[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

At this time, Zhang Rui didn't know about Mrs. Zheng, because the letter she had received from Mrs. Zhang said that she wanted to get engaged and get married as soon as possible when they returned, so there was no delay for the entire group on the way, and the boats only stopped when there were large boats along the way. The premises at the port stopped to replenish some fresh vegetable ingredients, and they were on their way as soon as possible at other times.

Before boarding the boat, Wei Ruolan and Jia Min were the ones Zhang Rui was most worried about, but he didn’t expect that on the boat, Wei Ruolan, the youngest, was running around every day full of energy. Although Jia Min felt a little uncomfortable, it was only because Pregnancy is easy to get tired.

On the other hand, Kitty, who was seasick and almost spent most of his time resting on the bed, was exhausted and pale every day, which made people feel distressed.

Jia Yu and the others were worried that she would be bored by herself and wanted to be by her side, but the little cat didn't have the energy to talk to them at all. Instead, they disturbed her rest here, so they stopped coming. She stayed there.

The little girls who went out for the first time felt very novel when they first boarded the boat. The sea is endless, and the children are all talented. When their hearts were shocked, they were excited to write poems. Zhang Rui didn’t have much to write poems. With their talents, let them play with Jia Min.

But it only lasted for a few days. They saw the same scenery every day and were no longer surprised. They only felt that the journey was extremely long, and it made people feel uninterested in doing anything. In addition, they had to eat a little more. , Although the kitchen has tried its best to make fish and seafood tricks, but the children said that they don't want to eat fish for a long time.

Although Zhang Rui also felt bored, she would find something to do for herself. Sometimes she and Jia Zhu would sit there fishing for a whole day. Do it, and the fishing team will grow by chance.

These days the girls are all at Jia Min's place. Jia Lian and Jia Zhu are fishing with their grandmother. Others are really fishing. Jia Lian played with the fishing rod in his hand for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Grandma, after getting married Are you going to be like big brother and can't go anywhere?"

"Who said that? If you have nothing to do in the future, you can take your daughter-in-law to the world."

"Then let's go out by ourselves, how about you, grandma?"

Zhang Rui turned his head and glanced at Jia Lian on the right, and said, "This man has ambitions all over the world, don't you think you can't bear to part with grandma? Grandma won't go out so far in the future."

Jia Lian shook his head, but didn't answer.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Rui asked again: "What's the matter with you, don't dawdle and be decisive."

"Grandmother..." Jia Lian walked up to her grandmother, glanced at Jia Zhu on the other side, and said to him, "Don't overhear me talking to my grandmother~"

Jia Zhu cast a glance at him, and sat a little further away silently with a small stool, showing that she would never do such a villainous thing as eavesdropping.

"Grandmother, have you heard of the fiancée my mother found for me? How is she...?"

Zhang Rui thought about it for a while, and in Jia's mother's memory, there was only a little impression of the old emperor uncle, but Jia's mother, the child of their family, was not very familiar with them, and they rarely met each other, so Zhang Rui couldn't give Jia Lian any answer.

"It can't be a hag, right? I don't know what it looks like." Jia Lian muttered to herself, "Mother didn't make it clear in her letter."

"No matter what, the marriage has already been decided, and you have no room to go back on your word." These days, blind marriages are common, but Zhang has already tried his best to find a suitable Jia Lian, so worrying is useless.

Besides, Zhang Rui glanced at Jia Lian and said, "I feel that your mother wrote very clearly in the letter~"

The second princess reconciled, and verified that the relationship between the family is really well handled. It is very favored, which means that at least he is not stupid, and he will not be disgusted by his actions. It doesn't matter if he looks idle. They said most of their goals of marrying Xungui, generally speaking, it is very good.

Because they were traveling with the wind, they entered the boundary of the capital within half a month. When they got off the boat, they saw the steward of the Rongguo Mansion waiting there. As soon as they saw the old lady, they ran over and said, "Old lady, young masters!" Hello ladies."

Please greet me, and before the master could ask any questions, the person in charge immediately said: "Old Madam, the wife of Ningguo Manor who respected the Lord is gone on the fourth day of April."

"What?!" Zhang Rui was shocked, and then thought that Mrs. Zheng should give birth, so she asked, "Is it because of delivery?"

"Back to the old lady, she died after giving birth to the young lady. The eldest lady sent a letter to Yangzhou on the same day."

"Maybe I missed it by water..."

In fact, she should have thought of it long ago. She clearly knew that Mrs. Zheng was likely to die after giving birth to a child, but because she was powerless, she could only temporarily forget about it. She never thought that this time would come so soon...

The others didn't expect to get such bad news after returning to the capital happily. It was such a gentle and amiable elder who even said he was gone.

Jia Min was also a bit difficult to absorb for a while, and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach when she was too sad. She bent down covering her stomach, and the sound of pain in her mouth woke Zhang Rui up. She saw Jia Min's appearance as soon as she turned her head, and immediately greeted: "Help Min'er into the carriage, medical girl! Where's the medical girl?"

Hurriedly helped Jia Min to the carriage, but fortunately she relieved a lot after resting for a while, the doctor girl also said that there was nothing serious for the time being, so Zhang Rui was relieved.

Then he ordered the servant girl to find some more plain clothes from the luggage and put on them, and took off all the jewelry on her body and put them away before rushing back to the house.

Jia Min is a pregnant woman. Although the mourning hall has been withdrawn and the funeral has been held at this time, it is still difficult for her to go to worship, so Zhang Rui let her go back to the mansion first, and they went to worship in front of Zheng's coffin in Ningguo Mansion.

"Granduncle~" Jia Zhen said with a choked voice when she saw her uncle, "Are you back?"

"It's because we came back late, let's pay homage to your mother first."

Jia Zhen nodded and led them to the mother's coffin.

The children kowtowed to Mrs. Zheng in front of the spiritual tablet. Zhang Rui was the elder, and he only slightly bowed to burn a stick of incense, and sighed in a low voice: "Why are you walking ahead?"

Not long after, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang also came to Ningguo Mansion. The children went back after worshiping Mrs. Zheng, while Zhang Rui stayed here to comfort Jia Zhen: "No one wants such a thing to happen, so don't be too sad. .”

Jia Zhen smiled wryly: "Actually, the imperial physician said that if the mother insists on giving birth to this child, it may affect her life expectancy. It's just that the father persuaded the mother to keep the child. We didn't expect that she would leave us as soon as she gave birth."

Zhang Rui didn't know if it was really a huge thing to disregard her own life and continue another life, but, "Since your mother chooses this way, I don't think she will regret it."

Looking around again, he saw Jia Zhen Anyang and their eldest son Jia Rong, so he asked him, "Where's your father?"

"Father..." Jia Zhen sighed and said, "He has been silent since mother passed away. After mother's funeral, father has been guarding in front of mother's grave and never returned home. Seeing that he has lost a lot of weight, We have nothing to do."

"Then I'll go see him tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he added, "Take me to see your sister."

When they arrived at the courtyard of Jia Zhen and his wife, Anyang carried the child out, and Zhang Rui took it and held it in his arms. Seeing the child's carefree appearance, he couldn't help sighing again: "What do you want to call it?" Got a name?"

"My mother asked my father to name her before she was alive, and it was called Jia Qiong."

"Jia Qiong, it's very nice." Touching the child's lanugo, he asked, "Has your father seen this child?"

Jia Zhen shook her head, "Father didn't look at Qiong'er after she was born, and later lived directly next to her mother's tomb, so Anyang took care of her."

"This child is so innocent, I have to tell her in the future that she is a child loved by her mother."

……

Back at the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Zhang had already invited the imperial physician to check Jia Min's pulse. The child was fine. After a night of rest, she could hardly get up the next morning. It was almost noon before she sat in a carriage with Jia Zhen. out the door.

Arriving in front of Zheng's tomb, Zhang Rui still couldn't believe the gray-haired Jia Jing, and asked Jia Zhen with wide eyes, "Why is your father...?"

Jia Zhen closed her eyes and lowered her head, unable to bear to look at her father, "Father's hair turned gray overnight."

Zhang Rui has never seen a person with such deep emotions from the beginning to the end of his life. Standing behind Jia Jing for a while, he couldn't move no matter what. She originally wanted to comfort him, but now she hesitated.

There are always some emotions in this world that others can't understand. She hasn't experienced it herself. She can lightly say that she wants to cheer up for the child and the people who care about him, but outsiders don't know how sad the person is.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui walked over to Jia Jing and knelt down on the futon, patted Jia Jing on the shoulder, and said, "My niece and daughter-in-law love you so much, you should remember it." He didn't say a word of other words of persuasion.

Jia Jing has heard a lot of comforting words during this period, but he didn't expect that only the aunt who just came back didn't say those words that made him feel more uncomfortable, so he couldn't help crying "Woo..." and started to hold back, slowly Slowly began to cry.

"Auntie, I hate in my heart. I hate that I let my wife get pregnant at such an age. I hate that I didn't stay with her when she was pregnant. I also hate that I complain in my heart about a newborn child. I am such a A worthless person doesn't deserve her affection!" Jia Jing knew that it was wrong for him to vent his anger, but he couldn't control himself, so he could only choose to embarrass himself.

It is rare for Jia Jing to be able to release her emotions. Although it is sad to watch, both she and Jia Zhen are relieved a lot, and they also breathe a sigh of relief.

After crying for a long time, Jia Jing gradually stopped, knelt in front of his wife's grave, and said quietly: "I am separated from her now, and I don't care about fame and fortune. I will stay here to accompany her in the future, so that she will not be lonely down here."
