Chapter 16: The Fierce Aunt Zhao (Please Read Further)
All beginnings are hard!
The idea of exercising the body directly through breathing techniques is practically a pipe dream.
If such a method truly existed, then everyone becoming a dragon would not just be an ideal.
The world of Dream of the Red Chamber is not a world of immortals and heroes, so there is no spiritual energy of heaven and earth for people to absorb.
Being able to use cheat codes to mark 'breathing and exhalation' as an option is already quite good.
If he guessed correctly, the data for the 'breathing' item on the virtual control panel would undergo an astonishing change if it reached 100%.
It is estimated that each breath can vibrate the internal organs and the blood and skin.
The body's oscillation frequency reaches a harmonious state with the surrounding magnetic field, which is the so-called unity of man and nature.
At that time, whether one cultivates martial arts or immortality, the process will be twice as effective and smooth sailing.
Of course, this is just an ideal situation.
Jia Huan estimates that it is unlikely that any of the learning projects on the panel will reach 100% completion.
Especially in the area of 'breathing and exhalation', even the slightest improvement is a huge success.
Therefore, at this point, his "breathing and exhalation" data reached 0.01%, which he was quite satisfied with.
It's still too early to have mastered the breathing rhythm, and I haven't yet made it an instinctive habit.
Once the new breathing rhythm became instinctive, he was constantly in a state of training, and even if the effect was only 0.01%, it would still have an effect.
He was really looking forward to the changes in his body!
As for the rumors circulating in the mansion, they never paid any attention to them.
After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed and went to the clan school the next day.
Meanwhile, at the Rong Mansion, Aunt Zhao seized the opportunity to cause quite a stir.
As for Jia Huan, Aunt Zhao, as his mother, had nothing to say.
She kept Jia Huan's terrible idea in her heart.
I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly!
When she came to the main house the next day to serve Madam Wang her meal, she not only saw Master Zheng, but also the biggest suspect who was secretly spreading rumors.
After the second wife and the second master Zheng finished their meal, she immediately flew into a rage and took action.
He grabbed the old woman and started pulling and tugging at her; they immediately began to wrestle.
Cough cough, even though Aunt Zhao is used to a life of luxury, she can't beat that old woman.
If the old woman hadn't been careful, Aunt Zhao would probably have fallen to the ground in just a couple of rounds, and her beautiful face might even have been scratched.
Even so, Aunt Zhao acted like a madwoman, wildly struggling and thrashing about, which greatly shocked everyone present.
Fortunately, the Second Master Zheng intervened in time, and then asked what was going on with a displeased expression.
Aunt Zhao, channeling her inner movie queen, tearfully recounted her grievances.
It is clear that the old woman is heartless and has lost her conscience. She actually harbors a grudge because Huan-ge'er took away her help to buy rouge and face powder, and she spreads rumors and causes trouble everywhere in the mansion.
Huan Ge'er's reputation has been severely ruined. How can he face people in the future?
Then, without any attempt to hide it from the group of people, he brazenly recounted some of the disgusting rumors circulating in the mansion.
The Second Master Zheng was so furious that he almost lost his composure.
Jia Huan was, after all, his son. Even if he didn't value him, he wasn't someone the servants in the mansion could mess with.
The rumors that Aunt Zhao relayed were utterly disgusting.
If this continues to spread, Jia Huan's reputation could be completely ruined.
The key point is that the fault doesn't lie with Jia Huan!
When a child buys cosmetics for his mother, others might just say it's nonsense. Although Master Zheng Er dislikes it, he won't punish Jia Huan.
Therefore, he naturally harbored deep hatred for the old woman who secretly spread rumors.
Aunt Zhao, not wanting things to get any bigger, embellished some of Jia Huan's advice and recounted it again.
She put it simply: although the rumors were slandering Jia Huan, everyone in the mansion knew the truth.
But if the rumors get out, things will be different.
If there were any malicious people, they might try to pin the blame on Baoyu.
Why did Baoyu, at such a young age, have the nickname "Rouge Prince"?
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's expression changed, as she had been observing from the sidelines.
While sternly rebuking Aunt Zhao for talking nonsense, he couldn't help but have his own thoughts.
Believe it or not, it's possible!
I immediately became a little anxious!
This involved Jia Baoyu, which was something she absolutely could not accept.
Both Master Zheng and Madam Wang lost their tempers, and the matter was quickly suppressed.
Then, the gossipy old woman and her whole family were sent directly to a village in the suburbs.
In the backyard, they were strictly forbidden from mentioning rouge and face powder again.
Aunt Zhao didn't get away with it either; she was confined to her small courtyard for a month.
That day, when Jia Huan returned home from school, he was summoned to the main hall of the second house by Zhou Rui's wife and received a stern reprimand from his stepmother, Madam Wang.
Knowing what was going on, Jia Huan remained timid and dared not utter a sound, behaving quite obediently.
Madam Wang didn't intend to cause any trouble, but she expressed serious dissatisfaction with his purchase of rouge and face powder from outside.
Since it concerned his future source of wealth, Jia Huan naturally couldn't remain silent. Taking advantage of Lady Wang's moment of respite, he quietly offered his explanation.
It wasn't that he truly wanted to do this; if he offended the servants in the household, his and Aunt Zhao's lives wouldn't be easy either.
However, some of the servants in the household have gone too far.
The cosmetics and face powder purchased by the government, in addition to those supplied to the two wives and Wang Xifeng, were not only of extremely high quality but also in ample quantity.
The rouge and face powder supplied to the other young ladies and maids were of extremely poor quality.
Someone like Aunt Zhao wouldn't dare use her at all.
Such matters can be easily clarified by simply asking around within the household.
This forced Aunt Zhao to spend extra money to hire someone to go out of the mansion to make purchases.
The problem is that the old woman who helps with the purchasing will deduct at least half of the cost, so the quality of the rouge and face powder that is finally obtained is generally not very good.
Jia Huan said he couldn't stand it. He could let it go about other people's business, but he could easily help Aunt Zhao buy her rouge and face powder after school.
He just didn't expect that the old woman who had helped him before would be unwilling to give up, which led to the rumors. He never expected such a thing to happen.
After hearing his explanation, Madam Wang remained silent for a long time.
After a moment of hesitation, he didn't say anything more and waved Jia Huan away.
Jia Huan smiled slightly; the matter was now considered closed.
Of course, once he resumes normal business operations, there will still be a lot of trouble to come.
That old woman was nothing more than an insignificant nobody.
The real big tiger was the head steward in charge of purchasing in the manor; once you clashed with such a guy, it was no joke.
Of course, Jia Huan didn't take it too seriously; as long as he could successfully earn his first pot of gold, that was enough.

"Auntie, I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious!"
Upon seeing Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Although there is little affection involved, it is never right to scheme against someone.
"fine!"
Aunt Zhao looked excited and said proudly, "I really got my revenge today and had a good time. I couldn't be happier!"
"Besides, it's just being confined to the house, I'd be happy to do that!"
At this point, he chuckled and said, "Wouldn't it be so much more relaxing and carefree not to have to serve your wife every day?"
That's true; Lady Wang is much more troublesome than Grandmother Jia.
As for Grandmother Jia, when it came to meals, she only asked Lady Wang and Lady Xing to make a show of serving her food by picking up a piece of food with their chopsticks.
After that, Grandmother Jia would not actually have her two daughters-in-law, who were around forty years old, standing beside her and affecting her meal; instead, they would each go back to their own rooms to eat.
Madam Wang wouldn't be so generous!
