Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 175
The 47th year of Kangxi was destined to be an eventful year. In just a few months, the prince was abolished, the eighth elder brother was deposed, and the eldest elder brother was imprisoned. The whole capital was filled with a gloomy and melancholy atmosphere. The sellers, the picky and the burdensome, sighed a few times when they had nothing to do, and the passers-by also gathered in groups of three or five to talk about the changes in the past few months.

The country was in turmoil in the previous dynasty, and the officials and common people were in panic. Everyone's life was in a cloud, and they didn't know what the emperor was thinking. It seemed that they were all worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty, but in fact they were nothing more. It's your own day.

Just when everyone in the capital was in such panic, there was one family who was living a more secure life than anyone else, and that was Lin Ruhai's family.

The rich merchants in Jiangnan, headed by the Zhen family, bought murderers to assassinate Lin Ruhai. They never expected that Lin Ruhai would be saved by the elixir in Xue Hong's space under the repeated pursuit of Jianghu masters. Emperor Kangxi sent a secret envoy to visit Lin Ruhai at night. Knowing the details, he was promoted to Lin Ruhai's official soon after. Knowing that Lin Ruhai was repairing his ancestral house, he sent a craftsman appointed by the imperial court to repair the house for his family.

Lord Kangxi valued Lin Ruhai very much, and this time he was assassinated, a large part of the reason was that he blindly doted on Concubine Zhen, which made the Zhen family too domineering and arrogant in the Jiangnan area. Ashamed.

This time, Lord Kangxi paid a lot of money to repair the house for the Lin family.

In fact, when the royal craftsmen came to the Lin family's house, the work of repairing the house was about to enter the finishing process.That's because whether it's Jia Min himself, or Mrs. Wang who doesn't want the Lin family to continue living in Rongguo Mansion, they have already spent a lot of money on the previously hired craftsmen, asking them to speed up the construction period.

Now, the craftsmen of the imperial court came with the emperor's orders. Seeing that Lin Ruhai just repaired the five-entry house left by his family before, at most he added some furniture and decorations. They all said that the Lin family was too honest and could Appreciated by Lord Kangxi, he personally ordered the building of the house. How can he still live in such a featureless house?
In fact, as a person from Jiangnan, how could Lin Ruhai not pay attention to his house?It's just that the time is tight, and the design of the ancestral house is generous and decent, and he didn't specially modify it.

For this reason, Lord Kangxi specially hired the royal house designer to embody the beauty of details on the basis of the original Lin family's ancestral house. The door face, screen wall, eaves, flying rafters, ridges, piles...everywhere that can be carved is covered with There are exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings.

The themes of these carvings are also mostly auspicious, including birds and beasts, exotic flowers and herbs, and even auspicious patterns such as blessings, wealth, longevity and happiness.

The layout of the Lin family's ancestral house has not been greatly changed, but an elegant back garden has been rebuilt in the back area.

At the back of the house, there is a moon cave door with a plaque that reads "Quietness Zhiyuan". After passing through this moon cave door, what you see is a suddenly bright wall.How can the wall be so translucent? It turns out that there are six hexagonal flower windows on the wall. Through the flower windows, you can vaguely see the pools and water towers in the garden, giving people a sense of endless depth of field.

And the scenery hidden behind the flower window is even more unique. You enter a clean open pavilion facing the water. There is a tall and verdant green maple tree in the west. The sun shines through the dense canopy, casting a mottled tree on the pavilion. Shadow, on the wall facing the pool is a row of exquisitely carved wooden windows, where the owner sits or sits firmly, or overlooks, whether it is to enjoy the lotus pond in summer or the frost and snow in winter, this is the best view. Scenic spot.

There are verandahs on the left and right of this pavilion, winding around a pool of clear water. On the left is a waterside pavilion, on the right is a water-cut mountain house, and within three or five steps there are one or two pavilions with different styles. Very elegant.

Lin Ruhai loved rocks, so Lord Kangxi ordered people to move many rockery and strange rocks into the garden.The rockery is undulating and tortuous, which makes the bank of the pool steep and colorful, the ancient trees and stone peaks on it are more majestic, and the paths and streams in between are more remote.

There are all kinds of flowers in the garden, not to mention peaches, plums, plums, apricots, tea peonies, etc. There are also many banana trees, pines and cypresses, which can be described as peaches and plums in spring, lotus in summer, golden osmanthus in autumn, pine and plum in winter, all year round. The scenery is packed into this one garden.

When Lin Ruhai's family came to see the house, don't mention how satisfied they were. Daiyu even moved away from a pavilion near the water in the yard as her study. All the recreational things have been moved here, and I only regard this secluded place as my future place to entertain guests. I think several sisters will like it here.

Lin Ruhai also entered the palace in person to thank the emperor for his kindness. The inside and outside of the house were decorated again, and an auspicious day was chosen. After bathing, burning incense, and praying, the gate of the house was opened, and the whole family moved in.

Before the Lin family had time to invite the housewarming party, Jia Min's water broke on the third night after moving into the new house, and the baby was about to be born.

Lin Ruhai was so anxious that she was running around in a room full of Wen Po and maids. Ye Siyang was also detained in the Lin Mansion. Jia Min had been in pain for several hours, but there was still no sign of labor.

"What's going on? Is it dystocia?"

Mrs. Xue Wang was here today to give Jia Min some elegant decorations. Unexpectedly, she encountered Jia Min giving birth. Baochai accompanied her mother to experience Li Wan's giving birth. Unexpectedly, Jia Min spent longer here.

Ye Siyang shook his head: "It's not yet time. Mrs. Lin's body was too weak before, and this child is several years away from the eldest girl, so I'm afraid it will take the same time as the first child. I just asked Hong Er Grandpa went to my medical clinic to help me get the medicine, I don’t know if he has come or not.”

In fact, Ye Siyang was confused about Jia Min's situation and wanted Xue Hong to take charge, so he made up a reason to get some newly made medicine. There was no medicine name on the medicine bottle, except for Xue Hong. People who have read the special pharmacopoeia know Balabala but ordinary people don't know it. This is actually to deceive others.

Jia Min's situation is different from Li Wan's.Li Wan opened the mouth of the uterus, the child's head was up, and the feet were down. At that time, Xue Hong let herself use her internal force to force the child in the stomach and turn it around, and it was not long before the child was born smoothly.

But this time, Jia Min's baby was in an upright position, her head was already at the bottom of the pelvis, but her cervix refused to open.The women in the delivery room were more and more anxious. They all said that if this continues, the baby in the stomach is likely to be suffocated to death, and Jia Min's life will also be in danger. What should I do?
