Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 138
Time passed quickly, passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather began to get colder. Xue Baochai's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like she was about to give birth.

For the child in Xue Baochai's belly.Both Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang paid great attention to it. After Xue Baochai was a month old, there were several stable ladies around who were ready at any time.

On this day, Jia Rui served the Supreme Emperor in the palace as usual.

Xue Baochai, who was relatively stable at first, suddenly felt her stomach dropping downwards and having bouts of cramping pain.

Po Wen, who was waiting beside her, immediately knew that Xue Baochai was about to give birth, so she quickly got busy.

After getting the news, Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang also hurried to Xue Baochai's yard.

"Where's Jia Rui? Why can't he be seen?"

After arriving, Jia Dairu was immediately annoyed when he found that his grandson was not in the yard.

Mrs. Wang glared at her husband fiercely, and then said, "Didn't I go into the palace to serve the Emperor?"

Only then did Jia Dairu react, then patted his head and said, "I'm anxious, I'm anxious, I'm a little confused."

Then he said to his old wife: "Go in quickly and see how my grandson-in-law is doing."

Mrs. Wang was also worried about her great-grandson, so she quickly entered the room.

After a while, Baochai's screams in the room became more and more tragic, and pots of blood were brought out.

In the end, Jia Dairu was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly informed Aunt Xue and ordered someone to wait for Jia Rui at the palace gate, asking him to go home immediately after he came out.

Lixiangyuan is not far from here, and Aunt Xue hurried over without even having time to burn a stick of incense.

Xue Pan also came with him. He was holding a wooden box in his arms. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Send this ginseng in quickly."

Aunt Xue was getting angry, so she pushed her son and was angry with him for being nosy.

What is Jia Rui’s status now?There's no reason why he doesn't have ginseng at home. Does he need you to carry him over?

"Father-in-law, how is Baochai? Has the child been born?"

"Hey, it's been an hour and the child hasn't come out yet."

Just when the two of them were anxious, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside. Jia Dairu and others looked back and saw Jia Rui running in in a hurry.

"How's it going? Is Baochai okay?" Jia Rui started shouting before he could stand firm.

"Calm down." Jia Dairu scolded Jia Rui.

After hearing this, Jia Rui quickly saluted Jia Dairu and Aunt Xue, then stretched his neck and looked into the room.

Aunt Xue is satisfied with Jia Rui's performance?
Everyone waited for a while, and just when Jia Rui couldn't wait to break into the delivery room, a loud sound of baby crying finally came from inside.

When the people outside the house heard the child crying inside, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, a Wen woman came out, smiled and saluted Jia Rui and Jia Dairu, and said, "Congratulations, old man. Grandma has given birth to a boy, weighing eight pounds!"

Jia Rui was ecstatic that he finally had offspring.

Jia Dairu on the side also showed joy on his face, his whole body was shaking a little, swaying, and he couldn't stand still. Fortunately, the boy next to him held him up, otherwise, if Jia Dairu was still good at such an old age, it would be a happy event. It's become a funeral.

After a while, Mrs. Wang walked out with a happy face.

As soon as she saw Jia Rui, she smiled and said, "My great-grandson is strong and beautiful. He is much better than you were when you were young."

In response to Mrs. Wang's disparagement, Jia Rui smiled and said, "Yes, yes, your great-grandson is both beautiful and strong, how can I compare to him?"

Jia Dairu spoke at this time, "We are chatting here for now. Let Brother Rui go in and see Baochai later. I will go back to the study to give our great-grandson a name."

After Jia Dairu finished speaking, he happily went to the study with the help of the servant.

After another hour, the delivery room was cleaned up, and Po Wen let Jia Rui in.

Jia Rui and Mrs. Wang entered the house together.

Mrs. Wang once again walked to the baby's cradle and looked at the little ball of flesh lying inside. She couldn't even open her eyes with laughter.

But Jia Rui came to Xue Baochai's bedside first. Looking at Xue Baochai who looked tired and pale on the bed, Jia Rui felt a little distressed.

He gently held Xue Baochai's hand, and then said softly: "Thank you for your hard work. You have made great contributions to our family."

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Rui's gentle face and smiled at the corners of his eyes, "Let's go see the child."

Jia Rui nodded and then came to the crib and looked at the baby lying on it. What did Jia Rui think? How beautiful did it look and how cute did it look?

As he watched, Jia Rui couldn't help but laugh so hard that the corners of his mouth split to his cheeks.

On the day Xue Baochai gave birth to a boy, Jia Rui generously ordered that the government's customary money be tripled this month.

Everyone in the house burst into joy. Some were happy that Xue Baochai had given birth to his little master, and the other was happy that this month's wages had been tripled.

On the other side of Rongguo Mansion, several old ladies were playing leaf cards with Jia Mu. Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were sitting on the left and right of Jia Mu, helping Jia Mu make suggestions.

Suddenly Yuanyang came over gently and said in Jia Mu's ear: "Old lady, Grandma Rui gave birth to a boy."

After hearing this, Jia Mu paused and said, "That's really a happy event. Go to my storehouse, get a ginseng, and a deer antler, and then get two pieces of silk from the West Sea. You can deliver it to me personally." ." "Yes, old lady."

Yuanyang agreed and wanted to go out, but it was Jia Baoyu who spoke.

"Sister Bao has given birth to a boy, so I have to go and have a look."

After saying this, Jia Baoyu stood up and wanted to follow Yuanyang out.

This time, Yuanyang was at a loss.

If word spreads that you are visiting a woman who has just given birth at this time, everyone's reputation will be lost.

At this time, Jia Mu's face darkened, "Just stay at home and be careful not to ask your father to test your essay."

Jia Baoyu was most afraid of Jia Zheng. When he heard that his father was about to be called, he immediately stopped talking and sat aside honestly.

Lin Daiyu, who was sitting on the other side, gently covered her face with a handkerchief. She didn't know whether her face was sarcastic or sad.

At this moment, a second-class maid hurriedly ran in, "Old lady, old lady, Second Grandma Lian is here. Ping'er asked me to tell the old lady the good news."

After hearing this, Mother Jia also had a happy face. This time it was different from before. No matter how she said it belonged to someone else, this time her great-grandson was about to be born.

"When did it happen? Why is there no news at all?"

"We don't know either. Ping'er suddenly sent someone to tell us."

Yuanyang, who hadn't left yet, said quickly: "Then why are you still standing there? Go and find out!"

The little girl heard this and ran out quickly.

What's going on here with Wang Xifeng?How come it's such a coincidence?
It turned out that once Xue Bao started to mobilize on that side, the whole Jia Rui's residence was in chaos, and Wang Xifeng, who had been paying attention to Jia Rui's family affairs on this side, got the news.

Wang Xifeng is good at everything except for one problem, which is jealousy.

Although she knew that she and Jia Rui could not be together openly, she was still very jealous when she heard that Xue Baochai had given birth.

I don't know if it was because of anger, but I immediately felt my stomach start to churn, and then I vomited non-stop.

This time, the people in her room were frightened.

So Ping'er hurriedly went outside to hire a doctor.

The doctor asked why, felt his pulse, and then he laughed.

"Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to grandma, you are not sick, you have a happy pulse."

Wang Xifeng, who was lying on the bed, felt happy after hearing this.

She had a backer this time, but she didn't believe that with this child, Jia Rui's side could ignore her?
Wang Xifeng was finally relieved and began to think about the future while lying on the bed.

Everyone in the current Rongguo Mansion knows what the old lady is thinking, she just wants Jia Baoyu to inherit the Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng accepted this kind of thing on the surface, but she was not convinced in her heart.

Her husband Jia Lian was the legitimate heir to the Rongguo Mansion, so why was he now the housekeeper for the second wife?

It's different now. With Jia Rui supporting him, as long as the boy in his belly is still a boy, Jia Rui will never see his child fail to inherit the title.

She wanted to see who could defeat Jia Rui's power?
Wang Xifeng is here thinking about a bright future, and Ping'er's side has quickly sent a little maid to the old lady, Jia She, and Mrs. Wang to report the good news.

When Jia She knew that Wang Xifeng was pregnant again, she was naturally happy and immediately handed over a bunch of miscellaneous things.

On Mrs. Wang's side, after learning that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, her face turned gloomy and dark, and she didn't know whether she was happy or angry.

Besides, Jia Ruide was naturally overjoyed. That night, he held a banquet in the mansion and invited some of his best officials.

Each of them has a high and powerful position, including the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Yin of the Shuntian Prefecture, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Grand Scholar of the Cabinet.

The meal lasted for an hour, and finally Jia Rui sent everyone away in a daze and returned to the room alone.

Lying on the bed, Jia Rui suddenly wanted to find someone to express his joy to, and at the same time, the figure of Wang Xifeng appeared in his mind involuntarily.

I don't know what happened, but during this period, the shadow of Wang Xifeng often appeared in Jia Rui's mind.

Jia Rui didn't care at first. He thought it was because he and Wang Xifeng spent a lot of time together during this period, so he missed her often.

But as time passed, Jia Rui felt that something was wrong.

To say that Jia Rui's self-confidence is not bad, and in modern society, what kind of beauties have not been seen?

Why does a woman always appear in my mind during this time? Something is wrong after all.

In fact, somewhere Jia Rui didn't see, there was a faint red light, surrounding Jia Rui and Wang Xifeng in Rongguo Mansion.

And at the end of this red light is a fairy palace with mountains and mountains.
