The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Inside the luxurious carriage on the other side, Jia Cong grinned and asked, "How was it, Huan-ge'er? How was the show the brothers put on? Are you satisfied?"

"If I hadn't stopped them, all the brothers in the martial arts school would have wanted to come over!"

"good!"

Jia Huan was both amused and exasperated, feeling a sense of déjà vu, like a powerful figure being released from prison in a movie or TV series from his past life.

Regardless, this was Jia Cong's heartfelt gesture, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

The carriage arrived at the three-courtyard house that Jia Huan secretly owned. This place was located at the junction of the outer and inner city, which was considered a gathering area for middle-class wealthy merchants in the capital.

The roads are wide and the public security is good. The surrounding area is lined with shops, and the living environment is very good.

The procession was impressive and attracted the curious glances of many passersby and neighbors, but no one went forward to disturb them.

It wasn't until Jia Huan and his group entered the long-closed three-courtyard house that they began to discuss it.

"Who is that, making such a grand entrance?"

"I don't know, but I recognized a few of those gangsters!"

"Yes, yes, I also feel that some of the men look familiar. I think they used to hang out at the docks outside the city!"

"Now that you mention it, I do remember, aren't they all from the Ningrong Street branch?"

"So you mean the person sitting in the carriage is a big shot from the Ningrong Street gang?"

"I heard that the Ningrong Street branch was established by a young master of the Rong family. Could he be the one in the carriage?"

"How could that be? Why would they stay here instead of at the perfectly good Rongguo Duke's Mansion?"

"Regardless of the circumstances, we must be more careful around this family from now on!"

"That's right, but I don't know what his temperament is like, or whether he's easy to get along with?"

"..."

Even in a place like the capital, the flow of people, especially wealthy merchants, is very slow.

Some wealthy businessmen live here for their entire lives, so they naturally want to find out the character of their neighbors. Who knows what the future holds?

Over here, Jia Huan and Jia Cong had already gotten off the carriage and were strolling around the house.

"Brother Huan, your house is really nice, especially since you live here all by yourself!"

Jia Cong followed along for a stroll and said enviously, "How carefree you are! You don't have to worry about those inexplicable things and can focus all your attention on one thing!"

"Then you can move here after you leave the manor. There are plenty of rooms!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "It's a good time to calm down and rest, so I can shine in the martial arts examination next year!"

"Forget it, I'll just stay near the martial arts gym; it'll be more comfortable there!"

Jia Cong hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I can understand the brothers' training at the martial arts school, and the atmosphere is quite good. I can find a brother to spar with and test the training results anytime!"

"I don't understand your cultivation method of throwing stones while running, and it doesn't create any atmosphere at all!"

"But the speed of your progress is astonishing. Wouldn't it be pointless to live with you?"

"what ever!"

Jia Huan waved his hand and laughed, "Although I've already left the manor, my daily routine won't change much. It's just that I might not be as discreet in dealing with many things anymore!"

"Keep it low-key my ass!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Cong immediately became furious and waved his hand angrily, saying, "Anyway, you're a member of a collateral branch of the family now, so why do you need to worry about Brother Bao? Just do whatever you want!"

"Huan-ge'er, you'd better act tough enough, or the manor will really think you're not doing well outside!"

As he spoke, his face was full of disdain and sneer.

"Haha, of course!"

He left the Rong Mansion in the morning, but Jia Qiang came running to the door at noon.

Putting everything else aside, the housewarming gift alone was worth several hundred taels of silver, definitely a substantial gift.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Ziying and the others arrived and presented their congratulatory gifts.

Jia Huan's new home was bustling with activity. Servants and maids were busy coming and going, serving tea and water, and bringing snacks and fruits. The atmosphere was very lively.

As time went by, students from the clan school who achieved academic success would come to celebrate with them.

Five or six students, two scholars, three martial arts scholars, and classmates like Jin Rong, Xiang Lian, and Yu Ai who were on good terms with him also came. It was quite a large gathering.

Xue Pan also arrived, accompanied by several heroes of the martial arts world.

To everyone's surprise, all the scholars and gentlemen who had free time from the Rong family's main study came over.

Around noon, just as Jia Huan was calling for people to go to the restaurant where they had made a reservation to pick up the food, Jia Lian and Qiu Liang also arrived.

"I'm late, I'm late! Please don't blame me, Huan-ge!"

Qiu Liang offered his congratulations with clasped hands, all the while grinning, showing none of the imposing manner of a prefect of the capital.

"How could that be? Brother Qiu's presence would be an honor for me!"

Jia Huan laughed heartily and directly invited the two powerful officials of the fifth rank to take their seats, his attitude quite casual.

But this scene was quite unusual in the eyes of Feng Ziying and the other young men.

They also overheard from Jia Baoyu that Jia Huan was leaving the mansion to live separately today, officially becoming one of the ordinary collateral relatives of the Jia family in the capital.

Judging from Jia Baoyu's nonchalant and indifferent attitude, it seemed as if such a thing was perfectly normal.

Normal ass!

They were all legitimate sons of the family, so they naturally understood the awkward situation of Jia Huan, a son born out of wedlock.

It's clear that Jia Huan was being targeted, or even abandoned by the Rong Mansion.

Once they realized what was happening, you can imagine the shock they felt!

Damn, Jia Huan seems like a very promising person, so why would the Rong family give him up?

People like Feng Ziying even considered recruiting Jia Huan to be a retainer of the family.

To everyone's surprise, when they rushed over with gifts, Jia Huan's new home was filled with jubilation.

Not to mention the group of skilled martial artists in the manor and the well-known thugs on the street, who were just underlings of the Ningrong Street gang, this is just too much fun!

Contrary to expectations, there was no sense of disappointment at losing the Rong family as a powerful backer!

Next are the scholars and students of the Jia family school. With the Jia family in the capital as their backing, they can basically be guaranteed to be officials in the future. At least Feng Ziying and a few other playboys are not in a position to be underestimated.

Just as it was time to eat, Jia Lian and Qiu Liang both arrived!

What does this show? At least not all the core members of the Rong Mansion felt that Jia Huan could be easily discarded.

The key point is that Qiu Liang was able to arrive in time despite his busy schedule, which clearly shows that he and Jia Huan have a very close relationship.

Anyone with a sound mind would know that Jia Huan's departure from the mansion to live separately this time was not affected by anything at all!

It can only be said that Feng Ziying and the other spoiled young masters were not familiar with the internal workings of the Rong family.

Little did they know that although Qiu Liang was an important subordinate of the Prefect of the Capital, if he wanted to advance further, in addition to the help of his family, he also needed Jia Huan's strong support.

In terms of public security, the Ningrong Street branch provided him with tremendous assistance.

This is also the main reason why the Ningrong Street branch and the West City Military Command have always had a pretty good relationship, and it's not just because they are both shareholders of the Sihai Casino.

Since the Ningrong Street church was established, no children have gone missing during the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival biannual events in Xicheng District.

This is a tremendous achievement, especially when compared to the other command posts.

Qiu Liang got promoted because of this, didn't he?

The successor is also said to be about to be promoted. What official wouldn't like such a partner?

Not to mention, the existence of the Ningrong Street branch has greatly improved the security environment in Xicheng!

Although Jia Huan doesn't have any obsessive-compulsive disorder or similar problems, he doesn't like any kind of chaos happening on his territory. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to him?

If the boss has this idea, the subordinates will naturally carry it out. It's that simple!

It can be said that, apart from the area around the Imperial Palace, the area where Ningrong Street is located has the best public security environment in the entire capital, without exception.

To put it bluntly, the West City Command Center would love for the Ningrong Street branch to bring the entire West City under their control. That way, their burden would be at least halved, and they would get a lot of credit.

At noon, many guests ate and drank in Jia Huan's three-courtyard house, creating a lively atmosphere.

Jia Lian, holding his wine cup, said enviously, "Huan-ge'er is amazing! Even my second brother doesn't have a house like this!"

Jia Huan rolled his eyes and said with a grin, "I can get you a set, but do you dare to take it?"

"What's there to be afraid of..."

Jia Lian wanted to answer firmly, but when he met Jia Huan's ambiguous smile, he immediately deflated and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it, I still want to be an honest official, I dare not accept your bribe!"

"How about this, didn't the manor allocate me a courtyard house?"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "The location is good, not too far from the manor. If anything happens, we can get back quickly. I'll let Second Brother Lian use it for his own purposes!"
