Chapter 205: Red Mansion Lady Xing 25
An ecstatic smile appeared on Xing Yuling's face. She couldn't wait to run towards Shuilan, her eyes flashing with excitement and joy.
As the distance got closer, Xing Yuling's pace became faster and faster. Finally, she ran in front of Shui Lin, her eyes full of concern and tenderness.
"I knew you wouldn't die. I've been waiting for you to come back." Xing Yuling said softly, with a hint of sobs in her voice. She reached out and gently stroked Shui Yan's face, but she didn't feel his warmth and reality, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.
Shui Lan looked at Xing Yuling in front of him, and he held Xing Yuling's hand tightly.
"sorry"
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Shui Lin's voice was low and magnetic, and his eyes were filled with deep apology and love.
"I know you gave birth to a son, thank you"
"It's a pity that I haven't seen what the child looks like. I don't know if he looks like me or you."
Xing Yuling shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "The child is already one month old, and looks pretty, a bit like you, but his features are like mine."
"Before I die, I'll have thought of the name of my child"
"It's a pity that we can only give him a courtesy name." Shui Lin knew that his son was named Jia Ying, and felt a little regretful that he could not give him a full name.
"The two words 'Fuguang' imply brightness and hope. I hope he will shine as brightly as Fuguang in the days ahead!"
As the two talked for a long time, the space suddenly became dreamy and ethereal. The originally clear scenery gradually became blurred, as if covered by a layer of gauze. This change made the two realize that they were about to part. In this mysterious atmosphere, time seemed to become slow and heavy, and every moment was filled with reluctance and attachment.
"Yuling, you have to be well"
Shui Lin's figure also became blurred, and as the dream broke, she woke up in shock.
Perhaps the world of Dream of Red Mansions has some mysterious power that made her dream of Shuilan.
Xing Yuling sat up and rubbed her eyes with her hands, her heart filled with loss and melancholy.
"It turned out to be just a dream..." she murmured to herself.
However, even though it was just a dream, Xing Yuling felt an inexplicable comfort.
She still remembered what happened in the dream and what he said.
Xing Yuling sighed, then got out of bed and walked to the window. A glimmer of light from the window shone on her, bringing a touch of warmth. She stood quietly, her thoughts gradually drifting away.
...........................................................................
After the prince was buried, the emperor seemed to have lost his vitality and became weaker. He had a deep preference for the children left by the prince, especially the son born to the concubine. Therefore, the emperor decided to confer the title of Prince of Kangping on the son of the concubine and grant him generous rewards and privileges. As for Princess Anyang, the emperor also valued her very much and conferred her the title of Princess Anyang, enjoying the treatment of a first-rank princess. This series of actions undoubtedly showed the emperor's special feelings and care for the prince and his children.
As the crown prince had passed away, it was inconvenient for the crown princess and other concubines to stay in the Eastern Palace. In order to take care of them, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to arrange a suitable palace for the Prince of Kangping to move in.
After the Crown Prince's affair was over, the princes and lords fought for the throne more and more fiercely. Finally, the Emperor's health gradually deteriorated, so he looked for someone who could obey him and continue to hold power, and let his fourth son inherit the throne and he abdicated as the Emperor.
As time went by, Rongguo Mansion became more and more absurd and chaotic. However, Jia's mother chose to turn a blind eye. She only cared about her own interests and status, and did not care about the chaos in the mansion. Xing Yuling was different. She saw these problems, but was powerless to change anything. So she could only focus all her energy on her son, hoping to make him a promising person through a good education.
Every month, Xing Yuling would receive a monthly salary on time. In addition, she would also receive some high-quality items such as rouge, powder, clothes and fabrics.
Mrs. Wang did not dare to demand too much from the eldest wife's monthly payment. After all, they were the head of the Rongguo Mansion. If Jia She got mad, even Grandmother Jia would not be able to stop him. Jia She would come to the account office to withdraw money every once in a while, and Mrs. Wang did not dare to say a word.
Mrs. Wang not only tampered with the accounts and transferred silver to her own private treasury, but also maintained this behavior by robbing Peter to pay Paul. She sent silver to her daughter in the palace every month to ensure her life in the palace. At the same time, she secretly embezzled half of the annual gifts sent by Jia Min. What's more serious is that when the four kings and eight dukes and other relatives and friends sent the gift list, she secretly transferred some of the silver and valuables, and even accepted the gifts from the people below.
"Mother...mother..."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the little baby has grown into a lovely child. His body has gradually become stronger, no longer as fragile as when he was a child. Now he runs and plays in the yard.
Jia Ying ran towards Xing Yuling with sweat all over his forehead.
"Brother Ying, slow down, don't fall."
Seeing that her son moved very quickly, Xing Yuling walked over quickly with worry.
The child happily hugged his mother's legs and acted coquettishly.
"Madam, the Third Young Master is about to reach the age of enlightenment. Should we send him to the Jia family school?" Lichun, who was standing by, was wearing a dark dress and had her hair tied up. She served as the Third Young Master's nanny. She spoke in a steady tone, with a hint of concern and expectation in her eyes.
She frowned and sighed softly: "I am also worried about this. Although the clan school is good, the atmosphere there is not good. I am afraid that Ying'er will be wronged." She looked down at her son, her heart full of worries. In addition, there was also her precious Jia Baoyu, and she was afraid that he would lead her son astray.
Lichun nodded, indicating that he understood his wife's concerns: "That's true."
Xing Yuling pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe I can find a way to hire a teacher."
Xing Yuling thought of Jia She and was speechless, feeling completely disappointed in him.
Since the death of the crown prince, the Jia family lost its important political backer, and its power suffered a great blow. Jia Jing, who was originally one of the pillars of the Jia family, was indifferent to family affairs and even passed the title to his son Jia Zhen, and then chose to become a Taoist monk and left the world. Jia She and Jia Zhen, the two dandies in the Jia family, had no restraint from then on and began to act recklessly. They indulged in sensual pleasures, spent their days drinking, drinking, gambling and having fun, and ruined the reputation of the Jia family.
Grandmother Jia couldn't stand the first wife and didn't like her third grandson Jia Ying, so she was only slightly better to Jia Lian.
In recent years, under the supervision of Xing Yuling, Jia Lian has not neglected his studies. It's just that he does not have the talent for it, and his academic performance can only be described as average.
However, under the oppression of Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu from the second house had to start learning to read before dawn every day and read by lamplight at night. He gradually became thin and his face became as pale as paper.
Despite this, he still studied tirelessly, hoping to pass the imperial examination, gain fame and bring honor to his family.
Mrs. Wang didn't care about her son's condition. She thought it was just due to the hard work of studying and it was nothing serious.
So, she put more attention on Jia Baoyu, hoping that he could become the hope for the future of the Jia family.
