The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 336 Lin Hongyu

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Yunyi stretched lazily and walked out of the main room. He smiled and greeted Jia Lian, who was looking sick in front of the west wing, "Good morning, Second Brother Lian!"

"Good morning! Good morning!" Jia Lian hunched his back and nodded awkwardly.

If someone who doesn't know the truth sees this scene, he or she may not be able to tell who is the guest.

Seeing Jia Lian's sickly appearance, Zhang Yunyi frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Did Second Brother Lian not sleep well last night?"

"I slept well, but..." Jia Lian hesitated, "It seems that the disease is not... not cured..."

"No way?" Zhang Yunyi lowered his eyes, half believing and half doubting.

Could this guy be addicted to watching porn movies?
"No, no, no! It's absolutely true..." Seeing his doubt, Jia Lian looked anxious and was about to cry.

He had a lot of pain in his heart. He was indeed complaining last night without any reason, but it might be the side effects of the treatment, or he might have used too much force. After he went back and calmed down, he realized that he was unconscious.

He didn't dare to disturb them, and was worried all night, so he came to ask for help early in the morning.

Although he was quite enthusiastic about the play and Wang Xifeng seemed to be willing to give in, he moved into the Rong Mansion this time with the mentality of sharing the spoils with everyone.

But there is not enough time to spend on Wang Xifeng.

Seeing that Jia Lian did not seem to be pretending, he said perfunctorily: "Perhaps you were too exhausted yesterday, Brother Lian, take a rest for a while!"

After hearing what he said, Jia Lian came to his senses.

Last night was different from the last time I peeked out the back porch window. I had a chance to lean against the wall and catch my breath.

This time, I actually watched the whole show.

The effect was actually much stronger than when he accidentally swallowed the pill.

"Yes, yes, yes! Maybe that's the reason."

He was still a little worried, so he added, "Give me a few days to recover, if..."

"Save people to the end. There is no reason to give up halfway!"

After sending Jia Lian away, Zhang Yun逸 walked out of the courtyard.

I originally planned to go back, change clothes, have breakfast and then go to the yamen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Li Wan, peeking out of the west corner door.

Last night she waited anxiously until midnight, but Zhang Yunyi did not come out. She knew that he must have stayed at Wang Xifeng's place all night as he said during the day.

Therefore, I came here early in the morning to wait for the rabbit.

Since she lived next door to Wang Xifeng, she would not arouse suspicion.

Zhang Yunyi stretched his muscles calmly, turned around and walked to the door, smiling and greeting, "I was just about to go to the garden to exercise, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to get up so early!"

"Hmm!" Li Wan said hurriedly, "Lan'er has to go to school soon, I'll get up and watch her."

Zhang Yunyi walked in front of her and lowered his voice and said, "If sister-in-law can get away tonight, please go to the Grand Hall and wait for me later!"

Li Wan is not Aunt Zhao. In this era when people share concubines, it is not uncommon for concubines to be given away as gifts. The emperor will not be overly critical of the reputation of concubines and will be more lenient in managing them.

Even though Aunt Zhao had given birth to a child for Jia Zheng, it would not be surprising if she was really sent away.

Although we can let Lai Da arrange it, it is better to keep it a secret if he doesn't know about it.

Not letting those below you see through you is also a way to control them.

Originally, he was still planning to let Lai Da pass the message if he couldn't find an opportunity. But now, Li Wan walked into the trap herself, saving the trouble of transferring.

Although he had an appointment with Tanchun in the evening, he would take things step by step even with Yingchun, let alone Tanchun, whom he met privately for the first time?

Since this is our first meeting, we can just have a brief encounter at best, and it probably won't take much time.

Don’t waste it, just make an appointment for the second half.

"You can take it off! You can take it off!" Li Wan hurriedly whispered, "But you have to wait until Lan'er falls asleep." Occasionally, when she couldn't control herself, she would send Suyun away to comfort herself.

She was just worried that Jia Lan hadn't slept yet and would need to find her for something urgent.

This was exactly what Zhang Yunyi wanted, so he nodded and said, "Then we'll see you there!"

He performed the whole act. Although he had seldom run since Zhen Shiyin taught him the health-preserving boxing techniques, he picked it up again today.

Because it was still early, and in order to maintain an impartial image in front of Jinchai, he did not visit any courtyard.

The Grand View Garden is different from the Huifang Garden. He ran around it once and that was enough exercise.

Just as I stepped onto the flat and wide road in front of Qinfang Pavilion, I saw a maid in red clothes, bending over, looking for something in the grass.

She was hunched over with her hips sticking out. Although her face couldn't be seen, her figure looked familiar.

Although Zhang Yunyi often came to the garden to stroll, most of the people he remembered had names, so he pretended to be curious and came closer, then asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Ah!" The maid screamed, raised her head hurriedly, blinked her lively eyes, and said shyly, "Master Yi...Master Yi! My handkerchief is lost..."

She has a pretty face and a pair of eyes that seem to be able to speak. Who else could it be but Xiaohong?

Zhang Yunyi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Do you know me?"

The disappointment in Xiaohong's eyes flashed away and she said, "When I went to Beijing with Miss Lin, I met you, Master!"

Zhang Yunyi keenly grasped the change in her eyes, and suddenly realized: "Oh!~ I remember, you are Lin Zhixiao's daughter!"

Lin Xiaohong said shyly: "Master... Master actually still remembers me!"

"If a pair of handkerchiefs are lost, it's lost. Why bother looking for them? I'll give you a few more later!"

Zhang Yunyi asked knowingly, "By the way, where are you working now? I'll ask someone to send it to you later!"

Lin Xiaohong bowed and said, "I am only a third-class maid in Yihong Courtyard. I am afraid I cannot afford Master Yi's reward!"

She emphasized the third-class maid.

Zhang Yunyi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why? With your appearance and character, why are you still feeling so wronged? Why didn't Steward Lin arrange a good job for you?"

"I'm new here, and I'm unfamiliar with the place. If I start to serve my master right away, I'll inevitably be envied. It's better for me to start from a small position with a down-to-earth attitude."

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable!" Zhang Yunyi pondered for a moment and said, "However, this would be a waste of your talent. Are you willing to go to the East Palace?"

Lin Xiaohong bowed deeply, lowered her head and said, "Whether I am willing or not, I dare not say. But the master has a deep fortune. If I go to the East Palace, I can learn some eyebrows and eyes, and gain some knowledge and get some blessings."

Zhang Yunyi smiled and said, "Okay! That's what I said!"

He hesitated for a moment and added, "My uncle hasn't finished his work yet. Tomorrow, my uncle will tell my second sister-in-law to arrange for you to stay with her for a while and ask her to take care of you. When my uncle has finished his work, I will let you go."

"Huh!" Lin Xiaohong quickly agreed, and did not forget to remind him, "I am Xiaohong, your servant, thank you for your kindness, Master."

After she reminded him, Zhang Yunyi realized that after talking for so long, he had forgotten to ask her name.

He said with a double meaning: "When you come to my place, work hard and I will definitely give you a high position."

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "It's just that the name Xiaohong is too vulgar. Why did your parents give you such a name?"

Lin Xiaohong quickly explained: "My Lord! My original name was Hongyu, but because I favored Master Bao, I can only be called Xiaohong now."

When she said this, there was a hint of grievance on her face.

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said with disdain, "What's the big deal? Hongyu is such a nice name, I'll change it back later!"

"Huh!" Lin Hongyu said happily, "Then I'll take my leave first and go back to pack up and wait for Second Madam to summon me."

Zhang Yunyi teased, "What? You're not looking for the handkerchief anymore?"

Lin Hongyu was not embarrassed at all, instead she smiled slyly and said, "Your Excellency knows about my lost handkerchief. You are very observant. Even if someone really picked it up, you are on my side, so what do I have to worry about?"
