The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 18: 7 Alive and 8 Dead

Years passed in a blink of an eye, and it was February [-]th, which was supposed to be Lin Daiyu's birthday, but the whole family was surrounded by Jia Min, and there was no time to celebrate Lin Daiyu's birthday. As a gift, let the chef add two more dishes for dinner.

In previous years, Jia Min would make a suit of clothes for Lin Daiyu herself. This year, Lin Daiyu repeatedly said that she didn't need her to worry about it, but Jia Min spent all day at home raising a baby, and was really bored, so she wanted to embroider a purse for her daughter.

Because of poor spirits, the purse was embroidered day after day. On February [-]th, the sun was about to sink, and there were still a few flowers in the purse that had not been embroidered. Jia Min became anxious and sat by the window. The former imperial concubine rushed to the couch and wanted to make it before dinner.

Today's weather is gloomy, which is very worrying. There is a folk saying that "if thunder strikes the heart of a hundred flowers, there will be no harvest". It is said that thunderstorms are taboo on the Flower God Festival, otherwise there will be no good harvest this year.But today Weiyang's dark clouds are overwhelming the city, making people feel heavy and gloomy.

Jia Min hurried on, and when he was about to embroider, he heard a loud "crack" sound, and a huge thunder from the sky struck down with lightning, just in time to strike a tree in the courtyard of Shensi Hall. The big banyan tree that looked like a canopy was scorched black, and the footsteps in the courtyard were chaotic and screaming endlessly.

Startled, Jia Min's embroidery needle stuck on her index finger, her heartbeat was uneasy, and her face was panicked. Nanny Cui rushed up to help her, unable to comfort her.Jia Min rubbed her chest with one hand and supported her stomach with the other. After a while, she cried out in despair, "Nurse, I, my stomach hurts so much!"

Cui Nanny took a closer look, and found that Jia Min's ivory white embroidered orchid-patterned homely clothes had fainted a pool of dark red, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and ask the midwife! Please doctor! Please come, master, master, and girl!"

The midwife's house was ready early, and they arrived within a short while, and the maids carried Jia Min into the delivery room.

Lin Hai, Lin Qu, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Qiong also arrived. Before entering the house, they were all shocked when they saw the scorched banyan tree in the yard, and suddenly felt an ominous feeling in their hearts. They looked at each other with bad expressions on their faces.

Lin Daiyu almost couldn't stand upright, almost paralyzed in Chunjing's arms, tremblingly said: "How is mother?"

Lin Qiong took her cold hand and comforted her: "Sister, don't be afraid, mother will be fine." After speaking, she realized that her comfort was very pale, so she kept silent, and only held Lin Daiyu's hand to lead her into the inner room to wait.

At this time, the sky was already raining with big beans, and there were bursts of thunder. I don't know how many people in Weiyang City were frightened.

Since Lin Qu entered the mansion, he has been taken care of by Lin Hai, his wife, and Lin Daiyu's sister and brother. The food and clothing costs are comparable to Lin Qiong's. No one treats him badly, so he is grateful.If Lin Xiang is also an idiot, although he used to hang out in the market, he was born with a chivalrous heart: if people treat him badly, he will repay them with all kinds of evils, and if they treat him a little bit kindly, they can also repay them with all kinds of kindness , so I have long regarded myself as the Lin family.Seeing Jia Min crying in pain in the delivery room, he wished that the surrogate mother would suffer. Seeing Lin Daiyu's pale face, he took her hand to comfort her.

Lin Hai was sitting upright on a carved nanmu official hat chair with four heads, his face was calm, his chest was already painful, his mouth was bitter, and he felt like he had fallen into a cold cave.He is a scholar, and he never believed in ghosts and fortune-telling, but today's celestial phenomenon clearly shows an ominous omen, even though he has seen the world, he can't help being frightened.

If it's just bad weather, Jia Min's health has been very poor since she was pregnant, and now the baby is only eight months old, and the fetus has "seven lives and eight deaths", so it's not worrying!

Lin Hai stayed for a while, then shouted: "Where is the doctor! Why hasn't he come yet!" He hurried back outside to call.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She knew that crying was useless, so she forced her back, but her whole body couldn't control the trembling.I thought that after being reborn, many things have changed, and my mother should be fine, but I can't escape this dead situation!Seeing Lin Daiyu's complexion as pale as paper, Lin Xiang hurriedly embraced her, and the three children hugged her into a ball.Lin Xiang and Lin Qiong had already shed tears, fearing that they would make Lin Daiyu cry again, they only bit their lips and held back their silence.

After a while, Zhang Xuzhi, Li Cui and other seven or eight doctors from Xinglin Hall all came in the rain at Li Cui's request, and three of them had white beard and hair, and they were trembling when they walked.Seeing this, Lin Hai rushed out to pick her up. The eight old doctors discussed for a while, but since Jia Min is a woman, they only went to the delivery room one by one to have a pulse check, and then discuss the countermeasures.

After looking, hearing and asking, Li Cui actually said that Jia Min had two fetuses in her womb!After another flurry, the doctors finally gave a solution.

Because the due date was not yet due, the doctor said that he would use a secret method to induce labor. Lin Hai agreed, saying that no matter the child, the adults would keep it. Several midwives cried: "Master, don't say that you will be protected. Madam's lips and tongue are green. This is a danger for both mother and child." Signs, you don't even have to choose who lives and who dies, you can only depend on the destiny!" The doctors also shook their heads and sighed.

As for Li Cui, who is known as a genius doctor, he has already lost all confidence in being hit by the Lin family, and he only said that he was resigned to fate.

This delivery lasted three or four hours, and everyone in the Lin family didn't even bother to have dinner, they just waited anxiously.The door of the delivery room opened and closed, the maids all hurriedly walked, the entire Shensi Hall was swaying, and blood was poured out in basins.In the delivery room, Jia Min uttered a weak sound, interspersed with the midwife's hoarse voice asking Jia Min to exert herself. After three or four hours, even ginseng could no longer give Jia Min more strength.

The entire mansion was already in a state of panic, let alone a night of continuous thunderstorms. In the whole mansion, the sound of wind, rain, thunder, shouts of maidservants, Jia Min's hissing, plus white lightning flashes from time to time, accompanied by dim yellow The bright lamps and the shadowy figures all over the room disturbed the minds of the Lin family father and son, and became a nightmare they dared not resort to for many years.

At the second quarter of Haizheng, Jia Min finally yelled exhaustedly. After a cup of tea, a midwife came out of the delivery room, knelt down and cried, "Master, Madam gave birth to a boy, but he lost his breath after he was born. It was actually suffocated in the womb."

Lin Hai was standing, but staggered, and almost fell to the ground, but was helped by someone nearby to stabilize his figure, and said anxiously: "Hold the child out, let the doctor see if it can be saved! Go and see See how Ma'am is doing!"

The midwife heard this, and ran into the delivery room in a hurry. When she came out, she carried a small baby in her arms. The baby was only the size of an adult's palm, and it was dead.

Li Cui came over in a hurry, seeing the pitiful appearance of the child, he couldn't help saying: "This old man has practiced medicine for decades, but he couldn't save a member of my younger brother's family. I am really ashamed!"

Lin Hai was also in tears.

The three brothers and sister Lin Daiyu hurried over to see the youngest brother. Lin Daiyu pulled Li Cui's sleeve and choked with sobs, "I just hope that the old genius doctor will stop doing nothing, and try to see if I can save my brother by any means!"

Hearing this, Li Cui took out a set of golden needles from his sleeve, untied the baby's mattress, and treated it with acupuncture. Everyone waited with bated breath.

After a while, the child was still not breathing. Li Cui saw that the golden acupuncture point was ineffective, and suddenly thought of a rural method that he had heard by chance when you were traveling. With grief, Li Cui lifted the baby's feet and slapped them hard with the palm of his hand. on the baby's ass.

Li Cui's actions caught people off guard, and he clapped his palms extremely hard. He had already clapped three or four palms before everyone tried to stop them. At this moment, the baby moved suddenly and let out a soft cry.

Everyone is overjoyed!Li Cui hurriedly took off the golden needle, wrapped the child again, and felt his pulse. Although the pulse was weak, the child was finally rescued!

After a while, the midwife came out again, this time holding another baby boy, who was also dead.This child was younger than his elder brother, no matter whether Li Cuijin acupunctured the acupoints or patted him upside down this time, he could not be revived.

There was another cry in the delivery room, and Nanny Cui ran out in embarrassment and knelt down and cried, "Master! Ma'am, she... has gone..." She is Jia Min's nanny. She watched Jia Min grow up and married her She gave birth to a child and lived around Jia Min all her life. To say something disrespectful to the master, Jia Min is her daughter. Now that her daughter is dead, she is like a mother who is sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man, crying so hard that she can't help herself.

When Lin Hai first heard the bad news, he rushed into the delivery room regardless of other people's obstruction. Lin Daiyu, Lin Xiang, and Lin Qiong followed closely behind.

It's a pity that Jia Min didn't even see her husband and children for the last time, so she died forever and returned to Jiuquan with hatred.
