Dream of the Red Chamber: Starting from Immortal Martial Arts

In the courtyard, Lin Daiyu was initially puzzled when she heard Jia Tang's instructions, but when she saw the bewildered Xichun, she immediately understood and a genuine smile appeared on her face.

When Zijuan first urged him to cultivate at Rongfu, he often wanted to slack off. But recently, as he cultivated seriously and gradually felt the changes in himself, he also had the idea of ​​having the three sisters cultivate together.

Zijuan had inquired and learned that the Rong family had run out of resources and had stopped training its members.

Although things have improved now, she is only staying at the Rong Mansion as a guest, and the resources for her cultivation are still provided by the Ning Mansion. Since Jia Tang is not here, she cannot ask Grandmother Jia for help.

He had planned to ask Jia Tang for help when he was in a good mood, but he never expected that he himself would have the same idea.

So she stopped her swordplay, slowly exhaled to calm herself, and then gracefully came to Xichun's side, pinched her little face, and said with a smile, "Your brother is planning to teach you cultivation, so you won't be able to sleep in anymore."

Xi Chun was taken aback upon hearing this, then overjoyed, and abruptly turned to look at Jia Tang.

"Brother, can I cultivate too?"

Jia Tang nodded with a smile: "Back then, resources in the manor were scarce, and they were all prioritized for my needs. Now it's time for you sisters to start your cultivation."

"Haha~"

Xi Chun laughed excitedly, then suddenly headbutted Jia Tang and threw herself into his arms, laughing as tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Jia Tang coaxed Xi Chun again until she stopped crying.

Just as they had finished comforting the baby, the second and third sisters came into the courtyard. Upon hearing the news, they were overjoyed and wept tears of joy.

Jia Tang, at a loss, tried to appease everyone, and even pulled over the smiling Lin Daiyu to join in the commotion.

No wonder they lost control of their emotions; in this world of cultivation, who doesn't want to cultivate?

However, their upbringing from a young age prevented them from actively asking the household for things; they would only passively wait for arrangements.

Moreover, even during the peak of the family's past, Jia Min, a third-generation descendant, was not allowed to practice martial arts; he could only pursue literature.

But literature and Taoism are very mysterious, and one must understand the principles at every turn. How can they, who are raised in seclusion, enter the Tao?

Now that Jia Tang has allowed him to practice martial arts, he is overjoyed and ecstatic.

So, in the days that followed, Jia Tang either went to the Beijing garrison to train soldiers or stayed in the mansion to raise Lin Daiyu and the three sisters.

They also picked up Jia Cong and Jia Huan, and just like the other members of the collateral branches, threw them into a manor outside the city to train in martial arts.

Whether they take the unified resource supply seriously, or whether they succeed or fail, is up to them.

...

In mid-July, the troops that had quelled the rebellion twice returned home.

At the court meeting, Emperor Changwu was overjoyed and bestowed titles and honors upon everyone. Only Prince Teng, who was in an awkward position, was promoted to the position of Inspector of the Nine Garrisons, which was a purely nominal post.

With his abilities, he couldn't even integrate the Beijing Garrison, yet he wants to go to the Capital Garrison Border Army?

After the court session, Marquis Baoling insisted on hosting a banquet for everyone at Zuixian Pavilion.

"I am very grateful to Yu Yin for his guidance, otherwise this task would not have fallen to me."

Inside compartment number one, Shi Nai, with a ruddy complexion, held a bowl of wine, grinned widely to thank Jia Tang, and then tilted his head back to drink the wine in one gulp.

Upon returning from suppressing the rebellion, Shi Nai was promoted by Emperor Changwu to the military rank of Xuanfu Youji. Although he was only a fourth-rank military officer and did not reach the level of a general, eight years had passed since his dismissal, and he had finally regained his military power.

Furthermore, his superior, the General of Xuanfu Town, came from the Dong family of the border army, who were old subordinates of the Jia family and had been following the Jia family generals since the founding of the country.

With his own external strength cultivation and his connection with Grandmother Jia, how could he possibly endure being mistreated?

Immediately afterward, Xie Jing, who had been promoted to the rank of third-class sergeant for killing a general in battle, Jiang Zining, who had been promoted to the rank of first-class baron, and Qi Jianhui, who had been promoted to commander, also got up and downed their wine bowls in large gulps.

Jia Tang smiled and got up to serve a bowl, teasingly saying, "This isn't enough, Uncle Niu and the others are getting angry. It wouldn't be right if we didn't drink a whole jar."

Niu Jizong laughed and scolded in a cheerful mood, "Get lost! None of us said a word. If you want to drink, then drink with them."

As they were talking, Shi Nai, Xie Jing, Jiang Zining, and Qi Jianhui picked up their wine bowls and downed three large bowls in one go. Chen Ruiwen and Ma Shang cheered and drank down their wine together.

After laughing and drinking a bowl, Old Niu, Old Liu, and Old Hou said to their son, "Hurry up and help your old man fend off the drinks. Can't you see these guys are forcing you to drink?"

Niu Chengxian, Liu He, and Hou Zunqi stood up with helpless expressions and joined Shi Nai and the other three in drinking. Xie Yun'e, Jiang Shuquan, Shi Nai's eldest son Shi Xiangyue, and Qi Jianhui's eldest son Qi Yunting also hurriedly helped their fathers carry the wine. Chen Chong and Ma Yong also joined in, and in the end, it turned into a drinking contest between the nine of them.

Seeing this, Jia Tang shook his head and chuckled. He pulled Qiu Liang, who was both distressed and envious, aside and advised, "Uncle Qiu, you are the only army we have in Xianjing City besides the personal guards in the mansion. You cannot act rashly. You can only be transferred out after someone below takes your place."

Qiu Liang glared at him and muttered, "Our whole family has been screwed over by those old geezers in your household. They promised to arrange a position for us to lead troops in battle within the capital city, but it turns out we're in the Five Cities Military Command, dealing with petty theft and other trivial matters all day long."

"What a damn injustice! You old bastards from the Jia family are all black-hearted."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. After a while, Niu Jizong looked at Shi Ding, who was filled with envy, and whispered to Jia Tang beside him, "Look, there's one more."

Since the Battle of Zhuyu Bay, the power of the eight prefectures of Xianjing and the founding army has gradually shifted to Jia Tang, who now dominates all affairs.

If he doesn't speak up, no one will step forward to help the Jia family's in-laws. Besides, in-laws alone are not enough; they must be capable of standing together through thick and thin.

The Wang family serves as a cautionary tale; those who are fickle and indecisive will inevitably face disaster.

Jia Tang glanced at it, his smile unchanged, and said softly, "No rush, there will always be an opportunity."

Jia Tang would definitely help those who genuinely wanted to help him and were on his side whenever he had the chance.

However, there are many conflicting opinions about Shi Ding from his previous life, and his title was Zhongjing, so we can only wait and see.

Zhongjing, Zhongjing, things are so complicated and unclear.

Niu Jizong nodded knowingly, then suddenly asked, "Are you sure you're secretly sending a second-tier expert to Liaodong?"

"They will definitely have to send them. This old servant must be on guard, but also cannot underestimate them."

Niu Jizong was somewhat puzzled: "Does he dare to break the agreement? He has several major repairmen with him."

"Possibly."

Jia Tang nodded. Judging from the course of events in the previous life, once the other side had accumulated enough power, it was inevitable that they would send troops. At that time, it might not be a matter of the second tier anymore.

Niu Jizong felt a chill run down his spine and quietly elevated the old servant's threatening status to a new level.

In the days that followed, Jia Tang would leave the capital every few days to hunt beasts and suppress bandits in various places, engaging in constant battles, and all kinds of beasts and bandits suffered.

In addition to training at the main camp, the others would occasionally dine at Daiyu's courtyard and spend their evenings entwined with the two maids. Under Jia Tang's careful nurturing, Qingwen and Amber were like ripe peaches, exuding an alluring fragrance.
