  Being a guest this time was a bit of an anticlimax.

However, Jia Huan was still quite satisfied.

He and Li Wan discussed the matter of inviting people, and they also had good food and drinks. The most important thing was the surprise that the psychic gem brought to him, and his luck value more than doubled.

However, the subsequent reaction was also fierce!
  The first person to be unlucky was Jia Baoyu. After Jia Huan finished eating, he came back and reported to Master Zheng.

Ahem, it's definitely not revenge in private, but something serious to say.

"... Judging from my sister-in-law's intentions, it's obvious that she has already thought of inviting someone to her parents' family!"

In the big study room, Jia Huan talked about Li Wan's special invitation to dinner. The focus was naturally on Li Wan's thoughts and Jia Huan's proposal.

Mr. Zheng Er listened quietly, with a rather gloomy look on his face.

Based on Jia Huan's understanding of him, he probably still had some feelings in his heart. Apparently he was aware of the neglect of his eldest grandson, otherwise he wouldn't be so quiet.

"Well done!"

After Jia Huan finished speaking, the second master Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said with a chuckle: "If a member of the Li family comes to give temporary lectures at the clan school, the overall level of clan studies will be raised to a higher level!"

This is a great thing for the clan and the family, so he naturally wants to express his stance directly.

"I'm afraid my sister-in-law is in a bit of trouble now!"

Jia Huan was hesitant at this time and hesitated: "Something happened at the small banquet later, which shocked my sister-in-law. I don't know if there will be any negative impact?"

"Whatever it is, just say it!"

Mr. Zheng Er was in high spirits, frowned slightly and said directly: "Is it possible that there is another accident?"

"It's like this. Just when my sister-in-law invited Brother Cong and me to the table, Brother Bao suddenly barged in regardless..."

Jia Huan did not add any exaggeration, but told the story of Jia Baoyu's trouble in the small courtyard where Xichun lived in an objective manner.

Not only Jia Baoyu's crying words and deeds, but also the changes in the expressions of a bunch of girls. Anyway, as long as he paid attention, he basically described them all.

"The evil obstacles, evil obstacles, and true anger are killing me!"

Mr. Zheng Er slammed the table, his face turned red and his neck was thick with anger, his eyes were wide open, and he felt that his old face had been completely wiped out by Jia Baoyu.

Look at that evil thing, what nonsense are they talking about?

There was also a scene where a bunch of girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale, which makes me feel extremely embarrassed just thinking about it.

Even with Mr. Zheng's slow thinking no matter what he did, he could still think of the embarrassment and unhappiness that Li Wan and Qin Keqing felt at that time.

Jia Baoyu's behavior was like stamping their faces on the ground.

For Li Wan, the eldest daughter-in-law, Mr. Zheng was a little cautious when facing her, not expecting Jia Baoyu to be so unscrupulous and not give her face.

This time, Mr. Zheng Er was really angry. Even the old lady and Mrs. Wang stopped him, but they couldn't stop him from determined to teach Jia Baoyu a lesson.

"You've done a great job, so don't get involved in this matter!"

Mr. Zheng Er had not lost his mind yet. When he went out, he warned Jia Huan: "If the old lady or your wife is looking for trouble... remember to find a way to send me a message!"

After saying that, Ang Qi hurriedly walked towards the backyard.

Jia Huan stayed in the big study room, staring at each other with several Qing guests. The atmosphere was quite awkward.

"Everyone, when you have free time, go and walk around the Clan School. I have high hopes for the future of the Clan School!"

Jia Huan chuckled and invited: "If my sister-in-law can successfully invite a member of our family to give temporary lectures, can you all come over and have a chat?"

"If everything goes well, through the Li family's selection process, we can invite more friends and classmates. They can give temporary lectures to review their past and learn new things, and they can also communicate and learn from each other!"

"If a trend is formed, there will be no shortage of candidates or even Jinshi in the clan school. It will be good for the reputation of the clan school and the improvement of the teaching level!"

"If you gentlemen are still motivated to make progress, this is a pretty good opportunity for communication!"

After saying that, he said goodbye and left, leaving the Qing guests looking at each other in confusion.

Jia Huan said that these few people definitely belonged to the second master of the government, and his closest confidants were quite moved.

Their first reaction was that Jia Huan took the opportunity to lose face to Jia Baoyu and used the second master's hand to kill with a borrowed knife.

But after hearing Jia Huan's description of the clan's future expectations, he immediately stopped thinking about it.

Instead, my heart was filled with enthusiasm, hoping that this time Jia Huan and Li Wan's ideas could be successfully formed.

When I looked at Jia Baoyu at this time, I naturally felt unspeakable disgust and disgust.

Damn it, if Jia Huan's idea succeeds, it will be quite beneficial to them, the Qingke husbands under the second master of politics.

Because of their family problems and their own abilities, they could only entertain themselves in the big study room and could not participate in the activities of the Juren or Jinshi circles. In other words, their future and the future of their descendants will be like this.

But if the Jia family can be successful in promoting people and even becoming scholars, they can slowly enter their circle with the help of the relationship between the second master Zheng.

If you want to take a further step in the imperial examination, this is a great opportunity.

Even if you give up the idea of ​​​​ascension, your children at home and the younger generations of the clan can also take advantage of the opportunity.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and then I realized that Jia Huan's behavior was not deliberately targeting Jia Baoyu.

"If necessary, we have to help Mr. Huan push him!"

"Yes, this is such a good opportunity. It would be such a pity if something goes wrong because of Second Master Bao!"

"A loving mother often loses her son. Fortunately, Mr. Huan knew what he said and didn't tell Mr. Zheng what he said before. Otherwise, Mr. Zheng would be furious!"

Several core Qingke husbands understood very well the enthusiasm of the second master Zheng for pursuing literati.

Seeing that ethnic studies can have such an idea and become a gathering place for people who come to Beijing to hold meetings in the future, I am afraid that I will wake up with joy even in my dreams.

But if because of Jia Baoyu, the trouble is gone, or there are many more twists and turns, I feel like Mr. Zheng will go crazy just thinking about it.

Anyway, the second wife already has his eldest son, Brother Lang!
  Shaking their heads, the several Qing guests looked at each other and immediately went to bed.

That night, Master Zheng broke into Rongqing Hall angrily and took Jia Baoyu directly back to the big study.

Ignoring the frightened Jia Baoyu, he directly directed the young man to do the housework!

When the old lady and Mrs. Wang hurried over, surrounded by a group of maids and women, Jia Baoyu's buttocks had been beaten to pieces.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang cried and howled together, and finally successfully rescued the 'dying' Jia Baoyu.

Mr. Zheng's second master looked dejected, probably extremely disappointed in Jia Baoyu.

He did not cry bitterly like in the original novel Red Mansions, but just sat silently on the chair in a daze for a long time.

There is no greater sadness than heartbreak, this is the state!
  When Mr. Zheng Er first arrived at Rongqing Hall, Jia Baoyu was acting coquettishly in front of the old lady.

It's nothing. Sanchun and Xue Baochai's expressions were obviously a bit unnatural, and there was some alienation and estrangement between them and Jia Baoyu.

Fortunately, this boy didn't notice at all and kept greeting his sisters.

When Mr. Zheng Er noticed this, his mood naturally became even worse.

Obviously, Jia Baoyu has not yet reacted, and he has done something wrong and has not apologized to the person involved.

Otherwise, the expressions and subtle reactions of Sanchun and Xue Baochai would not be so obvious, allowing him to see some problems and clues.

You can imagine how disappointed I was at that time, and it was just a habit.

Otherwise, it would not be that simple for the old lady and Mrs. Wang to take the person away easily!
  And when several close disciples told him Jia Huan's expectations for clan studies, they were filled with anticipation and anger.

It's just that the old lady looked at Jia Baoyu very closely and didn't give him a chance at all, otherwise she would definitely be beaten severely.

Fortunately, Li Wan still wrote to his father for the sake of his son's studies, otherwise Mr. Zheng would not be able to suppress his murderous thoughts.

It was not easy to invite Li Wan to come over and say anything. He just gave Lan Geer a set of four exquisite study treasures, both to appease him and to show his importance.

On the other hand, through Jia Huan, he comforted the head of the Ning Mansion next door.

There is only so much he can do. Just Jia Baoyu can make Mr. Zheng very angry. If he behaves like a monster again, will he still be killed?
  On the other side, the old lady and Mrs. Wang brought Jia Baoyu back to Rongqing Hall. After comforting and settling him, they naturally wanted to find out what happened.

This pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also weird. They intervene forcefully without knowing anything.

Even in modern times, this behavior is quite disgusting, let alone the era of strict feudal ethics.

The "Three Character Classic" makes it very clear: It is the fault of a son not to teach his father!

It's not the fault of a son who doesn't teach his son. What they interfere with is the normal right of Master Zheng to educate his son, which can easily arouse resentment.

Of course, the old lady and Mrs. Wang would definitely not think so. They felt that Jia Baoyu was a good boy. Even if he had any faults, they were other people's faults and had nothing to do with Jia Baoyu.

Then, they easily found out that Li Wan used the venue of Ning Mansion next door to treat Jia Huan and Jia Cong to dinner, and they suddenly felt unhappy in their hearts.

If you want to treat guests, isn't there room in Rong Mansion, so you go to Ning Mansion next door to borrow a place?
  Both the old lady and Mrs. Wang felt that Li Wan's behavior was very inappropriate. If outsiders knew about it, they would think that Rong Mansion treated Li Wan as harshly as Lan Ge'er and his mother.

Also, how could Jia Huan and Jia Cong be so virtuous? Do they still need to invite them to dinner solemnly?
  The first reaction was, is Li Wan out of his mind?

The next reaction was that the widowed sister-in-law specially found a place to entertain the two brothers-in-law and spread the word that she would be shameless even if she went to the Rong Mansion. What a nonsense!
  As for Jia Baoyu making a big fuss in Xichun Courtyard, the old lady and Mrs. Wang didn't take it to heart at all. Baoyu was still a child.
