Chapter 450: You's delivery
The twenty-first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Xue Baochai, the daughter of Aunt Xue.
Wang Xifeng followed Jia Mu’s instructions, and as expected, she set up a wine show and put on a small show in the big flower hall behind Jia Mu’s courtyard.
After all, Baochai is just a young lady who has not yet left the court, and the customs of the times are not suitable for reckless manipulation. Apart from anything else, it is inconvenient to publicize just the birthday.
However, Rongguo Mansion has a large population and Wang Xifeng manages it, so although it only costs twenty or thirty taels of silver, it is still a lively and lively affair.
Jia Mu didn’t know whether she really liked Baochai, or because Baochai was the birthday girl today. Not only did she let Baochai sit next to her, but she would also ask about Baochai whether she was eating or ordering a show. meaning.
And Baochai was as sensible as ever, not self-centered and unfazed by favors and humiliations, which made Jia Mu even more happy.
Shi Xiangyun was also picked up by Jia Mu to play with yesterday. Seeing Jia Mu’s kindness towards Baochai, he pulled Jia Baoyu’s arm and said with a smile: “Look at the old lady, she has so many rare treasures. Sister, let me see, from now on, you are probably going to fall back."
Jia Baoyu also smiled and said: "She is such a good person, she can make old people My wife likes it, let alone let me go back one shot, even ten shots, I am willing to do so."
At this time, Baochai had just entered Beijing not long ago, and the sisters had not moved into the Grand View Garden. Daily companionship.
Because of this, Baochai and Jia Baoyu, two cousins, are not very close at all, and Baochai never said anything to advise Jia Baoyu to study and make progress! Therefore, Jia Baoyu also has full love and admiration for this cousin who is beautiful, intelligent, and well-rounded in dealing with people.
Therefore, he didn’t mind Xiangyun’s words. When he replied, he not only looked at Baochai on the other side of Jia’s mother with a happy face, but also ignored Xiangyun’s chattering and picked up the wine pot and wine glass. Then he went over to toast Baochai.
When Xiangyun saw Jia Baoyu ignoring her, the corner of her mouth pursed slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied, but then she put it behind her, tilted her head and pulled Tanchun Yingchun, who was watching the theater seriously, to talk.
"What a pity. I originally thought I could see Sister Lin when I came here, but who knew, her father also died!"
The Shi family and the Lin family had no contact, so that Shi Xiangyun only learned about Lin Ruhai's death and Daiyu's preparations to carry the coffin back home after he passed through Jia's residence.
When the whole table was full of people, everyone was laughing and cheering in their own way, the wife of the housekeeper came in and replied, saying that Grandma Dongfu Liyou was about to give birth.
Mrs. Jia Muwang and others were all shocked and hurriedly asked about the situation. They were all concerned when they learned that it was indeed the birth today.
Jia Muyin said to Mrs. Wang: "Go and see for yourself. If mother and son are safe, remember to send someone to report!" Mother Jia is still very concerned about the child in her belly.
Because as long as a boy grows up, he is destined to inherit the family business of Ningguo Mansion.
Although the title of Ningguo Mansion is still pending, and there is no news at all in the Zongren Mansion, at least the huge family property of Ningguo Mansion and the status of the eldest family member are of great significance to the entire Jia family. It is also very important to say.
So Mrs. Wang personally took some people and hurriedly took the car to Ningguo Mansion.
At the banquet, Aunt Xue saw that Jia Mu was a little absent-minded, and smiled deliberately: "Congratulations to the old lady, I have another great-grandson. The old lady's blessing is even more complete."
Jia Mu laughed when she heard this. Both houses respected her as their ancestor, and You's son was naturally her great-grandson.
So Jia Mu laughed and said: "It seems that today is a double happiness. It is the birthday of Bao Yatou and the birthday of the child.
Others Not to mention, this child obviously has some fate with Bao Yatou. In the future, he must recognize Bao Yatou as his biological aunt!"
As soon as Jia Mu said this, everyone at the table was shocked. It became a bit of a topic.
Especially the Sanchun sisters and Xiangyun, they immediately started talking happily.
There are between five and six hundred people in the two houses, so it is not surprising that they have the same birthday. But who cares about the servants’ birthdays? From a master's perspective, it would be rare for them to have the same birthday.
At least there is no serious master in the two houses.
Sister-in-law You has been in labor for so long. She didn’t give birth one day early and one day late. But she had to wait until Sister Bao’s birthday to give birth. Isn’t it fate?
Shi Xiangyun saw that Xichun was also smiling. He couldn't help but leaned over and poked her, and said with a smile: "Did you hear what the old lady just said? I want your nephew to recognize Sister Bao as his aunt. , you, my real aunt, are you going to step aside?"
Xichun listened and smiled slightly but did not answer.
Ever since her brother and eldest nephew caused those scandals, she was ashamed to recognize her identity as the eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion, and she never went over to see Youshi and Xiao Qinshi.
Today, I knew my little nephew was about to be born, so I was a little concerned.
It is impossible to describe in detail what everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was talking about. I can only say that after Mrs. Wang arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, she saw that everyone here was busy.
In the current situation of Ningguo Mansion, the importance of You's pregnancy is self-evident. There was no one in the entire Ningguo Mansion who didn't care.
Mrs. Wang also asked about some specific situations. Seeing that You Shi, Qin Keqing and others had made good arrangements, she calmly waited for news in the backyard room.
The process of giving birth is very painful and long-lasting. Mrs. Wang, who has already had three children, understands this.
After the sounds in the delivery room finally subsided, a baby's cry suddenly sounded. Even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stood up immediately and walked into the hospital.
At this time, there were many people inquiring about the news gathered in the courtyard. They were all approaching the main corridor. They watched Mrs. Wang coming and then got out of the way.
"Reply to my wife, she is a rich lady!"
Mrs. Wang looked shocked when she heard this, thinking, could this be God's will?
Jia Zheng had two sons, but Mrs. Wang only had one, Jia Baoyu. Therefore, in Mrs. Wang's heart, Jia Baoyu is her only support for the rest of her life.
So, although she really wanted her son to get the Ningguo Mansion's family property, she was very entangled and didn't want to lose this son, even in name only.
What’s more, because Jia Baoyu is the direct bloodline of Rongguo Mansion, not a recent branch of Ningguo, it would be a bit troublesome to let Jia Baoyu inherit the family.
But with the current strength gap between the two houses, and after she took the initiative to send a signal of reconciliation with Jia Lian. With Jia Mu, Yuan Chun, her, Jia Zheng and his wife, as well as Jia Lian and his wife, there are so many powerful people who are adding fuel to the flames, it is not difficult to force Jia Baoyu to inherit.
Although they will be criticized for a few reasons, they are enough to compensate the relevant people in Ningguo Mansion, so it will not be a problem.
Perhaps, this was one of the reasons why she subconsciously decided to give up her fantasy and please Jia Lian.
Because of such a very contradictory mentality, she thought, it would be better for Youshi to just give birth to a son, which would save her the trouble of weighing.
Who would have known that she would be a daughter?
It is naturally impossible for a daughter to inherit the Ningguo Mansion.
Could it be that God wants Baoyu to leave her and come here to take on the responsibility of the eldest daughter?
Mrs. Wang is a person who believes in fate. At this moment, the balance in her heart immediately tilted.
Not only Mrs. Wang, but also the women from other rooms of the Jia family who live nearby, as well as the housekeepers and daughters-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion, all gathered here, all had strange expressions on their faces. , obviously feel that the Ningguo Mansion, which has just been peaceful for a long time, is going to change again...
And Mrs. You, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and her daughter, who had been taken over by Youshi to accompany you, were all worried. Among them, the second sister You and the third sister You were okay. Old lady You had a look of disappointment on her face and almost sat down on the ground.
Mrs. Wang ignored them and entered the delivery room with a few people. However, she saw two midwives and five or six serving maids and servants in the delivery room, still busy.
"Madam, there seems to be another one in Grandma You's belly..."
What...
Mrs. Wang was shocked and looked After a moment of change, he took a look at Qin Keqing, Mrs. You, and a group of trusted servants and servants around You. He finally relented and waved his hand to make all the irrelevant people stand aside.
Without waiting too long, the experienced midwife quickly took out the second child.
At this time, Ms. You was almost unconscious from the pain. Madam You ignored her dignity and stepped forward to check the gender of the child with the midwife.
"The one with the handle! It's a boy, it's a boy! Hahahaha, okay, okay..."
Mrs. You laughed happily.
"Old lady, be careful, don't hurt the young master..."
"Oh, yes, yes, you should hug him better and wash him quickly, wash him Wash it quickly and wrap it up. It's too cold today, so we can't let him freeze."
"Brother, he's not crying yet..."
"Ah, still If you don't pinch his butt and soles quickly, how can you do it without crying? Come on, let me do it, I have given birth to two children, I have experience..."
Mrs. Wang beside her, silently Looking at the room full of happy people, and then looking at Youshi who had fainted after learning the gender of the child, she calmly asked Qin Keqing to take good care of her mother-in-law, and then led her people out.
Soon, the good news that You gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, quickly spread throughout the eight houses of the Jia family.
Some people are happy, some are jealous, but after all, the majority are happy, so even a small number of people who feel regretful do not dare to show it and say happy when they meet.
Ningguo Mansion, the housekeeper’s daughter-in-law and others began to prepare for the wedding banquet after asking the young mistress Qin Keqing for instructions...
