The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 207 Calculation
When Jia Yuanchun heard that Xue Baochai had given birth to a daughter, she immediately asked someone to prepare some supplements and went to the Xia Courtyard.

When we arrived at the gate of Xiayuan, we saw a few girls playing with ducks by the river.

Three white ducks were quacking by the water, and several girls kept throwing food into the water.

"princess!"

The maids noticed Jia Yuanchun and quickly called out to remind her.

Lin Daiyu and others hurriedly stood up.

Jia Yuanchun came over and asked, "How is Sister Bao?"

Lin Daiyu said, "We are fine. We just finished our meal and there are children in the house, so we came out to play."

Shi Xiangyun added: "She cried twice in one night, and the sound was so loud that we could hear it in the room."

Hearing Shi Xiangyun's nagging, Jia Yuanchun looked at her helplessly.

"It's a good thing for a baby to cry. It's even better if they cry on time, because then they need to get up and eat more. You'll understand when you have children."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister, go and have a look. We have been looking for it all morning."

Jia Yuanchun nodded and asked, "Is the master here?"

Shi Xiangyun replied, "He was busy all night last night and is sleeping in Ying'er's room. She said she would call him if there is anything."

Jia Yuanchun smiled.

"Which man cares so much about women? It's not like we don't have women outside our family. You can ask around. Although being a concubine has a bad reputation, the master always treats the girls as his wives."

"You should all prepare yourself. Don't be like Miss Li, who is always bored and delays her lifelong event."

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu said embarrassedly: "Yes, sister."

Jia Yuanchun quickly brought people in to visit Xue Baochai.

More than thirty people have been left near Xue Baochai's house to take care of her, all of whom are "elderly people" who specialize in taking care of pregnant women and children.

The team trained by Jia Rong knows exactly what to do and what not to do before and after giving birth, and no additional instructions are needed.

There were a lot of things going on this year, and Jia Rong's hospital visit was delayed by himself.

But if it opens, the gynecological hospital will definitely focus on delivery, and this team will be able to make money from it.

Except Jia Rong, the others did not know their own fate and price.

After Jia Yuanchun entered the yard, Aunt Xue came out to greet her personally.

"Meet the princess!"

Jia Yuanchun looked at Aunt Xue, who was smiling, and smiled as well, saying, "No need to be so polite. Is Sister Bao feeling better?"

Aunt Xue said happily, "I just lay down after lunch and was reading a book to relieve my boredom."

When Jia Yuanchun saw that Xue Baochai was fine, she went into the house with Aunt Xue to visit her.

Xue Baochai, who was wearing a yellow headscarf, sat on the bed and said politely, "Sister, I am not feeling well. I am sorry for being rude."

Jia Yuanchun sat by the bed and said with a smile: "We all came here this way. There is no need to be particular about this now. I brought some supplements with me, but when I got here, I found that the master had already arranged everything."

Aunt Xue stood aside and said with a smile: "My daughter is much more blessed than me. The food, clothing, and daily necessities she has, as well as the happiness she enjoyed before and after giving birth, are dozens of times better than mine. When I first gave birth to my child, I didn't have such an easy time."

Xue Baochai was also happy from the bottom of her heart.

Although it was a daughter, she just kept having children. Jia Rong also liked daughters more.

Jia Yuanchun touched her belly and said, "I also want a daughter. It would be great if this baby is a daughter."

Xue Baochai comforted him, saying, "It's not rare to have a young master. With so many children, there will always be one who can pass the imperial examination like you."

Jia Yuanchun nodded and thought this was a good idea.

The relationship between the two was not good, it could only be said to be average. After chatting for a while, they rested and went back to work. After Jia Yuanchun left, Aunt Xue sat down and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it."

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "The prince has already given the order, so you don't have to worry about it."

Aunt Xue smiled and nodded, "That's true. Here, everyone is in charge of everything. It's better than when your father was here."

Xue Baochai comforted her, "Mom, you can just rest assured and live here in your old age. The prince will naturally take care of your brother. Besides, how is our family better now than before? Leave the business matters to Xue Ke."

Aunt Xue always used to be concerned about the Xue family's business.

Now that Xue Baochai reminded him of this, he realized that he had been getting stuck in a dead end.

"I was confused. I can't count on your brother. I need him to have a son as soon as possible so that he can continue to study and take the imperial examinations in the future, or he can rely on the prince's recommendation to become an official."

Being a businessman is hard and troublesome, it is nothing compared to being an official.

Xue Baochai sighed and said, "There are more than twenty official positions in our palace, but it's a pity that the prince gave them all to outsiders. Otherwise, I would feel at ease if he gave one to my brother."

Aunt Xue also knew about this.

At this time, Aunt Xue's maid Tongxi said, "Madam, you don't know that the officials given this time are all people who have followed the prince for more than ten years. I heard that some of them are helping the prince manage things outside, and some are working as accountants in the outer courtyards of the mansion. Some of them are asking for the positions for their sons."

Aunt Xue didn’t know before, but she knows now.

But he also said casually: "It's better to give it to our own family. Our daughter has given birth to a daughter for the prince. When we have time, we can ask the prince about it later."

Aunt Xue asked Xue Baochai to take advantage of this time to ask.

Xue Baochai also knew the reason.

This period is the time when Jia Rong is most concerned about this matter. If you take advantage of the fact that Jia Rong likes his youngest daughter to mention it, you will most likely be able to succeed.

At around two or three in the afternoon, Jia Rong came to visit his daughter and concubine.

Aunt Xue was holding her child in the sun. Seeing this, she carried the child into the house.

"Your Majesty."

Jia Rong looked at his little daughter who was sleeping, then walked into the house and said, "The sun is shining brightly today, but don't let her stay in the sun for too long. Leave her to the nurse later."

"Yes." Aunt Xue said quickly, "Baochai is reading in the room."

Jia Rong went straight into the room, and Ying'er and other maids took the initiative to lift the curtain.

"Your Majesty."

Jia Rong walked to the bed and sat down, smiling and said, "Are you getting milk?"

Xue Baochai nodded shyly, "Yes, I just got my clothes dirty, so I changed into another one."

Jia Rong went straight to the point, "Let me touch it."

Although Aunt Xue and seven or eight maids were standing in the bedroom, Jia Rong didn't care about that and directly lifted up Xue Baochai's loose coat.

Aunt Xue carried the child out, and the others followed her out, leaving only Xue Baochai's four maids to accompany her nearby.

The child already had a special wet nurse. In order to prevent Xue Baochai from having health problems, Jia Rong had someone bring a porcelain bowl to help relieve her chest swelling.

Fortunately, there were four maids serving by the bed. They would watch and help Jia Rong and Xue Baochai in whatever they did. Xue Baochai did not feel shy at this time.

Xue Baochai lay in Jia Rong's arms with a blushing face, looking up at Jia Rong.

"Master...my brother has nothing to do, and I'm afraid he'll cause trouble at home. Can you arrange something decent for him to do?"

"no problem!"

Jia Rong agreed immediately.

A few days later, Xue Pan was sent to fight in the war.
