The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

In fact, Xue Baochai's wavering mind was just one of the aftereffects of the incident between Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan.

It's hard to say whether Xue Baochai's business-like nature was a bit too strong or Jia Cong's low-key nature was the reason that the marriage arrangement caused such an unpleasant incident.

The behavior of the three sisters was the most obvious, with Xichun moving directly to the Ning residence.

At the same time, they also invited Yingchun and Tanchun to stay there for a while!

The old lady was so preoccupied with Jia Baoyu's affairs that she had no time for anything else, so fortunately she let him go.

The three sisters lived quite happily in the Ning Mansion. They not only played games that interested them and learned various calligraphy and painting skills that interested them, but they were even able to learn about housekeeping under the guidance of Qin Keqing.

If this were in the Rong family, the three Chun sisters wouldn't even dream of such a good thing!

Especially Yingchun, who was older than Jia Baoyu and had reached marriageable age early, had never been in contact with household management before, and this was her first time at the Ning Mansion.

Fortunately, she was calm and composed, and made rapid progress under Qin Keqing's guidance.

A skilled chess player is wise and resourceful!

Yingchun is particularly skilled at Go. Although she is usually quiet and known as a "blockhead," anyone who calls her stupid is truly a fool.

However, her gentle nature has been ingrained, and she is basically incapable of managing the household affairs on her own!

Tan Chun was the most proactive, quick-witted, and learned quickly.

His energetic and decisive work style does bear some resemblance to Feng Lazi.

Clearly, this person has privately imitated, or rather studied, the demeanor of the housekeeper Feng Lazi. They are definitely a dedicated person, but they haven't quite mastered it.

Feng Lazi's housekeeper skills are only so-so; she has some ability.

Compared to Qin Keqing, who was carefully nurtured, she was far inferior.

The servants of the Rong family were difficult to deal with, and so were the servants of the Ning family.

Although the Ning family's servants had been purged several times, the prevailing customs couldn't be completely changed overnight.

After being well-behaved for a while, he quickly reverted to his old ways; this was the typical state of the servants born into the Ning family.

Despite being such a difficult servant, Qin Keqing managed the Ning Mansion so well that it was far better than the chaotic state of the Rong Mansion.

Ironically, there was no news of Qin Keqing shouting or even arguing with her daughter-in-law.

In other words, Qin Keqing had already managed the Ning Mansion very well during the gentle and subtle process.

What could Wang Xifeng possibly use to compare with such management methods?

With his personal guidance, Sanchun has made considerable progress in housekeeping and management.

At least, he is no longer clueless about some things in the mansion, and it is not so easy for the maids and servants to fool him. This speed of progress is quite amazing.

"I didn't expect that all three aunts are exceptionally intelligent. No wonder Uncle Huan told me that if I have the time and leisure, I might as well teach them some housekeeping and management skills!"

In private, when discussing household affairs with Jia Qiang, Qin Keqing couldn't help but sigh repeatedly: "If he is carefully trained, he will soon become a very capable steward!"

Now it was Jia Baoyu's turn to feel uncomfortable!

His illness was faked all along.

However, he recovered after lying in bed for two days and was back to his energetic self in no time.

Perhaps due to Yuan Chun's influence, the legendary aura surrounding Jia Baoyu's magical jade was offset, and the old lady and Lady Wang were not significantly affected, remaining unchanged from before.

Even in private, Madam Wang thought that Jia Huan was exaggerating that day!

Otherwise, after all these years, we haven't seen the royal family or the government do anything to Jia Baoyu's magical jade.

The old lady didn't say anything about it, but she probably guessed something.

When Jia Baoyu was a child, he lost his magical jade and couldn't find it anywhere, which worried his family terribly.

A few days later, the magical jade reappeared inexplicably, and Jia Baoyu's illness was cured.

I didn't think much of it before, but now it's a bit scary.

Who knows if it was taken by the royal guards, or if the current emperor and the retired emperor both played with it?

Not noticing anything unusual, they simply thought that the so-called "born with jade in one's mouth" was just a trick by Madam Wang to consolidate her position, so they laughed it off and didn't pursue the matter, even returning the jade to its owner!

Such things are really hard to say, so the old lady naturally wouldn't tell Madam Wang these things. She just needed to keep it to herself to avoid making a fool of herself and getting embarrassed.

After Jia Baoyu recovered, he naturally wanted to play with his sisters, and then he was dumbfounded.

He felt very uncomfortable when the three sisters who used to be by his side suddenly disappeared.

To be honest, the three Chun sisters have had a tough time surviving!

Even at a young age, one must learn to make old ladies happy, otherwise their quality of life will be greatly affected.

That's why people say Tan Chun has the best quality of life.

She was eloquent and knew how to handle things, so naturally she won the old lady's favor.

Yingchun was no good. In the old lady's eyes, she was just a filler. Her living conditions were similar to those of a filler, about the same as or even worse than those of a second-class maid.

Xichun is doing alright, after all, she is the young lady of the Ning family next door, and she is too young, so the old lady doesn't expect her to be able to amuse anyone.

Moreover, when Jia Baoyu grows up a bit, the three sisters will be busy taking care of him, mainly providing companionship and care. Any dissatisfaction will become a problem.

And so it was; Jia Baoyu had already grown accustomed to the company of the three springs!

This time, after not seeing the Sanchun sisters for several days, I suddenly felt empty and a little lonely.

Upon inquiring, he learned that the three Chun sisters had all gone to the Ning residence to play, which displeased him.

Why didn't you take him with you when you went to play at the neighboring house?

Unfortunately, the gatekeepers of the Ning Mansion were treating Jia Baoyu like a thief, and wouldn't let him in easily.

The rumor that the Rong family's second young master was "fond of the south wind" had spread throughout the entire Ning family.

While enjoying the show, they naturally wouldn't allow Jia Baoyu to enter the Ning Mansion and cause trouble, thus turning the Ning Mansion into a laughing stock.

After being turned away several times, Jia Baoyu was in a bad mood. When he returned to the mansion, he planned to make a scene so that the old lady would summon the three sisters back.

How could Jia Baoyu's movements possibly escape the old lady's notice?

The old lady was also somewhat displeased and was thinking of calling the three sisters back to keep Jia Baoyu company.

As for Jia Baoyu's continued absence from the clan school after he recovered, the old lady didn't care at all, preferring to let him do as he pleased.

At this moment, while serving the old lady, Wang Xifeng casually mentioned that Qin Keqing was teaching the three sisters how to manage the household affairs at the Ning Mansion!

This made the old lady a little embarrassed.

After all, when the three sisters were in the mansion, she never thought of teaching them how to manage the household.

This was originally her and her two daughters-in-law's responsibility, but unfortunately, none of them paid attention to it.

Now that they have the opportunity to learn from Qin Keqing, they absolutely cannot let it stop, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if word got out. The old lady still cherishes her reputation.

Having no other choice, she had to bring her grandniece Shi Xiangyun over to play with Jia Baoyu.

The third of the two marquises in the Shi family had always been paying close attention to the movements of the Rong Mansion, and naturally knew about Jia Baoyu's 'great achievements'.

Although Shi Xiangyun wasn't raised in his own home, he was still reluctant to let her visit the Rong Mansion.

At this point, Jia Baoyu's reputation was really quite bad.

He not only disapproved of Shi Xiangyun visiting the Rong Mansion, but also forbade his own children from associating with Jia Baoyu.

Unfortunately, both Shi Lao Er and Shi Lao San are traditional elder types.

They keep everything to themselves and never communicate with their younger relatives.

Unaware of the situation, Shi Xiangyun threw a tantrum, leaving Shi Laosan with no choice but to ask Shi Laoer's wife to send the person to the Rong Mansion.

This time, Shi Laosan made a rare visit and chatted with the old lady for a while.

It's unclear what they talked about, but the aunt and niece didn't have a pleasant conversation at Rongqing Hall. When they left, Shi Laosan's face was ashen, clearly indicating that he was quite displeased.

it's actually really easy!

What Shi Laosan was talking about was the possible marriage between Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu!

After all, Jia Baoyu's reputation is what it is. If Shi Xiangyun stays in the Rong Mansion for too long, her reputation as a young lady will definitely be affected.

This is not the key point. If Shi Xiangyun is affected, all the girls in the Shi family in the capital will be affected.

If such a thing were to happen, Shi Laosan would be tempted to kill.

Unfortunately, how could the old lady possibly agree?

Although Shi Xiangyun was her grandniece, she said she loved her very much.

But Shi Xiangyun was, frankly speaking, an orphan girl, and it was impossible for her to have any influence over the interests of the Shi family.

How could the old lady possibly let Jia Baoyu marry Shi Xiangyun, unless Jia Baoyu was completely ruined?

Of course, the old lady also had the idea of ​​keeping Shi Xiangyun as a backup plan. In any case, it was her usual way of doing things to let her get closer to Jia Baoyu.

Poor Shi Xiangyun, she had no idea what was going on inside.

Thinking that his uncle was plotting something, he became increasingly inclined to side with the Rong family.
