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

When the three saw Jia Daishan arrive, they were startled and immediately tried to slide down from the tree.

Jia Daishan was startled and hurriedly said:

"Don't move, Grandpa will come and carry you down."

He took a few steps to the tree and reached out to pick them up one by one.

Jia Hu and the other two knew they had made a mistake and lowered their heads like quails.

Jia Daishan was furious at the sight of the three of them.

He then looked angrily at the kneeling maids and servants and said:

"Is this how you take care of your master? If anything happens to him, can you bear the responsibility?"

After that incident, Jia Hu became very resistant to being served by his wet nurse and nanny. Seeing that he was really willing, Grandmother Jia promoted the clever maid who had reported the incident to head maid, and assigned her several servants and several maids.

Seeing that their elder brother didn't want a wet nurse or nanny, Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen followed suit and didn't bring a wet nurse to the courtyard either, only bringing servants and maids.

Jia Daishan originally thought that although they were all young and there were only three senior maids in charge of the courtyard, they were very organized and served diligently, so he did not send anyone else over.

"They've become lax over time," Jia Daishan's sharp gaze swept over them, and the servants were all alarmed.

But they were also bitter inside. The young masters were always very opinionated and very pampered, so how could they possibly make decisions for them?

Normally, only Sister Dongyun, who is by Hu Xiaoye's side, talks to him, and Hu Xiaoye is willing to listen to her.

But when Grandma said she had prepared new clothes for the three young masters and asked Dongyun to go and get them, no one in the courtyard could persuade her otherwise.

Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, and Jia Zhen were unwilling to let anyone else take the blame for them, not even servants.

Jia Hu then said:

"Grandfather is the one who made me climb the tree, how could they possibly stop me!"

Seeing his grandfather's angry expression, Jia Hu quickly said, "Grandfather, we were very careful. The tree isn't very tall, and they're protecting it from below. It's alright."

Jia Daishan glared angrily at Jia Hu. If he hadn't come in and seen these people nervously stretching out their hands to protect each other under the tree, he would have replaced them all immediately instead of waiting for them to explain now.

The kneeling servants were all grateful. Being a servant in the Jia family was a good job. Not only were the wages high, but the masters and young ladies were also very polite and generous to the servants.

They didn't hear that some families would beat and scold their servants at the drop of a hat.

Looking at his timid grandsons, Jia Daishan waved his hand, signaling the servant to stand up, and said:

"If this happens again, you can all go find the person in charge yourselves."

He then said to Jia Hu and the others, "Come in with me."

He then led the three of them into the house.

Jia Hu is now filled with regret. He realizes that he has been acting childishly and willfully, but that doesn't stop him from being happy. His grandfather is so good to him; he thought he was going to get scolded.

And wasn't Grandpa supposed to go back to the courtyard to rest? Why is he back so late now, almost dark?

I had just finished all my schoolwork for the day and suddenly had some free time. I didn't know what to do, and my two younger brothers seemed bored too.

Then I remembered my childhood in the orphanage in my previous life. There were no toys or anything to do in the orphanage, and I didn't want to play with the older children because they were small and always the little monsters who got beaten up.

I often secretly climbed trees by myself. Today, when I saw the tree in the yard, I suddenly remembered that I wanted to try climbing it. Who knew that my grandfather would come at this time.

Three quails stood obediently in front of him. Jia Hu watched as the maid served tea to Jia Daishan, and quickly and diligently brought it to Jia Daishan himself.

He then gave Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen a meaningful look, and the two underlings immediately began to diligently massage one of their legs.

Seeing their fawning manner, Jia Daishan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone:

"What's wrong? I'm not just the three of you anymore, I've even started serving people."

Jia Hu smiled:

“Others are one thing, but you are our grandfather, and we should be filial to you.”

Jia Daishan smiled and said:

"You're afraid of getting a spanking again, aren't you!"

Jia Hu was also unhappy.

"Grandfather, why are you bringing up spanking again? Didn't we say we wouldn't talk about it anymore?"

Looking at their three sullen faces, Jia Daishan couldn't help but laugh:

I said I wouldn't tell, but you didn't say you could climb trees either.

Jia Hu rubbed his hands together and promised, "I'll be more careful next time."

Jia Daishan glared at him.

"You're already thinking about next time!"

Jia Hu had only said it on impulse, so he quickly corrected himself, saying:

"There will be no next time, there will be no next time!"

Jia Daishan said sternly, "If there's a next time, I'll spank you in front of your fathers."

Upon hearing this, Jia Hu no longer wanted to talk to his grandfather; wasn't this a blatant threat?

Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen stopped beating.

After Jia Daishan finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, and feeling the leg-massaging motion stop, he sighed:

"As expected, you only come to massage Grandpa's legs when you need something. Poor Grandpa's legs, they are really tired today. It would be even better if someone could massage them."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu immediately began to knead the door open again.

Jia Zhen discussed it and said:

"Grand Uncle, we'll massage your legs and give you a massage, but please don't mention that spanking again, okay?"

Jia Hu also went around behind him and began to stand on tiptoe to massage Jia Daishan's shoulders.

Jia Daishan, enjoying the service from his grandchildren, remarked that although their pounding was haphazard and lacked any real technique, it was nonetheless comforting.

"It depends on your performance."

The three of them then began to pound even more enthusiastically.

The next day was Laba Festival, but Jia Daishan did not go out.

After washing up in the morning, I saw that the three little devils were still sleeping, so I woke them up. Thinking that they were full of energy to climb trees, I decided to get up together and teach them boxing.

The three children were quite excited when they heard they were going to learn boxing. They thought it would be very interesting, so they immediately got up, tidied their clothes, made sure they were warm, and went to the yard with Jia Daishan. They followed Jia Daishan step by step, huffing and puffing as they practiced boxing.

Last night, Jia Daishan enjoyed a leg massage from his grandsons and slept well here. This morning, he practiced boxing with his grandsons again.

The frustration he felt after arguing with Grandmother Jia had vanished, and he felt refreshed.

After taking his three grandsons to practice boxing and changing his clothes, someone from the Ningguo Mansion came to pick Jia Zhen up to go back for the festival.

Jia Daishan watched the three of them hugging and saying goodbye with amusement, as if he didn't know better and thought Zhen'er had gone off to do something and wasn't coming back.

If Jia Hu knew that his grandfather's complaints would make him cry foul, since the two mansions are next to each other and he would be back tomorrow, he wouldn't be so reluctant to leave. It was just that his brothers dragged him along.
