Chapter 25: The Second Son is born
Not long after Zhang Erzhen came out of Yilan Courtyard, he heard the voice of Luliu telling the little maid to ask the midwife, Jin's pregnancy was ten months, and she was finally going to give birth. Zhang Erzhen hurriedly went back again, and saw Jin lying on the couch* with beads of sweat on his forehead. When Jin saw Zhang Erzhen, he said angrily: "Who allowed you to come, Mingyue, quickly pull the girl out, the delivery room is filthy and you can't enter." Zhang Erzhen was rarely moved, obediently went out of the inner room, and instructed Hongliu to prepare hot water in the main hall. The tools for production were prepared early in the morning, and they had been shelved on the edge of the Kim family's collapse, and now they were just waiting for the midwife to come.
The midwife was still Granny Bian when Tang's gave birth, she came in with the green willow, and she didn't look at Zhang Erzhen who was sitting in the main hall, and plunged into the inner room. Zhang Erzhen only heard Kim's pain and screams, and his hand clutched the cup tightly. In ancient times, giving birth to a child was to step into the ghost gate with one foot, and whether you accept it or not depends on whether the king of Yama is happy or not. After a while, Zhang Luan came, and when he saw Zhang Erzhen, he kicked her out, and he stood in the small courtyard of Yilan Courtyard with Zhang Erzhen, pacing back and forth very nervously.
It was not easy for the Jin family to conceive this baby, first experienced waterlogging, then famine, Zhang Erzhen's accident, and Zhang Luan's stay in office had a bad impact on her. At this time, she was already shouting without strength, sweat soaked the pillow, and Granny Bian, who was watching, was frightened for a while, and said eagerly: "Madam, hold on! If you don't work hard, the child won't be able to get down!"
Zhang Luan and Zhang Erzhen, who were listening outside, beat the drums in their hearts, but they were helpless. Zhang Erzhen has never been in contact with giving birth, she doesn't understand at all, she anxiously pulled the handkerchief to find a way, after a while, she shouted to the inner room with her throat: "Mother, think about He'er, he is only three years old, if you leave, what if He'er is bullied! Mother, listen, He'er is crying! He's crying!"
Jin was already a little unconscious, and she was a little sober when she heard Zhang Erzhen's words, she couldn't fall down, she still had a son waiting for her! Lu Liu hurriedly brought the water soaked in ginseng and fed it to the Jin family, and Granny Bian checked it and said, "Madam, if you are working hard, the little boy should come out." ”
It was really not easy for the Jin family to give birth to this womb, and when the cry sounded all over Yilan Courtyard, it was already on the willow tops of the moon.
"Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my wife, the joy of making Zhang, the joy of making Zhang. Kim smiled at the corners of his mouth and fainted. Zhang Luan stroked Jin's sweaty hair lovingly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
The second son of the Zhang family was born, and relatives, friends and neighbors sent congratulatory gifts. Some of the simple villagers gave a fat old hen and said that they could stew soup for their wives to drink, some took a big pig's leg and put it in a basket, and some filled it with new grain. Zhang Luan also accepted these simple intentions one by one, and instructed Uncle Zhang to prepare some exquisite snacks and fabrics as a return gift to the villagers.
"Master, my father sent someone with a letter, saying that Cha'er and Zhiniang were already on their way and would arrive in Guanghua in a few days. "Kim is slowly recuperating and is much better now. She took Zhang Yanling's hug, saw that her youngest son was smiling very satisfied, but she was a little dissatisfied with the content of the letter, and continued: "Cha'er is going to Shuntianfu for a scientific expedition, just come and see us, what is Zhiniang doing here, I didn't admire her when I didn't leave the cabinet, and now I don't know how happy I am if I can't see her." ”
Jin Zhiniang was born in the step-room, and the natural relationship with the Jin family is not much better. I came from afar, and I didn't know what I wanted to do.
Zhang Luan comforted his wife and said: "Brother Cha and my sister are coming, I welcome you, you don't have to think too much, after all, we won't live for long, we will treat you wholeheartedly." ”
Jin is unstable, and a woman's natural intuition tells her that nothing good will happen to Jin Zhiniang.
Zhang Erzhen's injuries have healed, and there are no scars on his hands and hands. Qi Lao Xiucai also returned from leave, and Zhang Erzhen started classes again.
Jin Rong and Jin Zhiniang arrived in a few days, and Zhang Luan instructed Uncle Zhang to take the servants to the county gate to pick them up, and soon welcomed them into the house. Zhang Erzhen was told by Jin's good life to look like a lady, so Zhang Erzhen wore a goose-yellow flower cage skirt embroidered with a little irise, a light cherry red small gauze coat on the outside, a small hairpin with fragrant jade inlaid silver on her head, a small silver-like butterfly hanging down, and jade beads hanging underneath, which looked well-behaved and cute. Jin was very satisfied with Zhang Erzhen's dress, and he also wore a set of water-red gauze skirts with a fiery red placket, which looked very festive.
"Zhen Zhen may not have seen her uncle for a long time, don't show your timidity later, your uncle likes you very much. Jin was afraid that Zhang Erzhen would lose her people, so she chattered endlessly.
Zhang Erzhen still remembers the big boy, who always shows his cute tiger teeth when he laughs, and he hasn't seen him for more than three years, and he still misses his little uncle very much. obediently responded to Kim's words and waited with his neck crossed.
Jin Rong and Jin Zhiniang followed Uncle Zhang into the house, and Jin Rong said in a loud voice: "Sister, my brother is here to disturb you." ”
Jin Zhiniang also blessed her body and said to her sister.
Jin Shi saw that his younger brother was no longer the child of the past, and said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, Cha'er has become a family, why didn't your daughter-in-law come with her and go to Beijing to serve you?"
Jin Rong helped Jin sit down and said, "She is pregnant, and it is inconvenient for her to go with me, so she stays at home." My father and mother also asked me to bring a lot of things to my sister, and my sister gave birth to Brother Yan this time, and my father and mother were very happy, and my brother was also happy for my sister. ”
"Last year, I didn't go to the flood to get married, and I haven't seen my younger siblings. After Jin finished speaking, he motioned to Zhang Erzhen and Zhang Heling to go over, and continued: "This is Zhenzhen, this is He'er, Yan'er is still sleeping, come on, I've seen my uncle." ”
Zhang Erzhen and Zhang Heling saluted together, and Jin seemed to have just remembered, and pointed to Jin Zhiniang on the side and said, "This is my aunt." ”
Zhang Erzhen deliberately looked at Jin Zhiniang's face when she saluted, and saw that her face seemed to be very tired, so she only responded lightly, took a silver-edged jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it to Zhang Erzhen, and then said to Zhang Heling: "Crane's gift Aunt has prepared, in the cage outside, and I will give it to you later." ”
"My sister doesn't have to be so polite, the child is not sensible, and I don't know how to thank me after receiving my aunt's meeting gift. If my sister is tired, let's go back to the courtyard to rest first, I have already asked someone to clean up the other courtyard. Green willow, take the lady with you. Lu Liu answered, Jin Zhiniang stood up, and went out.
Watching Jin Zhiniang leave, Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Why did my father ask you to bring her, isn't this blocking me." ”
Jin Rong wanted to speak, but when he saw the two children standing on the side wanting to speak and stopped, Jin said, "Zhen Zhen, take your brother and play by yourself." ”
Zhang Erzhen had already pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip, and although she was reluctant to hear the words, she didn't dare to make the Jin family unhappy at this time, so she led Zhang Heling away and quietly signaled Mingyue to stay and eavesdrop.
