The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 453 The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
While Jia Huan was gaining the upper hand and feeling complacent.

Aunt Zhao in Mengpo Zhai ate up everything, wiped the corner of her lips, and put her finger in her mouth to suck the residue on it.

Fang panted and said with a big tongue: "Master! ~ Can Caixia and Caiyun be placed in my room and let them follow me?"

She didn't understand what Jia Huan was learning, and she didn't care at all.

After all, her knowledge was limited, and the periodic table and the principle of leverage were too obscure and difficult for her to understand.

Besides, since the Four Books and Five Classics were not required for the imperial examinations, he felt that no matter how well he learned them, they would be useless.

It was just to please Zhang Yun逸.

Because of this, she felt that instead of letting her son study hard to win Zhang Yunyi's favor, it would be easier for her to show off her eloquence and win Zhang Yunyi's favor.

She slowly got up from the ground and sat in Zhang Yunyi's arms, while grabbing Zhang Yunyi's big hand and stuffing it into her lapel.

"These two girls have always been loyal to us, mother and son, and they are very close to us. I have already chosen them, and I want to keep them for Huan'er. Please grant me your permission, Master!"

Zhang Yun逸 dismissed the maids in Mrs. Wang's room. Caixia and others who were involved naturally got the news immediately.

Although it was not easy to tell Caixia and the others about his friendship with Zhang Yunyi, it was an indisputable fact that Jia Huan was studying Taoism.

In order to show off and to win over the two men, Aunt Zhao often used this as an excuse.

Therefore, when Caixia and Caiyun heard the news, they came to her for help with the mentality of trying everything possible.

Originally thought that even if Aunt Zhao agreed, she would most likely be cautious. Unexpectedly, as soon as she heard the news, she patted her chest and assured them not to worry, and immediately rushed to Mengpo Zhai before the two men asked for help.

Zhang Yunyi burst out laughing. No wonder Aunt Zhao came over so quickly to be a humble servant. It turned out to be because of this.

He did remember that Caixia and Caiyun did have a close relationship with Aunt Zhao and her son. They even stole Lady Wang's rose dew because of Jia Huan, causing quite a stir.

To be honest, there are too many monks and too little meat. With his current status, he has no idea about the maids in Rongguo Mansion who are not among the ones with golden hairpins.

Originally, he streamlined the servants in Rongguo Mansion just to reduce expenses and fill the staff gap in his own farm.

As for dismissing the maids in Lady Wang's room, it was simply for convenience.

She did not consider how to place these maids.

After all, these maids cannot lift or carry anything, and it would be unfair to let them suffer on the farm just for your own convenience.

So he patted Aunt Zhao's shy buttocks and nodded, saying, "That's perfect! Huan'er has done a great deed this time, so let's give these two maids to him as a reward!"

"Thank you for your grace, master!" Aunt Zhao twisted her slender waist in his arms and started to persuade him with all her might.

"That's enough!" Zhang Yunyi pinched her face, patted her hips, and said, "Those two girls should still be waiting for your news, right?"

"That's right!" Aunt Zhao slapped her forehead and quickly got up from Zhang Yunyi's arms.

"Then I will go first! If there is no one to serve you, I will come back later!"

Even though she was doing a favor for the maid in Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Zhao still had to be grateful, and it made her feel happy just thinking about it.

But Aunt Zhao also gave him an idea.

In addition to Yuchuan and these two maids, there are two other maids in Mrs. Wang's room. Since they are both adopted sons, Jia Lan cannot favor one over the other.

Thinking of Li Wan's enthusiasm and gratitude, Zhang Yunyi, who had just been served attentively by Aunt Zhao, could only reluctantly refuse her kindness.

"Alright! Let's forget about it today! Lai Da and the others will be here later!"

After sending Aunt Zhao away, Zhang Yunyi smoothed the wrinkles on his lapel before leaving Mengpo Zhai.

When they arrived at the front yard, he said to Lai Da, "I just told Aunt Zhao that Caixia and Caiyun in the Second Madam's room should be sent to Jia Huan's room, and the other two should be sent to Lan Xiaozi!"

He paused, then added: "Remember! Send someone to Daoxiang Village and at least tell my sister-in-law."

"Hey! I'll arrange it right away!" Lai Da didn't dare to ask more questions and agreed quickly.

After returning to the backyard, Zhang Yunyi hesitated for a moment and returned to Mengpozhai. In the past few months, he had been visiting the Xue family in Rongguo Mansion, and he owed too much debt.

At this moment, Lai Da is probably sending someone to report the news and then go to Wang Xifeng's courtyard. He may not be able to get away later.

But just when I arrived at Mengpo Zhai, I found a maid peeking at the door.

Zhang Yun逸 thought it was someone he knew, so he tiptoed over and planned to launch a surprise attack. However, when he got closer, he found that it was Amber from Lady Jia's room.

He couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you doing here? Did the old lady ask you to come?"

Amber didn't have much interaction with him, and she was a maid in Lady Jia's room. Zhang Yunyi immediately thought that Lady Jia was doing something bad.

He was in a high position, looked intimidating without even getting angry, and had a stern face, which frightened Amber to death.

She fell to her knees with a thump and begged for mercy: "Master, spare my life! It wasn't the old lady who asked me to come here, it was... it was..."

"Speak!" Zhang Yunyi remained unmoved and shouted sternly.

Amber blurted out hurriedly: "It's Sister Yuanyang..."

But he stopped talking halfway, as if he didn't know where to begin.

Ok?
Zhang Yunyi was quite surprised, but his face showed no trace. He narrowed his eyes, stared at Amber who was crawling on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Why don't you say anything?"

Amber didn't dare to look up, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes... Sister Yuanyang has admired you for a long time, but she has always been too embarrassed to speak up. I saw that Sister Yuanyang was miserable, so I... I took the initiative to make the decision. Please understand, Master!"

It’s not like Amber hasn’t thought about recommending herself and taking the position herself.

However, she was still self-aware enough to know that all the maids in Zhang Yunyi's room were outstanding.

I feel like there is no hope, but I am a mandarin duck...

Although he is not as close to Lady Jia as before, it is still better than being sent to the farm.

Not to mention that he took Yuanyang as his concubine, there would be less competition around Lady Jia. As long as the matchmaking was successful, he would have made a contribution in front of Zhang Yun逸, and even if there were to be layoffs, he would not be the one.

This was beyond Zhang Yunyi's expectations.

Although he had exchanged glances with Yuanyang before bringing Lin Daiyu back to Beijing, he had no way of judging the truth in Amber's words.

However, this is no longer important to him, but he can try to see if Lady Jia has any other tricks.

So he said in a deep voice: "Get up! In this case, go back and tell Yuanyang that the master has asked her to meet him at the old lady's gate, next to the rockery, at 12:00 tonight."

He was fearless. If Lady Jia refused to accept his toast and dared to do something behind his back, he would not mind letting her get what she wanted.

Amber was originally worried, but after hearing this, she burst into tears of joy.

She kowtowed and said, "Hey! Hey! I'll go tell you right away!"

Having said that, he got up from the ground and ran away like the wind.

Looking at Amber's receding back, Zhang Yunyi sneered inwardly.

I got to know about the rockery by chance when I met Li Wan one day, and I just made use of it.

Grandmother Jia was not playing tricks. She took Yuanyang into her yard. Not only did it give her a sense of tyranny, but she also could use the opportunity to plant a thorn in Grandmother Jia's side.

If anyone dares to play any tricks, it will only result in a fall-out, and he is not afraid of that.

On the contrary, such a commotion happened in Lady Jia's courtyard. Let's see if she would have the nerve to spread it out.

However, due to this delay, Li Wan's plan could only be postponed.

Zhang Yun逸 shook his head and stepped into Mengpo Zhai.
