Dream of the Red Chamber: Starting from Immortal Martial Arts

"Or eat it..."

As Qingwen spoke, she recalled the mischievous acts of Jia Tang, and her delicate body trembled with embarrassment. Her face turned bright red, and she covered her face, shrinking into the quilt and remaining silent.

Jia Tang listened to Qingwen's conversation with Amber without saying a word, pondering the differences between the two.

Qingwen is a stubborn person. Even when she is exhausted from the battle, she will look at you with her bright eyes full of love until she can't take it anymore and rolls her eyes. Hu Po is an introverted person. She will tense up, close her eyes, and even her cries will be soft.

Thinking this, his hands didn't stop, gently stroking the two women's smooth backs, and the three of them enjoyed the quiet time together.

As dusk fell, the three of them got out of bed, washed up, and headed towards the west mansion.

Jia Tang took the lead, followed by Qingwen, who watched with a smile as Amber, who was walking unsteadily with her hair tied up, walked behind him.

In feudal dynasties, a woman's hairstyle was the most telling indicator of her marital status.

After entering through the side gate, Amber, her face flushed, followed Jia Tang closely, head bowed, to the astonished gazes of the servants.

Jia Tang first went to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects to Grandmother Jia. After chatting for a while, Grandmother Jia left Amber behind, dismissed Jia Tang and Qingwen, and then waved away all the maids and servants, leaving only Yuanyang by her side.

Looking at Amber, whose eyes sparkled with a hint of allure, Grandmother Jia asked with a smile, "Has Yu Yin taken you as a concubine?"

Amber lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

"Alright, alright, but you can't have any children now, do you understand?"

Amber nodded and repeated what Qingwen had said. Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia beamed and promised, "Qingwen is a well-mannered person, and you are good too. Serve Yuyin diligently, and you will surely enjoy wealth and honor in the future, understand?"

Amber responded with a broad smile.

"From now on, double your monthly allowance. Alright, go find Yu Yin. This old woman is all set."

Daiyu's Courtyard

Lin Daiyu was still wondering why Qingwen and Amber were still nowhere to be seen at 5 PM, until she heard Zijuan say that Jia Tang had already returned to the mansion. Instantly, she forgot about the two maids and kept looking out of the courtyard.

It's been quite a while since we last met, and I'm really missing you.

As Jia Tang entered the courtyard, he immediately saw a small head inside the house suddenly shrink back, shake his head and chuckle, before stepping into the hall.

He first went to the inner room to offer incense, and when he came out, he looked at Lin Daiyu, whose face had become a little thinner, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The lines of her oval face are more defined than before, and her complexion is rosy, so it doesn't seem like she's been lacking nutrition.

Jia Tang asked Zijuan, "Why does your young lady look thinner? Has she not been taking good care of you?"

Zijuan met Jia Tang's unfriendly gaze and trembled with fear. She hurriedly replied, "Master Yu, since you left the capital, our young lady has been practicing martial arts for two hours every morning and two hours every afternoon. She has never missed a meal, and General Jia Kang often sends her spirit beasts and powerful medicines to nourish her."

"We also use the Golden Skin Cream and Vitality Tonic in the manor to apply to the young lady's baths, but even so, she is getting thinner and thinner, which makes the maids very anxious."

"Alright, brother, it has nothing to do with Zijuan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt a warm current flow through her heart, knowing that Jia Tang was afraid that she had been wronged, but she still quickly stepped forward and pulled Zijuan behind her.

"It's probably because you've been practicing too frequently. Your sister should rest for a couple of days."

Jia Tang carefully examined the beautiful woman before him and found that she was indeed in good spirits, which put his mind at ease.

"Is my sister feeling unwell? Should we summon the imperial physician?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head: "I'm not feeling unwell, why call the imperial physician?"

"That's good."

Seeing this, Jia Tang reached out and grabbed Lin Daiyu's small hand, squeezing it gently. He secretly examined it carefully and found that there was a golden glow flowing on her skin, and that her body was not deficient. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He instructed, "The matter of martial arts training should be approached slowly and steadily. Do not be impatient or hasty, for haste makes waste."

Lin Daiyu blushed deeply, lowered her eyes, and softly agreed.

"I'll listen to my brother."

Just as Jia Tang was about to speak again, he caught sight of the petite and adorable Xi Chun, who was standing with her arms crossed in a huff. His lips twitched, and he stepped forward to pinch the little girl's cheek: "Isn't this the goddess I fear most? What are you doing here?"

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the girls around her, Xichun huffed, "Ever since you left, I've been living with Sister Lin."

She sighed and said dejectedly, "I never thought my brother wouldn't even notice his little sister anymore."

"Pah, you little brat, you're mimicking me. That just shows you're as bad as Feng."

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly, laughed and scolded, and went forward to playfully fight with Xichun.

Jia Tang did not stop them, and summoned several maids to begin setting out the meal.

Amidst the playful banter, Lin Daiyu noticed Amber, whose steps were somewhat unsteady and whose hair was styled in a bun, and her smile faded slightly.

Amber glanced nervously at Jia Tang, who was nodding with a smile, then respectfully curtsied to Lin Daiyu before helping Qingwen and the others set out the food.

A moment later, after everyone finished their meal, while the maids were clearing away the dishes, Lin Daiyu pulled Jia Tang into the inner room, took out a jade box from under her pillow, and handed the flag to Jia Tang.

Jia Tang waved his hand and said, "This is fine with me, I don't need it."

Before Lin Daiyu could say anything, he stepped forward and pinched her delicate, smooth face: "It's getting late, sister, you should rest early."

After saying this, he left the inner room, leading the two maids away.

From afar, one could still hear Lin Daiyu's cursing voice behind them: "You shameless bastard!"

···

The next morning, after having breakfast, Jia Tang led his maid to Daiyu's courtyard to guide Lin Daiyu in her cultivation practice.

Watching Lin Daiyu tuck her hair into her hair and move gracefully with her swordplay, her agile and nimble figure was far from the sickly and delicate woman he had seen before, which truly delighted him.

Just as Jia Tang was feeling happy, he suddenly noticed his younger sister Xichun sitting on the veranda in the courtyard, looking at Lin Daiyu with envy. His heart sank.

Oh right, I forgot about the Three Springs Cultivation.

After awakening his innate wisdom, he only thought about integrating the resources within the manor to cultivate himself and his family's generals, and to train the Tiger Guard soldiers. Although Qingwen was also capable of cultivation, she only occasionally gave him guidance.

All he did was use the resources within the two government offices to support himself and those around him.

Later, the cultivation of the Jia family's collateral branches was merely a way to have more people who would work hard for them.

Children born out of wedlock in the mansion could not always show their faces in public like they did, which led to them being neglected in matters of cultivation.

Now that everything is back on track, it's time to get this under control.

As for cultivation methods, whether it's the Gengjin Secret Manual, the Dinghuo Secret Manual, the Taiyin Sword Manual, or any method found in the secret realm, they can all be cultivated.

Besides his own "Western Sacred Heavenly Chapter", he had a variety of other works to choose from.

Thinking this, Jia Tang called out towards the outside of the courtyard, "Jia An, go and call my second and third sisters here."

"only!"

"Jia He, go to the treasury and fetch three portions of the resources needed for leather refining."

"only!"
