Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 298: Something is going on (Happy New Year)

Jia Baoyu has been quite popular recently.

I attended three or four garden parties in a row organized by ladies from the capital, and was highly praised.

This boy is very talented at pleasing his elders. He is also able to show off his posture to pretty girls and speaks nicely, so he naturally gets along like a fish in water.

For a time, Jia Baoyu actually showed signs of becoming a favorite in the marriage market of Beijing's powerful people.

Mrs. Wang and the old lady were both quite satisfied with Jia Baoyu's performance. Naturally, they immediately revealed it to Master Zheng, making him happy as well.

This is also the reason why Master Zheng said it casually when Jia Huan and Mr. Zheng were talking about their marriage.

If it is like before, Jia Baoyu's reputation is so bad that he can only smash it in his hands, and the second master of the government will not mention it more. It is just such a reality.

Jia Huan smiled on the surface, but naturally he didn't care in his heart.

Jia Huan was not qualified to participate in such a large-scale blind date meeting for the children of powerful people because of his background at this time.

But he has a wide range of sources of information. He naturally knows some of the secrets inside, but he doesn't bother to go there.

There, it is an outright accident-prone place!
Once an accident occurs, no matter what your thoughts and ideas are, you must be responsible!

Jia Baoyu also has an innocent temperament, so he can easily fall into the trap.

After hearing what Mr. Zheng Er said, his first reaction was: Do you want to remind him?
Don't let an accident happen then, and it won't end well.

Even if the Rong Mansion has the support of the Yuan Concubine in the palace, it will not work when the reputation of a noble daughter is at stake. Who doesn't have strong relatives or allies?
Unfortunately, when Jia Huan learned the news, it was already a little late.

He didn't say much that day. He planned to wait until he had the opportunity to publicize it in the mansion through Aunt Zhao's mouth to make Mrs. Wang and the old lady consciously alert.

The advantage of doing this is that it won’t set you on fire!
Otherwise, given the temperaments of the old lady and Mrs. Wang, they would probably suspect Jia Huan of having ulterior motives.

If he does good deeds and involves himself, he will not be so stupid!

As for the second master of politics, he should focus all his attention on competing for the position of general secretary.

As for Jia Baoyu, even if he wanted to discipline him, he could not get around the old lady and Mrs. Wang who were dedicated to protecting him, and it might even end up being counterproductive.

Who knows, before he could do anything good, bad news came from Rong Mansion.

At a recent garden party, Jia Baoyu made a big splash by saving the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang who accidentally fell into the water.

Mr. Zheng Er immediately called him back for discussion!

I am also speechless. Mr. Zheng can't find anyone else with whom he can discuss?
Only then did he know the details of what happened.

The plot is almost the same as the old story about dog blood!
When Jia Baoyu was attending a garden party, he happened to encounter the daughter of the Marquis of Jinxiang falling into the water.

If nothing else is said, how could Jia Baoyu not save someone in such a situation?
He didn't have any swimming skills, so naturally he could only ask the maid who came with him to help.

That's right, for a garden party for children of powerful people, the leader would definitely not be allowed to enter with his servants. If something unexpected happened, the person in charge of organizing the party would have a hard time explaining it.

Fortunately, the maids who followed Jia Baoyu were quite capable and had been carefully trained.

He knows a little bit about swimming, cooking, medical and other skills. Although he has many skills but is not very good at it, he can really come in handy at critical moments.

No, the person was rescued immediately, and Jia Baoyu's graceful figure that was wet by the lake water was all seen by Jia Baoyu. This guy's reaction was average, but the maid who followed was smart and immediately covered the body of the drowning lady with the cloak she brought with her.

It can be said that the maids around Jia Baoyu have done a pretty good job.

In modern times, someone who acts bravely and courageously should be praised by everyone.

It's a pity that this is the era of imperial power and ethics!

Jia Baoyu is in trouble!
The rescued lady of the Han family of Jinxiang Hou had no intention of trouble, but the concubine lady who was accompanying her was not happy and shouted that Jia Baoyu should be responsible.

It was as if he had witnessed Jia Baoyu take advantage of his sister-in-law, which made people unable to step down!

The organizers of the garden party were also embarrassed, and they couldn't cover up the matter if it got too big.

That's what happened. The dilemma for Master Zheng is whether Jia Baoyu should be responsible or not?

Of course, according to his temperament, Jia Baoyu must be responsible.

However, after all, Jia Baoyu acted bravely, and there were traces of being plotted inside. Besides, he was the only legitimate son, so he was a little hesitant for a while.

"Master, is it inappropriate to tell me this?"

Jia Huan was a little dumbfounded and said helplessly: "It seems. Nothing I say is appropriate!"

"This one……"

Mr. Zheng Er was a little embarrassed. In the moment of impatience, he had forgotten Jia Huan's status as a concubine. It was really hard to get involved in the current affairs.

"Now that you're here, tell me what you think!"

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Zheng Er still couldn't hold back and said: "As for what it will be like in the end, it has nothing to do with you!" "Well, I think it is not necessarily a bad thing for Brother Bao! "

Jia Huan said calmly: "After listening to the master's introduction, my first reaction was that the Jinxiang Hou family has no rules, and a concubine actually bullied the legitimate daughter!"

"When something like this happened, didn't you try your best to help hide it, but the concubine who didn't know how to enter the garden party yelled so loudly, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know?"

Mr. Zheng Er nodded silently, but his expression was a little ugly.

Such is his temperament that he follows the etiquette and rules in the book. Whether it is for one's own children or outsiders, the standards are the same.

Of course, it’s up to others whether they recognize it or not.

As Jia Huan said, treating a concubine as a concubine is something he absolutely cannot accept.

Jia Huan's abilities must be strong enough, so he can only try his best to get out of the house. At least he behaves quite low-key and obeys the rules in the house. This is one of the main reasons why the second master Zheng takes a high look at him.

As far as Mr. Zheng knew, Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu had never had an open conflict in the mansion.

Sometimes, Mr. Zheng Er made excessive demands, asking Jia Huan to help as much as possible when he could help at the clan school and outside.

Jia Huan did not refuse, nor did he perfunctory in private. He did help Jia Baoyu. The second political master also knew about this matter, but Jia Baoyu didn't know what was good and what was bad, and was unwilling to accept Jia Huan's kindness.

"Let's look at the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jinxiang who fell into the water. Let's not talk about the specific reason for falling into the water. It's just the behavior of her concubine after she made a fuss. Either she is born with a weak temperament or she is used to being suppressed!"

"No matter what, as long as there is no problem with her own conduct and no physical problems, she is still very suitable for Brother Bao. At least she can tolerate some of Brother Bao's behaviors!"

Jia Huan spoke cryptically, but this time Master Zheng reacted immediately.

He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. What Jia Huan said was really worth considering.

The family status of the Marquis of Jinxiang Mansion is not low, and his concubine has a higher status than Jia Baoyu.

This is not self-deprecating, but an unquestionable fact!
The only family background that Jia Baoyu can rely on is his parents and sister!
The title of Rongfu's descendant sounds nice, but in fact the title of Rongfu is not his, and it only has a mediocre status-enhancing effect in the circle of nobles.

The key still depends on the official position of the second political master. It can only be said that it is not satisfactory at the moment.

Fortunately, Yuanchun successfully sealed the concubine and gave birth to an imperial daughter. This had a greater boosting effect on Jia Baoyu's identity. After all, he was the emperor's biological uncle and would have to communicate with her frequently in the future.

The Marquis of Jinxiang is a general of the Fifth Army Commandery, a powerful general who controls a certain amount of military power!

The status of the second master Zheng is equal, but the other party has a title, so he can naturally surpass the second master Zheng, and his legitimate daughter status is also higher than Jia Baoyu.

In fact, Miss Jinxiang Hou Di, who happened to be about the same age, was also one of the targets of Mrs. Wang and the old lady when they chose a wife for Jia Baoyu.

At present, it seems that this young lady from Jinxiang is in an average situation in the Hou Mansion.

This is not a problem, as long as your identity is not leaked!
The key is that Jia Huan guesses that he has a weak temperament or is used to being suppressed. This is the characteristic that the second master Zheng values.

Damn it, I don’t even want to think about Mrs. Wang’s temperament!

If the daughter-in-law has a strong personality, will there be peace in Jia Baoyu's backyard in the future?

With Mrs. Wang's strong character, even if Jia Baoyu gets married, his backyard will still be firmly controlled by her.

Not to mention others, even Master Zheng himself can see this clearly.

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

The female elders of the Rong Mansion have always used simple and crude methods to beat their daughters-in-law, which is to send aunts and maids to the younger generation's room.

As long as you don't care about this, life doesn't have to be bad!

Jia Baoyu's temperament towards beauties is still very gentle.

In addition, since the second wife only had a legitimate son, Jia Huan had already left the house and lived alone, so there would not be any sibling disputes that were difficult to resolve.

As for the things in the backyard, with Jia Baoyu's passion, no one can be expected to dote on him alone!
In addition, this guy has no interest in outside affairs and is a typical rich and idle person.

As long as Rongfu remains intact for a day, the standard of living will not be affected much!
I don’t know if Mr. Zheng has considered this, but he was indeed a little moved at this time, and said directly to Jia Huan: "Here in the mansion, we will specifically inquire about the situation in the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion!"

"If the concubine of Jinxiang Hou Mansion has a docile personality, Baoyu can be held responsible to the end!"

"It's not a good thing to keep delaying his marriage!"

Mr. Zheng Er said slowly: "It just so happens that you and Brother Cong haven't gotten married yet, so let's take care of the matter of treating him as a brother, so as to avoid any trouble in the future!"

"Master, I will help you find out the news, but I won't get involved in other matters!"

Jia Huan made it clear and said directly: "It's really inappropriate for me to get involved!"

Mr. Zheng Er nodded helplessly and said angrily: "Okay then!"

　I wish you all good luck and good health in the new year,
