Chapter 64: The 64th day after becoming Lady Jia.

Wang Xifeng was pregnant very steadily this time, unlike in the Red Mansion where she was busy holding on to the power in her hands and not caring about her own miscarriage.

This time, because of the old lady's punishment earlier, her status in the mansion declined, but Wang Xifeng took a special interest in her after learning that she was pregnant.

What's more, she took the initiative to give up her power.

This was simply unimaginable in the past.

Looking closely, it was precisely because of the old lady's demotion that Wang Xifeng was able to wake up from her material desires and look at her situation calmly.

After all, only with a male heir can you have a title. Even if the second house occupies the main house now, the heir to the title is still Jia She's line, which will not change in any case.

Unless Jia Lian has no children.

So, a long time ago, Wang Xifeng went astray. She held the power in the mansion, but she only had one daughter. Even if she had a good relationship with Mrs. Wang, the title would probably fall into someone else's hands in the future.

Of course, there was also the partiality of Jia's mother and the lack of attention of Jia She, which made her cling to Mrs. Wang.

Her own strong will also made her unwilling to remain silent.

Fortunately, now she has finally made it.

The imperial physician's several diagnoses all showed that it was a boy, which made Wang Xifeng look forward to the child in her belly.

Therefore, all the midwives were ready early.

When the day came, she was not panicked at all.

On the contrary, the old lady and netizens were particularly nervous when they heard the news.

"It's really rare that Wang Xifeng's child was saved. '

'The time of this child's birth is inconsistent with that of Wang Xifeng's Xiaoyue in the Red Mansion. They should not be the same child.'

'Anyway, it is very exciting to know that Wang Xifeng will not have Xiaoyue at this point.

' 'Yes, I can't help but start to imagine what the future life of this non-existent child will be like.'

'Ah, the host has set things right. It's time for Jia She and Jia Zheng to switch courtyards.

' 'Yes, this is the heir to the title.'

...

At this moment, in the courtyard of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, all the masters of Rongguo Mansion are waiting anxiously.

In addition to Jia She, who is anxiously turning around, and Mrs. Wang, who is calm but has a bit of complicated emotions... Only the old lady sighs. Speaking of which, this child is also the first little life she has born since she traveled through time, and it is of extraordinary significance.

In the inner courtyard, there were intermittent screams, sometimes sharp, sometimes painful... After a long time, it was as if the sun was rising, the chicken was breaking out of the shell, and a loud baby cry suddenly rang out. Everyone in the courtyard stood up reflexively and looked at the closed door.

The joy was beyond words.

After a while, the midwife carefully came out with a swaddling cloth, and congratulated with a happy face, "Congratulations, old ancestor, congratulations, it's a boy!"

This shout made everyone in the courtyard come back to their senses and greet him.

The old lady waved her hand the next moment, "Okay, look at the reward."

Yuanyang immediately held out a handful of gold ingots, which was the reward for announcing the good news, and there was also silver for delivering the baby and the third-day bath ceremony later. Just thinking about the silver she could get later, the midwife was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth, and a series of good words did not stop.

She saw the old lady sticking her head out to look at the baby, and half-lowered her body, with a very good attitude.

The newborn baby was a small ball, red and wrinkled, but the old lady could vaguely see that the baby had a cheerful face. Thinking that the men in Rongguo Mansion were all good-looking, she estimated that he would be a handsome boy in the future, and her mood became better.

At this time, Jia She squeezed away the others and came forward and shouted, "Let me hold him, let grandpa see him."

The old lady's vision was blocked by his big head. Looking at the big head in front of her, the old lady almost couldn't help but wave her crutches.

I don't know what Jia She thought of. He smiled silly and was still mumbling. Only the two words "ancestral hall" and "have descendants" made the old lady understand what he meant.

After enduring for a while, the old lady said, "Okay, let the wet nurse hold the baby down to feed it. Be careful not to hurt the child." She corrected Jia She's posture of holding the baby and said, "Wet nurse, wet nurse, let someone take over." The wet

nurse who had been waiting for a long time hurried forward to take the child.

With the help of Yuanyang, the old lady went to the inner room and saw Wang Xifeng with half-closed eyes, very weak, her hair wet with sweat and tangled on the pillow, and her face was very pale.

When she saw the old lady, she tried to speak with difficulty, but was held down by the old lady first, "Don't worry, it's a boy, he will come after he drinks milk."

Wang Xifeng forced a smile and waited until the child was sent to her arms before she fell asleep.

Everyone left in order not to disturb her.

Wang Xifeng's birth of a son was a great joy for Jia She's family.

The next day, Jia She decorated the entire Rongguo Mansion with red ribbons and red lanterns, and the servants and maids were ordered to wear red belts.

The day of the third day of the third month was even more grand. In addition to the four kings and eight dukes, people from the Anguo Mansion and the Zhongshun Prince Mansion also sent gifts.

Not to mention the Duke of Anguo, Prince Zhongshun usually had little contact with the Rongguo Mansion. This sudden incident made many people look sideways, and even surprised everyone that Jia She, who had always been a dissolute playboy, actually had such connections.

The attitude of those who came to give gifts also changed from perfunctory to enthusiastic flattery.

Jia She didn't feel anything at all, and was busy and happy on his own. He also ordered his servants to distribute wedding candies and red eggs at the entrances of the streets.

The people of the capital were so happy that they rushed to receive them. What's more, nice words were given out without money, and even if it was seen that they were repeating to receive them, no one drove them away.

The old lady knew his knot, but she turned a blind eye.

On the list of names he handed over, she followed his wishes and named Wang Xifeng's boy Jia Peng, with the character "艹", which means thriving vegetation.

In contrast, Jia Zheng's family was strangely silent after the initial congratulations.

The old lady saw it all, and occasionally when Lady Wang came to her, she would say in a roundabout way, "The eldest son is too unstable, he is so old..." The old lady just waved her hand and said indifferently, "Let him be." On the contrary, Jia Zheng

's thoughts were hard to understand. He did not stop Lady Wang's frequent small actions , but he also paid more attention to the recipe taught by the old lady. It was not until the end of the third day of the third month ... After Yuanyang helped the old lady out, she stopped and said lazily, "It's still comfortable here, old ancestor." She felt a sense of relief after returning to a familiar environment. It was only when she relaxed that she realized how tired she was from running back and forth these days. The old lady smiled and sat down on the couch, "Why, don't you have any food there?"

"That's different." Tanchun muttered. She really didn't lack money now. She had a big kitchen and a small one. With a little more money, she could eat anything. But just like many people, they liked the freedom of living alone and the familiar comfort of home.

Without much explanation, Tanchun took out the booklet and handed it to the old lady for review. She said, "Grandma, Lai Ma has come to her several times. Today she invited us again. Do you want to go to the half-day banquet?"

This was Lai Ma's invitation. The old lady knew what it was for.

Tanchun didn't know that Wang Furen and Wang Xifeng knew about Lai Ma's entry into the mansion last year. One of them was not in the mood, and the other didn't have the energy.

She didn't have any advice. But the housekeeper knew that Lai Ma had come to her many times during the year, during the Lantern Festival, and again in the past few days. She thought there was something going on.

She thought that Lai Ma was an old nanny with some connections in the mansion. Since she had come to her for help, it was her first time as a housekeeper, so she couldn't save face. She also felt that she had to be more careful, so she came to ask.

After asking, she didn't get a reply from the old ancestor, so she realized something was wrong.

The scene became quiet, and only the old lady's hands slowly flipped through the book. She had netizens to help check the accounts, so she felt at ease and chatted with disdain, "It seems that Lai Ma hasn't given up yet."

"How can I give up? As the old saying goes, "A thousand miles to be an official is just for money." Donating money to be an official also costs money. If you don't become an official, how can you make up for it?" "

I remember that Lai Shangrong later became a county magistrate." "

Without the activities of the Jia Mansion, there are so many vacancies waiting, and it won't be their turn, so they can only ask for it."

The old lady also understood this, but the Lai family was not only deeply rooted in Rongguo Mansion, but also quite important in Ningguo Mansion. It was not like Li Shier and Wang Shanbao who could be easily removed.

Since we can't kill him with one blow, it's meaningless to drag it on, but... the old lady is disgusted!

Perhaps seeing the old lady's hesitation, netizens on the barrage offered suggestions.

"Anchor, have you heard the saying "If you want to take it, you must first give it."

"Yes, when the internal can't be eradicated, you can use external forces. "

"Wait, you still want Lai Shangrong to be an official, so that the people in his place will suffer an unprovoked disaster."

"It is because we know what kind of person Lai Shangrong is that we can use the power of the court to solve him when he reaches out. " "

But the Jia family who acted as a guarantor will also be in trouble."

"It won't hurt the bones. "

"Besides, now we are digging the sores inside the Jia family, so we will get hurt. '

'Can't you find a reason to send the Lai family to the government?'

'Although the Lai family is a family-born family, they can be manipulated at will, but if Lai Ma is so sentimental, once she is moved, it will be easy to cause the loss of the lips and teeth, which will chill people's hearts. If there is internal chaos, it will be difficult to lead the team. ' '

Yes, not to mention that the Jia family claims to be a kind family, and servants are also people. ' '

More importantly, no one knows what kind of character Lai Shangrong is now, you can't call for killing "without reason". '

...

The old lady felt that she had been enlightened. She pondered for a moment and looked at Tanchun, "Let the lady go, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Yuanyang!"

"Hey, ancestor, you tell me." Yuanyang hurried forward.

"Go and tell the lady, just say I said, let someone find a good job for Lai Shangrong." Yuanyang was stunned and immediately nodded in agreement.

Two days later, Ping'er came to the old lady and said, "Grandma asked me to tell the old ancestor that someone was found to investigate the grandson of Lai Ma last time. He was a spoiled child and a bit dandy, but there was nothing bad about him."

The old lady nodded, "I understand that your grandma is worried. She is in confinement now, so don't worry about it. It happens that I still have some good blood ginseng sent before the New Year. I will stew it with her to nourish her body, and take some red rice."

Ping'er immediately pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, old ancestor. Our grandma knows that you love her, but she can't be filial to you now, so she is worried."

"You, you are as sweet-mouthed as your grandma."

Ping'er went back with the things.

The old lady heard Yuanyang ask, "Grandma, don't you dislike the masters asking for favors?" She had been holding it in for several days and asked at this time.

At the request of netizens, the old lady found a picture of the winter solstice in this era, and drew a plum blossom on it, saying, "At least I have served the old master."

She didn't say much, but Yuanyang felt warm in her heart, "Grandfather, you are merciful."

[Author has something to say]

Ps: There is a small repair in the first fifty-four chapters. Lai Shangrong gave up his future, but he did not become an official. He just made a record in the Ministry of Personnel and could only be filled if there was a vacancy. So he was entrusted by the Jia Mansion at the age of thirty and became a county magistrate.
