The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Of course, whether others agree or not is another matter.

As Jia Huan said, the idea of ​​a concubine overpowering the legitimate son was something he absolutely could not accept.

Jia Huan is capable enough, but he can only try his best to leave the mansion and cause trouble. At least he behaves quite low-key and follows the rules within the mansion, which is one of the main reasons why Master Zheng Er thinks highly of him.

As far as the Second Master Zheng knew, Jia Huan had never had any open conflict with Jia Baoyu in the mansion.

Sometimes, Master Zheng would make excessive demands, asking Jia Huan to help as much as possible at the clan school and outside the clan whenever he could.

Jia Huan did not refuse, nor did he try to fob it off privately; he genuinely helped Jia Baoyu. Master Zheng was aware of this, but Jia Baoyu was ungrateful and refused to accept Jia Huan's kindness.

"Looking at the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang who fell into the water, regardless of the specific reasons for her falling into the water, just her behavior after her half-sister made a fuss suggests that she is either naturally weak-willed or used to being suppressed!"

"No matter what, as long as she has good character and is healthy, she is a good match for Bao Erge. At least she can tolerate some of Bao Erge's behaviors!"

Jia Huan spoke cryptically, but the Second Master immediately understood.

He couldn't help but think that what Jia Huan said was indeed worth considering.

The Marquis of Jinxiang's family was of high social standing, and his eldest daughter was of even higher status than Jia Baoyu.

This is not self-deprecation, but an undeniable fact!

Jia Baoyu's only advantage was his parents and his elder sister!

Being a member of the Rong family sounds prestigious, but in reality, the Rong family title doesn't belong to them, and its effect on enhancing their status within noble circles is generally limited.

The key factor is still the official position of the Second Master Zheng; it can only be said that it is passable at present.

Fortunately, Yuan Chun was successfully made a concubine and gave birth to a princess, which greatly boosted Jia Baoyu's status. After all, he was the princess's maternal uncle, and they would have to keep in frequent contact in the future.

Marquis Jinxiang is a general of the Five Armies Commandery, a powerful commander who controls a certain amount of military power!

Her status was comparable to that of the Second Master Zheng, but she held a noble title, which naturally gave her an edge over the Second Master Zheng. Her status as the eldest daughter was also slightly higher than that of Jia Baoyu.

In fact, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang, who was of similar age, was also one of the targets that Lady Wang and the old lady were looking for when choosing a wife for Jia Baoyu.

It seems that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang is not in a particularly good position in the Marquis's mansion.

That's not a problem, as long as there are no oversights in their identity!

The key point is that Jia Huan guessed that she was either gentle or used to being suppressed, which was the characteristic that Master Zheng valued.

Damn it, don't they even consider what kind of person Madam Wang is!

If the daughter-in-law has a strong personality, will Jia Baoyu's harem ever have a peaceful life?

Given Lady Wang's strong personality, even after Jia Baoyu gets married, she will still firmly control his harem.

This is something that even Lord Zheng himself, let alone others, can clearly see and understand.

If the daughter-in-law is gentle or used to being suppressed at home, marrying into the Rong Mansion and becoming Jia Baoyu's wife might not necessarily be a bad thing.

The way the older women in the Rong family disciplined their daughters-in-law was always simple and brutal: they would send concubines and maids to the younger generation's rooms.

If you don't care about this, life might not be so bad after all!

Jia Baoyu was still very gentle when it came to beautiful women.

With the second branch of the family having only one legitimate son, Jia Huan, who left the mansion early on, there wouldn't be any intractable sibling rivalries.

As for the affairs in the backyard, given Jia Baoyu's amorous nature, he shouldn't expect to be the sole favorite of any of them!

In addition, this guy has no interest in getting involved in outside affairs; he's a typical rich and idle person.

As long as the Rong family remains standing, their standard of living will not be affected much!

It's unclear whether Master Zheng has considered these things, but he is indeed somewhat tempted at this moment, and directly tells Jia Huan, "We will specifically inquire about the situation at the Marquis of Jinxiang's residence!"

"If the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang has a gentle and agreeable personality, then Baoyu can be put in charge to the end!"

"It's not a good thing for his marriage to be delayed like this!"

Master Zheng said slowly, "It's perfect timing to take care of his duties as an elder brother before you and Cong get married, so as to avoid any trouble later!"

"Sir, I will help gather information, but I won't get involved in other matters!"

Jia Huan made his point very clear, saying directly, "It's really not appropriate for me to get involved!"

Master Zheng nodded helplessly and said irritably, "Alright then!"

Wishing everyone a prosperous and healthy new year!

This is really ridiculous!

After leaving the Rong Mansion, Jia Huan felt inexplicably amused.

He could naturally tell that Jia Baoyu had been tricked.

As for the person who plotted against him, it should be the young lady from the Jinxiang Marquis's mansion who was eager to make a big scene.

I don't know what this person was thinking. What exactly did they dislike about Jia Baoyu?

Just as he and Master Zheng said, if a woman is not too ambitious and doesn't have much objection to her husband having multiple wives and concubines, Jia Baoyu would actually be a good marriage prospect.

At least you don't have to worry about what's going on outside, and you can enjoy wealth and luxury for the rest of your life!

The next day, he contacted Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.

"You've all heard about what happened to my second son, right?"

When they met, Jia Huan didn't waste any time with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I invited you here today because I need your help!"

"Brother Huan, you're too kind!"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Just let us know if you need anything. We brothers will definitely help if we can, after all, we are good friends with Brother Baoyu!"

They could only sympathize with Jia Baoyu's plight; that was all they could say.

Such a situation can be a big deal or a small deal, depending on what the Rong family thinks.

Otherwise, Jia Huan wouldn't have specifically invited them to meet; it must have been about Jia Baoyu.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Bao's situation has put the manor in a very difficult position!"

Jia Huan said slowly, "It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but I want to find out the situation of the Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion before I say anything!"

"You should all know my second brother Bao's temperament. Any noble lady with a good temperament would have a good marriage with him!"

"But this matter is clearly strange, and the manor doesn't want to get involved in the internal family disputes of the Marquis of Jinxiang's family. That's why I asked you to come and help!"

"Oh, so that's what it is. No problem, no problem!"

Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief and asked directly, "How can I help you?"

"Do you all know Han Qi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jinxiang?"

Without wasting words, Jia Huan asked directly, "I want to find him and ask him some things in person!"

"Han Qi? We don't have much interaction with him!"

Feng Ziying pondered for a moment and said, "I don't usually get along with him, so it'll be a bit troublesome to find him!"

"I don't want to alarm the Marquis of Jinxiang's family, so I'll have to trouble you brothers!"

Jia Huan smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "As long as you can help me arrange to meet him, or find his address, that will be fine. I want to see him!"

"That's not difficult. Just wait for our news!"

Feng Ziying smiled lightly and said confidently, "When we brothers come to you for help in the future, don't pretend you don't know us!"

"how is this possible?"

Jia Huan laughed heartily and said leisurely, "Then I'll wait patiently for good news from you brothers!"

After seeing off Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, and the others, he went to the martial arts school and instructed the underlings to help him find out some gossip about the Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion.

Unexpectedly, the first to send back the message was actually the brothers in the church!

He was completely bewildered after hearing the information that the brothers in the church had gathered.

Only then could Jia Huan confirm that the Rong family was not the only eccentric among the nobles of the capital; the current Marquis of Jinxiang was also one of them.

His abilities are not in question; after all, becoming a powerful general in the Five Armies Commandery is an achievement that not everyone can attain.

However, when it comes to women, the current Marquis of Jinxiang is an absolute scoundrel.

In the era of feudal ethics, the most detested practice was favoring concubines over wives, and he did just that.

Of course, things haven't reached the worst point yet, but the situation of Lady Jinxiang is not good, and her legitimate son and daughter are not well received.

For some reason, the Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion did not conceal this information, making it easy for the brothers of the Ningrong Street branch to find out certain things.

Marquis Jinxiang doted on a particular concubine, and extended his affection to her children as well.

The standards for all their food, clothing, and daily necessities are the same as those for legitimate sons and daughters!

This was originally an internal family matter of the Marquis of Jinxiang. Although outsiders felt it was inappropriate, they couldn't say much. At most, they would just mutter that the person had lost their mind.

After all, he didn't actually do anything to favor his concubine over his wife; he just completely neglected his legal wife.

It was under these circumstances that the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang acted so arrogantly and domineeringly.

As for the eldest son and daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang, their reputations are not very good!
