"Uncle Guo, what do you think?"

Jia Huan heard Shi Xiangyun laughing and teasing Jia Baoyu.

Without thinking too much, he knew what Jia Baoyu would say.

Sure enough, Jia Baoyu was not very happy. He only said that the palace was not good at all. His sister Yuanchun went there to suffer and could not go home for many years.

Jia Tanchun knew that he could not let Jia Baoyu talk anymore, so he hurriedly changed the topic and talked about writing poems.

At this time, Jia Baoyu's interest aroused and he discussed the poems he had read with his sisters.

Because they had to wait for Jia Mu and other seniors to come back, the juniors, although tired, could not leave the hall.

Jia Baoyu and others passed the time by chatting about poetry, while Li Wan and Wang Xifeng chatted about women's topics.

Jia Huan told Jia Cong a short story in a low voice.

Jia Cong is three years younger than Jia Huan and is much more pitiful than Jia Huan.

His biological mother died long ago, and his biological father doesn't care about him. He is just a little transparent in Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Huan was six years old, he discovered that the child almost fell into the pool because no one was watching.

Jia Huan pulled him away from the pool and looked at the little fool who was smiling happily and didn't know what would happen. Jia Huan sighed.

From then on, Jia Huan would often visit Jia Cong and bring some toys and food to the children.

He bought them all from the street. They were ordinary toys that didn't cost much, but they were very popular with Jia Cong.

Therefore, Jia Cong admired Jia Huan very much and was very close to his cousin.

Jia Huan taught Jia Cong how to read and write, and also taught him some basic martial arts. He also told Jia Cong not to tell others and not to be discovered by others.

Jia Cong obediently agreed and strictly followed the instructions.

Over the years, no one has really discovered that Jia Cong was knowledgeable in literature and martial arts.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that everyone in Rongguo Mansion ignored Jia Cong.

Jia Cong is a smart child and very well-behaved.

Jia Huan also discovered that this child is very good at acting.

His role as Frozen Cat is more impressive than Jia Huan's.

After Yingchun learned that Jia Huan and Jia Cong had a good relationship, she began to care about her younger brother and made clothes and shoes for Jia Cong.

She sympathized with this younger brother and was completely deceived by the image presented by Jia Cong. She did not know the true face of this younger brother.

Two more hours passed before the elders of the Jia family returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Every one of them was beaming with joy. Although they were tired, they were in high spirits.

Seeing that the children were still waiting for them to come back in the hall, Mother Jia was very distressed and immediately asked the children to go back to rest.

Jia Huan pulled Jia Cong out of the hall, and the two of them walked behind the others.

The other young masters and ladies had maids accompanying them, but they were the only two who did not.

The two of them looked very pitiful.

But only two of them thought it would be troublesome to have followers following them.

As Jia Huan walked, he asked Jia Cong in a low voice: "How is your horse squatting performance?"

Jia Cong also replied in a low voice: "I can squat for half an hour now."

Jia Huan was satisfied: "Not bad. You sneak out at night and go to the old place, and I will teach you a set of stances."

Jia Cong nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

He was actually old enough to go to school, but because of Jia She's neglect and other people's neglect, Jia Cong was unable to go to school.

But he knew the importance of his skills, and he would study hard and seriously whatever Jia Huan taught him.

At night, the two brothers evaded the night watchers and met in a corner of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Huan taught Jia Cong a simple but effective stance.

This is the stance he learned when he was a young monk in the Shaolin Temple. Although the movements are simple, the effect is extraordinary and can help those who practice stance develop internal strength.

Now that Jia Cong is still young, he cannot understand the advanced internal skills taught to him. It would be bad if he accidentally becomes possessed by fire after practicing.

It is better to teach him simple basic internal skills and let him lay a good foundation.

Jia Cong happily learned new skills and did not dislike the boring work of standing at all.

The next day, Rongguo Mansion was very lively.

Everyone else heard the news about Jia Yuanchun's concubine, and they all came to congratulate her with generous gifts.

Wang Xifeng was extremely happy.

These gifts are very valuable. Putting them into the treasury can temporarily relieve the financial pressure on the Rongguo Mansion.

But she didn't know that Rongguo Mansion was about to bleed heavily.

Today’s income is only one-tenth of future expenses.

Wang Xifeng was so proud that she walked like a breeze. Although there were more things going on, she handled them well.

Wang Xifeng took Yingchun with her and asked her to teach her housekeeping skills.

After Jia Mu found out, she sent other girls to Wang Xifeng and asked Wang Xifeng to teach these girls housekeeping skills.

Jia Tanchun was very happy and actively followed Wang Xifeng to help her handle her affairs.

She knew that this was a very precious opportunity and she must seize it.

Xue Baochai looked on with a smile and did not take the initiative to help. Instead, when Wang Xifeng encountered any difficulties, she would give suggestions, always to the point.

Aunt Xue taught Xue Baochai that she had already learned how to be a housekeeper. At this time, she was just here to join in the fun.

But Shi Xiangyun and Jia Xichun were very perfunctory about this matter.

Shi Xiangyun only had Wan Nao and her beloved brother in her heart. Xichun had a cold nature and neither of them were interested in the housekeeper. They went to Wang Xifeng to join in the fun.

Wang Xifeng doesn't expect these two people to help her anymore. With Yingchun Tanchun and Xue Baochai helping her, her workload has been reduced a lot.

After handling the affairs that day, Wang Xifeng finally had some time to relax. Wang Xifeng sat with a few girls eating fruit and chatting.

The fruit was delivered from the south, which reminded everyone of Lin Daiyu who was still in the south.

"I don't know when Sister Lin will come back. She has been gone for almost half a year," Tan Chun said.

Wang Xifeng had just received a letter from Jia Lian two days ago and knew about the situation in Jiangnan.

Originally, the Jia family thought that Lin Ruhai was about to die and asked Jia Lian to go to Jiangnan with the idea of ​​moving the Lin family's property ship to the Jia family.

As a result, when Jia Lian arrived in Jiangnan, he found that although Lin Ruhai was weak and sick, he was not sick enough to die. He just missed his daughter, so he took her back to Jiangnan.

When Jia Lian reported the situation to Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang was extremely disappointed.

On the other hand, although Jia Mu was disappointed, she was also a little happy.

After all, Lin Ruhai's official position is not low. He has been alive, and Rong Guofu also has a high-status network in the officialdom.

Later, Baoyu and Daiyu got married, and Baoyu also had a father-in-law who was a high-ranking official, who could give Baoyu a lot of help.

Originally, Jia Lian should have returned to Rongguo Mansion after sending Daiyu home, but his ability to deal with chores was discovered by Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai didn't want Jia Lian's skills to be buried, so he kept him by his side to train and teach, thinking that Jia Lian could find a real job when he returned to the capital.
