Zhen Fei rises up in the Red Chamber

The two children Zhenhui and Lin Hai communicated very happily, and even made an appointment. In the next sepak takraw competition, both Lin Xun and Zhenhui will join Lin Hai's team. This is a very important thing for children. Mr. Zhen talked happily. As two intellectuals and two fathers, whether it is poetry or books or children's education, they can find common topics, and Mrs. Lin in the inner house, let alone Mrs. Lin, is hugging her now. Twins, no matter how you look at it, it's not enough, I wish these two children came out of my stomach.

"Look at this little face, how cute and chubby, it looks like a strong child."

For the Lin family, who are genetically unreliable and always produce thin and thin children, fat children are simply unattainable. Now I see two of them at once, and they still look exactly the same. This eyeball It's almost protruding.Mrs. Lin's hand never let go of the two children's body, she was touching the little face, or scratching the little hand, the envy and longing in her eyes could not be concealed.

Mrs. Zhen didn't mind Mrs. Lin's appearance at all. To be honest, she used to be in the same shape. She was from a family with difficult children. Who doesn't know who?

"It's strange to say, my eldest son, at that time, he was more than two years old, and he was still breastfeeding, but his body was not so strong, but these two children, who are only nine months old now, are already Mixed with rice paste, cow's milk, and goat's milk, eating this kind of mixture makes the body look better. For this, I asked a lot of people, but everyone is accurate, I just heard people say It is said that the more mixed the food, the stronger the child's body will be."

As soon as Mrs. Zhen talked about raising children, even Mrs. Lin couldn't help but concentrate. Hearing Mrs. Zhen's words, she couldn't help but also complain:

"That is to say, my brother Hai was breastfed until he was three years old, and his body is still not good enough. If you say that, doesn't it mean that it is not a good thing to eat too much milk?"

Having said that, Mrs. Lin couldn't help frowning, biting her lower lip, with a look of annoyance:

"If this is the case, we, as parents, have missed our children. In the past, we just wanted to raise them carefully and carefully, and didn't dare to change them at will. Now that we think about it, we made a mistake. We got your letter first, and we also gave it to Hai. My brother ate some milk and goat's milk, although it is a bit fishy, ​​but it is very useful, the child sleeps soundly every day, and now he often plays takraw with others, the activities are open, and he eats more When I got up, my body grew a lot of flesh, and I saw that the whole person's energy was better than that of previous winters, and the symptoms that often occurred during the spring were not very good. It can be seen that these are indeed useful."

The more we talk about the later, the more smiles on Mrs. Lin's face, but the more annoyed she is, it can be seen that she is thinking about it, and did not use this method earlier, so that the child has suffered for so many years. Mrs. Zhen didn't understand Mrs. Lin's thoughts, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her:

"Like us, with generations of weak heirs, every child is an eyeball. If you put it in your mouth, you are afraid it will melt, and if you hold it in your hand, you are afraid it will fall. You can't wait to give the child everything that is good, even if the child leaves. I was worried about being tired after walking a few steps, isn’t it always the case. If my elder brother hadn’t asked this time why other people’s children could run and dance but others couldn’t, we wouldn’t have thought so much, and we wouldn’t have gone Look at the situation of the children of those poor families. You really don’t know what I was thinking at that time. Looking at the children of those tenant families, they ate coarse grains. It was rare to see meat, and they had to help with the work every day. Digging out the bird's nest from the tree, going down the river to touch the fish, but even so, no matter how thin the children are, none of them are sick or suffering. It really feels like... how our children have become paper. It's over."

Mrs. Zhen took Mrs. Lin's hand, and the look in her eyes when she was talking about this was exactly the same as that of Mrs. Lin's, that was regret, that anger.

"It's because my master went to ask some old people who have accumulated a lot of time, and then he got a saying, saying that a child who is raised rough is stronger, and a brat is more clever, so he emboldened himself, and let the child make troubles on his own. But that's it, I don't know how much I have worried, the time that child fell off the rockery, it almost killed me, and it is precisely because of this that I feel sorry for my two treasures, it hurts me They were born prematurely, but it is not without benefits. Now my son is more and more lively, playing ball is not counted, horseback riding, archery, boxing, and even tinkering, saying that he wants to grow flowers by himself. It's been almost a year, and I don't have any symptoms. I don't know how much better than in previous years. Even if I came here by boat, I never felt uncomfortable. If it was in the past, I would have to lie on the bed It took a few days. It can be seen that although parents can't bear it and are worried, but let go, the child can really grow longer and healthier. It is these two little ones who have listened to the old man's words and raised them extensively. Some, some other food, and some more meat."

Mrs. Zhen shared her child-rearing experience with Mrs. Lin very neatly, and also talked about her own mental journey of letting go of her child, and she easily got Mrs. Lin's approval.

"Isn't it just worrying about it? My Hai'er didn't make much trouble when she was young. When she was playing ball the first day, she fell three times in a daze. My heart ached and tears came out. Who knew that this child didn't care much?" I got up by myself, and continued to toss and toss. I couldn't help but want to hold him, but the master was cruel, and he held me in a daze. He didn't let me care, saying that the other children were there, so it was too difficult to do. However, let the child be laughed at, so I persisted, and now I can see the results, so I am relieved."

Those who listened to them all wanted to laugh. These two wives were not talking on the same frequency. They were able to pick and answer the words they wanted to hear, which was really high-level.The two wives don't care what other people think, and only they know in their hearts what these complaints are for. For Mrs. Lin, most of the people in the capital who can communicate with their family are the children of military generals. Those sturdy ones are all like little tigers, what can she complain about?Saying that one's own children are not in good health, isn't that discrediting oneself? For the rest of the literati, even if there are children who are weak, they have more children than theirs, so what can they say?I looked so jealous.It's rare to meet a family like theirs now, if you don't vomit bitterness to them, who can you tell?Facing the Zhen family, she didn't worry about offending anyone, who made the Zhen family worse than the Lin family, and the level advantage didn't mean that it didn't exist.Literati are more aware of rank.

As for Mrs. Zhen, as long as she can strike up a conversation with Mrs. Lin, she won't be able to say something that Mrs. Lin doesn't like. She doesn't know anyone in this capital, and there are very few people who can talk to her. .After coming for so long, they were almost suffocated, so this made the two women talk to themselves.If I really want to give them an evaluation, I can only say one thing: Who can understand their loneliness!

Just when the two wives were holding hands and making complaints, someone was not willing to be the background. In the bulging package, Zhen Ji grinned toothlessly and rolled her eyes Then she giggled loudly, and when she attracted the two wives to look over, she suddenly shouted to Mrs. Zhen:

"mom..."

Mrs. Zhen was shocked, really shocked, because this was the first time the child Zhen Ji spoke, and she still called her, so straightforwardly, just looked at her like this, as if he really knew who she was, and knew their mother and child. The blood is average, how can this not surprise her, it's only nine months old, this child can already speak!

"God, my Jill, my Jill can talk! Gosh, he's only nine months. Oh, mother's sweetheart!"

After Mrs. Zhen came to her senses, she hugged Zhen Ji, fiercely kissed the child's tender face several times, then laughed out loud, and turned to Mrs. Lin and said:

"I lost my composure. His elder brother can only speak at the age of one year and three months. I don't think this kid is clever. He made such a head start and let the master know. I'm afraid he will pass away happily."

Mrs. Zhen is really very happy. At this time, even her master can be regarded as the object of jokes. It's no wonder she, who makes this year, the morning and evening of talking generally correspond to the child's intelligence level. This child Speaking so early does not mean that this child is definitely a smart baby, and he is still in someone else's house, in front of others, this is a big long face.

Mrs. Lin on the other side was also unambiguous. When Mrs. Zhen apologized to her, she showed a big smile in a decent manner, and while beckoning people to go to the front to tell the happy event to the two masters, Touching Zhen Ji's small face, he praised:

"Sure enough, he is an auspicious child with auspicious dragons and phoenixes. He spoke so early. It can be seen that this child is a blessing from God to your family. I am jealous. Such a rare child, why does my Lin family not have one? .If I had a daughter, I would have to snatch the child over and become my son-in-law."

This was a compliment and a joke at the same time, which made Mrs. Zhen even more happy, and couldn't help but also laughed, jokingly said:

"I take this seriously. My children can talk when they are guests in your home. It can be seen that your home is also a blessed place. With such a blessed place, and a family like yours who have accumulated good deeds, how can God treat you badly? Maybe I will send you off again." I will give you a child, and when the time comes, you will have a daughter, so don't be reluctant."

Although it is talking about giving away a daughter, it is not an ordinary family, no, it is the son everyone desires, but it is still so pleasant to Mrs. Lin's ears. In the case that the Lin family is always single-handed, even if it is an extra daughter , that is definitely a great joy.Not to mention that Mrs. Zhen also said that their house is a blessed place and a family of good deeds. Exemplary.

So after hearing such words, Mrs. Lin became closer to Mrs. Zhen. It wasn't that she had soft ears and beamed with joy when she heard good words, but because Mrs. Zhen said it by coincidence. It really happened to be here at the Lin family, which is definitely the ironclad proof of Mrs. Zhen's words.

"You can talk, but I just said it, but you got stuck with it. If you really borrowed your good words and got a daughter, wouldn't it be a gift for your family!"

This is already a joke that only close girlfriends would say. From this, it can be seen that when Mrs. Zhen is with Mrs. Lin, it is definitely because the intimacy has risen to a certain level. When they looked at Mrs. Zhen, they couldn't help showing a bit of surprise and caution. For their own wife to speak like this, it can be seen that their attitude towards Mrs. Zhen will be more serious in the future.

Mrs. Zhen is not a fool, so she can hear the weight of these words. She is not someone who can't stand things. Climbing up the pole, he said smoothly:

"Well, I'm at a disadvantage, let's put it this way, if God blesses you and you have a son, then I will give you my precious girl as a wife, and it will be done. Look , if you say that, I will raise a daughter for you, ouch, my dear, mother has suffered a great loss."

Saying that, Mrs. Zhen put down Zhen Ji in her hand, and hugged Zhen Xing, who was still drooling and giggling, with her fingers in her hands. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help turning her head to look at the girl With one glance, the brows and eyes suddenly smiled:

"Well, God bless, if I have another boy, I will get your girl back as a wife, no, even now, my brother Hai is not engaged yet, even if the age difference is bigger , but it's not impossible, look at this little face, how painful and handsome it is."

What Mrs. Lin said was a joke for a sensible person. Not to mention the current status of the Lin family and the Zhen family, even the ages of these two children are definitely not suitable for each other. Children of this age Usually they get engaged on the 15th and 16th, and get married on the [-]th and [-]th. If Lin Hai is really allowed to marry Zhen Xing, and when Zhen Xing is [-] years old and can get married, wouldn't Lin Hai be [-]?With the few descendants of the Lin family, how could they wait?As long as there is no accident, if Lin Hai is not [-] years old, the people of the Lin family will be eager to let him marry, just to spread the branches and leaves earlier and let the Lin family heirs succeed.

From this point of view, whether it is Mrs. Lin or Mrs. Zhen, talking about the child's marriage is definitely just showing the close relationship between the two families. Of course, if Mrs. Lin really gave birth to a second child If there is a son, then it is possible to marry the daughter of the Zhen family. After all, the second son and the eldest son are different, and the choice of wife must be worse than the eldest son. Second, after all, the two families They are all civil servants, and Mr. Zhen was born as a Jinshi. After ten years, as long as he is not too bad, he can still have a fourth- and fifth-rank official position. It is not impossible for the daughter of a fourth-rank official to marry the second son of the Hou family. .After all, whoever let the Lin family reach the next generation will lose this title.

The two wives were happy talking, of course the children didn't know what these adults were talking about, no matter it was Zhen Ji who opened his mouth just now and attracted everyone's surprise, or Zhen Xing who was still ignorant and ignorant, they were all acting stupidly Seeing the two adults talking and laughing, I don't know whether it is the adult's smile that affects them, or whether the adult's expression is very funny, the two children also laughed, and the childish laughter joined the adult's laughter, Let this room look more and more lively.

In the outer courtyard, Master Zhen is also smiling happily from ear to ear, enjoying Master Lin’s congratulations. Not every child can have such a long face. Although he is not a child who is astonishing and genius-like when he is nine months old. In ordinary people's families, they definitely belong to the precocious category, so why can't he be unhappy.

"You are very happy. The eldest son is so smart, and the youngest son is so competitive. I am really envious of others. But speaking of it, you are blessed with future blessings. You and I are the same. Only when we are thirty can we have children. Joy around the knee, but you have three of them here, and in my family, this single pass is like a curse, so far I haven't had one more son and a half, which makes people feel depressed."

Seeing Master Zhen's joy, Master Lin couldn't help but began to complain, he can't afford to be hurt by a single passer, he is almost forty, and his son is only six years old. Very few, if calculated like this, when he died, wouldn't it mean that his son was only sixteen or seventeen years old?If so, is he destined to see his grandson born?If he didn't see his grandson, how could he be willing!Of course, if there is no grandson, he will be happy to give him more sons. As long as there are more sons, then he doesn't have to worry about grandchildren, right?It's a pity that this is beyond his control. For so many years, except for Lin Hai, none of them ran out, not even a girl. How could this not make him sigh.

Especially when he saw that the Zhen family, who had been alone for several generations like him, now had two sons, envy, jealousy and hatred were not enough to explain his mood.So these words really contain a strong sour taste.

Mr. Zhen is a kind person. Hearing what Mr. Lin said, he quickly restrained his smile, which was already reaching his ears, and then leaned over his head, and began to give instructions in Mr. Lin's ear, perhaps it should be called biting his ears.The content of what he said is also very real, that is, his maintenance secrets for these years. Of course, these maintenance secrets are definitely comforting in Master Zhen's opinion, because this is the maintenance that Zhen Hui prepared after he was preparing to take the imperial examination. He doesn't think that medicinal food has any effect on giving birth to a child. It can make Master Lin feel better. As for telling him now, it is mostly a consolation prize. He wants to make Master Lin more confident. In other words, it was used to close the relationship, anyway, whether it will be born or not is not something he can guarantee, right?

As for Mr. Lin, he didn't expect the so-called secret books to be of any use. Over the years, the Lin family had taken so many so-called secret medicines and seen so many doctors for the children's problems, isn't that the case?Only Lin Hai got it after praying to countless Bodhisattvas.It's just that someone kindly told him, and he was naturally willing to listen. Anyway, it's his kindness, right? Besides, looking at Master Zhen's current physical condition, he knows that this so-called medicinal diet is not useless at all. Yes, at least he can survive the half-death test in February, which is enough to see the usefulness of these medicinal recipes. After eating, his health will be better, so that he can insist on seeing his grandson. It is also his biggest expectation now.

With such a well-known, or in other words, each with their own ideas, Master Zhen's medicinal recipe successfully entered the Lin family's kitchen. As for the consequences?Let’s talk about that later, anyway, I don’t know at the moment, what I can know at the moment is that Lin Hai and Zhen Hui have already known the actions of that boy Zhen Ji, and the two children have put down other actions at the moment ready to rush to the backyard, ready to tease the children to talk,

"What did you just say?"

This was the original intention of their trip. Dumiao Miao Linhai had never seen the scene when the child first spoke. He was full of curiosity, blinking his big eyes, and asked Zhen Hui, who seemed to him to know everything. Unfortunately, this matter is really true. I can't explain clearly, I can't describe it, so let Zhen Hui learn it again?He doesn't have this ability, so he can only give another plan:

"Go and see if you know? I don't know if this kid can be called brother. I teach him every day. I don't know how much it took me."

Thinking of this, Zhen Hui himself became curious, but he could feel it. This Zhen Ji, this younger brother, is the original body of this body. Although it seems that he has no memory, he is still a reborn person after all, and he is more sensible than ordinary children. , Talking and walking earlier seems to belong to the inevitable category. In this case, it should be relatively easy for him to call brother or something.

However, the trip to the backyard that the two half-year-old children were looking forward to did not take place, because the Lin family had a visitor, and they came directly to the door without any warning. Is this considered uninvited?Which one will be able to do this?

With deep doubts, the two children were led to the outer courtyard. Yes, the outer courtyard. They were also among the candidates for the reception. Naturally, they were going out to entertain guests. Zhen Hui was used to this. In his opinion , The children of this era are also very sad, because they are all designated personnel who need to pick up customers. It seems that it is impolite to come out without children. Who knows the mood of the children!It's so boring to pick up customers!
