[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

As for Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's road to the imperial examination, everyone suggested that safety should be the main priority, and it would be better to join Chunwei three years later than to fall into the ranks of the same Jinshi. After all, the two still have some strengths. If they lose It is really a pity that Haoli became a fellow Jinshi like his wife.

So after the two exams in August, they were not as nervous as they were before Qiu Wei. Lin Ruhai asked them to help with some matters outside the Lin family, while he concentrated on dealing with the complicated affairs of the officialdom.

Lin Ruhai is probably because he only has two daughters, so he taught the nephews of the Yue family as seriously as his own children, and hoped that in the future they would become the attachments of his daughters. Of course, nothing is good, but if there is a What, someone can come forward at that time.

Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, when the Lin family entertained guests or went out to other people's gatherings, Lin Ruhai would bring the two of them with him, thinking that he was planning to introduce his contacts to Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.

However, most of the time, the two still focused on studying, and then Lin Ruhai took the two of them to visit the Great Confucianism when he was teaching Jia Hu, so that he could learn more. I'm sorry to trouble the teacher again.

On the twelfth day of February, Lin Daiyu was celebrating her first birthday. Lin Ruhai only invited some close colleagues and friends. Except for Wei Yi'an and Wei Ruolan, the Jia family did not participate. The children all put their favorite things on it, hoping that See if my cousin can catch it.

However, Lin Daiyu disappointed them. The child ran towards Lin Ruhai's "Book of Songs" very firmly, holding it in his hand and refusing to greet anyone. Nothing shiny could attract her attention.

The guests all praised: "This woman must have the talent of Xie Daoyun in the future, congratulations!"

Lin Ruhai was very complacent, the person who was always very supportive even drank a little more wine that night, and the couple got a little noisy when they were together at night.

In the middle of March, Jia Min's menstruation has always been accurate since he recuperated his body, but this month's menstruation has not come, so I have some guesses in my heart. Both husband and wife are a little nervous and a little excited, so they invite the doctor , and did not bring out the happy pulse.

However, the doctor said that it might be because the month is still young, so it is difficult to confirm that it is a slippery pulse. It should be confirmed next month, but within a few days, Jia Min had a pregnancy reaction, and the two of them already believed in their hearts that they were really pregnant. .

In addition to being excited, Lin Ruhai was more worried. His mother-in-law and the others were leaving Yangzhou to return to the capital in a few days. Now that the situation was like this again, if only Min'er was at home alone, it would be very difficult for him to relax.

After careful consideration for a few days, Lin Ruhai said to Jia Min: "When mother-in-law returns to the capital, you and mother-in-law go back to Beijing together."

"Husband, why did you say that suddenly? And if I'm really pregnant, it's not convenient to travel so far from the capital, right? What if something happens to the child?"

Jia Min really missed her natal family, but she never thought of letting Lin Ruhai be alone, and she was reluctant to leave her husband when she went back to the capital.

But Lin Ruhai thought about it a lot, so he hugged her patiently and comforted her: "I know, but I don't have the energy to take care of you, and I feel a little uneasy. If you go to the capital with your mother-in-law, I can rest assured. If you take good care of it, nothing will happen."

Jia Min wanted to refute, but Lin Ruhai had no doubts in his eyes, so he could only swallow it.

In the next month, Jia Min's period still hadn't come, Lin Ruhai invited the doctor again, and this time the doctor confirmed that Jia Min was indeed pregnant again.

The two were extremely happy, and Jia Min even wept in Lin Ruhai's arms. This child was like a godsend to them.

Lin Ruhai was worried that Jia Min's emotional agitation would affect the child in her stomach. After she calmed down, he said, "I'll tell my mother-in-law in a while, and you can go on the road with them."

"Can you not go?"

"Be obedient, don't make me worry about you, you take Qingyuan and Daiyu with you, you don't have to worry about me."

How could Jia Min not be worried? Although her husband didn't say what was the reason why she had to leave Yangzhou, she couldn't help thinking about it, but Lin Ruhai's decision still remained unwavering.

Zhang Rui had known for a long time that Jia Min might be pregnant, and today the doctor came to check the pulse again, and when the results came out, the servants came to report, but Lin Ruhai did not expect Lin Ruhai to report the happy news again.

"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law would like to invite you to bring Min'er back to Beijing."

Zhang Rui didn't know why Lin Ruhai wanted Jia Min to travel long distances, so he asked, "The journey is long, and she is still young this month. Will she be too tired to take care of her baby?"

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, "My mother-in-law doesn't know, but Ruhai has been reappointed as the inspector of the salt censor, and everyone in the court is saying that I am deeply trusted by His Majesty, but the relationship between the salt merchant and the Jiangnan family is complicated, and now it involves... unless The dust has settled, otherwise I dare not have any problems."

The words "Princes" were spoken in a low voice, but Zhang Rui heard it clearly, but according to what he said, Jia Min is likely to stay in the capital for a long time, and of course she doesn't mind taking care of her daughter, but, "Patriarch Lin Mother is not at home, if you have something to entertain, what should you do with the inner house?"

"Ruhai will try to be considerate."

Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "You are so busy with things outside, how can you be distracted? How about letting Qingyuan stay in Yangzhou?"

When Jia Min was pregnant before, Lin Qingyuan was very filial at a young age, and took the initiative to help her mother with a lot of things. After Daiyu was born, she still took care of the housework with her mother. It will be deceived by others, and Zhang Rui thinks there will be no problem if the old mother in the mansion can help.

Lin Ruhai's first reaction was to refuse. The reason why he let the children leave Yangzhou with Min'er was to ensure their safety, so that he would not have to worry about the future.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Rui knew what he was thinking, and persuaded him: "Min'er will definitely worry about you. She is pregnant again now, so she should avoid worrying too much, but Liu Qingyuan is in Yangzhou. On the one hand, she can take care of you after treatment. On the one hand, it also lets her know that there is nothing particularly serious."

After a pause, he continued: "If you're worried, we'll just take a medical girl away, and leave a few more skilled guards to protect her. How about that?"

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and considered for a while, then nodded and said, "That's the only way to go."

Now that it was decided that Jia Min would also return to the capital together, it was originally scheduled to go back in mid-April, but it was postponed until the end of the month, and the previous plan to travel by land was also replaced by water.

When it was time to officially set off, compared with the previous convoy, it was much stronger. After all, there was a pregnant woman who needed to be taken care of carefully, so everything should be more delicate.

And on the third day after Zhang Rui and the others left Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai received a letter from the capital. It was supposed to be for his mother-in-law and he shouldn't read it. What's the big deal.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai opened the letter in front of the sender, and the more he read it, the more he frowned.

Originally, on the evening of the third day of April, the pregnant Zheng Shi suddenly felt unwell, and knew that she might be about to give birth. Anyang had already given birth to two children. There was no fuss, and she calmly ordered her servants to arrange the delivery.

It's just that Zheng's age is not too young, and he drank the ginseng soup prepared by his daughter-in-law to replenish his physical strength. After giving birth until midnight, he still failed to give birth, and he was a little physically weak.

Jia Jing and Jia Zhen sat outside and couldn't stop watching, but they could only hear Zheng's shrill and weak cry, seeing the blood coming out of the pots, Jia Jing trembled a little.

Jia Zhen was careless, but Princess Anyang noticed the abnormality of her father-in-law, and couldn't help worrying: "Father, are you okay?"

Jia Jing reluctantly raised the corners of his lips, and said to Jia Zhen who was looking over, "I'm fine, I just feel a little cold." The timidity in his heart made him feel cold all over.

Sure enough, not long after, the invited imperial physician and Wen Po both said that Zheng's fetal position was a bit wrong, and they were helping to correct the fetal position, but I don't know how long it will take, and the pregnant woman may not be able to bear it.

"Then...then prepare some old ginseng for my wife, can I..." Jia Jing was a little speechless. In fact, scholars in this era more or less understand some medical principles, and Jia Jing is the same. Seeing the imperial doctor's face, he knew that his proposal was not very good.

"Mrs. Ning Guo's health is not very good. It is really not suitable to be too much, but if life is really difficult, you must use what should be used, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Hearing the imperial physician's words, Jia Jing, who has always been handsome and calm, fell on the stool. Everyone looked at him and lost most of their energy and energy, and became very old.

It wasn't until the early morning of the fourth day of April that Mrs. Zheng gave birth to a baby girl in this twilight. However, the tired people who had waited all night had no time to get excited. People in the delivery room said that the old lady was bleeding profusely. Rescue efforts failed to save Zheng's life in the end.

When Jia Jing heard the bad news, he didn't behave as others worried, but showed no expression at all, drove away all the maids and women, entered the delivery room alone, tidied up the bed with his own hands, and scrubbed Zheng's body himself, Put on Zheng's favorite clothes.

On that day, Jia Jing stayed here with Mrs. Zheng for a day and a night, and no one could persuade him to come out.

On the second day, mulberry flags were hung up in the Ningguo Mansion, but Zheng's body hadn't been put into the coffin yet. Jia Zhen and his wife and Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Hu, who came to help, came to the door to persuade him.

After a long while, I vaguely heard the movement inside. Not long after the door was pushed open, most of Jia Jing's well-maintained black hair turned white. Everyone was stunned for a while, watching this scene made people Very sad.
