The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 463 Familiar Taste

The sky is slightly hazy.

In Wang Xifeng's courtyard, the women of Rongguo Mansion were waiting anxiously.

And Zhang Yunyi in the side hall was also somewhat annoyed.

Jia She and his son Jia Lian were very hospitable and even prepared breakfast.

But Jia She kept chattering in his ear.

"Yun Yi! I racked my brains to organize this exchange meeting, but because of Lao Er's disturbance, all my efforts were wasted... Can you come to support me? Don't worry, I know the rules, you just need to show up!"

Although he had volunteered to host the Hundred Days Banquet and treated guests with courtesy, plans could not keep up with changes. After Emperor Zhengqing dealt with the Rongguo Mansion, his exchange meeting naturally fell apart.

Zhang Yunyi had already lost his patience and was too lazy to even give a perfunctory reply. He said firmly, "Not interested!"

He had heard some rumors recently, but the gathering at Prince Zhongshun's mansion was to cover up the truth and he had no way to avoid it.

After the Wanshou Festival, the Crown Prince Qin succeeded to the throne and the gathering became meaningless.

He was just feeling lucky that he didn't have to deal with any more perfunctory things, so why would he bother to join in the fun with Jia She?

Jia She glared at Jia Lian with some anger, and was just about to signal him to join in when he heard a loud cry.

Then, a shout was heard: "It's born! It's born! Mother and child are safe, it's a boy!"

Jia Lian stood up suddenly and was about to rush out of the hall, but then he retracted his steps, turned his head, and looked at Zhang Yunyi with a beaming smile.

Finally, no big mistake was made. Zhang Yunyi was relieved and stood up leisurely, saying, "Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!"

He took the lead and walked out of the side hall.

Jia Lian immediately followed behind, and Jia She had no choice but to follow out dejectedly.

When they arrived in the yard, they saw Ping'er coming out holding a baby in her arms.

She glanced at Lady Jia and others, then at Zhang Yunyi and his group who were leaving the side hall. After a slight hesitation, she walked past the crowd and went straight to Zhang Yunyi.

When she came in front of Zhang Yun逸 and Jia Lian, she changed her hand, held the swaddling clothes, and used her body to cover the child's face, turning it towards Zhang Yun逸.

After he had read it, he turned around and showed it to Lady Jia and others.

Then, she bowed again and said, "Grandma said that it was thanks to you that you called the midwife in time and prepared the ginseng, and she wanted to thank you in person!"

Although this reason was reasonable, Jia's mother was worried about the bad smell inside, so she hurriedly said, "It smells bad in here, let's clean it up later..."

Zhang Yunyi looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to the government office soon, so let's not waste any more time. Let's go in together and see my second sister-in-law!"

While greeting Youshi and Qin Keqing, he turned to Jia Lian and said, "How about Second Brother Lian come along?"

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, let's wait until we have packed up before going!"

Family members know their own business. Why would Wang Xifeng want to see him at this time?

Zhang Yun逸 was just using him as a cover-up. In order to avoid being an eyesore, he simply took the blame and made Jia Mu and others think that he was afraid of the smell and dirt.

As expected, Grandmother Jia was furious and said, "Feng girl has suffered so much, but Yi Ge'er doesn't despise her, but you despise her!"

Jia Lian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Old lady, you are wise. My grandson is timid and afraid of blood..."

Seeing Zhang Yunyi leading Youshi and Qin Keqing into the delivery room, Ping'er seemed to realize it late and exclaimed, "Ah! Grandma hasn't seen my son yet!"

After saying that, he picked up the child and ran into the house.

Zhang Yun逸 in the room was hugging Wang Xifeng and sitting on the edge of the bed.

Ping'er quickly handed the child over, and Zhang Yunyi took the child and came to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng rubbed her cheek against Zhang Yunyi's chest, her eyes full of care, but she raised her index finger and gently poked the child on the forehead.

"Just like your father, he's such a troublemaker, he almost cost your mother her life!"

"Oh! Just be content!" Yu Shi didn't know what was going on, but said with envy, "Look at this strong guy, he's no worse than his brother. What's wrong with coming out a few days earlier?"

Wang Xifeng blushed, poked Zhang Yunyi with her elbow, and changed the subject: "Have you thought about it? What name should you give your child?"

"Zhuo and Mu, choose one!"

"Then let it grow!" The speaker said it unintentionally, but the listener took it seriously. Although it was a safe bet, something went wrong after all. Just now, Wang Xifeng heard Youshi say that the child was born strong, so she naturally hoped that her son could grow up healthily.

So the decision was made immediately.

It only needs her and Zhang Yun逸 to decide. Jia Lian’s opinion is not important.

Just speak to him and act as a mouthpiece.

Although Wang Xifeng wanted him to stay a little longer, Jia Mu and others were outside. After the child's name was finalized, she urged him, "If you stay too long, people outside will get suspicious!"

"I'll come over in the evening." Zhang Yunyi stood up and said to Youshi and Qin Keqing, "You guys stay here and have a chat with her!"

After leaving the delivery room, he nodded to Lady Jia and the others and said, "I have to hurry to the government office, so I won't stay long."

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Suyun and Jia Lan appear in front of the courtyard gate.

She looked at the situation in the courtyard and winked at Li Wan in the crowd. Li Wan had no choice but to bite the bullet and pull Jia Lan to Zhang Yun逸.

He pushed his son forward and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yi!"

Jia Lan bowed like a little adult and said, "Thank you Uncle Yi for your care, nephew. Please give me more advice, Uncle Yi!"

Zhang Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered Li Wan's promise last night. He reached into his arms, but found nothing.

Only then did he remember that the jade pendant he had promised to give to Jia Lan was left in his dirty clothes.

Just when he was feeling a little embarrassed, he heard Lin Hongyu's voice from behind him: "Master Yi, please stay!"

Zhang Yunyi looked back and saw Lin Hongyu rushing towards him, grabbing the jade pendant she was carrying.

"Is this Master's jade pendant? I just saw it fall into the house!"

She had gone to report to Lady Jia and others, and when she came back she hurried into the house to help. When the midwife told her to wash the towels and take them out to dry, she remembered that Zhang Yunyi's spare clothes were still left in the bathroom.

Because he was worried that some servants would go in to clean up and be seen by Lady Jia and others, he hurried over to clean up, and only then did he discover the jade pendant inside.

Originally, he wanted to give it to Zhang Yunyi secretly, but unexpectedly, he entered the room with Youshi and Qin Keqing.

After all, last night's prank almost harmed the child, and Lin Hongyu was also worried that in front of Youshi and Qin Keqing, they would find out the clues and embarrass him, so she came up with this idea.

Zhang Yunyi took the jade pendant, nodded approvingly at Lin Hongyu, and handed it to Jia Lan. He touched his head and said, "I heard that you study hard. The mansion is counting on you now. Don't let the old lady and your mother down. You can use this jade pendant to play with it!"

Jia Lan stared blankly at the jade pendant handed to him, and thought to himself, there is a saying that a prime minister can tolerate a lot. The grandfather treated him like this, but he not only did not bear a grudge for it, but he also cared so much about the mansion. No wonder Uncle Daoyi was able to rise so quickly in just a few years.

However, why does the smell of this jade pendant seem so familiar?

Because of the height difference between the two, Zhang Yun逸 was holding it right in front of Jia Lan's nose.

Unfortunately, the jade pendant had been wrapped in dirty clothes for a night, and was stained with the smell, which had not yet faded away.

He was in a trance when he heard Zhang Yunyi laugh and say, "Why? Do you think this is too old-fashioned?"

"No, no, no!" Jia Lan quickly took it.

After all, he was still a child, and after being interrupted, he forgot to investigate further.

This scene here also attracted the attention of Jia Mu and others. Seeing that he treated Jia Lan so kindly, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel more relieved.

Tanchun, who was standing aside, seemed to be thinking about something, and her eyes were moving back and forth between Zhang Yunyi and Li Wan.

This scene happened to be caught by Zhang Yunyi's peripheral vision.

Although Grandmother Jia has let it go, Tanchun's stepmother, biological mother, Lady Wang and Aunt Zhao are all obedient to him, and Tanchun cannot escape from his control.

But this feeling of being watched made him feel quite uncomfortable.

After leaving Wang Xifeng's yard, he went straight to the front yard.

When they came to the meeting room, he said to Lai Da, "From now on, your wife will be in charge of the gate of the backyard, and let Lin Zhixiao's family take care of the garden. Don't let everyone know about it if there is any disturbance! There are some things that Lin Zhixiao's family may not understand, so you two should give them some advice."

Every failure makes us wiser. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we need to make arrangements in the garden and not abandon the backyard.
