Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Chapter 223: Red Mansion Lady Xing 43

Under the scorching sun, Jia She staggered into the vermilion gate, beads of sweat on his forehead dripping down his cheeks.

The maids at the door saw this and quickly brought a basin of cool water and a clean towel. Jia She sat on the chair as if relieved, his clothes already soaked with sweat.

Xing Yuling, who was busy in the house, suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. She couldn't help but feel curious, so she put down her work and walked out of the room quickly. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh. Jia She was standing there, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and there were traces of sweat on his face. He looked very embarrassed.

Xing Yuling covered her lips lightly and asked with a smile: "Where did you go today, Master? Why are you in such a state, covered in sweat?" When Jia She saw his wife coming out, he stepped forward and wanted to explain. While tidying up his clothes, he said: "Madam, please don't laugh at me. Today, Jia Zhen invited many dignitaries to the banquet. I drank a few more glasses of wine during the banquet and talked with everyone for a long time, so I came back in such a state." After saying that, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Xing Yuling told Xiaoman to go to the bedroom and get a set of the master's clothes.

Jia Hao couldn't wait to take off his heavy clothes and put on a set of light and breathable clothes. At this moment, he finally recovered some spirit and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Yu Shui saw that it was getting late, so he asked someone to serve the meal.

After lunch, Jia She and Xing Yuling chatted for a while and talked about Jia Ying.

"Brother Ying, I don't know what's going on now."

When Xing Yuling heard what he said, she couldn't suppress the longing in her heart.

"He has someone as experienced and well-educated as Mr. Lu looking after him, and he is also protected by his loyal subordinates who he personally trained and left behind. There will definitely be no mistakes."

Jia She was silent at this moment, just holding her soft and delicate little hand tightly.

"Prince Kangping can't stand it any longer"

After a long while, Xing Yuling came back to her senses and murmured to herself, "I had a premonition, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon..."

Jia She continued, "Prince Kangping is now terminally ill and I'm afraid he only has a few days to live. The Supreme Emperor is extremely anxious and has specially dispatched several skilled imperial physicians to diagnose his pulse, hoping that he can have a glimmer of hope. However, even these experienced imperial physicians are helpless!" There was pain in his words.

"The prince's bloodline must not be cut off! Ying'er, don't let him come back..." Jia She's voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, Jia She had only one thought in his mind - he must do everything he can to protect the prince's remaining bloodline.

He was even somewhat glad that they had Jia Ying by chance.

Xing Yuling's eyes flashed with determination, "No matter what, we must protect Ying'er."

Jia She took a deep breath and said, "I have sent people to protect him secretly and will never let him be in any danger."

The couple looked at each other, both filled with worry about their son.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

The housekeeper hurried in, bowed and said, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Jia She and Xing Yuling felt nervous, "Could something have happened over there?"

"My Lord, it was the Virtuous Consort who said so."

Jia She frowned, "Do you know what this is about?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know. The old lady asked the masters to go to the front gate."

Jia She glanced at Xing Yuling and said, "Let's hurry over there."

The couple turned around and followed the housekeeper away.

Xing Yuling's mood became increasingly heavy, and she prayed that everything would be safe and sound.

It turned out that after Jia Yuanchun came home to visit her parents, she thought of her sisters' loneliness and ordered them to live in the Grand View Garden. This was also to prevent the Grand View Garden from being abandoned.

After receiving the imperial edict, Jia Mu and others let all the family descendants live in the Grand View Garden.

Jia Baoyu was arranged to live in Yihong Courtyard. This Yihong Courtyard is really beautiful and magnificent! From a distance, you can see pavilions and towers in an orderly manner, with carved beams and painted buildings; from a close look, you can see exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty, and lush green trees.

Lin Daiyu and others also chose suitable courtyards to live in.

Xing Yuling rolled her eyes after hearing the decree. Jia Baoyu also moved into the Grand View Garden, but he didn't know how to avoid suspicion. Was Jia Yuanchun really unaware or was she just pretending to be blind?

Just then everyone gathered in Rongqing Hall to listen to Grandmother Jia's instructions.

Xing Yuling was closer to Jia Mu's couch, holding tightly in her hand a piece of charcoal as black as ink.

The charcoal block was ejected at an astonishing speed! Like an arrow shot from a bow, the charcoal block accurately drilled into the narrow gap between the couch and the head of the bed and disappeared without a trace.

The whole action was done in one go, without any drag.

At this moment, Jia Mu and others were talking about Concubine Xian De's affairs in the harem and did not notice her.

Mrs. Wang straightened her back very proudly towards the eldest wife and others.

Xing Yuling raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Madam Wang with a half-smile, and said softly: "The struggle in the harem is not simpler than that in the palace. It would be best if there is a prince."

Mrs. Wang's face changed and she was about to refute, but was interrupted by Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia looked at Xing Yuling and said with a smile: "You are right. The struggles in the harem are indeed complicated. As the eldest aunt, you should help Yuanchun more."

Grandmother Jia turned to look at Jia Lian and his wife, "You should also pay more attention to Baoyu. He is still young and lives in the Grand View Garden. You need to take good care of him."

Jia Lian and his wife quickly agreed.

At this time, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Since my sisters have all moved into the Grand View Garden, why don't we hold a poetry gathering to liven things up for everyone."

This proposal received a positive response from everyone, and everyone expressed their agreement.

Xing Yuling lowered her head and glanced at Lady Jia with a smile.

Xiaoxiang Pavilion on the other side.

Lin Daiyu frowned and walked slowly to the window with a sad face, thinking about how to get out of the Jia Mansion. When she thought about leaving this familiar environment, she couldn't help but feel helpless and confused.

Not far away, a noisy sound reached my ears. People were talking and chatting among themselves.

"Miss Bao is really generous! Look at the silver money she gave as a reward, it's so much, it's astonishing!" someone said with envy on his face.

Another person echoed, "That's right! In comparison, Miss Lin seems a little stingy. Alas, after all, she comes from a poor family and is a daughter of a ruined family. How much money can she have?" His words were full of contempt and disdain for Lin Daiyu.

Some even sighed directly: "It would be great if Miss Bao could become the second young master's wife in our house! Not only does she have a wealthy family, but she is also open-minded and generous, and gives a lot of money." It seems that in their eyes, Xue Baochai is the most ideal candidate.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyes turned red with anger and tears fell.

I made up my mind and prepared to write a letter to my father's mentor asking for help.
