Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

The winter solstice has passed, and the New Year is getting closer and closer.Yuehua wanted to make a good start during the Chinese New Year, but Jiang Yuan stopped her. She has such a big belly for more than seven months, how dare he make her worry about being busy, she'd better be careful.

Having said that, Yuehua listened to persuasion, but she still made preparations for sending her to Prince Rui's Mansion, Uncle Hongwu's Mansion, and Jingliu Academy.There is no shortage of money in these three places, and they don't love money, so the main gift is kindness.Everything else is the same as the previous year, just considering the difference of this year and adding some things, such as the sea cucumber and Jiang Yaozhu that Princess Liu likes to eat, this year I can give some more.Jiang Yan has a headache these days and needs to add some good Gastrodia elata.Jingliu Mountain is always a bit cold in winter. Last year, Jiang Yuan and Yuehua sent people to renovate the whole house in Jingliu Mountain, and brought the nearby hot springs to the academy to make the winter there much warmer.This year, Yuehua's idea is to invite a doctor with good medical skills to stay in the academy, so that it is convenient for the head, teachers, and students to see a doctor.As soon as the gift list is placed there, full of heart will be revealed from it. This is called gift giving.

The gifts for Concubine Jiang Shu couldn't be sent into the palace in boxes or carts, so they had to be put in brocade boxes and delivered by Yuehua herself.Jiang Yuan bought a set of four rhino horn cups, which are exquisitely decorated, precious and rare, and the most important thing is that they have high medicinal value.This thing cools and relieves heat, cools blood and shocks, and has mild medicinal properties. It is just right for Concubine Shu at her age.Yuehua asked for a string of beeswax bracelets, which were consecrated by the eminent monks of Wenshu Temple, and she worshiped and recited scriptures for a while, which was very effective.Concubine Shu was very happy after receiving it. She often used the set of rhino horn cups, and even wore the bracelet on her wrist to play with it from time to time.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor sealed the pen, and all the officials went home to celebrate the new year.On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuan went to Uncle Hongwu's house to worship his ancestors, and Jiang Yuan returned home and did not celebrate the New Year at his house. The heavier Yuehua was, the more he worried about letting her go out. It's better to go back and accompany her.It's really New Year's Eve, but Jiang Yuan and Yuehua have a good meal at home. Yuehua is too heavy to be tired, so there is no such thing as keeping the year old. They lie on the bed together, listening to the sound outside The crackling of burning firecrackers fell asleep.

Since the new year, the biggest thing for Jiang Yuan is of course his wife's birth, but for many families the most important thing is the election in February.If Jiang Yuan said that it would be a good thing to put a good girl in such a place where people cannibalize?At the beginning, Concubine Jiang Shu entered the palace to recruit the ten taels of silver given by the maid. If it weren't for Jiang Yan's life-saving money, you can see if she would have entered the palace, but now there are still people who send their daughters in.Both maids and officials in the palace are selected to enter the palace at the age of 13 to 15, and they can only go out of the palace to marry when they are 25 to 30 years old.Self-marriage is nonsense. In this era when girls are generally married and have children by the age of 25 or [-], and if they are not married, they will be punished by the government. Can a woman over [-] years old marry into a good family?Basically, it can only be used as a successor.

Although the Dajing Dynasty was relatively humane, retired court ladies could choose to go out of the palace to serve as nuns for officials, or they could go to the teaching workshop to manage official prostitutes or go to prison to look after female prisoners. It seemed that they were treated like national civil servants, but Not so.Although the Dajing Dynasty was relatively open to the people, there was no husband who could agree to his wife working in a teaching workshop or prison. As for nuns, it was a job of entering and leaving the inner house, and they were not allowed to go out easily, and the husband and wife were not allowed to live apart for a long time?So choosing this path basically eliminates the idea of ​​getting married.

As long as the family can survive, no one is willing to send their daughter to Xiaoxuan, but this Jia family is different.Mrs. Wang was full of thoughts of flying pheasants on branches and turning into phoenixes, and she was hoping that Jia Yuanchun could charm the emperor or some prince. It would be even better if she could send it to the eldest prince's residence.The eldest prince has always valued honor and honor, and her Yuanchun's birthday is so good, and her horoscope is even more first-class. She will definitely be liked by the eldest prince. When the eldest prince becomes the emperor, won't her Yuanchun family become a concubine?

On the first day of February, Yuehua was activated just after lunch, and was quickly helped by Fu Que and Xi Ke into the delivery room that had been prepared long ago. Mrs. Wen and the doctor had already made preparations and were just waiting for the baby to be born.

As soon as the housekeeper Li Da heard the letter, he quickly sent Qing Lian to the Ministry of War to find Jiang Yuan back. He was still worried, so he hurriedly sent his wife Li Da's family to guard in the backyard.

As soon as Jiang Yuan heard his wife's mobilization, he quickly explained the things at hand and rushed home with Qinglian. Rush to the delivery room.Then I thought about it, I don’t know if I have any deadly germs on my body, and there are no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs these days, it will be bad if I infect my wife.I can only direct the servants to boil water and prepare scissors, while I walk around the door of the delivery room.

The nanny saw Jiang Yuan turning around like this until she became dizzy, and hurried up to stop her, "Master Hou, this woman may take five or six hours to give birth to her first child, and now she has only activated half a child." Time, it's still early, I'm afraid the baby won't be born until midnight. If you have any official business, you might as well go to the study to deal with it first."

Jiang Yuan slapped his forehead, only remembering to be anxious, and forgot about this.As a post-[-]s generation, Jiang Yuan has seen something that post-[-]s generation has rarely seen - family planning brochures.I don’t know how much this stuff was distributed in Jiangyuan’s hometown in order to popularize the family planning policy. Many people read it as a pornographic book, just because there are such and such pictures in it.The things explained in it are basically similar to modern health education. From how to give birth to a fetus to how to give birth to a baby, it is mentioned that the birth canal needs to be opened before the baby can be delivered. It takes about ten hours to open the birth canal , that is, five or six hours, I blame him for being too anxious and forgetting about it.

Although he knew it was useless to be anxious, Jiang Yuan still didn't leave, he just moved a stool and sat in the yard waiting.He was still in the mood to arrange for the kitchen to cook some porridge, in case Yuehua was hungry or lacked physical strength, he would have something delicious to supplement.

Yuehua is very resilient, and knowing that her husband is guarding her outside the door, she is not afraid at all.Listening to what Wen Po said, she wiped her body with hot water while the birth canal was not open, and walked slowly around the room a few times to help the birth canal open.Before the time came, he quickly drank some porridge prepared by Jiang Yuan to make a cushion, so as not to lose his energy when he was about to give birth.

It has to be said that pain consumes a lot of energy, and thanks to the easy-to-reduce food that Jiang Yuan explained, otherwise, even if Yuehua has such a good body, she will be exhausted when she is born.After five hours of tossing like this, the birth canal was fully opened. As the amniotic fluid flowed out, the baby slowly moved down the birth canal, and the pain became more and more intense.

That Wen Po is an experienced woman, guiding Yuehua when she needs to use force and when she has to stop, for fear that she will tear her skin if she uses too much force.After tossing and tossing for more than half an hour, I finally saw the child's head.At this time, Yuehua was already numb from the pain, she couldn't feel the surrounding situation at all, she just felt her whole body suddenly loosened, something left her body, followed by the baby's loud cry.

The steady woman cut the umbilical cord, and hurriedly handed the baby to the waiting nanny, asking her to clean and wrap the baby, while she congratulated Yuehua repeatedly, "Congratulations princess, congratulations princess, you just gave birth to a little son, Those eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of the son-in-law!"

Finally, the placenta was delivered, and Yuehua felt weak all over her body. Although her abdomen still hurt, she was already exhausted. After taking a look at her wrapped son, Yuehua closed her eyes and fell asleep...

Hearing the crying of the baby in the room, Jiang Yuan couldn't sit still any longer, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door, he didn't feel relieved until the nanny came out holding the baby.The nanny said quickly: "Congratulations to Master Hou, the princess gave birth to a son, but doesn't he look exactly like Master Hou? Both mother and child are safe now."

Hearing that both the mother and the child are safe, Jiang Yuan felt relieved and took a look at the tightly wrapped son. The child's skin was red, and the skin on his face hadn't been stretched, so he couldn't see his appearance, but he just felt that the child His eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as his, but his face is more like Yuehua's. It seems to have gathered all the advantages of him and Yuehua. No matter how you look at it, you like it.

The happy result is just one word - reward!Anyway, he has money.From Wen Po to the boy who boiled the water outside, he was given a big reward, but he himself sneaked into the delivery room while no one was stopping him. As for the delivery room being unlucky, he would believe that kind of nonsense. In modern times, so many people enter the delivery room to accompany their wives to give birth The husbands of the children are all dead, and whoever loves my own wife knows...

Seeing that his wife was so tired that he fell asleep, he didn't dare to disturb him, and just kissed his wife lightly on the forehead.Yuehua, I'm tired of you, I will treat you better in the future, let's live a good life together...

Jiang Yuan's eldest son was born on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raised his head. This birthday sounds auspicious. Whether it is Prince Rui's Mansion, Hongwu Bo's Mansion or the palace, there are gifts and rewards. The pattern of the fat baby sitting on the lotus leaf and holding a carp on the bellyband looks so festive.

He was elated, but Jia's parting was bleak.The election is coming, Jia Yuanchun is about to enter the palace, why not let Mrs. Wang feel heartbroken, her daughter was taken away by the old lady just after she was born, and she has just brought her back to raise her for a few days before sending her to the palace again up.Although the palace is good, but my daughter Xiaoxuan can't be the main wife after entering the palace, even if the scenery is infinite, she won't have the chance to wear the phoenix coronet and Xiapei, even if she can't wear a red flower, how can she not make her feel sad? !

Jia's mother did not obstruct Yuan Chun's entry into the palace, and she also knew that the sons of the Jia family now had little hope, and her grandson, Jia Lian, was going to get married this year, and she also donated an empty title to the acquaintance, But he doesn't like to read, he just likes to mess around, so he probably can only stop on the same book in his life.Jia Zhu is a good person, but his health is getting weaker day by day, and his father will make a big noise after a short rest, forcing the child to study, and the result?A few days ago Zhu'er passed out, and only after she invited the imperial physician did she realize that she was almost exhausted, and if she found out later, she would not be saved. "He went out, and did not faint Mrs. Wang. Fortunately, Li Wan was pregnant and probably could have a baby.Baoyu was born with good omens, but she was too young to see anything.The whole family is so incompetent, don't they have to rely on women to compete for status?

Yuan Chun is a man of great fortune... The old lady can only anesthetize herself in this way.Ever since the matter of offering sacrifices to the fields broke out, she can no longer control her son and daughter-in-law. Anyway, the Rongguo Mansion will not collapse while she is alive, so let her be her old lord and live a good life.

It's ironic that the Duke's granddaughter entered the palace for a small election, but Yuan Chun managed to stay and was awarded the official position of a female historian.Speaking of an official position, this was not when Wu Zetian was in power. Such a false title has no right at all, it is just to control some court ladies, and it is not as useful as an imperial order if it is taken outside.One of the positions held by the female officials in Xiaoxuan is the prince's housekeeper. If you close the eyes of some concubine or concubine and open the golden mouth, won't this be rewarded to the princes, so the most important thing is to see Which empress will this female officer be sealed to?If you want to go to the First Prince, you will get the points from Concubine Zhen, how can other concubines point the palace maids to the First Prince?Even if it is given, people dare not accept it. Who knows if there is something tricky in it.

It's a pity that Concubine Rong Wei was in charge of this small election. As soon as she heard Jia Yuanchun's name, she said it was a good match. She immediately took Jia Yuanchun back, and then gave it to her son, the fifth prince Situ Yi.On the surface, it sounded good, but I felt that Yuan Chun's round face looked good at giving birth, and he bestowed his son with branches and leaves, so he didn't know what was going on inside.

When Jiang Yuan heard the reason, he couldn't hold back his joy, but Yuehua didn't know what he was happy about, so he hurried to ask.Jiang Yuan laughed so hard that he trembled, he took a breath and said: "I only heard that big breasts and big buttocks are good for fertility. What does this girl from the Jia family look like?" Then he couldn't stop laughing.

Yuehua was amused a few times when she heard it, even the son in her arms was happy.

Le Guile, at least let Jiang Yuan know who is Situ Sheng's confidant!That's right, if the third prince, Situ Cheng, had long since disappeared in this world, the prince lost his virtue, and the eldest prince, the fourth prince lost his sacred heart, then the fifth prince would be the rest... I didn't see it, it seems that some judgments made in the past Maybe this is the one who released the wind to anesthetize everyone. This person may be pretentious, but he is definitely not shallow, hum, but now the fox's tail has been exposed, let's see how he will deal with you!
