Chapter 238: Follow-up
When the news came, the girls in the Grand View Garden were guessing lantern riddles together, which were originally prepared by Jia's mother to the girls years ago, and were originally intended to be used at the Lantern Festival. Who knew that the news came out of the palace that it was an old lady who was not in good health, and the ladies in the palace all prayed for her to reduce her food and makeup, and this year's provincial relatives were gone. Originally, this lantern riddle was intended to be the same as last year, to have fun with the mother, but with this incident in advance, this year's lantern riddle assembly in Jiafu was not held.
But so many riddles can't be wasted. Therefore, the girls found a time to guess and play with everyone, and they lived up to their busyness. They also found Jiang Yan and several literate people, and there were more people and more lively.
At that time, they were all gathered in the autumn shuangzhai of Tanchun, and a mother-in-law ran in with a panicked face and said to Tanchun: "The girl is not good! I heard that the second grandmother is red. ”
Tanchun frowned and said, "What are you doing in a panic?" Who do you listen to? How's it going? Didn't the doctor come to see it a few years ago? ”
The other girls also put down their pens and papers, and gathered to listen to her with worried faces.
The woman said: "I also heard from the people in the courtyard that the imperial doctor has invited me over." I don't know the specific situation, but the second grandmother inside keeps shouting that her stomach hurts. The eldest lady and the eldest lady had already rushed over. ”
Everyone was suddenly in no mood to continue having fun, but this situation was not something that they could see at the house of the girls who had not yet left the pavilion, and they could only wait for news here.
Li Kun said to the others: "You go back first, and I'll go there to see the situation." ”
With that, he took the maid and left.
Wang Xifeng usually takes care of Jia Baoyu and the girls in terms of food and clothing, especially the newcomer Xing Xiuyan, last time Wang Xifeng saw her thin clothes and specially gave her some big sweaters, she also missed Wang Xifeng's care, and said that she would go back to pray for her.
As soon as other believers in Buddhism were reminded by her, they also said that they would go to incense and pray.
Jia Baoyu didn't believe this, but there was no other way but to go back and go back and forth in the house, and keep sending people to the front to listen to the news.
It is said that this matter is still hidden from Jia's mother, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand the news when she is old, and everyone is still lucky in their hearts, in case it is okay.
Although Jiang Yan and Wang Xifeng don't have much contact, it is also common, an acquaintance suddenly encounters this kind of thing, everyone is a little worried about her, and the atmosphere in the house is like this, and no one is still smiling at this time.
Except for Jia's mother's Rongqingtang to hide from her, it is still as usual, and the atmosphere is more lively in Aunt Zhao's place. Aunt Zhao's curse has been given to Wang Xifeng, and she has long wished that she was dead, and when she heard that she was popular, Aunt Zhao went back to the house first and laughed three times. It was too late for her to be happy, wishing she had gone with the piece of meat in her belly, worried about a fart. But fortunately, she still has a bit of brains, she is secretly having fun, and she still has to pretend to be worried in front of people.
Wang Xifeng's stomach hurt for a long time, and he slipped off a six- or seven-month-old male fetus, Jia Lian almost couldn't stand when he saw the fetus that had already taken shape, he was twenty-eight years old, and he had a daughter under his knees, and he didn't know how long he had been looking forward to this child, and now it was so gone!
Jia Lian grabbed Imperial Physician Wang with red eyes, "Why is this child gone?!" Didn't you say everything was okay before? ”
Imperial Physician Wang's whole person was raised, but he saw a lot of this kind of thing, and his tone was not messed up, he only said: "The second grandmother was quite stable before, but the second grandmother was already lacking in qi and blood, overworked in the past, worked too hard and thought deeply, and her body was a little lost, if you can take good care of it, it's okay, but ......"
He didn't finish his words, Jia Lian already understood that the matters before and after the New Year were all handled by Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang just had an idea, and she had to tell people to do it, and the New Year's gift list, guest banquet list, etc. were also looking for her, and for more than two months before the New Year, there was no day to spare. is so busy, her body is not very good, she is just holding on in one breath on weekdays, but now she can't hold on, and the first thing to suffer is the child.
Mrs. Wang and the others saw Jia Lian's movements in the room, and hurriedly ordered the maids to step forward and pull him down, and asked people to apologize to Imperial Doctor Wang, and politely sent him away.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing comforted Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, "This child has no fate with you, you are still young, take good care of your body, and the child will have it in the future." ”
Jia Lian responded a few times in despair, and Mrs. Wang and the others left when they saw him like this, so it was better for him to think quietly.
In ancient times, the rate of premature children was already high, not to mention those who were not born. Mrs. Wang, they don't know how many times they have seen a miscarriage at their age, so they just sighed twice. But Jia Lian faced this kind of thing for the first time, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
He remembered that the imperial doctor said that it was because of his mother's weak health that the child would be gone, and he complained that she didn't care about her own body, could housework still be more important than their children? But looking at Wang Xifeng's sallow face, he couldn't say anything. He hated himself for not paying attention, no matter how many things were outside during the Chinese New Year, couldn't he tell this snack?
He didn't know who to scold, so he could only sit in the room and look at Wang Xifeng, who had fallen asleep, in a daze.
The child is gone, and this matter can't be hidden from Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang can only tell Jia's mother the bad news if she is reluctant.
The room was silent for a while, and everyone looked at Jia's mother's face carefully, only to see that she was stunned for a moment, sighed long, and said "Got it", so she asked the mandarin duck to prepare all kinds of medicinal materials to replenish the body, and sent them to Wang Xifeng, and asked her to say, "Don't worry about everything, take care of your body." ”
The mandarin duck took the order, but Jia's mother still didn't look good, Wang Xifeng was her favorite granddaughter-in-law, and the son in her belly was Jia Lian's son who had been looking forward to for so many years, this blow can't be said to be big. But Jia's mother's husband, daughter, and son-in-law were all sent away, and the bigger blows were all experienced, but they were not as sad as they feared, and they recovered in the afternoon.
Everyone knows that Wang Xifeng is sorry for her when she loses a male fetus, but they know how much medicine Wang Xifeng drank to nourish her body in order to get a son, although she is so strong and doesn't want people to know, but what secrets can there be in this Jia Mansion, the medicine scum can't be hidden from people.
It is always sympathetic for a woman to have no children, but everyone also doesn't understand Wang Xifeng, she can't be a director when she sits in a small confinement, why do you let Ping'er go to Mrs. Wang to take care of this and that?
