Chapter 3, Lin Daiyu Enters the Jia Mansion

Jia Baoyu was naturally left in a daze; he had a somewhat foolish nature, and the original owner was an absolute simpleton. With the merging of the two souls, it was impossible for him not to be dazed.

As Jia Baoyu just arrived at the entrance of the front hall, he happened to hear a voice that was remarkably similar to the unique, charming tone of a Taiwanese girl, reminiscent of Lin Chi-ling's voice in the newly released film "Red Cliff": Mengmeng, stand up, stand up

What a beautiful and charming person! Although her personality is a bit fiery, Jia Baoyu has his opinions. However, cousin Jia Lian is quite fortunate as well; to win over someone like her must be a great sense of achievement.

It is a pity that Wang Xifeng was born at the wrong time. If she had lived in modern times, winning an Oscar would have been a certainty, and at the very least, she could have become an international superstar in Hollywood. Living in her time is truly a waste of talent, which deeply pains Jia Baoyu.

There is something fishy! Jia Baoyu's eyes rolled as he watched Colorful Clouds and Jin Chuan'er gradually walk away, their words reaching his ears without missing a single syllable. Is it possible that it is Jia Huan, the son of his father Jia Zheng and his concubine Zhao Yiniang?

Lofty, indeed lofty, one gazes up at the towering mountains

It is truly remarkable that such a person exists in this world; today I have finally seen her. I must say, Lin Mei Mei does not resemble the granddaughter of our ancestor, but rather seems like a legitimate granddaughter. No wonder our ancestor speaks of her daily and keeps her in mind.

The original Jia Baoyu, being frail and sickly, had only one soul left of the three souls and one spirit left of the seven spirits, which allowed him to be reborn through possession

"What does it matter? There is food, drink, and tips; isn't that a good thing?" Jia Baoyu thought carelessly. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, so poor that he didn't even have a pair of underpants to wear. Up to this point in this life, it has already been a tremendous blessing from heaven.

"Pah! What a universe and life, the second master is truly shameless." Colorfulclouds spat lightly, laughing as she pulled Jin Chuan'er aside, her expression suddenly turning cold as she said, "Sister Chuan'er, it is better for us to avoid the second master. Otherwise, if the lady and the old lady see us, what kind of decorum would that be? We would end up in a situation we cannot handle."

Ah! Jin Chuan'er turned pale with anxiety, covering Colorful Clouds' mouth with both hands. After a while, she scolded with a smile, "Good sister, how can you say such a thing? We are the lady's maids; if the lady hears this, we might as well not live anymore. In the capital, there are two kings: one is the notorious troublemaker, Master Bao Er, and the other is the foolish tyrant, Master Xue Pan. Now, do you understand?"

Sister, your words are mistaken. Jin Chuan'er shook her head, and seeing that Jia Baoyu had not followed, she straightened her chest and said: "Who in the capital does not know the two kings? Who is not aware? Although Second Master is a bit soft in temperament, it is precisely because of this that the people in the residence enjoy interacting with him"

Truly unbearable, really unbearable, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you to the point of losing my mind... With both hands behind his back, Jia Baoyu hummed a little tune, striding with a swagger, holding his head high and chest out as he walked through the willow trees, attracting the attention of every passerby; there was no helping it, he was just too handsome, always the center of attention.

Ah! Colorful Clouds looked around and seemed to realize that Jin Chuan'er was right. She said apologetically, "Good sister, I was wrong. I should not have been angry because of Lord Huan. Please forgive me."

What the heck! I actually got flirted with by a beautiful woman? This is outrageous! It’s truly a turn of events! Jia Baoyu, feeling indignant, rubbed his hands together and shamelessly leaned closer to colorfulclouds, pouting and jokingly said: "Good sister, why not grant me a favor? Just look at this beautiful scenery, with flowers blooming and the moon full. If we all kiss each other, and chat about the universe and life, wouldn’t that be such a delightful and refreshing thing to do?"

As he walked back, Jia Baoyu was deep in thought. Today, when he visited Jia Zheng in the study, it was the first time he felt that being a second-generation rich person was not so easy after all. At the very least, the hurdle of family education was a difficult challenge.

Damn it, I am the legitimate son, while Jia Huan is the illegitimate one. Why does Colorful Clouds support Jia Huan? Logically, Colorful Clouds is the personal maid of my mother, Lady Wang, so she should be on my side. Could it be that I am not handsome enough? This is utterly unreasonable!

"That is, that is." Jin Chuan'er nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, hurriedly walking back while whispering, "However, Sister Colorfulclouds, the Second Master really has a soft temperament. In my opinion, among the people in the residence, aside from Granny Rong from the East Courtyard and this master, who could withstand our servants' teasing? Wouldn't they have been furious long ago? Hehe!"

In those years, he had already prepared to return home and wait for death in peace. However, while passing by the Great Wilderness Mountain, the Wujiyai Cliff, and the Qinggeng Peak, he encountered two robbers. Jia Baoyu steeled his heart, thinking that since he had nothing to live for, he would have no regrets in dying. Thus, he fought desperately with the two robbers, and they all fell off the cliff together

The Jia family maintains a culture of warmth and integrity, treating their servants with leniency and kindness. As a result, the young masters and mistresses, aside from formal occasions, generally mingle freely with the maids. Consequently, the servants here are notably different from those elsewhere, exhibiting a remarkable boldness, as exemplified by the young lady before us, colorfulclouds

Indeed, I am truly handsome! Why am I so handsome, you ask?" Jia Baoyu stroked his chin and chuckled, while narcissistically gazing at his reflection in the lake. There he saw a figure with distinct features, long hair tied back, a face like the full moon of mid-autumn, and a complexion like the flowers of spring dawn. He was undoubtedly a graceful young gentleman, an unparalleled beautiful youth. At this moment, the matter of colorful clouds had long been forgotten by him.

Who would have thought that the Great Wilderness Mountain, specifically the Wujia Cliff and the Qinggeng Peak, is the place where Nuwa dropped a piece of the stone used to mend the sky? It is said that Nuwa crafted a total of 36,501 pieces of sky-mending stones, and the last piece, which was not needed, was left here.

The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, yet it is merely close to dusk! Jia Baoyu, believing himself to be exceptionally handsome, casually tugged at the hair by his ear and, in a moment of poetic inspiration, spoke in a rather pretentious manner

Jia Baoyu was utterly impressed, thinking that this woman’s skill in flattery was almost on par with one percent of his own. As soon as he entered the front hall, his gaze was fixed on this woman. He noticed her slender figure and alluring demeanor, and connecting her words and actions, he concluded that this woman must be Wang Xifeng, the wife of Jia Lian, the son of Jia She, and his own sister-in-law.

Second Master is lost in thought again, it seems his infatuation has struck again. Jin Chuan'er interjected, and the two women covered their mouths, giggling. It is indeed the case that anyone who could be selected to serve as a maid in the Jia household, if not exceptionally beautiful, at least possesses above-average looks.

And Jia Baoyu, by a stroke of fate, landed on the bluestone platform halfway up the mountain, his entire body soaked in blood from the补天石, thus he inexplicably traversed to this place

"You are just talking nonsense!" Colorfulclouds twisted the face of the golden bracelet with her hand and disdainfully said, "Second Master is really too cowardly; calling him 'Master' is already flattering him. Who doesn't know? Among those maidservants around him, Xi Ren is somewhat reasonable, but Qingwen, that flirtatious fox, only knows how to glare at people with her seductive eyes all day long. Sheyue is even more formidable than Second Master when she opens her mouth. Qiuwen and Bihen are even more impressive, always complaining, yet it seems Second Master cannot manage them. In my opinion, Baoyu is not even as good as Master Huan."

"Oh!" Colorful Clouds sneered, "Jin Chuan'er, are you feeling frisky? It seems to me that this year's spring is still far off. Why are you always speaking in favor of the Second Master? Do you two have some secret dealings? And what about the Double Kings of the Capital? How come I haven't heard of that?"

"Master Ba, I applied lipstick today, are you going to eat or not?" Just as he was lost in thought, two women, Colorful Clouds and Golden Bracelet, approached him; both were personal maids of his mother, Lady Wang.

What the heck! Why does this sound feel so chilling? Jia Baoyu then heard a lot of laughter coming from inside, and it was evident that these few words had surprisingly pleased so many people
