After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 173 Crane Mountain Temple

Jia Daihua laughed and said:

"Alright, let's go to Pinghe Mountain. It's not a high mountain, so we can train them there."

No matter how Jia Hu and Jia Zhu looked at it, they couldn't help but feel that their great-uncle's expression was malicious.

Jia Daishan thought about it and decided that this mountain was suitable. The scenery was nice, and there was a temple on the mountain that he could visit later.

Jia Daishan looked at Grandmother Jia and said, "You, Min'er, and your daughter-in-law should go together. You can go to the temple to pray."

Grandmother Jia was willing to go, but she needed to prepare things first. She could go anywhere.

"We won't go. You men go out together, and take Jing'er and the others with you too."

As Grandmother Jia spoke, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's funny to think about it now. I used to worry that they weren't ambitious enough, but now I'm worried that they're working too hard."

The children are all busy with their own things to worry about now. Jing'er has always been a good child, so there's no need to worry.

Zheng'er is really putting in the effort now. His in-laws found him a tutor, and Zheng'er keeps praising him. He has also changed a lot.

She'er originally brought it up herself, as long as he didn't cause trouble or cause problems for the family, it would be fine. Now, what Hu'er is doing is called a career, and it's thriving.

In this way, Grandmother Jia felt more at ease, and the two children felt much more balanced. Seeing the children working hard, she was gratified and didn't want them to be too tired.

Jia Daishan nodded. "It's getting late," he said, "so I'll send someone to fetch a carriage to the gate so we can all go to Pinghe Mountain together."

The temple on Pinghe Mountain is called Heshan Temple. You can go to the temple for a vegetarian meal at noon.

When Jia Zhu made the request last night, they didn't know if their father would take them along.

They all decided, without prior agreement, not to go out today, but to wait until they could go out together.

Besides, even if their two eldest sons are taken away, they will miss their children; they certainly don't want to go out together.

The three brothers were together at this time, waiting for the court to end. They waited and waited, and when the court ended and the man returned, there was no further news.

The three decided to come on their own, and happened to run into the men who had come to invite Jia She on the way. Seeing the three gentlemen together,

"The three gentlemen, the two dukes, and the two young masters are waiting at the door."

The three nodded and walked towards the door. It must have been Hu'er who told them to go; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have remembered them.

When they arrived at the door, Jia Zhen had already taken it.

There are plenty of horse-drawn carriages in every household, but this grandfather and his grandchildren insist on riding in one, not even minding how crowded it is.

They boarded the carriage behind them. Pinghe Mountain wasn't far away; they arrived in about an hour.

The mountain is indeed not high, but what's amazing is that, viewed from the side, one side of the mountain looks as if it has been flattened by something, leaving it completely flat and barren.

After getting off the carriage, Jia Hu and the other two looked at the mountain with curiosity. Apart from Jia Hu, it was the two younger ones' first time climbing a mountain, and they were still full of wonder.

Jia Daihua looked at them and said:

"Before we go up the mountain, let's agree on three rules."

As he spoke, he pointed to the pavilion that was faintly visible halfway up the mountain.

"Hu'er and Zhen'er, you two must climb up there by yourselves, without asking for help from anyone."

As for Pearl, considering your young age, you can walk as far as you can.

Can you do it?

Jia Daihua's voice carried the imposing aura of someone leading troops, instantly transforming his entire demeanor from when he was usually just teasing them.

Jia Hu shuddered; this aura was terrifying.

Even the three fathers didn't dare to speak, and the two younger brothers didn't dare to move at all.

Jia Daihua frowned and said even louder:

"Answer me, can you do it?"
