The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 155: Sickly and Enchanting
When a wealthy family travels, they will have plenty of preparations.

Grandmother Jia was determined to promote his marriage with Yingchun, so how could she let him feel neglected?

When the convoy arrived at the dock, it had already occupied a piece of open space, with umbrellas, tables, chairs, and even charcoal basins.

Even so, Lai Da still felt it was not enough, and stepped forward and said, "If you feel it's too cold outside, why not let Shang Rong accompany you to a nearby restaurant..."

"No need to bother!"

Zhang Yun逸 also hoped to catch a glimpse of Lin Daiyu's beauty, so naturally he did not want to miss the opportunity to see her get off the boat.

Women from wealthy families were required to stay inside the main door or outside the back door. Even if they had to go out, they would decorate the surroundings and use curtains to conceal their tracks.

Apart from chance encounters on the way to Rong Mansion, I guess the only chance you have to catch a glimpse of her from afar is when you get off the boat.

As soon as he sat down, Yuanyang came over and handed him a hand warmer, saying, "If you feel cold, I will cover you with a curtain..."

"Master is not that delicate!"

He said this, but he reached out his hand, took the heater, held it in his arms and rubbed it for a few times before handing it back to Yuanyang, saying, "I appreciate Sister Yuanyang's kindness, but you should keep it warm, don't catch a cold."

A blush flashed across Yuanyang's face, and then she waved her hand and smiled, "Master, you are not that delicate. How can a servant like me not be able to stand the wind?"

"Maid?" Zhang Yunyi looked around, then turned back to look at Yuanyang, a little confused, "Sister, are you talking about me?"

Although she knew that he was acting, Yuanyang was still inexplicably happy, but she said insincerely: "Master, please don't tease me, how can I bear it!"

Zhang Yunyi said seriously, "Sister, you are joking! Although I don't go to the mansion very often, I have heard that the old lady can't leave you for a moment. I'm afraid that even her own granddaughter is not so close to her, let alone a maid."

After he said this, Yuanyang's face showed a bit of disappointment.

What Zhang Yun逸 said was indeed correct. Lady Jia really couldn't live without her, but a maid was still a maid after all.

Even if Yingchun is as transparent as she is, when the time comes for a good marriage, Grandmother Jia will help her with all her might.

On the contrary, she has to think of every possible way to find a good home.

Seeing that Zhang Yunyi seemed to treat her differently, she felt more expectant.

She chatted with him very politely.

Zhang Yunyi didn't want to spend too much time on it, but there was no phone call at the moment, and he didn't know when the boat would arrive. He could just wait anyway, so it would be more interesting to flirt with the couple than to chat with Lai Da. He could just treat it as a way to pass the time.

About half an hour.

All I heard was a shout from the servant outside.

"Here we go! Look at the Second Master's boat!"

The two stopped talking.

Yuanyang quickly stood up, apologized to him, and brought a group of maids and servants, set up a curtain and went to the river bank.

As the dock was cramped, all ships had to dock one by one.

After a while, a petite figure in white clothes was seen on the boat that had arrived at the shore first. She stepped onto the sampan with the help of two maids.

There was no harm from electronic products here, and Zhang Yunyi had no pressure from scientific examinations. His eyesight was excellent, and although he was not close, he could still take in Lin Daiyu's pure and elegant face.

Two curved eyebrows, seemingly frowning but not frowning, were like a cloud of green mist, hanging on a pair of eyes that seemed to be full of emotion but not happy. Her eyes were clear, like a pool of clear water, with tears in their eyes and slight gasps.

Her face reveals sorrow and her delicate body is full of illness, which makes people can't help but feel love and pity for her.

It's a pity that although it is beautiful, it has not yet fully grown and is underdeveloped, so it looks too weak.

Zhang Yunyi only took a quick glance and she had already stepped off the sampan and walked into the curtain.

However, this actually made her fragile figure hidden behind the curtain.

It further highlights the delicate beauty of the beautiful flowers reflecting on the water and the weak willows swaying in the wind. Zhang Yunyi retracted his gaze only after watching the petite figure get into the sedan.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu's boat had already made way, and Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but look at the two people standing at the bow of the next boat.

That young man with a face as white as jade, a dashing appearance and frivolous manners must be Jia Lian.

Next to Jia Lian was standing a man with a round waist and thick back, a broad face and square mouth, a straight nose and powerful cheeks, who looked quite attractive. It was probably Jia Yucun.

Jia Lian was the first to step off the boat. He did not greet Zhang Yunyi, but laughed at Lai Da and said, "Thank you, housekeeper Lai, for coming to pick me up in person!"

Lai Da looked quite embarrassed. He bowed to Zhang Yunyi and then said to Jia Lian, "The old lady specially asked Master Yi to come here."

He specifically used the word "please" to remind Jia Lian, but he didn't notice it.

Instead, he turned around and called Jia Yucun, saying, "Brother Yucun, why don't you come back with me to meet the old lady and my second uncle."

Jia Yucun bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I have been summoned back to the capital this time, and I have to report to the Ministry of Personnel first. I will come to apologize in person another day!"

After saying this, he bowed solemnly to Zhang Yunyi and said, "What is this gentleman's name?"

Although Zhang Yun逸 was not wearing official uniform, his clothes were extraordinary and obviously different from those of the servants.

Moreover, Jia Lian did not take Lai Da's words seriously. He had been in officialdom for a long time, but he understood the meaning of it at the first time.

"Your humble servant Zhang Yunyi greets Lord Jia."

Zhang Yunyi bowed slightly.

Putting aside other things, there is indeed a difference in quality. In public, one still needs to put in some effort to show off.

Unexpectedly, before he could even bow, Jia Yucun stepped forward and held his arm.

He shouted: "No, no! It turns out that it is Mr. Zhang who was favored by the late emperor. Please don't let Yucun down!"

Zhang Yunyi was stunned. He didn't expect that Jia Yucun, who was far away in Jinling, had heard of his name.

On the other hand, Jia Lian is indeed a little confused.

However, then again, if one of the masters of the Ning and Rong mansions could be as talented as Jia Yucun, the Jia family might not necessarily fall.

After Jia Yucun's commotion, Jia Lian finally reacted. He looked at Lai Da as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It was fine in front of Zhang Yun逸, but now there was Jia Yucun, and whispering to them would be a loss of dignity for the Rong Mansion.

Lai Da could only bite the bullet and say, "Because the masters are not available, the old lady had to ask Master Yi from the East Mansion's lady's family to come and welcome them..."

"Mrs. Dongfu?"

Jia Lian muttered something, was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. He said in surprise: "It turned out to be you!"

Lai Da was afraid that he would say something inappropriate again, so he quickly added: "Now Master Yi lives in the East Palace, which is close, and the factory in his government office is not far from the south of the city, so the old lady troubled Master Yi to make a trip."

At this moment Jia Lian finally figured out something was going on. He had just said a polite word to Zhang Yunyi when he saw a eunuch in a red robe galloping towards him with several guards in brocade clothes.

He quickly left Zhang Yunyi behind and turned his head to look at Jia Yucun and said, "Brother Yucun has been summoned back to the capital. Could it be that the palace is in a hurry to summon him?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Jia Yucun's face, and then a casual hint of joy disappeared. He quickly brushed his clothes, calmed down, and looked at the eunuch who was rushing towards him.

As expected, the eunuch rode his horse closer and dismounted.

He said, "Master Zhang is really easy for me to find!"
