The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

"I reckon his martial arts skills are indeed quite impressive!"

Lin Ruhai chuckled and said, "Anyone with real skills is full of confidence!"

The family's collection of books records the conduct and experiences of certain powerful figures in the military and noble groups from the founding of the nation until his father's death.

Jia Huan gave him the impression that he was not a pure martial artist, but his behavior was more like that of a martial artist.

I just hope this kid can clear his head and not do anything irreparable wrong. Otherwise, no matter how much he approves of this marriage, he won't put his daughter in danger.

Jia Huan naturally didn't know Lin Ruhai's specific thoughts, but he could guess the general idea.

This sudden marriage proposal was only made because I felt the timing was right.

Of course, his agreement with Lin Ruhai was only verbal at this point, since he was too young.

Whether it will work out or not depends on my future performance.

Jia Huan couldn't help but chuckle. According to his rough calculations, Cong-ge'er would be much more successful than him in the next two years. He just wasn't sure if Lin Ruhai would have other ideas.

As for introducing Cong-ge'er to Lin Ruhai as a son-in-law, that's impossible.

It wasn't that he coveted Lin Daiyu's beauty; as I said before, the Rong family and Master She would definitely not agree to it.

Especially now that Cong-ge'er is about to soar to great heights, it's even less likely that they'll let Cong-ge'er go to someone else.

Personality factors also need to be considered.

Lin Daiyu was knowledgeable and highly cultured; otherwise, she could not have achieved such a refined and untainted demeanor.

Cong-ge'er, on the other hand, has a somewhat taciturn personality and focuses all his energy on practicing martial arts to improve himself.

Furthermore, spending too much time with the martial arts practitioners in the martial arts school would naturally give him a rough and uncouth air about him, which would certainly not appeal to Lin Daiyu.

The biggest problem was that Lin Daiyu's health was somewhat weak.

Jia Huan was somewhat confident that, with his help, Lin Daiyu's health would gradually improve.

But Cong-ge'er didn't have that ability, and his physical condition was already geared towards a fierce warrior on the battlefield, so Lin Daiyu simply couldn't withstand the strain.

Another point is that Lin Ruhai might not be interested in Cong-ge'er. Cong-ge'er had been too quiet and unassuming in front of him before.

That's why I have to say, Wang Xifeng's execution ability is truly remarkable.

A few days later, the Rong Mansion invited Jia Qiang and Qin Keqing from the Ning Mansion, as well as two elders of the Dai generation, to witness the formal separation of Jia Cong by the eldest master.

Similar to Jia Huan, perhaps not wanting to lose face, Master She did not manipulate the distribution of family property or assets.

The family received a thousand taels of silver as a share of the inheritance, two shops in the commoner's district, and a small courtyard with two courtyards.

Ahem, that two-courtyard house is not far from the one-courtyard house that was assigned to Jia Huan, less than two hundred meters away, so you can easily stroll over there.

Fortunately, Master Zheng was not here, otherwise his expression would definitely have been unpleasant.

As for Madam Wang, she didn't care about any of that. In any case, Jia Huan wasn't qualified to take money from her pocket, even though the money came from the public funds.

Jia Cong calmly received the divided family property and silver, and witnessed the procedures for being removed from the household register.

If he were still that insignificant nobody with dark eyebrows and black lips, he would probably be heartbroken for a while.

But now he's seen the world, and his martial arts skills are quite impressive. He simply can't stand the awkwardness of staying cooped up in the general's mansion any longer.

At fifteen years old, he was already nearly 1.8 meters tall, with broad bones and bulging muscles; by any measure, he was a formidable man.

Unfortunately, neither Master She nor the old lady paid any attention to this.

Only two elders of the generation felt something was amiss. What was wrong with the Rong family?

In a short period of time, two illegitimate sons were expelled from the household and removed from the family register, and both of them were not even fully adults.

Jia Daixiu originally wanted to offer some advice, but Jia Dairu stopped him.

"The old feudal lord hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

When he spoke of the old lady, his tone was rather unfriendly, clearly indicating that there must have been some past grievances.

Upon hearing this, Jia Daixiu decided not to meddle, as it was an internal matter of the Rong Mansion.

Only Jia Dairu knew the true extent of the idiocy of the Rong family's decision to send two underage illegitimate sons out of the mansion in quick succession.

Jia Huan is definitely a formidable individual!

How could they so quietly sideline him, turning him into a dispensable figure in the clan school, leaving him helpless? Is this the kind of thing an ordinary junior could do?

As for Jia Cong, according to his grandson Jia Rui, he was also a formidable figure not to be underestimated; one could tell just by looking at his stature!

The chapter number was wrong before, I'll ask the editor to correct it tomorrow. Still asking for monthly votes!

Chapter 232 Don't Sit Crooked (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Despite being an old scholar, Jia Dairu did not discriminate against military men at all.

It could even be said that he highly approves of martial artists.

Who called his father the first Duke of Rongguo, and his elder brother the second Duke of Rongguo?

Throughout his childhood, adolescence, youth, and adulthood, he had close contact with martial arts.

The surrounding environment and the people they came into contact with were either soldiers or bodyguards.

Therefore, they still attach great importance to younger generations like Jia Cong who have achieved success in martial arts.

He kept it in mind ever since his grandson mentioned it!

But to everyone's surprise, Master She actually separated Jia Cong directly.

He sneered inwardly, having no optimism whatsoever about the future of the Rong family.

So what if there's a Consort Yuan in the palace?

Someone like Jia Baoyu, dreaming of supporting the Rong family's reputation?

He had taught Jia Baoyu before, and with his grandson's descriptions, how could he not understand that this man had no interest in studying and making progress, and why the old lady valued him so much?

Yes, Jia Baoyu and his elder brother Jia Daishan do resemble each other somewhat, but so what?

Don't think he didn't know that ever since his elder brother moved to Pear Fragrance Courtyard to recuperate, his relationship with the old lady had become quite cold, and there was no affection left to speak of.

The reason why Jia Baoyu is valued so much is probably mostly to show his two foolish nephews, the First Master She and the Second Master Zheng, so that they can also learn how to be blindly filial and obedient.

After the family division ceremony, Jia Dairu didn't linger and left the Rong Mansion directly after receiving the red envelope.

As for Jia Cong, he moved directly into the two-courtyard house that Master She had given him.

Of course, he usually ate and lived with Jia Huan. That three-courtyard house had a lot of exercise equipment and was much more spacious.

But Jia Cong was getting old, so it was normal for him to have his own social circle. He needed a separate space, and that two-courtyard house became a gathering place.

Just then, Yuan Chun in the palace finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl!

It was not yet the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Ning and Rong mansions were bustling with activity for quite some time.

As members of a branch of the family who had separated from the main branch, Jia Huan and Jia Cong both attended the wedding banquet held at the Rong Mansion.

It was clear that the old lady's happiness was genuine. As for Madam Wang's smile, it was stiff, and her feigned happiness seemed somewhat forced.

Clearly, Lady Wang was quite dissatisfied that Yuan Chun had given birth to a princess.

What a crazy idea! Who the hell is he trying to impress with that sullen face?

If the current emperor finds out, does he know how much trouble it will bring to Yuan Chun in the palace?

Even those in official positions like Master Zheng and Jia Lian shouldn't expect to have a good outcome.

Even the princess isn't satisfied, do you want to fly to the heavens?

As a responsible member of a collateral branch of the clan, Jia Huan naturally could not turn a blind eye to such a matter.

That day, he invited Master She and Jia Lian to the main study, and in front of Master Zheng, he expressed what he had seen and his concerns.

At that time, the atmosphere in the study was eerily quiet!

"Sir, I really didn't mean to upset you on this joyous occasion!"

Jia Huan said helplessly, "It's true, this was supposed to be a joyous occasion, and I don't want any mishaps to happen!"

"Second brother, you need to keep a closer eye on your wife. I don't know what she's thinking all day long."

Lord She's face was grim. He said with dissatisfaction, "She managed to turn such a joyous occasion into such a dangerous situation. I'm truly amazed by her. Does she have to go to the Heavenly Prison to reunite with her family before she's satisfied?"

Jia Lian said nothing, but his equally unpleasant expression said it all.

In addition, Madam Wang has been targeting Wang Xifeng recently, causing her a lot of trouble and leaving her quite listless. He is very worried about the child in Wang Xifeng's womb.

The Second Master Zheng's face was solemn as he nodded and said in a deep voice, "I will give you an explanation for this matter!"

He looked at Jia Huan and said with satisfaction, "You reminded me very timely this time. If there are any similar things in the future, don't keep them to yourself. Just say what you have to say!"

Not only Master Zheng, but also Master She and Jia Lian all showed the same expression.

Sometimes you have to admit that Jia Huan's perception of danger is much sharper than theirs.

Therefore, Madam Wang claimed to be ill and did not attend the subsequent wedding banquet.

It is said that the second master of the family found Madam Wang and berated her. If the old lady hadn't arrived in time, she would have almost hit her. The second family was in complete chaos.

But in this matter, even the old lady dared not side with Madam Wang.
