The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 159 Take Good Care of Brother Lian

Grandmother Jia felt quite embarrassed when she heard this, after all, a thief is always guilty.

She had already made all the preparations and specifically asked Yuanyang to go over and explain that Jia Yucun was present, so she had to let Zhang Yunyi go to pick her up.

However, she never expected that Jia Zhen was now blind in Ning Mansion and these words could not reach his ears.

Instead, he became suspicious when he heard Zhang Yun逸 going to pick up Jia Lian in Rong Mansion.

Upon hearing that Jia Lian had returned, he hurried to Rongqing Hall.

As soon as he arrived in front of Rongqing Hall, he heard that Lady Jia was arranging a banquet for Jia Lian, and he quickly spoke up to interrupt.

Originally, Grandmother Jia was unable to save face, so she had already discussed with Madam Xing that after Jia Lian had met her, she would ask him to go over so that Jia She and his wife could give her instructions in person.

Now, Jia Zhen was obviously suspicious, and it was even more inappropriate to bring it up in front of him.

Because they were worried that Jia Lian might say something wrong after drinking, they simply skipped the idea of ​​letting him meet Jia She, so as to prevent Jia She from getting anxious and making mistakes.

So he waved his hand and said, "Since Brother Zhen is going to hold a reception for you, just go ahead!"

Jia Baoyu got angry, and Lin Daiyu was mad at him for talking too much and refused to give in.

Grandmother Jia was too distracted to care about anything else and for a moment she forgot to ask someone to inform Jia She and his wife, causing them to wait for Jia Lian all night.

This is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.

But Jia Zhen and Zhang Yun逸 left Rongqing Hall.

When they reached the second gate, Jia Zhen suddenly stopped and said, "It's no fun for the three of us to come along. Let's call Wenlong along. It will be more lively with more people."

It's not that he thought of Xue Pan, but he was short of money now, and he knew that Zhang Yunyi didn't like to hang out in brothels, so he was worried that he would get drunk and get excited.

After all, it was agreed that Jia Lian would be welcomed and a banquet would be held in Ning Mansion, so it was impossible for Jia Lian to meet the guests.

With Xue Pan here, even if there is really a commotion, he will have the support.

Besides, since it was agreed to be a welcoming ceremony and he had prepared a banquet, it was only natural for him to meet the guests at the brothel.

At the last birthday party, Zhang Yun逸 had a good impression of Xue Pan and did not object.

Jia Lian and Xue Pan had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had no objection. The three of them moved to the small courtyard in the northeast corner.

Xue Pan had originally planned to do so, but Aunt Xue repeatedly warned him not to disturb their reunion as Jia Lian had been away from Beijing for a year and had just returned.

Seeing the three people coming to him, he jumped three feet high. There was no reason for him to be unwilling.

When Aunt Xue saw Zhang Yunyi coming to invite her, how could she care about Wang Xifeng, who was newlywed after a long absence?
She was secretly happy that her daughter was thoughtful and the method she came up with was effective.

On the one hand, she carefully warned her son not to behave immorally after drinking, and on the other hand, she specifically asked Xue Pan to take more silver with him in case of emergency.

Although the matter happened suddenly and Jia Zhen's status in Ning Mansion was not as high as before, he had to give consideration to others. Zhang Yun逸 was also at the table, so he did not neglect the preparations at all.

As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Before this, in the carriage, Jia Lian was still worried about talking too much to someone he had just met.

Now that he saw that Jia Zhen and Xue Pan were familiar with him, he became much more relaxed.

After three rounds of drinks, he put his arm around Zhang Yunyi's shoulders and said, "Brother Yi has not yet told me what government office Tiangongyuan is!"

There was no need for Zhang Yunyi to speak this time. Xue Pan sneered and said, "Second Brother Lian is too ignorant. Who in the world doesn't know about Tiangongyuan now?"

He exaggerated the story of Zhang Yun逸 with his big mouth.

He added: "You don't know that Brother Yi not only has the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, but also has a lot of experience in fortune-telling. If he hadn't reminded me and helped me suppress Xiangling, I'm afraid you might not be able to see me when you come back!"

"Is there such a thing?" Jia Lian looked at Zhang Yunyi with curiosity.

The atmosphere was lively and Zhang Yun逸 did not want to spoil the fun. He joked, "I see that Second Brother Lian has sparse eyebrows and thin lips, which seems to be a look that he likes women. I wonder if that's true or not?" He was just shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target, and he was forcing the appearance to match Jia Lian's.

However, he was confident about his preference for women.

Jia Lian's face flashed with embarrassment, and he sneered, "Brother Yi is indeed extraordinary. To be honest, I was originally detained by your sister-in-law in the mansion, and I never had such an opportunity. Fortunately, I went to Jiangnan this time. Don't tell me, those concubines of my uncle's family..."

At this point, he seemed to have reacted, and he smiled foolishly, hiding his embarrassment and said: "Brother Yi actually saw through me at a glance, could it be that you are also a fellow traveler?"

Uh……

"A fellow traveler..." Zhang Yunyi curled his lips and said, "Not yet."

He muttered to himself, "Only when you take in La Fengzi, can we be considered fellow travelers."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen's mouth twitched and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Yun逸 and Jia Lian's faces.

He naturally knew very well whether Zhang Yunyi was a good wife or not, but he just thought that she was saving face for him and was unwilling to reveal the truth in front of Jia Lian.

But the more I look at it, the less I understand.

Although both of them look good, there is a huge difference between their faces. Jia Lian has a bit of femininity, while Zhang Yunyi has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and has a bit of heroic spirit. He is not the one with sparse eyebrows and thin lips. Why does he have the same hobby as Jia Lian?
He had the answer and copied it, but Xue Pan on the other side did not have his awareness.

However, he grasped the key.

"Brother Yi, why do you say that you can't be considered as such for the time being? Could it be that you have such a talent but just haven't caught the opportunity yet?"

At this point, he suddenly realized, "No wonder Brother Daoyi never goes to the brothel with us, it turns out this is the reason! This woman is indeed interesting in her own way. Just to say that her spirit of wanting to refuse but also to accept is not comparable to that of the prostitutes in the brothel.

Unfortunately, with my appearance, decent women would avoid me, so it’s hard to hook up with them, so I can only go to brothels. On the other hand, Brother Yi and Brother Lian are so handsome, it’s not difficult to hook up with them.”

Jia Zhen was afraid that Zhang Yunyi would reveal the truth after Xue Pan's guidance, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "It's fine for Lian Er to play around in Jiangnan, but now that he's back and Miss Feng is watching over him, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had the guts!"

He paused, and said meaningfully: "If you ask me, you should marry a virtuous wife, and you should pick one who knows you well. It would be better not to marry someone like Lian Er, who is like marrying a Buddha to worship at home!
In the past, Chuntao, Hongxing and others in his house were his close friends. Now they have been sent away one by one. What a pity! If you didn't have a bad wife at home, the master passed away, and the concubines had no children, wouldn't it be a good deal for you to bring them back? "

Now, the Ning family depends on Zhang Yunyi for their livelihood, so they cannot let this marriage go down the drain.

He was also using Jia Lian as an excuse to remind Zhang Yunyi in disguise that he should be cautious when marrying a wife.

Jia Lian had stayed in Jiangnan for more than half a year and was accustomed to the gentleness and docility of the women in the water towns. He was not yet adapted to the situation. In addition, he had drunk two glasses of wine and Wang Xifeng was not around.

He immediately said, "Before, I was giving in to her because of my brother. Now she dares to turn her back on me. Sooner or later, she will be in trouble!"

Jia Zhen did not refute, and poured him several more glasses of wine, and said sarcastically in dialect: "Okay, okay, drink two glasses to calm down. There are no outsiders here. I am not saying anything bad about you. It's okay for you to say this here, but don't let it slip when you go home."

"Brother, what do you mean? Could it be that my brother is afraid of her?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue sprained by the strong wind? Let alone bringing it home, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to go there even for entertainment occasionally!"

Wine is a medium for attracting people to have sex. After drinking a few more glasses, he inevitably wanted to go to the brothel to have some fun.

However, Zhang Yun逸 would definitely not be interested. If Jia Lian didn't go, he wouldn't be able to say anything to instigate Xue Pan.

Jia Lian had been drinking a lot to begin with, and he had just made him drink a few more cups. He suddenly became bolder and patted his chest, shouting, "Who dares not? Let's go now! I'm not bragging, that Yasha Star really pissed me off, and the Second Master must divorce her!"

"It's rare that Second Brother Lian is so strong this time. Let's go to Jinxiang Courtyard now. I, Old Xue, will cover all the expenses. No one is allowed to compete with me."

Xue Pan turned to Zhang Yunyi and winked, "To be honest, Brother Yi, I have kept Yun'er, the top girl in Jinxiang Courtyard, before she was married. She has been with me for more than half a year now. She can barely be considered a decent woman. Let her play with me tonight..."

The two mansions had not yet taken care of everything. Zhang Yunyi had no interest in prostitutes, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it! When I went to pick up Second Brother Lian today, the emperor also issued an order. This matter cannot be delayed. I have to go to the government office to supervise it tomorrow morning."

He glanced at the drunken Jia Lian again, and said to Xue Pan and Jia Zhen with a smile: "Today we are here to welcome Brother Lian. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. The key is to take good care of him."
