I heard from Aunt Zhao that when serving Madam Wang meals, she had to be careful by her side the whole time, constantly serving food and soup.

After Madam Wang finished her meal, Aunt Zhao was completely unsteady on her feet.

To be honest, her treatment wasn't even as good as that of Lady Wang's trusted head maid.

Despite the hardship, Aunt Zhao dared not be careless in this matter.

In this respect, she was far superior to the other Aunt Zhou.

According to Aunt Zhao's smug statement, if one doesn't frequently hang around in front of the Second Madam and occasionally make a fool of oneself, the Madam won't hesitate to punish one if she gets the chance.

Jia Huan was somewhat astonished!

The women living in the inner quarters of wealthy and powerful families are clearly not to be trifled with.

Fortunately, he had managed to escape by then, and spent most of his time outside. Even when he came back, he mostly rested, and his interactions with Madam Wang were minimal.

Seeing that Aunt Zhao's expression didn't seem fake, he felt relieved.

Next, it's time to reap the rewards.

Jia Huan was unaware that Zhao Yiniang's outburst had become the talk of the town in Rongqing Hall.

As the core of power in the Rong Mansion, Rongqing Hall, where Grandmother Jia resided, was naturally well-informed.

The scene that Aunt Zhao caused in the second wife's house was definitely a rare and big news story.

Not only did the maids and servants gossip about it, but the news even reached the ears of Grandmother Jia, which is not surprising at all.

After understanding the whole story, Grandmother Jia didn't say much.

How could Grandmother Jia not know about the methods used to produce sons in the household?

However, her personality wasn't exactly strong or ruthless, and as she got older, she became accustomed to enjoying life and didn't want to cause any trouble.

Otherwise, how could the three sisters, along with the largest group of first-class maids in the Rong Mansion, not know that they were secretly asking people to go out of the mansion to purchase rouge and face powder?

She just felt it wasn't a big deal, and since the three sisters and the head maid didn't make a fuss, she naturally pretended it hadn't happened.

This time, Aunt Zhao caused a scene in the second household, and Grandmother Jia had no intention of commenting.

He simply instructed his head maid, Yuanyang, to privately remind her not to let the maids of Rongqing Hall gossip too much.

As for Aunt Zhao, who caused the commotion, and Jia Huan, who was involved, they didn't take them seriously at all.

When Madam Wang came to serve him, she didn't mention it at all.

Madam Xing, however, made a careless remark, which was immediately silenced by a glare from Grandmother Jia.

As long as it doesn't directly involve Jia Baoyu (the phoenix egg), Grandmother Jia won't bother with it too much.

As for Jia Huan, how could she possibly care about him?

When Madam Wang left Rongqing Hall, she said casually, "You should discipline Aunt Zhao properly. It's as if the household has mistreated her!"

Jia Huan only heard these things from Xiao Jixiang a few days later.

If it were the original owner, a child under six years old, she would probably have lost her composure.

At the moment, Jia Huan naturally didn't care at all.

The distance between him and Grandmother Jia had grown considerably.

People don't take him seriously, so why should he keep it to himself?

As expected, the business of helping to purchase rouge and face powder took off.

He quickly bought rouge and face powder for his sister Tan Chun, and the quality was naturally much better than what she had asked someone to buy before.

With no significant difference in quantity, Tan Chun was naturally quite satisfied.

Not only was Tan Chun satisfied, but her head maid was also very satisfied.

Then, the head maidservants of Yingchun and Xichun came to their door on their own initiative.

Jia Huan also managed to purchase satisfactory rouge and face powder for them, in accordance with quality and quantity requirements.

After that came the head maids of the inner courtyard.

Despite the respectable appearance of some top-ranking maids in the mansion, they are actually marginalized figures at home.

It seems that their existence is solely to serve as a money bag for their parents and brothers.

Compared to the old women who earned money by running errands, the family members exploited the first-class maids even more severely, to an exaggerated degree.

Therefore, even the top maids in the back courtyard had to pay for help from outsiders if they wanted to use the rouge and powder they desired.

With the example set by Sanchun and her maids, these top maids in the inner courtyard all entrusted the purchasing tasks to Jia Huan.

These are all high-quality clients, so Jia Huan would naturally not ruin his reputation.

The rouge and face powder that they helped purchase were of excellent quality and quantity.

Similarly, Jia Huan controlled the backyard of the Rong Mansion, which had a considerable number of high-quality clients, allowing him to earn an extra two taels of silver every month.

Moreover, through this opportunity, Jia Huan established a certain relationship with the head maids in the back courtyard.

If any of the old women in the mansion were to speak ill of Jia Huan again, these head maids might not necessarily step in to stop them, but they also wouldn't spread the rumors. That would be enough.

What Jia Huan didn't expect was that Jia Baoyu actually sent his servant Mingyan to inquire where Jia Huan bought the rouge and face powder.

This guy spends all his time with his girlfriends, so he's very sensitive to the fact that Sanchun has changed her makeup and cosmetics, which is why he wanted to find out.

Jia Huan had no intention of hiding it, nor could he possibly hide it anyway.

Every time I buy rouge and face powder, it comes in an exquisite box with the name of the time-honored brand, which anyone who can read and isn't blind can clearly see.

Unfortunately, Mingyan has a terrible temper.

He put on an arrogant and rude attitude in front of Jia Huan, speaking to him without any politeness, as if Jia Huan was nothing at all.

Damn it, they look down on people.

Jia Huan naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with him and directly said that he would take him to the store next time he went to buy rouge and face powder.

After all, Mingyan spent all her time with Baoyu, basically staying around the Rong Mansion, and her family lived on Ningrong Street, so she knew very little about the outside world.

Jia Huan mentioned the name of the old brand that sold rouge and face powder, but Mingyan couldn't find the place for a while.

Then, the kid was lured out and put in a sack!

It wasn't Jia Huan who made the move, but a group of underlings from the clan school.

Chapter 18 Jia Baoyu Blocks Someone (Please Read Further)

Regardless of the world, the desire for strength is an inherent trait of intelligent life.

The elementary school students in the clan school were no exception.

Although Jia Huan was young, his abilities and martial prowess earned him both respect and fear from the elementary school students in the clan school.

There were naturally quite a few willing to join in and become his underlings.

Jia Huan didn't refuse; now this will come in handy.

The most enthusiastic one was Jin Rong.

Mingyan was given a severe beating, leaving her with a bruised and swollen face, looking utterly miserable. She slunk back to the Rong Mansion, naturally causing another uproar.

Jia Baoyu was quite annoyed by the phoenix egg, feeling that he had lost face.

In particular, she had previously boasted to her sisters that she would definitely find out all the most famous cosmetic shops in the capital.

Next time I go out, I'll buy the best for my sisters.

Who knew that their efforts would be met with such a slap in the face before they even got off to a successful start.

The three sisters comforted the phoenix egg, telling it not to be angry, while exchanging worried glances.

The idea of ​​a phoenix egg can only be described as utterly ridiculous!

The three sisters had long felt that this was inappropriate, but they simply didn't want to voice their objections.

Jia Huan did not hide his purpose; he wanted to earn a little bit of money by acting as a go-between for buying cosmetics.

Jia Baoyu's idea of ​​the phoenix egg directly cut off Jia Huan's source of wealth.

It's just that Jia Huan didn't know this, otherwise Mingyan would probably have been injured even more severely!

They were not only worried about Jia Huan's situation, but also concerned about the future supply of cosmetics.

What kind of personality does Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, have? How come the three sisters of Chun don't know?

He only has three days of enthusiasm for everything. Once the initial passion fades, he won't care about the difficulties of the Sanchun sisters.

Having finally secured a stable supply of cosmetics, if it were left in the hands of Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, it would likely be cut off very soon.

Huan-ge is more reliable; at least he won't have any ulterior motives.

If I were to ask the old women in the household to help with the purchasing again, I would feel like I'd lost out.

The key point is that the quality of the rouge and face powder that the older women buy through personal shoppers is indeed disappointing; without comparison, there is no harm done.

Mingyan is quite the actor!

By putting on a good show in front of Jia Baoyu, he not only received twenty taels of silver for medical expenses and comfort, but also secured a promise from the phoenix egg to get revenge for him.
