The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 127 Passionate Jia Zheng

The next day, Zhang Yun逸 received another invitation from Jia Zheng.

This time, he had no reason to refuse, and he came to Rongguo Mansion as agreed the next night.

"Don't blame me, uncle. I was really a bit overwhelmed recently."

"It's serious. My dear nephew is so loyal and righteous that he has done so much for my elder brother. I am ashamed of myself."

Putting aside the two hats put on the Ning Mansion and the secret calculations, the character created with real money is indeed very convincing.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? You work in the Ministry of Industry. Although you are untainted by mud, you can't avoid being in the melon field. It's more convenient for me than for my nephew."

This sentence really hit Jia Zheng's sore spot, and he couldn't hide his satisfaction and smiled happily.

After some polite exchanges, Jia Zheng pulled him through the corridor and the hall and headed straight for the backyard.

"We are all family, this is a family dinner, there is no need to stick to the conventions."

Zhang Yunyi would not object, so he took the opportunity to ask, "I wonder why Uncle called Yunyi here?"

"No hurry, no hurry, let's eat and talk later."

As they were talking, they walked to the back corridor of the Ti'ren Mude courtyard, and saw Mrs. Wang standing in front of the courtyard gate.

Zhang Yun逸 quickly saluted.

Mrs. Wang returned the greeting and then said to Jia Zheng, "Master, the food is ready!"

Jia Zheng's expression froze.

Mrs. Wang smiled and explained, "The master didn't tell me to do that this time. I was worried that he had forgotten to make arrangements, so I took the initiative to prepare a table. If the master has somewhere else to go, it doesn't matter if we leave here."

With the experience from last time, Mrs. Wang did not ask Jia Zheng how to make arrangements this time, but simply sat back and waited.

This caught Jia Zheng off guard. He had wanted to avoid Lady Wang, so he had made all the arrangements in Aunt Zhao's courtyard.

However, in front of Zhang Yunyi, she was too embarrassed to leave her mistress and go to the concubine's courtyard to entertain the guests, so she had to be forced into the courtyard by Madam Wang.

After entering the side hall, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "My nephew and I have something to say. We don't need anyone to serve us here. You all can go down!"

"Then ask them to guard the door..."

"No need!" Jia Zheng was quite impatient.

From his tone, Mrs. Wang knew that her actions had caused Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction. She didn't want to cause him any more trouble, so she hurriedly left with her maids.

After leaving the side hall, Caixia followed out and glanced at Madam Wang, and said cautiously, "Since the master is staying here, do you want to go and tell Aunt Zhao?"

As the mistress of Rongguo Mansion, how could she hide Aunt Zhao's preparations from her?

Glancing at Caixia, he said coldly: "Since the master didn't give any instructions, he must have other plans. There is no need to do this."

Caixia quickly lowered her head and dared not speak.

After returning to the house, Mrs. Wang hurriedly told Jin Chuan to prepare two side dishes and asked her to bring a pot of wine.

He had originally planned to take advantage of Zhang Yunyi and, during the dinner, follow the same pattern as that day and have a few drinks with Jia Zheng in order to relive the old days.

Although he was driven out now, at least Jia Zheng was kept. After all, since he had invited Zhang Yunyi and was taking the matter so seriously, it was impossible for him not to drink at all.

Most of the work has been done, so naturally we have to drink a little to liven up the evening.

I ate a little bit and had a couple of drinks, and felt a little tipsy.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, she couldn't help worrying that there was no one guarding outside and Jia Zheng might slip away.

So he stood up and told Jin Chuan and the others, "I'm afraid the master has something to discuss with Brother Yi. I'm going to go over there and take a look. You don't have to follow me."

Just now, Jia Zheng used this to send the servants away, and Jin Chuan and others didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

So he stayed in the house as he was told.

Mrs. Wang came to the side hall and was about to knock on the door to enter, but when she heard Jia Zheng's voice inside, she hesitated.

Zhang Yun逸 was used to being in a position of public service. He saw that Jia Zheng was somewhat complacent about having managed to stay out of trouble this time, so he couldn't help but cater to his wishes.

As the saying goes, only great heroes can be true to themselves, and only true gentlemen can be elegant.

Jia Zheng has always regarded himself as a scholar, so of course he cannot help but think of himself as a romantic.

He was toasting each other for a while, and although it didn't take long, he was already drunk and carried away, revealing his unruly nature.

He boasted to Zhang Yun逸 about his self-proclaimed romantic past and heroic deeds.

Mrs. Wang, who was outside the door, felt embarrassed and itchy when she heard this, but she was too embarrassed to knock on the door and interrupt.

Mrs. Wang outside the door was listening with great interest, but Zhang Yunyi inside the room was miserable.

Not to mention that the methods and achievements that Jia Zheng boasted about were not worth mentioning to him, but he still pretended to admire him. Just the saliva he sprayed out was enough to bother Zhang Yunyi.

However, the vivid description is quite lively and fresh, and it is quite interesting to listen to it as a short story.

There is even malicious speculation as to whether the source of these short stories came from Lady Wang or Aunt Zhao.

The only pity was that he had never met Aunt Zhao, and could only get a slight impression of her from her beautiful figure.

After all, he was young and full of vigor, and he couldn't sit still after thinking about it.

She couldn't help but think about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that Qin Keqing mentioned the day before. She wondered how preparations were going in Tianxiang Tower at this moment.

In addition, Jia Zheng was already showing signs of drunkenness, and his speech was not as vivid as before, so he raised his glass and asked, "Uncle, what is the purpose of calling Yun Yi here this time?" After chatting with Jia Zheng for a long time, he had not yet talked about serious business. Zhang Yun Yi had already wanted to leave, and naturally did not want to chat with him any longer.

After he mentioned this, Jia Zheng remembered that he had not yet discussed the main business, and said vaguely: "Garden... Thank you for your concern for the garden. Prince Ning told me about it. Thanks to your good words..."

When Zhang Yun逸 heard the word "Prince Ning", his heart moved.

He wanted to test whether Prince Ning had secretly formed an alliance with Wang Ziteng through the Jia family, so he said: "Madam has already known about this, and Yun Yi is just the icing on the cake!"

"You...what did you say?" Jia Zheng's expression suddenly changed. "How could she know?"

Mrs. Wang, who was outside the door, was shocked when she heard this.

I thought Jia Zheng was kept in the dark, but unexpectedly, he actually knew the truth a long time ago.

She was just hesitating whether she should knock on the door to interrupt, but Jia Zheng's tone inside already sounded a little strange.

He panicked for a moment and was about to turn around and flee, but after listening for a while, he found that his legs and feet were numb from standing, and he lost his balance and fell against the door.

However, the door was not locked, and he fell sideways into the room.

This sudden scene caught the two people in the room off guard and they were both shocked.

Seeing Mrs. Wang suddenly walk in, it was obvious that she had been eavesdropping outside.

Zhang Yun逸 was better, after all, it was Jia Zheng who was bragging and he was just praising him from time to time.

And because Madam Wang's arms were stretched forward and she fell on her side, her clothes were stretched out, and every detail of her clothes was exposed, and her fall formed a curve like the undulating mountains.

Jia Zheng, who was standing by, suddenly felt humiliated.

As the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, it would have been bad enough for her to eavesdrop, but she actually revealed her whereabouts.

Since Zhang Yunyi had no way to verify it, his previous words were inevitably a bit self-boasting.

He was already upset about being overheard by Mrs. Wang, and now he had lost face in front of the younger generation, so he was even more unhappy.

Without waiting for Madam Wang to stand up, she spoke first and shouted, "Tell me! How many things are you hiding from me?"

Mrs. Wang was lying facing Jia Zheng, and for a moment she was only concerned about her head and not her butt.

Without even bothering to stand up, he quickly explained, "At the beginning, Brother Jing asked Brother Zhen to come over, saying that he could mediate and let Sister marry Prince Ning as a concubine. The old lady was worried that the master would not want to use connections..."

When Jia Zheng mentioned Prince Ning, she was not sure how much he knew, so she simply told him everything and pushed it all to Lady Jia.

As for Zhang Yunyi, since he just said that he had already known the plan and it just happened to be the right time, I'm afraid he was part of Jia Jing's plan.

It would have been better if she hadn't said it. After she said it, Jia Zheng couldn't help but think of how he had boasted and attributed all the credit to himself, and he immediately felt ashamed.

Although this was just a private matter between husband and wife, Zhang Yunyi had no way of knowing.

But just now at the dinner table, he was still acting so noble, but now he had to act with the proper attitude.

He said sternly, "Master, I have always behaved properly and have always been upright. I never thought that my innocence would be ruined in your hands!"

After all, Lady Jia was the elder, so he could not comment and could only put all the blame on Lady Wang.

Then, he turned to Zhang Yunyi and said, "It is a misfortune for our family! I am too embarrassed to accompany my nephew any longer!"

Having said that, he stood up and left.

Zhang Yunyi quickly stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you, uncle!"

Mrs. Wang had no idea of ​​his difficulties. She thought that he hated her so much that she didn't care about her dignity and hurriedly got up from the ground.

She reached out and grabbed Jia Zheng's arm, complaining, "Master! These are all mine..."

Before the wrong word came out, Jia Zheng pushed it out.

He shook off Mrs. Wang and walked away without looking back.

But it was a pity for Lady Wang. Although her sudden intrusion sobered Jia Zheng up a lot, he was still angry and had drunk a lot of wine, so he didn't control his strength.

Mrs. Wang's steps were already a little unsteady, and after he pushed her like that, she staggered and retreated backwards.

Zhang Yun逸 was originally preparing to follow Jia Zheng out, but because of Mrs. Wang’s interference, he stepped back a little.

This step back happened to bump into Zhang Yunyi's arms.

The moment they got close, both of them froze. Mrs. Wang felt as if struck by lightning, and slid into Zhang Yunyi's arms like dough.

The summer shirt was already thin, and the woman in his arms was the mistress of Rongguo Mansion. Just thinking about Zhang Yunyi made him excited, let alone this kind of torture?
Zhang Yunyi was a little dazed, and by the time he reacted, Mrs. Wang's waist and hips had already slipped down.

He quickly reached out and grabbed her under the armpit just before she fell to the ground.

He didn't forget to shout, "Madam, be careful!"

Then he grabbed her arms with both hands, lifted them up slightly, and straightened his waist to lift Mrs. Wang a little higher.

He asked, "Madam, can you see if it can still stand?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang suddenly woke up and hurriedly struggled to break free.

Her face was already red at this moment, she didn't dare to look back, she just said: "Brother Yi, please do as you please."

He staggered out of the side hall.

Zhang Yunyi scratched his palm with his fingertips, smacked his lips, and then left, swinging his arms.
