[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Baochai was two months pregnant.

As soon as the doctor told the news, Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were overjoyed!

"Hurry up! Tell someone to report the good news to the master and ancestor!" Mrs. Wang said joyfully.

Xiren agreed with a smile, and went out to ask the little girl to spread the word everywhere, not even Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, nor even Wang Xifeng.

In the room, Baochai lay shyly on the bed.

Baoyu held her hand nervously by the bed, both happy and at a loss, seeing Baochai as a rare animal that cannot be touched.

The doctor stroked his beard with a smile and said: "Second Grandma Bao is still in good health, but she may have been a little tired recently, and her mood is tense. The fetus is small, so it is a little unstable. During this time, make up for it, take a good rest, and don't worry about it." Labour, just feed some..."

Mrs. Wang listened attentively and nodded repeatedly, taking down all the precautions.

After sending the doctor away, Xiren led a group of maids to congratulate her, and Mrs. Wang expressed her appreciation without hesitation.

Recalling the matter of punishing the girl before, he said with a straight face: "For the sake of today's happy event, I will forgive you first. If you don't serve me honestly in the future, don't blame me for kicking you out." !"

The maids naturally responded tremblingly, all of them lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, extremely well-behaved, completely unable to see their usual noisy appearance.

However, those who were beautiful and lively, still did not escape Mrs. Wang's beating, and were all sent outside to sweep the floor, fetch water and water the flowers, and they were not allowed to hang around in front of Baoyu Baochai.

Although the little girls were unwilling, it was better than being kicked out, so they kowtowed obediently and withdrew out.

But after a while, Jia Zheng, Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng and others all came over and gathered in front of Baochai to greet him.

Several female family members discussed that they wanted to choose two or three elderly mothers for Baochai to take care of them, and asked Wang Xifeng to give Baochai a separate stove to cook all kinds of food for pregnant women.

Wang Xifeng said a lot of good things, so she hurriedly arranged to go.

Although I don't know whether she is happy or jealous, but she is always smiling.

Jia Zheng sat alone outside, looking inside from time to time, with a rare smile on his face.

Seeing the crowd surrounding Baochai, Xiren was not surprised. He didn't feel jealous, but rather pleased.

On the surface, she is just a housekeeper.Now that Baochai is happy, maybe she will officially become Baoyu's aunt soon.If Baochai was born a son, she might be allowed to conceive and have a son a year later.

Xiren felt that his greatest wish in life was to be by Baoyu's side, give birth to a child for him, and watch the child grow up safely.

That child may be like her, or Baoyu. Although he is not a legitimate son, he is still her and Baoyu's beloved child, and he will be the same in the future.

In the future, the children will get married and have children, and she and Baoyu will grow old, playing with their grandchildren. Just thinking about it makes her feel very happy.

Xiren didn't want much at all, so she saw that Baochai was pregnant, the more she watched, the more she felt it was a good thing.

Baocong and Lin Daiyu also heard the news and came to Baoyu's congratulations hand in hand.

Lin Daiyu squeezed into the inner room to visit Baochai, while Baocong and Jia Zheng were outside.

After only saying hello, the two of them were relatively speechless.

If it was normal, Jia Zheng would definitely get angry again when he saw that Bao Cong looked indifferent, as if he didn't take him as his father seriously.

But today he was in a good mood, and he didn't care much about Bao Cong's attitude. Instead, he smiled for the first time, which made Bao Cong think that something was wrong with Jia Zheng!

In the room, there was a conversation among the women's relatives, and only Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu said cheerfully: "Now that Baochai is pregnant, Daiyu, you have to hurry!"

Didn't hear what Lin Daiyu said, but Bao Cong's face was already darkened.

He and Lin Daiyu have only been married for a few months, so why worry?

It's true that from ancient times to the present, mother-in-laws are always urging, and they don't know what to urge.

It so happened that Tanchun sisters also came to visit Baochai, and they all squeezed into the inner room.

Bao Cong simply lifted the curtain, and said to Mrs. Jia Muwang: "This room is crowded. Sister Lin and I will visit Sister Bao another day, so that she won't be overcrowded."

With that said, he took Lin Daiyu out, said goodbye to Jia Zheng, and went straight back to his yard.

Lin Daiyu didn't care either, she liked quietness, so she didn't have to squeeze in this time to visit Baochai.It's the same when I go to visit again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

However, what Mrs. Wang said to Jia's mother still made her a little concerned.

Lin Daiyu also knew that her body was weak since she was a child. After Qiaoyan came, it took a long time for her to recuperate before she gradually recovered.However, her physique is not as strong as ordinary people after all, and her mother gave birth to her after many years.

I don't know if she will be as difficult as her mother in terms of heirs...

Seeing Lin Daiyu's worried expression, Bao Cong knew that she had been influenced by Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu's words, so he took her to the small study room, put out pens, ink, paper and inkstones, rubbed them with ink, and said with a smile, "Sister Bao is pregnant. It's a good thing, but we don't have that kind of idle time, not to mention that we are still young, even if the Spring Festival is just around the corner, and I will enter the court later, there are so many things to do, let's delay talking for a few years..."

He also really wanted to have another child in a few years, firstly because of Lin Daiyu's physical condition, and secondly because of the complicated situation in Jia's mansion, who knows when the house would be ransacked.

In such an unstable family environment, it is not a good thing to have children.

Lin Daiyu only thought that Baocong was comforting him, and smiled casually, bypassing the topic and talking about Chunwei.

Bao Cong had exactly this intention, and after practicing a few big characters, he took out the topic newly assigned by Zhou Ji, as well as the history paper he wrote, and discussed it with Lin Daiyu.

He doesn't have the arrogance and aloofness of being a Jie Yuan at all, whoever is in front of him is a real academic bully!

After two or three days, the discussion about Baochai's pregnancy in the Rongguo Mansion not only did not subside gradually, but intensified instead.

The female family members of Ningguo Mansion also came to greet them, and the relatives and female family members of Jia Mansion also lined up to greet them. Even some of the servants' wives who were not around to serve were competing for the opportunity to congratulate Baoyu Baochai.

Baoyu's yard is not far from Baocong's yard, and there is so much excitement there that Baocong and Lin Daiyu have to hear all kinds of congratulations, talking and laughing every day.

There are also Mrs. Wang Jiamu, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng, who seized the opportunity to talk to Lin Daiyu about pregnancy precautions, and whispered how to adjust the body to make it easier to conceive, as if Lin Daiyu could conceive a child immediately after listening to them. .

It's almost impossible to be quiet these days!

Bao Cong rushed to Mrs. Wang in a huff, and said with a stiff neck, "The mansion is too noisy, and I can't study. I want to move to another courtyard with Sister Lin. It's also close to Mr. Zhou's house. It’s more convenient to go back and forth!”

Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "Why is it so noisy in the mansion? Don't you live in a yard by yourself? No one goes to your yard to make noise?" Then she pulled him worried and said: "Where can I go to another courtyard where I can live comfortably at home? ? You have food and drink at home, and you don’t have anything to ask for when you go to another hospital. How can I let you study quietly?"

Bao Cong just insisted with a blank face: "It's noisy at home, and Baoyu's place is full of people talking a lot. I can hear movement in my yard all day long. There is a small kitchen in the other courtyard, and I also eat and live in the same way. It's still quiet." , much better than at home!"

Mrs. Wang was blocked by Baocong's words, and she couldn't say anything to refute for a while, she could only keep saying: "How good is the family, your grandmother and I can take care of you, eat, drink and live, do you want anything in another hospital? Can you get used to it? Or live at home?"

Bao Cong shook his head: "No, it's too noisy."

Mrs. Wang was choked again, and could only choke out one sentence for a long time: "Why don't I talk to Baoyu and ask him to be quiet there?"

Those servants who came to pay their respects were easy to dismiss, but if relatives or wives of officials came to congratulate them, they could not be dismissed casually.

Besides, Baochai's mother, Aunt Xue lived not far away, and often came to take care of her daughter, let alone drive away casually.

Bao Cong said unhappily: "It's not something that can be quieted by talking about it, and sister Bao is pregnant with a child, so you can't tell her to shut up and stop talking and playing with others? If she is unhappy, the child in her belly Can you be happy?"

At the end, he emphasized again with Mrs. Wang: "I think it's better for me to go to another courtyard to live quietly, so it's settled. I'll also go to my grandmother to talk about it."

As he said that, he didn't care whether Mrs. Wang agreed or not, and went directly to Jia's mother.

Jia's mother also took Baocong to stay for a long time, but Baocong insisted, so she had no choice but to agree. Lin Daiyu came back every day to greet her and report the situation.

Baocong agreed one by one, went back to her small yard, and immediately asked Qingwen to clean it up.

Because of Jia's mother's order, Qingwen led the little girls to pack up two or three carriages for fear that Baocong would not be used to living in another courtyard, and finally it was the same as moving.

Bao Cong glanced at the luggage, at first he thought it was too much, but on second thought, it would be better to move everything to another hospital, since he has been living in another hospital recently anyway.If you want to go back to Jia's mansion, are you afraid that there will be nothing to use?

So I don't think there are too many things, and there are a few maids and women who are guarding the gate, Qingwen, Zijuan, Bihen, and Qiu'er, who are frequently used, all went to other courtyards.

When they arrived at the other courtyard, they cleaned up again. At night, Baocong and Lin Daiyu really slept in the other courtyard, and only then did they truly feel at ease and quiet.

From the next day, Bao Cong resumed his strict work and rest schedule, prepared for the Spring Festival with Lin Daiyu Qingshuang, and immersed himself in his studies.

Apart from occasionally dealing with servants from Jia's mansion who came to greet him, Bao Cong felt that his time arrangement was perfectly used.

Although, according to the previous dream, he probably already knew the exam questions and had a high probability of becoming a Tanhua, but he would not be so stupid as to put his future on a dream.

He will review all the contents that should be reviewed carefully.And the content of the exam questions in the dream is just to let him focus on reviewing and preparing several times.

But what really bothered him was the list he stole from Jia Zheng.So far, he hasn't come up with a perfect excuse, after all, he doesn't know what's going on with Emperor Zhao.

Or, when you can only face it, see the trick and break the trick.

In a flash of March, the spring began.

Bao Cong returned to live in Rongguo Mansion two days ahead of schedule, and Mrs. Wang took care of everything for Bao Cong according to Qiu Wei's previous preparations.This time I was much calmer, I didn't panic, and I didn't worry about checking things over and over again.

And Bao Cong also easily passed the general examination and the re-examination, but he was a little nervous in the subsequent imperial examination.

The test questions were still the test questions in his dream, he was well prepared and not afraid.Only when Emperor Zhaoxuan stepped forward to ask and answer, his back was wet with sweat.

What Emperor Zhao asked was not about the Yellow River building embankments to control the water in his dream, but "how do you think the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people?"

The emperor broke the law?The same crime as the common people?What do you think?

Facing the emperor, he is a small juren, and he has to answer such hell-difficult questions before he enters the officialdom... I don't know what Emperor Zhao thinks...
