The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

These two powerful figures from the Rong family did not act like villains; they instructed Li Wan to treat them well.

Li Wan agreed, but naturally, she couldn't arrange for them to be placed in the Grand View Garden as in the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber.

The Rong family had many empty courtyards, so they found a small courtyard that wasn't far away and let them stay there temporarily.

When I have more time and free time in the future, I will help them find a place to stay outside.

With the examples of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai before her, Li Wan naturally wouldn't let her widowed aunt and two cousins ​​experience the snobbishness of the Rong family.

Li Wan's situation in the Rong Mansion at this time was much better than it was at the same point in the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber.

The main reason, of course, is that Lange'er performed quite well at the clan school.

Of course, it was also Jia Baoyu's own actions that led Master Zheng to despair of him.

Since they no longer had any hope for Jia Baoyu, they naturally turned their attention to Lan Ge'er.

Upon discovering that Lan Ge'er was a promising student, Master Zheng was naturally delighted, and Li Wan's situation improved considerably as a result.

Putting aside everything else, there will be no additional expenses for daily living.

The servants in the manor were all very clever and naturally knew how to please and curry favor with the Second Master Zheng.

After all, the Second Master Zheng is the head of the family. If he is unhappy and wants a child born in a certain family to get out, even the old lady might not step in to help.

A servant born into a family is a servant born into a family. Even the Lai family has fallen from grace. Which other servant born into a family can compare to them?

This is why Li Wan was able to easily arrange things for her three relatives, something that would have been impossible in the past.

It must be said that Li Wan's two cousins ​​are both very beautiful and have a scholarly air about them, which makes them quite eye-catching.

Sure enough, when Jia Baoyu saw her while paying his respects to the old lady, he was immediately "astonished by her beauty".

There's no doubt that Jia Baoyu is just that kind of person!

Unlike the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, his reputation was now completely ruined.

Not only did the three sisters dislike him, but they would also frequently run to the Ning family next door to get rid of him.

People like Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu avoided him as if he were a plague god.

There's nothing we can do. Jia Baoyu's reputation is just too bad. If we don't want it to affect our own reputation, we should just stay away from him. What else can we do?

There was only one idiot, Shi Xiangyun, who remained consistently kind to Jia Baoyu.

Unfortunately, neither of the two marquises nor their wives in the Shi family liked Jia Baoyu very much.

Given the estrangement between them and the old lady, it was already quite good if Shi Xiangyun could stay at the Rong Mansion for two months each year; the rest of the time she spent at the Shi family's place.

Shi Xiangyun is not young anymore!

The two wives of the Marquis of Shi were quite attentive to this, and would always take Shi Xiangyun with them when they went out to visit guests.

This is also why Shi Xiangyun was quite famous among the ladies of the powerful and wealthy in the capital, and knew many other ladies and wives.

At this time, thanks to the efforts of the two wives of the Marquis of Shi, Shi Xiangyun, just like in the original story, has successfully become engaged to Wei Ruolan and will soon be married.

Speaking of which, although this person lost his parents, his marriage is quite good.

As long as the Wei family doesn't suffer the same fate of losing important members in the subsequent battles as depicted in the original novel, even if Wei Ruolan dies alongside them, Shi Xiangyun's future life will definitely be good.

Now that the engagement was finalized, Shi Xiangyun was naturally confined to her home by the two ladies of the Shi family, and was not allowed to come to the Rong Mansion again.

Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun wasn't love-struck and knew what was important; she hadn't come for almost a year.

Sure enough, Jia Baoyu felt quite lonely.

Although he lived in the outer courtyard, he couldn't just enter the inner courtyard whenever he wanted. He spent all day playing with the maids, and there were times when he got tired of it.

Not to mention, although the maids in the Rong Mansion were beautiful, none of them had much education.

Although Jia Baoyu disliked the Four Books and Five Classics, he thoroughly enjoyed reading other miscellaneous books.

His innate talent is undeniable; his level of poetry and prose is quite remarkable, and he possesses a certain level of cultural literacy.

Sometimes you really have to marvel at how different the quality of someone who has read books can be compared to someone who hasn't.

Jia Baoyu wasn't unfamiliar with the world. No matter how pretty the maids in the Rong Mansion were, could they possibly compare to the top courtesans and courtesans of brothels in terms of charm?

Although he never stayed out overnight, he did go to brothels with a few friends.

Given Jia Baoyu's appearance and temperament, coupled with his above-average talent, he was quite attractive to courtesans.

It's no exaggeration; Jia Huan had even heard his younger brother mention it occasionally.

If he wanted, there would be far too many courtesans offering themselves to him; it's no exaggeration to say that.

Having experienced the ways of the brothel and the pleasures of the household, Jia Baoyu's allure for the maids in the mansion was naturally greatly diminished.

Otherwise, do you really think he would honestly go to the clan school? Isn't he just making a fuss out of boredom?

The clan school will no longer allow him to take leave at will; this is no joke.

Then, Jia Baoyu met Li Wan's two cousins ​​at the old lady's Rongqing Hall.

Both his appearance and demeanor fell within Jia Baoyu's aesthetic sphere, naturally making him 'astoundingly beautiful'. His desire to get closer to him was perhaps his true nature.

That's why they say Jia Baoyu can be a bit eccentric at times.

The next day, the day Jia Huan and Xue Pan went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion to discuss matters, Jia Baoyu skipped his afternoon classes and went straight back to the Rong Mansion.

The explanation given to the public was, of course, a headache and fever.

Regardless of whether outsiders believe it or not, he himself believes it.

There's no other reason; the old lady and Madam Wang can corroborate his story, it's that simple.

Then, without giving any prior notice or reminding Li Wan of her actions, he went directly to visit Li Wan's widowed aunt and the small courtyard where her two cousins ​​were temporarily staying.

This greatly frightened Li Wan's widowed aunt and her two cousins.

They weren't like the Xue family; they didn't care too much about things like the strict separation of men and women.

The Li family was a scholarly family in the south, with many rules and regulations, especially regarding men and women.

Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins ​​had become accustomed to that kind of rules and atmosphere.

Otherwise, why in the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, in many activities in the Grand View Garden, did Li Wan's two cousins ​​either not participate or stay with Li Wan, as if they were invisible?

Finally, when he sensed the aloofness and decline of the Rong family mansion, he left ahead of time.

They were intentionally avoiding risks, but they were also constrained by rules. The Grand View Garden became so chaotic in the later stages that it did not conform to many etiquette regulations.

Of course, without the protection of the Rong family, Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins ​​are probably not in a good situation.

Right now, Jia Baoyu's reckless actions have terrified Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins.

Jia Baoyu ultimately failed to enter the gate!

Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins ​​would never allow him to enter.

When Li Wan arrived after hearing the news, her widowed aunt and two cousins ​​breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took their leave, as if they couldn't wait to run away.

Li Wan quickly calmed down her three relatives. After learning what had happened, she was so angry that tears streamed down her face, but she didn't dare to directly cause trouble for Jia Baoyu.

Even Jia Baoyu's biological father, Master Zheng, couldn't do anything about him in the Rong Mansion, let alone his widowed sister-in-law. If a conflict were to break out, her and her son's lives would become difficult.

He immediately went to Wang Xifeng, hoping she could help him find a safe courtyard for his frightened aunt and two cousins ​​to stay in.

Although she managed to appease the three relatives, she knew that they could no longer stay at the Rong Mansion.

After learning the reason, Wang Xifeng was somewhat skeptical, but since Li Wan had come to her for a rare request, she naturally couldn't refuse.

"This is difficult for me to handle. You'd better have Lan-ge go find Huan-ge!"

Wang Xifeng didn't want to cause any trouble with Madam Wang and the old lady because of Jia Baoyu's mess.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed out, "This guy has immense influence outside. Making arrangements for your three relatives will be a piece of cake, and he can even ensure their safety!"

Li Wan thanked Wang Xifeng for her guidance, knowing that Wang Xifeng was in a very difficult position to get involved in such matters.

Fortunately, a solution was found, otherwise she would have been suffocated by the suffocation.

Ignoring everything else, Li Wan left the Rong Mansion with her maid. During the midday break at the clan school, she called out Lan Ge'er and gave him a series of instructions.

When Jia Huan returned to the martial arts school, Lan Ge'er had already been waiting for a while.

Upon hearing the message brought by Lan Ge'er, Jia Huan was speechless for a moment, but he readily agreed.

Fortunately, there are vacant houses near the martial arts school, so Li Wan's widowed aunt and two cousins ​​can stay there.

That place was originally a temporary dormitory belonging to the martial arts school, so finding a separate courtyard wasn't difficult.

So, when it was completely dark, Li Wan, along with her widowed aunt and two cousins, arrived here. After checking on the situation, they rested here for the night.

This place was originally set up by Jia Huan according to the modern apartment model, and it's completely ready for move-in.

Although the conditions aren't that great, they're still much better than the homes of ordinary people.

Jia Huan did not personally intervene, but instead had his maternal uncle Zhao Guoji's wife, who was also his aunt, take charge of receiving and arranging the reception.

"Brother Huan, thank you so much for your help this time!"

Li Wan finally found Jia Huan and said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
