In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Jia Lang has been doing missions for so long that he has accumulated a lot of skills. Now in the world of Dream of Red Mansions, the most useful skill, apart from the calligraphy he obtained from Yixiu, is this fighting skill.

Other skills like Huanbi's crow's mouth, Gao Xiyue's pipa, An Lingrong's embroidery and so on are of no use now. Xiao Qinshi's skill is the most interesting, the white lotus skill. This may be used later, but it is of no use now.

Maybe next time I can choose the martial arts world to see if I can get some martial arts secrets.

Five years have passed, and Jia Lang's predictive skill has been upgraded to the point where he can predict tomorrow's events once a day without a cooldown. Jia Lang would try to predict the future when he has nothing to do. Although it is not very useful, it is still very reliable as a weather forecast.

In the past few years, Jia Lang did not make dreams for Jia She and Jia Mu as often as before. After all, too much talk leads to mistakes, and too many dreams are prone to errors. Gradually, the dreamer will become numb and lose his awe of the hints of dreams.

Before Jia Baoyu was born, Jia Lang once tentatively tried to create a dream for Jia's mother. The content of the dream was that Jia Baoyu's biological mother, the Second Wife, wanted Jia Baoyu to have a good omen like his sister. She specially selected a piece of jade and stuffed it into the mouth of the newborn Jia Baoyu, falsely claiming that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth.

What happened next was that Jia Baoyu became famous, and because of the jade he was noticed by the royal family. The royal family was afraid that Jia Baoyu might have some great fortune in the future, so they asked the Jia family to hand over the jade. The Jia family had no choice but to hand it over, but they didn't expect that without the jade, Jia Baoyu would cry incessantly, gradually become dull, and finally become stupid.

After waking up from the dream, Jia's grandmother kept an eye on the second wife and repeatedly warned her not to make a wrong decision and harm the Jia family. When Jia Baoyu was born, the second wife's servants came to report the miraculous news that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth. Jia's grandmother was so shocked that she almost fainted.

Grandmother Jia really didn't expect that after taking all kinds of precautions, she saw that there was no movement from Wang's place, but she still couldn't prevent it. For this reason, Grandmother Jia managed to hold on and not faint, and quickly tried to find a solution.

Wang, this idiot, is really crazy!

Now the matter has spread just as it had in his dream, and it cannot be stopped. It would be better to let everyone know openly and spread the rumor secretly that this was done by the women in the inner court to compete for favor.

It has to be said that although Grandmother Jia is old, her mind is still young and she works very quickly. Jia Lang specially created this dream for her. It seems that it did not change any plot, but in fact it made Grandmother Jia really believe that Jia Baoyu was a fake Baoyu.

Only in this way will Grandmother Jia not really regard Jia Baoyu as the hope that can save the Jia family as she did in her previous life. Jia Lang does not mind Grandmother Jia doting on Jia Baoyu as she does in the plot, but she does not want Grandmother Jia to value Jia Baoyu as she does in the plot and regard him as her lifeblood.

In this life, Grandmother Jia can only regard herself, Jia Lang, as the hope of the Jia family, and she must obtain the actual benefits beyond Grandmother Jia's favor.

Things developed as Jia Lang expected. Not long after, Jia Zhu got married and Jia Lan was born. In the past few years, the Jia family has had several younger generations, including Jia Baoyu, Jia Tanchun, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Zong. This made Jia's mother believe more and more that all this was caused by Jia Lang.

Yes, Jia Lang. In Jia's mother's view, before Jia Lang was born, there was no young person born in the entire Jia family for ten years. After Jia Lang was born, Jia Baoyu was born in less than two years, and then Jia Tanchun and others. How could Jia's mother not believe that everything was caused by Jia Lang?

It's just that after what happened to Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother was frightened, so she deliberately ignored Jinling, wanting everyone in the capital to think that she had taken a fancy to Jia Baoyu and wanted to use him to cover up Jia Lang. Except for Yuanyang, the head maid who followed Jia's mother every day, and Lai Ma, her confidante who had been with her for decades, no one else knew about this. They all thought that Jia Baoyu was loved and adopted by Jia's mother because of the jade.

The Second Wife hated this very much, but in this society filial piety is the most important thing. Once Lady Jia becomes tough, she will not be able to win over her at all.

The first wife was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the second wife had four more children at once, including one of the younger ones. Jia She, in particular, was always thinking about Jia Lang who was far away in Jinling. When he saw that the second wife's eldest grandson Jia Lan was born, he became even more dissatisfied.

The second son's family lives on the territory of the eldest son and manages the eldest son's family. Now, the eldest grandson has been born, while he, as the real heir to the title, can only be subordinate to Ma Peng. The eldest son has not married, the second son is raised in Jinling, and the youngest son is still young and cannot even speak.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

In such an atmosphere, the antagonism between the first and second wives in the Jia family became increasingly obvious, and even Jia Lian, who was already engaged to Wang Xifeng, felt a little uncomfortable.

He had originally thought that after he married the second wife's niece, the relationship between the first and second wives would be eased. But now that Jia Lian had the mentality of a master, he suddenly felt uncomfortable when he saw that the second wife's heirs had the upper hand in terms of number in the mansion.

Previously, the first wife had a son, and in order to prevent the first wife from suppressing the second wife, the first wife's son was sent back to Jinling. Now the second wife not only has one more legitimate son than the first wife, but also one more concubine's daughter. Together with the existing Jia Yuanchun and the next generation Jia Lan, the second wife suddenly has four more heirs than the first wife!

All the food, clothing and other expenses of the Jia family's descendants are paid from the public treasury. According to the rules, seven-tenths of the public treasury's property belongs to the first wife, and only three-tenths to the second wife. With this calculation, it is simply that the first wife's money is used to support the second wife's descendants.

Jia Lian thought so, so he couldn't help but say the same thing when he met Jia She. After listening to Jia Lian's words, Jia She also realized the problem, and he was also unhappy. Why could his son only get such a small share of the public fortune to go to Jinling, while the illegitimate sons and daughters of the second house enjoyed such good treatment?

Jia She was unhappy, so he naturally made a scene. Jia Baoyu's food and clothing were even more extravagant than Jia Lian's, and Jia She found evidence against him and severely slapped the Second Wife, the housekeeper, in the face.

In order to calm the situation and because of her own hidden agenda, Grandmother Jia naturally agreed with Jia She and suggested sending the public subsidy to Jinling. In this way, Jia Lang inexplicably received money from the Jia family again.

Not long after, Jia Yuanchun, who was eighteen years old, quietly entered the palace and became a female official. Since she was fifteen years old, Jia Yuanchun had been waiting for the palace to select her, but there was no news. Seeing that Jia Yuanchun was too old, the Jia family had no choice but to find the Empress of the Zhen family, wanting to marry Jia Yuanchun to the fourth prince born to Concubine Zhen. Fortunately, Concubine Zhen agreed, saying that Jia Yuanchun would first enter the palace to be a female official for a period of time, and then find a title to give to the fourth prince.

Soon Jia Lang was seven years old and could go to elementary school, but bad news came from the Jia Mansion in the capital. At the beginning of this year, the eldest son of the second wife, Jia Zhu, passed away. After the results of the autumn examination last year, Jia Zhu's health had been a little unwell. Unexpectedly, after the results of the autumn examination came out, Jia Zhu did not pass. He was so shocked that he vomited blood. The second wife invited an imperial physician to see him, and gave him ginseng soup every day to keep him alive. It seemed that it was about to take effect, but who would have thought that after a spring cold, Jia Zhu was gone.

The Jia family was suddenly plunged into endless sorrow, and even the people in the first house could not help but sigh over Jia Zhu's death.
