The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Aunt Xue was somewhat surprised, as if she were seeing Jia Baoyu for the first time.

"Who knows?"

Xue Pan said dismissively, "Anyway, he and that kid Qin Zhong are inseparable every day, it's sickening to see!"

"A few days ago, because that kid Qin Zhong got a little close to another classmate, he made a huge scene at the clan school and acted all high and mighty!"

"I reckon the news reached my uncle, which is why he forced Baoyu to go to the main study to read in the afternoon!"

Of course, he did suspect that Jia Huan had tampered with the parts, but he didn't want to say it out loud.

Although Xue Pan wasn't very bright, he at least knew how to distinguish between inside and outside.

His mother, Aunt Xue, was a gossip. If she knew something, she would probably tell his aunt, Madam Wang, which would bring trouble to Huan and his brother.

"No way, how could Baoyu do this?"

Aunt Xue was greatly surprised, her expression shifting between light and dark, and she temporarily abandoned a certain idea.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan also reminded her, "Mother, if there is no intention to arrange a marriage, please tell my sister and Baoyu not to get too close, so as not to affect my sister's reputation!"

To be honest, I've been hanging out with a bunch of hooligans for a while now.

Even if those guys didn't take him to those shady places, spending so much time with them naturally influenced him, and he learned some things and principles.

With Jia Huan's strong restraint, those hooligans from Ningrong Street never dared to mess with respectable women.

Those who were doing well in the group were not to be neglected even by Xue Pan, but even such a powerful figure in the martial arts world dared not disobey Brother Huan's orders.

It's not that there aren't any rule-breakers, but they disappear without a trace very quickly, and sometimes just thinking about it makes my heart tremble.

This is the best example of what it means to be ruthless.

Xue Pan was frustrated to realize that his previous actions in Jinling could only be described as reckless, far inferior to Huan Ge'er's quiet and skillful methods of eliminating people.

As a result, he also had some feelings about this and gained a clearer understanding of certain social rules.

Looking at Jia Baoyu again, one naturally feels dissatisfied with everything about him!

She's carefree and acts like a child, spending all her time playing with her sisters and never trying to avoid suspicion.

By this time, Jia Baoyu was already over nine years old, making him a proper young boy.

At this moment, what Xue Pan found most offensive was this guy's habit of constantly mentioning his sisters!

After spending a lot of time hanging out with street thugs, one naturally learns that once a person's behavior becomes a habit, it will unconsciously show up no matter where or what the situation is.

Like the foul language and filthy words of a thug, he only restrained himself in front of Brother Huan, but in a moment of desperation, he still couldn't help but swear.

Jia Baoyu is not young anymore, and it won't be long before his family arranges for him to leave the mansion and make friends with the young masters of other mansions.

Just imagine how awkward and embarrassing it would be if Jia Baoyu, while befriending the young masters of other mansions, suddenly blurted out the names of his sisters.

Of course, given Jia Baoyu's temperament, he wouldn't care about such things.

However, the young ladies in the manor suffered an undeserved calamity, and their reputations were tarnished without their knowledge.

The feudal ethics of the Great Qian Dynasty were quite strict, and the girls in the mansion would be subject to rather cruel influences when they got married in the future. Xue Pan did not want his younger sister to be affected.

After finishing his story about his younger sister Xue Baochai, Xue Pan got up and went to wash up and rest.

He didn't want to talk much about what was happening outside with his mother.

Aunt Xue's personality is what it is; it might even affect his future behavior.

Hanging out with Huan Ge'er is really quite fun!

At this time, Xue Pan was at the age of passion and impulsiveness. His first foray into the martial world broadened his horizons, as if he had entered a colorful and wonderful new world.

Right now, he's focused on making his way in the martial world and isn't very interested in anything else.

Even with Jia Huan's restraint and the influence of those around him, he was no longer so enthusiastic about matters of love and sex. He only had Xiangling, whom he had abducted, by his side, which was quite rare for him.

Little did they know that this was also the main reason why Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai did not interfere too much or nag him about his life outside.

Whether a young man is addicted to alcohol and women can be clearly seen from his usual energy and spirit.

Xue Pan was in quite good condition, so Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai naturally wouldn't say anything, lest it backfire.

Therefore, they treated Xiangling, Xue Pan's only personal maid, much more kindly.

Xue Pan went to his room to rest, while Xue Baochai quietly slipped in from outside.

"Did you hear what your brother said just now?"

Aunt Xue wasn't surprised and asked directly, "What do you think?"

"Mother, I want to try to see if I can successfully enter the palace!"

Xue Baochai remained calm and said slowly, "I didn't expect that my brother seems to dislike Baoyu. Please don't let Aunt know, otherwise it will cause more trouble!"

At this time, she looked down on Jia Baoyu and was single-mindedly focused on entering the palace to make a name for herself. She didn't care at all what pretext she used to enter the palace; her reality was frighteningly cold.

Starting tomorrow, the regular three-chapter update schedule will resume.

Chapter 98 Terrifying (Please Subscribe)

That's why they say Jia Baoyu is so incredibly powerful in the Rong Mansion!

This fellow was thoroughly tricked by the Second Master Zheng, and then he caused all sorts of trouble, directly exempting him from the task of studying at the clan school in the morning.

Suddenly, I had an extra morning of leisure time.

The old lady also gave special instructions, asking the three sisters to spend the morning playing and relaxing with Jia Baoyu.

Completely ignored, Sanchun also had lessons to learn, and was personally taught by her female tutor.

In the afternoon, a group of scholars surrounded him in the main study, practically trying to feed him the knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, but he wasn't very happy about it.

During this time, the old lady and the second wife sent their head maid to bring drinks and snacks, as if they were afraid that the phoenix eggs would get hungry or tired, which made the group of scholars secretly click their tongues in amazement.

With the two powerful figures in the inner quarters making such a statement, the scholars and gentlemen who were holed up in the study naturally relaxed their academic requirements for Jia Baoyu.

When the Second Master Zheng left the yamen early to routinely check Jia Baoyu's progress in his studies, he was naturally both annoyed and displeased. He wanted to vent his anger, but a group of retainers were there to help ease the tension.

Master Zheng was easily swayed, and since he was also somewhat tolerant of Jia Baoyu, he went along with it and didn't make a big deal out of it. Such a scene would happen almost every few days.

As a result, the good intentions of the Second Master Zheng were essentially wasted.

Even an outsider like Jia Huan, whenever he heard the commotion coming from the study, couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, having nothing to say to Jia Baoyu.

Thus, in the last forty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, they even forcibly saved Jia Baoyu's reputation by introducing the so-called "fragrant orchids and cassia trees".

That's utter bullshit!

By then, all four great families of Jinling had fallen into decline, and it would have been difficult for Jia Baoyu's son, Jia Gui, to even receive a normal education, unless he was exceptionally gifted.

Another thing is that it is clearly a grass-related character, but it has a wood radical. I don't know why.

The Rong family's great resources are being wasted on this guy.

It's likely that Li Wan is secretly seething with hatred.

It's not surprising, as Li Wan and her son Lan Ge'er didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Rong Mansion.

One evening, Jia Huan ran into his elder sister Tan Chun again. It was rare for Jia Huan to take the initiative to ask her how she was doing with her studies since the three sisters had spent the morning with Jia Baoyu.

Tan Chun suggested that she could finish her homework and studies in the afternoon.

She also optimistically mentioned that the three sisters planned to take advantage of the morning's playtime to help Jia Baoyu improve his academic level. This idea was actually proposed by Tan Chun.

As for the person who actually carried it out, it was Lin Daiyu, who had already begun to actively study the Four Books and Five Classics on her own.

Cow!

What else could Jia Huan say besides giving a thumbs-up to express his admiration?

The male protagonist in the Dream of the Red Chamber world has truly terrifying luck!

In the blink of an eye, news came from the West City Command Center that Qiu Liang had fulfilled the agreement!

Jia Huan laughed and said to Xue Pan, who was getting impatient, "Alright, let's go see a good show today!"

"Don't worry, Brother Huan, the Xue family's guards are quite capable; they certainly won't let you down!"

Xue Pan rubbed his hands together, looking ready for battle, followed by a row of burly servants and guards, making him appear quite imposing.

The words were still ringing in their ears when, as a result, Jia Huan and Xue Pan watched an embarrassing scene from the city tower.

Standing high allows for a wider view, not to mention that both of them were holding monocular telescopes.

With the Xue family's influence, they should be able to get their hands on this.

As for the city walls, which ordinary people cannot easily access, Qiu Liang has already taken care of everything. This is the astonishing network of relationships within the noble family.

In truth, the defense of this city gate has a complicated relationship with the Jia family.

At the height of their power, the Ning and Rong families, with their three dukes holding military power and a first-class general, wove an astonishing web within the army.

It can be said that, apart from the Imperial Guards, more than 60 to 70% of the troops in the capital were controlled by the Jia family to varying degrees, which gives an idea of ​​the Jia family's former power.

Only twenty years have passed, but the influence of the Jia family in the military still lingers.

Especially among mid- to high-ranking officers, it still carries considerable prestige.

Unfortunately, none of the Jia family members in the Ning and Rong mansions were able to inherit the connections they had made in the military; otherwise, the Ning and Rong mansions would not have declined so drastically.
