The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 282: Extra Events
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, along with Ping'er and Wang Shanbao, left the yard, passed through three side halls, and headed for the east wing. Two figures appeared beside the west corner door.

Watching the four people disappear, he muttered to himself, "What do you think this master is up to? He called everyone away and left you here alone."

"That's right! Is he crazy? Or does he know that the second girl is not worthy of the lord, so he wants to get back some face?"

"It's not that serious, is it? What if the old lady knows about this? Should we just tell her?"

"Farewell! How can I explain to the old lady if I go over and tip her off now? Wouldn't that just make her suspicious?"

"Then should we go in and say hello to the lord?"

"Let's wait a little longer. If the lord gets impatient and comes out, we can go up and ask him."

Among the servants in Rong Mansion, those who can have a say in front of Lady Jia and can get along with Zhang Yunyi can be counted on the handful of one.

The only two people who could be found would be Lai Da and his wife.

Logically, they shouldn't be working so diligently at this time.

But ever since he saw the scene of the reward, Lai Da made up his mind to cling to Zhang Yun逸's thigh tightly.

Knowing that Zhang Yun逸 would come over for a banquet today, she was worried that Zhang Yun逸 would get in the mood and try his luck as the Second Master. Fearing that no one would support him, she took her wife and wandered outside Wang Xifeng's yard so that she could be on standby at any time.

Although they did not enter the yard, they listened to everything that happened from outside.

Just as he was wondering about Jia She's evil actions, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure holding something, looking around furtively in the three-room porch.

"Is this Qin Xian's?"

Lai Da and his wife looked at each other, and the latter nodded quickly and said, "If I remember correctly, she is the aunt of Siqi in the second lady's room."

"At this moment, she is holding a wine jug in her hand. Where is she going to send it?"

I saw Qin Xianjia walking towards this side with a wine jug in hand.

The two of them stepped back a few steps in tacit understanding, then Fang put his hands behind his back and pretended to walk around, patrolling.

Qin Xian's wife didn't expect to meet Lai and his wife. When she passed through the west corner gate and saw the two of them, she almost dropped her wine jug on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lai Dajie snatched the wine jug from her hand and asked, "If I remember correctly, you were on duty in the garden tonight, right? Did you sneak in some wine to drink?"

Lai Da took the wine pot and looked at it carefully, saying, "Can you drink this wine? Tell me! Where did you steal it from?"

Qin Xianjia quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no! The eldest wife asked me to give this to Siqi!"

It is true that Jia She and his wife are pitiful. Although they are the heirs to the title of Rongfu, they can still make decisions in the East Wing. But when it comes to the second house, they don't have any capable people to command.

Because he didn't know when Zhang Yun逸 would attend the banquet, he was worried that if he put the medicine into the wine ahead of time, it would lose its efficacy.

He had to make an appointment with Siqi in advance, and set off with Yingchun after receiving the wine.

Although it is possible to let the people from the East Cross Courtyard handle this matter, it is not possible to bring wine into the garden in the middle of the night.

The second wife and the first wife were already at odds, and Mrs. Xing was worried that if someone took it too seriously, something might go wrong.

There is no great general in Shu, Liao Hua, to serve as the vanguard. After much thought, Qin Xian's family is the most suitable.

On the one hand, she is Siqi's aunt, so it is reasonable to ask her to give Siqi a ride.

On the other hand, it is easier to get things done with acquaintances. Since she was from the second house and was also on night duty, it was not uncommon for her to bring something with her.

However, even so, she and Qin Gui did not dare to tell Qin Xian's family what kind of wine it was.

Lai Da's eyes gleamed, and he shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Would the eldest wife send wine to a maid?" "It's absolutely true! The eldest wife knew that Master Yi was drinking with Master Lian, this is not..."

In Mrs. Xing's view, this was a foolproof thing, so even if someone saw it, it was no big deal. It was nothing more than Siqi whispering something, and few people would take it seriously.

But I happened to meet someone like Lai Da who was so thoughtful.

After being tricked, Qin Xianjia was so anxious to escape punishment that he revealed everything he knew.

Before this, Lai Dabian had been wondering what Mrs. Xing was up to. Now, when he heard that she was going to send wine to Siqi, he found it even more strange.

Is there no wine in Jia Lian’s room?

If Yingchun just wanted to get close to Zhang Yun逸, why would she go through so much trouble and bring some wine with her?
He said calmly: "So that's what happened!"

Then he immediately winked at his wife.

The latter understood and said, "Oh right! I heard from Lin Zhixiao's family that you want to change your job?"

"Yeah!"

Although Siqi is expected to follow Yingchun and marry Zhang Yunyi.

But that thing hasn’t even started yet, how can it be as important as my own business?
She didn't know the importance of the wine and was immediately attracted by it.

Lai Dajie smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the front. I'll send the wine later. Is it too late?"

Qin Xianjia nodded and said, "Not too late, not too late!"

"Then you guys go first!" Lai Da nodded, "I'll leave the wine here for now. It's good wine for the Lord, so don't spill it!"

Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Lai were going to change her job, how could Qin Xian's family object?

"Hey! Hey! Then I'll have to trouble Butler Lai!"

It cannot be said that she was careless. Lai Shangrong was promoted by Zhang Yunyi, and everyone in the mansion knew it. If you entrust the task to someone else, you might worry about him stealing the information, but with Lai Da, you can rest assured.

She even thought that the reason why Lai Dajia took special care of her and wanted to change her job was because he thought of the possibility of Yingchun marrying Zhang Yunyi, so he was rushing to do her a favor.

Thinking of this, he straightened his back and couldn't wait to walk on the road. He smiled and said, "Mrs. Lai, please understand. I have been in the mansion for some years. I dare not say anything else, but I know how to repay kindness!"

"Since you said so, let's get straight to the point. Do you have a job you're interested in?"

Originally, Lai Dajia just wanted to delay time, but after hearing what she said, he had another consideration.

Always leave a way out for yourself so that you can meet again in the future. Although the eldest master and the eldest mistress seem to be playing some shady tricks, it is not clear what Zhang Yunyi means.

If Zhang Yunyi is also happy to see it happen, Siqi will marry into the Zhang family with Yingchun, and her status will surely rise.

Anyway, as long as Qin Xianjia's request is not excessive, you can just agree to it first, and then make a decision after you get news from Lai Da.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xianjia was immediately excited. He rubbed his hands with excitement and said with a smile: "The lady of the Liu family was originally in Lixiang Courtyard, taking care of those lowly actors. Now she is responsible for the girls' three meals a day. Isn't this a disgrace to the girls? I am a very clean and straightforward person. If you hand this matter over to me, I will not only win you face, but I will also guarantee that I will not cause you any trouble!"

"As you know, this lady from the Liu family originally lived in Lixiang Courtyard. She can manage the small kitchen, and she also has some face from the concubine and Miss Bao. Let me discuss this matter with the head of the family, and I will think of a solution for you."

If it was any other task, we might have to find ways to delay it, but now we have a ready-made excuse.

"Oh! Thank you so much, old man!"
