Chapter 373 The End of Life Four Watches
The fourth update.
And, tomorrow's three watches, the first one at 10 o'clock in the morning.
On April 16, the moon was shining.
Zhen Xuan opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the curtain, and it took a long time to recognize it. The curtain was stone blue, and this was the Eternal Dwelling, where she had lived for more than a month.
After thinking about it, Zhen Xuan turned over and was about to sleep again, vaguely feeling that something was wrong in her heart, and glanced at it again, and then she woke up.
She gave birth to a son at noon, and she was supposed to sleep in the delivery room in the west corner, but this curtain was obviously in the east room.
opened his mouth to want someone, his throat was dry and painful, so he had to raise his hand and lift the corner of the curtain.
Zhihua stood aside, heard a noise, and walked to the bedside: "Grandma woke up?" ”
Zhen Xuan pointed to his throat, held the painting, hung the curtain on the hook, went to pour hot tea, and waited for Zhen Xuan to drink.
Zhen Xuan looked around, if it was really in the east room, when was she moved back? She slept so soundly that she didn't notice it at all.
The painting observed carefully, and when he saw Zhen Xuan's puzzled face, he said with a smile: "In the evening, the second master asked Grandma to come over." Today, the ancestor is happy, and the spirit is good, leaving the second master in front of the meal, grandma and wait, the second master will come back in a while. Mother Wu took her brother to rest in the house at the north end of the East Chamber, adjacent to Sister Xi. ”
The painting made it clear what Zhen Xuan cared about, Zhen Xuan put her mind at ease, put a pillow on her neck, cleared her throat and said, "I'm a little hungry." ”
The voice is still hoarse and dry, but fortunately it is not so hot.
Zhihua nodded, went out and gave a few orders. He came in with the harp.
"Every house went to tell the good news. Chen's mother said. The old lady and her wife were so happy with the red eggs that they came to see their grandmother when they were in the third day. After saying with a smile, seeing Zhen Xuan's eyebrows and smiling, he asked, "Do you want to bring your brother over?" ”
Zhen Xuan ran out of strength during childbirth, and fell asleep before she could see the child, and nodded when she heard the words: "Bring them all." ”
The two nurses came with their children in their arms, and Zhen Xuan picked up her son. He was asleep, but his little hands were not honest, and when he moved, Zhen Xuan smiled, turned his head and kissed him.
Zhen Xuan looked at her daughter again, Sister Xi was squeamish, especially dependent on her parents, and now she has a younger brother, I don't know if she will be unaccustomed to it.
Let Sister Xi sit beside her, and Zhen Xuan hugged her and spoke. Sister Xi'er's interest was all on her younger brother, and her finger pointed at Brother Yun'er's nose. He pointed to Brother Yun'er's little hand again, and chuckled: "Hand, hand." ”
Sister Xi is recognizing the body parts, usually pointing to her and recognizing herself, but now she is all greeting Brother Yun.
Zhen Xuan asked her "feet", "hair", and "mouth", and Sister Xi pointed at Brother Yun and kept laughing.
This funny look amused the maids and nurses in the house.
Xia Yiqing came in around the screen, and saw Zhen Xuan holding Brother Yun and hugging Sister Xi playing energetically, her face was slightly white, and her bright eyes were full of smiles, which was particularly good-looking.
Sister Xi heard Xia Yiqing's footsteps, turned her head and stretched out her hands, and said in a milky voice: "Hug!" ”
Xia Yiqing bent the corners of her lips, hugged her daughter and sat on the edge of the bed.
Thinking that the couple had something to say, Bang Qin was about to take someone out when food was brought from the kitchen.
Xia Yiqing coaxed Sister Xi for a while, handed her over to the nurse, hugged Brother Yun and kissed her, and asked Mother Wu to take him back to sleep.
Zhen Xuan hadn't eaten for almost a day, and the kitchen sent them were all clear and restrained, and the piano was used by Zhen Xuan.
Xia Yiqing went to the clean room to freshen up, and when she came out, Zhen Xuan had almost eaten.
The piano and the painting were quickly packed up, and the rules retreated.
Xia Yiqing sat on the edge of the bed, holding Zhen Xuan's hand with one hand, caressing Zhen Xuan's forehead with the other, looking at each other silently for a long time, and each smiled.
Xia Yiqing leaned down and took Zhen Xuan's lips in her mouth, there was a wound on her red lips, which was not softer than usual, but when she thought of where this wound came from, Xia Yiqing only felt distressed.
Zhen Xuan didn't move, bearing his gentle kiss, his half-closed eyes saw the corners of his eyebrows and eyes close at hand, and his heart moved, his brother looked like him.
Knowing that Zhen Xuan's physical strength was not good, Xia Yiqing didn't dare to ask for too much, stretched out his body slightly, and said softly: "The ancestor has given the name, the left and the right are even, Brother Yun." ”
Zhen Xuan savored the name, smiled and nodded: "I finally didn't disappoint the old ancestor." ”
Xia Yiqing's eyes sank, Zhen Xuan was under a lot of pressure these days, she didn't say it explicitly, and he could feel it.
At that time, it was useless to comfort, and at this time, a thousand words could not describe the state of mind, and only one sentence was spit out in the middle of the ring: "Qi Niang, let you suffer." ”
Zhen Xuan was stunned, seeing that his eyes were sincere, and there was guilt and heartache in her deep feelings, she smiled and shook her head: "How can it not be hard to give birth to a child." ”
It's hard to have a child, and it's even more bitter to have a heart, but for the man in front of her, she is willing.
This night, Zhen Xuan leaned on Xia Yiqing's arms and slept very peacefully, and Xia Yiqing didn't wake up even when he got up at dawn.
The two children also slept very well, Sister Xi woke up and was taken by the nurse to play in the house, and Brother Yun ate milk in a half-asleep and fell asleep again.
For fear of disturbing them, the Changsheng Residence was extremely quiet.
When the Yun clan arrived, there was no movement in the ancestral house. She entered the east room lightly, and saw Xiang Xi wiping the Bogu frame, so she asked in a low voice, "The ancestor hasn't woken up yet?" ”
Xiang Xi smiled and bowed his head, and said softly: "I was happy yesterday, I said a lot, and today I am about to be tired." ”
For more than half a month, the ancestor has been sleeping until around noon, and the Yun family was not surprised when he heard this, so he walked to the curtain and listened to it, but there was no sound inside, and he still slept soundly.
Xiang Xi went in and out to do things, Yun leaned on the soft couch to read, and unconsciously arrived around noon.
There was still no sound in the bedroom, Mama Gui was a little uneasy, she gently called twice through the curtain, waited for a while, did not hear any response, she picked the curtain and went in.
Yun put down the book and stared thoughtfully at the swaying curtain.
There was a sudden popping sound inside, and the Yun family hurriedly got off the couch and called, "Mother Gui? ”
Xiang Xi and Yi Xi also sensed that something was wrong, called twice, and followed the Yun family, who was walking briskly inside, into the bedroom.
Sunlight pours in through the window, and the room is warm.
The bamboo-blue curtain fell, and the ancestor could be faintly seen asleep, and Mama Gui was sitting at the foot of the bed, her face covered with tears.
Everyone's hearts tugged.
Yun Shi felt like beating a drum, and he mustered up his courage, took three steps and two steps to the bed, and lifted the curtain.
Yun's feet were weak and he almost fell, but Xiang Xi could see clearly through the shaking curtain.
The old ancestor opened his eyes and didn't move, Xiang Xi crawled to the bed with his hands and feet, raised his hand tremblingly and tried the old ancestor's snort, there was no breath, and then touched the hand under the old ancestor's bedding, so cold that she pulled out her hand again.
Yi Yi didn't understand where he saw this scene, staggered out of the main house, crying and shouting: "The ancestor is dead!" ”
Heart-rending tears of regret spread throughout the Eternal Residence.
Zhiqi was waiting for Zhen Xuan to drink soup, suddenly hearing this sound, her hand shook, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, broken, and the hot soup wet the upper of her skirt, she didn't feel it at all, just looked out of the door in a daze.
Zhen Xuan was stunned, her mind was blank, and when she heard the movement outside getting louder and louder, she came back to her senses, and sat up violently, but was pressed back by Chen's mother, who rushed to hear the news.
"Grandma, you must not get out of bed, the first three grandmothers are here, and they have already gone to each room to deliver the message." Chen's mother couldn't help persuading, "I just gave birth to my brother yesterday, and I can't move in the past few days." ”
Zhen Xuan lay down on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
The voice and smile of the old ancestor hovered in her mind, the peace when she said the Buddhist scriptures, the love of holding Sister Xi as a child, the expectation when she stroked her belly, and the satisfaction and joy of the old ancestor holding Brother Yun when she did not see it with her own eyes.
Obviously I was fine yesterday, but I slept overnight.
I knew there would come a day from the beginning, but when it came, I was still shocked beyond words.
Why can't we give more time......
Fortunately, the third and fourth rooms were rushed back, fortunately, Xia Huanqing and Sister Xin were able to return to Yongzhou, but fortunately, she let the ancestors see the eldest grandson of the long-awaited house.
The ancestor walked peacefully, he should be satisfied, and he has no worries......
When the news got from each room, Gu was very sad, especially in Tingfeng Garden, because of the addition of Brother Yun, Zheng was wearing a red jacket today, beaming with joy, and when he got the letter, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went back to the house to change his filial piety clothes.
Changsheng Juli wants to be in the Mourning Hall, Zhen Xuan can't stay here for confinement, lying on the soft couch and being moved back to Tianyi Courtyard.
Zhen Xuan opened her eyes wide and looked at the immortal residence that had hung up the white silk, her chest was tight, and she finally cried.
Mrs. Zheng and the Zheng family changed the longevity clothes and combed the hair for the ancestor, but the ancestor's eyes were always open, and they didn't close it after stroking it several times.
Old Lady Zheng sighed and said to everyone: "The old ancestor is thinking about the eldest sister......
Outside the Xia Mansion, the steward was directing the little servant to replace the red lantern with a white lantern, several carriages stopped nearby, the curtain of the carriage was quickly lifted, and the old woman sitting inside stared at the white lantern for a moment, muttering, "Mother is gone?" ”
Xia Huixiang rushed into the Immortal Residence with a sigh of relief, without looking at the men and women who were kneeling inside the house and crying outside the house, and rushed to the spirit of the old ancestor: "Mother! Why don't you wait for me, don't wait for me! ”
The sound of wailing caused the already grieving children of the Xia family to fall to the ground and cry bitterly.
Xia Huixiang threw herself beside the ancestor, crying so much that she almost fainted, the children and grandchildren who accompanied her couldn't persuade her at all, and saw the ancestor with tears open, she trembled and covered the eyes of the ancestor with her old hand, just like when she was playing with her mother when she was young, she cried and said in a low voice: "Mother, I'm back, you can rest assured......"
When he moved his hand away, the old ancestor finally closed his eyes.
Xia Huixiang's body shook, lost his strength, and fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
