one-year-old birthday, there was no big deal. He just celebrated briefly in the mansion, and then enjoyed a few toys. It's not at all like Jia's usual way of doing things.Afterwards, although Jia Lan was No.1 in the fourth generation of the mansion, and also a male, he was always ignored intentionally or unintentionally, and the object of all the stars was still Jia Baoyu.And sometimes, as the eldest son and grandson of the Second Household, his sense of presence with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang is not even as good as Jia Huan, the concubine raised by his aunt.In contrast, how can you balance Li Wan's heart?

After eating at Jiamu's side, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Luochun drove back to the big room together.In the car, Mrs. Xing looked at Wang Xifeng's bulging belly and said, "Now that you are pregnant, you don't need to come to my side to make rules. Besides, pregnancy is a big deal, and you need to be careful at all times. You are in charge of the house now." , bothering you, there is another one in this stomach, how can you bear it, why don't you talk to the old lady, first hand over the things in hand to take care of the baby, and it will not be too late to continue to take care of the house after the delivery is over."

Just kidding, Wang Xifeng, who has a strong nature and likes to play tricks, has finally started to assist Mrs. Wang in housekeeping. She has just tasted the beauty of being in power and surrounded by servants, so she is not willing to let go.In Jiamu's room, after the joy of pregnancy faded, Wang Xifeng thought about this problem. At that time, she couldn't help complaining that the child came at an untimely time, but what she didn't expect was that neither Jiamu nor Mrs. Wang The issue of her transfer of power was mentioned, so naturally she would not be stupid and took the initiative to bring it up.Wang Xifeng thinks she is physically strong, and feels that even if she is pregnant, it will be fine and she should be able to handle it.

Now that Mrs. Xing asked her to hand over the power, Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said with a smile: "Thank you, madam, for your understanding, but it doesn't matter, I can do it. Although the daughter-in-law is in charge of the house, the following matters I have my own housekeeper and daughter-in-law to do the work, and I just help them make decisions when they are undecided, and the second aunt is in charge, so I don’t feel tired at all. What’s more, the master and wife are idle and don’t care about things. Enjoying the cleanliness, if Lian Er and I retreat to the back again, I am afraid that there will be no place for us to stand in this mansion in the future. Besides, the old lady and the second aunt are also old-fashioned, and they didn't mention it. As far as this matter is concerned, it is not a problem, so there is no need for my wife to worry about it."

While talking, the carriage stopped, and the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who were following raised the curtain, and the group got out of the car. Wang Xifeng saluted Mrs. Xing, said "Daughter-in-law is leaving", and then greeted Ping'er and An With his son's support, he left without looking back.Mrs. Xing was annoyed by Wang Xifeng's contemptuous attitude, looked at her back, and said to Luochun: "Listen, listen, what is she talking about? The implication is that the old lady didn't pay attention. I didn’t say anything, so I’m nosy. I’ve been treated as a donkey’s liver and lungs with all my good intentions. Who am I doing this for? Really, what am I talking about, what am I trying to do?”

Luo Chun also blamed Wang Xifeng for not knowing good people, but seeing Mrs. Xing's angry look, she kept silent and did not speak.Because she didn't know what to say, if she wanted to comfort Mrs. Xing, she would have to condemn Wang Xifeng, but if she added fuel to the fire and said Wang Xifeng was wrong, it would add fuel to the fire and make Mrs. Xing even more angry.But without mentioning Wang Xifeng's words, it was just empty words of persuasion, and general words were of no use at all, not to mention that Wang Xifeng had done something wrong in the first place.Luo Chun stepped forward to hold Mrs. Xing's hand tightly, unable to speak words, but expressed his comfort to her with actions.Seeing Luochun's concerned eyes, Mrs. Xing smiled and shook her head lightly, indicating that she was fine.

Jia's family is happy to have a baby, while the Lin family in Yangzhou is full of sadness, because Lin Lang, the only male of the Lin family, is lying on the bed, dying, dying.Although Lin Lang was not in good health when he was born, after taking good care of him, everything is slowly developing in a good direction.After all, Lin Lang is a boy, rather mischievous, different from his elder sister Daiyu, who can't calm down. Once he is better, he doesn't want to be confined in the house and go out to play.If the child is tossing and tossing happily, it means that he is in good health. Of course Jia Min likes to hear about it, so he doesn't hold Lin Lang back and lets him play.

However, in order to prevent accidents, every time Lin Lang is accompanied by a group of people, but Lin Lang is tired of these people surrounding her, yelling and stopping in front when he is playing, this one can't move, that one can't play Therefore, they always want to get rid of them, so there is always a "hide and seek" game between Lin Lang and the people who serve him.Although Lin Lang's body is not very healthy, but he has a sharp mind, and he is the master. These people who serve him understand his position in the mansion, and it is too late to curry favour, so they don't dare to disobey him, so Lin Lang always talks to him. Although the people who served him played hide-and-seek, they would always be found in the end, but he was able to successfully get rid of them at the beginning, and Lin Lang even regarded this as a game.

These people would panic when Lin Lang "disappeared" at first, but after finding someone safe and sound every time, they became accustomed to Lin Lang's "disappearing" from time to time, and even wanted to please Lin Lang. And cooperate from it, obviously seeing people but deliberately pretending not to see them.Lin Lang was having fun, so naturally he wouldn't tell Lin Hai and Jia Min about it, and the waiters were worried at first that they would be punished for not taking good care of them, so of course they didn't dare to tell the master. The principle of more things is worse than less things, keep silent, so Lin Hai and Jia Min don't know anything about it.

If you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts, because you have been doing well all the time, so that the people who serve Lin Lang relax, and let Lin Lang out of their sight for a long time under paralysis.When they realized this and they couldn't find Lin Lang, they became anxious, and rushed to report to Jia Min while searching.When Jia Min received the news, he mobilized all the people in the house to search all over the house, and finally found Lin Lang's shoe by the lotus pond.

When the drowning Lin Lang was rescued, he was out of breath.Jia Min was heartbroken and passed out at that time.Fortunately, the Yangzhou sage doctor Ma, who was invited to treat Lin Lang, felt that there was still a trace of heat in Lin Lang's chest. Under the acupuncture and moxibustion of his wonderful hands, the child finally breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that Lin Lang was congenitally weak, and he stayed in the water for too long, and it was late autumn, and the weather was cold and the water was cold. Therefore, although he came back to life, it didn't mean he was out of danger. In the end, was he dead or alive? Two said.

Famous doctors from Yangzhou and nearby Yangzhou were invited over like a stream, but they were helpless.Seeing that Lin Lang's life was at stake, Jia Min sat on Lin Lang's bed and couldn't leave him, weeping endlessly, his heart hurting like a heart-scratching liver, looking at his son who had more breath and less breath, he couldn't help but replace him with himself, Looking at that posture, it is clear that if Lin Lang dies, she will not survive.There is only such a single seedling in Qianqing's field. Lin Hai has such a son at such a young age, and he probably won't be able to give birth to another child. He is also very anxious about this. For the first time, he forgets his work because of personal interests, and rushes to find a famous doctor for his son. things.

Lin Hai, who has always paid attention to "the son does not talk, the strange power and the gods", does not like monks and Taoists. Looking at his dying son on the bed, he can't care about it now.In order to save Lin Lang, the couple Lin Hai and Jia Min tried every possible means, asking doctors for medicine, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, praying to dance gods... Lin Lang was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, completely relying on Luochun to send him away. The ginseng that has come more than a hundred years hangs with such a breath.Yangzhou officials, wealthy gentry and rich merchants, etc. knew the news of the accident of the only son of the Lin family, and they all helped to recommend a doctor, or helped to find a way. Just when Lin Hai and Jia Min were about to give up hope, one of the salt merchants recommended a professional and Not a doctor, but a gentleman with very good medical skills, come here.After treating Lin Lang, the man pondered for a while, and told the Lin family couple that he once saw a prescription in an ancient book, which might be helpful for Lin Lang's condition, but the medicine is hard to find, and it needs more than a hundred years old ginseng, and this The efficacy of the medicine is relatively overbearing, and Lin Lang's body is inherently weak, so even if Lin Lang is saved, he will probably be a "medicine jar" for the rest of his life. Whether it is studying literature or martial arts, if he wants to achieve success in the future, he must sell it to the emperor's family. , I am afraid it is impossible.

For the Lin couple, as long as Lin Lang is alive, there is nothing else to ask for. As for whether he is healthy or not, that is a matter for the future, so they hurriedly asked the other party to prescribe a prescription.As for the hard-to-find medicine, although the ginseng sent by Luochun for more than a hundred years has been used a lot these days to hang Lin Lang, but because there are so many sent, there are still leftovers, so it seems to be the most difficult medicine. Instead, the cited problem was easily resolved.

Seeing that Lin Lang took the medicine, his breathing slowed down, and the person who had been in a coma opened his eyes three days later, Jia Min was relieved and fell ill after following him.Jia Min, as the old daughter of Jia's mother, has been pampering her boudoir, and her body is not healthy. After marrying into the Lin family, except for the first few years when Lin Hai worked as an official in the Imperial Academy, after a few years of Anniversary, she followed Lin Hai ran around because of her job in the South and the North, and because she hadn't conceived for many years, in order to seek a child, the money spent on the medicines could have been paid for by a person like her, which added a lot of illnesses to her body. .

After all, Jia Min gave birth to Daiyu less than a year after she became pregnant, and then became pregnant with Lin Lang. The time between the two children was too close, which hurt the body, not to mention that the birth of the two children was not very smooth. Therefore, Jia Min's body looks fine on the surface, but it is actually empty inside.Now that this happened, not to mention great sorrow and great joy, Jia Min cried to death because of Lin Lang, and insisted on staying with his son regardless of his own body. During this period, he was completely supported by the breath in his chest, waiting for Lin Lang to leave. Dangerous, she finally couldn't hold on any longer, as soon as she relaxed mentally, she collapsed all of a sudden.This kind of disease accumulated over the years is the most difficult to cure. Ever since Jia Min was lingering on the sick bed, he started a life accompanied by medicine.

As a result, three of the four members of the Lin family couldn't leave their mouths.But all of this, Jia Min did not mention a word in the letter to Jia's family, and still "report good news but not bad news", saying that she and her family are all well.Because the medicinal materials sent by Luochun made great contributions during this period, Jia Min was so grateful to Dafang that it was hard to express it. His attitude towards Dafang became more intimate, which further aroused Madam Wang's dissatisfaction. This was all accidental. talk.
