Chapter 199: Red Mansion Lady Xing 19
At this moment, Jia She suddenly thought of something, with a smug smile on his face, he strode forward and reported to Jia's mother: "Mother, I have good news to tell you, Xing is pregnant!"
Upon hearing the news, Grandmother Jia did not show much excitement or excitement, but just responded lightly: "Oh? Really? Then let her take good care of herself and try to give our Jia family a big fat grandson as soon as possible."
Xing Yuling seemed a little nervous and uneasy. She carefully observed Jia's mother's reaction, worried that she would cause unnecessary trouble or pressure because of her pregnancy. After all, in such a complicated environment as Jia's mansion, any slight disturbance could cause an uproar.
Mrs. Wang, who was standing next to Lady Jia, looked at her belly with her dark and deep eyes, which revealed a dangerous aura that made people shudder.
"Mother, everything has been arranged in the palace. There is still something to be done with Concubine Zhen." Mrs. Wang turned the topic to Yuanchun's entry into the palace.
"As the eldest uncle, you need to help with Yuanchun's affairs," Grandmother Jia looked at the eldest brother and said seriously.
Jia She hurriedly agreed, but secretly thought in his heart: "This old woman is really partial. She only thinks about the second wife and doesn't care about the first wife at all." He decided to make things difficult for the second son when he returned.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang raised her lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. She knew that Grandmother Jia had always valued Yuanchun, and now she was even more hopeful that she could make a difference in the palace. But Mrs. Wang was not to be outdone, she was determined to make her daughter Baochai stand out and become the pride of the Jia family.
A family struggle quietly unfolds beneath the seemingly calm surface...
Time slowly turned to the cool autumn season, and the palace began the small selection.
In the Rong and Ning mansions, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others each contributed money to Yuanchun Palace. As the head of the Jia family, Jia Zhen also actively participated in this matter and took the lead in donating a sum of money. At the same time, he also encouraged other clansmen to donate together.
Mrs. Wang also encouraged Lady Jia to ask Xing Yuling to pay more money.
Xing Yuling cried about her poverty in front of Lady Jia. She wiped her tears and told her own difficulties: "Mother, you don't know, my life is really hard! The few taels of silver every month have to be used to take care of my parents' home. I really can't make ends meet!" As she spoke, she choked up again, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing that it was not a good idea to force people to pay money at this time, Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at Jia She with some unhappiness on their faces.
Jia She is smart. He has already stated that he has already paid money before and will not pay more at this time, acting like a rogue.
In the end, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion paid more money to make up for the shortfall. Jia Zhen was happy to do so. After all, he had a plan in mind, hoping that Yuanchun would rise to a high position in the palace in the future, and then he would naturally have to repay them.
Jia Yuanchun entered the palace with more than 100,000 taels of silver notes and various small amounts of silver. The Empress allowed her to bring a maid with her, led by a eunuch, and enter the palace selected by Xiaoxuan for accommodation because she was the eldest granddaughter of Duke Rong.
Xing Yuling didn't care about Yuanchun entering the palace. She just wanted to earn more money while Rongguo Mansion was still there, and she had to raise children in the future.
She had hidden all her dowry, gold and silver jewelry, banknotes and other valuables in her personal space, and set aside a room on the second floor of the villa to store these items. This room was filled with all kinds of precious items, including gifts from Jia's mother, and clothes and fabrics sent by people as favors. These clothes and fabrics were of various types and colors, and in large quantities, so that several large boxes were filled.
There were more than twenty huge boxes placed opposite, stacked up to the ceiling, filling the entire space without a single gap. They were neatly arranged, giving people a feeling of being full.
That was when she found an opportunity to leave the house and go to the private residence to transfer the things inside into the space.
Three of the boxes contained gold bars, each weighing 100 grams, and each box contained 200 gold bars. There were no marks or logos on them. The other five boxes were filled with silver ingots, each weighing about 50 grams, and each box contained 200 silver ingots! So many silver ingots piled up together, shining brightly.
After opening several boxes, I saw a whole set of jewelry, including glittering gold, warm and delicate jade, and some extremely rare jewelry. These jewelry were neatly placed together, and people could not help but marvel at their beauty and value. In addition, there was a box filled with pearls of very beautiful colors, each of which was the size of a thumb, very round and smooth, and exuded a charming luster.
These are the dowry left by Shui Lin’s own mother, as well as some things she added.
Xing Yuling looked at the pile of things in front of her, her eyes lit up, her heart filled with excitement and desire. These things were simply an irresistible temptation for her, especially the glittering gold and exquisite jewelry, which made her completely unable to resist their charm.
Her eyes were attracted by those dazzling jewels, each of which exuded a unique light, and the delicate craftsmanship and exquisite design made people intoxicated. And those gold pieces exuded a dazzling luster, giving people a sense of endless wealth.
Xing Yuling exclaimed in her heart: "These things are so beautiful!" She couldn't help but imagine what she would look like wearing these jewels. The thought made her heart beat faster and her face flushed.
Then he inspected the fields in the space, harvested what needed to be harvested, and replanted what needed to be replanted.
She paid special attention to the medicinal fields, harvested all the mature herbs and put them in the warehouse, and reserved a small area to plant a batch of herbs that women and children can use to prevent colds, fevers and inflammations. She expected that the production stage would begin in three months.
As early as four months ago, Aunt Sun gave birth to a baby girl after two days and two nights, but eventually died of hemorrhage.
Grandmother Jia decided to name her Yingchun and brought her up to her side.
Xing Yuling did not stop it and originally planned to raise the child by herself, but later Jia She also acquiesced that the child should be raised by Lady Jia.
Aunt Sun's funeral was very low-key and not lavish. Her body was placed in a thin coffin and then buried casually in the Jia family cemetery in Baiyun Mountain, not far from the capital. There, they dug a simple pit and buried the coffin in it.
