The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 473: Foreign Aid Is Still Reliable

"What's going on? It's fine!"

Inside the second gate, Jia's mother glanced at Youshi who was standing by, and angrily scolded the gatekeeper who came to report the news, "You are making a fuss out of nothing. On this happy day, how could Baoyu not know the importance of this matter!"

Hearing the gatekeeper coming to report the news, Jia's mother was immediately shocked and hurriedly brought Madam Xing, Madam Wang, Aunt Xue and other female relatives to the scene.

However, we did not see Jia Baoyu challenging Zhang Yun逸, but instead we saw him arguing with Xue Pan until they were red in the face.

She thought she was stopped by Xue Pan, and just as she was relieved, she was about to call Jia Baoyu over to scold him, but she saw Zhang Yun逸 step out.

Because the distance was too far and it was inconvenient for her to go out and show her face, she had no time to stop it.

Fortunately, the worried thing did not happen. Instead, Zhang Yunyi resolved the dispute between Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan with just a few words.

Not only that, his precious grandson also approached Zhang Yunyi with an admiring look on his face, and Zhang Yunyi even touched his head affectionately.

This scene made her overjoyed. She was afraid that she could no longer rely on her son, so she could only count on the external help her daughter-in-law would find to protect her precious grandson.

Because he was worried that Youshi would complain to Zhang Yun逸 and destroy this rare harmony, he pretended to be pretentious and blamed her for making a fuss.

How would that old woman know the inside story?
She quickly shifted the blame and said, "It's not me who made a fuss. It's Xiren who insisted on asking me to come and report to the old lady and the madam..."

Grandmother Jia had just been paying attention to Zhang Yunyi and Jia Baoyu. She only then noticed Xiren following behind Jia Baoyu and pointed outside: "Call her over!"

Xiren was just about to follow the overjoyed Jia Baoyu back to Rong Mansion when she heard a shout from behind. Turning around, she saw Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang and others inside the second gate. She was startled and hurriedly lowered her head and went in quickly.

As soon as I entered the second gate, I heard Grandmother Jia's stern voice: "What's going on? Why is there such a big commotion?"

She secretly glanced at Youshi beside Lady Jia and said hurriedly, "Nothing...nothing. Second Master wanted to go through the East Corner Gate, but the maid guarding the gate refused to let him in. I got a little anxious for a moment. It wasn't a big deal, and with this interruption, Second Master forgot about it. I was just worried..."

This answer made Jia's mother and Wang Furen quite satisfied, and they turned to ask, "What happened outside just now? Why did he quarrel with Wenlong? Did he not cause trouble for Yun Yi?"

Xiren pursed her lips and said with a stiff face, "Prince Zhongshun brought a famous actor from the capital to imitate the play performed by Master Yi on his birthday. Second Master and Master Xue had heard of each other's names, and they had some disputes for a while. Fortunately, Master Yi came out in time and promised Second Master to bring the actor back to the mansion and put him in Qixianzhai for a while..."

While reporting the matter of Jia Baoyu teaching acting, she secretly looked up at the expressions of Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, and found that they did not seem to show any dissatisfaction, so she was completely relieved.

She saw Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan quarreling with each other.

If I know about it but don't report it, and if they find out about it in the future or hear some rumors, I will definitely get into trouble.

When reporting the incident afterwards, she was afraid that Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang would put the blame on her, so she took the opportunity to make a vague explanation in front of Mrs. You.

Firstly, since Zhang Yunyi had approved of this matter, it was not convenient for Jia Mu and others to get angry in front of Youshi.

Secondly, it also eliminates the risk of not reporting the knowledge.

Although Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang heard the hidden meaning, they knew Jia Baoyu quite well. Combined with Xiren's explanation, they guessed why Jia Baoyu was rude at first and respectful later.

How could he have the time to care about anything? Why was he jealous of Xue Pan over an opera actress?
Instead, I am glad that I prevented a disaster.

As for Jia Baoyu's close relationship with actors...

As long as you don't provoke Zhang Yunyi, the King of Hell, just let him be!

Anyway, I can't live here for long.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother sighed, "That's good! Seeing them being so friendly and respectful to each other, I feel relieved!"

She glanced at Youshi and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that although Baoyu is a little naughty, he can still help Yun Yi share his worries!"

Upon hearing this, Youshi smiled and said, "What the old lady said is absolutely right. I'll have to ask Yun Yi to praise her later!"

Although she was answering Lady Jia, her eyes were looking at Mrs. Wang intentionally or unintentionally.

Lady Jia's words "brothers are friendly and respectful" already made Lady Wang blush, and when she heard Youshi's hint, she felt her face burning. Although she was not as good as her sister, her son was ambitious and could share Zhang Yunyi's worries, unlike Xue Pan who only caused trouble.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little complacent and glanced at Aunt Xue beside her.

It happened that Aunt Xue was also looking at Mrs. Wang. Their eyes met and they both turned their heads away in embarrassment.

Aunt Xue happened to see Mrs. Wang's smug look, and she bit her lower lip unconsciously.

Although, she didn't want to see her son being jealous of an actor, nor did she want her son to do stupid things.

But he cared about Zhang Yunyi's attitude.

This seems to be a dispute between Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan, but isn't it also a secret rivalry between her and her sister Mrs. Wang?

Now it seems that my sister took the lead by virtue of first come first served.

Compared with the open and secret struggles between the sisters, Lady Wang and Aunt Xue, Yuanchun and Xue Baochai, who followed behind them, had much simpler ideas.

They all felt that Zhang Yun逸 was being so kind to his brother out of their consideration for his own sake.

Following Lady Jia and her entourage, they returned to the side hall in the backyard.

……

at the same time.

The guests watching in the front yard did not disperse.

Instead, they gathered around Jia She and bowed, saying, "Brother Enhou, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that the troupe that the Marquis used to celebrate his birthday would actually be from your house!"

How could Jia She not come to the wedding banquet where Zhang Yun逸 was made a marquis and take advantage of the situation and bully others?
Helping to welcome and see off guests, maintaining order, and showing his closeness to Zhang Yun逸 needless to say.

Originally, when he saw Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan arguing, he was about to act like an elder and stop them from making trouble, but before he could say anything, Zhang Yun逸 came out and sent them away with a few words, leaving him with no place to display his skills.

He was regretting that he came too late and missed the opportunity to take credit in front of Zhang Yun逸.

Unexpectedly, before he could go back in disappointment, the people present came up to him one by one and tried to get close to him, especially a few familiar people in the crowd.

He was stunned at first, but then he reacted and said with a smug look on his face, "That's right? If I had told you in the past, you might not have believed me. If we weren't so close, why would he have used the opera troupe from my Rong Mansion?"

The people around him smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Several people who were familiar with Jia She also took the opportunity to say, "Your nephew has been clamoring to go to the Immortal Academy to study. I have to trouble Brother Enhou to help put in some good words for him!"

If Zhang Yun逸 had only been given a title, although it would still have attracted so many people, but to step into his house was not something that could be done just by wishing.

It was precisely because he was the chief priest of the School of Immortality that these people found an excuse.

I don't know whether they really value the future of Taoism or are using this as an excuse to establish friendship.

Anyway, everyone, whether related or not, comes together.

This allowed Jia She, who was helping to host guests, to gain a lot of advantages and gain many favors.

"Okay, okay! We haven't gotten together for a long time. I think it's better to have dinner here and then have a drink at my place. What do you think?"

Although Jia She did not dare to make any random promises, he was not at all vague about taking the opportunity to build momentum for his exchange meeting.

"Of course! Of course! I was really busy recently, and I didn't mean to shirk my responsibilities!"
