The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

It's truly awe-inspiring!

The two renowned doctors from the capital didn't suffer much in prison. However, their spirits and energy were severely damaged, and they looked quite dejected.

They were naturally extremely grateful for Jia Huan's timely help.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Jia Huan hadn't intervened, both doctors and their families would have been exiled thousands of miles away.

Given the harsh conditions during the exile, it's safe to say that the young children and elderly people probably wouldn't have survived.

They weren't heroes from the Water Margin; they treated exile like a vacation.

They brought the people to the small martial arts school, allowing the two doctors to reunite with their families first.

After calming down, Jia Huan explained the terms to them.

Indeed, he didn't say anything like "admiration" or any other nonsense, as the other party, who had just suffered a great calamity, wouldn't believe it anyway. He decided to be more practical.

He made it very clear that he wanted to learn medicine from the two doctors!

At the very least, one must learn to the point where they can make house calls.

I don't insist on the two doctors having their family's secret techniques. The reason I went to such lengths is that I don't have any connections in the medical field and I don't trust other doctors.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, the physician Hu who cured You Erjie to death had already made his debut.

Moreover, this guy values ​​money, so as long as you're willing to spend money, you can get his guidance.

But can Jia Huan learn from him?

What are we supposed to learn? How to administer drastic measures? That's utter nonsense!

As expected, Jia Huan made his point clear, and the two renowned doctors, who had just escaped a great calamity and were released from prison, relaxed and readily agreed to the terms.

It was simply an exchange of benefits. They taught Jia Huan and the Jia clan school students who were willing to study medicine, while Jia Huan ensured a stable life for them and their families, since they were still prisoners and servants.

Seeing that the two doctors were so understanding, Jia Huan decided to go all the way and see it through to the end.

He made it clear that as long as the two doctors taught them diligently, their families would naturally live a stable and decent life, and that they might even be granted their freedom when the emperor granted a general amnesty.

Sure enough, this potent medicine had a remarkably noticeable effect!

Just by looking at the sudden brightening of the two doctors' eyes and the expectant expressions on their family members' faces, they understood everything; Jia Huan's promise was exactly what they wanted.

Come to think of it, before their misfortunes, thanks to the two doctors' superb medical skills, they and their families lived quite comfortably, and had even entered the ranks of the wealthy.

The people who frequented the area were either scholars or officials of a certain rank, which broadened their horizons.

Although I was in a terrible mood after suddenly encountering misfortune, I was still not truly suffering, so I still had a bit of pride, which is undeniable.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to willingly become servants, to serve in place of their master in the future, and to become servants and doctors under Jia Huan.

Anyone with real ability would never accept such an outcome.

Even if you start out with gratitude and do your best out of kindness, your mindset will inevitably change over time.

Although Jia Huan's understanding of human nature was not thorough, he knew that some things could not be forced.

His real purpose was simply to learn basic medical skills. It would be even better if he could go further on that foundation, but there was no need to push himself too hard.

Besides, it's still very beneficial to befriend two doctors whose medical skills are widely recognized, as well as their descendants who have inherited good medical knowledge. At least you won't be like a headless fly when you need to find a doctor in the future.

After settling the two doctors in and discussing the details of his medical studies, Jia Huan leisurely went to the clan school.

Unexpectedly, I actually ran into Jia Qiang!

"Qiang-ge'er, why aren't you at the Ning residence looking after Rong-ge'er? What are you doing at the clan school?"

He laughed and joked, then walked over and sat down in the chair opposite the guy.

The football field not far away was still bustling with activity, seemingly unaffected by what happened at the Ning residence.

Sure enough, school children rarely have any worries.

"Don't mention it!"

Jia Qiang was filled with frustration, and a hint of bitterness appeared on her face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's.

"Ever since Rong-ge'er was carried back, I've been getting scolded along with him, and I really can't take it anymore!"

He said this in a somewhat annoyed tone; young people can be quite impulsive.

Although she was raised by Jia Zhen, she was clearly not raised to be a complete lapdog.

"Speaking of which, when Rong-ge went out to cause trouble for Ma Yuan's youngest son last night, you didn't go with him? That's very strange!"

Jia Huancai was too lazy to listen to this guy's ramblings and went straight to asking about things that interested him.

According to the information I got from Sister-in-law You, Jia Qiang was not among them.

It's not that Qiang-ge'er and Jia Rong have an extremely good relationship; they're practically inseparable.

It's really strange that Jia Qiang didn't actively get involved in such a big event.

Upon hearing this, Jia Qiang merely chuckled without replying, but the smugness in his expression was unmistakable.

Jia Huan immediately realized what was going on and chuckled, "You little rascal, did you never think Rong-ge'er could succeed in the first place? Did you simply find a chance not to go and join the fun, or rather, to get beaten up?"

"Don't put it so harshly, as if I'm some kind of cunning strategist!"

Jia Qiang waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile, "I do know Rong-ge'er well, and I knew that there might be some twists and turns when he went out to do business, but I never expected it to end like this!"

At this point, he couldn't help but smile wryly, "I've also asked the guards who are with him, and I didn't expect that the thugs around Ma Yuan's youngest son would be so formidable?"

"Does the Ning residence have a stronger guard force?"

Jia Huan asked curiously, "The men Rong-ge'er is with must be quite strong!"

"Of course there are, but there aren't many in the manor!"

Jia Qiang didn't hide anything and said calmly, "Most of the truly powerful guys are holed up in the manors outside the city. They are all descendants of the personal guards left by our ancestors!"

That is for sure!

The Rong family was in the same situation; all the guards and their descendants were holed up on the estate.

They would never normally use it, and when they did, it was usually because the family was facing a life-or-death crisis. Otherwise, once exposed, the court would not pretend it didn't exist.

Last time, it was only when the Second Master Zheng needed help at the Court of Imperial Stud that he mobilized some of his personal guards, who were skilled in raising horses, to help, and even promised them official positions.

With the help of these people, Master Zheng Er quickly gained a foothold in the Court of Imperial Stud and even acquired a certain degree of influence, which was no easy feat.

These guys are the last military force protecting the Ning and Rong families!

I believe that the other founding noble families were in a similar situation!

Therefore, nothing can happen to the large estate outside the city, otherwise how will the government support this last batch of armed forces?

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, this group of people never appeared in the end.

It is estimated that as the two governments rapidly declined, they no longer had the resources to support them.

Without money and food, what's the point of talking about military support?

"So what are you planning to do? You can't keep going back to the clan school all the time!"

Jia Huan changed the subject, teasingly saying, "How about I send some people from the martial arts school over to protect your personal safety?"

"That won't be of any use!"

Jia Qiang resolutely refused, saying helplessly, "So what if I get scolded? Anyway, Rong-ge'er is with me, it's no big deal!"

"Once the master focuses his attention on the outside world and starts fighting with the Ma family, things will get better!"

"Let's wait and see, and hopefully it will turn out well!"

Jia Huan smiled slightly and said nothing more.

However, out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see Qin Zhong sneaking out of the teaching building.

Judging from his posture, he was clearly attracted by the excitement on the football field and did not realize that Jia Huan had noticed him.

Looking at the sidelines of the football field, Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, these two increasingly effeminate guys, were unusually watching the excitement from the sidelines.

A thought flashed through her mind: she hoped Qin Zhong would behave himself and not approach her uninvited. Maintaining the peace of the clan school was hard-won; he would be unhappy if it were disrupted.

Just as he feared, Qin Zhong, being hesitant and looking back every few steps, made his way to the edge of the football field, where he happened to stand not far from Xiang Lianyu.

While secretly observing the lively match on the football field, he also couldn't help but stare at Xiang Lian and Yu Ai.

It seemed that he was quite interested in getting to know these two classmates. He paced back and forth as if his feet were boiling, but he didn't dare to get too close.

In early summer, the afternoon sun can be quite intense.

In no time, the boy was drenched in sweat, his face flushed, and he was finding it unbearably hot.

Just then, Jia Baoyu came out of the classroom, looking around anxiously and calling out the name "Jingqing," clearly very worried about her.

Qin Zhong dared not linger by the football field any longer. He stared intently at Xiang Lianyu Ai not far away, then hurriedly walked towards the teaching building, responding to her calls a few times.

This scene made Jia Huan's lips twitch, and he felt quite displeased.

Damn it, Qin Zhong is no pushover after all. Jia Baoyu is still so enthusiastically around him, and this guy's already trying to get close to another classmate. Has he even considered Jia Baoyu's feelings?

It seems that Xiang Lian and Yu Ai should stay away from the clan school as much as possible, otherwise, if a scandal breaks out in the future, it will be hard to explain.

Fortunately, Jia Qiang didn't notice and went off to the football field to work up a sweat, otherwise it would have been another problem. This kid can be quite a handful when he gets going.

As expected, things turned out exactly as predicted!
