The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 366 Fighting for Welfare
As she was planning to help Yuanchun, Grandmother Jia did not get up early. Instead, she came late with the whole family near lunchtime.

As soon as they met, Grandmother Jia explained, "You know, Feng girl just got pregnant, and now she is not even asked to handle the chores in the mansion. In order to avoid any bumps and bumps, she was not allowed to follow."

Zhang Yunyi secretly complained in his heart, the children are all mine, I naturally know that.

But he said, "Old lady, you are very thoughtful. You need to be most cautious in the first three months!"

"Yes! I forgot that you are quite experienced now!" Grandmother Jia smiled and nodded, "The eldest lady was feeling unwell a few days ago, so I didn't let her come over today."

Zhang Yunyi was wondering why he didn't see Yuanchun with him. Hearing this, he said politely, "My health is important. It's okay!"

Then he greeted Madam Xing and Madam Wang, Aunt Xue, and a group of sisters.

After they exchanged greetings, Grandmother Jia said, "We were chatting a few days ago, and we talked about Bao's coming of age, so we decided to give up the money to hold a birthday party for her. I took the initiative and included you in the bill."

At this point, she smiled and said, "When your sister-in-law asks you for money later, don't be surprised!"

Originally, Li Wan was planning to go to the house in person to collect the share money, but Grandmother Jia was worried that she didn't give enough and insisted on taking advantage of her seniority.

This disappointed Li Wan for several days.

Naturally, Zhang Yunyi would not be stingy with the twenty taels of silver and could have given it casually.

However, when he heard that it was Li Wan who came to collect the money, he did not rush to order his servants to weigh out the silver and send it over.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Since it's the old lady's order, why should I wait for my sister-in-law to collect it? I'll personally deliver it to my sister-in-law later."

How could Grandmother Jia know that he was taking advantage of every opportunity to mess with her granddaughter-in-law.

Grandmother Jia was kept in the dark, but Li Wan, as the person involved, knew everything clearly. She immediately understood and couldn't help but feel happy. She was afraid that someone would find out, so she quickly lowered her head.

Although it was partly because of Lady Jia's respect, it was ultimately a birthday celebration for Xue Baochai.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, who were standing by, couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard his flattery, and felt a lot more relieved.

In front of Lady Jia, not only did Yingchun and Tanchun dare not move, but even Lady Xing and Lady Wang restrained their emotions.

This meal was neither salty nor bland.

After washing his hands and rinsing his mouth, Zhang Yunyi said, "The old lady hasn't been here for a long time. How about going to the sun room in Huifang Garden to bask in the sun?"

I thought that Lady Jia would definitely follow the host's wishes, but unexpectedly, she waved her hand and said, "No! Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law is taking care of her sister, and you don't even have a person in charge here, so I won't trouble you. Let's go to the side hall to talk and have a rest."

Zhang Yunyi didn't think much about it. He originally sent everyone to Huifang Garden just out of caution.

Anyway, they are in their own home, and it is unlikely that Lady Jia and others will move around freely, unlike in Rongguo Mansion.

However, just as he was about to get up and send the person to the side hall, he heard Grandmother Jia say again: "You are busy in your house, and you must have a lot of social engagements ahead, so you don't have to accompany me, an old woman."

She then said to Madam Xing and Madam Wang, "You go to the side hall first. I'll come back after I have a few words with Brother Yi."

As the head of the family, it is natural for others to have no objection to what she said.

After everyone left, Grandmother Jia said meaningfully, "As soon as the eldest girl came back, she threw herself into your Longevity Festival play, thinking all day about how to train those actors. Now she is sick and refuses to stop and rest. I can't persuade her no matter what I do. I'd better trouble you to go and persuade her for me."

Originally, Zhang Yun逸 believed that Yuanchun was ill, but after hearing this, he suddenly realized the truth.

How is Yuanchun sick?
Grandmother Jia is trying to make a secret move and create an opportunity for Yuanchun!

Thinking of this, he nodded and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that Sister Yuanchun would be so troubled because of my matter. Don't worry, old lady, I will go there right away." At this point, he pretended to hesitate for a moment and said: "It's just that, here in the mansion..."

"We are all family, why should we care about those empty formalities?"

Grandmother Jia said earnestly, "You also know that the palace has strict rules and regulations. There is no one to talk to. She must have suffered a lot in the palace these years. I feel distressed when I think about it. You don't have to rush back to greet us. If you can accompany her to relieve her boredom, I will be very happy!"

Zhang Yunyi said sincerely: "I didn't think it through. It's still a long way to go before the Wanshou Festival. I shouldn't be so anxious!"

"It's not your fault! Don't think too much. She has no relatives in the palace and is very depressed. She has always liked these things, so it's just right for her to have something to do to kill time."

Grandmother Jia waved her hand and said, "That's enough! Go quickly! Don't delay."

"Yes!" Zhang Yunyi agreed, but said, "I'll take the old lady to the side hall first."

Seeing that Zhang Yunyi did not refuse, Jia's mother was not in a hurry at this moment. On the way to the side hall, she still did not forget to praise him: "It is amazing that you are so young and in a high position, but you are still not arrogant or impatient. If Baoyu had half of you, I would wake up with laughter in my sleep."

Zhang Yun逸 did not take Lady Jia's courtesy seriously.

If she really wanted Jia Baoyu to become successful, she would not have spoiled him so much.

Therefore, I just said modestly: "Old lady, you are too kind!"

Of course, he was not doing this out of politeness, so he had to send Lady Jia to the side hall before going to see Yuanchun.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. After Lady Jia’s secret plan, he had to change his plan temporarily.

Although you can also look for an opportunity first, and then go to see Yuanchun after pacifying Yingchun and Tanchun.

But if Lady Jia asked Yuanchun afterwards, she might not have failed to notice the time difference.

Besides, everyone had just moved to the side hall and it would be difficult to find an excuse to come out in a short time.

It would be better to meet Yuanchun first, reassure Lady Jia and then look for an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, he had just given instructions to Jin Chuan last night, and if she didn't know, there might be some misunderstanding.

He had to send Lady Jia to the side hall first before he had the chance to tell her that the plan had changed.

There was no general like Liao Hua in Shu to serve as the vanguard, and there was no female family member in the mansion to take charge. Xiangling, the concubine who had given birth to a child, had to take on the main responsibility.

As her maid, Jin Chuan naturally had to accompany her.

Just now, Grandmother Jia asked him to stay for a talk, so they had to send Lady Wang and others to the side hall.

After sending Lady Jia to the side hall, Zhang Yunyi winked at Jin Chuan in the room.

After she came out, Fang instructed, "Don't make any arrangements for now. I'm going to go to the eldest girl's place. You stay here. If anyone asks, you can't explain where I've been. Let's talk about it when I come back!"

Although it could have been done in advance, Lady Jia was so eager to create the opportunity for him.

I have to try to stay longer, firstly to not let her kindness down, and secondly to seize this rare opportunity and get more benefits.
