The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

They earn far more money than the monthly allowance from the government!

Money gives you confidence!

Unless it's something within their job responsibilities, they won't discuss anything else.

Even if they leave the Rong Mansion, as long as the sales channels for their embroidery remain unaffected, their lives will be fine.

It can be said that the embroidery business alone changed the situation of too many maids and wives in the mansion.

In other words, they are not important characters in the original Dream of the Red Chamber. Otherwise, just from Jia Huan's troubles this time, he could have gained at least dozens or even hundreds of fortunes.

At that time, Jia Huan will also be able to indulge in a bit of luxury, directly consuming his luck to improve the efficiency of his breathing.

It's even possible that the fates of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian could be changed because of this.

However, there is too little time to see many clues yet.

In short, Jia Huan is currently focusing more on improving his luck as indicated by his cheat system, and he has no interest in or concern himself with Lin Daiyu's situation.

However, to Jia Huan's surprise, the famous scene of Lin Daiyu's first visit to the Rong Mansion did not happen because he did not get involved!

Chapter 29's iconic scene is gone (please continue reading)

Jia Huan only heard the news several days later, and in detail at that.

After all, Rongqing Hall is the core of the Rong Mansion and also the center of the entire Jia clan.

Whatever happens spreads quickly; there are no secrets.

Lin Daiyu's trip to the capital may not have been taken seriously by those within the Rong family, but it was of great interest to the peripheral branches and relatives.

The Salt Commissioner of Yangzhou was one of the most lucrative positions in the entire country!

Lin Ruhai's meager earnings were enough to feed an average family to the point of being well-fed and clothed, ensuring they would have no worries about food or shelter for the rest of their lives.

Then, the events that happened when Lin Daiyu first entered the Rong Mansion and was in Rongqing Hall became widely known.

This time, Jia Baoyu didn't manage to smash the jade with the phoenix egg!

It wasn't that he suddenly changed his personality, but rather that the timing was wrong.

When Jia Baoyu hurriedly returned from outside, the welcoming banquet at Rongqing Hall had already ended.

Upon meeting Lin Daiyu, he remarked, "I've seen this younger sister before."

But by then, Grandmother Jia had already gotten up to rest, and Madam Xing and Madam Wang had also left. All three sisters of the Spring sisters had left, and Lin Daiyu was just about to have a good rest. How could she have time to linger with him?

Without the grandeur of being surrounded by admirers, how could Jia Baoyu have so easily smashed the jade and caused such a ruckus?

That wasn't a child throwing a tantrum; it was pure fooling around and causing trouble.

Although the young man really wanted to get close to Lin Daiyu, unfortunately the timing wasn't right and he had to give up.

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but chuckle.

He saw the problem at a glance!

The support from Wang Xifeng's lively group was noticeably weaker than in the original novel.

Clearly, her business partnership with Jia Huan is thriving, which has led her to focus some of her attention on it. Her praise for Grandmother Jia remains undiminished, while she can ignore everyone else.

Without her actively maintaining the atmosphere, coupled with Lady Wang's intentional or unintentional targeting of Lin Daiyu, it would be strange if Grandmother Jia were in the mood to continue holding tea parties.

Tsk!

The famous scene from Dream of the Red Chamber is gone just like that, and it has something to do with me.

As for my mood, I'm actually feeling rather cheerful.

Jia Baoyu cannot be said to be uncultured, but he was spoiled and his personality was indeed somewhat eccentric.

Doesn't he consider whether his eccentric personality might bother his guests?

In the past, the incident of the broken jade in Rongqing Hall would have been the talk of the town in the backyard of the Rong Mansion for a long time.

Unconsciously, Lin Daiyu would be subjected to extremely negative public opinion.

The situation is different now. Most of the maids and wives in the backyard are focused on making money and have no time to pay attention to other people's gossip.

Just as Lin Daiyu lay down to rest, Zijuan, the head maid assigned to her by Grandmother Jia, began to do needlework by candlelight.

"Zijuan, what are you busy with?"

Although Lin Daiyu was exhausted, she was not sleepy. Seeing Zijuan busy by the candlelight, she asked curiously.

"Miss, I'm embroidering a purse!"

Zijuan turned around and chuckled, "It just so happens that we have connections in the manor to sell them and earn some extra income!"

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Could it be that the monthly allowance in the manor is insufficient?"

"The manor provides everything; it's a long-established practice!"

Zijuan hesitated, but seeing Lin Daiyu looking at her curiously, she still revealed a little information: "If you want to live a better life, you'll have to spend more money!"

"For example, the rouge and face powder provided by the manor are of such poor quality that we dare not put them on our faces at all; it could cause serious problems!"

"And in the main kitchen, if you want to eat dishes that are not included in the set menu, you will need to spend extra money!"

"Besides, socializing among sisters always involves some expenses!"

"Most of my monthly allowance goes to my family, leaving me with very little!"

"Without extra income, it's really hard to make ends meet!"

As Zijuan spoke, her needlework never stopped; she was definitely a skillful person.

Lin Daiyu and Xueyan, the little maid she brought from the Lin family, were both dumbfounded, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

"Then, what about the sisters and cousins ​​in the manor? Do they also need to pay extra money?"

Lin Daiyu quickly composed herself and asked curiously, "I don't think we need to, do we?"

"How could I not use it?"

Zijuan chuckled softly and said leisurely, "All the servants in the manor have eyes for wealth and hearts for respectability; they're all obsessed with money!"

"The only people in the mansion who will be unaffected are the old lady, the master and mistress, and Master Bao!"

Lin Daiyu remained silent, her feelings indescribably complex.

She hadn't expected that the Rong family's rules were so different from her own.

Everything costs money. Does that mean everything in the manor has become a servant's possession?

If it were the Lin family, any son who dared to cause trouble would definitely suffer the consequences.

After listening to Zijuan's story, the lofty image of her maternal grandmother's family in her heart, while not completely collapsed, was no longer so lofty and majestic.

The servants in the manor are all so arrogant; there's clearly a serious problem with the internal management.

Xueyan, standing to the side, was somewhat frightened and hurriedly asked, "Should I join them in doing needlework to earn money? My needlework skills aren't very good!"

"Let's take it slow. We'll talk about it after we're familiar with the situation in the manor!"

Zijuan smiled and said, "With Miss looking after you, I doubt you'll be short of money!"

"Don't worry, Xueyan, I can still make sure that those around me are not mistreated!"

Lin Daiyu chuckled and said, "When I came, my father told me to bring some silver with me!"

But I felt rather uncomfortable.

After all, she was visiting her maternal grandmother's house, not actually living under someone else's roof.

I never expected that my maternal grandmother's family would be in this situation; it was quite unexpected.

"By the way, Zijuan, you said there are ways to sell embroidery in the manor. Could it be that someone is doing this kind of business?"

Lin Daiyu changed the subject abruptly, saying incredulously, "Does Grandmother know that such things are a bit difficult to discuss?"

"It's the shop that was part of Second Madam Lian's dowry!"

Zijuan said dismissively, "The old lady probably knows, but she just hasn't asked about it!"

"All the maids and wives in the mansion must be grateful to Second Mistress Lian!"

Lin Daiyu was speechless for a while; that wasn't what she meant at all.

But since her maternal grandmother already knew, she, as an outsider, couldn't very well interfere.

However, something felt off. This was quite embarrassing, and I didn't know what my grandmother was thinking.

At this moment, a wave of fatigue washed over her, and Lin Daiyu quickly drifted off to sleep.

However, the teacher in her heart was always preoccupied with the extraordinary rules of the Rong family, making her feel very uncomfortable. She missed her home in Yangzhou and her father...

Chapter 30 Lin Daiyu's Shock (Please continue reading)

Lin Daiyu's life in the Rong Mansion did not cause much of a stir when she first entered the mansion.

As for the occasional malice in Madam Wang's words, it would be too much to ask a girl who is just over seven years old to understand.

Because of her young age, Lin Daiyu quickly adapted to the Rong Mansion environment.
