The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Although the position of Salt Commissioner of Yangzhou was dangerous, it was a rare and highly lucrative post!

As long as Lin Ruhai remains in office, his influence and power should not be underestimated.

Simply by mobilizing the forces of those born in the same year and from the same hometown, they could form a considerable force.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, if he had been able to retire unscathed from his position as Salt Inspector, the Rong family's prestige would not have fallen so quickly.

Even if their home is eventually raided, Lin Ruhai will help cover it up.

At present, Jia Huan's appearance has helped Lin Ruhai to successfully extricate himself from his position as the Salt Commissioner of Yangzhou.

Although various factors prevent him from being given important responsibilities now, Lin Ruhai's status is undeniable, and his strength is still not to be underestimated, thus allowing him to acquire a considerable amount of luck.

Then there's Xue Baochai, one of the main characters in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, who is basically unlikely to marry Jia Baoyu.

Thanks to her elder brother Xue Pan's efforts, her marriage to Jia Cong did not encounter any unexpected changes; she simply went from being Jia Cong's only principal wife to one of his secondary wives.

Even so, her fate changed, and Jia Huan naturally gained a considerable amount of good fortune.

Another person whose fate was completely altered because of Jia Huan was Qin Keqing.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, she would have already died by now, but she is still alive and well.

As long as Master Jing doesn't interfere forcefully, she is undoubtedly the mistress of the Ning family mansion.

Judging from the current situation, he can easily take charge of the Ning Mansion for at least another twenty years!

Even if Jia Rong, who had already lost his mind, had a son born out of wedlock, whether he could successfully establish himself in the Ning Mansion after reaching adulthood depended entirely on Qin Keqing's mood—that's how domineering she was.

Adding to the changes in the fates of Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang, Jia Huan's fortune was also quite considerable.

The fate of the second master of the Rong family has also changed considerably.

At least, he had now secured his position as Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, unlike in the original Dream of the Red Chamber where he was suddenly promoted from Assistant Minister of Works to Grain Commissioner of a province, only to end up making a mess of things and ending in a dismal failure.

While he might not be an expert on the intricacies of officialdom, he was at least not so incompetent as to be easily deceived by his retainers and servants.

The one who changed the most was probably Yuan Chun.

This woman became the emperor's concubine ahead of schedule and even gave birth to a daughter.

Putting everything else aside, as long as one doesn't get involved in dangerous things, there shouldn't be any problem living out one's days in the palace.

As for Jia Huan and his brother Jia Cong, their fates have been completely altered.

All in all, the luck they gained was considerable!

To be honest, the fates of Jia Baoyu (who was born in the Year of the Phoenix), the old lady, and Lady Wang didn't change much, so Jia Huan didn't pay too much attention to it.

Let's not even talk about the old lady and Lady Wang; Jia Baoyu's personality speaks for itself.

Although the experiences at this point are quite different from those in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, the hardships and setbacks encountered are no less significant.

Of course, with Yuan Chun's help to cover his losses, he would at least be a wealthy idler, and certainly wouldn't end up like in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, becoming a beggar who couldn't bear the suffering and became a monk.

Given this kid's personality, if he had a beautiful woman by his side and lived a carefree life, how could he possibly think of becoming a monk?

In this respect, Jia Huan did change the trajectory of his fate and reaped a wave of good fortune.

Oh, I almost forgot that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were coming.

The trajectories of these two people's fates have definitely changed; it remains to be seen how they will ultimately end up.

Jia Lian's smooth entry into officialdom and Wang Xifeng's increasingly prosperous life in the Rong Mansion were undoubtedly due in no small part to Jia Huan's help; they certainly gained a lot of good fortune from them.

Aside from these, his greatest gain was the support of all the maids in the Rong Mansion, including many characters from the secondary register of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling and the supplementary register.

Let's start with Qingwen, the most famous supporting character in Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction. This girl's life trajectory was significantly altered due to the influence of Jia Huan.

Jia Huan had only recently transmigrated and been reborn, and wasn't he partnering with Wang Xifeng to sell embroidery in order to make money?

The main source of the embroidery was the maids and old women of the Rong Mansion.

As the most skilled craftswoman in the Rong family's inner quarters, Qingwen accumulated a considerable fortune over the years by selling embroidery, making her a true young heiress.

She has the ability to earn money herself, so her already high spirits naturally rise even higher.

She never considered becoming Jia Baoyu's concubine, so she naturally began to distance herself from him.

She knew Jia Baoyu's true nature all too well, and she could live perfectly well without him right now, so why should she fight with Xiren over him?

Do you really think she was unaware that, as Jia Baoyu's chief maid, Qingwen, being of suitable age, was almost destined to become a concubine?

There was no other way in the original Dream of the Red Chamber!

If she wanted to live comfortably in the inner quarters, she had no choice but to depend on Jia Baoyu for survival. This was the main reason why she and Xiren fought endlessly for the position of chief maid in Jia Baoyu's room.

But now that she has the means to make a living on her own, why would she care about these things?

Although she was still in Jia Baoyu's room, she had long since retreated and become a marginal character.

Even now, if Jia Baoyu hadn't noticed her striking beauty, she probably wouldn't even have earned the position of a head maid; she's currently the lowest-ranking head maid in Jia Baoyu's household.

Jia Baoyu did try to show her affection, but she remained unmoved.

Later, Jia Baoyu moved to the front courtyard, so Qingwen naturally wouldn't eagerly go to serve him.

As time went on, Jia Baoyu, being a sentimental man, long forgot about her.

Qingwen was also ambitious. In addition, the downfall of the Lai family, the original owners, affected her to some extent, so she hoped even more that she could leave the mansion and become a commoner.

Of course, she wasn't stupid. Given the current state of the Rong family, as long as she herself didn't want to, she could grow up peacefully to be seventeen or eighteen. At that time, it wouldn't be difficult to find a way to buy her indenture.

It can be said that Qingwen's fate has been completely changed.

.

It's a pity that the other head maids in Jia Baoyu's room haven't changed much.

They all wanted to become Jia Baoyu's concubines or maids, and their fates were probably similar to those in the original story, but their endings might be better.

At least while Jia Huan was around, the Rong family didn't have to worry about their property being confiscated!

Another maid whose fate was changed was Jin Xun → Jin Chuan, the personal maid of Lady Wang.

Jia Baoyu moved to the front courtyard early on, which reduced his interactions with Lady Wang.

Even if Jin Chuan had her own thoughts, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly under Madam Wang's watchful eye.

Every time Jia Baoyu went there, Lady Wang would greet him warmly, so how could she give Jin Xun any opportunity to take advantage of him?

Those who benefited the most from Jia Huan's actions were the lowest-ranking maids and old women in the mansion.

Their monthly allowances were low, and without embroidery work to supplement their income, they would likely have little savings. In an environment like the Rong Mansion, it was extremely difficult to survive without some money in one's pocket.

It was also because the Rong Mansion maids provided a large number of embroidered products that not only did Wang Xifeng's embroidery shop have a fairly stable income, but the Rong Mansion maids also developed their embroidery skills one by one.

Even those working in embroidery shops outside the factory can become formal embroiderers.

It can be said that Jia Huan and Wang Xifeng's joint venture in the embroidery business was truly a meritorious act.

If we're talking about those most affected, whose fates were most altered, it would probably be Xiangling, whom Xue Pan bought.

In the original novel, Xiangling is an absolute tragic figure!

Xiangling's current situation is naturally much better than that of the same period in the original Dream of the Red Chamber.

She began studying under Xue Baochai and quickly demonstrated a considerable level of talent.

Xue Baochai was naturally overjoyed and became much closer to Xiangling.

Unfortunately, as the Xue family's business grew larger and larger, Xue Baochai had an overwhelming number of accounts to handle and various behind-the-scenes affairs to deal with.

The mother, Aunt Xue, was completely unreliable; her financial management skills were even worse than Madam Wang's.

Even though her uncle helped share some of the burden, there were still some accounts and matters that she could only handle with peace of mind if she did them herself, despite Xue Pan's repeated reminders that it wasn't necessary.

The head maid Ying'er was of no help at all; this guy was a typical academic failure.

She studied with Xue Baochai since childhood, but now she's only slightly better than the illiterate Aunt Xue.

Xue Baochai was extremely worried about asking anyone else!

Seeing that Xiangling had a remarkable talent for learning, although it was not quite as good as her genius, it was still quite an extraordinary talent.

Xue Baochai spent a lot of time teaching Xiangling, gradually getting her hands on some less important accounting and analysis tasks, which she completed quite well.

From then on, Xue Baochai simply regarded him as an important assistant, keeping herself busy and fulfilled every day.

Even Aunt Xue's attitude towards Xiangling changed significantly, and she felt that Xiangling was indeed a promising talent.

As for Xue Pan, he still has feelings for Xiang Ling, but he hasn't put them into action yet.

After all, Xiangling could help her sister, and Xue Pan would never do anything reckless at this time; at the very least, he wanted to lighten his sister's burden.

As a result, Xiangling's status is no longer the same.

After years of research and contemplation, Jia Huan discovered that this world was, after all, the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Those that are connected to the original work will experience significant fluctuations in fortune once their fate changes.

We've forgotten about Xue Pan; that guy provided a lot of good fortune.

The Rong family, including everyone in the household, had only about a thousand people.
