The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Don't stand out too much; be aware of your status as an illegitimate son!

Even if someone is ignorant and incompetent outside, they will still be under her tight control.

What happened this time must never be allowed to happen again.

Jia Huan's affair was clearly just a minor incident in Rongqing Hall, and it had no impact on the normal lives of those present.

They continued joking and having fun as if nothing had happened.

"You unlucky seed, how can you be so reckless?"

As soon as Jia Huan returned to his residence, he was grabbed by Aunt Zhao and then subjected to a barrage of words.

Seeing Aunt Zhao's haggard appearance and reddened eyes, Jia Huan could only let her do as she pleased.

Although he had instructed his blood uncle Zhao Guoji to come and comfort Aunt Zhao when he left three days ago, and to subtly explain the inside story.

But he also knew that Aunt Zhao would never be completely at ease.

Not to mention, the maids and servants on the second wife's side are hardly any good people. They might be gossiping and spreading rumors in front of Aunt Zhao, making Aunt Zhao's already uneasy mind even more anxious.

After finally calming down the agitated Aunt Zhao, it was already noon.

After quickly taking a bath and changing his clothes, he came out and saw the familiar three dishes and a soup on the table. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it, the manor really doesn't treat people well."

Having just come from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, shouldn't we at least prepare a decent feast to calm our nerves?

As a result, in addition to the normal portion, that bowl of chicken soup must have been bought with extra money by Aunt Zhao.

For once, Aunt Zhao didn't grumble or complain; she just kept urging Jia Huan to drink more nourishing chicken soup.

Jia Huan was somewhat amused and exasperated; the food he ate at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's residence for three days was indeed quite good.

There was plenty of meat and fish at every meal, but no drinks were provided.

He knew that Aunt Zhao wouldn't believe him if he told her these things, so he could only accept her kindness. He finished off almost two pounds of chicken and a considerable amount of soup all by himself.

Fortunately, Jia Huan had a method of breathing exercises, otherwise his stomach definitely wouldn't have been able to handle that kind of eating.

But seeing this, Aunt Zhao felt a pang of heartache. She really thought that Jia Huan had suffered a great deal at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's residence, otherwise how could he eat so much?

What else could Jia Huan say?

After much effort, they managed to calm Aunt Zhao down and let her have a good rest at noon.

This time, Madam Wang was generous and didn't let Aunt Zhao go over to serve the meal.

Clearly, Aunt Zhao had been living in fear and anxiety for the past few days, and her mental energy was greatly depleted. As soon as she relaxed, she fell into a deep sleep, without needing Jia Huan to stay with her and comfort her.

At this moment, Jia Huan was actually in a pretty good mood!

Just as he had guessed, the Second Master Zheng should take action.

Otherwise, he had received almost VIP treatment at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's office, so how did he get there?

Someone must have contacted the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and it wasn't just one or two.

Otherwise, given the power and influence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, why would they easily give face to outsiders?

It's unclear whether Master Zheng has figured it out yet, as quite some time has passed.

Since the old lady had told him not to go out easily, Jia Huan naturally had to give her some face and stay in the mansion for at least ten days or half a month.

They didn't feel lonely or bored, as Cong-ge'er was also holed up in the main house.

I arrived early after lunch, planning to go to our usual spot with Jia Huan to practice and cause trouble.

After more than a year of conditioning and training, his body was now a full size larger than when he first left the manor to go to the clan school.

It's not that I've gotten fatter, but rather that I've grown taller, and I haven't lost any weight; I look much more lean and fit.

By the time they reach eleven or twelve years old, their height and build will likely be comparable to that of a typical fifteen-year-old boy, and they'll be ready to venture out and claim territory.

Although I didn't put too much effort into my studies, I still managed to finish most of the elementary education.

In terms of progress, it's not bad at all!

While the eldest son's wife remained largely ignored, the maids and servants below her no longer dared to disregard or even mock her as they had done in the past.

What a joke! Just based on Cong-ge'er's rapid physical growth, they wouldn't dare to act too recklessly.

What if Cong-ge'er holds a grudge and seeks revenge when he gets older?

The Rong family's sons are all snobbish, but that also shows they value their lives. How could they risk their future by betting on whether Cong-ge would dare to fight back?

Aunt Zhao was also happy to see Jia Huan and Cong Ge'er become friends; otherwise, it would be truly tragic if he didn't even have a single friend to play with in the mansion.

If you spend all your time gambling with a bunch of maids and boys like in the original story, you'll ruin your life.

How can someone who has picked up so many bad habits at such a young age be any better when they grow up?

Just as Jia Huan was about to get up and go to their usual spot with Cong Ge'er, Ying'er, Xue Baochai's maid, suddenly arrived, leaving him completely bewildered.

This was the first time he had met this famous maid from the Dream of the Red Chamber. He had no connection with Xue Baochai, and they hadn't even seen each other more than a few times.

Fortunately, Ying'er didn't waste any time and directly stated her purpose: Xue Pan invited her to a banquet at Lixiang Courtyard tomorrow at noon, which would also serve as a welcome dinner.

"Please thank Brother Xue for me, and tell him I will definitely be there on time tomorrow!"

Jia Huan smiled gently and accepted Xue Pan's kindness.

This guy isn't very bright, and he's really not very talkative with his friends.

He knew, of course, that Xue Pan couldn't have done such a meticulous job; it must have been Xue Baochai who helped him find and fill in the gaps.

In fact, given the current hot weather, hosting a dinner party in the evening would be the most sincere way to show respect. I believe Xue Pan must have thought so too, and that's what he arranged.

However, he certainly didn't consider that by the time the banquet was over, it would be completely dark.

Given Jia Huan's status in the mansion, it would be absolutely impossible for him to sneak into the backyard at night.

Let's hope that our good intentions in welcoming you back don't end up making everyone feel awkward.

Therefore, scheduling the welcome banquet at noon is quite appropriate.

The sweltering heat may be a torment for ordinary people and even moderately well-off families, but for a super-rich family like the Xue family, it's nothing at all.

After watching Ying'er's graceful figure disappear from sight, Jia Huan and Cong'er went to their usual spot and had another round of fun to vent their energy.

On the virtual panel evolved by the Golden Finger, the progress bar for the Breathing and Exhalation skill has only reached 0.8%, still some distance from 0.1%.

Even so, Jia Huan felt that his physical qualities were quite outstanding in all aspects.

At least, he's better than Cong-ge'er, who has worked hard to master the basics of martial arts!

Whether it's strength, speed, or agility, if he were to unleash his full potential, he could definitely completely overwhelm Cong-ge'er; it's just that he has never shown it.

His training method is very discreet; all he needs to do is keep running and coordinate with his breathing rhythm.

To outsiders, it might seem like nothing, but no one knows that in this process, Jia Huan's entire body was exercised, resulting in a comprehensive improvement.

Unfortunately, his understanding of breathing techniques at this time was still very superficial.

There was simply no way for him to guide and teach Cong-ge'er; otherwise, Cong-ge'er's training progress wouldn't be much slower than his, and the gap would only widen in the future.

Fortunately, everyone is still quite young. Once his breathing and breathing techniques have improved and his medical skills have reached a certain level, it won't be too late to tailor a breathing and breathing method specifically for Cong-ge.

Just like Guo Jing in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, his true breakthrough began with the cultivation of the Quanzhen Martial Arts.

He was quite old at that time, especially considering his age for martial arts training.

They were exhausted by evening when they finally returned to their respective homes.

He had just changed his clothes and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy a bite when the servant of Master Zheng came to deliver the pastries that Aunt Zhao had bought with extra money, ordering him to go to the study immediately.

On the way, he didn't ask the servant what was going on; there was no need!

When the second master of the government was in office, he acted like a hands-off manager.

He truly washed his hands of the matter, and didn't even understand the scope of his responsibilities or what the situation was.

As a result, Jia Lian was forcibly trained and, despite being a sixth-rank official in the Court of Imperial Stud, did the work of a fourth-rank Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud.

This is also the main reason why he is so busy all day long and almost became exhausted during the adaptation period.

But as long as you get through the most difficult period, and become familiar with and adapt to it, your abilities will definitely grow by leaps and bounds.

At least, his current abilities have reached the fourth-rank level, and he can handle any job, whether it's a fourth-rank job or a regular fourth-rank job.

The two of them walked at a brisk pace and soon arrived at the second gate's study.

Upon seeing Jia Huan, Master Zheng's expression remained serious, but his eyes held a hint of admiration.

After scrutinizing Jia Huan for a while, he asked, "You didn't suffer any losses at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's place, did you?"

"How can that be possible?"

Jia Huan laughed heartily and flattered, "Master, your efforts in running around outside have yielded quite good results!"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard must have felt the pressure. They've been very polite to me, not even putting me in a prison cell, but instead keeping me in the reception hall!"

"The weather is fine right now, so even if we just sleep on the floor, it doesn't feel difficult at all!"

"Excellent, excellent, very good!"
