The Red Mansion Big Liar.
Chapter 177 Storytelling
Chapter 177 Storytelling (Part )
When Jia Baoyu saw that Chengquan's words were not echoed by others, he felt more aggrieved.
He did not point the finger at the sisters, but instead said to Zhang Yunyi indignantly: "Could it be that in the eyes of Brother Yi, everyone in this world is a profit-seeking, muddy fool, and he is unwilling to make this good story come true?"
Zhang Yunyi sneered: "Brother Bao just said that he was willing to give up everything for Qiuxiang. If you were Hua Wen or Hua Hu, would you still be willing to make this beautiful story come true?"
"This……"
Jia Baoyu was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, he said with a red face, "If I were Hua Wen and Hua Hu, I would not delay Qiuxiang."
He had a high opinion of himself and felt that he was not a fool, but in Zhang Yunyi's opinion, he was even worse than the two brothers.
Not to mention that Qingwen was driven away, he never said a word about it. Even for Lin Daiyu, he never said in front of Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang that he would marry her.
Even when Zijuan was testing the jade, he simply did not let Lin Daiyu go home.
It should be noted that this era is different from later generations. There is no such thing as dating. Even in the early years, according to what the great men said, dating without the purpose of marriage was still hooliganism, let alone in ancient times with strict ethics and morals?
There is no difference in this respect whether it is a lady or a maid. Even if it is just a concubine, the title of a first-class roommate is legitimate in this era.
To put it nicely, Jia Baoyu's character is irresponsible, and to put it bluntly, he is a scumbag.
This kind of scum is different from Zhang Yun逸.
Although he was always greedy, he never shirked his responsibilities.
Even for someone like Youshi, we would try our best to consider her.
Naturally, people sneer at Jia Baoyu's irresponsible behavior.
However, before he could sneer at her, Xiangyun scratched her rosy face with her fingers and said with a smile: "Second brother has no shame! You are talking lightly now, but I don't know who it was the other day, but you were still speaking for Xiangling..."
At this point, she finally reacted and stopped talking abruptly.
When the old things were mentioned, Lin Daiyu snorted coldly and turned her head away, while Xue Baochai unconsciously lowered her head slightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Tanchun was afraid that Jia Baoyu would lose his temper and make Zhang Yunyi unhappy, so that he would hate everyone in his family as well.
She quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Yi's story is very interesting, especially the couplet between Tang Bohu and Dui Chuanchang, which is even more interesting. Xiangling didn't remember it all just now, so why not tell us more about it."
Although Xiangyun didn't finish her words, Zhang Yunyi understood the meaning behind them.
I sneered in my heart, I haven't even provoked you yet, but you come to provoke me first.
In front of everyone, he didn't want to lower himself and argue with a ten-year-old child, so he went with the flow and began to tell the story.
……
But Youshi left the glass house and came to the Dengxian Pavilion, where she ordered food to be prepared.
Then Third Sister You walked over with a pout and an indignant look on her face.
"Big sister! Are you doing this on purpose? It's a rare good day, why can everyone go out to bask in the sun but not me?"
Since the beginning of winter, it has snowed every now and then. It was a rare good day when we could go out and bask in the sun, but it was ruined. Third Sister You was quite unhappy.
"Oh! Just be quiet! If it were only those girls, you could go, but there's also Baoyu, the treasure of the West Mansion. He gets mad when he sees pretty girls. You've always been a troublesome person, and if you provoke him, the old lady will complain for nothing!"
Although she had a deep prejudice against her sister, Youshi could more or less guess Zhang Yunyi's intentions.
Worried that Third Sister You might provoke Baoyu, he specifically warned her not to go in. Third Sister You said indignantly, "With his silly look, who would want to provoke him?"
Although she did not meet everyone, she saw everyone passing by in Doufengxuan.
Yu-shi ignored her assurances and refused to give in, saying, "Less trouble is worse than more trouble. If you don't provoke him, there's no guarantee that he won't become insane and come to provoke you. A while ago, because he saw a dirty joke in the mansion, the old lady called the guy in front over and gave him a good scolding."
The person mentioned in front naturally refers to Jia Zhen. There were no outsiders here, and Youshi was too lazy to call him master. She also deliberately distinguished him from Zhang Yun逸, so she didn't even bother to call him your brother-in-law.
"How come my second sister and Xiangling can go, but I can't?"
Yu Shi sneered, "How can you compare with them? They have all been through a good life. Even if Baoyu is so tactless, if he dares to provoke them, even if the old lady or the mistress cannot bear to punish him, they can just let the second master of the West Mansion know, and he will be punished even if he loses a layer of skin!"
As if she felt that what she said was not clear enough, she added: "The old ladies can only scold the one in front, but they dare not boss your brother-in-law around like that!"
Third Sister You flattened her lips and said with disdain, "Eldest sister, you're still talking about that fool as if he's your precious treasure. Isn't it because she doesn't dare to provoke her brother-in-law that she can only take out her anger on the people in this mansion?"
You Shi wanted to make a distinction, but in the end, she only said: "It's good that you know!"
After all, she still held the title of the Ning Mansion's mistress, and was inevitably unhappy when being belittled in front of her own sister.
But Third Sister You was not an easy person to deal with. She was worried that she was setting a trap for herself. If her words of judgment got to Zhang Yunyi's ears and he added fuel to the fire, there was no guarantee that Zhang Yunyi would not suspect that her position was not firm enough.
Therefore, just pretend you didn't hear it and ignore it.
As he was speaking, Ping'er came out from Dengxian Pavilion.
Yu Shi quickly stopped talking, left Third Sister Yu behind, and went to meet him.
He took Ping'er's hand and asked about her health, "Your face has not recovered yet, why don't you rest for a while? You haven't come to the mansion yet, so you don't have to worry about anything when you get here. There will be people watching over there."
Zhang Yun逸 unexpectedly revealed his whereabouts, but Ping'er was still intoxicated and worried that someone would find out, so she used the excuse of visiting Qin Keqing for Wang Xifeng and stayed upstairs for a while longer.
Youshi now knew the inside story, and since there were no outsiders here, she did not try to hide anything.
Although she knew Ping'er's identity, Ping'er didn't know that she was also in the same trench.
Although as a sister-in-law, it is reasonable for me to care about my cousin's family members.
However, what he said was too straightforward, and with Third Sister Yu next to him, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Then he followed Youshi into the house again.
Third Sister You had also seen Ping'er and knew that she was a close associate of the Second Mistress, the powerful and influential lady in the West Mansion.
Now that I have heard what Youshi said, how can I not understand the meaning?
She watched Youshi and Ping'er enter the house, and then glanced at the glass house in the distance.
Zhang Yunyi was seen surrounded by a group of young ladies and maids like the moon surrounded by stars, and he seemed to be talking loudly.
He unconsciously glanced at Ping'er's back again.
I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart, what about the ladies from noble families, the daughters of officials, and the rich and noble ladies, aren't they all shameless and just trying to get close to me?
