The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Then, by working on the noodles, the entire body gets a full workout, and the results speak for themselves.

He was really looking forward to that day coming soon!

In addition, with her future father-in-law Lin Ruhai transferred to another post, Lin Daiyu returned to the Rong Mansion for temporary residence.

During this period, you will definitely feel down for a while.

As Lin Daiyu's fiancé, Jia Huan certainly couldn't ignore the situation; he had to find a way to give her something to do.

Only by keeping her busy can she avoid having the mind and energy to think about other things, otherwise she will turn into that sentimental and melancholic young woman in the original work!

Furthermore, Lin Daiyu even unites the three sisters of the Spring Festival and Xue Baochai, allowing them to utilize their intelligence and talents.

Based on their performance in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, they would definitely be considered top students in modern times!

Characters like Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai might very well be academic geniuses.

Since Jia Huan knows they are quite capable, it would be a waste of resources if he didn't find an opportunity to make good use of them.

Perfect timing, as my family is planning to build a port city on Jeju Island.

This port city, and the fields and forests that extend for miles around, all belong to him privately.

How can we make better use of limited resources to develop and build a port city, as well as its associated farmland and forests?

This is something Jia Huan needs to consider, and it's also a crucial part of whether his core power can rise overseas. It's a good opportunity to have Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and other women help him with their opinions.

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the truth!

He believed that Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and even the three sisters of the Spring Festival would not easily reveal the news.

But what would Jia Baoyu, the old lady who was always watching the sisters' movements, and Lady Wang's reaction be after they learned the truth? No one could guess.

Who knows, it's not impossible that the old lady and Lady Wang might sell Jia Huan out so that Yuan Chun could advance her career from concubine to imperial consort.

When Qin Keqing was in mortal danger, the old lady played a significant role in it!

Since it wasn't the Rong family that was in charge, there was no way to expect the old lady and Madam Wang to consider the issue from a higher level or perspective after they found out; that was highly unlikely.

Jia Huan dared not take the risk!

However, there are still some workarounds. Let's just treat it as a management game designed for Lin Daiyu.

The speed and efficiency of transporting people and supplies, as well as the specific situation of Jeju Island, were taken as the initial conditions, and then Lin Daiyu and other women were allowed to display their wisdom on the exquisite sand table.

Who knows, even the old lady might find it interesting and be attracted, and join in the research and study.

Just thinking about that scene makes Jia Huan chuckle.

Of course, there's no need to rush right now. We can send the sand table and all the detailed information to the Rong family after my future father-in-law, Lin Ruhai, leaves.

I wonder what kind of surprise Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and other women will give me?

Those who are blessed with good fortune will have good results in whatever they do, and Jia Huan firmly believes this.

Therefore, he firmly believed that the women would bring him surprises, not disappointments.

After leaving the Lin family, he returned to the Rong family mansion and met with the Second Master Zheng in the main study.

"What? Your Uncle Lin might be transferred to the Central Plains?"

The Second Master Zheng was somewhat surprised and murmured, "Is the news reliable?"

"My uncle-in-law just told me!"

Jia Huan said, "In addition, I have spoken with Uncle Lin and he will help Master get promoted to the position of Commissioner of the Court of Judicial Review as soon as possible. Master will also have to put in a lot of effort!"

"Really?"

The Second Master Zheng was overjoyed. With Lin Ruhai's strong support, his chances of success would be even greater.

Realizing his words were inappropriate, he gave an awkward laugh and said, "I didn't expect that something like this would attract your Uncle Lin's attention. I really shouldn't have!"

"We're all family, sir, there's no need for such formalities!"

Jia Huan chuckled softly: "Uncle Lin harbors resentment towards the imperial court and the current ruler!"

This left the Second Master Zheng at a loss for words, as he was well aware that the court and the current administration had been unfair to Lin Ruhai.

"The reason we support you so strongly is that we hope you won't let him feel the frustration of being isolated and helpless again at this crucial moment!"

Jia Huan's words were rather harsh, and Master Zheng's expression turned serious. He silently nodded to indicate that he understood.

He felt a little embarrassed, after all, he hadn't been able to help back then, or rather, he hadn't been aware of it.

By the time they realized what was happening, they had already started to rescue Lin Ruhai, which could be considered making amends for their mistakes.

Clearly, Lin Ruhai still cares deeply about his experience in Yangzhou.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have told him through Jia Huan that it was inappropriate to say such a thing.

If it were someone with a narrow mind, they might have held a grudge against Lin Ruhai. This is no joke; it happens all the time in officialdom.

"Rest assured, Ru Hai!"

The Second Master Zheng still stated, "If there are any ignorant people making baseless accusations, the Rong family and I will certainly not stand idly by. That's definitely not a problem!"

Jia Huan nodded and chuckled, "Master, my uncle must approve of your character, otherwise he wouldn't be telling me these things. After all, the situation in the court changes in an instant, and sometimes you can be stabbed in the back without even knowing why."

The Second Master Zheng's expression relaxed, and he nodded in approval.

After all, he had been in the position of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies for several years.

He still didn't see things very clearly in the court, but having seen more things, he naturally formed his own judgment.

Sometimes, it really feels like some officials are quite unreasonable, but there's just not much you can do about them.

Even though they knew some of these guys were extremely self-serving and their suggestions were unreliable, they still managed to get through, resulting in significant losses for the court, yet the court was powerless to do anything about it.

People act within the bounds of the rules. Unless they completely disregard the rules of the court, even if they know it's wrong, they can only grit their teeth and continue.

"What about your marriage to Daiyu?"

Master Zheng looked at Jia Huan and naturally changed the subject: "After the betrothal rites are completed, Ru Hai may not be able to return from his post in time. We can't just postpone the wedding, can we?"

Jia Huan is still young; next year he will be fifteen in actual age and seventeen in nominal age.

For men, it doesn't matter how late they get married.

But Lin Daiyu's prime is only a few years; she simply can't afford to wait that long.

Next year, Lin Daiyu will be seventeen years old in real age and nineteen in traditional Chinese age reckoning!

If I don't get married soon, I'll really become an old maid at twenty.

Although Jia Huan and her relatives didn't care, it would still damage her reputation if word got out.

Lin Ruhai, having kept Lin Daiyu until such a late marriage, naturally wouldn't allow his daughter's reputation to be damaged.

"If that's the case, then we can only ask the old lady and the master for help!"

Jia Huan smiled slightly and simply repeated Lin Ruhai's arrangements, concluding, "When the time comes, just have Sister Lin leave the Lin family home!"

"As for the old lady and the master, they will be stationed at the Lin family's place and my side, respectively!"

"As long as Hai has made arrangements, that's good. We shouldn't let Daiyu down!"

Master Zheng smiled and nodded, saying leisurely, "Speaking of which, your marriage is somewhat against the rules!"

"Master, this is the situation with the Lin family. We have no choice but to comply with their demands!"

Jia Huan said with a wry smile, "I would like to get married after Brother Bao, but Brother Bao is already quite old, and we still can't settle down!"

"And what about Cong-ge'er? This whole thing is a mess..."

As he spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile, indicating that he was quite innocent.

"It has little to do with you, so there's no need to feel guilty!"

Master Zheng waved his hand and said coldly, "As for your second brother Bao, it's really hard to say!"

After all, he is the only legitimate son, so it's impossible to just give up on him.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu's marriage was still undecided, he was quite anxious.

Unfortunately, the marriage of Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, was firmly controlled by Madam Wang and the old lady, leaving Master Zheng with no room to intervene and nothing he could do.

Of course, it wouldn't be impossible for him to forcefully intervene, but there would probably be a lot of trouble afterwards, so he couldn't be bothered to pay too much attention to it; out of sight, out of mind.

Ironically, Jia Baoyu himself showed no reaction to this at all, continuing to play as usual every day, displaying an innocent and carefree attitude that was quite an eyesore.

Regarding Jia Baoyu's affairs, Jia Huan maintained an attitude of ignoring and not getting involved. No matter what Master Zheng said, he did not react at all, just like a wooden figure.

Master Zheng understood his thoughts and naturally didn't waste any more words.

After Jia Huan took his leave, Master Zheng, unusually, went to the main hall of the second branch of the family and asked Madam Wang about it. The result was still the same, and his mood immediately became quite low.

"What's wrong with you, sir?"

It was rare for Master Zheng to come over on his own initiative, so Madam Wang was in a rather good mood. She asked curiously, "Baoyu's marriage is not something to be taken lightly. I've had him attend quite a few garden parties recently, and I'm sure he's gained something from them!"

Wishing all my book lovers a Happy New Year! May the Year of the Dragon bring you prosperity and good health!
