The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Besides, Yingchun's personality is what it is, and she is not suited to overly complicated environments!

To say that Jia Huan and Yingchun had any feelings for each other is pure nonsense.

He has been reborn for so long, and the chances of meeting each other are very few. He doesn't even know if he has met them a hundred times in total, and each time it was the three springs together.

If Jia Huan hadn't met Sun Shaozu by chance, he definitely wouldn't have remembered Yingchun.

But now that he remembered it and felt sorry for its final fate in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, he naturally wanted to help it, since he had the ability to do so at the moment.

The problem is that none of the eligible young noblemen he knows seem quite suitable, no matter how you look at them.

Among his underlings, there were some who were compatible in temperament, but their backgrounds and social status were too low. Master She would never agree to such a thing, as it concerned his reputation and he could not compromise.

If Yingchun were favored, that would be fine, but unfortunately she was not favored.

When it comes to Yingchun's marriage, Master She's first consideration is definitely the tangible benefits and his reputation; whether it's suitable or not is completely unimportant!

This is also the difficulty faced by women in the feudal imperial era!

If parents don't care much, children can easily become victims of a power struggle.

Fortunately, Master She cares about his reputation and will definitely consider a marriage of equal social standing, ensuring at least a good quality of life. As for other matters like feelings, they are not even on his radar.

Judging from Jia Lian's cold attitude towards Yingchun, there might be some conflict between them.

Since Yingchun couldn't directly offend Jia Lian, the only other option was her deceased aunt.

Not knowing the reason, Jia Huan did not dare to go to Jia Lian's house to discuss Yingchun's marriage.

Unless Yingchun's marriage could help him make his way in the officialdom more easily and smoothly, which is obviously unlikely, then he might as well not go looking for Jia Lian.

And so, while pondering and strolling leisurely, he returned to the martial arts school, which was also the headquarters of the Ningrong Street branch, as dusk approached.

He didn't linger, just walked around the martial arts hall and the medical clinic for a while. After confirming that everything was normal, he went straight home, accompanied by his usual large number of guards.

It's not about showing off or being overly timid, but rather about avoiding trouble.

With Jia Huan's current martial arts cultivation, if he is properly prepared, he could even sneak into the palace unnoticed. Even if something unexpected happens and he is exposed, he is confident that he can escape unscathed.

Unless it's heavy weaponry, like a ballista, that can directly cover him, taking his life won't be so easy.

Sometimes Jia Huan was quite curious about how much his physical fitness could be improved.

Jia Huan's current physical condition could be easily simulated, just like those top experts in the low-level martial arts world.

However, he did not realize that he had encountered a bottleneck in improving his physical fitness through breathing exercises.

Combined with the formidable skills he had previously cultivated, he could be said to be virtually invincible.

At this point, if someone with malicious intent were to attempt an assassination, it would be utterly reckless and a blatant act of suicide, completely ineffective.

Jia Huan had no intention of using himself as bait, nor did he want to get caught up in any conspiracies or schemes. So, he could only strengthen the security around him, making it clear to those with ill intentions that the price to pay for targeting him through physical means would be extremely high.

That's all he can do.

If, despite such precautions, someone still dares to come to his door, Jia Huan wouldn't hesitate to take action and send them to their death sooner, to avoid wasting food and resources.

By the time I got home, it was already quite dark outside.

The house was brightly lit, illuminating the front and middle courtyards. Maids and servants came and went, and naturally, there were also strong and fierce guards.

"Young Master, the eldest son of the Xue family sent a visiting card earlier, saying that he will formally pay a visit in a couple of days!"

As soon as he entered, the butler brought over an exquisite visiting card and gently placed it on the coffee table next to Jia Huan, saying with a light laugh, "I said there was no need for such formalities, but Master Xue wouldn't accept it!"

"Oh, since Xue Pan insists, there's no need to be polite with him!"

After glancing at the exquisite visiting card, Jia Huan nodded to indicate that he understood, and was also quite curious.

Meanwhile, the Xue family members gathered together.

"Pan'er, do you think Huan-ge'er will help?"

Aunt Xue spoke, her face full of hesitation and worry: "How can a son of a concubine from the second wife be able to handle matters concerning the first wife?"

"Of course I can!"

Xue Pan replied without hesitation, "If it weren't for Huan-ge'er's help, I estimate it would have been very difficult to succeed this time. After all, our Xue family is just a family of imperial merchants!"

He then said with a wry smile, "If I had known this would happen, I would never have acted recklessly in Jinling. In the end, I got myself into a very mess!"

"Wouldn't it be alright if we asked Prince Zhongshun to help us get an official position?"

At this moment, Uncle Xue spoke up: "After all, our Xue family has contributed greatly to the affairs in the outer seas. Even if we haven't made any great contributions, we have certainly put in a lot of hard work!"

"If all else fails, we can always throw silver at it; that'll definitely make a splash!"

"This matter is not difficult for Prince Zhongshun!"

Xue Pan smiled wryly and pointed out the difficulty directly: "But in this way, our Xue family will be completely bound to the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, and it will be difficult to step down in the future!"

"Doesn't Pan'er want to be tied to the Prince's Mansion?"

Uncle Xue was a little puzzled and asked directly, "Isn't this a good thing?"

As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!

Xue Pan said helplessly, "To our Xue family, Prince Zhongshun is also a ruler!"

"If you're truly bound to the Prince's mansion, you won't have any power to resist when you're completely taken advantage of!"

"If we're going to form a bond, it has to be with the Huan Brothers. At least the Huan Brothers still consider us allies!"

These blunt truths left the Xue family members present speechless.

"Then, how about having Feng Lazi intervene?"

At this moment, Xue Baochai hesitated and said, "Feng Lazi loves money the most. As long as we give her enough money, we should be able to persuade her easily!"

"I think this is a great idea!"

Aunt Xue agreed, "They're all from the main branch of the family, and Feng'er is in charge of the main branch's internal affairs, so she has quite a bit of influence. She'll probably be able to help!"

"It might not be that easy!"

At this moment, Xue Pan spoke up: "I seem to have overheard Brother Huan mentioning that the Master seems to have some plans, but I don't know exactly what they are?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai's heart stirred. She gave Aunt Xue a wink and pointed vaguely in the direction of the palace, the meaning of which was quite clear.

Aunt Xue's face darkened slightly, and she remained silent for a moment, her mood rather somber.

"Brother, I think we should try to do things from multiple angles!"

At this moment, Xue Baochai suggested, "While we're trying to contact Feng Lazi, we can also try to find out what Huan Brothers are saying, and see if we can contact Master She directly!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's the only way!"

At this moment, Aunt Xue muttered, "Logically speaking, we are imperial merchants, so the best choice would be to form a marriage alliance with other imperial merchants. Why make things so complicated?"

After hearing Aunt Xue's complaints, Uncle Xue remained silent, and Xue Pan also had no intention of speaking.

Only Xue Baochai couldn't help but speak up to explain, "If my brother doesn't have the opportunity, there's nothing wrong with this choice. At least it can be a powerful alliance to ensure that our family's status as an imperial merchant is more secure!"

"But now that we have the opportunity to change sides, we should give it a try!"

"My brother's marriage partner must not be chosen carelessly, and we must not incur the displeasure of the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion and Brother Huan!"

Jia Huan, of course, was unaware of the Xue family's predicament and slept soundly through the night, feeling refreshed and energetic.

He gets up early every morning to exercise, but he just keeps jogging in the small training ground in the front yard.

His breathing was quite long and deep, making it difficult for outsiders to hear clearly.

The body's qi, blood, muscles, bones, and internal organs vibrated slightly and rhythmically.

Each vibration is a full-body workout, exercising both the outside and the inside.

The 30% progress bar on the cheat code represents the effect of each workout. Only 30% of the body is fully trained, so there is still great potential.

His training has reached a level of meticulous detail, and he no longer needs overly intense physical stimulation.

He jogged for an hour and started to sweat a little, then stopped his workout for the day.

For Jia Huan, an hour of jogging had given his entire body a workout, and the results were absolutely fantastic, leaving him feeling incredibly energetic and refreshed.

I wonder what the rumored internal energy cultivation is like, and what its effects are.

Compared to the breathing techniques I figured out myself, which is superior?

Unfortunately, with his current energy level, he is not yet able to access the true methods of cultivating internal energy!

Jia Huan was not discouraged. Whether it was hard kung fu or breathing techniques, the fundamental purpose was to exercise the body and improve physical fitness. There was no need to worry too much about the differences.

After having breakfast, he leisurely went to the clan school to check on the situation, which had become a routine.

As for schools, the stricter the management, the better, as long as they don't deliberately torment the students!

The scale of the clan school has reached the limit of what was expected.

Basically, it's unlikely that the scale will be expanded and the number of students and teachers will be increased.

After all, it's not a good thing for the Jia family's clan school in the capital to be too large!

As long as they could continuously cultivate talent, that would be enough. Jia Huan and the elders of the Jia family in the capital had relatively simple ideas and did not have the intention of expanding and strengthening the academy.
