The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 268: Adding a Child (Part )

We rode back as fast as we could, but the pavilion on the mountain was already crowded with people.

Although the child was adopted by the Zhen family, the son's status is determined by the father's.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is eyeing him, so how could he give up on joining in the fun?
There are many girls who have had interactions with Xiangling, not to mention Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, the two ladies who covet Zhang Yunyi.

Even Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang came in person.

Although Grandmother Jia did not come in person, she sent her most capable maid Yuanyang to come.

Everyone brought their maids and old women with them, plus the people from the Ning Mansion. How could the small pavilion on the mountain accommodate so many people?

Even the outer area was packed with people.

In Ningguo Mansion, no one needed to be told. Seeing him walking quickly, everyone had already made way for him.

Zhang Yunyi drove straight in. As soon as he entered the yard, he simply greeted everyone who came out of the hall, and then shouted loudly to the delivery room: "Tell them that if anything goes wrong, they must make sure Xiangling is safe first!"

On the way here, he was thinking about how to make his character more complete in front of all the beautiful girls.

The ancients valued offspring very much, and many of them disregarded the lives of their wives and concubines. When it comes to the issue of protecting the adult or the young, it is inevitable that we can empathize with them.

Sure enough, this shout made everyone look sideways.

However, since people knew that Xiangling had already been adopted by the Zhen family, there were some people who had other ideas.

How could Zhang Yun逸 not consider these?

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to You Erjie and others in the courtyard and said without question: "From now on, no matter who it is, we will treat them equally. Even if the master cannot come back, you must remember that protecting the emperor is always the most important thing!"

The four words "treat everyone equally" were like a heavy hammer hitting Yuanyang's heart.

She subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Xing in front of her and pursed her lips unconsciously.

When You Erjie and the others heard this, their eyes sparkled and they could not hide their excitement.

These days, having a child is undoubtedly a journey to the gates of hell, and protecting the adult or the child is an unavoidable topic.

If it is a baby girl, it is easy to deal with, but if it is a boy, it is basically a consensus to keep the baby small.

People like Zhang Yun逸, who wanted to save the emperor without asking any questions, are rare, if not unique.

Not to mention, his words also included concubines and maids.

Not only those who had experience like Lady Wang and Li Wan were shocked.

Even the girls and young ladies looked at him sideways.

After all, even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen a pig walk.

There are many people in each prefecture who have never passed this checkpoint.

Yingchun, Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun looked at him with burning eyes.

Lin Daiyu, who was in the crowd, was moved by Zhang Yunyi's powerful speech, but she also had another consideration.

Regardless of whether Jia Baoyu has this determination, even if he does, Jia Zheng only needs to look at him to make him swallow back the words that are about to come out of his mouth.

Although Zhang Yun逸's words are inappropriate in the current environment and may even be ridiculed.

But even in this day and age, as a woman, who doesn’t want an extra layer of protection?
Even someone like Xue Baochai had some inexplicable emotions in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Yunyi.

If the onlookers were like this, what about Xiangling inside?
Hearing his cry, her heart-wrenching cry changed from "mother" to "master".

Zhang Yunyi walked quickly to the window and kept comforting her through the window: "The master is back! Don't worry, the master will protect you!"

Because the delivery room was a forbidden area for men in ancient times, I had to take advantage of the time when Jin Chuan and others came out to fetch water to ask about the situation inside.

Perhaps Zhang Yun逸’s encouragement worked, or perhaps he had wasted a lot of time rushing back.

Only an incense stick of time after he came back, he heard a baby crying from inside.

Then, the midwife held out a child and said as if presenting a treasure: "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! It's a big fat boy!"

Zhang Yunyi carefully took the child and asked, "Have you shown it to Xiangling?" Seeing the midwife shook her head, he held his son and went straight into the house.

It was midsummer and the house was closed, so the smell was really unpleasant, but Zhang Yunyi didn't care about that. He rushed to the bedside and carried the child to Xiangling.

It is inevitable that a newborn baby has wrinkled skin, but a mother will never dislike an ugly child. Xiangling could not hide her love for her child and smiled weakly at the child.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi sitting on the edge of the bed, he stretched out his arms to hug himself and said hurriedly: "Master! The smell in this room is not good, you should take the child outside first!"

Zhang Yunyi didn't care and said to Jinchuan who was serving him in the room, "Where's the ginseng soup? Bring me another bowl!"

When he prepared ginseng for Lin Daiyu last year, he reserved two for himself. Before leaving in the morning, he asked Youshi to take out one and give it to Zhen Shiyin for disposal.

As he was speaking, Feng also came over, staring at the child in Zhang Yunyi's arms, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xiangling saw through her intention and pushed Zhang Yunyi, saying, "Master, you should go out! We still need you to take care of things outside, and daddy is anxious to see the child!"

Because the courtyard was crowded with female relatives, Zhen Shiyin avoided suspicion and stayed in the side room to command the situation.

Now, hearing that Xiangling had successfully given birth to a baby boy, he could no longer suppress his excitement and urged Feng to come.

After she said this, Zhang Yunyi remembered that although this was his own child, he also had to inherit the Zhen family's incense.

However, he did not rush out, but waited for Jin Chuan to bring the ginseng soup before handing the child to Feng. He then picked up the bowl and fed Xiangling the ginseng soup, and then told her to take good care of herself before turning around and leaving.

"Your servant Xiao Guizi, congratulations, sir!"

As soon as I went out, I heard the hoarse voice of a eunuch.

Only then did Zhang Yun逸 remember the little eunuch who had returned with him.

He had followed Zhang Yunyi into the courtyard and had been waiting for news outside. He suddenly spoke at this moment, and Madam Xing and Madam Wang and a group of golden hairpins were surprised to notice his presence.

Just as she was wondering why there was a eunuch following her, she heard Xiao Guizi say, "Since your Excellency has a baby boy, I will return to the palace to report first!"

His identity as a eunuch was sensitive to the end, and he did not say whose life he was coming to save. Everyone mistakenly thought that he came on the emperor's orders, and their faces suddenly became excited.

A maid gave birth to a child, and the child was the heir of another family, but it actually attracted the attention of the emperor. One can imagine how much the emperor favored her.

A hint of excitement appeared on Mrs. Xing's face.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the respectful Xiao Guizi, then turned to look at Zhang Yunyi with a little more eagerness in her eyes.

Yingchun, Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun were all surprised.

Xue Baochai, who was standing not far away, looked conflicted and lowered her head unconsciously.

It was only when Zhang Yun逸 entered the mansion that he learned that Zhou Xiangui had sent this young eunuch to accompany him.

Due to the tight time schedule, he did not have time to think deeply about it. He just thought that Zhou Xiangui sent him to inquire about the news so that he could prepare gifts in advance.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Youshi jumped out from the side and took out the red envelope she had prepared and handed it over.

The young eunuch hurriedly expressed his thanks.

Zhang Yunyi nodded slightly and said, "Please do as you please, sir. I'm sorry I won't see you off!"

Although they were free to do as they pleased, there were maids and servants to see them off.

He knew that the young eunuch was commissioned by Zhou Xiangui, but the others were still in the dark and thought it was an imperial order.

Seeing how casual he was towards the Holy Envoy, he couldn't help but feel a little more in awe.

The girls were familiar with him, but they hadn't shown it too obviously.

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were breathing rapidly.

However, Madam Xing and Madam Wang, as well as the maids and old women who accompanied them, all hunched their backs unconsciously.
