Aunt Zhao's happy life

In order to relieve Jia Zheng's boredom, Rui'er even learned how to write, grind ink, and Kunqu opera, and secretly hummed a few lines in private. In fact, she herself knew only a little about the libretto.

She also forced Jia Zheng to dye her nails, arrange her hair, and match her clothes.

Wang Shuhui was getting closer and closer to the day of giving birth. Her legs and feet were so swollen that she didn't have a pair of shoes to fit in. Rui'er was the best needleworker in Rongguo Mansion. make shoes.The mink fur Jia Zheng bought came back to Rui'er, but Rui'er was reluctant to use it, so she made two lying rabbits for Mrs. Wang.

Even the baby's small shoes, hats and clothes, inside and out, have made a lot.

Mrs. Wang's motherhood became more and more apparent, and she didn't know what to do with this woman she hated and liked at the same time.

Seeing Rui'er's hands with frostbite, Wang Shuhui said: "Forget it, just let those embroiderers do it. Girls and women are very busy, so don't be busy."

Ruier smiled and said, "Madam, do you know that I am most proud of my needlework, and the old lady also likes me the most. Now that I can do something for the baby, I am too happy!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Physician Wang said that the fetus looks good, but I should move more, so that the birth will be smoother and better for the baby. But it is cold and slippery outside, and my legs and feet are swollen. No, what should I do!"

Rui'er said: "I'll hold you by the arm!"

In order to make it easier for Wang Shuhui to move around, Rui'er, Chunlan, Xia He and the others moved all the furniture away to make a way, and cleaned the snow in the yard every day so that Mrs. Wang could walk around the yard.

Wang Shuhui was quite tall, but when she was about to give birth, she was almost twice the size of Rui'er, and Rui'er held her as if she was being held down by a mountain.Fortunately, Zhou Ling'er always ran to help in time. In the ice and snow, they were sweating from walking.

In order not to disturb Jia Zheng, Rui'er dealt with the maids and women patiently, held back when she got angry, and stopped showing her sharp edge.

Gradually, she is no longer the thorn in everyone's eyes, but everyone cannot do without such a smart partner.

Jia Zheng also often said: "I am very sorry for not being able to give you a title, and I feel so sorry for you!"

Ruier looked at him with a smile: "This is not your reason, as long as you have me in your heart, what does it matter if it is earlier or later?"

After Jia Daishan's death, Jia Amnesty inherited the title as the eldest son, which was expected by Jia Zheng.He is also hoping to gain fame and honor his ancestors with his own ability.So Jia Zheng is not as absurd and unruly as his father was when he was alive. No one restrains him. Instead, he is as diligent as a reborn.

Because of Mrs. Wang's pregnancy and Jia Daishan's death, the Rongguo Mansion had to deal with the Chinese New Year hastily.

When it came to the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Shi sighed and said, "I love to be lively all my life. Wouldn't I become a living dead if I was bored like this? Turn on all the lights. Although entertainment is not allowed, rice wine and venison must be brought out. It's too restrictive." It makes people uncomfortable, and the master will feel distressed when he sees it in the sky!"

So everyone in the entire family was busy making lanterns, and at night, the Rongguo Mansion was adorned with lanterns and festoons, and it was brilliant.

Rui'er climbed up and down the ladder to hang lanterns, and she didn't spare the fences on the trees.Jia Zheng held her hand that was red from the cold, and persuaded: "Changsheng and Fugui'er stood aside and watched, you are a girl up and down, what are you talking about? Let them hang up!" Rui'er beat her several times in a row A sneeze: "Oh, I really have a cold!"

The whole house happily ate venison, drank rice wine, guessed lantern riddles, and went out to watch the lanterns while the wine was hot.Jia Zheng said: "It's better to go to the street to see the lights. This place is still not interesting. You can go to the night market with me on the Lantern Festival next year and let you know what the city that never sleeps is! Tens of thousands of lotus lanterns are floating on the river together. There are all kinds of lanterns, such as monkeys, peonies, tigers, beauties, fortune-telling boys, and the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, it makes your eyes dazzle!"

Ruier smiled and said, "What if we get separated?"

Jia Zheng said, "Of course I'll go find you if I'm lost! If I can't find you, I won't come back until I find you!"

Rui'er wanted to say something, but Dongmei came running like flying: "Second Master! Second Master! I have been looking for you for a long time, why have you wandered so far? Go back!"

Jia Zheng asked, "What?"

Dongmei was so anxious that she couldn't speak fluently: "Madam is afraid that she is about to give birth, and she is rolling in pain. The old lady sent someone to call for Doctor Wang."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he and Rui'er hurried back.

As soon as I got to the back room, I saw Mrs. Wang's face was pale with pain, her face was distorted, struggling and crying on the bed.

Jia Zheng stepped forward: "Shuhui, how are you? The imperial doctor is coming soon!"

Mrs. Wang didn't have the energy to speak, she pulled the curtain with her hands, gritted her teeth, and her whole body was shaking.

Rui'er has never seen the scene of giving birth, so she was so anxious that she couldn't stop crying.Madam Wang's four companions were crying louder than the other. Zhou Ling'er shouted: "Why are you crying? Madam is giving birth to a happy event. I want to encourage Madam. Go do something serious!"

The people in the room were like ants on a hot pot. Suddenly, Chang Sheng shouted: "Physician Wang has gone to the palace for consultation. Fugui has gone to invite Dr. Feng. Dr. Feng's house is a little far away."

Jia Zheng clenched his fists: "Okay! Go to the door and wait. When he comes, just come in!"

After tossing and tossing until midnight, Madam Wang exclaimed: "Ah!" A stream of clear water flowed out, and a large area of ​​the bed was wet.The women all hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up! This is about to give birth! What's wrong with the doctor!"

Mrs. Shi looked around in the yard, shivering from the cold.

When everyone was at a loss, Dr. Feng finally came and said that it hadn't arrived yet, so we had to wait.

Jia Zheng urged, "Can we wait? She's dying!"

Mrs. Shi nodded and said: "The doctor has experience. It's too early and no matter how hard you work, you can only make Shuhui suffer more, hey!"

Mrs. Wang struggled, howled, and passed out.Waking up from the pain for a while, another round of struggle and collapse and crying, and falling into a coma again...

Until early in the morning, Dr. Feng said that it was time to deliver the baby. He took the two wives in together, and the rest waited in the suite outside. Everyone's heart was in their throats.

Accompanied by Mrs. Wang's screams, the sky gradually dawned, and a baby's cry broke the silence, and the small apartment was boiling!

Mrs. Shi looked inside and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Dr. Feng said: "It's a young master, fat and white, but his legs haven't come out yet, wait a little bit."

Soon, Dr. Feng shouted outside: "Come quickly, wrap up the young master, don't delay this winter!"

Rui'er rushed in first, took the prepared quilt, and wrapped the baby gently, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

At this time, Mrs. Shi and Jia Zheng also followed, and the rest of the people were only inquiring outside, not daring to go in without authorization.

Wang Shuhui passed out again, her thick winter clothes were soaked in sweat, her teeth were still biting her lips, her fingernails tore her palm, and her palms were bloody...

Mrs. Shi shed tears: "Shuhui has worked hard! For our Jia family, she almost lost her life!"

As a woman, looking at Mrs. Wang and the newborn, Rui'er couldn't stop crying: "Ma'am, it's not easy!"

Mrs. Shi hugged her grandson, eyes full of love: "No wonder his grandfather called Jia Zhu. You see, this child is so full at birth, the sky is full, the ground is round, isn't it like a pearl? Look at this nose, this Xiao Zui, these eyes, I have never seen such a beautiful child from birth!"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Your eyes are still closed, how can you tell that it looks good?"

Mrs. Shi said angrily, "It just looks good! It looks good even with your eyes closed!"

Dr. Feng laughed and said, "Young master is a blessing at first glance! He is the eldest son of the second master, and he is born with such extraordinary appearance. He will definitely be no worse than the Duke of the State in the future!"

Mrs. Shi loved hearing this, and rewarded Dr. Feng and the two accompanying wives heavily.

Since becoming a grandmother and losing her husband, Mrs. Shi was only the mother of Jia Zheng and Jia She, so gradually fewer and fewer people called her Mrs. Shi, and more and more people called her Mrs. Jia.

With Jia Zhu as a proud grandson, Jia's mother forgot half of the pain of losing her husband, and went to Rongxi Hall to see the baby and Wang Shuhui in person as soon as she woke up every day.

Because she was reborn as a noble son, Wang Shuhui's status was naturally much higher. Because Jia Zheng loved his son, he also remembered Wang Shuhui's achievements and treated her more politely.

The birth of a baby filled the entire Rongxi Hall with vitality.Because she loves Jia Zheng, Rui Er also loves his son deeply. She said: "When I saw his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are carved like yours, I couldn't help but love him!"

Rui'er made diapers and clothes for the baby day and night, fearing that they would not be dry in the winter, and that there would be no spring clothes when the weather was warm, and even worried until summer.

In order to let Mrs. Wang rest more, Zhou Ling'er always holds the baby by herself whenever the nurse brings the baby.Mrs. Wang's body was weak, Ling'er was afraid that she would be cold and hungry, so she didn't pay attention for a second.

When the spring comes, Wang Shuhui can already walk normally, and Jia Zhu, who put on a light spring dress, is even more delicate and cute, and everyone loves her.Jia Zheng couldn't help but take the child to Ningguo Mansion to show Jia Fu and Jia Jing them, and often invited his Qing Ke friends to sit at home, and every time he would bring Jia Zhu out for everyone to see, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do .

Rui'er's care and love for the child made Mrs. Wang gradually let go of her prejudices, but she was still on guard against her in her heart.Taking advantage of being favored by Jia Mu, she tentatively said: "Mom, when the family filial piety is passed at the end of the year, the people in the second master's room should also be selected. Ordinarily, they should be selected from my companion rooms, but The second master doesn't like any of them, and I don't want to force it. I know my mother likes Rui'er, and I think she's pretty good, but she's unsteady, and it doesn't seem appropriate, why don't you... change to Ling'er?"

Jia Mu smiled and said: "The Duke also chose Ling'er, but I refused. She is diligent, but too honest and dull. Zheng'er will not like it, and I don't like living with such a person. I choose Dear Rui'er, the Duke has no objection later, let's not change this matter!"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "But in the long run, it's a good thing for honest people to be stable and not cause trouble!"

Jia Mu waved her hand: "The end of the year is still far away, so don't be so anxious. If I have to make a decision now, I will definitely choose Rui'er, and I have no other preparations in mind."

Mrs. Wang was still not reconciled: "But Rui'er..."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Don't talk about it now!"
