[Red House] But for the sake of the king

The New Year has been lively and lively, Lin Ruhai may not have been to another hospital for a long time.Firstly, it was the last time they broke up unhappy, and secondly, it was really busy in the first month of the lunar year.Although there are not many relatives in the Lin family, but with the addition of Lin Ruhai's close friends and Tang's concubines who have close acquaintances, this year's wine was full and the queue was full for a month.

According to the custom, the second day is the day when a married woman returns to her natal home with her husband.Jia Min tidied up early in the morning, and changed into a golden white butterfly wearing a narrow red foreign satin jacket with flowers, a multicolored silk engraved stone green and silver mouse jacket, and a jadeite and flowery crepe silver mouse skin skirt.A peony bun is tied, a pair of white jade double happiness hairpins are inserted, and a red gold inlaid treasure phoenix tail is waving.There is a pair of emerald earrings on the ears, and the rest are stuffed with rice grain-sized Dongzhu earplugs.Because it was the first lunar month, Lin Ruhai also dressed quite festively.A dark red embroidered satin long padded gown, covered with a mink fur waistcoat, looks even more radiant and handsome.The husband and wife stand together, they are both talented and beautiful, which makes people envious.In particular, Jia Min was holding a fat doll in a red jacket and a tiger-head hat in his hand, which looked like it came out of a New Year painting.

The husband and wife kowtowed to Jia's mother for the new year together with the child in their arms, and Lin Ruhai withdrew and went to the man in front.Jia Min hugged her daughter and talked with her mother, and she couldn't stop talking proudly.After so many years, she finally took the child back to her natal home.When I greeted her two sisters-in-law with the baby just now, the eldest sister-in-law looked uneasy, and the second sister-in-law was not necessarily very happy, but they still had to pretend to be happy, said a few auspicious words, and sent the child to custody. Year old Kaizi.In previous years, she was the only one who accepted kowtow from a few nieces and nieces.

Jiamu was happy for a while, and ordered someone to find two good things from her private storehouse for Daiyu, saying that she would keep them and play with them when she grew up.The Xing family and the Wang family were somewhat displeased. There were two in the big room and three in the second room. Besides Baoyu, who else got anything more.Especially Wang's, her precious jade was born with jade in her head, so she is naturally different from others.But now this little girl who is less than one year old is almost catching up with her Baoyu.Ever since she entered Jia's house, she knew how much her mother-in-law loved her little daughter.It's so easy to wait for her to get married, thinking that the water splashed by the married daughter can't be compared to before.Who knows that her mother-in-law still misses her every day, and sends some gadgets and supplements over from time to time.If it weren't for Jia Min's mother-in-law suppressing her, she might have to ask her to come back and stay for a while.

After saying a few words, Xing and Wang resigned.Xing's natal family is not in the capital, and Wang's parents are long gone, so there is no need to go back to her natal home.It's just that they don't want to stay with my sister-in-law here, and no one treats them anyway.

Mother Jia asked the nanny to carry Daiyu down to nurse her, and here she asked Jia Min to talk about herself.

Jia Mu leaned on the kang leaning on the pillow, "I see that your complexion has improved a lot recently, and you are all well."

Jia Min sat aside, picked up the ashes in the hand stove with a small copper fire chopstick, and replied with a smile, "I've been fine for a long time. The imperial doctor said that I should take care of it every day and don't get tired. Fortunately, Daiyu has her mother-in-law with her now." , even though I was allowed to take care of the house again, there is not much to do after all, it will be fine after I have been busy for a while."

Jia Mu said, "Now my uncle, can you go back to the inner courtyard?"

Jia Min had a fever on his face, and said in a low voice, "I moved back early. I don't know if it's because of my daughter, but I see that there are a lot more posts than before. There are fewer aunts going there, only Su There are a few more times at Auntie's place, which is about the same as before."

Mother Jia took out a piece of paper from under the pillow and handed it to Jia Min, "Keep this prescription away. Nanny Lai found it from the countryside. It is said to be the most effective. A daughter-in-law of a family ate this and three Two big fat boys have been added in just one year."

Jia Min quickly put it in her arms, full of anticipation in her heart.He also remembered that his second elder brother Jia Zheng's eldest son, Jia Zhu, was going to marry soon, so he brought up the matter, "Next year is the year of the Grand Competition, why is Zhu'er in such a hurry to get married at this time?"

Mother Jia replied, "I also said that Double Happiness is the best, but your second sister-in-law is a little anxious. I found a fortune-teller and let it go. He said that it is better to be late than early. The eighteenth day of the first month is the best in the past three years." Therefore, I chose this day. Anyway, the Li family has already made a decision, and it is nothing if it is a year or so earlier."

Jia Min nodded in agreement, and asked about the marriage in detail, without repeating it.

Lin Ruhai chatted with Jia She and Jia Zheng in the study outside the front, accompanied by several juniors.Jia Lian has been running diligently to Lin's mansion for the past six months, and now he respects Lin Ruhai without fear, and his speech and demeanor are more straightforward than Jia Zhu's.Moreover, Jia Lian has improved a lot after learning from those Qingkes for so long, even if he only listens to their words.Although it will not be able to export into a sentence, it is still easy to draw two lines of poems.This made him gain a lot of face in the circle of disciples in the capital, saying that the second master Lian has now changed his ways and returned to the right, and he will go to the No. [-] Scholar Examination next year.

Jia Amnesty was still indifferent about this, but Jia Zheng regretted it a little.If he took Zhu'er to go together that day, not to mention worshiping Lin Ruhai as his teacher, it would have benefited a lot from the advice of the Qing guests of the Lin family like Jia Lian.After all, there are quite a few people in that group who are admitted to Jinshi but don't want to be an official. They are really economical and well-read scholars.

Jia Zheng winked and asked Jia Zhu to come forward, and said to Lin Ruhai with a smile, "Sister-in-law is a great talent, and we are really beyond our reach. Just look at Lian'er's progress this year, and you will know a thing or two. Zhu'er next year I also want to take the imperial examination, but unfortunately that gentleman resigned from the Xibin position and returned to his hometown. Although I always like poetry and prose, I am not as rich as my sister-in-law. Therefore, I wonder if my sister-in-law can give me some advice. If my sister-in-law is busy with business, Even being able to recommend a gentleman is his blessing."

It was not easy for Jia Zheng to say these words. He was always a bit arrogant and refused to bow his head easily.Even in the ministry, after thinking that he is the Duke of the state, he is usually not as close as they are, and he even disdains to flatter his superiors.Therefore, in the past few years, he is still only a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang.It's just that he has high hopes for Jia Zhu, and he has never experienced the imperial examination, so it seems that he still asks Lin Ruhai for help.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said, "I am really ashamed to be praised by my brother-in-law. Although I am not talented, there are a few clean people under my door, who are quite talented. It's just that they have weird temperaments, and they don't want to be Mr. Xixi. If Zhu If you're interested, it's okay to go to them with Lian'er for advice in your free time. I've read Zhu'er's poems and essays once or twice, and they are very good. I think those old scholars are willing to give pointers, unlike Lian'er. Son, it's just a piece of rotten wood."

When Jia Lian heard about herself, she hurriedly smiled, "Look at what uncle said, isn't my nephew young and ignorant, which is why he made a lot of jokes. Years ago, Mr. Gu praised his nephew for his progress."

Lin Ruhai scolded with a smile, "You rascal, people are being polite, you really thought they were complimenting you. You're serious about learning from Zhu'er, and it's fifteen after the new year, so you should be more prudent."

Jia Zhu took two steps forward under Jia Zheng's suggestion, and made a bow, "Thank you uncle for the compliment, my nephew must study hard and cultivate himself."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and sighed in his heart that he is really an outstanding person, "Although you have to study hard, you must also remember not to overdo it. Although the township examination is not like the general examination, which takes three days in a row, it is also quite energy-intensive. It is the best policy to accumulate energy .”

Jia Zhu devoted himself to being taught, but he will still be diligent and tireless in his studies in the future, which is a later story.

After the fifth day, Lin Ruhai went to the Yamen as usual, but there was still a lot of New Year's wine.Tang took Jia Min from one house to another every day like rushing to the market, which has already pushed a lot.Tang's dodging, taking advantage of taking care of Daiyu, let Jia Min go to the banquet alone except for a few close ones.

It's just that within a few days, Jia Min was a little tired and flustered, and her menstrual period was a few days late, sometimes a little bit.Jia Min thought that the previous irregular menstruation had happened again, so he invited the familiar doctor Wang, who was often invited by Jia's family, to see it.

Imperial physician Wang cut off the pulse through a silk handkerchief, smiled and congratulated Xi, "Congratulations madam, Mrs. He Xi, this is the pulse of Xi, it has been more than a month."

When Jia Min heard that it was the pulse of joy, she sat up in surprise, scaring Shiliu to help her up.

"Doctor Wang, are you sure?"

Physician Wang replied, "I can't be more sure, this happy pulse can't be wrong. It's just that my wife gave birth last time, and she hurt her foundation. This time, she should take good care of her. Remember to be very happy and compassionate. You should also be more careful about eating, Those cold things should not be eaten."

Jia Min nodded again and again, then lay down slowly, stroking her lower abdomen with one hand. "Xing'er, wrap a high-quality red envelope for Doctor Wang, Lian'er, report to the old lady quickly."

Physician Wang resigned after thanking him, wrote a prescription and ordered people to follow it.

When Tang got the news, he kept chanting the Buddha's name, saying that it was the blessing of his ancestors.For a while, I asked what the imperial physician said, whether it was important to be so busy during the New Year's Day.Lian'er said a few words, Tang felt something was not right after hearing that, so she sent someone to see if Doctor Wang had gone out, and if she was still there, she asked someone to come over.

Tang only kept the eldest girl close to her by her side, holding the rosary in her hand, "Physician Wang, is my daughter-in-law's pregnancy safe?"

Doctor Wang wanted to talk to Mrs. Lin because of this, but she didn't want Mrs. Lin to ask first, so she told the truth. "Old Madam Jun Mingjian, Mrs. Lin's previous birth hurt her roots, and she didn't take care of it properly during the confinement period, so this pregnancy is showing some signs of instability. The late birth has just prescribed a prescription for confinement. Drinking. If you want to have a good rest, it would be better if you can not get out of bed. If these two months pass, you will be safe in the future."

Tang was worried, so she asked Chun Yu to ask a woman to lure Wang Taiyi out, and asked Xia Lu to seal him two ten taels of silver ingots.For a while, he called Jia Min's two big girls, Lian'er and Xing'er, and told them carefully, and told him to keep it from Jia Min.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening and heard that Jia Min was pregnant, he was naturally overjoyed.After hearing what Wang Tai-doctor said, he discussed with his mother and planned to invite Wu Tai-doctor, a well-known expert in gynecology at the Tai Hospital, to come the next day.After returning to the main courtyard, he comforted Jia Min and asked her to take good care of her body, and then moved to the inner study.

Lying on the bed at night, Lin Ruhai couldn't fall asleep no matter what.He thought he was delusional, but he didn't know it was so easy.At this time in the previous life, there was no such child.The son two years later was also born to Aunt Su, so he went there a few more times, hoping that Aunt Su would give birth to his son soon.Unexpectedly, Jia Min was pregnant this time, what a surprise.

It was also at this time that Lin Ruhai realized clearly that this life was different after all.
