When Xiang Lianyu mentioned this, she couldn't help but reveal a disdainful smirk, clearly disapproving of Jia Baoyu's behavior and style of doing things.

Jia Huan also looked down on it, but he was quite angry inside!

He never expected that Jia Baoyu would resort to such a drastic measure in his anger; it was utterly despicable.

The other students in the clan school naturally didn't care, but Jia Huan couldn't help but care!

If the news gets back to the manor, the old lady and the second wife will be furious, and I'll probably be the one who suffers in the end. I guess Cong-ge and Lan-ge won't escape either.

Who told them all to attend the clan school!

In the hearts of the old lady and the second wife, they, the sons of the Rong family, naturally had to stand on Jia Baoyu's side, and even had to be Jia Baoyu's lackeys, otherwise how could they show the noble status of the phoenix egg?

Fortunately, the incident of smashing the jade did not happen, otherwise Jia Huan would have been in serious trouble!

Since you're being so disrespectful, Jia Huan naturally won't be polite to Jia Baoyu either.

He has many ways to teach Jia Baoyu a lesson. This time, he will definitely let him know what it means to reap what you sow. If he has the guts, he can go to the study and smash the jade!

Having learned the whole story, Jia Huan naturally wouldn't blame Xiang Lianyu for being too effeminate or for being friends with Qin Zhong. Instead, he offered her some comfort.

Tell them that if they want to be friends with Qin Zhong, they should be open and honest about it.

This is a clan school, so it's perfectly fine for classmates to be close, as long as they don't learn those shady things from outside.

As for whether Jia Baoyu will lose his temper again, he probably won't have the chance in the future.

After saying that, he ignored the bewildered Xiang Lianyu and Ai, and also paid no attention to Li Gui, the hesitant servant not far away, and turned to leave the clan school and return to the Rong Mansion.

When Master Zheng left the yamen early as usual, Jia Huan went into the study with him.

"Master, Brother Bao caused a huge scene at the clan school today!"

Seeing that the Second Master had drunk half a cup of tea, Jia Huan suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, why is that bastard causing such a ruckus?"

Master Zheng was clearly in a good mood at this moment!

Otherwise, if I had heard Jia Baoyu causing trouble at the clan school in the past, my first reaction would have been to fly into a rage.

Without even asking why, he directly ordered his servants to arrest the person and punish them according to family law.

No matter what, let's beat them up first!

It's quite rare that he can still listen to the story calmly right now.

"Here's what happened: Brother Bao and Qin Zhong, the younger brother of Rong Ge's daughter-in-law from the East Mansion, are very close. They go to and from school together every day!"

"Bao Erge had something to do in the morning and didn't go to the clan school, so Qin Zhong took advantage of the afternoon self-study time to chat and laugh with the students in the clan school to show his closeness. Who knew that Bao Erge would see him just as he arrived!"

"Bao Erge, with his childlike nature, thought his friend Qin Zhong had betrayed him and caused a huge scene at the clan school's football field!"

As they were talking, I glanced at Master Zheng out of the corner of my eye and saw his brows slowly furrow.

"When the child heard the news, he rushed over to dissuade him, but Bao Erge said that the football field was affecting his studies!"

"Is the commotion over at the football field quite significant?"

The second master asked instinctively, "Won't this really affect the students in the classroom?"

This is blatant proof of favoritism.

Jia Huan remained calm and shook his head, saying, "Master, you're overthinking it. With the football field here, those students who aren't focused on their studies have a place to vent their energy!"

"Compared to making a ruckus in the classroom, it has less impact on students who are truly motivated to improve!"

He didn't hide anything; he had basically explained the situation of the clan school to Master Zheng Er beforehand.

Indeed, Master Zheng was quite knowledgeable about the clan school.

Although he was not entirely satisfied that most students had no interest in studying, he later came to a realization.

Studying and making progress depends on self-motivation and willingness; it cannot be forced.

If you have a brilliant plan, the students will find a way to overcome it!

Instead of wasting time and energy on wits and arguments, we should find ways to discover all the students' strengths. Confucianism also emphasizes "education for all."

After all, the Rong family was a family of military merit, so they were supportive of physical exercise.

The Second Master nodded slightly in approval, as he was aware of the situation at the clan school.

There are too many students who came in just to take advantage of others, and influenced by their parents, they have no interest in studying or making progress.

"I think that since Brother Bao is so eager to improve himself, we can't just leave him without showing any support!"

Jia Huan frankly stated, "The clan school has classes in the morning, and the afternoons are basically for self-study!"

"Master, would you mind if Brother Bao came to the study this afternoon to study?"

The Second Master Zheng was somewhat puzzled and said slowly, "What kind of logic is that?"

Running around is too much trouble. If Jia Baoyu gets tired, regardless of his own thoughts, the old lady and the second wife will definitely not agree.

"I know that Master has been searching for a renowned teacher to guide Brother Bao's studies!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I believe that given Brother Bao's current academic progress, there is no need for such a thing at the moment!"

Ignoring the sudden sharp look in Master Zheng's eyes, he continued, "Most of the retainers under you have the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the imperial examinations at the county level). Their talents are more than enough to guide Brother Bao right now!"

“Every afternoon, a guest with free time could give Bao Erge some pointers. What do you think, sir?”

Jia Huan said with a smile, "After you leave the office, sir, we can test you and keep track of your learning progress so we can develop a targeted teaching plan!"

"As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. With the help of your servants and gentlemen, surely you can help Second Brother Bao make rapid progress in his studies?"

"Once Bao Erge's studies have progressed to a certain level, we can try to find a famous teacher, or send Bao Erge to study at the Imperial Academy. It won't be too late then!"

Although Master Zheng knew that Jia Huan might have ill intentions, he looked quite satisfied.

He felt that Jia Huan's suggestion really hit the nail on the head, making the most of his advantages.

All of his retainers had at least the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations).

Many of them were old scholars who had failed the imperial examinations several times, and among them were a few successful candidates in the provincial examinations.

Given their abilities, they were indeed quite suitable to guide and instruct Jia Baoyu at this time.

The key is that together they can develop better teaching plans, and they can give guidance right here in the big study.

Even after he leaves his post, he can still actively participate in other activities. Just thinking about it makes Jia Baoyu's future seem bright.

"Great idea, let's do it!"

After thinking for a moment, the Second Master Zheng didn't waste any words and nodded in agreement.

Jia Huan grinned, thinking to himself, "Jia Baoyu, you're in for a rough time. You'll enjoy it from now on."

Seeing the Second Master's delighted expression, he decided to go all the way and said leisurely, "Master, if the Old Madam objects, then bring up the matter of Bao Er's disturbance at the clan school!"

“Brother Bao himself said that he wants to study hard and make progress, so we can’t stop him, can we?”

"Yes, you're right!"

Master Zheng's eyes almost lit up, and his gaze toward Jia Huan was full of admiration.

When it comes to disciplining Jia Baoyu, what troubles him most is the interference of the old lady.

In short, because of this matter, Master Zheng Er lost patience with teaching Jia Baoyu and even became somewhat disheartened.

But now that Jia Huan has provided a solution, that would be perfect.

Jia Huan smiled gently, stood up, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

This time, if Jia Baoyu doesn't suffer a great loss, he can only dream of escaping unscathed from the main study.

That evening at dinner, Aunt Zhao, who was well-informed, gleefully reported the news about Jia Baoyu: Master Zheng had acted swiftly and had already notified Jia Baoyu.

Starting tomorrow, Jia Baoyu will attend classes at the clan school in the morning and return to the mansion to study in the main study in the afternoon.

According to Aunt Zhao's account, Jia Baoyu was caught off guard and burst into tears on the spot.

The old lady and the second wife were naturally alarmed, but this time the second master's attitude was firm, and they had no choice but to tell Jia Baoyu to behave himself.

According to Aunt Zhao's envious tone, Jia Baoyu is truly unaware of his good fortune!

The master has put a great deal of effort into his studies.

This time, it was just that he was allowed to study in the main study in the afternoon and receive instruction from a group of scholars and gentlemen, as well as the master himself. Such an opportunity was extremely rare.

If she hadn't known it was impossible, she would have recommended Jia Huan to go and enjoy such an education.

It's clear that Aunt Zhao was genuinely envious; she wasn't being sarcastic.

Jia Huan was somewhat amused and exasperated, but didn't say anything more.

If Master Zheng Er allowed him to freely browse books in the main study, he would not have any objection. Indeed, as Aunt Zhao said, it was a rare opportunity.

Unfortunately, the Second Master Zheng clearly showed favoritism and didn't show any sign of it!

From then on, Jia Baoyu became completely obedient!

Not only was he listless at the clan school, but he also returned home feeling lethargic and listless.
