The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Daiyu's belly grew bigger day by day, every time Lin Jue saw such a big ball embedded in that small body, she was startled in her heart.

He hugged Lin Yi who wanted to go to Daiyu's side, "You have such a big belly, don't keep running towards me, if there is anything wrong, ask the family members of the palace to let me know, I used to do the same the same."

Daiyu beckoned, called Lin Yi to her side, and touched Lin Yi's wet head, "This is sweating profusely, why did the nanny take care of it? Hurry up and hold it down to wipe it carefully, and find it cool."

Shi Mei hurried over to pick up Lin Yi, took the nanny away, and went down to scrub Lin Yi.

Daiyu took a closer look at Shimei, "Since Fengju married Steward Lin, she no longer served by my brother's side. Now I see that Zhushi Mei and Nonglan are all grown up, what is my brother's plan?" of?"

Lin Jue naturally knew what Daiyu meant, and said, "I've already asked the three of them what they meant. After all, I will find a good home for them after serving me."

Daiyu nodded and said, "That's very true. Our family is not the kind of master who waits to grind people."

Then I heard Lin Jue continue: "Exactly. Tingzhu in my room and Qingying have been interested in each other for a long time. I decided to make a marriage for them. When their good days come, I will put them in our yard. Two tables, it's not in vain that they joined me. Qingying is an ambitious person. She has worshiped an old shopkeeper as a master, and is now learning from her. When she and Tingzhu get married in the future, she will pick up Tingzhu and go out. As a young mistress. I have already given them the deeds, so I will only look at them in the future. Mrs. Nonglan used to be the steward of our Zhuangzi, but now the Zhuangzi in Yangzhou has changed hands, and they will follow. After leaving Beijing, they settled down in the outskirts of Beijing. Now that Nonglan is old, they begged for grace and wanted to take her home. I asked Nonglan, and Nonglan was also willing. You can go and see her later. I'm going home in a few days."

Daiyu smiled and said: "This is also a good thing. Don't tell me you will be a maid for the rest of your life. Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are also old people in the family, and their father is also kind-hearted. I'm a bit poorer, but I'm serious about being the master of my own house. Now I'm farming in the suburbs of Beijing, and I'm taking Nonglan back. I'm married to a farmer, and I'm also a regular wife with a flat head. , will never be bullied."

Lin Jue said: "That's very true. I gave her ten acres of land as a dowry, so I didn't treat her badly."

Daiyu couldn't help praising: "My brother is still considerate." She then asked Shi Mei, "She has always been the most considerate and meticulous. My brother used to rely on her to take good care of him in his daily life. It was my brother who made arrangements in the morning."

Lin Jue frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said, "How to arrange her now is somewhat difficult."

Daiyu was slightly surprised that there was something embarrassing for her brother. "I see that Shi Mei doesn't look like an ignorant person, why is my brother in such a difficult situation?"

"I have already told several maids that I have no intention of keeping them. I just treat them well every day. Now Fengju and the three are all settled, but I only serve Mei but seems to have no intentions. Ordinarily There are quite a few young men in our mansion, but there is none she can fancy, I want to help her find a country gentleman's family to be her first wife, but she is also unwilling, it really makes people wonder what to do."

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard the words. If you want to say that the four girls around her brother are all outstanding in character and color, some of the sons and daughters of the rich family don't accept them, and the one in her family is busy working in the doctor's office every day. What about the hotel, but why is my brother?

Daiyu doesn't understand the love between this man and man, but she has heard of some dignitaries willing to keep pets.But she didn't see which brother from her family or Prince Yonghe looked like a little pet.

Moreover, the king of Yonghe County has a wife and son, no matter how you look at it, it is his brother who has suffered a big loss.Although Lin Jue and Daiyu talked in detail last time, and Daiyu accepted the relationship between the two, she still had to worry about it in her heart, and wanted to find a sister-in-law for her brother.

Although Shimei is now a servant girl, Lin Jue can't marry her as a regular wife, but it doesn't prevent her from taking her into her house.Anyway, there are only two brothers and sisters in the family, and it's not that they can't afford to raise children. Naturally, the more the better.

Most women are like this. They guard against the women around their husbands day and night. When they come to my brother, they either think that Mrs. Zheng Fang is jealous, or that his brother has too few concubines. The truth is.

Lin Jue saw Daiyu's eyes and knew that she was thinking of another place, "You are my own sister, and I treat them like sisters. Although they are not as close as you, they grew up with me after all. Yes. After serving for so many years, there is no credit but hard work, and I still want to follow their wishes."

"I saw Shimei's many excuses. She just didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with my brother. Why don't my brother take her into the room..."

If I am interested in her, it doesn't matter if I tell her.It's just that I didn't intend to, why bother to implicate innocent women.Now that I have Yi'er, I just wait for you to give me a few more nieces and nieces, and then I will be consummated.

Daiyu knew it was useless to persuade him, so she didn't say anything more, but she still kept her mind on it.

After a while, Shimei came in with Lin Yi who had packed up. Daiyu still held Lin Yi in her arms with her stomach full, "My aunt's Hao Yier, I miss my aunt these days."

Lin Yixiao was late, and he was slower than ordinary children. After hearing the words and thinking carefully for a while, he replied seriously: "Yi'er misses aunt."

Seeing his appearance, Daiyu really loved him so much, "It's really sweet, I will ask my father to take it to my aunt someday, and my aunt will cook something delicious for Yi'er."

Lin Yi didn't need to think about it this time, he responded crisply, and was so happy that Daiyu looked more and more like something.

More than a month later, since the evening, there has been a sticky drizzle in the sky. After Lin Jue used dinner to digest food at home, a servant from the Xining Palace came to report that the third grandma had activated it, and the third master called for help. Uncle went over.Lin Jue knew the difficulty of childbirth for women in ancient times, so she didn't even care to change her clothes at the moment, so she hurriedly asked the servant to prepare the horse and go there.

Li Yibai wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lin Jue.Now that Xining Palace is in chaos, he has to entertain him when he goes, it is really adding to the chaos, how can he let him go.

Li Yibai had no choice but to grab him, and asked Qingsong to take a thick coir raincoat and a bamboo hat to put on Lin Jue, "It's raining today, although it's not heavy, but it's not a joke to pour it on your body. It's just started, and it's raining again." It's your first child, so you have to wait. You should wear thicker clothes. I'm afraid you'll be guarding over there tonight. Don't be cold. Xie Jinxuan is in a hurry now, and I'm afraid he can't take care of you. I know you are in a hurry, so you go first. I'll prepare the carriage and send Master Luo there together, so I can deal with it."

Lin Jue let him pack it tightly, and impatiently heard him ramble a few more words, then hurriedly urged Xie's family to leave.

When they arrived at Xining Prince's Mansion, as expected, there was no delivery yet, Xie Jinxuan was waiting outside the delivery room, his mouth full of froth.Seeing Lin Jue coming, he hurriedly pulled Lin Jue in.

"I'm in such a panic, my brother-in-law is here, and I still have some ideas."

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Isn't there still half a month left, why did it start at this time?"

"The midwife said that the month is full, first half a month and then half a month. There is nothing to say. At that time, I was helping Daiyu to digest food in the courtyard, and suddenly it rained lightly, so I hurriedly helped her back. Maybe it was because my pace was a little fast, and she said she felt uncomfortable when she came back, or Mother Fang said, "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth", so I hurriedly called the midwife, and it's been more than half an hour now, and nothing happened It's moving."

While talking, he stretched his neck to look, there was a door behind him, so he couldn't really see anything, but he still couldn't help but look.

When Lin Jue heard that it wasn't someone who provoked Daiyu and gave birth early, she was a little relieved.I don't know what's going on inside, and I panic in my heart, so I ask Mother Fang through the door panel how Daiyu is.

After a while, Nanny Fang opened the door and came out, and hurriedly closed the door again, "Don't worry, sir, the girl is very safe. The midwife said that the early care was good, and the fetal position is correct. Now it is only the first time to give birth. I will work hard, and I will have to endure it for a while. After all, this delivery room is a filthy place, and it is not easy for the uncle to enter, so the girl specially asked me to come out to pass a message to the uncle and uncle."

Hearing this, Lin Jue had a solid foundation in her mind, so she told Nanny Fang to do her own work, and she forced Xie Jinxuan, who wanted to follow in, "It's okay, let's wait, and call Master later when Master comes." Look. Let's not go in either, we'll just add to the chaos."

Xie Jinxuan began to restless on the chair again.

After a while, Master Luo also came, followed by Li Yibai who still came.Although he knew the relationship between Li Yibai and Lin Jue in his heart, Xie Jinxuan still wanted to come over to meet him. Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I don't ask him to come because I'm afraid he will cause trouble. You don't have to pay attention to him, just pretend he's not here."

Xie Jinxuan was not polite when he heard the words, he was burning his butt right now, how could he have the leisure to greet Li Yibai.

Li Yibai didn't care either, he found a chair in a corner and sat there, and he didn't know how long it would take, he was worried that Lin Jue was here by himself, he was always watching under his nose, so he was at ease.

After Master Luo came, he asked the midwife Daiyu's condition through the door, and then smiled and said to several people: "It's okay, it will be activated at this moment, and it is estimated that it will be born in the middle of the night."

Sure enough, as soon as Master Luo finished speaking, Daiyu's exclamation came from the room, and Xie Jinxuan was so frightened that he couldn't get out and slipped to the ground.

After this exclamation, as if some switch had been turned on, Daiyu's pained groans came out one after another.Outside the house, Xie Jinxuan and Lin Jue became more and more nervous. He had never experienced childbirth before, but now that his wife and sister have experienced such a thing, they just know how difficult it is.

Sure enough, just as Master Luo expected, before midnight, with Daiyu's cry of collapse, a loud baby cry followed, resounding throughout the courtyard.Lin Jue heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, Xie Jinxuan even sat down on the ground, ashamed as much as possible.But he is happy to be a father today, and he may do any embarrassing thing.

The sound of congratulations came from inside the house, and after a while, the midwife came out of the house with the little baby wrapped in a bundle, and said to Xie Jinxuan: "Congratulations to the third master, He Xi, the son, mother and child are safe."

Xie Jinxuan got up from the ground early on this matter, took the little child from the midwife's hand, and hugged it lightly in his arms.I think I have practiced many times, and the movements are very skillful.

A servant had already presented a thick red seal to the midwife, and the midwife was weighing the weight, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

As expected of the Prince's Mansion, not to mention taking me over a month earlier, this reward is also very generous, it's hard to like or dislike.

The midwife received the wedding letter, said a few auspicious words, and withdrew. There were nanny who had already prepared to carry the child down, ready to breastfeed.Li Yibai reluctantly handed the child over, and followed the nanny until he disappeared.

After a while, Nanny Fang also came out of the room. Lin Jue and Xie Jinxuan hurried over to ask how Daiyu was doing. Nanny Fang smiled and said, "Young lady is in good health, and the birth went well. It's just that there was a lot of trouble all night. Now I'm tired, I've already fallen asleep." He stopped the two people who wanted to go in, "The delivery room is not windy, and the girl is already fast asleep, let's see it tomorrow, it's not too late."

The two had no choice but to agree, because it was late at night and it was hard to go back, so they both rested in the Xining Palace.The rain did not know when it would stop. At this time, the air was slightly moist and fresh after the light rain, which was really refreshing.

The witty servant said: "When I heard the sound of the young master crying, the rain stopped. It can be seen that God cares about our young master."

Lin Jue's heart moved slightly when he heard the words, but Li Yibai was very happy. Originally, everyone in the courtyard was rewarded, and this talking woman got two extra silver coins, so many servants looked at the opportunity Good words don't cost money and jumped to Xie Jinxuan.Xie Jinxuan was very happy to give extra money, although it was not as much as the first one, but everyone had something to gain, and for a moment he felt that his young master was a lucky one, and he even made a small fortune with them.
