The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 617: Test the Quality

"Well……"

In the side courtyard of the hot spring villa, in the room where Yuchuan once lived, Xiren, in a thin gauze skirt, leaned against the head of the bed, holding up the collar of her gauze skirt to let the air in, while her breath was as sweet as orchid and emitting hot air.

The hot summer is already scorching hot, and this hot spring resort is overly humid.

It was as if I was in a steamer, making my body wet and sticky, and there was no place that felt comfortable.

Fortunately, she is the only one living in this huge villa, so she can dress lightly and doesn't have to worry.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive even a day.

However, she had already moved in for half a month, but no one cared about her. Thinking of Jia Baoyu's defensive eyes, she couldn't help but frown slightly. She felt more and more irritated. She reached out and gently stroked the sweat on her forehead, her eyes revealing a bit of hesitation and helplessness.

She thought to herself, I don’t know when these days will end.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the house.

As dusk was approaching, she thought it was Auntie Wu coming to bring her dinner, and she didn't bother to cover herself, so she just got up from the bed.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he bumped into Zhang Yunyi, who was wearing a python robe with arrow sleeves.

"Yi... Master Yi..."

Xiren was stunned. Her face, which was already slightly red from the heat, became even redder. She hurriedly crossed her hands on her shoulders and said incoherently, "Your servant...your servant...please, sir..."

Zhang Yunyi stared at Xiren, the thin gauze skirt that clung to her body and was so transparent that one could almost see her skin, and interrupted her mercilessly, "What's the matter? Miss Xi has only lived here for half a month, and you have even forgotten how to serve others?"

Then he opened his arms.

Xiren was slightly stunned, and quickly put down her hands on her shoulders. She reached out to Zhang Yunyi's neck with trembling hands and slowly unbuttoned it.

Then he moved it all the way down, and when it reached his waist, he hesitated for a moment, then grasped the jade belt around Zhang Yunyi's waist, slowly untied it, and placed it on his arm.

Fang then took off Zhang Yunyi's outer clothes, turned around and put the dragon robe and jade belt on the clothes hanger inside the house.

She was feeling a little overwhelmed, not knowing what to do next, but when she slowly turned around, she saw Zhang Yunyi, who was only wearing a thin shirt, had come to her bedside and sat down.

Then, he leaned back against the head of the bed, put his right leg over his left leg, and looked at her with a smile.

Xiren took two quick steps forward, and fell to her knees with a thump. She kowtowed to the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Master! I know what to say and what not to say, and I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"

Zhang Yunyi did not stop her. He looked at the slightly bent back and the large area of ​​white skin that was vaguely visible through the veil sticking to the back.

I secretly complained in my heart that I was afraid that you had done a lot of snitching, but you just knew how to judge the situation.

But he said, "You don't have to be nervous. Whether it's said or not, it's Baoyu who is nervous, not me. There's no need to show your loyalty to me!"

"This..." Xiren was stunned.

Zhang Yunyi continued, "I'm not afraid to tell you that Baoyu has changed his personality now. His mind is full of Jiang Yuhan. He got married just to hide it from others. He didn't tell the old lady because he didn't want to worry her.

You have been serving Baoyu all the time, so you must know that what I said is true. Even if you report it to the old lady, I am afraid..."

Having said this, he licked his lips and said nothing more, but the unspoken meaning in his words was evident.

At the same time, the fingers on the thighs began to tap rhythmically.

Xiren shuddered when she heard that, and kowtowed heavily, saying, "I dare not! Please understand, sir!"

"Stop knocking your head, or you'll disfigure yourself. Lift your head up!"

"Huh!~" Xiren responded hurriedly and slowly stood up.

Zhang Yunyi looked at her meaningfully, then said slowly, "Of course, it would be best if you could understand! They say that Miss Xi is the most sensible person, so it's worth my efforts to prevent Baoyu from leading you into the fire pit!"

Hearing this, Xiren's movement to stand up faltered slightly, and then she asked cautiously, "Master... what do you mean?"

She was used to being cautious, so even though Zhang Yunyi was so confident, she was still worried that he was testing her.

“Hahaha!” Zhang Yunyi sneered, “Baoyu even married a wife to hide his identity, leaving you behind…”

He deliberately paused here for a moment, and then said: "It is better to keep you, the future concubine, by my side and use her to please the one I love..." Although, in the sequel, Xiren's marriage to Jiang Yuhan was the work of Lady Wang and Aunt Xue.

But Zhang Yun逸 felt that Jia Baoyu was more likely.

After all, the red handkerchief was forced upon Xiren by Jia Baoyu, and he had betrayed Jiang Yuhan when he visited Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

The potential for guilt is huge.

Of course, the truth is not important, Xiren certainly did not dare to confront Jia Baoyu. You know, the actors of this era were the lowest of the lowest classes.

Marrying an actor is worse than marrying a eunuch.

What's more, he was treated as a plaything to please actors?

Xiren's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she said incoherently: "Master... Madam... I am Madam..."

"Madam, it's true that you've been promised by your wife, but Baoyu doesn't even want to marry his wife, so how could he treat a maid like you differently? As for Madam... She even lets Baoyu take care of the wedding ceremony, so how can she care about you?"

Xiren's back, which had just straightened up, suddenly softened, and she collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

Her biggest goal in life was to become a concubine. She was shocked by the bad news and was at a loss for a moment.

Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly, and a look of determination flashed in her tearful eyes. This time she did not kowtow heavily, but just slowly bowed her body.

Her voice trembled slightly, but her tone was extremely firm as she said, "Thank you very much, sir, for saving me from this difficult time. I have no way to repay you, so I will just work like a cow or a horse for you to command!"

Xiren knew very well that there was no kindness without reason in this world.

She had no connection with Zhang Yunyi, so his willingness to take action was worth further investigation.

Originally, she was somewhat gloating about Qingwen going to the East Palace.

But now, one is gaining while the other is losing. Not to mention that she is only a prospective concubine, even if she is a real concubine, she is far inferior to Qingwen, the maidservant beside Zhang Yunyi.

Although she also had some extravagant hopes in her heart, her family knew her own affairs, and it was almost known to everyone that she served Jia Baoyu.

She asked herself honestly, she had always done things correctly in Rongguo Mansion. There were many maids in Zhang Yunyi's mansion, but most of them were pretty and not capable of taking responsibility. There were really few head maids who could stand on their own.

If you can switch to the East Palace, it may not be a blessing in disguise.

After Zhang Yun逸 entered the room, he acted like the master, so people misunderstood his intention and did not dare to act rashly.

However, even though I had this guess in my mind, I couldn't help feeling anxious before I had confirmation.

However, she didn't worry for long before she heard Zhang Yunyi say with some praise: "It is said that Miss Xi is beautiful and intelligent, and considerate. It turns out that what they say is true. Get up!"

Zhang Yun逸 looked at Xiren, who was lying on the ground, with ill intent, and thought to himself that talking to a smart person really saved him a lot of trouble.

"Huh!~" Xiren's worry turned into joy, she quickly agreed and slowly straightened up.

She did not stand up directly from the ground as Zhang Yunyi said, but walked two steps on her knees to the edge of the bed, clenched her fists slightly, and said carefully: "I will massage your legs to relieve your fatigue!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi suddenly sat up, raised his hand to hook her chin, and said teasingly: "As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine. Second Madam Bao hasn't married yet, so I have no way of knowing whether she is virtuous or not. I have a say in the mansion, so it's not that I can't help you to secure the position of concubine, but..."

Zhang Yunyi paused for a moment, then said meaningfully: "Before that, we have to test Miss Xi's quality first, then we can say whether you are qualified for the job!"

Xiren was stunned when she heard this, and her fist that was about to hit Zhang Yunyi's leg paused.

For a moment, she felt mixed emotions and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

However, even though his mind was in a state of confusion, his hands did not hesitate at all. He suddenly loosened his clenched fists, grabbed the tie at the collar, and pulled it out with force.

She didn't forget to say it, with a hint of resentment: "Then I'll trouble you, sir, to examine this servant..."
