Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

Sister Feng's belly was almost nine months old, and she was about to give birth, so Mrs. Zhang couldn't help becoming nervous, staring at Sister Feng's belly all the time, wishing that the baby would pop out of her stomach immediately.

Seeing that, Sister Feng also became nervous, and said: "I am not the first child, you make me nervous when you see it like this."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Hey, if I give birth to this by myself, I won't be nervous if I give birth to ten or eight children, but when it comes to you, I can't hold back anymore.

All right, don't worry about me, just do whatever you need to do. "

Sister Feng couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to go with her.

Sister Qiao was also very nervous about Sister Feng's big belly. At six or seven months old, she often reached out to touch her belly, and came to talk to Sister Feng's belly when she had nothing to do.

Since Sister Feng's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Sister Qiao wished she could stay eight feet away from her.Sister Feng was so angry that she said, "Little rascal, come here, can I still eat you?"

Sister Qiao put her arms around Jia Lian's leg and said with a smile, "I'll play with my brother when he comes out. I can't do it now, I'm a little scared."

The masters were nervous, which made the servants tremble with fear, walking and talking softly, lest they frighten Sister Feng.

Sister Feng said: "It's not a big deal. Sister Shengqiao was not always good when she was a child. There's no need to do this."

Seeing that people don't listen, Sister Feng can do nothing.

On this day, Jia Lian received the imperial decree asking him to go to Yangzhou for business.Although Sister Feng was not very willing, but because of her duties, she ordered someone to pack Jia Lian's luggage.

Jia Lian was very guilty: "Your belly is so big, you may give birth someday, but I can't guard you."

Sister Feng said: "If you stay with me, can you give birth to me? It's just that you are here and I feel at ease. Now it's the same with my mother here. You just do what you want, I have my mother in everything at home." Take care, don't worry."

Jia Lian said: "The last time I gave birth to Miss Qiao, I was not at home with her. She gave birth to me and came home. This time is even better. If I go out on the front foot, you will be born on the back foot. I am really a father... ...Hey, I feel bad."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "You, this is not something you can decide, what do you do when you say such things.

Alright, hurry up and see what you're going to bring with you on business, just keep getting bored with me. "

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Look, I have no status at home, so I despise me." While talking, she went to the outer study to pack her things.

When Mrs. Zhang found out, she complained a few words: "It's not too early and not too late, so I went out just in time."

Sister Feng persuaded: "It's nothing. Could it be that I don't feel pain when he is here? Anyway, I have a mother, so I don't want him."

Mrs. Zhang spat: "Just talk nicely to coax me, that's all, it's okay if I don't talk."

But when Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, he first sent a post to Lin Ruhai outside of official business.Lin Ruhai had a fairly good impression of this wife's nephew, so he replied to the post on the same day asking him to come to the house.

The last time Jia Lian came back to Yangzhou, he was still attending a funeral, so he took sister Daiyu to Jia's mansion by the way, feeling depressed after all.This time, his mind was relaxed and brisk, and he smiled when he saw Lin Ruhai: "I haven't seen you for a long time, my nephew, please greet you."

Lin Ruhai helped him up with a smile: "Okay, okay. I heard that you have arrived in Hangzhou, so I expected to get here for a while."

Jia Lian said: "My nephew was lucky enough to be appointed by the sage, and I have long wanted to come here to greet you, but you also know that when I first came, many things were still unreasonable, and I dare not leave for a while. , so I can come to see you."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "You are considered a prodigal son. A few years ago, when your aunt talked about you, I just felt that I couldn't finish worrying about you, but now I can see that you can support the family." She said a little sadly, "That's good too. , you can rest assured when your aunt is gone."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "My nephew was ignorant in the past, but luckily it's not too late to change now."

Lin Ruhai asked a few more questions before asking about the Daiyu sisters in Jingzhong: "Are they still sensible?"

Jia Lian said: "Uncle, don't worry. Although I'm not good at seeing my sisters all the time, my wife is common. My sisters have already learned from my wife. They are said to be very smart, but they can get started with a little guidance.

Daiyu's sister is also much healthier, and she is not often sick.When I came, I saw it, and my face was rosy.

Sister Danyu is quite like an elder sister, and she is very good at taking care of her younger sister.

Uncle can feel at ease. "

Lin Ruhai listened carefully, looked closely, his eyes were slightly wet, and sighed after listening: "Thanks to you two for taking care of me, their sisters often write letters to me, and they are full of thanks.

I was depressed at that time, and I couldn't take care of it for a while. It was your father-in-law who came to wake me up.Hey, thanks to you guys. "

Jia Lian said with a smile: "There's nothing to be thankful for. They are all members of the same family. And the younger sisters are all sensible and loving, so the family naturally loves them."

Lin Ruhai knew it in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't praise them, they are children, and you don't need to praise them. In the past two years, I have seen their letters and I know that they have improved a lot. This is all thanks to you."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "My uncle said that. I'm embarrassed. Let's stop thanking you and listen to the birth."

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly and said, "I've been fooling around. Well, let's not talk about this, how long will you be here this time?"

Jia Lian said: "It's hard to say. What the sage means is to stay a little longer. I'd rather take it slow than rush it. I think so too.

Firstly, my trip was quite noisy, many people were staring at me, and many things were difficult to handle; secondly, since my uncle is here, there are still many things I want to ask you for advice, not because I am arrogant, these days I often ponder the meaning of the sage in my heart, guessing that Xu you have retreated, and I may be asked to pick up at that time.

Lin Ruhai nodded: "I'm relieved if you can understand this way. I'm afraid that you are young and energetic, and you must make a fuss."

Jia Lian said embarrassedly: "Although my nephew is young, there are elders around me who remind me. When I came, my father-in-law also had a long talk with me."

Lin Ruhai said: "Your father-in-law is a solid person, it will be good for you to listen to him more. The saint put you here is also painstaking."

Jia Lian hurriedly got up and saluted to the north: "The kindness of the saint, I will never forget it for a moment."

Lin Ruhai said again: "Your father-in-law is coming soon, and I'm afraid he will return to Beijing. Otherwise, you are all officials in Hangzhou, so someone should be in charge."

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Uncle's eyes are as bright as a torch. Someone in the court had mentioned this matter long before I came here. It's just that the sage said bluntly that he doesn't intend to let Father-in-law continue in office."

Lin Ruhai said: "I haven't heard of that. However, in this way, your daughter-in-law has suffered again. She has not been able to get close to her natal family in the past few years after she got married. She finally had this opportunity, but she couldn't stay together for long. .”

Jia Lian smiled wryly and said, "That's right. I still hide it from her now, for fear that she will be sad. I thought about it, and waited until she gave birth. At that time, a child would involve her, and she couldn't think about anything else." .”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "I never thought that the old swinger would now learn to be considerate of his family, great kindness."

Jia Lian said embarrassingly: "My uncle is like this, I am ashamed to death. I was ignorant in the early years, but now I think about it, I regret it."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand: "You didn't have anyone to guide you at that time, but now I think it's fine. It stands to reason that you have elders in the church, I shouldn't say it, but I always remember your care of my two daughters in my heart, so Speak more."

Jia Lian hurriedly got up and bowed: "Uncle, please say yes, don't I even know good from bad?"

Lin Ruhai motioned him to sit down, and said: "You lost your mother since you were young, and your father didn't take care of you much. You grew up with your old lady. It's inevitable that the old man will spoil his children, and you really don't want to learn, so you have a future." all kinds.

It’s just that I want to tell you that you are soft-hearted and easily swayed by others. What affects you now is only for your own good, so you can get rid of your old habits.If one day, you meet someone who seduces you to have fun again, I am afraid that you will also be shaken.

This is a big taboo, how do you know if what you meet is a human or a ghost?Don't pin your hopes on others, you have to be firm yourself. "

Jia Lian bowed politely and said, "Yes, my nephew is in charge. Thank you uncle for teaching me, I will remember it."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and smiled again: "You said your wife is going to give birth? Do boys and girls know?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "The doctor who asked for the pulse said it was a boy, but it's fine if it's a girl. It's a bit lonely to only have sister Qiao."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "You are considered to have both sons and daughters."

Jia Lian laughed like a kid: "I always feel that I haven't done enough, and I wish I could accumulate more for them."

Lin Ruhai thought for a moment that he was like this when he first became a father. He always wanted to leave the best things in this world to his children, watch her grow up, and watch her marry and have children.It's just that I didn't expect that good fortune would trick people, and I couldn't stay with the child after all. Thinking about it this way, I felt a little sad.

Seeing Lin Ruhai in a daze, Jia Lian guessed that he might miss his daughter again, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry about the two younger sisters all the time, maybe you'll be returning to Beijing soon, and it will be nice to bring the younger sister with you when the time comes." Family fun."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "I had no intention of marrying again that day, so I sent them to Beijing and entrusted them to your old lady. Now that I return to Beijing, I can see each other often."

Jia Lian said: "You don't know, the two younger sisters are very well-managed as housekeepers now, and they may even control you by then."

Lin Ruhai thought about that scene for a while, and laughed loudly: "If that's the case, my life is not wasted."

Jia Lian talked for a long time at Lin Ruhai's house, and then had dinner with Lin Ruhai, and did not leave until it was dark.

Lin Ruhai couldn't stay, so he had to order him to come and see him often.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will come here often. I still have many things to ask you for advice, and I'm afraid you will still be annoying."

Riding all the way back to the post house, Wang'er had already prepared hot water, Jia Lian washed up and fell asleep, and had nothing to say all night.
