The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 537 Everyone Makes Mistakes
The next day, the golden rooster breaks at dawn.

The soft winter sunlight pierced through the curtains and fell on the pink bed curtains in the pavilion overlooking the water.

Zhang Yunyi slowly opened his eyes and turned his head, only to see Xing Xiuyan blinking and looking at him silently.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi turning his head to look at her, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but think of the madness of last night. It was even more absurd and intense than her own wild imagination. Her fair face was instantly covered with a layer of powder.

I have to say that Xing Xiuyan’s private residence is quite consistent with her temperament.

Elegant and refined, transcendent and extraordinary, the pink walls and black tiles of the courtyard surround the corridor, and through the carved and hollow windows, you can vaguely see the winding corridor.

Although the exotic white flowers in the garden are not lush, they are obviously carefully cared for, and the fragrance is pervasive, which is truly refreshing.

Zhang Yun逸 gently pushed open the window, appealed to their emotions, explained the reason to them, and finally, with his eloquent tongue, he knocked on the tightly closed door.

The scented tea served by Xing Xiuyan was as clear as jade, sweet and delicious, with wisps of hot steam rising up like clouds, just like fairy tea that made people feel refreshed.

Zhang Yunyi looked at the woman beside him, her hair disheveled and her beautiful face still stained with traces of last night's happy tears, which made him look even more loving and affectionate.

He turned sideways and kissed Xing Xiuyan's crystal clear and delicate nose lightly.

Although Xing Xiuyan had felt similar tenderness and care after what happened last night, at this moment, such small actions made her feel particularly heartwarming.

She supported herself with her arms and leaned towards Zhang Yunyi. The thin blanket slipped off, revealing her bare shoulders with two suspenders and a hint of snow-whiteness in front of her body.

The suspender skirt was made in advance by the considerate Qingwen.

Xing Xiuyan subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to cover it, but then she put it down calmly and said shyly, "Let me help you get up!"

Lin Hongyu, who was sleeping on the other side, suddenly sat up from the bed and stopped him, saying, "Auntie, please don't move! Let this servant serve the master..."

Xing Xiuyan was secretly shocked. She was overwhelmed last night, and Lin Hongyu, her concubine, stepped forward.

Originally thought, Lin Hongyu had endured most of it with gritted teeth, and if she didn't die, she would have lost half her life. Unexpectedly, she jumped up as if nothing had happened, full of energy.

With Lin Hongyu's previous experience as a lesson, she couldn't help but put her worries aside. Just as she was about to persist, she accidentally touched a sore spot and couldn't help but gasp.

Zhang Yunyi felt both loving and pitying. He held Xing Xiuyan's shoulders and moved closer to her neck, being gentle with her for a while. His big hands also climbed restlessly upwards.

In just a moment, Xing Xiuyan lay softly in his arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Master! I still have to serve tea to all the sisters!"

Although there was no such rule in his family, Zhang Yunyi was still deeply gratified that Xing Xiuyan could do this.

He patted her shoulder and said lovingly, "I'll go with you!"

Xing Xiuyan shook her head and said, "No need for that. If you let me accompany you, it would make me look arrogant because of my favor!"

The niece looks like her aunt. In terms of figure and appearance, Xing Xiuyan is indeed somewhat similar to Madam Xing.

And although there was a hint of the girl's naive shyness in the room, there was not the slightest hint of affectation.

But she lacks Mrs. Xing's flattery and materialism, and is more calm and dignified. She can be said to be both capable of being in a respectable position and in bed.

Seeing that she was quite insistent, Zhang Yunyi did not force her, but only reminded her: "It's still early now, you can rest for a while before going, don't force yourself to hurt yourself, and ask Hongyu to help you dress and wash up later."

Xing Xiuyan glanced at Lin Hongyu casually and nodded obediently.

Last night, she was just shy and didn't think about it carefully, but just now she deeply understood it. In addition, Zhang Yunyi was not worried about Lin Hongyu's attitude at all, so she couldn't help but understand a little more.

Thinking that Lin Hongyu was originally Wang Xifeng's maid, she didn't dare to think too much.

If it was before last night, she might have felt a little sad. Although men cannot avoid having three wives and four concubines, it is always hard to accept that he had an unclear relationship with his sister-in-law's maid.

And now!
Then who is without fault?

Although Zhang Yun逸 has such a lustful problem, he is impeccable in other aspects.

Especially, last night, not only was I extremely considerate and gentle, but I even felt dirty about it, but he didn't despise me at all.

What reason does she have to complain about something that all men in the world would make?
Therefore, when Zhang Yunyi put away his embroidered handkerchief, she was considerate and did not ask about Lin Hongyu.

……

Zhang Yunyi left Linshuixuan and took a detour to Doufengxuan.

He instructed Youshi, "Xiu Yan said she would serve you tea in a while, so don't go to the front yet." Qin Keqing and Xiangling seldom ran around, but Youshi still had the duties of a housekeeper, so he came over to give her some instructions.

Yu was stunned and said timidly: "I... I also..."

Zhang Yunyi nodded and said, "Well! Now that we're married, we're a family. Naturally, we can't hide it from her. I'll tell her everything about you and Qin later. Drink this cup of tea first, and wait until after the New Year to finish the rest!"

Although he was wearing the outer shell of the Imperial Observatory, he did not need to observe mourning.

But Youshi was, after all, her legitimate cousin's wife. Even though there was nothing wrong with her remarrying after becoming a widow, she still had to pay attention to the impact to avoid being picked on by others.

However, the reason why he let Youshi drink the tea in advance.

On the one hand, I have to consider Xing Xiuyan's feelings.

On the other hand, it was because of Yu.

She did not slack in her housekeeping, and although Zhang Yunyi was not in a hurry to let Xing Xiuyan take over, it was only a matter of time.

In order to prevent Youshi from having a bad impression of Xing Xiuyun and causing any conflicts, the identity issue that she was concerned about was resolved by having Xing Xiuyun marry into the family and serving tea, so as to increase her favor for Xing Xiuyun.

After resolving this matter, Zhang Yunyi did not go to Dengxian Pavilion for breakfast, but went straight to the front yard.

"Go call Brother Qiang over here, I have something to ask him!"

He ordered the servant to call Jia Qiang before he started to have breakfast.

At the luncheon banquet yesterday, he saw Jia Qiang who had just returned to Beijing.

I originally planned to wait until after lunch before calling him to inquire about the situation in the south and Zhen Shiyin's recent situation.

Unexpectedly, before the meal was over, King Zhongshun, Wu Tianyou and others came one after another to congratulate him.

He had not made it public at first, but couldn't help but be curious about how they knew it. After some inquiries, he learned that it was the servant they sent to supervise the Quyuan Zatan who overheard the conversation between Jia Qiang and Lai Sheng and learned that Zhang Yunyi had taken a concubine. He went back to report it and then rushed over after hearing the news.

Although they came uninvited, one should not hit someone who smiles at you. And since they came to congratulate him, Zhang Yunyi had to give them a good reception.

Several people were clamoring to watch the newly adapted Legend of the White Snake, so Zhang Yun逸 had no choice but to call a young actor to perform and watched two shows with them.

After finishing dinner and seeing off the guests, he was anxious to go to the bridal chamber. Thinking that Jia Qiang would be able to return safely, he did not rush to report, thinking that Zhen Shiyin should be fine, so he waited until today.

"Mr. Zhen, everything is fine. Although Jiangnan is a bit chaotic, Jinling and Suzhou are already rich, and the gentry have set up many porridge stalls, so it's not too chaotic."

After dinner and listening to Jia Qiang’s report, Zhang Yunyi nodded.

"This time, you have done a good job. It's almost the New Year. Go to Yu Lu and get one thousand taels of silver!"

"Thank you Uncle Yi for the reward!"

Jia Qiang bowed and thanked him immediately, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yesterday the old lady asked about Grandpa... I wanted to bring him back, but I never thought he would leave without saying goodbye..."

Although Zhang Yun逸 did not ask him to take Jia Zheng back to Beijing before leaving, even if something happened, it would be Jia Zheng's own fault, but the servant that Zhang Yun逸 arranged to go had asked him for help after all.

Fearing that Lady Jia would complain to Zhang Yun逸, Jia Qiang did not dare to hide anything and carefully repeated what Lady Jia had asked him yesterday.

After hearing this, Zhang Yun逸 suddenly realized.

No wonder Mrs. Wang was so weird yesterday, saying that Grandmother Jia wanted to host a banquet for him and asked him to take some time to come to her house.

He just knew that the Spring Festival was approaching and Jia's mother wanted to discuss the schedule for the Spring Festival with him. It turned out that she was worried about Jia Zheng's safety. Under the pretext of inviting guests, she asked Mrs. Wang to humble herself and ask her to send someone to look for her beloved son.

When he heard that Jia Zheng might encounter an accident, he did not feel much joy.

He didn't care about Jia Zheng's life or death, and he was even more unwilling to mobilize a large number of troops for him during the New Year's Day.

In fact, it would be best if this conspicuous package was killed, but he had no way to vent his bad taste, and he was somewhat bored.

However, although I didn't have much expectations for the first half of Mrs. Wang's life as a daughter-in-law, I was quite excited about her second half as a mother-in-law.

While thinking about how to deal with Jia's mother, he waved his hand at Jia Qiang and said without comment, "I understand. You can go down first!"
