The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 358 Acceptance
Without Youshi, Qin Keqing and others, Huifang Garden suddenly became much quieter.

Zhang Yun逸 had dinner in the pavilion on the mountain, played with his son for a while, and then took Qingwen back to Dengxian Pavilion.

There was no way. The old couple Zhen Shiyin hadn't seen Zhen Chengsi for more than two months and were reluctant to let him go. Xiangling hadn't seen her parents for a long time, so Zhang Yunyi couldn't force her to go back to her room.

The layout of the newly expanded Dengxian Pavilion has also undergone many changes.

Four rooms were added to the first floor, two on the east and west sides, with the hall in the middle, the bathroom and cloakroom on the east, and the stairs and utility room on the west.

Two rooms were added upstairs. The easternmost room was still Zhang Yunyi's room, and the two next doors were the maid's room and the bathroom. These three rooms were just adjusted based on the original ones.

The original study was moved to the opposite side of the stairs and two new rooms were built.

In addition, a balcony was specially added on the second floor.

Zhang Yun逸 was standing on the balcony at this moment, looking at the brightly lit Grand View Tower in the distance.

Seeing the figures floating on the Grand View Tower, who seemed to be rehearsing, he hurriedly ordered Qingwen, "Go and call Wu'er!"

The reason why he admitted in front of Lady Jia that it was the emperor's instruction was, on the one hand, because he was not sure whether the emperor had informed Rongfu; on the other hand, it was to temporarily stabilize Lady Jia and inform Yuanchun through her.

With the pretext of the emperor's authorization, it would undoubtedly be much easier to conquer Yuanchun.

To paraphrase a line from A Chinese Odyssey, isn't what the emperor has arranged enough for you to be proud of?

Although she couldn't do whatever she wanted under the title of being arranged by the emperor, it was enough for Yuanchun to let down her guard.

Yuanchun is not like Yingchun and Tanchun, who do not have concerns about their age.

Since the emperor asked him to figure it out himself, it was natural for him to make the matter a done deal first and then go to Lady Jia to use threats and inducements.

The reason why he was unwilling to take Yuanchun as his wife was, on the one hand, because of the complicated relationship with Jia Zheng's family; on the other hand, it was also because he did not want the Jia family to control his backyard.

Although he had few relatives, as his official position and title were promoted, he had to entertain guests with his family.

It is not obvious before the marriage, so he can ask Youshi or Wang Xifeng for help. But after the marriage, his wife must come out to receive him.

Although Yuanchun has been in the palace for many years and does not need to worry about her interpersonal relationships and etiquette, she has been with Lady Jia since she was a child, and she also has a younger brother, Jia Baoyu, so Zhang Yunyi naturally needs to think carefully.

The biggest problem with Grandmother Jia is her bias, especially her excessive doting on Jia Baoyu, which is the root of all evil.

Even though Yuanchun might not necessarily be influenced by her, once the Rong Mansion encounters trouble, given her relationship with Lady Jia, she might not necessarily respond to every request, but she will at least lend a helping hand.

If the Rong family was sensible, he certainly wouldn't mind lending a hand, but he was worried about deceiving his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates, which would bring him trouble.

As the saying goes, husband and wife are one body. Since ancient times, there have been many cases of using backdoors and connections to get things done. It is easy to get things done by just passing a message to the backyard of a colleague or subordinate without their knowledge.

Throughout history, many officials have been brought down because of their concubines.

In the original novel, Wang Xifeng took on all the lawsuits, which was also one of the causes of the trouble.

The relationships among these aristocratic families are complicated and intertwined, and they are full of playboys. They are jealous of each other and their friends and relatives ask for favors, which makes it easy for them to cause trouble. Zhang Yun逸 had to take precautions against it.

Others use connections to get in touch with others simply to help each other, or because of the temptation of money or power.

As for him, he was trusted by Emperor Zhengqing and secretly served the King of Qin. In the future, he would inevitably have to serve the King. At least now he lacked some subjective initiative.

Plus, there is no shortage of ways to make money, so you just need to proceed step by step and there is no need to add anything unnecessary.

From this perspective, Lin Daiyu is the most suitable to be his legal wife. Although Shi Xiangyun also lost both her parents, the Shi family has 18 branches in the capital, with many people and a variety of people, and they are also raised in the Baolinghou Mansion.

Unlike Lin Daiyu, who was sent to Rongfu since childhood and has no ties with her family.

As for the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Grandmother Jia, although it is equally deep, she is her grandmother after all, which is a level higher than Yuanchun. In addition, Grandmother Jia is old, and by the time Lin Daiyu reaches the age to get married, her time will be almost up.

With his current status, is there anyone in this world who is a good match for him and has no worries?
Just as I was thinking about something else, I heard Liu Wu'er's timid voice: "Master!~"

Zhang Yunyi turned around and looked, his eyes lit up.

Although she was weak, her condition was not as serious as Lin Daiyu's, because the Liu family could not afford the expenses for her treatment.

After half a year of recuperation, Liu Wuer no longer looked sickly and became even more charming and beautiful.

In addition, she has been learning etiquette from the young actors for the past few months, and her shy and timid look makes her even more attractive.

Lin Daiyu can’t eat it for the time being, but this low-end version has already become a natural outcome.

However, he asked Liu Wu'er to come over because he had something to ask. He pointed to the Grand View Tower in the distance and asked, "Do they often rehearse at night?"

Liu Wu'er was stunned when she heard this.

The last time he pleaded for the little actor, Zhang Yunyi had implicitly expressed that he wanted her to sleep with him.

When he returned home today, he immediately called her over, and the look in his eyes just now made her think of some impure things.

I didn't expect that he would actually make a feint and ask about the rehearsal.

"You haven't been to Rikain recently?"

As she was daydreaming, she heard Zhang Yunyi's voice again. She realized that she had been distracted and quickly replied, "I went there! We used to practice during the day, but I never heard that we have to practice at night!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

Although he could not see the whole picture, since there had never been any evening rehearsals before, but today there were suddenly additional rehearsals, he could easily guess that it was probably because Grandmother Jia had communicated with Yuanchun and asked her to have more sense of ownership, so she worked day and night without any complaints.

Liu Wuer stood behind him and waited for a while. Seeing that Zhang Yunyi was just looking into the distance without saying anything, she pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "If you have no other instructions, I will go back first..."

Zhang Yunyi came back to his senses when he heard Liu Wuer's voice. He turned around and looked her up and down, then said with a smile, "Baozhu and Ruizhu didn't come back with them. Qingwen can't take care of it alone, so you should stay and help her share the burden!"

As he spoke, he pulled Liu Wu'er into his arms, carried her back into the house, closed the balcony door, and glanced at Qingwen who was lying on the bed making the bed.

He took Liu Wu'er in his arms and came to the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed, and the hand that was around her slender waist slid away. He stretched out his other hand and pulled Liu Wu'er who was standing in front of him, saying with a smile: "Didn't Wu'er say that she wanted to sing a song for me? Tonight, let me check what you have learned recently!"

Liu Wu'er didn't understand what was going on. Her face turned red, she lowered her head, cleared her throat and was about to start singing.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi suddenly pulled her into his arms, then carried her to the bed, but turned around and hugged Qingwen who was lying on the bed, and smiled at Liu Wuer who couldn't open her eyes: "Wuer, don't be anxious! Let Qingwen show you a demonstration first!"

Liu Wu'er began to have misunderstandings, and so did Qingwen.

Now that she had eaten from the communal pot, she naturally would not reject it as before. She symbolically struggled twice in Zhang Yunyi's arms, and then began to demonstrate in a serious manner.

The newly renovated house and furniture are inevitably a bit awkward, and the creaking sound accompanied by low singing and humming spreads throughout the house.
