The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 145 Returning Home to Hear the Good News

The gifts Jia Jing earned for his birthday were far less than Jia Zhen had expected. After paying back the silver to Zhang Yun逸, he only had a surplus of a few thousand taels.

However, for Jia Zhen at the moment, it is also a huge sum of money.

However, before he had time to be happy, he was called by Grandmother Jia and scolded.

The reason has to start from the day of Jia Jing's birthday. Jia Baoyu returned early that afternoon.

As soon as he returned home, he searched Jia Zheng's study and finally found the script of Romance of the West Chamber.

But he was so absorbed in reading that he forgot the time and place, and was actually in the study, relaxing his fingers to relieve his fatigue, when he was bumped into by Jia Zheng, who was returning home from court.

Although Jia Zheng was not involved in the Ministry of Works case, when he was greedy for money, everyone was happy that there was one less person to share. However, once the incident happened, it would be somewhat conspicuous if he kept himself out of it.

In addition, Jia Zheng was self-satisfied and was inevitably ostracized by his colleagues.

Just when he had no place to vent his anger, Jia Baoyu undoubtedly ran into the muzzle of the gun.

He still had some brains and did not dare to say that he was fooling around with Xue Pan. He just said that he had watched a serious play in Ning Mansion and was curious.

However, even so, he still couldn't avoid a beating.

But this matter happened to reach the ears of Jia's grandmother. She already felt that Jia Zhen had offended her last time, and now she had found an excuse to do so, so she simply gave him a severe scolding.

At the same time, he became more determined to take action against the Ning Mansion, and that night he called Jia She and Madam Xing to give them a lecture.

Zhang Yun逸 had no idea what Jia Mu and Jia She were planning.

He even heard about what Jia Baoyu did from Jia Zhen's complaints.

He had no time for other things recently. He had discussed the follow-up with Wang Xifeng, and except for hanging out with Qin Keqing, the You sisters and the maids at night, he was concentrating on preparing for the production of flat glass.

Although the float glass process did not appear until the 19th century, it is very simple to operate if you understand the principles behind it.

With the previous experience, although the factory expanded in size, the construction period did not increase much.

The preparations for the tin pool and other matters had already been completed, and work was just waiting for an auspicious day.

As for Li Wan, although Youshi mentioned it, he didn't take it to heart.

However, Youshi thought that he didn't want to pass on the message herself, and wanted to tell Li Wan in person so as not to miss the opportunity for her to express her gratitude.

In the quiet and comfortable life, winter has arrived in the blink of an eye.

The renovation of the hot spring villa has been mostly completed, and the remaining furniture and furnishings are being added in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yunyi went to the factory outside the city that day and took a detour to take a look, so he returned home a little late.

Just as he was planning to go find Youshi and tell her some ideas for improvement, he heard the doorman report: "The second master of the West Mansion just sent someone to ask you to come over tomorrow."

"Someone sent by the Second Master?"

"Yes! The one who delivered the message was the servant next to the Second Master."

The previous few times it was Mrs. Wang who invited, but thinking about how she threw herself into his arms that night, it was normal for her to avoid suspicion. He just asked in passing and didn't take it to heart.

However, Jia Zheng did lose face that night. He had been silent for a while, and suddenly came to invite Zhang Yun逸, which made Zhang Yun逸 have some guesses.

"Alright! Send someone to inform the meeting and go over there tomorrow after the court is dismissed."

Prince Ning had been under house arrest a while ago, and now that the order had just been lifted, Jia Zheng sent someone to invite him. Combined with what he had learned from Prince Ning last time about the role he played, he couldn't help but make some associations.

Since he was going to attend the banquet tomorrow, he would know then, and he was too lazy to think about it.

However, because of the interruption by the doorman, he forgot to ask Youshi.

Thinking that he would be able to see him in the garden at night, there was no need to rush to look for him, so he returned to Dengxian Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, not only was Youshi here, but also Qin Keqing, You Erjie, and even You Sanjie were here. Because Youshi was versatile, she had no fixed place to stay, sometimes in Doufengxuan, sometimes in Tianxianglou, often running back and forth.

The three maids implemented a rotation system, taking turns to be on duty beside Qin Keqing.

After all, Mr. Yi is a smart man. Although Qin Keqing and Xiangling are not twins, they are somewhat similar, which he certainly would not ignore.

He walked in, looked at everyone with a smile and said, "What's the happy event today? Why are you all gathered together?"

Youshi, Qin Keqing and the others did not answer. Instead, Xiangling looked at him with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Master..."

Zhang Yunyi looked at everyone in confusion, and found that they all had smiles on their faces, so he was relieved and asked, "What happened?"

Qin Keqing pouted at Xiangling and said with a smile, "Uncle just said he was pregnant, why is he asking about us now?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Yunyi didn't react for a moment. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he felt like a father.

After a long pause, he came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xiangling and asked, "Really?"

Seeing her blushing cheeks and nodding at him, he couldn't help but touch her belly and asked, "How soon?"

A trace of disappointment flashed across Youshi's face. She touched her stomach but kept talking as she explained, "Xiangling said she had a poor appetite yesterday. I called a doctor today and he confirmed that she was pregnant!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yunyi nodded and said, "Have you gone to the old house to inform Madam Zhen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed and the scene fell silent. Xiangling even lowered her head slightly.

You Shi quickly broke the silence and said, "This is Yun Yi's first child after all, don't you think..."

Although she didn't say all she wanted to say, Zhang Yunyi understood what she meant.

He said with a straight face: "This is something we agreed on beforehand. How can you be a man who doesn't keep his word?"

After all, he was just wearing Zhang Yunyi's skin. Deep down, he still identified more with his previous life's identity. Besides, he had never met the original owner's parents.

Xiangling was very excited when she saw his attitude. She said in a trembling voice, "Master...you don't have to be embarrassed. Xiangling can talk to mother!"

Zhang Yunyi said in a resolute voice: "Since Master has said so, I will not change it."

At this point, he looked around at everyone and said righteously, "As long as I promise you something, no matter what the reason is, even if it is extremely difficult, I will never go back on my word."

At first, when Youshi heard this, her face became a little stiff. Among the few people, her identity was the most embarrassing and she had the most concerns.

He had to think about how to please Zhang Yun逸.

But then, after hearing Zhang Yunyi look at everyone and say something meaningful, he suddenly felt very relieved.

As a result, most of the worries in my heart were also gone.

Qin Keqing, You Erjie and the three maids had such excitement in their eyes that they almost looked like tears were coming out of them.

Only Third Sister You looked around, curled her lips and lowered her head.

"It's too late today. Let's bring Madam Zhen here tomorrow. Let her move here during this period so that she can take care of Xiangling."

Zhang Yunyi was extremely satisfied with everyone's performance, and immediately gave orders: "Baozhu and Ruizhu will go to Tianxiang Tower first tonight..."

"Master!" Xiangling screamed in surprise, "This slave... This slave cannot serve you now, so I'd better wait..."

"What are you thinking about!" Zhang Yunyi patted her head and said in feigned anger, "How can I not know the seriousness of the matter? I will only hold you in my arms to sleep tonight!"
