Chapter 182: Red Mansion Lady Xing 2
"The eldest lady of the Rongguo Mansion passed away a year ago. She left behind a son, so there is nothing to worry about." Xing's mother covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled.
"Mother, I don't like being someone else's stepmother," Xing Yuling frowned unhappily.
"Oh, my dear daughter," Xing's mother held her daughter's hand and explained softly.
"It's not that I covet their wealth and splendor, but your father holds a low position in government, and the candidates I can choose for you are all from poor families or illegitimate children. I don't want my daughter, who was raised in pampering, to have a hard life."
Mother Xing looked a little worried when she finished speaking.
"Mrs. Jia of Rongguo Mansion wants to find a woman with a humble family background so that she can be easily controlled. If you marry her, you will be a first-rank imperial lady, with a higher status than Wang, the second wife. As long as you coax Jia She to give birth to a legitimate son, your second half of life will be secure." Xing's mother knew that Mrs. Jia was a difficult person to get along with. When looking for a marriage partner for her eldest son, she deliberately chose a girl with a lower status than the original wife. This girl was of ordinary birth and simple family background. Compared with the original wife of the eldest son of the Jia family, there is indeed a certain gap.
Xing Yuling listened to her mother's words, although she was still a little reluctant, but she also understood the interests involved. She knew that her family was not rich, and if she did not marry into the Jia family, it would be difficult to find a better home.
"My daughter knows. It's all up to you, mother." Xing Yuling sighed softly.
Seeing this, Xing's mother was secretly delighted and quickly said, "Don't worry, my dear daughter. I will arrange everything for you. Although the Jia family is of high status, we don't have to be afraid of them. As long as you are careful in what you say and do, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Jia Mansion."
"Mother, I understand. I will consider it." Xing Yuling said softly.
A few days later, the Xing family welcomed the matchmaker from Rongguo Mansion, and the two sides discussed the details of the marriage. Soon after, Xing Yuling married into Rongguo Mansion and became Jia She's second wife. Although the future life is full of unknowns, she decided to face it bravely and strive for her own happiness.
The Xing family prepared 78 sets of dowry, including more than ten sets of gold, silver and jewelry, dazzling and shining with luxurious light. 30 sets of delicate silk brocade, colorful and silky. Exquisite furniture, exquisite craftsmanship, exudes a strong cultural atmosphere. There are also precious antiques and calligraphy and paintings brought out by Xing's father, each of which can be called a work of art. Xing's mother also took out a small village on the outskirts of the capital with acres of medium-quality farmland and three shops from her dowry. Xing Dequan was very dissatisfied when he heard that his sister was getting married. At this point, he could only arrange the dowry for his sister. He took out a lot of silver from his private room and made a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Mrs. Wang, the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, arranged 20 boxes of betrothal gifts for the eldest master Jia She. The boxes were filled with outdated silks and satins that looked good but were useless, or some small amounts of gold and jade jewelry to show off. The remaining boxes were filled with books. Mrs. Wang was short-sighted and had no idea that these books were confiscated and confiscated by the Duke of Rong during the war. They contained precious and rare books. The Duke of Rong was a rough man, but because his wife came from a scholarly family and liked these things, she would always give priority to books and paintings when selecting spoils of war. His colleagues had no objections, as they all liked gold and silver and thought that the Duke of Rong was considerate of his subordinates.
On the wedding day, Xing Yuling wore a gorgeous wedding dress, colorful yet elegant. She wore a red robe embroidered with exquisite patterns, such as peonies and butterflies, symbolizing happiness and beauty. The neckline of the wedding dress is uniquely designed, sometimes with golden trims to add a sense of nobility. The sleeves are wide and embroidered with delicate patterns, fluttering in the wind like a fairy dancing. The bride wore a gorgeous headdress on her head, decorated with pearls, gems and jade, shining with charming light. The headdress has a complex shape, highlighting the beauty and dignity of the bride. With such a wedding dress, the bride is like a person in a painting, beautiful and moving. Beautiful and moving. She walked into the Rongguo Mansion, where the marriage of wood, stone and gold was about to take place, with trepidation in her heart.
Xing Yuling was waiting for Jia She's arrival in the bridal chamber, hoping that Jia She would not look too ugly.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Jia She walked in, lifting the red veil with a slightly rude movement. He looked at the beautiful Xing Yuling, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Jia She approached Xing Yuling, gently lifted her chin, looked into her eyes and said, "You are so beautiful." Xing Yuling's face instantly turned red, she lowered her head and responded shyly, "Thank you, husband." Jia She smiled, then sat on the bed and chatted with Xing Yuling. Xing Yuling found that Jia She was not as unlearned as the rumors said, but he was handsome with upright features and some military temperament. The atmosphere of their conversation gradually became relaxed and pleasant, and Xing Yuling also felt a little relaxed.
However, Xing Yuling found that there was not much enthusiasm in Jia She's eyes. She was not surprised, but she tried her best to appear generous and easy-going.
Jia She looked at the shy beauty in front of him, and his heart could not help but move. He reached out his hand, gently stroked Xing Yuling's hair, and said, "You will be my wife in the future. Tell me if you need anything." Xing Yuling nodded slightly, feeling a little touched. Jia She stood up, walked to the table, and poured two glasses of wine. He handed one of the glasses to Xing Yuling and said, "After drinking this cup of wedding wine, we will be husband and wife." Xing Yuling took the wine glass and drank it with Jia She. After drinking the wine, Jia She blew out the candle, and the room suddenly became dark. Xing Yuling's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and she was not disgusted by what happened next. Jia She slowly approached Xing Yuling, and his breathing gradually became heavy. Just as he was about to kiss Xing Yuling's lips, there was a sudden noise outside. "What's going on?" Jia She frowned, turned around, opened the door and walked out. Xing Yuling breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little curious. She tidied her clothes and followed Jia She out of the room. It turned out that it was Jia She's concubines who were quarreling. They were dissatisfied when they saw Jia She marry a new wife, so they deliberately came to make trouble. Jia She looked at them gloomily and scolded them, "What are you doing? If you don't want to stay here, get out!" The concubines were so scared that they dared not speak, and they all bowed their heads to admit their mistakes. Jia She snorted and turned back to the room. Xing Yuling looked at this scene and knew that the days to come might not be too peaceful.
Seeing that everything was fine, Jia She took Xing Yuling in his arms and went back to the bridal chamber.
Jia She comforted Xing Yuling, saying, "Don't take them to heart." He then dismissed all the servants, leaving only the two of them in the room. Jia She pecked Xing Yuling's cheek, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, let's rest early." After saying that, he carried Xing Yuling sideways and walked towards the bed. Xing Yuling's heart was pounding, and her face flushed. Jia She gently put her on the bed, and then pressed on her... After a lovemaking session, Jia She hugged Xing Yuling and fell asleep.
