The mental state is beautiful

Chapter 199 Dream of Red Mansions Shi Xiangyun 2

Through his previous dreams, Shi Wu already knew the current attitude towards the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

The emperor will die sooner or later, and the current emperor will be the one in charge in the future, so Shi Wu decided to find an opportunity to join the current emperor. However, this matter needs to be kept secret and needs careful consideration.

Time passed quickly. When Yuchuan was five years old, his third uncle Shi Ding from Jinling hometown could not stand the pain and died on his sickbed.

Because Shi Ding was in Nanjing and had been ill for several years, no one suspected Shi Wu at all.

Yuchuan knew that it was his father Shi Wu who deliberately kept his third uncle Shi Ding alive, letting his body be eroded by pain, lying on his sickbed day after day without even seeing the sunlight, punishing his body and mind.

As for my second uncle Shi Nai, he has always been in poor health. He has drunk a lot of strong and dangerous drugs over the years just to leave offspring and let my second aunt He give him a son.

As a result, not to mention a son, there was no sign of pregnancy at all.

No matter how Shi Nai and He Shi struggle, it will not affect the Baolinghou Mansion in the capital.

Shi Wu and Hua had a good relationship, and their beloved daughter Yuchuan played a role in mediating between them. Over the years, the couple had never quarreled. Perhaps Shi Wu's love for Hua had attracted the attention of other women in the capital, and there were rumors recently that Hua was jealous.

Although Shi Wu repeatedly stated that he was busy with military affairs and did not need to take a concubine, Hua Shi could not help but consider the family's reputation.

So in the end, Hua married Liu, a big maid in the house, to be her concubine.

After this incident, there were fewer rumors outside.

However, when the female relatives found out that Shi Wu never went to visit Aunt Liu after returning home, they became even angrier.

Yuchuan was speechless. She simply created a group of puppets, and as a result, these female relatives who liked to gossip suddenly had a few more concubines in their homes, and each of them was very difficult to deal with.

At the same time, five years after Yuchuan was born, Hua became pregnant again.

Over the years, Grandmother Jia has been trying to bring Yuchuan and Jia Baoyu together.

However, the historians really looked down on Jia Baoyu, who dressed like a big red envelope all day and was spoiled and lustful. Moreover, Yuchuan was now the eldest daughter of the Marquis and a county lady personally appointed by the emperor, while Jia Baoyu was only the second son of a fifth-rank official, so their status did not match.

Perhaps Grandmother Jia realized this belatedly. Although she felt very sorry, she did not want to be alienated from her natal family, so she never mentioned it again.

Yuchuan has grown rapidly in recent years. Not only does he look more and more like his own soul, he is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. This makes Shi Wu and Hua very proud.

Looking throughout the capital, it is difficult to find a girl better than his own daughter.

However, Shi Wu was well aware of the importance of concealing one's shortcomings over the years, and he had managed to keep the Shi family in such a tight control that not even a fly could escape. Therefore, outsiders had no way of knowing about these things happening at home.

Hua and Shi Wu stood on the same front on this point. After all, in the capital, if one's status was not high enough, the more outstanding one was, the more likely one would attract disaster.

After ten months of pregnancy, the baby finally matures.

Hua gave birth safely, and the midwife came out holding a blue swaddling cloth. "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lady gave birth safely, and a baby boy was born!"

The father and daughter were overjoyed to hear this. With a male child, the family title could be passed down, and Yuchuan would have a brother to rely on in the future.

Don’t you see that Lin Daiyu, such a beautiful and intelligent person, has no brothers to rely on, so after her father left, she could only live under someone else’s roof and be bullied by the gossip of servants?

After Yuchuan secretly fed his younger brother the wisdom pill, the fitness pill, the immunity pill and the beauty pill, he wanted to go into the house to check on his mother's condition.

Unexpectedly, Fei Yun, the maidservant beside her mother, stepped forward to stop her and said, "My Lady, you cannot enter and leave the delivery room at will. You are an unmarried woman, and the Madam has told you not to go in."

Yuchuan did not embarrass Feiyun, but just asked about her mother's situation through the window. She could not challenge the rules here at will, otherwise she would be targeted by others.

Now Yuchuan is six years old, Jia Baoyu's "big red envelope" is seven years old, and Lin Daiyu is also six years old. I think in a few months, Lin Daiyu will go to Beijing and enter the Jia Mansion.

Originally, Jia Baoyu liked Yuchuan very much when he saw her. It was because Yuchuan was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament, like a jade doll without any impurities. Moreover, her facial features were delicate and she was full of spirit, but she had an oval face, which made her look gentler and more elegant. Didn't Jia Baoyu, a veteran face control, like to pester Yuchuan?

Yuchuan had no intention of being involved with Jia Baoyu, so he cast a spell on Jia Baoyu, making him subconsciously ignore his existence.

Despite this, Yuchuan was still dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's occasional entanglement.

She no longer had the affection she had for having lived with Lady Jia for so long as she had in her childhood, nor had she ever been served by Xiren, so when she apologized to Xiren and said she forgave her, she was actually thinking about how to take revenge.

The most valuable item on Jia Baoyu's body is the spiritual jade. It is said to be refined from the sky-repairing stone and has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for thousands of years, making it very spiritual.

Yuchuan thought of Fairy Jinghuan's plan, which was to let the attendant Shenying, a group of flower fairies and others be infected by the resentment of infatuated men and women during their training in the mortal world, so as to take away their fairy spirit and the spiritual power in the spiritual jade.

The families where these flower fairies are born are mostly families with great merit and fortune, or families that are related to them.

Fairy Jinghuan took away the luck of these people and led them to ruin, causing the flower fairies to enjoy a life of luxury and decadence and become unable to extricate themselves in the process. In the end, their dreams were shattered and they fell into the abyss.

How could the flower fairies not feel resentful after falling from heaven into the mortal world? They had been infatuated men and women for many years, and once they were entangled with resentment, no matter how much fairy power they had, they could not keep it.

From the perspective of heaven, even if these flower fairies failed in their attempt to overcome the tribulations they encountered when they came down to earth, no one would speak up for them.

Fairy Jinghuan had concealed the fact that she had lured the flower fairies to descend to the mortal world by using the beauty of mortal love.

To outsiders, it seemed that these flower fairies voluntarily found Fairy Jinghuan and signed up to come down to the mortal world to experience trials and tribulations.

As for the spiritual jade, it was obtained by deceiving two lackeys, Mangmang Dashi and Kongkong Daoist, whom Fairy Jinghuan found in the mortal world.

The spiritual jade, which had just gained spiritual consciousness and had never experienced the trials of worldly life, was coaxed by two lackeys with just a few words and "voluntarily" descended to the mortal world to experience the beauty of this earthly world.

The so-called Great Master Mangmang and Taoist Kongkong are nothing but the transformations of the centipede demon and the scorpion demon.

As for the love-hate relationship between the Fairy Shenying and the Fairy Jiangzhu, it was all a scam.

The Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl grows by the river, so why does it need the Attendant Shenying to water it?

It was just that Fairy Jinghuan deceived Fairy Jiangzhu, who had just transformed into a human form, and described the casual act of Fairy Shenying watering as a great favor, and coaxed her to come down to the human world to "repay the favor."

The simple Fairy Crimson Pearl had just become a flower fairy when she was tricked into the mortal world and died from tears.

The attendant Shenying needed to go to the mortal world to gain experience, which was why Fairy Jinghuan used him to gain fairy power.

If the attendant Shenying successfully passes the calamity, then Fairy Jinghuan can only obtain the fairy power of the flower fairies and the spiritual power of the spiritual jade; if the attendant Shenying fails to pass the calamity, then Fairy Jinghuan can obtain both the fairy power of the attendant Shenying and the fairy power of the spiritual jade.

Fairy Jinghuan deceived her superiors and subordinates, and obtained the accumulated merits and fortune of the mortal families, the magical powers of the flower fairies and the attendant Shenying, and the spiritual power of the spiritual jade.

The Shi family, to which the original owner belonged, had their fortunes taken away because of the plot of Fairy Jinghuan. The original owner's family was broken up, and the original owner lost both his parents at a young age and had to live under someone else's roof.

Yuchuan would never let the spiritual power of the spiritual jade, the stone that repairs the sky, be taken away by Fairy Jinghuan. Therefore, every time she approached Jia Baoyu, she absorbed some of the spiritual power from the spiritual jade, refined it, and integrated it into her own soul.

It is indeed a sky-repairing stone that absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon. It has pure spiritual power and is a rare treasure.

It was done in small amounts and multiple times, so it did not attract the attention of Fairy Jinghuan.

A few months later, Lin Daiyu came to Beijing.

Yuchuan knew that now was not the time to visit. It would take a few days until Sister Lin was properly arranged in Rongguo Mansion before she could go with her mother to visit.

So Yuchuan just stayed patient and played with his babbling brother at home.

Because Lin Daiyu was the only blood descendant of Shi Wu's cousin Jia Min, a few days later, Hua personally took Yuchuan to Rongguo Mansion to meet the child.

Lin Daiyu was shocked when she saw the Yun'an Xiangjun that her mother had often mentioned. She could not have imagined that this Yun'an Xiangjun was even better than her mother praised him to be.

Yuchuan looked at Daiyu's residence, and it was still the green gauze cabinet in the original plot.

Although Grandmother Jia made such arrangements to prove her closeness to and special care for Daiyu, it was inappropriate to let Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, who was already seven years old, squeeze together.

Boys and girls are not allowed to sit at the same table after the age of seven, but everyone in the mansion doted on Jia Baoyu and treated him as an ignorant child. It was unclear whether they were loving him or harming him.

Now there is only a thin layer of spiritual power left in the spiritual jade, and Yuchuan is not going to absorb this little bit of spiritual power anymore.

When Yuchuan saw that Jia Baoyu was still the same even without the influence of the spiritual power of the spiritual jade, he knew that this might be the nature of the attendant Shenying.

Because she was just a guest at the Jia Mansion, she could not bring up anything that was not right and embarrass the host. Moreover, Grandmother Jia was Lin Daiyu's proper grandmother, and she had not made any arrangements. If others brought it up, they would only be asking for trouble and would probably be annoyed by Grandmother Jia.

"This is someone else's business. We just need to be polite and not put the cart before the horse and meddle in other people's business. We need to know our limits."

On the way back, Hua held Yuchuan's hand and taught him carefully. Yuchuan leaned his head gently on his mother's lap, thinking that the original owner was taken advantage of by Xue Baochai several times because he did not have such careful teaching from his mother.

Let’s just talk about that crab feast.

The original owner, a girl from the Shi family, exposed the family's financial difficulties in public, which made Jia Mu, the aunt of the Shi family, unhappy. When she was entertaining guests at the Jia Mansion, she didn't tell Jia Mu, a real relative, that she didn't have enough money, but went to borrow from Xue Baochai, an outsider. Doesn't this mean that Jia Mu and her are not close enough? Doesn't this mean that the Jia Mansion is not as considerate as Xue Baochai, the guest?

After the crab feast, everyone praised Xue Baochai's kindness. The servants also thought Xue Baochai was generous, which made Xue Baochai's reputation among the servants in the Jia family rise a lot.

Those crabs were actually caught by the servants in the Xue family's shop and were not worth much in Grandmother Jia's eyes.

Xue Baochai used such a low cost to step on Lady Jia's granddaughter and niece to make a name for herself in the Jia family, and the original owner was foolish enough to speak well of Xue Baochai. This was also one of the reasons why Lady Jia later alienated herself from the original owner.

Although the original owner was open-minded and cheerful, he also lacked love.

So when Xue Baochai appeared as an intimate older sister, it seemed as if she had filled the gap in the image of the sister or mother that the original owner wanted most in her childhood.

It was not until the last Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner that the original owner completely recognized Xue Baochai's true cold-hearted and profit-seeking nature.

But by then it was too late for the original owner to mend her aunt's heart, who had already become disappointed with her. In addition, she was about to get married and could no longer come to the Jia Mansion often.

Yuchuan now has a happy family and a mother who cares about her and teaches her every bit of the ways of the world. She will not repeat the same mistakes.

Not long after, the Xue family also came to Beijing.

Xue Pan still beat Feng Yuan to death. Aunt Xue asked her sister, Mrs. Wang, for help. Finally, the Jia family intervened on Xue Pan's behalf and kept him safe for the time being.

On the day when the Xue family entered the Jia Mansion, Yuchuan naturally did not go to see them.

Because she was learning how to manage accounts! In recent years, Yuchuan rarely hid his incompetence in front of his mother and came up with many good ideas to make money. It can be said that the assets of the Baolinghou Mansion have increased several times.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the present emperor, Shi Wu often donated money, and in one fell swoop paid off the silver that the Shi family owed to the Ministry of Revenue, which made the present emperor very satisfied.

Moreover, Hua often asked the servants in the marquis's mansion to distribute porridge and do charity. Now, the reputation of Mrs. Baoling's kindness is very high among the people.

In order not to stand out from the crowd, Hua also sought out a few ladies from other families with whom she was on good terms, so she did not stand out.
