Chapter 92 Yuan Chun's Birth
Chapter 92 Yuan Chun's Birth
Although it is customary to stay up all night on New Year's Eve, Jia Hu and the others were the youngest, so not long after midnight they were told to stop and go back to sleep.
Jia Daihua also asked Jia Zhen's mother, Li, to take Jia Zhen back first.
Jia Hu didn't have much entertainment in ancient times. At most, he would tell stories and play with toys with his younger brothers in the evenings.
Little Jia Zhu was already sleepy. Seeing that his younger brother was tired, Jia Hu obediently took his brother and followed a large group of maids and servants back to their courtyard.
As soon as Jia Hu and the others left, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned cold.
Jia Daishan stroked his beard and said:
"Today is the Lunar New Year, so let's all get back to normal and enjoy the holiday."
Everyone should have temporarily put aside their thoughts, knowing that it was New Year's Day and they shouldn't talk about these things to avoid bad luck, so they let it go.
Whether or not everyone slept well after returning home that night is unknown.
The next morning, Jia Daishan was to go to the palace to offer New Year's greetings. After the New Year's celebration was completed, the ministers would officially begin celebrating the New Year and enjoy the Spring Festival holiday.
Then, on the 19th, we attended another banquet, which was referred to as a "refocusing banquet" because we were going to start working again the next day.
The next day, Wang was a little nervous when she got up. Although she knew it was today, she didn't know what time it was. She had no sense of time yet, so she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Knowing that she was nervous and had too many things to do today, and fearing that the servants might not be able to take care of everything, Zhang came to her courtyard with Wang after having breakfast with everyone in the morning.
Jia Min also came over. She didn't usually interact much with her second sister-in-law, but she knew that childbirth was difficult, so she was willing to stay in the yard to take care of her.
After Jia Hu and Jia Zhu got up, Jia Zhu, who had heard yesterday that his younger sister would be coming today, wanted to go and see her.
Jia Hu also wanted to go and see, but they were still children, and they wouldn't be allowed to participate in such an occasion.
The two had no choice but to calm down and play in the yard.
Jia Zheng was also uneasy. He could only sit in his study, deep in thought, looking at his books, but he couldn't concentrate on a single word.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the Jia family is still very busy.
Jia Min and Zhang Shi were going to accompany Wang Shi.
Grandmother Jia, along with Jia She and Jia Zheng, greeted the guests at the front. Today, close relatives from the main family came to pay their respects for the New Year. Because they knew that Jia Daishan was going to the palace today, the people who came to pay their respects did not arrive very early.
As more and more guests arrived, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu also needed to greet the young guests in the front yard.
It wasn't until lunchtime, when they were hosting a banquet for the guests, that Jia Hu realized he had so many relatives.
Jia Hu had only a superficial understanding of many people, but there was one person he knew very well.
He is Jia Dairu, and he is currently sitting with his grandfather, drinking tea and chatting.
Upon seeing him, Jia Daishan waved for him and Jia Zhu to come over and greet Jia Dairu.
Jia Dairu found that they were also very pleased.
Looking at Jia Dairu in front of him, Jia Hu simply couldn't see him as the same person as the Jia Dairu in the TV series.
The two of them sat down obediently, listening to their grandfather and Jia Dairu chat. They heard Jia Dairu speak of his son with great pride, and they learned that he was already teaching at the clan school and that his son was very learned.
Jia Daishan was delighted to hear this, but Jia Hu was shocked at this moment, and he now understood why there was such a big difference.
At this time, Jia Dairu's son was still alive, and Jia Dairu had not yet experienced the pain of losing his son, so his mental state was definitely different.
Jia Hu thought,
Jia Dairu's grandson died because he harbored ill intentions towards Wang Xifeng, and was caught in a love trap set by Wang Xifeng.
Jia Dairu is a pitiful character. He lost his son in middle age and his grandson in old age. He is a very tragic figure.
He experienced almost all three of life's greatest misfortunes.
Jia Daishan's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he almost lost his balance. He had no idea that his younger brother would suffer such a tragic fate.
Then I remembered my nephew, who was so learned, but now he's so young and he doesn't have any knowledge either!
Looking at Jia Dairu, Jia Hu couldn't help but feel sorry for him; he was truly pitiful.
He doesn't seem so cold and harsh anymore.
It's a pity that both the son and daughter-in-law passed away from serious illnesses, leaving behind only a pitiful grandson. The grandson is very strict with his upbringing and doesn't know how to express himself. If the grandson comes home late, he will be severely punished.
Who would have thought that the grandson would be so audacious as to provoke Wang Xifeng, ultimately losing his life in the process?
His grandson is a scoundrel. In ancient times, reputation was extremely important to a woman. How dare he provoke a married man, especially his own sister-in-law? He's incredibly audacious.
Greedy and lustful, he ultimately met such a tragic end; truly pitiful people often have hateful aspects!
Jia Daishan calmed himself down and felt that he still needed to take action. Since it was an illness, he should take preventative measures.
Thinking of this, Jia Daishan decided to first assess the situation and then devise a solution after the New Year.
He couldn't know about this, yet he watched helplessly as his brother met such an end.
The more Jia Dairu looked at the two well-behaved children, the more he liked them. After asking them a few questions, he kept praising them.
He bluntly stated that among children of the same age in the current school, no one can compare to these two children.
After the banquet ended, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu clung to Jia Daishan, unwilling to go back.
Jia Hu wondered, why is there still no movement? Is it going to be evening?
No sooner had he thought that than someone came to report it.
The old woman came to report this with a beaming smile.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations! Our second wife has just given birth to a daughter!"
This girl, she looked so fresh and beautiful right after she was born, she was definitely going to be a beauty!
Born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, this person is destined for great wealth and prosperity!
Jia Hu was overjoyed, and Jia Zhu was also very happy. Both of them were eager to see their younger sister.
Jia Daishan was also happy. Although he had learned so much last night, things were different now, and she was his first granddaughter.
Jia Daishan laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying:
"Everyone will receive three months' salary."
The people in the courtyard were extremely grateful and kept saying auspicious words.
Jia Daishan watched as the two little ones eagerly tried it out.
He then grabbed one in each hand and said:
"You two will have to wait a while if you want to go. Your sister was just born, and you'll be able to see her right away. Just be patient and wait a bit. Your grandmother will send someone to take you there soon."
As his father-in-law, he could only send someone over again to bestow gifts upon him.
Wang's delivery went extremely smoothly. She hadn't felt anything at first, and even attended a banquet at noon. But on the way back, she suddenly felt something.
Everything was prepared in advance, and no one was flustered.
Even the skilled nurse didn't expect this pregnancy to go so smoothly; from the moment she felt the baby to the moment of birth, it only took a full hour.
It should be noted that production in ancient times was never so quick and smooth, and yet she was born today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is also said that she was born on the same day as her great-grandfather, and she is the first girl of this generation in the Jia family.
