Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

"Ouch, what's the matter?"

But the person who heard it shook his head: "Tell me, the emperor is quite wicked. Our second mistress has worked so hard to carry the child for the second master. If the emperor thinks that the second master has meritorious service, you can reward him with more gold." Wouldn’t it be good to give the second master silver jewels to fill the storeroom, and then give some ginseng antler and deer treasures to the second grandma to make up for her health? Otherwise, it would be fine to reward the land and shop? Why give the second master the beautiful women? Is this an embarrassment, or a reward? It made our Second Mistress Lian run around with the ball all day, it's hard work, it's pitiful."

People just scoffed at the rumors: "She is pitiful? She eats delicacies from mountains and seas, wears silk and satin, idles around all day, and doesn't do business, how pitiful is she? I think you are pitiful for your delicate skin and tender flesh, and you do rough work all day long!"

The two laughed together at the end.

Here Jia Lian is holding Sister Feng's arm, the poor woman who runs with the ball, listening to Bijiao with a smile on her face.I admire these two slaves in my heart, and I am almost catching up with storytellers.

The Viscount's Mansion over there was just Jia Lian's request to the Ministry of Industry to send workers to trim the trees and flowers, and replace the damaged glazed tiles on the roof. When these slaves talked about it, they turned into cute girls.

Jia Lian of the Viscount's Mansion hasn't visited it seriously yet, firstly because he has no energy, and secondly, it's not appropriate for Sister Feng to move while she is pregnant.In addition, the Viscount's Mansion is two streets away from Rongning Street, and the geographical location is not as good as Rongguo Mansion.

Today, Hemerocallis Hall is like a fairyland run by Sister Feng, full of flowers and plants, and shaded by trees.Green and green, although it is winter, there are thriving scenes everywhere, which is pleasing to the eye.

Jia Lian's two sons and daughters were also born here, and both husband and wife were reluctant to leave here.

The two of them even discussed in private that they might as well wait until Brother Yu got married and move them to be independent, and the old couple would retire in Rongguo Mansion.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and female family members in Kyoto are prevalently ill, because Sister Feng is already near the end of the month, and Mrs. Wang Zisheng has already lived in the Hemerophyllum Hall. It has already been stationed in Rongfu, and it is only waiting for Sister Feng to come to fruition.

This morning, Jia Lian ordered Lin Zhixiao to take people to place the bound Aoshan Mountain on Rongning Street, while he himself rushed to Xishan to supervise the recruitment of soldiers, but before he walked out of the city gate, he received a message from Jia Ling that Uncle Lin Miza went to Beijing.

Jia Lian didn't dare to delay here, and sent Miza directly to Ningshou Palace.Jia Lian was about to go out of the city gate to Xishan again. Zhao Liangdong from Rongguo Mansion came to look for Jia Lian sweating profusely, and Sister Feng mobilized.

Jia Lian laughed immediately, the two young ones also love to be lively, rushing out to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

This time he couldn't go to Xishan, so Jia Lian ordered Long'er to deliver a letter to Xishan, and then went home to watch over his wife and give birth.

I am ashamed to say that Jia Lian was not present in the two lifetimes when Sister Feng gave birth.

In her previous life, Jia Lian drank flower wine outside and became a father when she got home.Jia Lian didn't like Sister Qiao very much because she was a girl again, so she didn't ask about Sister Feng's situation at all, so she turned around and went to the East Mansion, where she drank with Jia Zhen all night.

In this life, it is a coincidence that Jia Lian is taking the imperial examination and also missed it.

This is his second time as a father, Jia Lian is very nervous since it is the first time for Jia Lian to get into the sedan chair for a big girl.

When I returned to Xuancao Tang, Sister Feng had already entered the delivery room, Jia Lian wanted to say a few words of thanks but didn't have a chance, and was very annoyed.

When she was young, Sister Feng's screams came, and Jia Lian was so frightened that she was about to rush to the delivery room: "Sister Feng, Sister Feng, I'm outside, what's wrong with you, tell me?"

How could Sister Feng have the energy to take care of him.The delivery room was blocked by several women again. His mother-in-law heard Jia Lian yelling and came out to comfort her son-in-law: "This is how women give birth. If it hurts a little, I will watch over you to rest assured. You know she has worked hard." , from now on, just treat your daughter-in-law well."

Jia Lian nodded in agreement, feeling at ease.

For a moment, Sister Feng came back in pain again, and couldn't help shouting again.

Jia Lian panicked again, shouting anxiously: "Prince doctor, doctor, go and have a look. Why is it so scary? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Liangdong has also been a father a few times, and he couldn't help snickering when he saw this, but he persuaded Jia Lian in a serious manner: "It's okay, the second grandma yelled louder than this time when she gave birth last time, and it's not that the mother and child are safe in the end, the second grandma is healthy." Well, it's the second child, no problem."

Jia Lian just felt at ease here, but she couldn't stand Sister Feng's shouts, and Jia Lian panicked for a while.Zhao Liangdong had no choice but to call his mother, Nanny Zhao, to appease Jia Lian.

Madam Zhao was guarding the door with Mrs. Wang Zisheng, each holding a small quilt, ready to pick up the child. Hearing that Jia Lian was making a fuss, Mrs. Wang Zisheng laughed: "This Jia Lian, who does things in a disciplined manner outside, why is it the daughter-in-law's turn?" Having a baby, he can't stand still."

Zhao Nanny smiled and said: "This is our elder brother's kindness, I can't see this, I will go and persuade him."

Zhao Nanny happily came to see Jia Lian, and comforted her, "This is how women give birth. Grandma Feng is in good health, and the midwife said that it is almost here. This is the second child, and it will come soon. If it is the first child, it will be painful. One day and one night, women suffer, brother will love Grandma Feng more in the future."

Jia Lian's face turned pale when he heard the words. This was scary enough, but he said it was not as good as the first child?Jia Lian really felt that being a woman was not easy.Hearing Madam Zhao's lesson, she nodded like pecking rice: "That's for sure, she is my wife, if I don't love her, who will I love?"

Sister Feng sang and yelled up and down until the end of the hour, when she heard a baby cry. Jia Lian almost cried, and couldn't help clasping his hands together: "Thank God, it finally landed."

The midwife announced her congratulations: "Congratulations to the second grandma, your son."

Outside, Ping'er was convinced and hurriedly announced the good news to Jia Lian: "Second Master, Second Mistress gave birth to a son for you."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Look at the rewards, everyone in the mansion waits, and three more months will be issued. The running water table will be three days, brother, Tianqi Temple will give porridge."

Zhao Liangdong hurriedly responded.

After a stick of incense, the midwife announced the good news: "Congratulations to the second grandma, you have given birth to a brother again."

Ping'er happily announced the good news again: "Second Lord, you have another son. Congratulations, you have three sons."

Jia Lian was a little dazed for a moment, why did the agreed-upon twins become two dragons?

Although the daughter has become a son, the happy money is still given.

Jia Lian was about to call for a reward.

Ping'er came out again to announce the good news: "Congratulations to the second master, the second grandma has given birth to a sister again, it's full of red, so beautiful."

After being taken aback for a while, Jia Lian laughed loudly: "I said, the stomach is so big, but there are three people squeezed."

Xing'er Zhao'er, Zhao Liangdong, Long'er, kite, and sister Qiao, swallows, lotus seeds, pomegranates and other little girls all came to congratulate Jia Lian.

Jia Lian smiled crookedly, and waved his hands wildly: "There is a reward, there is a reward, there is a reward for everything. Grandma, hurry up and give a reward!"

This reward is a reward other than the month-opening rule.Zhao Liangdong hurriedly ordered someone to bring over a large basket of shiny copper coins, all of which were strings of red silk.Gold and red, very eye-catching.

Zhao Liangdong tossed them one by one: "The money tree is here, let it rain money, the money tree is here, let it rain money!"

Long'er, little kite, good harvest, little swallow, lotus seeds and pomegranates ran wildly chasing money strings one by one, even Xing'er Zhao'er, Jia Ling couldn't help but join in the fun, fighting for each other, laughing and laughing, reverberating throughout the room.

Originally Zhao Liangdong was going to throw money at the gate, but was stopped by Jia Lian: "I would rather give out more porridge than throw money to hurt people's eyes."

Only then did he change to throwing money in the mansion to entertain himself.

Jia Lian wanted to go into the delivery room to see Sister Feng, and made sure Mrs. Wang Zisheng stopped her: "The blood in the room is still bloody, don't go in, for fear of rushing into the road. Wait until Sister Feng moves back to the bedroom, and you can see it later."

Jia Lian had a son again, although he was not as excited as last time, but he was very eager to see what his son looked like, so he gave the best thing: "I won't go in, I just want to see the child."

Mrs. Wang Zisheng and Zhao Mama Ping'er came to Jia Lian with their children in their arms.

Jia Lian looked at the row of three radish heads and was very disappointed: "Oh, why is the skin so wrinkled and ugly, why is it not as good-looking as sister Qiao?"

Mrs. Wang Zisheng pursed her lips and smiled: "It's like this when you are just born. The three of this baby are not as big as the twins. However, the baby who landed grows up against the wind, and it will be fine in three days. When the son-in-law saw sister Qiao , and it will be three days later."

At such a time, when Jia She heard the news and arrived, he learned that he had two more grandchildren, and he smiled like a flower: "Bless the ancestors, my big house is prosperous and prosperous, there are rewards, there are rewards, and everyone rewards two grandchildren." Two silver coins, each of the maids serving Second Mistress will receive a high-quality red envelope, and that Pinger girl will reward you with double, no, three!"

As Jia Amnesty spoke, he opened his hands towards Nanny Zhao: "Come on, give me a hug for my little grandson."

Zhao Nanny handed it to Jia She with a smile: "Second Master also said that they are ugly, do you think they are ugly?"

Jia She stared straight at Jia Lian after a glance: "Who says my grandson is ugly, I've watched it more than you did when you were young."

What Jia Lian could say, everyone said it looked good, so he had to reluctantly accept it.Stretching out his hand to touch the eldest, the little guy opened his mouth and bit Jia Lian, and sucked it when he took it in his mouth. Before Jia Lian could react, the little guy let go of Jia Lian's fingers and began to cry.

Mrs. Wang Zisheng hurriedly said: "The child is hungry, it's time to feed him water."

Ping'er had already prepared a little spirit water, and hurriedly ordered it to be brought up. She fed the water to the three brothers and sisters with her own hands.

Jia Lian watched the three children sticking their heads out, opening their small bird-like mouths to drink water, each of them smacking their lips, and found it very interesting.

Jia Lian simply took the little girl by himself to hold and feed the water. As a result, he was clumsy. He had just fed one, and the other two got impatient and cried with their eyes closed. It was very loud, I really don't know how his small body and mouth could make such a loud cry.

Ping'er hurriedly ordered another teacup to be served, and the water was fed separately, and the world was quiet now.

At this time, Youshi from the East Mansion heard the news and rushed over, and laughed at Sister Feng when he entered the door: "You are so serious, I went to see my mother's house, and I haven't left the city gate yet. Hurry up, wash your clothes because your clothes are stained with dust, and you will give birth. Are you giving birth to a baby, or a little hen pulls eggs, one quack, one quack, you give birth in the blink of an eye Three, I'm hurrying to catch one and I missed one!"

Mrs. Wang Zisheng and Zhao Momo both laughed.

Ping'er also smiled: "You still think it's fast, our second master still thinks that grandma's birth is slow, so we need to hire an imperial physician."

Zhao Nanny said: "This is grandma with a good foundation, and she is also the star of the children's fortune. Others have three or four children, and they are not as fast as the second grandma."

Ping'er also smiled and held the child, looking left and right, unable to be happy.

Youshi gets along well with Sister Feng, and she also appreciates Ping'er's loyalty. She wishes she had Ping'er to help her, and when she sees this, she wants to speak for her, so she pokes at Sister Feng: "That girl likes children so much!"

Sister Feng understood what she said.She is very big-hearted now, in her heart, Ping'er is devoted to her, treats these children as her own, just like her own sister, and does not see outsiders.

Sister Feng smiled: "I can't make her conceive."

You Shi blinked his eyes and raised his eyebrows after a while: "Second Uncle is so picky now?"

Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled: "That's not true, you don't even look at it, 360 days a year, how many times does he stay in the house? Even I can't touch him a few times a year."

Hearing this, You Shi showed a shy look on her face: "Look at your mouth, it's so embarrassing."

Sister Feng was not polite: "This is your head."

Youshi giggled, and while feeding Sister Feng egg soup, she happily announced the good news to Sister Feng: "Brother Qiang wrote a letter a few days ago, but Qing is four months pregnant, I am going to do it soon Granny."

When Sister Feng heard the words, she immediately sprayed the sugar water all over Youshi with a puff.Youshi couldn't help but blame: "Look at what you are doing, are you so surprised? Don't you only want to have children, and you are not allowed to be born?"

Sister Feng quickly waved her hands: "No, but how long has Qing been away from Beijing?"

You Shi pinched his fingers and counted, and it has been four months, ouch, you said Brother Qiang is not good at home, but he is on the road and has a lot of energy! "Sister Feng just mourns for You Shi, and is not worth it for Brother Qiang. This child is obviously not on the road, but this is a matter of the East Mansion and has nothing to do with Sister Feng, so I have to wave: "Ping'er, come here, give the child to me. , You take your Grandma You to change clothes. "

Youshi didn't want to leave, so he stretched out his hand to pick up the child: "What's the matter with a sip of water, give me the child, what's your name, oh, I remember, Sister Qian, Qianqian, so beautiful, I'm an uncle, do you recognize me? "

At this time, sister Qian was full and sleeping soundly, so how could she know how to pay attention to others.But thinking that Youshi has nothing to do, it's not easy to interrupt her kiss.

Turning around, he said that Jia Lian was here with Jia Amnesty and had two sons.Seeing Jia Yun coming from outside, he suddenly felt strange: "You are not working in Ningshou Palace, why are you back?"

Jia Yun smiled unnaturally, Jia Lian looked again, but saw that there was a little tail behind him, it was Du Ruoxin.Jia Lian laughed immediately: "If your wife doesn't bring her home, why are you bringing me here?"

Jia Yun blushed immediately: "It's something that my second uncle doesn't have." She said to Du Ruoxin, "My second uncle is joking, don't worry about it."

Du Ruoxin blushed and squirmed: "It's not what I said, what does it have to do with me, I don't care, just say whatever you like."

When Jia She heard this, his eyes were full of interest, and he waved at Du Ruoxin: "Come here, girl, I'm his grandfather, if you have something to tell me, I'll make the decision for you."

Du Ruoxin's eyes lit up when she heard the words: "Really, my grandfather wants him to study medicine, but he wants to study and become a bodyguard."

This Jia Amnesty has nothing to do, because he said: "I can make the decision when he marries a daughter-in-law. I can't force him to learn anything."

Du Ruoxin blushed immediately: "But, is this the same thing?"

Jia Amnesty didn't know why.Jia Lian briefly explained that Dr. Du wanted to pass on medical books and medical skills to his grandson-in-law, but the grandson-in-law wanted to give him back a child of the Du family to carry on the family line.

Jia She frowned and said nothing more, who would want their child to have someone else's surname!

Du Ruoxin's enthusiasm immediately turned to ice, her face was bulging and she just wanted to cry.

Jia Lian hurriedly greeted Jia Yun: "Take her back to see your mother and those twenty monkeys. I'm afraid the world will be turned upside down. Go back and subdue her."

Fearing that Du Ruoxin would say more shocking words, Jia Yun hastily bid farewell to Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, and ran away.

Jia Amnesty glared at Jia Lian: "The Du family wants to recruit a son-in-law, can't you see it?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "No, it's the second son or the second daughter returning to the clan. Don't underestimate the Du family. Mr. Du is a genius doctor. This time, Mr. Du is likely to be admitted to the imperial hospital. Jia Yun's father died early, and I can't help him much. Well, if he can get the favor of Mr. Du, his official career will be much smoother. However, everything depends on his own wishes, and I will not deliberately match him up."

Jia She said angrily, "Then you told him to take him home?"

Jia Lian explained: "Du Ruoxin is now the empress dowager's natal niece. Since she came out of the palace with Jia Yun, it means that the empress dowager and old man Du both agreed. Can I resist the empress dowager?"

Jia Amnesty was still dissatisfied: "The empress dowager is also a nosy old lady, why don't you ask the Zhen family to hire someone else?"

No matter what Jia Lian explained, it was returning the clan and not recruiting a wife, and Jia Amnesty was still messing around.Jia Lian felt unable to communicate normally with his father, Jia She.

This wave of elders in their group especially value their offspring, even cats and dogs that they usually don’t like would be unhappy if they want to take someone else’s surname.

Although Jia Lian also disagreed, the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages. As long as he agrees, he has no objections.Anyway, Jia Yun's son must first be named Jia, and then he will consider the surname Du.

Jia Amnesty was having a temper tantrum with Jia Lian's black-eyed chicken, but he saw Jia Rong and Zhen Yinglian walking in with a smile on their faces, followed by a dozen eunuchs, each with their hands full.

Jia She then stopped talking.

Jia Rong and Zhen Yinglian first saluted Jia Amnesty: "Greetings, Grandpa."

Jia She laughed and raised his hand: "Be good, get up." Then he told Wang Shanbao beside him: "One high-quality gift box for each person!"

Wang Shanbao went to handle it himself and didn't mention it.

Jia Rong and Jia Lian saluted again: "Congratulations to my second uncle, congratulations to my second uncle."

Master Jia Lian ordered Xing'er to give him two high-quality purses, one for each, and then pointed to the eunuch behind and asked, "What kind of battle are you guys doing?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "This is the eunuch delivering the decree from Ningshou Palace and Yangxin Palace."

Jia Lian was startled, and changed his face and said: "Nonsense! Since you are an eunuch passing the order, why don't you put the national ceremony first and then the family ceremony?" Turning around, he told Zhao Liangdong: "Set up the incense table quickly, and prepare to receive the order!"

Zhen Yinglian said with a smile: "They didn't come here to pass the decree, but to watch the excitement."

Jia Lian was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Jia Rong laughed and said: "Nephew, I told the Empress Dowager about my second uncle's birth of triplets. The Empress Dowager ordered a reward, and sent someone to come to pay attention to it quietly. Who knew that the Emperor also came, and I heard this. Send someone to watch the excitement. The queen mother felt that it would not be easy to disturb her at home, so she gave the three children gold locks and jade Luban locks. The emperor did not show weakness, and also rewarded gold locks and Luban locks, the queen mother The empress said, it is best not to reward the same. The emperor ordered to reward the two little cousins ​​with a complete set of the four treasures of the study, and the little cousin rewarded a pearl shirt for the first time. Give sister Qiao a pearl shirt, brother a set of the four treasures of the study."

Jia Lian felt that it was too precious. When he was waiting to see it, the pearl shirt was not a dress made of pearls, but a small waistcoat with pearls just for decoration.Although it is also very valuable, it is not a priceless treasure.

Jia Lian felt at ease.

Although the eunuch didn't come to deliver the decree, Jia Lian went north to kowtow for his kindness after receiving the gift, and then he gave up.

Here, Jia Lian ordered the child to be reported out of the Nuan Pavilion again. The hall is actually very warm.The ten eunuchs were amazed when they saw a row of three radish heads, and they didn't mention it since they went back to the palace.

Here, Jia Rong quietly asked Jia Lian to talk: "Actually, the empress dowager is afraid that her nephew will come to tell the second uncle that old man Du has treated your majesty, and your majesty's back injury has improved a lot. Your majesty promised to personally judge the Du family. case."

Jia Lian frowned: "Sue imperial court? But how can Dr. Du be so old that he can get away with it?"

Jia Rong shook her head: "No, Mr. Du will submit a complaint to the Ministry of Punishment. At that time, His Majesty will send someone to supervise on the spot."

If the Ministry of Criminal Justice tried it, the Gu family would basically not be able to escape.

At this moment, Jia Rong looked in Zhen Yinglian's direction mysteriously, and saw that she was happily teasing the children with Ping'er, so she said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I forgot to tell my second uncle something, which is very serious. It's strange, so my nephew didn't think about what to say."

Seeing him sneaking glances at Zhen Yinglian, Jia Lian raised her eyebrows: "Could it be related to the Zhen family?"

Jia Rong then looked at Jia Lian with starry eyes: "Second Uncle, you are really amazing."
