The football field was filled with energetic and physically strong students, unlike in the original Dream of the Red Chamber where Jia Baoyu's servants could swagger around like they did.
When Jia Huan hurriedly arrived at the clan school, a lot of students had gathered around the football field.
There was no sign of a major fight, but out of the corner of my eye I saw Jia Baoyu's four servants, who were huddled in a corner of the courtyard rubbing their shoulders and arms.
With a slight smile, she strode over and asked curiously, "What happened? What happened?"
"Huan-ge'er is here!"
The students from the ethnic minority schools present greeted him warmly, their faces full of playful smiles.
Meanwhile, on the sidelines of the Cuju field, Jia Baoyu was grabbing Qin Zhong's sleeve, his face full of anger, not knowing what was going on.
When he saw Xiang Lianyu Ai not far away, he immediately felt a headache coming on.
"Brother Bao, what's wrong with you?"
He quietly leaned closer and asked curiously, "What, is there anyone here at the clan school who dares to make you angry?"
"Tell me about it, and I'll teach him a lesson. He's so ungrateful!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhong, who was originally entangled with Jia Baoyu, turned deathly pale.
He was probably terrified. He had heard of Jia Huan's reputation as the little tyrant of the clan school and was afraid that this guy would suddenly turn on him and kick him out of the clan school, which was no joke.
"This is my business, it's none of your concern!"
It's unclear whether it was Qin Zhong's pitiful appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, that aroused Jia Baoyu's protective instincts, but the fellow suddenly turned around and said to Jia Huan with dissatisfaction, "Also, I don't like this football field!"
This is the last update of the day.

If you don't like it, who do you think you are?
Jia Huan squinted and said calmly, "If Brother Bao doesn't like it, then don't come again!"
"The Cuju field is right inside the academy; I pass by it several times a day!"
Jia Baoyu complained, "It was so noisy this afternoon, making it hard to concentrate on studying!"
Damn it!
Jia Huan almost cursed out loud. How come the words "study in peace" sound so out of place with you?
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a bookworm, with his mind completely focused on books.
Perhaps novels and storybooks like "The Romance of the Western Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" are more suitable for your immersive reading experience?
"What can we do then? We can't just tear down the football field, can we?"
He spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
"Hmph, what's the point of saying all this?"
Jia Baoyu said unhappily, "Since these guys like playing Cuju so much, then they shouldn't come to the classroom and disturb others. Jingqing and I need to study our books properly!"
"Don't worry, Brother Bao, no one will bother you, I promise!"
Jia Huan chuckled and said, "It's best not to cause a scene at the clan school. If the master finds out, it won't be a joke!"
Upon hearing the address of "Master," Jia Baoyu's aggressive demeanor faltered, and he hurriedly pulled Qin Zhong toward the classroom, while also warning, "Huan-ge'er, you said it yourself!"
"Those two, Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, are not allowed to approach Jing Qing!"
Damn it, after all that beating around the bush, you've finally told the truth.
At this point, Jia Huan understood exactly what had happened.
Of course, there were still some things he wasn't clear about, so he beckoned Xiang Lian and Yu Ai to come over and talk.
These two guys, I don't know if it's because they've been in contact with rouge, powder, hair accessories and other small ornaments for too long, have become more and more effeminate and girlish, and every move they make is just like a little girl's affected manner.
It's only because they're both young and fairly good-looking that their demeanor and posture are so off-putting; otherwise, their overall appearance and demeanor would definitely be repulsive.
These two dared not act recklessly in front of Jia Huan, who was certainly capable of making a move.
He walked up to Jia Huan timidly and cautiously began to speak, "Brother Huan, about what happened before..."
"Explain what happened clearly!"
As the two classmates approached, they could smell a distinct scent of rouge and face powder.
Jia Huan was speechless, thinking to himself, "Can't you two have some self-awareness? This is the clan school, don't try any performance art, I don't appreciate it."
He inwardly grumbled, but his face remained impassive as he calmly said, "If it's your responsibility, you must accept the punishment!"
“If it’s not your fault, I won’t pin the blame on you, but you must tell the truth!”
Xiang Lian and Yu Ai exchanged a glance, both seeing nervousness in each other's eyes. Fortunately, Jia Huan gave them a chance to explain; otherwise, being labeled as 'seductive and alluring' would be no laughing matter.
The two worked together seamlessly, recounting the events in detail one after the other. Finally, they said helplessly, "Don't worry, Huan-ge, from now on, we'll avoid Qin Zhong whenever we see him!"
"And my second brother Bao, you shouldn't have too much contact with him. Otherwise, you never know when you'll run into trouble. I'm only warning you once; whether you listen or not is up to you!"
Jia Huan was speechless. The course of events was basically the same as his guess.
Qin Zhong's enthusiasm for studying at the clan school and his own level are quite average. He doesn't have much ambition either, and he's pretty much the same as the other lazy students at the clan school.
It's not that he had any bad intentions; he probably just wanted to make more friends and play with more people at the tribal school.
Judging from the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, this guy's situation is quite similar to Jia Rui's.
Both of them have an older, more experienced elder suppressing them. Judging from his introverted personality, Qin Zhong probably rarely interacts with outsiders, otherwise he wouldn't have shown it so obviously.
He has a somewhat effeminate air about him, which is probably due to the influence of his older sister, Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing must have received a strict royal education from a young age. Her appearance, temperament, and demeanor were quite eye-catching, and her radiance completely overshadowed Qin Zhong. Over time, Qin Zhong was naturally influenced by her.
This guy wanted to make new friends, so naturally he set his sights on Xiang Lian Yu Ai, who had a similar temperament to him.
Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, having been running errands for a while, have gradually become more skilled and naturally wouldn't refuse Qin Zhong's overtures. After all, having more friends means having more options.
Given the Jia family's academic background, Qin Zhong's origins are easy to ascertain.
The position of "Yingshanlang" in the Ministry of Works is a fifth-rank official position, which can be considered a position with real power.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was frugal and didn't maintain the palace buildings for a long time, leaving him with no way to make money and living a meager existence, it would have been a top-notch lucrative post in any other dynasty or under any other emperor.
No matter what, Qin Zhong is still a typical second-generation official!
Think about it, it's understandable. One day at school, a son of a high-ranking official whose identity has been made public wants to be your friend. Would you agree or not?
To put it bluntly, in the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, setting aside the Rong family, Jia Baoyu's friendship with Qin Zhong was considered a step up for him. The position of the Second Master Zheng in the Ministry of Works was nowhere near that of Qin Bangye.
Furthermore, although Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong were inseparable during their time at the clan school, Jia Baoyu was a very loving person, and Qin Zhong was just one of the people he 'liked'.
He preferred playing with the older sisters and younger sisters in the mansion; whenever he did so, the air felt cheerful.
That's true; since he started school, he hasn't been able to report to the ethnic school on time every day.
This has been especially true lately. Jia Baoyu has been absent for days on end, and Qin Zhong has been alone at the clan school. He has no friends and little interest in studying, so he must be feeling particularly lonely.
Then, this afternoon, when Xiang Lian and Yu Ai happened to be by the football field, he took the initiative to go over and say hello to them and make friends. It's a very normal thing.
Who would have thought that Jia Baoyu would come to the clan school to play with Qin Zhong at this time?
Upon seeing Qin Zhong and Xiang Lianyu chatting happily, seemingly having a very good relationship, she immediately became unhappy and even started making a scene.
To put it bluntly, it's just acting like a child!
That's how kids are, isn't it? If you're my best friend, you can't be best friends with others.
It's like having your most beloved toy taken away by someone else; how could you easily agree to that?
Crucially, Jia Baoyu was no ordinary brat; he was the second young master of the Rong Mansion, surrounded by servants and attendants. Every move he made attracted considerable attention and could lead to unpredictable consequences.
This fellow started making a scene, and the servants and attendants who followed him had to do something to appease him.
Then, they immediately attacked Xiang Lianyu and Ai, while simultaneously snatching Qin Zhong and sending him to Jia Baoyu's side.
The four young servants, in particular, were all full of energy and ready to show off their power at the clan school.
They had been following Jia Baoyu to the clan school for quite some time and had long wanted to give the primary school students there a good talking-to. How dare they unite and subtly ostracize Master Bao?
The students from the clan school who were playing football on the field couldn't possibly stand by and watch the servants around Jia Baoyu run rampant in the clan school, so they ran over and had a fierce fight with the four servants.
The students from the clan school who regularly practiced playing football were all strong and powerful, far superior to the four servants around Jia Baoyu, and were naturally suppressed.
Fortunately, Li Gui, the eldest servant, was relatively mature and composed. He did not actively get involved but instead stayed by Jia Baoyu's side, worried that something might happen. As a result, Jia Baoyu escaped a disaster.
The four servants were beaten very badly!
Fortunately, the students from the tribal school were restrained and did not go too far or specifically target their faces, which is why their faces were preserved intact; otherwise, they would have turned into pig heads by now.
Jia Baoyu was naturally furious when his servant was beaten.
In a fit of rage, the man was about to explode when he snatched the jade pendant from his neck and raised his hand to smash it to the ground. Fortunately, his attendant Li Gui was quick-witted and stopped him.
My young master, this is not the Rong family's backyard. There are no old ladies or second wives to back you up and make decisions for you!
If the magical jade is broken, it's a complete waste!
Even if the old lady hears the news, she'll only be angry for a while. Does she think she can come to the clan school and beat up all the students?
Jia Baoyu's actions were observed by all the students present, who were all quite amused.
