Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Once born and twice acquainted, Jia Min has long been familiar with giving birth.

During the period of labor pains, she sat on the kang and arranged the manpower in an orderly manner, "Let Daiyu take care of Sui'er, and the two siblings are willing to guard me outside, and don't need to stop me." It's not that the first child naturally gave birth quickly , After finishing speaking, she turned her head and stared at Lin Hai who was still holding her hands, "Master, first turn around for a while, I can't do anything if you stare at me like this."

Only then did Lin Hai let the two nuns with sweaty foreheads join hands to "please" go out.

Fighting wits and bravery with the Sun family's former servants of the dragon, and even gradually fighting openly and secretly with each other, Lin Hai has never been so nervous now: his wife and children are his life!If it wasn't for his wife and children, why would he work so hard to make progress?

Jia Min wasn't worried at all, anyway, he had enough merit and virtue, so nothing could go wrong.Besides, the twins are a little smaller, so this time it won't be more troublesome than hers.

Sure enough, within an hour, Jia Min gave birth to a... kid.

Mammy's face was full of joy, and she congratulated loudly, "Congratulations to my wife, you are a strong brother."

Jia Min took a glance: the son is not small, his whole body is red, his eyes are tightly closed and his mouth is poking... She ordered decisively, "Give me a slap." Hurry up and let me hear it!

After a while, Lin Hai, who was anxiously waiting outside, heard his son's angry "Wow"...

Daiyu patted her younger brother on the shoulder and smiled, "You have a younger brother."

Brother Sui also clapped his hands and said: "This is really good." I also have a small follower.

Before the words finished, the nanny exclaimed from inside, "Ma'am, there is one more."

Then Jia Min ordered weakly, "Give me another bowl of ginseng soup."

When Lin Hai heard this, the smile on his face was also fleeting, "Minmin, how are you?"

In desperation...Master is really...

The nickname was also called out, but fortunately, those who can stay in the room at this moment are all the confidants and mothers who serve the master and wife closely, and even those who squat outside must be trusted servants and servants who have been around for many years.

It's not a big deal to lose your composure in front of acquaintances...

Jia Min heard it inside, and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, the midwife dared to growl in her heart: Madam, is this the time to laugh? !

Jia Min was laughing and hurting, sweat and tears mixed together for a while, but after all, she was a familiar hand, and she had a thick cup of ginseng soup to help out. He also came to the world neatly.

Two healthy boys... Finally, Jia Min was satisfied and planned to rest.

Seeing the two identical sons that Mammy held in front of her, she stretched out her hand and pinched each of them, and then ordered, "Hongwen, tell the master to seal the seal for the doctor who said I was pregnant with twins." some silver."

Hong Wen was wiping his wife's face, and when he heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry: Master is worried that you don't know how many times you have turned around in the same place. You gave birth to two young masters, and the first request was actually this...

Jia Min continued: "After tidying up the two boys, show the master, let Daiyu and Jue'er recognize the younger brother, and tell me the difference between the two brothers."

All the close friends inside and outside heard the words, and suddenly felt that the wife is indeed the mother, and this heart is not ordinary... After thinking about it, the girl and the young master are all born by the wife, and the master is watching him personally, how can she be worried? reason.

This is the beauty of a family without concubines and concubines.

Jia Min finally asked the maids to serve her and lie down. She ate some calming soup that she had made long ago, and said while retracting into the quilt, "Master, I will sleep for a while."

Lin Hai's voice came clearly into the room: "Leave the rest to me."

When Jia Min woke up, she found that the window was bright - she must have slept for a short day.

Lin Hai was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch not far from her at this time, even though Jia Min didn't make any movement, he turned his head with a tacit understanding, and happened to meet his wife's eyes.

"Thirsty? Hungry?"

Jia Min cleared his throat, "Thirsty and hungry."

Lin Hai hurriedly got up and told the maids to prepare the meal, and personally poured warm water for his wife and handed it to her mouth.

While his wife was drinking water, Lin Hai carried the two sons from the couch to his wife's arms, "I've been watching them for a long time," he said, stretching out his hand to untie his son's bundle, revealing two tender little shoulders, "Look, the boss has a mole on his shoulder, just like me," he said, pointing to Yao'er's shoulder, "There is no such thing."

"This is the first time we have twin brothers in our family," Jia Min was amazed when he saw it, "Interesting. Is everything else the same?"

"Yeah..." The twin sons were also very new to Lin Hai.

Jia Min laughed and said, "That's impossible. In the future, we won't be able to tell the two of them apart. Could it be that we still let the two brothers take off their shirts and bare their shoulders?"

Anyway, it was embarrassing for his son, Lin Hai thought about it seriously, and then said, "It's not impossible."

"Master is really a dear father." Jia Min greeted, "Hongwen, bring me the new box of rouge." This box of rouge is a tribute.

After a few breaths, Hong Wen stepped forward holding a hollowed-out gold-painted porcelain box, "Is this what Madam said?"

Jia Min nodded, lifted the lid, dipped some rouge on her fingertips, and put a big red dot on the forehead of the eldest of the twin sons with one finger, "It's not that simple."

Seeing this, Lin Hai couldn't help laughing, "That's a good idea! That's great!"

Ever since he learned from the doctor that both the mother and the child are safe, the corners of Lin Hai's mouth have never dropped, and he is even more delighted when talking to his wife, "No matter how much you struggle, these two little ones will sleep when they should, and they will cry together when they are hungry." ..." Even now, the two of them didn't wake up.

Jia Min laughed and said, "Noisier than you, Master?"

"I only have that kind of voice, but you remember it till now."

At this moment, the red streak has quietly retreated.

Jia Min knew that her body smelled of sweat and medicine, and the master didn't dislike her at all... But she knew it was not just because he cared about her own children.

There were no outsiders in the room, she leaned on Lin Hai's shoulder and smiled again: "Who made you always look like a worldly expert who is in control of everything."

"What kind of expert in the world?" Lin Hai smiled, "Who made more people stare at me? Even if my heart is jumping and I am worried, I have to do my best...pretend?"

Jia Min would not persuade her husband by saying "it's too hard, so it doesn't have to be like this in the future", because Lin Hai doesn't want to hear such words at all.

Sure enough, Lin Hai honestly supported his wife, and his subordinates were not idle, wrapped up his two sons, and said, "But I'm willing to do so."

Three days later, Jia Min was not allowed to show up for the two sons' funeral, so not only did Daiyu take care of all the chores, but she also had to take care of the guests.

After the banquet was over, Lin Hai praised her daughter, and then said with emotion, "Daiyu was originally impatient with ordinary affairs, so I don't know what to say about her."

As a father, Lin Hai can scold and beat his son if he wants to when he makes mistakes; but when facing his daughter, he is not only reluctant to do so, but even reluctant to say a few harsh words.

Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled: As long as our husband and wife are alive, our daughter is naturally the best.

It is by no means a good thing that "noble and free from vulgarity, not eating the fireworks of the world" has this kind of evaluation among all the decrees.

When she gave birth to brother Sui, she had already talked with her daughter several times: You can regard money as dung, and fame and fortune are all fleeting, but you have to know that you can't live without money. If your father doesn't seek fame and fortune, You... are afraid that you are not in this world.

Originally, she wanted to continue to teach her daughter: If you are really impatient with these things, you can assign the general affairs to your cronies, but before that, you have to know a thing or two yourself, and you can't let Diao Nu fool you at will.

Before she could say those words, Daiyu took her arm, "Mother, I'll listen to you." After a pause, she said proudly with a smile that sees through everything, "Mother, you have to be lazy in the future. , daughter help you."

She hit Daiyu's forehead "hardly" at that time.

When she told this "story" to her master, Lin Hai couldn't help saying with satisfaction, "This girl is spoiling us both."

He said this with his mouth, but his face had a completely different meaning.

Daiyu has a father who loves her and a mother who loves her. She is in good health and has a very solid younger brother behind her. It is a time when she is carefree, how can she be as sentimental as in her previous life?

The couple said a few words about their daughter, and Jia Min began to care about her master's business.

"How is the inquiry?"

Speaking of official business, Lin Hai suddenly became serious, "Not to mention that the whole army was wiped out, it's almost the same. No wonder the teacher asked Zhou Shixiong to study politics in Zhejiang, and it went smoothly beyond expectations."

"Because someone who knows the inside story thinks this position is a pit of fire?" Jia Min sneered, "Does Your Majesty know?"

Fraud in the examination room has never been done by one person or two with a quick brain, but if it is said that all the academic officials in Zhejiang "are not spared", it is obviously not enough-otherwise the Sun family would have covered the sky with one hand in Zhejiang and wanted to get rid of it. Get rid of the chief envoy who is an eyesore and doesn't know how to praise, and find a place where there are few pedestrians... Isn't it all but troubled?

Lin Hai nodded and said with a smile: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. The Holy Majesty knows something about it... the fur. Brother Shi, I, and Master Futai just want the Holy Majesty to know thoroughly."

"Indeed." Jia Min patted the back of her husband's hand when she heard the words, "How is it that you are so easy to deal with the minister of the dragon?" "If the Holy Majesty has not made up his mind, we can't do it for him."

"The Sun family has really passed these years." Lin Hai has a lot of meaning, and he can still speak the truth freely in front of his wife, "His Royal Highness has lost his mother's family, and he still has his wife's family."

Jia Min couldn't help clapping her hands for her husband, "Wonderful!"

Compared with the Sun's family, which is already living on its laurels, the Crown Princess's natal family is thriving.But the Rong family wanted to really stand out, and it happened that the Sun family was standing in front of them.

The Sun family saw this very clearly: without the crown prince's reliance, the Sun family could be instantly torn to pieces by the coveted families around them without the need for the Holy Spirit to intervene.

Therefore, firmly grasping the prince's heart is their most important task.Sending money to women is not a problem, and at the same time actively sharing the prince's worries, especially removing those troubles that cannot be brought to the table.

However, while the Sun family was doing things for the prince, they also did not make little plans for themselves.It is only said that the recruitment of private soldiers and the fraud in the examination room were not ordered by the prince, but in the eyes of many officials in Zhejiang, the prince at least acquiesced in this.

If the Sun family dragged the crown prince down so much, if the Holy Majesty knew all about it, he didn't need to instruct Lin Hai to deal with the Sun family. He just needed to favor the Rong family a little... The Rong family might not make the Sun family fall, but it was enough to hurt their vitality.The Sun family left sadly, the vacated seats and the remaining manpower were what the Rong family cared most about.

As for the battle between the Sun family and the Rong family, Lin Hai and the others, who were appointed by the sage, don't have to end the battle in person, but just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, just be careful not to be affected by the turbulent waves.

Jia Min thought through this, and then directly praised his master: It is not easy to report or report to the Holy Majesty, at least the Holy Majesty must listen to what you say.

Lin Hai was also a little proud, but still a little regretful, "Those academic officials who have received money must not be able to keep their future." He couldn't help but sigh, "There are also my fellow students, Brother Zhou also felt sorry for him. .”

In short, after worshiping a teacher, the teacher may not necessarily include every student who has been selected or won a Jinshi into their faction, and cultivates and supports them attentively.

But to be an official at a certain level, without a backer, not to mention difficult, it is extremely difficult.

These classmates or former classmates who have taken refuge in the master of the Sun family, Jia Min thinks... it is too wasteful to watch them go to the end without asking why, and not try to help them. Is it a last resort, or is there another secret?And what if... I can get some more merit?

So Jia Min said: "Since the master feels that he can't bear it, why don't you inquire about it again? Just now, the word 'cherish talent' has been written on your face!" After a pause, she answered another sentence, "You helped Han Qi, isn't it because you love talents?"

Lin Hai was startled, thought for a moment and got up suddenly, hugged Jia Min's shoulders tightly, and said softly, "I originally wanted to avoid suspicion. If I, Koken, tell us frankly, save some effort and don't say anything. It can be regarded as a complete classmate friendship."

It's really a word that wakes up the dreamer, Minmin is right.

Why am I more timid than before when I became the chief envoy?I can save Han Qi, but this one is easier to come by.Now should be a good opportunity for me to manage my network, do I have to completely rely on my teacher and them in the future?

Lin Hai had an epiphany, and his posture was a little different. He sat next to Jia Min, and smiled as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, your niece Yuan Chun was given a marriage by the Holy Majesty, and promised to be the second son of King Ning as his wife."

Jia Min was surprised and said: "The Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage?!" She took a deep breath, and said, "But I have to thank you once again, Empress Defei."

Lin Hai said lightly, "I took the booklet and recommended the nephew of Concubine De to come to the south of the Yangtze River to be an official."

Concubine De's nephew is the eldest son of her elder brother, and her elder brother has received the grace of the Holy One and is currently serving as a third-rank Beijing official.

But Concubine De's nephew won the second-class Jinshi when he was less than thirty, and served as county magistrate for two terms in the Northeast, with some achievements and a good official reputation.After Lin Hai inquired about it, he was willing to use his second transfer quota and asked for the person directly.

As the nephew of Concubine De, he is talented and not short of flattery. It is easy to find an official position, but it is not easy to come to Jiangnan, a place with heavy taxation: De Concubine's family can't just let a sixth- and seventh-rank position be vacant. Concubine De lost face and asked the Holy Majesty to help.

Jia Min stroked her chest when she heard the words, "It's great that there are comings and goings."

Lin Hai continued to put his arm around his wife's waist, "There is another small thing, your second sister-in-law's niece was given to the sixth prince by the concubine Xian."

Isn't my second sister-in-law's niece Baochai?Awarded to the sixth prince?

Jia Min nodded secretly: Since it is "rewarded", it means that we have to start with concubines who are of no rank or rank... But if you seek benevolence and benevolence, the result is not bad.

But in the capital thousands of miles away, Baochai saw that she was about to leave the palace and return home with a group of sisters waiting to be selected, but she waited and waited and couldn't wait to be summoned by the concubine Xian...

Then when she heard that the imperial decree had been issued, and her cousin Yuan Chun was accused of giving Ning Wang's second son as the main wife, she knew that there were not many opportunities left for her cousin to help her in the palace.

Without hesitation, she took a purse and gave it to the little palace maid who had guided her in the past, and asked her to help send a message to her cousin: She has something to say.
