The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

"You're practicing blindly!"

Jia Huan smiled and said, "If Brother Bao is willing to put in the hard work, it's very easy for him to get started!"

This wasn't meant to praise Jia Baoyu. As a celestial being descended to earth, it would be absurd if he didn't even have this much talent.

"Brother Huan, with your martial arts skills, you could probably get second or third place in the imperial martial arts examination!"

Feng Ziying said enviously, "If I had your skills, I would probably be one of the best imperial guards by now!"

The reason they don't mention the top scholar is that he is the exclusive property of each military family, and they are unlikely to give him up.

Unless Jia Huan receives strong support from the Ning and Rong mansions, which seems unlikely.

"Brother Feng is joking. If I were to participate in the martial arts examination, I'm afraid even registering would be difficult."

Jia Huan laughed and didn't continue the topic, instead chatting with Feng Ziying and his group about all sorts of things.

By the time he left, he was already able to exchange a few words with Liu Xianglian.

They're all young people, how could they have such deep cunning and scheming?

Once they start talking about topics they're interested in, it's easy for them to hit it off.

Fortunately, apart from Jia Baoyu, most of the people present had some connection with the martial arts world, so they could naturally chat about things related to the martial arts world.

Liu Xianglian is indeed a man of rich experience; at such a young age, he has already traveled across most of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Of course, I mainly wander around some famous and bustling towns, and rarely go to those too desolate or resource-poor areas.

It's clear that this guy is quite concerned about his status as a nobleman's son.

It's a pity that her parents left too early, and her relationship with her master's family, the Duke of Liguo's mansion, was just so-so.

Otherwise, with his martial arts skills and appearance, it would only be a matter of time before he joined the Dragon Guard and made a name for himself.

It just goes to show that every family has its own problems!

As the performance ended, Jia Huan called to Jia Baoyu, "Brother Bao, let's go back to the manor together!"

"No, I want to hang out with Brother Feng and the others outside for a while longer!"

Jia Baoyu refused decisively, waving his hand and saying, "Go back by yourself!"

This guy!

Jia Huan was too lazy to say anything more. He had already given all the necessary reminders, and there was nothing he could do if the boy wouldn't listen.

Having successfully resolved the trouble caused by Liu Xianglian, Jia Huan was in a good mood.

This idiot made a move in a restaurant, wielding a sword. Does he really think he's some legendary swordsman who hasn't been seen in ten years?

The reason they didn't use more powerful hidden weapons was that they didn't want to attract attention or even make people wary!

He didn't return to the Rong Mansion immediately, but went to the martial arts school to tell his underlings about how he had defeated Liu Xianglian, and told them not to easily get into conflicts with this guy in the future.

This guy is clearly impulsive; if you anger him, he might really go for the kill.

Jia Cong was very curious about the specific details of the sparring match, while Jia Huan said irritably, "It was pretty much the same as when I sparred with you!"

Jia Cong asked dejectedly, "Huan-ge'er, are you using a nine-section whip?"

"Of course!"

"Isn't this bullying? How could Liu Xianglian possibly withstand it?"

"That's his problem. I can't exactly fight this guy with a sword with my bare hands, nor can I be so restricted!"

"I'll definitely have to have a good spar with this guy when I get the chance!"

Jia Huan chuckled, and without saying anything about waiting a few years, he turned and went to the clinic to learn how to treat patients from the two renowned doctors.

At this point, his medical skills were on par with the two renowned doctors they had invited.

In some respects, we have even surpassed them.

These two doctors were now focusing most of their attention on training apprentices at the clinic.

After Jia Huan promised their descendants some opportunities, they worked very hard and diligently.

At this point, Jia Huan's actions were entirely charitable.

Fortunately, the amount of money wasn't a problem, so it didn't matter whether it was worth it or not.

When he returned to the mansion that day, he heard the news that he had been waiting for.

The Second Master Zheng said happily, "The current emperor and the retired emperor are considerate of the difficulties faced by the concubines in the palace and have allowed some of them to leave the palace to visit their families. This is a rare and wonderful thing!"

"So, it means that Sister Yuanchun can go back to the manor for a visit?"

Jia Huan feigned surprise, then frowned and said, "That's not right. Even if eldest sister can return to the manor to visit her family, she wouldn't be able to rest there, would she?"

"Yes, that's why the manor is going to build a separate residence for family visits!"

The Second Master Zheng was in a very good mood and said with a smile, "This is exactly what should be done!"

"Master, our mansion was originally built by imperial decree. We can't possibly set aside part of it to build a separate residence for visiting relatives, can we?"

Jia Huan raised a question, which was also his biggest doubt about the story of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Both the Ning and Rong mansions were built by imperial decree. Once their titles ended, without special favors, the Jia family would have to move out, making internal renovations impossible.

In fact, the heads of the Ning and Rong mansions were well aware of this. At least many of the special courtyards that were still in use when the Duke was still alive had been sealed off.

But the rules can be broken at the Provincial Family Villa!

Do they really think the royal family is so easy to talk to? They think that the Ning and Rong mansions, which are imperial residences, can do whatever they want? Why don't they just fly to the moon?

"This one……"

The Second Master was momentarily confused, but upon careful consideration, he realized that it made perfect sense.

"Sir, we need to discuss this matter with the old lady!"

Jia Huan advised, "As for what to do next, it's not too late to discuss it after we ask the old lady!"

There was something he didn't say: Didn't he feel awkward having a separate residence for visiting relatives installed in his own mansion?

This thing needs to be guarded by people from the palace; Jia Huan knew this inside story.

To be honest, even the Empress couldn't allow her family members to live in the detached residence she had built for visiting relatives without the Emperor's permission.

I just don't understand, what makes Yuan Chun so powerful that she can do it with just a word?

It can only be said that the Rong family became completely arrogant after Yuan Chun was made a concubine, and lost the necessary vigilance and respect.

Of course, the situation is better now; Yuan Chun has only been granted the title of Consort, which is not as prestigious as that of a concubine.

Although the household was happy, they weren't overly excited, so they didn't know what the old lady was thinking.

After offering his suggestions, Jia Huan patted his behind and left.

He wouldn't go to Rongqing Hall with Master Zheng. The old lady already disliked him, so why bother making a fool of himself? He'd already said everything he needed to say.

Unexpectedly, the news that the concubines could visit their families had already spread throughout the entire mansion.

Back at their residence, Aunt Zhao muttered something to herself for a while.

They said the lady was extremely pleased, and the whole mansion was filled with joy, as if Yuan Chun's return to the mansion was just around the corner.

Even Aunt Zhao mentioned building a separate residence for visiting relatives, and both the old lady and the madam were very enthusiastic about it.

Jia Huan found it amusing and asked casually, "Auntie, what does this have to do with us?"

Aunt Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then pondered for a while and said dejectedly, "Indeed, it has nothing to do with us!"

But he quickly perked up and laughed, "You're still Consort Yuan's half-brother, aren't you? You can still benefit from her influence and take advantage of her, don't you think?"

Seeing Aunt Zhao's smug look, as if she had gained a great advantage, Jia Huan found it amusing.

He casually added, "Auntie, do you think Madam will let us benefit from this?"

"This one……"

Aunt Zhao was taken aback again, and asked in return, "Even if Madam doesn't want us to benefit from this, there's nothing she can do, isn't there?"

"How not?"

Jia Huan grinned and said, "If you want to benefit from Consort Yuan's visit to her family, you'll have to pay with silver!"

"Otherwise, when Consort Yuan visits her family, we can send the child to an estate outside the city and forbid him from returning. Do you think Madam would do that, Aunt?"

Aunt Zhao was shocked upon hearing this and exclaimed in panic, "No way, Madam wouldn't be so stingy, would she?"

Just as the mother and son were talking, a small figure quickly left from outside the door.

"Oh, is that really what Huan-ge'er and Aunt Zhao said?"

In the main house and side room of the second branch, Madam Wang spoke calmly, her tone so composed that it was hard to fathom her meaning.

Standing below is Xiao Jixiang, Aunt Zhao's personal maid.

Little Jixiang was very nervous at this moment, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "That's exactly what they say!"

"You did very well!"
