The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 328 Killing and Punishing the Heart

After comforting Liu Wuer, Zhang Yunyi moved to Rong Mansion.

He happened to see Lady Jia and others saying goodbye to Jia Zheng.

"You...why are you here?"

Jia Zheng, who had been in high spirits just now, looked at him with caution when he saw him, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Although the real reason for Jia Zheng's reaction was unclear, this reaction was exactly in line with the attitude of a green-haired turtle. Zhang Yunyi was quite satisfied and jokingly asked, "Why? Doesn't the uncle welcome you?"

Jia Zheng obviously realized that he was overreacting, and he quickly denied it: "How could it be! It's just that I'm in a hurry to go on my way, and I'm afraid I can't entertain my nephew."

He still has some dignity to maintain and doesn't want people to think he's ungrateful.

However, he was worried about embarrassing himself in front of Zhang Yunyi again and wanted to run away.

"Hey! Doesn't Yun Yi understand? We are all family. Even though Uncle Shi is gone, doesn't he still have his wife?"

He pulled out a folding fan with a green pendant from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "I didn't prepare anything for your appointment this time, uncle. This folding fan and pendant were given by the emperor himself, so I'll give them to you. We're all family, and I'll take care of everything in the mansion. You don't have to worry, uncle, just go!"

Because it was not clear whether Jia Zheng could figure out the secret of the fan, he specifically pointed out that it was a gift from the emperor, just to remind him to keep it well.

Hearing the words "family", Grandmother Jia felt relieved, while Lady Wang and Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Zheng guiltily.

Yingchun, who was standing aside, looked embarrassed.

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan looked at him with resentment in their eyes.

Only Tanchun frowned slightly, with a hint of anxiety on her face.

Jia Zheng had not thought about his ulterior motives. When he heard that it was a gift from the emperor, he became more cautious. He took the fan with both hands and did not dare to delay any longer.

He said quickly, "Then I'll have to trouble you to help take care of it. I'll leave first. Let the old lady and the lady entertain you well."

"Hey! Why didn't the uncle even bring a maid to serve him?"

Seeing him getting on the car alone, with only a dozen servants and runners accompanying him, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but be curious.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng actually drew aside the curtains, bowed towards the direction of the palace, and said with a certain amount of satisfaction: "I have been ordered by the emperor to work diligently on government affairs. How can I be content with pleasure?"

Translation, what Jia Zheng said is probably equivalent to: women will only affect the speed of my progress.

Zhang Yun逸 almost laughed out loud. It was just the emperor's compensation, and he had the nerve to say it out loud.

After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly urged the coachman to drive.

Although he traveled light, he was leaving Beijing for a new post after all, so he had several cars filled with boxes of varying sizes.

When the group sent him away, Jia She in the crowd suddenly came over with a licking face.

"Yi... Yun Yi, the folding fan bestowed by the emperor..." He pointed at Jia Lian and said, "Look, Lian Er already has one, so I can have one, right?"

Zhang Yun逸 was stunned.

He had no interest in being a fellow traveler with Jia She, but he and Madam Xing were eager to join him.

He actually overlooked the fact that there was such a green-haired turtle hiding.

Seeing him whispering in front of Zhang Yunyi, Jia's mother couldn't help but worry that he might have some evil ideas again, so she quickly scolded him, "Yunyi hasn't even been invited into the room for tea, why are you pestering him?"

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "It's okay! The master is just coveting the folding fan given by the emperor, so I will give him one later."

Jia She was so overjoyed that he nodded and bowed immediately.

Zhang Yunyi glanced around the crowd but didn't see any unfamiliar faces. He turned to Lady Jia with some disappointment and said, "By the way! Why did I hear that the old lady wanted to send away the little actors in Lixiang Courtyard? I still have use for them, so the old lady should take back your order!" Although he didn't know the current situation in the Rong Mansion, he knew without thinking that Yuanchun's marriage was ruined, and the people in the Rong Mansion must be in unrest.

He wanted to add fuel to the fire of people's fickle hearts.

Although the little actor's matter was trivial, it was a reflection of the big picture. He rejected Lady Jia's opinion in public, so that the servants in the mansion could recognize who is the towering tree in the mansion.

"What's the use of these actors?" Grandmother Jia was obviously embarrassed.

Zhang Yunyi was just trying to force someone to do something. He said calmly, "Yesterday, the emperor sent someone to tell me to prepare a program for his birthday next year. I thought about it and decided that the emperor might be tired of the singing and dancing troupes in the palace. I might as well come up with something new and bring my story of Tang Bohu and Autumn Fragrance to the stage to give the emperor something new to watch."

Using tiger skin as a banner was his specialty. Although the emperor did not ask him to prepare a program, he did instruct him to prepare auspicious signs.

It was a case of misidentification, and Jia's mother had no way to verify it.

At this point, he turned to Lin Daiyu and the others and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you sisters again to polish the story so that it will be easier for the little actors to perform."

He had been struggling with what kind of show to prepare.

Just now, when Liu Wuer was pleading for the little actor, she couldn't help but think of the Dream of the Red Chamber performed by the little actor in her previous life.

However, the story is not convenient to be put on stage. Due to time constraints, the drama "Flirting Scholar" can be put on stage.

This story is a comedy in itself, suitable for being performed at a birthday celebration. Some inappropriate plots can be omitted, and the length will not be too long.

Ancient people mostly focused on the singing, movements and postures when listening to operas. However, the adaptation of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was able to play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, allowing the audience to focus on the story.

At the same time, you can also satisfy your desire to be a director.

Choosing a young actor is appealing in terms of age, on the one hand, and it also kills two birds with one stone.

Although the young actor is not very old, his lines and acting skills are far better than 99% of the actors in his previous life.

The reason why the 1987 version of A Dream of Red Mansions is so classic is inseparable from the targeted training and the credit of the crew, as well as the selection of a large number of opera actors.

One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. Be it the eyes or the expression, you won’t see the slightest bit of affectation.

The actors don't need to worry. After all, there is no chance to do it again on the stage, and the actors are familiar with every scene.

And he has the template of his previous life in his mind.

When he thought that he had accomplished the task of shooting the entire scene hundreds of years ahead of schedule, which the national master in his previous life had not been able to do, he felt a little smug.

Hearing this, the confusion on Jia's face disappeared, and she smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Since it's for the emperor's birthday, we should prepare carefully. To be honest with you, Yi'er, the eldest girl is well versed in music and must have seen some of the world in the palace over the years. When she comes back, she can also lend a hand to you and help you train her.

Now the sisters all live in the garden, and she will live in the Grand View Tower when she returns in a while. I think that Lin's place is not spacious enough, and she is weak, so we can go to her place for storytelling and rehearsal in the future."

This was really like a pillow being delivered to someone when they were sleepy. Just when he was worrying about how to get in touch with Yuanchun, Grandmother Jia fed her to him.

He immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "That's great. Yesterday, Eunuch Zhou said that I could choose any of the singing and dancing troupes in the palace. It's a pity that I'm not even a half-baked artist. Since the eldest lady is well versed in this field, I have someone to check. When she comes back from the palace, I'll trouble the eldest lady to help me choose two musicians."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Mrs. Wang felt a black screen before her eyes and almost lost her balance.

Before this, Lady Jia had taken away Yuanchun's future arrangements. At that time, Lady Wang only considered that she would not harm Yuanchun and did not argue with her.

Not long ago, they were discussing making Zhang Yunyi Yuanchun's backup. Now, after hearing what she said, how could they not know what she was planning?
If there had been no trip to the hot spring resort, she would naturally have agreed with both hands.

Now, I am deeply involved in it, and I can't tell my daughter...

She had no way of expressing her anguish, so she could only think of doing Zhang Yunyi's work in private.
