The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Tanchun and the others had almost eaten, and when they saw Jia Lian coming, they also gave a wink, and left after a while, leaving only Wang Xifeng's family of four sitting around.

Wang Xifeng now adheres to eating less and more meals, and will eat six or seven percent full, so she won't eat any more, and only concentrates on picking up vegetables and soup for Jia Lian.Brother Mao and Sister Qiao were young and couldn't eat much, so they were also taken down by the nanny.

The couple were the only ones left in the room. Jia Lian saw that she was still busy with her belly stretched out, and her heart felt warm, so she took Wang Xifeng's hand and told her to sit down.

"It's fine if I come by myself, no matter how bad it is, there will still be a servant girl here, you can sit and rest for a while."

Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile, sat on Jia Lian's right side, and asked her maid to add food to Jia Lian from time to time, but she was also very affectionate.

When the meal was over, the maids took their things away, and the room was filled with the smell of food, so Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng got up and went to the main room to talk.

Jia Lian took a sip of her tea, which was sweet, and said strangely, "Why isn't it Jin Junmei?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Second Master lived outside for several months, and it was winter, so I changed to this herbal tea. I specially asked Mrs. Lu to make it. It is the most nourishing and healthy. Second Master How are you drinking?"

Just now, Jia Lian felt that the taste was a bit weird, but now that he heard that Wang Xifeng ordered someone to make it specially, he hurriedly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and praised: "Excellent, it's hard for you to bother so much when you're pregnant. It's just that my body is fine. , you should take care of yourself and don't have to work so hard."

"There's no need to worry about it. It's just a word of advice. Besides, Lin Lang and Qing'er's father have also gone. Naturally, Mrs. Lu has a lot of trouble. This is something she sent back from Lingnan, and it's also the last one. It was sent back at the end of the month."

Wang Xifeng said and laughed: "Ping'er is pregnant again, and it is estimated that she will give birth every year."

After Jia Lian heard this, she was also happy for her, and replied: "Then this year's festival ceremony should be a little bit heavier, so I should congratulate their husband and wife. It has been almost three years since Lin Qiong was released, Lu The lady sent the letter back, did you say anything about the arrangement of the husband and wife?"

"They really don't want to miss Sichuan outside. The folk customs in Lingnan are fierce, which is very different from the customs in Beijing and Beijing. Ping'er and Mrs. Lu don't need to guard the backyard, and they go out for outings and shopping from time to time. I feel itchy when I hear it."

Seeing Wang Xifeng's full face yearning for him, Jia Lian was amused and sad at the same time.

If he hadn't been born in such a world, with Wang Xifeng's talents and abilities, he would definitely be a character who would never give up to a man, why would he only be able to hang around in the back house.

Seeing her expressing her thoughts now, Jia Lian thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "If you like it, how about I take you for a stroll next year? In next autumn, you must have this in your belly for three months. At that time, please ask your ancestors and wives to take care of their brothers and sisters, let's go out for a few months and come back later in the year."

Seeing Wang Xifeng's eyes brighten up, Jia Lian jokingly said, "You're also called our Lian's second grandma. How about going to the days when there were wild cranes in the clouds and simple food?"

Wang Xifeng pinched him with a smirk, pretending to be angry and said: "So what about rough tea and light food, what about rich clothes and fine food? You can only live for a lifetime, just be happy. The second master is now a celebrity in front of His Majesty, isn't it?" I can’t look down on simple food.”

Jia Lian was not annoyed, but pretended to be in pain, and shouted: "Grandma is merciful, you are merciful, you have pinched me, who will take grandma out to play next year?"

The husband and wife were talking and arguing, and fell on the soft pillow for a while, unable to get up from laughter.

The rest of the serving servants were only watching outside, and hearing the continuous laughter inside, they were all only happy for the deep relationship between their grandma and the second master.

Flash forward to the Spring Festival again, Wang Xifeng's belly has been six months old, and according to the doctor, the belly is actually twins.For a while, not only Jia's family was happy, but even old in-laws also took advantage of the Chinese New Year to come to express their thanks and congratulations.

Wang Xifeng was overwhelmed, and Jia Lian couldn't bear to see her still entertaining guests with a big belly. After they returned to Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing, they packed their things that day and went to live in the hot spring village.It was rumored that Wang Xifeng was afraid of the cold during pregnancy, and that the hot spring village had geothermal heat, which was more conducive to Wang Xifeng's recuperation.

This hot spring village in Xishan was built by Wang Xifeng when she first married into Jia's family. It has been almost ten years now, but she has not lived here for a long time.After all, Wang Xifeng is in charge of the affairs of the whole family, and every year in the early winter, he will accompany Jia Shishi and others to come here to soak in the hot spring to relieve fatigue.

Now leaving aside the trifles in the mansion, only Jia Lian and the serving maid, Wang Xifeng can rest well.

It's just that it's not easy for pregnant women to soak in hot springs for a long time, and she only soaked once or twice when she first came here, and the rest of the time she just wandered around in the village to relax.

There are many hot springs in Xishan, and the Zhuangzi of the Jia family was carefully built. Although it is not as magnificent as Zhaominghou Mansion and Rong Enhou Mansion, it does not have a sense of exquisiteness and tranquility.Moreover, the stewards of the Zhuangzi were also the governors. Although the soil in the hot spring village was not fertile, a lot of fertile soil was transported from the side to plant flowers, plants and vegetables everywhere.

In such a bleak winter day, the eyes are full of withered, yellow and silvery white. These lush and green plants are really eye-catching.Wang Xifeng's favorite is Zhuangtou's specially built flower house, where all kinds of flowers compete to bloom in the middle of winter, competing for beauty and beauty.

"Chunliu, take the two pots of kumquats and the two pots of roses over there home, and invite the old ladies, wives and girls to enjoy the flowers. Send the two pots of wood hibiscus and golden osmanthus to the Lin family for my aunt to taste. Jian. Give Baoyu, Huan Geer, Lang Geer, and Mao Geer a pot for the two evergreen trees, and put them in the study to rest your eyes."

"There are also a few baskets of freshly grown green vegetables. Our family, Wang's family, and Lin's family all sent two baskets, so that everyone can try something new."

Wang Xifeng supported the servant girl's hand, and said while watching.

Jia Lian heard it from the side, and hurriedly said: "In that case, let Zhao'er go back with him, and send a few pots to the emperor and empress in the palace."

Wang Xifeng paused, and asked doubtfully: "There is nothing in the palace. The flower house in the Royal Village next to it is many times larger than ours. How many potted flowers are missing?"

Jia Lian replied with a smile: "Your Majesty naturally has no shortage, but this is all the heart of our courtiers. In the middle of winter, there is nothing else to say, but this spring is rare. Showing it to Your Majesty is also a token of my loyalty. "

After Wang Xifeng heard this, she left it to the nanny in charge, and continued to walk in the yard by herself.

She is getting older and older, and the doctor and imperial physician have told her to move around more.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, beads of sweat appeared on Wang Xifeng's forehead. Seeing this, Jia Lian walked over quickly and took over the servant girl's position: "Just go back to the house and rest for a while."

Wang Xifeng also felt tired, especially because her stomach was so heavy that she would have been too lazy to move if it hadn't been for the imperial doctor's repeated instructions.Now that Jia Lian was talking, she borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and was immediately supported by Jia Lian back to the house to rest.

The couple spend their days at the hot spring village in Xishan, besides eating and drinking, admiring the flowers and scenery, chatting and laughing.In order to prevent Wang Xifeng from being bored during pregnancy, Jia Lian specially invited opera troupe, storyteller, and craftsmen who played all kinds of operas from the city to perform for Wang Xifeng in Zhuangzi, and many good stories spread in Beijing.

After the Lantern Festival, the six departments will resume their duties, so Jia Lian can no longer hide in Zhuangzi.

It's just that Wang Xifeng really likes life in Zhuangzi, and she doesn't really want to go back to Jia's house and worry about those trivial matters.Besides, the first lunar month has not yet passed, and the banquets of each household are still going on, and now she returns to the capital, it is inevitable that she will not be disturbed by everyone.

Therefore, after sending a letter to Jia Shishi, Wang Xifeng continued to stay in Zhuangzi to recuperate, but Chun and sister Qiao were sent to Zhuangzi to accompany Wang Xifeng.As for Tanchun, Brother Maoer and others, they either had to help Mrs. Xing and Li Wan with family affairs, or they had to study hard in class with Mr. Bai, so they really couldn't leave home at will.

When the mood was good, the body became better and better. When Wang Xifeng took Xichun and sister Qiao home on February [-]nd, when the dragon raised her head, everyone felt that she looked very good, and she didn't feel tired like a pregnant woman at all.

Seeing her like this, Jia Shishi was also happy in his heart, he was not angry because she had been dodging for half a month, on the contrary, he gave a lot of good things, all of which were her own treasures in the bottom of the box.

By acting like this, it wasn't just that he favored Wang Xifeng, but that Jia Baoyu was about to take the exam in February.Because of Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu didn't need to go back to his hometown in Jinling to prepare for the exam, he could just take the county exam in Beijing.

This saves Jia Baoyu a lot of effort, and saves the fatigue of the journey.Secondly, compared with Jiangnan, the literary style in Beijing is not so prosperous, but the number of places has not been reduced, and Jia Baoyu's chance of passing the exam is a little bit higher.

For this reason, not only Jia Shishi, but even Li Wan treated Wang Xifeng more affectionately.Brother Lang is also nine years old this year. In two years' time, he will have to go to the exam. If he can get Jia Lian's kind words at that time, won't he take advantage of it like Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng is well aware of this, but if Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan can stand out, it can save Jia Lian's effort, as there are still too few talents in the Jia family's direct line.However, Jia Yun, Jia Cang and others who have Jia Lian's favor in the side branch, and others who are capable, have already found a reason to go out a few years ago, and went to sea quietly. None of the Jia family's officials in the court can do anything. number.

It was also for this reason that although Situ Yao was very afraid of Jia Lian, he did not take action to suppress him, and only focused on surveillance and suspicion.In the eyes of everyone in Beijing, Geinjia's family really didn't have any available talents.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, the two older generations are too absurd, while Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan and other juniors have not grown up. No matter how great their ambitions are, they are just fantasy now.
