Chapter 19: Separation

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month, Jia Min's fetus in the womb is full of three months, and the doctor has been invited to see it, saying that everything is normal, and the mother Li who is proficient in women's life and maintenance in the house also said that there is no obstacle to daily walking, so Jia Min began to prepare to go to Yangzhou to do something, because I don't know how many years to come back, and the family property and the descendants must have a proper placement.

First of all, the people who followed to Yangzhou, the four big girls around Jia Min, Qingping, Jielu, Xianyun, and Qiaoyun all followed, and the two grandmothers in the palace came to serve Jia Min's production, and they also had to follow. It's Mama Dou, one of the children is here to get married, she herself is old, and it is not suitable to travel long distances, and secondly, there are two grandmothers in the palace to take care of her, and it doesn't hurt if she doesn't go, so she stays in the capital. Mama Dou's eldest son Gu Tong was originally a housekeeper in the Lin Mansion, and this time he didn't go to Yangzhou with him, so he let him stay in the mansion, after all, relatives move around during the New Year's holidays, and a reliable person is also needed to do things everywhere in the palace, and let her daughter-in-law take care of the affairs of the inner house, clean up on time, and don't let it be wasted. Lin Ruhai, the guard at home, took some away at the beginning, and the rest of the girls and mothers-in-law in the house were asked one by one, and some were willing to follow, wanting to seek a future in front of the master, and there were also parents and mothers who were here, and they were unwilling to follow. Jia Min is all on the right one by one, needless to say, those who follow him, those who don't want to go, will not let him be separated, the family has children and those who have sold the death deed are still in the house as errands, the men are under the care of Gu Tong, and the women are under the care of Gu Tong's daughter-in-law. Those who signed for a few years were willing to redeem themselves, and Jia Min also rewarded a few taels of silver, which was also a full love for the master and servant.

As for the family property, of course, the gold and silver were all packed up, the ancestral house and the sacrificial field could not be moved, and the other shops Zhuangzi only left one or two shops with better returns and one of Jia Min's wedding Zhuangzi - managed by Jia Min's two-room dowry, and the others were also discounted and replaced with cash, in case Lin Ruhai needed to make some money and not get together, and it would not be cheap to think about it if it was far away.

After packing up like this for more than half a month, Fang sorted it out, loaded the ship one by one, chose an auspicious day, and prepared to set off. Jia Min has lived in the Lin Mansion for less than a year, and Lin Ruhai is not there, so he has limited feelings for the Lin Mansion, so he is reluctant to have his mother, brother and sister-in-law, and several nephews and nieces, so he has to live in the Jia Mansion for a day or two before leaving.

The Jia family currently has such a grandmother here, and she is married well, so they all attach great importance to it, Shi and Wang's needless to say, all the daughters-in-law and adult girls in the family have also found a reason to talk to Jia Min, and Jia Min also has gifts in return, she has always been quite generous, and now she wants to go, and she will not be stingy, but everyone takes care of it, although the relatives are distant and close, they are different, and it is another thought in the heart.

Jia Min lives in Shi's room, and she has to tease Baoyu from time to time, Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun were still young when they were young, and they have no impression, but now when they see Baoyu, they love it very much, and she also has a child in her belly, so she also adds a kind of sustenance to Baoyu.

I often hear the old people in the family say that children have clean eyes and can see many things that adults can't see, and some say that children can see the appearance of unborn babies.

Shi and Jia Min were also very happy about this, and often pointed to Jia Min's stomach and asked Baoyu: "Baoyu, do you say that the child in my aunt's belly is a younger brother or a younger sister?" ”

Baoyu will be five months, someone can sit for a while, the teeth in the mouth have not yet grown, but because of the teeth, the gums are always itchy, and I can't help but stuff everything I can get into my mouth, and if I am not careful, my saliva will flow all over the ground, and the people who follow him will wipe countless times a day, but fortunately, Baoyu is well-behaved and not noisy, and the person who takes him is also light.

Now Baoyu looked at Shi Shi and Jia Min with his mouth open, he clearly saw the expectation in the eyes of the two, and secretly thought to himself, this one must be his sister, I don't know if my aunt will be disappointed when she is born. I used to hear Sister Lin say that her father and mother loved her very much, and she didn't ignore her just because she was a girl, and it was the same this time.

In his previous life, he had never seen Jia Min, Daiyu was the first time he came to Jiafu when he was older, he was surprised when he first heard that Jia Min was pregnant, and now Jia Min is going to take his sister to Yangzhou, and his aunt and uncle have not been able to come back, only a few years later, Daiyu's parents died, and he came to his parents. Baoyu has the heart to do something, but he has no choice but to do nothing.

Jia Min saw that Baoyu was just staring at her belly, and smiled at Shi: "Mother, it seems that Baoyu likes this child very much, count the days, this child will be born in February next year, the difference between the two is less than a year old, it is the one who can play together, and when we come back in two years, we will ask him to play with Baoyu." Okay, Baoyu? Our Baoyu is going to be an elder brother. ”

The last sentence was addressed to Baoyu.

Shi said with a smile: "Yes, I gave birth to three of your brothers and sisters, I love you the most when I was young, when you got married, I also valued my uncle's family with few people, you married and became a family, you don't have to be wronged, and you live close, you can take care of it from time to time, who knows that it is only a few days, you have to go to such a far place, I can't stop you, and when you come back in the future, we will be in one place again." If you are really a brother in your belly, it is best to teach him to go to school with Baoyu, if you are a sister, send it to me, I will watch it for you, and you will watch you when you were a child. ”

Because he remembered what Jia Min looked like when he was a child, and thought that the mother and daughter were about to be separated, he couldn't help but cry, and he was afraid that he would cry, Jia Min had to cry, so he couldn't help but endure it, and said: "You have lived enough in the past two days, and you will put your luggage back together in the next morning, and you will have dinner tomorrow morning, don't delay the time to see." ”

Early the next morning, Shi and Jia Min got up early, Wang and Yuan Chun had already come to Shi's side, and after eating, Shi took Jia Min's hand and said, "Your sister-in-law and I won't send you off, your brother and nephew are outside, let them send you to the boat for me." ”

Jia Min wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "My daughter is not filial and can't serve in front of her mother, so my mother must take care of her body." ”

He also said to Wang: "Sister-in-law takes care of my mother. ”

Seeing that the whole family was standing under the corridor to see him off, even Baoyu had someone put him on and hugged him, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and immediately turned around and walked out after saluting Shi, until he got on the sedan chair, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and hid his face and cried.

Outside the gate of Jiafu, he got on the carriage that had been prepared earlier, and was sent to the wharf by Jia He, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhu and Jia Lian brothers, and boarded the ship to Yangzhou.
