Chapter 222: Red Mansion Lady Xing 42
The more Lin Daiyu thought about it, the more she felt it was strange. She decided to go to her grandmother's house to find out what was going on. When she arrived at her grandmother's house, she saw many familiar gold and jade items, and she was shocked. These things looked very much like the items her mother had brought as a dowry, and some of them had the mark of the Lin family. Lin Daiyu's heart was in a mess, and it was difficult for her to accept this fact. She felt like she was shrouded in a cloud of fog, her head was dizzy, and she seemed to have lost her sense of direction. However, she still tried to calm down and didn't want others to see the turmoil in her heart.
After paying her respects to Lady Jia in a daze, she turned around and left quickly. Every step she took seemed hurried and flustered, as if she wanted to escape from this suffocating place as soon as possible.
Xing Yuling's consciousness followed Lin Daiyu closely and soon arrived at the main hall of Rongqing Hall. As soon as she entered here, she felt a solemn atmosphere and also noticed that there were many precious items on display in the room. The first thing that caught her eye was a large white jade statue of Guanyin, which was more than one meter tall and placed in the center of the main room, which was particularly eye-catching. This statue of Guanyin was pure white, exquisitely carved, and lifelike. Guanyin Bodhisattva held a jade bottle in her hand, and a willow branch carved from jade was inserted in the bottle, which added a bit of mystery and solemnity.
Then, the divine consciousness floated into Jia's mother's bedroom, which was filled with all kinds of gorgeous furniture and decorations. Especially the dressing table, which was filled with all kinds of gold hairpins, jade ornaments, pearls, gems and other precious items, which were dazzling. These jewels were not only exquisitely shaped, but also of excellent quality, and were obviously carefully selected and made.
Xing Yuling noticed that there was an exquisite wooden box on the bedside of Jia's mother, inlaid with several dazzling gems. She approached the wooden box curiously, wanting to see what was inside.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside. Jia's mother walked into the bedroom with the support of Yuanyang. She sat at the dressing table with a tired face and let Yuanyang take off her hair accessories behind her.
After everyone had left, Grandmother Jia came to the bed and looked at the box.
Grandmother Jia looked at the box with a complicated expression, opened it carefully, and took out a dowry list, with various farms and shops underneath.
Looking at the familiar papers in front of her, Jia's eyes became cold. These pages were densely packed with records of various items and wealth, each of which was carefully selected by her as a dowry for her daughter Jia Min.
This dowry list was compiled by her personally for her daughter Jia Min, which contained countless precious properties, jewelry and various small items. However, now these things have returned to her hands.
"Min'er, if you had listened to your mother, you wouldn't have died so early."
"I have trained you to be so outstanding. Not only are you proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you also have no faults in etiquette. I spent a lot of effort to invite a nanny from the palace to teach you these things!"
"I didn't expect that you would live up to my love for you over the years and choose to marry into the Lin family."
Grandmother Jia suddenly became extremely hateful. She gritted her teeth and said, "In order for you to enter the palace smoothly, I did not hesitate to humble myself and ask Princess Nan'an to help smooth things over. But I never expected that in the end, you and your daughter would actually ask the emperor to grant you a marriage!" Her tone was full of anger and disappointment, as if she found all this unacceptable.
"This is all retribution. If you had listened to me at the beginning, this wouldn't have happened." Grandmother Jia suddenly laughed.
“This is what happens when you disobey me.”
"Yuanchun is very good. She continued the path you didn't take and became the virtuous concubine. Hahahaha... I am not wrong, you are the ones who are wrong."
Yes, Jia Min's dowry is all here with Grandmother Jia! However, many things are gone because Grandmother Jia gave them away as gifts.
A small number of them were sent to the palace by Grandmother Jia to be given to her granddaughter, the virtuous Concubine Yuanchun.
Xing Yuling was shocked when she heard this. She never thought that she would hear such an astonishing secret.
This also shows why Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber could not leave Rongguo Mansion alive. The Lin family's property had been swallowed up, Rongguo Mansion could not take it out, and her marriage with Jia Baoyu had no result. In order to prevent outsiders from talking, they could only let Lin Daiyu die of illness.
Xing Yuling's spiritual consciousness searched around Jia's grandmother's bedroom, and she noticed the dark room against the wall where the bed was.
She tried to enter the dark room and walked through the wall into the dark room.
There was only about ten square meters of space, with a lot of boxes piled up, and a treasure cabinet shelf containing a lot of precious porcelain, as well as tributes from the palace. In the middle was a red coral bonsai more than one meter high.
She returned along the same route and left Rongqing Hall.
After returning to her body, Xing Yuling fell into deep thought.
She thought, since Lady Jia had taken action against her, she would take the initiative.
Xing Yuling thought for a while and returned to the space.
In the dark place on the back of the mountain, a group of Yin Lingzhi are planted.
The soil for growing Yin Lingzhi was collected by her from the world of tomb raiders. It was dug from the deepest Yin Qi in the underground palace of Queen Mother of the West in Tamutuo, where the most people died. This kind of soil contains extremely strong Yin Qi and death Qi, and is the best soil for growing Yin Lingzhi. Yin Lingzhi itself is a very Yin thing, and it needs to grow in a very Yin and cold place. Therefore, only this special soil can make Yin Lingzhi thrive.
Moreover, the cultivation method of this Yin Lingzhi looks like poison, but in fact it is a good medicine for removing Yin Qi and poison. As long as it is used properly, it can play an unexpected role.
Wearing gloves and waders, Xing Yuling carefully came to the oldest Yin Lingzhi and used a small shovel to dig out some soil from the roots of the Yin Lingzhi.
After returning to the villa, he quickly put on a gas mask and walked into the kitchen. A strange smell filled the kitchen. He carefully pressed the mud into a small square module, turned on the gas stove, adjusted the flame to the maximum, and then carefully placed the soil block above the flame. The soil block began to slowly heat up, and the surface gradually became dry. As time went on, the color of the soil block gradually deepened, from the original dark brown to black, and finally turned into a hard charcoal-like object. Throughout the process, Xing Yuling kept wearing a gas mask to prevent inhalation of poisonous gas. When the soil block was completely baked into charcoal, the gas stove was turned off and allowed to cool naturally.
She turned and left this space, returning to the outside world.
As noon approached, the big kitchen became bustling with activity, as the cooks were busy preparing meals. They were busy shuttling between the stoves, skillfully stir-frying and stewing various ingredients, and waves of aroma filled the air.
There were many maids helping out, cutting and washing vegetables, setting the tableware, and wiping the table. Everyone worked hard in their respective positions. In addition, some younger girls were responsible for making fire. They squatted in front of the stove and carefully added firewood.
