The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

They believed that pleasing the Second Master Zheng and outshining the phoenix-egg Baoyu was far more important than going out to study.

The key point is that there are quite a few people who hold this strange idea!

In other words, Jia Huan was young, and neither the master and mistress nor the maids and servants seemed to care about keeping quiet when they talked about trivial matters.

Otherwise, how could he possibly know so much about the customs and practices in the Rong family's backyard, given that he had only been reborn for a few days?

He finished two large bowls of white rice and most of the dishes in one go before getting up to stroll around the yard to digest.

As for the remaining dishes, Aunt Zhao's two maids, Xiao Jixiang and Xiao Que, naturally wouldn't waste them.

This is also the main reason why the head maids in the back courtyard lived a very high standard of living.

Being able to enjoy the leftovers from the ladies and young women was considered a luxury.

To be honest, Jia Huan rarely got to enjoy the delicacies of the Dream of the Red Chamber, but the head maids in Rongqing Hall could enjoy them every day.

As Jia Huan strolled along the corridor, his mind was completely focused on the golden finger in front of him.

That's right. As a transmigrator, he also has a cheat system with a rather ordinary name: Luck Learning System.

It's actually just a regular learning system, without any extra points or other features.

It seems its only function is to display learning progress!

At this moment, a small panel appeared in the void before his eyes.

On the panel, there is only one learning project, named "Making Mud," with a progress of three percent.

After careful consideration over the past few days, I've realized that the only way to improve my learning progress is to keep mixing with mud and practicing.

There were no enlightening tips for adding points; I only gained a dozen or so points through my own hard work and study.

As for the role of integration, it has not yet been fully understood.

In addition, the luck associated with the learning system prefix allows him to be in an amazing state for a period of time, such as having photographic memory or extraordinary comprehension.

As for acquiring fortune, it is obtained by changing the fate of important characters in Dream of the Red Chamber, or by having significant influence in a country or region, or by successfully changing dynasties.

That's why Jia Huan didn't want to stay in the Rong Mansion's backyard anymore, and also because he wanted to verify the existence of destiny, which led to his previous encounter with Master Zheng in the garden.

Unexpectedly, things went very smoothly, and he and Congge were able to start school ahead of schedule, which could be considered a slight change in the fate of the two brothers.

Sure enough, on the system panel, the gray area representing fortune has become whiter than before.

At the same time, a surge of information suddenly flooded my mind.

If one is willing to expend the luck one has just acquired, one can be in an amazing state of photographic memory and extraordinary comprehension for three days.

Although he was tempted, he had no intention of wasting his time.

Are we really going to waste all that hard-earned luck just to figure out how to make better mud?

It would be better to figure out for yourself whether adding a little bit of children's urine or excrement to the mud would have a better effect.

It's not that he can't add more items to the learning panel, such as walking, sitting, or lying down, let alone reading and recognizing characters.

The key point is that Jia Huan is in the backyard of the Rong Mansion, and he is always under the watchful eyes of the maids and servants. If he shows any strangeness or abnormality, he will not have a good outcome. He dares not risk his own safety to test the power of the Second Madam, Lady Wang.

Chapter 4: Everyone Has Two Sides (Please Read On)

Jia Huan wouldn't be foolish enough to actually wait for Aunt Zhao to come back and recite scriptures for him.

After strolling around the yard to digest my food for a while and studying the cheat code for a bit, I washed up and went to bed early.

He slept very well and soon fell asleep, vaguely hearing Aunt Zhao's dissatisfying scolding.

I had a good night's sleep. In the morning, I jogged around in the yard for a while until I felt warm, then I finished exercising and washed up and ate my meal amidst Aunt Zhao's grumbling.

"I'm done eating, I'm going to find Cong-ge!"

Unable to bear Aunt Zhao's constant accusations of being a "maggot-hearted wretch" and a "unlucky seed," he ran away immediately after finishing his breakfast.

Cong-ge'er was already waiting in the garden. When he saw Jia Huan coming over, he immediately waved and said with a smile, "Huan-ge'er, let's go play by the pond and the rockery!"

"it is good!"

The two brothers had no maids with them and ran directly to a secluded pond not far from the back garden, where there were many artificial hills, strange rocks, and weeds.

This place is where the two brothers usually play, and they are rarely disturbed by maids or servants.

Of course, if anything goes wrong, don't expect to get timely help.

The importance of agility and swimming skills!

"Huan-ge'er, aren't you going to play together?"

Cong-ge'er started picking up stones with practiced ease, and then dug up some mud from the somewhat dried-up pond. Soon his hands and face were covered in mud, and it was unclear what he was playing with.

Seeing Jia Huan just standing there pacing back and forth, he stopped what he was doing and asked curiously, "I need to build a small house, can you help me?"

"No, no, you play by yourself!"

Jia Huan was a little embarrassed and waved his hand, saying, "I was thinking, could we leave the manor this afternoon?"

"So fast?"

Jia Cong exclaimed happily, "I've heard there are lots of fun things outside the mansion!"

For some reason, he suddenly frowned and said, "But I don't have any money on me!"

Given the environment and atmosphere of the Rong family's backyard, he understood the importance of money at a young age.

As a son born out of wedlock, he received a monthly allowance of two taels of silver, but had no other means of earning money, so he lived a very frugal life.

It's fortunate that the wet nurse was reliable and managed the money very strictly; otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to make ends meet.

"Don't worry, you'll receive eight taels of silver a year at the clan school. Paper, ink, brushes, inkstones, lunch, and after-meal snacks will all be free!"

Jia Huan comforted him, "Besides, I still have some spare money. I don't have to worry about buying a candied hawthorn or some other trinkets when I go out!"

"Really? That's great!"

Jia Cong immediately became happy, and a joyful smile appeared on his little freckled face.

He didn't care whether Jia Huan would give him any money; he was an optimist.

Tsk, kids are so easy to please!

Just then, a little maidservant came running along the garden path leading to the secluded pond. She was none other than Xiao Jixiang, the maidservant of Aunt Zhao.

In the unfriendly chill of early spring, panting and sweating profusely, he suddenly stopped when he saw the two little brothers 'playing'.

"Young masters, the master just sent someone to say that the clan school has already made arrangements for you to start school today!"

After saying that, he ignored the two boys and turned to leave.

"Come on, let's go back and change our clothes!"

Jia Huan was surprised by how swiftly Master Zheng acted, and hurriedly told Cong-ge to leave and go back to change his clothes.

Fortunately, Cong-ge had told me beforehand that the master had agreed to let him go to school, otherwise this time the truth might have been exposed.

It can only be said that Master Zheng Er valued his children's studies and progress, otherwise, how could he, with his mild-mannered nature, act so efficiently?

Upon hastily returning to his residence, he inevitably suffered another round of Zhao Yiniang's crude nagging.

Although she didn't quite approve of Jia Huan leaving the mansion to go to school, she didn't dare to stop him since the master had given the order.

While helping Jia Huan change into his clothes for going out, she kept saying, "Be careful when you go out. I've already asked your uncle to make preparations!"

"When you leave the manor, your uncle will follow you around as a personal attendant!"

"Don't stand up for yourself if anything happens; let your uncle handle it!"

"Also, take this one or two taels of silver with you; you might need it at the clan school!"

Jia Huan nodded repeatedly in agreement, thinking to himself that when Aunt Zhao wasn't using foul language, her words and actions were quite pleasant.

Come to think of it, Aunt Zhao was a first-class maidservant by Grandmother Jia's side when she was young, how could she not have some ability?

Sure enough, Jia Huan's departure was arranged in a very orderly manner, with no major discrepancies.

However, as they talked, something unpleasant came to mind, and his originally gentle tone gradually turned sharp, while his expression began to subtly change.

"Auntie, I'm going to school!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Jia Huan grabbed the silver and ran away.

Sure enough, Zhao Yiniang's angry shouts came from behind, and she hurled insults like "ungrateful little brat" as if they were free.

They arrived at the second gate in a flash, where Cong-ge and his wet nurse had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go, let's hurry over there!"

Waving his hand, Jia Huan strode towards the side gate, reminding everyone as he went, "See me when we get to the clan school!"

Seeing the puzzled looks on Cong-ge'er's and his wet nurse's faces, he explained in a low voice, "I inquired beforehand, and the clan school is a bit chaotic!"

He wasn't lying; he really did ask Mingyan, the servant boy who served Jia Baoyu.

This young man was a year or two older than Jia Baoyu. He came from a respectable family and lived a better life than an unknown nobody like Jia Huan. Naturally, he was not cunning and was easy to find out information about.

Having explained some aspects of the clan's academic system, even if someone later suspects or inquires, they can find the source and won't be treated as a monster.

Congge nodded somewhat bewilderedly and followed them to the side gate.
