Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 88 The Eve of Going to Beijing (3)

Then Granny Wen's voice mixed with Wang Xifeng's cries of pain, and after a while, Granny Wen suddenly said: "Quick! Get a clean cotton cloth for grandma to bite! Carefully bite your tongue."

Then she couldn't hear Wang Xifeng's cry of pain anymore, before hearing Wang Xifeng's shrill cry of pain, Daiyu was flustered, but now she couldn't hear it, and she became even more flustered.Daiyu squeezed her head towards Nanny Yang, only then could she faintly hear Wang Xifeng's humming.

Daiyu could squeeze past Nanny Yang, but Jia Lian couldn't, so she couldn't help wandering around the room again.

At this time, I only heard the mother-in-law in the house shouting again and again: "Grandma, work harder!" Shouted to Wang Xifeng: "Come on, sister-in-law!"

As if Jia Lian had seized the opportunity, she rushed towards the delivery room like an arrow. Nanny Yang had no choice but to let Daiyu go, and grabbed Jia Lian who was passing by, who knew that she caught this one, but missed that one!Daiyu seemed to be ready, bent over and slipped under Nanny Yang's arm.

As soon as Daiyu opened the curtain and stepped one foot in, she suddenly heard a loud cry of a baby coming from inside!Daiyu couldn't help standing on the spot, stunned. At this time, Nanny Yang had already realized it, and hurriedly pulled Daiyu beside her to watch over her.

Daiyu didn't resist any more, and quietly followed Nanny Yang to the side, but her tears fell like a broken thread.I can't tell what I feel at this moment.Sour, swelling, and joyful, and even more of the feeling of surviving after a catastrophe...

But Jia Lian burst into laughter after being stunned for a moment, and quickly shouted to the inside: "Hurry up and let me see!" "Hurry up and show me! Is it a son or a girl!"

After a while, Zhao Mama came out holding a child wrapped in a big red bundle, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Uncle! Congratulations, Uncle! It's a brother, grandma gave birth to a brother for Uncle!"

Jia Lian became even happier when she heard the smile, and hurriedly and carefully hugged the child, without looking at it, she said, "Reward! Everyone has a reward!" For a while, there were congratulations and thanks for the reward.

But Daiyu quietly entered the delivery room, and saw that the maids were still busy cleaning up the blood stains, Wang Xifeng was lying alone on the bed, the hairpin on her head had already been taken off, even her hair was already wet with sweat, her face was pale and slightly pale. Close your eyes.Daiyu didn't know if Wang Xifeng was asleep or what, she couldn't help but relax her steps a lot.

As soon as Daiyu arrived at the bedside, she saw Wang Xifeng opened her eyes and smiled weakly at her, and asked softly, "How is it, child?" Daiyu wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law, on becoming a mother! The child is fine, Brother is holding it!"

After hearing Daiyu's words, Wang Xifeng closed his eyes as if his wish had come true, and passed out.When Daiyu saw the tears dripping from the corners of Wang Xifeng's eyes, her whole body was in a bad mood. She grabbed a servant woman who was still cleaning up for Wang Xifeng and said, "Quick! Hurry up and invite Doctor Wang! Hurry up!"

Jia Lian and Nanny Yang were stunned when they heard Daiyu's panic-stricken voice outside the door. Everyone's attention was focused on the child just now, but no one noticed when Daiyu entered the delivery room.

Nanny Yang and Jia Lian couldn't help rushing into the delivery room, only to see Daiyu covering her mouth with one hand and holding Wang Xifeng with the other, her whole body trembling.Jia Lian couldn't help being startled, and hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with Feng'er?" Without waiting for Daiyu's answer, she shouted to the people next to her, "Quick! Go and call the doctor!"

Long before Daiyu called for Doctor, someone had already called for Doctor Wang.Dr. Wang lived in a side room in this courtyard, so he could hear all the movements here clearly.After hearing Daiyu's exclamation and Jia Lian's flustered voice, the originally calm expression became tense, and he came to the delivery bed in a few steps.

Not caring about the defenses of men and women, Doctor Wang grabbed Wang Xifeng's wrist and stroked it.Seeing that Dr. Wang was taking the pulse, the big guy couldn't help but stop, not daring to make a sound. At this time, Daiyu stared straight at Wang Xifeng with her big eyes, and was hugged gently by Nanny Yang. trembling.

After a while, Doctor Wang let go of Wang Xifeng's wrist, and bowed to Jia Lian with some embarrassment, "I just overstepped, please forgive me." Daiyu didn't want to hear what he said, and she didn't care about herself. With the identity of Miss Qianjin, she grabbed Doctor Wang's sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?!"

Daiyu's voice was trembling in a panic that Jia Lian had never heard before, and her eyes were full of panic.Seeing this, Dr. Wang was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said, "There is nothing serious about the parturient, she is just out of strength, rest..." Before Dr. Wang could finish speaking, Daiyu closed her eyes and passed out.

Seeing that Daiyu had fainted, not to mention Mother Yang, even Jia Lian panicked. They hurriedly sent Daiyu to the next room and invited Dr. Wang to come over for a pulse diagnosis.Doctor Wang naturally saw the status of this little girl in this mansion, but he couldn't. Who doesn't know the daughter of Gusu Lin's family?

After Dr. Wang took Daiyu's pulse through a brocade handkerchief, he smiled to the nervous people in the room: "Don't worry, Miss Lin is worried too much, coupled with nervousness, she suddenly relaxes at this moment, and she is full of energy and blood." Fainted for no reason. Go to sleep and wake up in the morning, I'm afraid you'll be fine." Hearing what Dr. Wang said, everyone was relieved.

When Daiyu woke up, it was already broad daylight, and the weather seemed to be fine, with the sun shining in through the leaves.But Daiyu was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty in the morning light.As soon as she lifted the quilt, she asked Jin'er, "Where is sister-in-law? What's the matter?"

Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Jin'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, Lian's grandma is fine, and so is my little brother." Then he asked someone to fetch water to wash Daiyu up.Daiyu washed up briefly and hurried to the delivery room, but was informed by Jin'er that Wang Xifeng had moved to the conservatory.

When Daiyu arrived, Jia Lian was standing by the side of the crib, looking contentedly at the little guy with his eyes closed and pecking his mouth.Wang Xifeng also had a happy smile on her face.Daiyu couldn't help being moved by such a peaceful scene.

As soon as Jia Lian looked up, he saw Daiyu standing by the door, so he smiled and said, "Come and see your nephew! Haha! Yu'er is an aunt!" Wang Xifeng was also very moved when he saw Daiyu. An'er had already told Wang Xifeng everything about her. When she saw Daiyu again, besides the sisterhood these days, her heart was full of emotions.

Daiyu was not pretentious, she walked gently to the side of the small rocking bed, and looked at the sleeping little guy, the fetal hair on his head was sparse and sparse, his eyebrows and eyes were soft, his mouth was pouting, As he kept moving, Daiyu involuntarily reached out and tapped his little mouth, but the little guy opened his mouth without opening his eyes to enclose Daiyu's fingertips.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and said to Wang Xifeng in surprise: "Sister-in-law, the little guy is hungry!" Mother Zhao felt relieved after saying this.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that today is Daiyu's tenth birthday.But Jia Lian did not forget. After watching Daiyu and Wang Xifeng tease the little guy for a while, Jia Lian took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to Daiyu, saying, "This is a birthday present for my sister." , I forgot before."

As soon as Jia Lian said that Daiyu remembered that it was her birthday today, she smiled and said, "Such a little guy is really destined to be with me. See, it's our birthday!" All raised up high.

When Jia Lian mentioned it, Wang Xifeng thought about it and laughed, "It's not because I'm so tired that my sister can't even celebrate her birthday. But this child is really destined for my sister. I heard from An'er that as soon as my sister opened the delivery room The door curtain, this little guy will come out." After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Because Jia Lian's family is now living in the Lin Mansion, and Lin Ruhai is in office again, so Xisan and the full moon are very simple, but Daiyu is very dignified.Most of Jia Lian's classmates came over to have the full moon wine.

The days passed like this day by day, and the weather became warmer and warmer. Wang Xifeng had already started to pack her things and prepared to go back to the capital, but Daiyu was still motionless as if she was waiting for something.

Until one day in April, Daiyu and Wang Xifeng were playing with the little guy who just turned over in the garden, and when they were having fun, Jiner came to report that Qiluo had returned.Wang Xifeng couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know why I haven't seen her, where did Yu'er send her?"

Daiyu didn't hide anything and said, "Don't you want to go back to the capital? During the New Year's Day, my father gave me the house deed of the capital as a New Year's gift, so I asked Qiluo to go back and tidy it up for me. Now that I'm back, I think it's packed Now, we are also preparing to go to Beijing. The little guy hasn't seen his grandparents yet~ I'm afraid the uncle and aunt are also panicking."

Sure enough, Qiluo has already renovated the old Lin family house in the capital, and some places have been rested according to Daiyu's wishes. Everything is ready, just waiting for Daiyu to go.

So Daiyu started to pack her things, Wang Xifeng thought it would take a long time, but Daiyu had already started packing, not to mention the valuables, even those ancient calligraphy and painting books Daiyu had already packed.Now there are only a few left that everyone is waiting to pack and seal.

After seven or eight days of busy work, Daiyu packed up everything.Only two people were left to guard the ancestral house.After discussing with Jia Lian, Daiyu decided to go to Lin Ruhai first.On April [-]th, Daiyu and her party went to Yangzhou by boat.

They stayed in Yangzhou for another five or six days. Firstly, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng for a stroll around Yangzhou City. Secondly, this time, we don't know when we will see each other again. Daiyu has something to explain to Lin Ruhai.Especially about Shiobiki.

On April 28, when Daiyu and Yang Fan headed north, Lin Ruhai also wrote a letter according to Daiyu's suggestion and sent it to the capital as soon as possible. It was a revolutionary suggestion.The distribution of salt quotations is no longer decided by the salt government, but by the salt merchants themselves.

In order to ensure the interests of the salt people, the government established the minimum guarantee for the salt people, and the salt tax was no longer collected by the government after the fact, but was paid in advance by the salt merchants in the form of bidding.As a result, the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Households has been greatly increased.

The fourth prince, who is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, knew this clearly. After sending someone to investigate, he learned that it was Daiyu who suggested it. He couldn't help being full of curiosity and affection for this little girl whom he had never met.
