Before the three sisters could inform him, Jia Baoyu, who was extremely displeased, stopped Jia Huan, who had just returned home from school.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jia Huan was stopped near the second gate.
The other three servants around Jia Baoyu, including his personal attendant Li Gui, all came over.
The front yard servants and patrolling guards who passed by glanced at the scene with a few laughs and then left.
After all, it's a phoenix egg from the manor, so we should still give it some face.
"Huan-ge'er, you've gone too far!"
Upon entering, Jia Baoyu immediately took the initiative, his gaze towards Jia Huan filled with hostility.
Don't be fooled by his gentle and considerate demeanor towards his sisters in the Dream of the Red Chamber, which makes him seem like a soft-hearted man with no ruthlessness.
Are you kidding me?
When this guy socializes outside, he's definitely a typical playboy.
Do you really think that the capital city is a scene of peace and prosperity, without any trace of misery?
He must have seen it, but what did Jia Baoyu do?
Furthermore, in the Dream of the Red Chamber stories, the maids who were teased and hurt by him were completely forgotten not long afterward.
If this happened to someone else, calling them 'heartless and ungrateful' wouldn't be an exaggeration at all!
It's worth noting that Jia Baoyu didn't have a good impression of Jia Huan.
When Jia Huan saw that things were not going well, he was not nervous.
The training over these past few days has been effective; if a real fight breaks out, I'll just run away.
Kids fight without thinking, and he doesn't want to suffer.
"Brother Bao, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"Stop pretending, didn't you beat up Mingyan?"
"Brother Bao, Mingyan was clearly beaten by the students of the clan school, how could it be that I did it?"
"He didn't cause any trouble at the clan school, so why would the students there beat him up?"
Jia Baoyu was truly furious, feeling that Jia Huan was just going through the motions.
It's funny, he's clearly a student at the clan school, but he's never been there yet, and he still has the nerve to say that his servant didn't cause trouble at the clan school.
"Brother Bao, is Mingyan asking me where the rouge and face powder come from?"
Jia Huan said with a grin: "I'm ready to take action at any time and run away."
"So what?"
"When the students at the clan school heard this, they thought Mingyan was going to cut off their source of income, which is why they overreacted!"
"What kind of money-making scheme? I don't understand."
Jia Baoyu was somewhat bewildered, while Li Gui, the oldest attendant beside him, looked thoughtful.
"Didn't Sister Tan Chun and the others ask me to help them buy rouge and face powder from outside?"
Jia Huan chuckled and said, "How could I possibly have time to go to the market so often?"
"So, I had no choice but to pay my classmates to run errands for me!"
"What does that have to do with them selling counterfeit cigarettes?"
“I paid them every time they ran an errand!”
Jia Huan asked directly, "If Mingyan takes away the job of reselling rouge and face powder, will you share the profits with them?"
This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; he did indeed pay a classmate to run errands for him.
Each time it cost between twenty and thirty copper coins, which was no small sum for the elementary school students in the school.
That's enough for them to buy a lot of cheap snacks when they're out.
As a time traveler, how could I not know that only a partnership based on shared interests is the most reliable one?
In the future, there will be certain matters that will require the help of the younger members of the clan school.
Jia Baoyu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The next moment, he said, somewhat embarrassed and angry, "All you ever think about is money, money, money! Rouge and face powder are such beautiful things, but you've made them sound so vulgar!"
Jia Huan said coolly, "Rouge and face powder also cost money; you can't just give them away for free, can you?"
"you……"
"What are you two wretched children doing?"
Just as Jia Baoyu was about to lose his temper and beat Jia Huan without a care, the angry roar of Master Zheng Er suddenly came.
Jia Baoyu shuddered suddenly, his face turning deathly pale with fright.
The three servants and attendants beside him were also pale-faced and had a strong urge to turn around and run away.
"What are you all standing there for? Come to the study and let's talk!"
The Second Master Zheng looked displeased, called out to them, and then walked towards the main study without looking back.
Jia Huan chuckled inwardly. Did he think ambushing people was fun?
Didn't you know that Master Zheng's study was not far away?
If Jia Baoyu doesn't get a beating this time, I'll change my name from now on!
Also, they're not trying to bully others just because they have more people, right? We'll show Jia Baoyu what it means to have many followers...
Chapter 19 Jia Baoyu Gets a Beating (Please Read Further)
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
In the study of Master Zheng Er, Mengpo Studio, the sounds of beating wooden boards rose and fell.
Jia Baoyu, along with his three servants and his attendant Li Gui, were all forced to sit on long benches and beaten with wooden boards.
The sound of the paddle hitting the floor was loud, and the screams of the five boys were equally loud.
The Second Master Zheng stood at the door of the study, his face full of displeasure, looking at the boys screaming in pain, showing no sign of sympathy.
Jia Huan stood to the side with his head down, looking honest and obedient.
As for the scholars and gentlemen, they all found excuses to leave at this time.
This is a big deal, and it's likely to cause quite a stir. They don't want to get involved and invite trouble upon themselves.
"Hit me, hit me hard!"
The Second Master Zheng was in a fit of anger and showed no mercy whatsoever.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Jia Baoyu was full of disappointment and frustration.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Just then, hurried footsteps approached, along with Grandmother Jia's displeased voice: "Second son, what are you doing?"
When Grandmother Jia entered with a group of maids and servants, she saw Jia Baoyu screaming in pain after being beaten and immediately exclaimed, "Baoyu, Baoyu, what happened to you?"
Lady Wang rushed out and threw herself on top of Jia Baoyu, crying, "Master, how could you be so heartless? Are you trying to beat Baoyu to death?"
"If anything happens to Baoyu, I won't live either!"
After speaking, he glanced at Jia Huan discreetly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
The servants who were beating him quickly stopped, clearly indicating that Jia Baoyu and his servants' ordeal had come to an end.
"Mother, if we don't teach this little brat a lesson, what will become of him in the future?"
With bloodshot eyes, the Second Master Zheng said in a hoarse voice, "If we don't teach them a lesson soon, it will be too late!"
Grandmother Jia was startled and said disapprovingly, "Second son, what are you saying? Baoyu is a good child!"
"Good boy?"
Master Zheng said with dissatisfaction, "Would a good child bring his servants and attendants to harass Huan-ge'er just because he is a servant boy?"
"If I hadn't discovered it early, would it have been better to beat Huan-ge to death to be considered bad?"
Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang were stunned and speechless for a moment.
All eyes turned to Baoyu, who was being held down on the long bench, and everyone looked on incredulously.
"No, it's impossible!"
Madam Wang hurriedly shook her head: "Baoyu would not do such a thing!"
"Then look around, which of the servants accompanying Baoyu is less than ten years old?"
"Look at Li Gui, he's already fifteen!"
Master Zheng said angrily, "Look at Huan-ge'er again, how old is he? Can he withstand being ganged up on by them?"
Then, he asked Jia Huan to step forward and make an appearance.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's face turned extremely ugly.
