Chapter 2

The fate of the Jia family in *Dream of the Red Chamber* was very bad!

Confiscation of property!

He did not want to fall into that fate!

Wait.

I am a branch of the Jia family, already beyond the five degrees of mourning!

Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope?

Jia Hui's mood remained somewhat poor.

And not to mention anything else,

he could be said to have no status at all right now.

He wasn't even part of the Jia family's main clan.

That made it even harder to get by.

When would he be able to stand out and change his destiny?

Thinking of these things,

Jia Hui's mood grew increasingly heavy.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for awakening!】

【This is the Red Chamber System! You can obtain rewards through daily check-ins and by changing the plot.】

Just as Jia Hui was feeling depressed,

a voice that only he could hear suddenly rang out.

Jia Hui was instantly overjoyed: "The system essential for transmigrators has arrived!"

Jia Hui was amazed.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

"System, is there any novice gift pack or something?"

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a novice gift pack!】

Jia Hui: "..."

He thought to himself, if I hadn't asked, would you never have told me?

Shaking his head,

Jia Hui had no interest in wasting words with a system, so he said with some excitement in his heart: "Open the novice gift pack!"

【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete abilities of Lu Bu! A full set of Lu Bu's armor and equipment, the weapon 'Painted Halberd', the warhorse 'Red Hare'... The equipment and items have been stored in the space and can be retrieved at any time!】

Jia Hui was instantly ecstatic!

He hadn't expected this gift pack to be such a big one!

This was the peerless Lu Bu!

In terms of combat power, he should be a super fierce general second only to the Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu!

After Lu Bu died,

only then did the Martial Saint Guan Yu have the courage to look at everyone as if they were people with price tags on their heads!

With Lu Bu's full set of skills,

he could at least ensure his own survival!

No more words!

Jia Hui immediately received all of Lu Bu's abilities!

The next instant!

Jia Hui immediately felt a surging, explosive power!

A delightful sensation of his limbs and bones burning!

It seemed he could kill a large water buffalo with a single punch!

And besides strength,

he had also acquired peerless horsemanship and peerless archery!

The legendary feat of shooting a halberd at the Yuan Gate!

Of course,

there was also peerless martial prowess!

In an instant,

Jia Yun felt the man in front of him had changed, as if seeing a god descend to the world—a peerless divine general!

"Ah, this!"

【2】 Is my fiancée Qin Keqing?

Jia Yun didn't know if it was an illusion.

The other's aura was especially terrifying!

It made his legs tremble!

Fortunately, Jia Hui wasn't angry or speaking loudly.

Otherwise, he might really have been scared into kneeling down on the spot!

"What is this? Why has Brother Hui's temperament suddenly changed?" Cold sweat appeared on Jia Yun's forehead as he looked at the other person in confusion.

However, before he could think too much,

Jia Yun hurriedly said: "Brother Hui, we agreed earlier to go to the Jia family to see if we could earn a living. It's getting late, let's go quickly. As for other matters, we can think about them slowly later."

Jia Hui came back to his senses.

Looking at Jia Yun,

in his memory, this Jia Yun was a clever, articulate, capable, and efficient youth of the 'Cao' generation.

His father died early, and because of a joking remark by Jia Baoyu, "He looks like my son," he had cleverly said: "If Uncle Bao doesn't mind that his nephew is stupid, recognizing me as a son would be my good fortune." In order to find work in the Rongguo Prefecture, he flattered Fengjie in every way, praising her capability and giving her spices, eventually obtaining a position managing flowers and plants.

And in order to climb into the center of the Jia Prefecture, he didn't hesitate to recognize Baoyu, who was several years younger than him, as his father, and gifted him two pots of white begonias.

However, what made Jia Hui feel favorable toward him was that he was also a person who valued affection and righteousness, having helped Baoyu and Fengjie when they were in dire straits after the Jia Prefecture fell.

He could be said to be one of the few good people in the entire Jia family!

Having made a decision in his heart,

after hearing these words, Jia Hui said indifferently: "I am unwell, so forget it. Brother Yun, you can go by yourself."

He now wished he could stay far away from the Jia family.

The further away, the better.

How could he take the initiative to run to the Jia family to get by?

And Jia Yun was acting as a son to Jia Baoyu.

He couldn't bring himself to do that.

Let him be a son to someone else and act as a slave or servant?

He would rather be dead.

"Brother Hui, have you thought this through? If you don't go to the Jia family to earn a living, how will you get by?" Jia Yun became anxious again upon hearing this.

Although Jia Yun and Jia Baoyu were both descendants of the Jia family, the environments they lived in were vastly different.

Jia Yun lost his father early and had no property. Thus, he faced the problem of earning a living very early on and learned the coldness of human relationships very early.

In this life, perhaps because of the system, Jia Hui was one of his few friends.

Therefore, he naturally wanted Jia Hui to be well.

Jia Hui was silent for a second.

He had already learned from Jia Yun

that he was now an orphan, with his direct parents and relatives all dead.

And his home was bare, with no money.

From time to time, he had to rely on Jia Yun's relief.

If he didn't find a job, it would indeed be very difficult.

It wouldn't be strange if he starved to death. ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
