The twenty-first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Xue Baochai, the daughter of Aunt Xue.
Wang Xifeng followed Jia Mu's instructions and, as expected, set up a wine show and staged a small show in the large flower hall behind Jia Mu's courtyard.
After all, Baochai was just a young lady who had not yet left the palace, and the customs of the times were not suitable for reckless manipulation. Apart from anything else, it is inconvenient to publicize just the birthday.
However, Rongguo Mansion has a large population and Wang Xifeng manages it, so although it only costs twenty or thirty taels of silver, it is still a lively and lively affair.
Jia's mother didn't know whether she really liked Baochai or because Baochai was the birthday girl today. Not only did she let Baochai sit next to her, but she would also ask Baochai what she meant whether she was eating or ordering a show.
And Baochai was as sensible as ever, showing no selfishness and being unfazed by favors and humiliations, which made Jia Mu even happier.
Shi Xiangyun was also picked up by Jia Mu to play with yesterday. Seeing Jia Mu's kindness to Baochai, he pulled Jia Baoyu's arm and said with a smile: "Look at the old lady, Sister Xibao, I see, from now on From now on, I'm afraid you will have to fall back."
Jia Baoyu also smiled and said: "She is such a good person. She can make the old lady like her. Let alone make me fall back one shot, even if it takes ten shots, I am willing to do so."
At this time, Baochai had just entered Beijing not long ago, and the sisters had not moved into the Grand View Garden to keep him company every day.
Because of this, Baochai and Jia Baoyu, two cousins, are not very close at all, and Baochai never said anything to advise Jia Baoyu to study and make progress! Therefore, Jia Baoyu also has full love and admiration for this cousin who is beautiful, intelligent, and well-rounded in dealing with people.
Therefore, he didn't mind Xiangyun's words. When he replied, he not only looked at Baochai on the other side of Jiamu with a happy face, but also ignored Xiangyun's chattering, picked up the wine pot and glass, and went over to toast Baochai. .
Seeing Jia Baoyu ignore her, Xiangyun pursed her lips slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied, but then put it behind her, tilted her head and pulled Tanchun Yingchun, who was watching the theater seriously, to talk.
"What a pity. I originally thought I would be able to see Sister Lin when I came here, but who knew that her father was also dead!"
The Shi family had no contact with the Lin family, so Shi Xiangyun only found out about Lin Ruhai's death and Daiyu's preparations to carry the coffin back home after passing through Jia's house.
While everyone at the table was laughing and cheering in their own way, the wife of the housekeeper came in and replied, saying that Grandma Dongfu Liyou was about to give birth.
Mrs. Jia Muwang and others were all shocked and hurriedly asked about the situation. They were all concerned when they learned that it was indeed the birth today.
Jia Muyin said to Mrs. Wang: "Go and see for yourself. If mother and son are safe, remember to send someone to report back!"
Although You's importance in Mother Jia's heart is not high, she still cares about the child in You's belly.
Because any boy is destined to inherit the Ningguo Mansion's family business when he grows up.
Although the title of Ningguo Mansion is still pending, and there is no news at all in the Zongren Mansion, at least the huge family property of Ningguo Mansion and the status of the eldest son are also very important to the entire Jia family.
So Mrs. Wang personally took some people and hurriedly drove to Ningguo Mansion.
At the banquet, Aunt Xue saw that Jia Mu was a little distracted and smiled deliberately: "Congratulations to the old lady, I have another great-grandson. The old lady's blessings are even more complete."
Jia Mu laughed when she heard this. Both houses respected her as their ancestor, and You's son was naturally her great-grandson.
Therefore, Jia Mu laughed and said: "It seems that today is a double happiness. It is the birthday of Bao Yatou and the birthday of the child."
Apart from anything else, it is obvious that this child has a certain fate with Bao Yatou. In the future, he must make Bao Yatou his aunt! "
As soon as Jia Mu said this, everyone at the table started talking about it.
Especially the Sanchun sisters and Xiangyun, they immediately started talking happily.
There are between five and six hundred people in the two houses, and it is not strange that they have the same birthday. But who cares about the servants’ birthdays? From a master's perspective, it would be rare for them to have the same birthday.
At least there are no serious masters in the two houses.
Sister-in-law You has been in labor for so long. She didn’t give birth one day early and one day late, but she had to wait until Sister Bao’s birthday to give birth. Isn’t it fate?
Shi Xiangyun saw that Xichun was also smiling. He couldn't help but leaned over and poked her, and said with a smile: "Did you hear what the old lady just said? I want your nephew to recognize Sister Bao as his aunt. You, your real aunt, Could it be that we have to step aside as well?”
After hearing this, Xichun smiled slightly but did not answer.
Ever since her brother and her eldest nephew caused such scandals, she was ashamed to recognize her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, and she didn't even bother to look at the You family and the Xiao Qin family.
Today, I also knew that my little nephew was about to be born, so I was a little concerned.
It is impossible to describe in detail what everyone in Rongguo Mansion said. They only said that after Mrs. Wang arrived at Ningguo Mansion, she saw that everyone here was busy.
In the current situation of Ningguo Mansion, the importance of You's pregnancy is self-evident. There was no one in the entire Ningguo Mansion who didn't care.
Mrs. Wang also asked about some specific situations. Seeing that You, Qin Keqing and others had made arrangements well, she calmly waited for news in the backyard room.
The process of giving birth is very painful and long-lasting. Mrs. Wang, who has already had three children, understands this.
After the sounds in the delivery room finally subsided, a baby's cry suddenly sounded. Even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stood up immediately and walked into the hospital.
At this time, there were many people inquiring about the news gathered in the courtyard. They were all approaching the main corridor. They looked at Mrs. Wang coming and then got out of the way.
"Reply to my wife, she is a rich lady!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she looked shocked and thought, could this be God's will?
Jia Zhengshang had two sons, but Mrs. Wang only had one, Jia Baoyu. Therefore, in Mrs. Wang's heart, Jia Baoyu is her only support for the rest of her life.
Therefore, although she wanted her son to get the Ningguofu family property in her heart, she was also very entangled and did not want to lose this son, even in name only.
What's more, because Jia Baoyu is a direct descendant of Rongguo Mansion, not a recent branch of Ningguo, it would be a bit troublesome to let Jia Baoyu inherit the family.
But with the current strength gap between the two houses, and after she took the initiative to send a signal of reconciliation with Jia Lian. With Jia's mother, Yuan Chun, her, Jia Zheng and his wife, as well as Jia Lian and his wife, so many powerful people adding fuel to the flames, it is not difficult to force Jia Baoyu to inherit.
Although they would be criticized, they would be able to compensate the relevant people in Ningguo Mansion, so it would not be a problem.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why she subconsciously decided to give up her fantasy and please Jia Lian.
Because of such a very contradictory mentality, she thought, it would be better for Youshi to just give birth to a son, which would save her the trouble of weighing.
Who would have known that it would turn out to be a daughter?
Naturally, it is impossible for a daughter to inherit the Ningguo Mansion.
Could it be that God wants Baoyu to leave her and come here to take on the important responsibility of the eldest daughter?
Mrs. Wang is a person who believes in fate. At this moment, the balance in her heart immediately tilted.
Not only Mrs. Wang, but also the women from other rooms of the Jia family who lived nearby, as well as the housekeepers and daughters-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion, all gathered here, all had strange expressions on their faces. Apparently they all felt that they had just been peaceful for a long time. The Ningguo Mansion is about to change again...
As for Mrs. You, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and her daughter, who had been taken over by Youshi to accompany you, they were all worried. Among them, the second sister You and the third sister You were okay. Old lady You had a look of disappointment on her face and almost sat down on the ground.
Mrs. Wang ignored them and led a few people into the delivery room. However, she saw two midwives and five or six serving maids and women in the delivery room, still busy.
"Madam, Grandma You seems to have another baby in her belly..."
What……
Mrs. Wang was startled, and her expression changed. She glanced at Qin Keqing, Mrs. You, and a group of trusted maids and servants around You in the room. She finally calmed down and waved her hand, asking all the irrelevant people to stand aside. .
Without waiting too long, the experienced midwife quickly took out the second child.
At this time, Ms. You was almost unconscious from the pain, so Mrs. You ignored her dignity and stepped forward to check the gender of the child with the midwife.
"The one with the handle! It's a boy, it's a boy! Hahahaha, okay, okay..."
Mrs. You laughed happily.
"Old lady, be careful, don't hurt the young master..."
"Oh, yes, yes, you should hug him better, wash him quickly, and wrap him up quickly. It's too cold today, so we can't let him freeze."
"Brother, I haven't cried yet..."
"Ah, hurry up and pinch his butt and soles. How can I do it without crying? Come on, let me do it. I have given birth to two children. I have experience..."
Mrs. Wang beside her silently looked at the room full of excited people, and then glanced at Youshi, who had fainted after learning the gender of the child. She calmly asked Qin Keqing to take good care of her mother-in-law, and then took her with her. His own people are out.
Soon, the good news that You gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, quickly spread throughout the eight houses of the Jia family.
Some people are happy, some are jealous, but after all, the majority are happy. Therefore, even a small number of people who feel regretful do not dare to show it and say they are happy when meeting people.
In the Ningguo Mansion, the housekeeper, his wife, and others began to prepare for the wedding banquet after asking the young mistress Qin Keqing for instructions...
