The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 176 Storytelling (Part )
"Brother Yi!"

Zhang Yunyi came into the sun room and all the girls stood up.

It was quite warm in the sunroom. Everyone had already taken off their cloaks, revealing their inner garments. The narrow-sleeved long coats of different colors formed a sharp contrast with the white snow and glass outside.

Lin Daiyu is delicate, Baochai is plump, Yingchun is well-proportioned, Tanchun is slim, Xiangyun is tall, and there is also a cold-faced loli Xichun. They are all plump and thin, and each has her own merits.

The snow-covered Huifang Garden adds a touch of spring.

After greeting each other, Tanchun took another step forward and said with a smile, "It's the end of the year and the government is busy. We came here to enjoy the snow, but it caused a lot of trouble for Brother Yi."

Yingchun also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Sister Lin just said that she would come to teach Sister Xiangling poetry in a few days, so we have to accompany her. I just hope that Brother Yi will not think we are bothering her."

Baochai smiled and said, "Sister, you are wrong! Brother Yi paid a lot of money to hire Sister Lin as the tutor, so he hoped that Sister Lin could come and teach Xiangling often."

She quietly replaced everyone with Lin Daiyu, and no one noticed the difference.

Zhang Yunyi smiled and said, "Sister Baochai is right. It is said that the master's guests come frequently. I wish you could come often."

Logically, Jia Zhen is the real master of Ningguo Mansion, but Yingchun, Tanchun and Baochai seem to have forgotten him.

Zhang Yun逸 also regarded himself as the master, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.

Xiangyun was also led astray, clapping her hands and laughing, "What a good host and guest, we have just composed some poems, so we must ask Brother Yi for some pointers."

Uh……

Zhang Yunyi suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

It was originally just a commercial compliment, but Xiangyun unexpectedly took it seriously.

The original owner did not have much literary talent. As a modern man, he was not even proficient in poetry. If he was asked to compose poetry, he could probably find some famous lines that had never been published.

But it was indeed a bit difficult for him to gossip and give advice on everyone's poetry.

However, when Xiangyun said this, Tanchun immediately moved to the desk, picked up a few copied poems on the table, and handed them over with a smile.

"Brother Yi, just read the poem. Don't mind my sister's crude handwriting."

Zhang Yunyi could not refuse, so he had to take it. While thinking about the countermeasures, he praised: "It turns out to be the calligraphy of the third sister. It is like a mountain carved by an axe, elegant and graceful. It is said that the handwriting is like the person, and it is true."

The four girls in the Jia family each have their own talents. Tanchun is particularly good at calligraphy, so her writing skills are naturally not bad.

Rather than being modest, Tanchun's words just now were more like an intentional reminder to Zhang Yun逸 that this was her intention.

Knowing that her poetry was not as good as Lin Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun, she made up for it in other ways.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Yunyi's praise, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

Zhang Yunyi read it carefully. Although he couldn't tell the good from the bad, he could roughly understand the meaning.

So he pretended to be deep and said: "The poems about plum blossoms written by my sisters are all excellent. I am not good at poetry, so I can't say whether they are good or bad. But, if you understand the meaning of the wind, don't destroy it easily. Compared with the cold and aloof plum blossoms that are not afraid of wind and snow, I have more pity for them."

"Eh!" Lin Daiyu said in surprise, "Brother Yi changed a word in Cui Daorong's poem "Plum Blossom", and it actually has a different artistic conception."

This……

Zhang Yunyi secretly felt lucky, as he had heard this sentence in a TV drama in his previous life. He didn't try to understand it very well, so he didn't look for the source and didn't even know that a word had been changed.

Thinking of playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses, and seeing that the artistic conception of the poem was different from that of other people's poems, he just picked it up and used it, hoping to fool people. However, he did not expect that he would run into trouble.

However, after two lifetimes as a human being, he had already developed a strong body and bones, so he did not show any embarrassment.

Instead, he said shamelessly: "I'm sorry to have laughed at you, sisters! I was also thinking that women in this world have many difficulties. They are just like plum blossoms, which are oppressed by the harsh wind and frost, so I can't help but feel pity for them." When these words came out, everyone had their own feelings. Youshi, You Erjie, and Xiangling all looked at him with spring in their eyes.

Even Xichun, who was always cold and stern, felt sympathetic, and the whole scene fell into silence.

Needless to say, Lin Daiyu was deeply moved by the harsh conditions. Tanchun also felt sad that as a girl, she could not make a name for herself.

Xiangyun and Yingchun have both lost their parents, while the other is worse off than having no parents.

Only Xue Baochai was the first to recover after a moment of trance.

Although she was a girl like everyone else, most of the household affairs were shared by her and Aunt Xue.

Even the most important events in life can be taken control of, so I don’t feel deeply about it.

Although she was not deeply touched, she intended to please Zhang Yunyi and would not spoil his performance. She could not help but admire him and said, "No wonder Brother Yi could make up a story like Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang. It turns out that he is such a thoughtful and considerate person."

Although he had read a lot of online articles in his previous life and had plenty of stories to entertain himself, they were not suitable for this era.

In addition, Xiangling was still pregnant, so she was worried that the mythological stories like Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio would scare her. The only thing she remembered clearly was Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey" from her previous life. Qiuxiang was also a maid, which matched Xiangling's identity. So she slightly changed the taboos in the story and told it to cheer her up and make her smile.

Unexpectedly, Xiangling told everyone.

Lin Daiyu looked at him with a bit of scrutiny, and asked, "Could it be that there really is a man like Tang Bohu in this world who is willing to become a slave for a woman?"

"How not?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yunyi to speak, Jia Baoyu patted his chest and said shamelessly: "Not to mention becoming a slave, even if my skin and bones were turned into ashes and then into smoke, and the wind blew them away, I would still be willing!"

At first, after listening to Zhang Yun逸's words, he fell into deep thought, but when he saw that all the sisters were moved, he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied and indignant.

However, although he wanted to refute and attract the sisters' attention, he didn't know where to start.

Now, having finally gotten the chance, he immediately rushed to perform.

Zhang Yunyi secretly complained in his heart. He had said this more than once in the original book.

So he sneered: "Brother Bao, don't be so funny! If the old lady and the wife heard what you said, it would be fine. At most, they would complain about me. But if uncle heard it, it would not be a joke!"

After hearing the first sentence, Jia Baoyu was about to refute, but when he heard the name Jia Zheng, he unconsciously shrank his neck.

Although he did not admit that he had only boasted before, his ugly behavior was exposed in the eyes of his sisters.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was frightened by him, Zhang Yunyi calmly said, "We need to look at the bigger picture. If Tang Bohu doesn't have talent and martial arts, and can't help Hua Fu out of his urgent need, even if he is a passionate man, how can Hua Fu be willing to give Qiuxiang to him just by being a slave?"

Jia Baoyu finally caught the opportunity and said disdainfully: "She is just a maid, but she helped them to be together. Isn't this a good story?"

Most of the people present were women from official families, and they just thought it was a love story. If it weren't for Zhang Yun逸's words, they would have agreed with Jia Baoyu's point of view.

But if you think about it carefully, not to mention that both young masters in Huafu are interested in Qiuxiang, how could such a talented and beautiful maid end up being a servant?
Among them, You Shi had a deep understanding of this.

If Zhang Yunyi were not a rare treasure, how could Jia Zhen be willing to give away his wife?
She glanced at Zhang Yunyi and put herself in Tang Bohu's perspective. Although he was not a slave, he lived in Ning Mansion and captured all the children in the family. Not only were they similar in nature, but he was even worse.

"It's getting late, you guys chat first, I'll go see how the food is prepared!"

Thinking of the worse, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She was afraid that someone would notice her, so she quickly made an excuse to escape.
