In other words, Jia Huan was unaware of the two big shots' true intentions; otherwise, he would have definitely been spitting at them.
Damn it, you guys don't even look like money, so how come you always have such 'confident' ideas?
"My sister-in-law agreed, which is a great thing for Lan-ge'er and for the clan school!"
Jia Huan smiled slightly and revealed a little of the secret, which indeed surprised the old lady, making her eyes widen in astonishment.
"How could I not inform you, sir, of such a major event concerning the clan school and even the future prospects of the Jia family's sons in the capital, so that you could make preparations as soon as possible?"
He looked aggrieved and said helplessly, "After all, the clan school is only so big. If the Li family's scholar really comes, we'll have to rent a courtyard to live in, right?"
The old lady waved her hand instinctively!
Just kidding, if that were the case, wouldn't the Rong family become a laughing stock?
If you didn't know better, you'd think the Rong Mansion didn't even have rooms to accommodate distinguished guests for long stays!
Now, not only the old lady, but even Madam Wang's anger had almost dissipated.
"Then why did your master hit Baoyu?"
Madam Wang still voiced her doubts, but her tone was no longer so aggressive, and her eyes returned to normal.
If she really tries to cause trouble, what will the servants in the household say about her in the future?
Even though Madam Wang has been pretending to be a saint for so long, she still has some sense of shame.
Since Li Wan wasn't present, Jia Huan didn't need to be so polite and said directly, "Brother Bao, you barged in so rashly and then accused your sister-in-law of not inviting you. It's quite embarrassing!"
Even with the domineering nature of the old lady and Madam Wang, it's hard to say that this is just children being silly.
"As you know, Madam, the master has great respect for top scholars!"
"If Brother Bao's outburst ruins Sister-in-law's plans to invite the scholar from her family, how will Master react?"
Following Jia Huan's train of thought, the old lady suddenly realized the truth.
Given the second brother's personality, the fact that he didn't directly take action is already considered very restrained.
Even Madam Wang looked a little embarrassed.
She did indeed look down on scholars, but that didn't mean she was unaware of Master Zheng's preferences.
In her heart, she even felt a little dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu.
Damn it, Baoyu's behavior was practically aimed at Master Zheng's lungs, no wonder he was so angry!
The expressions of the two Rong family patriarchs became increasingly gentle, and the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall also returned to normal.
By this time, the two bigwigs who had originally intended to confront Jia Huan had completely given up on the idea of causing trouble for him, so as not to upset Master Zheng.
So, only Jia Baoyu is considered a treasure, while Jia Huan, who is concerned about the clan school, is considered worthless?
At this moment, Jia Huan's keen senses detected the presence of Master Zheng Er right at the doorway.
A thought suddenly struck him, and he decided to teach Jia Baoyu a lesson for being so arrogant and domineering!
The reason he didn't mention anything that might affect Xichun's reputation was that he knew the two powerful figures in the Rong family wouldn't care at all; saying it would be as good as not saying anything at all.
He hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Grandma, have Sister Tanchun and the others been deliberately avoiding Brother Bao lately?"
"I guess they had a minor disagreement. What do you mean by that?"
The old lady's eyes narrowed immediately, and she looked at Jia Huan and asked directly, "Could it be that there's something else going on inside? Tell me!"
Lady Wang was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Jia Huan was saying this.
"My grandson knows the reason, but I'm afraid things won't end well!"
Jia Huan hesitated and said, "Speaking of this, it has caused quite a stir at the clan school. Bao Erge is being ostracized by all the classmates right now!"
"Hmm, it's that serious?"
The old woman was startled, her eyes sharpened, and she said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
As for Madam Wang, and Master Zheng, who was standing motionless at the entrance of Rongqing Hall, they all pricked up their ears to listen.
"Is such that!"
Jia Huan lowered his head and said, "Qin Zhong, the younger brother of Rong Shao's wife in the Ning Mansion next door, is handsome and has a good temperament. After Bao Erge returned to the clan school, he was amazed by his good looks and stayed by Qin Zhong's side all day long, refusing to move an inch!"

As Jia Huan recounted his story, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall gradually became subtle.
The old lady and Mrs. Wang's expressions gradually changed from calm to surprise and shock.
As for the Second Master Zheng at the door, his breathing became heavy, which showed how unsettled he was.
Jia Huan, intending to teach Jia Baoyu a harsh lesson, naturally wouldn't let the matter rest.
Furthermore, if only the preceding events were described, given the protective nature of the Rong family's elders, their first reaction would likely be to pin the blame on Qin Zhong.
that's the truth!
When I heard that Jia Baoyu was clinging to Qin Zhong every day, I subconsciously felt that Qin Zhong was not being honest.
As for Qin Zhong passing the preliminary examination, he didn't care at all.
But what Jia Huan said next made them feel awkward.
"Qin Zhong was extremely annoyed, which not only affected his studies but also caused him to be subtly ostracized by his classmates, causing him considerable distress!"
"Later, some classmates suggested that he go to the small martial arts school during his free time in the afternoon, and Bao Erge did not go with him again!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady and Madam Wang's expressions turned quite grim.
Jia Huan's words were like knives stabbing into their lungs: "I guess the news from the clan school reached Sister Tanchun and the others, which is why they're deliberately avoiding Brother Bao!"
"How did news from the clan school get to the manor?"
The old lady's eyes were sharp as she looked at Jia Huan with displeasure and asked, "Did you or Cong-ge leak it?"
"Heaven and earth bear witness, old lady, my grandson and Cong-ge have almost no friends in the mansion!"
Jia Huan protested, "Besides, Xue Pan is also studying at the clan school..."
"That's enough, don't say any more!"
Madam Wang's face darkened, and she abruptly interrupted Jia Huan, saying in a deep voice, "Then do you think that someone deliberately orchestrated this matter concerning Baoyu?"
Even she herself felt disgusted when she said those words.
At this moment, she was furious. If Jia Baoyu hadn't been her own son, she probably would have slapped him to death. It was such a disgrace.
With such things spreading, it's no wonder the young ladies in the manor all avoid him.
Lady Wang decided that for a long time to come, she would not call Baoyu to come closer to her.
The old lady wasn't that extreme, but she was quite disappointed in Jia Baoyu.
It's no longer possible for Jia Baoyu to cling to her and act coquettishly like before.
"This, I don't know either!"
Jia Huan said with a bitter face, "Even street thugs don't usually talk about this kind of thing easily. I guess Brother Bao must have read some books he shouldn't have and been influenced by them?"
"After all, Brother Bao is known for disliking reading the Four Books and Five Classics. He scoffs at any classics or articles related to the imperial examinations, but he is quite interested in other miscellaneous books!"
"Given Bao Erge's status, the teachers at the clan school can't easily discipline him. They just hope that he won't bother the other students while he's at school and that they won't be too concerned about what he does in other situations!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady and Madam Wang's faces turned ashen.
So, Jia Baoyu did this himself!
Jia Huan continued, "Grandma, Madam, the students at the clan school are quite dissatisfied with Bao Erge's behavior. If this continues, he'll definitely be isolated!"
The old lady and Mrs. Wang were speechless for a moment, and even felt their faces burning red.
We can't assume that all the other students at the clan school are problematic just because Jia Baoyu did something wrong, can we?
"You wretched child, you wretched child! You're really infuriating!"
At that moment, the angry roar of the Second Master Zheng came from the doorway, even with a hint of heartbreaking sobs.
However, the Second Master Zheng did not storm into Rongqing Hall. Instead, a series of heavy footsteps sounded, gradually fading away, suggesting that the Second Master Zheng was quite angry.
"Second son!" "Master!"
The old lady and Madam Wang's expressions changed drastically; they hadn't expected that Master Zheng Er would be right at the door.
This has really blown things up.
"Grandma, and Madam, don't worry. The most important thing right now is to solve Bao Erge's problem!"
At this opportune moment, Jia Huan interjected, "Once Brother Bao returns to normal, Master's anger will subside!"
"Yes, yes, Huan-ge is right!"
The old lady nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "It's just something like this..."
I really can't bring myself to say it; it feels shameful to even talk about it.
Madam Wang softened her tone and said with a forced smile, "If you have any ideas, just tell me!"
"Move out of the backyard first, and don't have any pretty maids with you. As for the handsome young servants, don't keep any of them. Arrange for all of them to be rough servants that Brother Bao doesn't like!"
