The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

It is only said that his parents died early and he was raised by Jia Zhen, the master of Ning Mansion.

The environment of the Kening Mansion can only be described as filthy. If Jia Qiang said he wasn't affected, no one would believe it.

There are quite a few rumors and gossip about Jia Qiang.

There's no way around it, this guy is just too handsome.

She doesn't possess much masculine charm, but if she were dressed as a woman, she would be an absolute beauty.

The name of Jia Zhen, the master of Ning Mansion, can only be described as disgusting.

This guy not only has a thing for beautiful women, but he's the kind who's attracted to both men and women.

Jia Qiang grew up in the Ning Mansion, so it was inevitable that he would be the target of some unsavory rumors and slander.

As for the details, Jia Huan had no interest in investigating them, nor did he want to know.

This guy doesn't study properly even though he's at the clan school; he's bored out of his mind all day long.

Jia Huan couldn't stand it anymore and suggested that he could buy some storybooks and miscellaneous books to read, which would help him pass the time at the clan school.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually bought a lot of stories and miscellaneous books and took them to the clan school to pass the time.

Then, a group of students shamelessly borrowed the book and read it with great interest during their self-study time, without disturbing others.

However, it's unclear what kind of stories Jia Qiang buys, but they always manage to make Xiang Lian and Yu Ai giggle and blush.

Fortunately, Cong-ge'er was still in the stage of learning to read and could not understand the contents of the storybook at all, so he was not greatly disturbed.

However, this kid has no interest in studying.

Aside from completing the lessons assigned by his teacher each day, he spent most of his time either daydreaming or inquiring about various widely circulated stories of military generals.

Judging from this posture, he seems to be quite interested in martial arts?

Jia Huan seemed to be deep in thought, but unfortunately he had not yet figured out a breathing method that suited his taste. His progress in learning hidden weapons and running was only about 30% and 60% respectively, so he couldn't teach them for the time being.

Speaking of which, although both were illegitimate sons of the Rong family, Cong-ge'er's situation was much better.

Although he has an elder brother, the age gap between them is too large, so Lian Er doesn't care whether Cong Ge'er performs well or not!

Chapter 14: As Expected (Please continue reading)

"Uncle Zhao, just say what you have to say. It's awkward to be so hesitant!"

After school, Jia Huan and Cong Ge'er went out at the same time to get on the bus.

Zhao Guoji, who was in charge of driving the carriage, hesitated to speak, but Jia Huan couldn't stand it any longer and stopped to speak directly.

When Zhao Guoji left home in the morning, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jia Huan had been waiting for him to speak, but it was still the same after all this time?

"Huan, Huan-ge'er, there are suddenly a lot of rumors about you circulating in the manor, and they're not very nice!"

Zhao Guoji hesitated for a moment, but still stammered out the answer.

"I know exactly what the mansion is like!"

Jia Huan chuckled, thinking that his uncle was in some kind of trouble. If he was short of money, he wouldn't be able to help either.

As for the rumors about the Rong family, how could he possibly care?

"Tell me, Uncle Zhao, what kind of nasty rumors have you heard?"

"You're shameless! At such a young age, you're interested in cosmetics and even bought some from outside. I don't know what you're going to do with them?"

As he spoke, Zhao Guoji's expression was somewhat strange.

He would have burst out laughing if he hadn't been holding it in.

He naturally knew why Jia Huan was buying cosmetics outside.

The rumors circulating in the mansion are vicious; they're aiming to ruin Jia Huan's reputation. If things go wrong, it could lead to serious trouble.

How disgusting!

Jia Huan's smiling face froze, and he said in a flat tone, "Ignore it!"

As he spoke, he beckoned Cong-ge'er to get in the carriage and return home.

"Brother Huan, are you sure everything's okay?"

After getting into the car and settling in, Congge spoke in a low voice, his little face full of worry.

"It must be no problem!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I'm just buying rouge and face powder for my aunt outside. It's not like it's something to be ashamed of!"

"The rumors circulating in the manor?"

Nobody's a fool. Although Cong-ge'er is a nobody, he's not stupid either.

"It was expected, but I didn't expect it to be this disgusting!"

Waving his hand dismissively, Jia Huan said, "To resort to such disgusting tactics for a tiny bit of profit, that's all you've got!"

I'm not just being polite; that's really what I think.

I had previously told Aunt Zhao that I would help her buy rouge and face powder!

Not long ago, during his break after school, he made a special trip to the nearby market to buy Aunt Zhao a set of mid-to-high-end rouge and face powder.

Jia Huan didn't gain anything from it, but the rouge and face powder he bought were of good quality.

Zhao Guoji and Congge were both witnesses to this incident, so they naturally understood what had happened.

Unexpectedly, rumors detrimental to Jia Huan began to circulate within the household.

I'm not quite used to it yet!

They were always nobody in the mansion, on the very edge of the world, and had never experienced anything like this before.

Jia Huan remained perfectly calm!

If you infringe upon the interests of others, there will naturally be a reaction.

But I didn't expect the other party to react so strongly and use such despicable methods.

One can only sigh once again that the servants of the Rong family have been spoiled rotten.

Such disgusting and reputation-ruining rumors spread so easily. Did Jia Huan really think he didn't know who started them?

It's just that they take advantage of Grandmother Jia's leniency and think that Jia Huan is an unimportant illegitimate son, so they can't do anything about him.

A bunch of reckless fools!

This time, Jia Huan wasn't going to take it easy!

It's indeed difficult to target them while they're in the mansion, but they don't actually live there.

Damn, if he doesn't make the related family members feel like they're in heaven, people will think he really has no temper!

Upon returning to the Rong residence, they did not notice anything unusual.

Jia Huan naturally understood what was going on!

He had already been looked down upon and despised by the people in the backyard, so a little more wouldn't make a big deal.

Of course, with Aunt Zhao backing her up, ordinary old women wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

Jia Huan acted as if nothing had happened and continued to live his low-key life as usual.

Unexpectedly, she encountered her own sister, Tan Chun, in the main hall where the second wife lived.

That's really amazing!

Tan Chun lived in the Rongqing Hall of the old lady. Usually, only when the second wife, Madam Wang, returned to the main hall would she come over to pay her respects and show some affection.

Most of the time, he was with Yingchun and Xichun.

She would either chat and laugh with Grandmother Jia, or learn etiquette and manners, as well as the Four Books for Women, from the female tutors hired by the household.

Speaking of this, the Rong family's emphasis on the three springs was clearly a bit excessive.

To understand this, just think about Yuan Chun, who was still struggling in the palace.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, Yingchun waited until she was seventeen or eighteen years old, when the Rong family was no longer in its prime, before hastily marrying Sun Shaozu, the treacherous Zhongshan wolf.

Clearly, she was held back by the resentful Lord She.

Such is the nature of noble families; compared to striving and fighting in both literature and martial arts, the Rong family clearly prefers to take shortcuts.

In comparison, Jia Huan and Cong Ge'er, these two illegitimate sons, were practically like they'd been picked up from a garbage dump.

Let alone hiring a tutor to help with his studies, even his reading and writing skills were all thanks to the two gentlemen, Ning and Rong.

And Jia Lan, the eldest grandson of the second wife, is also someone who is not valued!

Leaving aside the idle talk, when Jia Huan saw Tan Chun, he chuckled and said, "Sister Tan Chun, why are you here instead of staying at Rongqing Hall?"

Tan Chun was not yet seven years old at this time, but she already possessed the quick-wittedness that would later appear in her life.

She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said directly, "Stop being sarcastic, I need to talk to you!"

Jia Huan feigned a flattered expression and asked curiously, "Sister Tan Chun, please don't make fun of me. How can I possibly help you?"
