————————————————————

Because Jiafu received the provincial progeny on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month, the whole house became more and more idle day and night, and the year was not good. What's more, Jia Lian and his wife rushed to work abroad after the New Year, and Jia Lian and his wife were so busy that they didn't even have the opportunity to go outside the city to see Daiyu.

Since the eighth day of the first month, some eunuchs have come out to see the direction first: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retreat. There are also patrols of the local prime minister guarding the eunuchs, etc., bringing many small eunuchs out, guarding everywhere, blocking the fence, instructing the personnel of the Jia house where to retreat, where to kneel, where to eat, where to post, all kinds of rituals are different.

Outside, there were officials from the Ministry of Industry and soldiers from the five cities to clean the streets and chase away idlers. Jia Yu and other superintendents led craftsmen to make lanterns, fireworks, etc., and by the 14th, they had all stopped. This night, I never slept up and down.

On the fifteenth day and five drums, since Jia's mother and other knights, they all wear and make up according to the quality. Everywhere in the park, the tent dances the dragon, the curtain flies and the phoenix, the gold and silver shine, the jewelry competes for brilliance, the incense of the lily is burned, the stamen of the bottle is inserted into the periwinkle, and no one coughs quietly. Jia Yu and others were outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu and others were outside the gate of the General's Mansion. The streets and alleys are surrounded by fences.

Who knows that Yuanchun can not go out of the palace immediately, you have to wait until the first moment to have dinner, not the second moment to the Baoling Palace to worship the Buddha, you first carved into the Daming Palace to receive the banquet to see the lantern party to ask for the order, the first time to return to the queen mother to get up and go out of the palace.

Wang Xifeng had to take care of the affairs in the garden, and let Mrs. Jia and others go back to the room to rest, Jia Lian was okay over there, after all, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others were all there at this time, and he didn't need to be busy with anything, but in the end, he couldn't leave, and went out of the city to visit Daiyu, so he had to quietly wait for Concubine Xiande to return to the province.

This is the real sense of Daiyu spending the festival alone, no matter what happened in previous years, Jia Lian or Huang Jiyun would at least come to visit her. But today Jia Lian was busy with the matter of returning to the province, and Huang Jiyun was also called to the palace by the emperor, I don't know what the two were discussing in the imperial study, and when they left the palace, Yuan Chun had already gotten up and returned to the province.

Although she was a little cold, Daiyu didn't care, she only picked out her self-brewed Baihua wine and Baiguo wine, and sent them to Wujun Wangfu and Huangfu, and even the palace also sent ten bottles each.

The concubines left the palace and returned to the province, which made the emperor and queen in the palace more warm. The queen got the wine sent by Daiyu, and she was so happy that she invited the emperor and the prince to come and taste it. The emperor tasted two bites, and then complained that Daiyu was too stingy, and that appearance actually caused Han Yu and the queen to laugh for a while. If Chengde hadn't taken care of this identity, I'm afraid he would have laughed out loud.

used to live in the city, every Lantern Festival, Daiyu would always order the girls to go to the street to play, but now it is far away from the city. So he sent the maids to take the children who were studying in the village together, and tied the lanterns themselves along the street fruit trees outside the village, hanging them next to each other, although these lanterns are not very exquisite, but they are quite interesting.

Mama Yang put a hood on Daiyu, hung a veil, and accompanied by a smile and Zhixuan, led her eleven big and small maids, as well as Jing'er and Yuncui, out of Zhuangzi together, and Aunt Luo also came out with Xiu'er, Xian'er and Zhilan. Even Miaoyu also rushed over after dinner.

The belt of fruit trees on the street one or two miles outside the village gate is full of all kinds of lanterns, the small ones are only the size of fists, but the big ones are not smaller than the basin. From a distance, it looks like a ribbon of light, under the starry sky and bright moon, the lanterns shine among the branches like stars, and the sky and the ground reflect each other, which is simply beautiful.

Daiyu, who was accustomed to seeing neon in her previous life, felt that this lantern was many times more beautiful than that neon at this time, especially in this ink-like night sky, and a bright moon with a faint silver glow.

In this cold winter, Song Shi and Zhang Zheng, two old housekeepers, led a dozen old servants and rough envoys-in-law, guarding a group of girls like flowers and jade, and spent a simple and comfortable New Year in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital.

Daiyu is warm here, but Jiafu is turned on his back at this time, not to mention that Jia Yu is busy taking office, that Wang Xifeng fainted on the spot after sending Yuan Chun away, and saw red, and invited the usual Wang Tai Doctor of Jiafu to take a look at the pulse, saying that it was overworked, and the fetal gas was moved, and now there are signs of slippery tires, and he must stay in bed to recuperate.

Jia Yu was both happy and worried when he learned about it, and the joy was that he said that he was not going to add another eldest grandson, and the worry was naturally Wang Xifeng's current situation, so he naturally couldn't take Jia Lian and his family to take office anymore, and he didn't know how to choose for a while. But Jia Lian was angry, and scolded the second room in his heart.

After Wang Xifeng woke up, he lay on the bed and learned that he was pregnant, and he almost slipped again, and his heart was even more panicked. Mrs. Xing was also anxious when she watched from the sidelines, especially no matter what happened to Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, Jia Yu had to leave for her post on the second day, and she was bound to go with Jia Yu.

Looking at Wang Xifeng's somewhat pale face, Mrs. Xing struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I went back to my lord, stay in the mansion to take care of you, don't worry too much." ”

Wang Xifeng didn't expect Mrs. Xing to say such a thing, so she shook her head without thinking about it and said, "Where is it here?" He said with a strong smile: "It's not a big deal, I'll just pay attention to it myself in the future, my father's side can't be separated from my mother." Besides, isn't there still a master? ”

Mrs. Xing frowned and looked at Wang Xifeng and said tentatively: "Lian'er is a big man, what's the use of staying?" It's better to let him follow the master to his post, so that he can still help the master, and it is only right for me to stay and take care of you and the children. ”

When Wang Xifeng heard that Jia Lian was going to follow Jia Yu to the post alone, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought about it, but he also understood what Mrs. Xing meant. For a while, I was even more entangled in my heart, and I didn't know what to do.

Ping'er walked in at this time with Sister Qiao'er in her arms, Sister Qiao'er, who is more than a year old, looks so cute, Wang Xifeng didn't know what to think, holding on to her flat abdomen, looking at Sister Qiao'er and shedding tears.

Sister Qiao'er was startled when she saw this, and she cried as soon as she wow, and Ping'er and Mrs. Xing were also in a hurry, comforting Sister Qiao'er on the one hand, and comforting Wang Xifeng on the other, but Wang Xifeng quickly cleaned up her mood, stood up, and rubbed Sister Qiao'er in her arms for a while, so as to stop Sister Qiao'er's tears.

Wang Xifeng stared at Sister Qiao'er for a long time, and played with her for a while, Ping'er saw that Wang Xifeng was already tired, so she hugged Sister Qiao'er out.

After Sister Qiao left, Wang Xifeng was ruthless, looked at Mrs. Xing and said, "If the daughter-in-law asks her mother, her mother will never agree." Mrs. Xing didn't know what Wang Xifeng was doing, but she was so solemn, so she didn't dare to accept it easily, and hurriedly asked: "Our mother and daughter have been together all these years, and you also know about me, if there is anything, you can just say it." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xing finished speaking, who knew that Wang Xifeng was actually in tears, and Mrs. Xing was so shocked that she suddenly didn't know what to do, and hurriedly asked, "Feng'er, what's wrong?" If there's anything, just tell me, don't cry at this time, you don't have to hurt your body. ”

Wang Xifeng tried his best to stabilize his mind, but he still couldn't help crying: "Feng'er begged her mother, took Brother Chun and Sister Qiao to follow her father to take office, and the salutes were all cleaned up." As he spoke, he wiped his tears, smiled and looked at happiness: "With my mother taking care of my brother and sister, my father and I are relieved." ”

Mrs. Xing looked sad for a while, but she didn't know what to say, and hesitated for a long time and said: "It's useless for you to tell me about this, you have to discuss it with Lian'er and the master, and Brother Chun'er is still four years old when he sees it, but Sister Qiao'er is only more than a year old, are you willing to do it?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Xing finished speaking, Wang Xifeng cried out, and Mrs. Xing was heartbroken for a moment and held her in her arms.

When Jia Lian came in, he saw Mrs. Xing frowning, and she didn't know what to do to hug Wang Xifeng, who was crying. Jia Lian was also anxious at this time, and had just agreed with Jia Yu to go to work tomorrow, when he came back at this time, he was immediately panicked when he saw such a scene, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" But what happened? ”

Hearing Jia Lian's voice, Wang Xifeng Fang raised his head from Mrs. Xing's arms, only to see a pale and haggard face, but a pair of eyes were red. Jia Lian was also heartbroken when he saw it, and he didn't care that Mrs. Xing was still on the side, so he sat on the edge of the bed, took Wang Xifeng's hand, and asked softly, "But it's uncomfortable there?" ”

Mrs. Xing didn't care about the clothes that were wet with Wang Xifeng's tears, so she told Wang Xifeng's previous proposal, Wang Xifeng heard Mrs. Xing's words, and didn't dare to look at Jia Lian's eyes, so she lowered her head, so she didn't see the heartache in Jia Lian's eyes that couldn't be concealed.

After listening to Mrs. Xing's words, Jia Lian stabilized his mind and looked at Wang Xifeng silently, how could he not know what Wang Xifeng was worried about? After a while, Jia Lian nodded and said, "In this case, let's do it according to Feng'er's wishes, my mother will bring Hongxiu's family with her, and then bring my grandmother and brother to the two rooms, so I can take care of it." ”

After speaking, Jia Lian thought for a while and added: "Brother Chun sees that he will reach the age of enlightenment next year, if it is possible for Hongxiu's family to accompany Brother Chun to go south and go to school in the Lin Family Academy, I will feel a lot more relieved." ”

Mrs. Xing didn't expect that Jia Lian agreed and said such a thing again, and she couldn't help but feel a very bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "But what's the matter in the house?" Or are you hiding something from me? ”

Seeing that Jia Lian looked at herself and didn't answer, Mrs. Xing hurriedly turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng, her eyes widened, her eyes were full of anxiety, and she trembled slightly and said, "You are not allowed to hide it from me!" If not," Mrs. Xing paused and made up her mind before saying, "No, this kid doesn't want it, you have to go with me!" ”

As soon as Mrs. Xing's words came out, Jia Lian was also shocked, and Wang Xifeng subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hands. Wang Xifeng took a while to recover and said softly: "What's the matter?" After all, no matter what the future holds, we have arranged the two children and entrusted them to their mother and sister, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

When Wang Xifeng said this, he looked down at his stomach again, and said with some sadness: "I don't know what this child's life is......"

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly reassured: "It's not a big deal, the house is already like this now, fortunately, the girl has been married, and it is good for my mother to take Brother Cong and Brother Chun to go to work with my father together, and I will study with peace of mind at that time, and when you get better, I can't say that I can take you to Dengzhou for a tour." ”

Although Wang Xifeng explained that he knew that Jia Lian was comforting himself, he laughed out loud, nodded and said, "Just remember what you promised me." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Xing and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry, the people around Brother Chun's brothers and sisters have been carefully selected, which is extremely appropriate." When I am better, I will follow my father to see you. ”

Regardless of whether Jia Lian and his family were willing to do so, and no matter what kind of mood Jia Yu was in holding Brother Chun at this time, Jia Lian and his entourage were on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and with Sister Qiao'er's heartless laughter, they embarked on the road to Dengzhou.
