Chapter 215: Red Mansion Lady Xing 35

Xing Yuling was in Rongguo Mansion, watching several little girls playing and making noise around Jia Baoyu, and she rolled her eyes to the sky.

Look at Lin Daiyu burying flowers in tears in melancholy, and having a quarrel with Jia Baoyu. Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun are also involved, calling him "Second Brother" all the time and acting like a spoiled child.

The more Xing Yuling watched, the angrier she became. She couldn't help cursing in her heart, saying that all she did all day was cry and be jealous. She might as well use her time to read a few more books and learn to be wise and polite.

Then she didn't care, turned around and left, thinking to herself: These people are so boring, I should find a quiet place to rest for a while.

As she walked, Xing Yuling came to a pavilion in the garden. She sat down and quietly admired the beautiful scenery around her, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Thinking back to what I saw of Jia Baoyu, since the magical jade became a decoration, the whole person has become tacky, and I don’t know what attracted these girls to him.

"Spirit, can you see Jia Baoyu's problem?"

"Master, at that time I discovered that his spiritual jade actually had an evil aura."

"At this moment, they are constantly absorbing their merits and luck, and the luck of Rongguo Mansion is also rapidly declining."

"I guess Fairy Jinghuan did something."

After hearing what the spirit of the weapon said, Xing Yuling asked it worriedly.

"Will my son be affected?"

"Master, young master, he is not the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, so he is not affected. In addition, he is the heir of the former crown prince, and he has a strong dragon aura."

"And that aura dare not touch the royal family, the dragon energy can hurt it."

No wonder in Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu never went to the palace to see Jia Yuanchun, and even the final outcome was just that he passed the imperial examination.

Since Wang Xifeng was no longer there to fill the gap, the monthly salary of Rongguo Mansion has been paid later and later, and less and less. In the past, although the monthly salary was occasionally delayed, the amount was still considerable. Now, except for the monthly salary of Jia Mu and Jia She, the monthly salary of other masters is only half of it, or even less. This makes some people who are used to a luxurious life feel dissatisfied.

Not only that, the girls' rouge and powder also changed. They used to use fine products, but now they used coarse rouge and powder. The amount of cloth for clothes in each season was reduced to only one or two sets, and the quality of the cloth was not as good as before, becoming coarse. Even the monthly wages of the maids and servants were delayed and much less.

Seeing that her monthly salary was already thirty taels short, Xing Yuling went straight to Mrs. Wang's residence to find her.

"Sister-in-law, my monthly salary is much less this month. Did you give me less?"

When Mrs. Wang saw Xing coming to her house, her eyelids twitched and her head started to hurt.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that Rongguo Mansion is in more and more trouble now. The shop has lost a lot of money, and it costs a lot of money to pay for social interactions. The monthly wages for the maids and servants in the entire Rongguo Mansion have also begun to decrease."

Mrs. Wang was there pretending to cry and wiping her tears.

What she didn't tell the truth was that a large part of the money was used to build relationships with Yuanchun in the palace, and Grandmother Jia turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

"Rongguo Mansion is inherited by our eldest branch! If you, the second branch, dare to deduct my monthly salary, if the matter cannot be resolved, then I can only ask the master for help."

Xing Yuling snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you are planning."

Mrs. Wang was a little nervous, with a trace of embarrassment and uneasiness on her face. She couldn't help wondering if her thoughts had been seen through. This feeling made her a little uncomfortable, but she still tried to stay calm.

"Sister-in-law, I still have some silver here. I'll give you the monthly allowance first. You can use it for emergency needs." As she spoke, she took out a silver note and handed it to her, trying to use this action to cover up her inner uneasiness.

Xing Yuling snorted with pride, took the banknote and turned away.

When she returned to the East Courtyard, she opened the silver bill in her hand and was instantly delighted.

The face value of the silver note was actually one thousand taels of silver.

In a panic, Mrs. Wang took the wrong banknote and gave her the one intended for her daughter Yuanchun.

Xing Yuling's face was filled with joy. In a very good mood, she took out a ten-liang silver ingot from her bosom, handed it to Yu Shui, and instructed: "Yu Shui, we are going to celebrate well at noon today, so take this silver to the kitchen and tell them to prepare a table of food for us!" After that, she patted Yu Shui's shoulder and told her to go quickly and come back soon.

Now, she no longer lacks money, but she feels extremely happy whenever she thinks about being able to humiliate Mrs. Wang.

Over the years, she and Xing's brother Xing Dequan opened many shops, the most eye-catching of which was the soap shop. This soap shop used her unique formula to produce a variety of soaps, not only in a wide variety of types, but also in different flavors, which was dazzling.

The powerful people in the capital rushed to buy it. The high officials, rich sons, ladies and other upper-class people sent their subordinates to buy it. For a time, the streets and alleys of the capital were bustling with people talking about it, surprised and curious about this phenomenon. Among these buyers, the most active ones were the ladies of various mansions. They not only bought it themselves, but also recommended it to other sisters.

Everyone in Rongguo Mansion was very jealous of this matter, and their hearts were full of jealousy and greed. Even a noble figure like Jia Mu was no exception. She became greedy for these wealth. And Jia Zheng even openly accused his wife, thinking that she was not capable of obtaining more benefits. This accusation made Mrs. Wang feel extremely wronged, and she also hated Xing.

When the kitchen brought over various meat dishes and a pot of good wine, she was in a very good mood and asked the maid beside her to eat and drink with her.

"I will make up for the monthly wages that have been shortfall in the mansion in the past few months." Xing Yuling was in a good mood and waved her hand, making sure that all the maids and servants in the courtyard had their monthly wages paid.

The maids were overjoyed and thanked the lady for her generosity with laughter.

After three rounds of drinking, Xing Yuling was a little tipsy, and with the help of Yu Shui, she went back to the bedroom to rest.

In her sleep, she felt someone was staring at her.

It turned out that Jia She had quietly come to her bedroom, sat beside the bed and stared at her.

"Yuling, I can only look at you like this when you are asleep or drunk."

Jia She's hand gently touched her cheek, and looking at her red face, Jia She's eyes revealed a hint of love. He slowly approached Xing Yuling and wanted to kiss her.

I touched her lips gently, feeling reluctant to leave.

Since the birth of Jia Ying, the two have never slept together.

As the heir of Rongguo Mansion and a tutor in the East Palace of the Crown Prince, how could Jia She not know the clues? He has a keen insight and can detect some clues. He may have noticed or discovered some unusual signs, but for some reason chose to remain silent.

What's worse, as Jia Ying grew up, he tried his best to prevent people from Rongguo Mansion from contacting him.
