The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 636: Drawing Cakes and Baochan
Inside the Yihong Courtyard.

Qiu Wen and She Yue stopped Xia Jingui and her servant and said with a bow, "Grandma, you can't go out at this moment!"

"Yes! Madam said that you can go anywhere on weekdays, but you can't bump into Master Yi when he comes. He is running in the garden right now. Madam, please don't make things difficult for us."

Although Mrs. Wang had her own opinion of this daughter-in-law, she even had the idea of ​​asking Jia Baoyu to divorce his wife and remarry.

But after all, it's still a vague thing, so we have to take some precautions.

Although it was not easy to say these words directly to the two maids, the reasons were ready.

It is understandable that Jia Baoyu has not even met this second wife of Bao yet, and has not bowed in the hall or lifted her veil.

Xia Jingui thought to herself, if the Marquis hadn't come, I would have been too lazy to go out.

But he said, "Why? Am I so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter that I dare to offend the Marquis?"

Musk Moon said hurriedly, "That's not what we meant. It's just that Madam said that you moved in and haven't had time to greet Master Yi yet. He hasn't met Grandma yet. It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.

Grandma, if you have anything to do, you can ask us to do it. Master Yi will only run two laps. If you want to go out and relax, wait until Master Yi leaves. We dare not stop you. "

Xia Jingui narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiu Wen and She Yue who were blocking her way.

She and Baochan were unfamiliar with the place. Although they had moved into the Grand View Garden for more than half a month, all the servants in the Garden were carefully selected by Lai Da at the request of Zhang Yun逸.

In addition, Zhang Yunyi's whereabouts were erratic, so let alone encountering him by chance, even his shadow had not been seen once.

Just now, if the maid from Yihong Courtyard had not mentioned in casual conversation that Zhang Yunyi was jogging in the garden again, she would not have known about it.

Hearing that Zhang Yunyi was only running two laps, she was afraid that she would be delayed too long, so she had to compromise and said, "I just want to go out for some fresh air, and go to the Red Fragrance Garden to pick some fresh flower petals for bathing. Since you all said so, it's okay to ask Baochan to go, right?"

Seeing Qiu Wen and She Yue still hesitating, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't understand this. My family has been managing these flowers and plants for generations. At this time of year, if they are exposed to the sun for too long, the petals will no longer be fresh. Otherwise, why would I rush out so early in the morning?"

Musk Moon and the other person looked at each other and then dodged away.

After all, Mrs. Wang only asked them to prevent Xia Jingui from meeting other men, but she didn't say that they should also be on guard against the maids.

In addition, although Xia Jingui was talking nonsense, the Xia family really did this. Qiu Wen and She Yue didn't understand these professional knowledge and were really fooled by her.

"Go! If you meet the Marquis, remember to say hello to him for me!"

Xia Jingui winked at Baochan, who hurriedly walked out in small steps.

After leaving Yihong Courtyard and stepping onto the road in front of Qinfang Creek, Baochan looked around hurriedly.

Just then, Zhang Yun逸 was seen jogging along the bamboo fence path opposite, towards the Qinfang Gate Bridge.

Baochan hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran towards the Bee Waist Bridge in the opposite direction.

She was afraid of being seen, so she didn't dare to chase him, let alone speak, and could only block him in the opposite direction.

However, the west side of the garden is not like the east side. People live everywhere, except for the northwest corner after Daoxiang Village, which is remote and deserted.

Although Zhang Yunyi's journey was a little longer and took many detours, he jogged all the way and Baochan didn't dare to stroll leisurely.

After running all the way, Baochan finally passed Daoxiang Village. She was already sweating and panting from exhaustion.

But before she could take out her handkerchief, wipe the sweat from her head and take a breath, she saw Zhang Yunyi running down Liaoting Huashu.

Baochan quickly raised her sleeves and wiped her forehead, then she took two steps at a time and walked to the front of the Red Fragrance Garden. She bowed deeply to Zhang Yunyi who was coming towards her, "My Lord!"

Unexpectedly, my legs were already sore after running all the way. I didn't feel it even when I was standing. I bowed deeply, but my legs suddenly became weak and I cried "ouch" and fell to the ground.

Baochan was a little dazed when she saw Zhang Yunyi quickly step forward, lean over, quickly reach out his hands, grab her armpits on both sides, and lift her up from the ground. With two strong and powerful hands holding her armpits, Baochan's already sore legs became even weaker.

But the heat waves gushing with male hormones kept drilling into her nose, and her heartbeat, which had already accelerated after her exercise, began to beat even faster.

Just as she was in a trance, she heard Zhang Yunyi's voice: "Why are you so careless? Hey... Which courtyard are you from?"

Not to mention that Zhang Yunyi had already met Baochan, the maids in the Grand View Garden would not use the title of Marquis.

He had very good eyesight. From his high vantage point, he had already seen Baochan who was hurrying towards him.

I originally wanted to see what she was up to, but I didn't expect this unexpected thing to happen.

Therefore, Zhang Yun逸 pretended not to know him and asked even though he knew the answer, just to get some benefits first.

However, Baochan obviously didn't think so.

From the moment she fell to the moment Zhang Yunyi helped her up, it was all done in one go. She couldn't help but have some wild thoughts and felt that Zhang Yunyi treated her differently.

Now, after hearing this, I can’t help feeling a little disappointed.

She raised her head and realized that Zhang Yunyi was looking at her with a little surprise.

Baochan subconsciously clasped his hands together, but ignored the fact that Zhang Yunyi had not let go, and actually clamped his palms under his armpits.

Suddenly, she was at a loss as to what to do and said, "Your servant Baochan... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Zhang Yunyi seemed not to notice anything was wrong, and there was no embarrassment on his face. He said in a friendly manner: "New here? I'm not a cannibal, so why are you so scared and sweating so much? See if you can stand steadily."

As he spoke, he shrugged his nose, slowly loosened his hand, and said calmly, "Which courtyard are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Seeing Zhang Yunyi withdraw his hand, Baochan's mood finally calmed down a little, and she hurriedly replied: "I...I am from Yihong Courtyard, a maid who came with the young lady as a dowry."

"Oh!~ Do you live in Yihong Courtyard? No wonder I haven't seen you before." Zhang Yunyi showed a hint of realization, then turned curious and asked, "Is the master so scary?"

"My Lord, you are so majestic without even getting angry. I...I am so nervous. I am sorry to make you laugh!"

Her words were not entirely flattery. She could still clearly remember Zhang Yunyi carrying Prince Beijing like a chicken.

When Baochan saw him, she felt a little nervous.

Zhang Yunyi said noncommittally, "Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? What are you doing?"

"Slave...slave girl, come and pick some petals for bathing!"

Although the incident happened suddenly and Xia Jingui did not have time to point it out, Baochan had followed her since childhood and could see some signs.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunyi looked at Baochan meaningfully.

This statement was obviously inappropriate. Even if Xia Jingui really gave such an order, she could have just made up an excuse instead of saying something obviously ambiguous like "taking a bath".

His heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "On the wedding day, was it you who was with your young lady?"

"Yes! The young lady has only one personal maidservant by her side!"

Zhang Yunyi glanced around, then suddenly raised his hand, lifted Baochan's chin, and said with a smile: "Since you are a personal maid, why do you still do such rough work? Just find someone else to do it. I saw that you seemed a little aggrieved that day..."

At this point, he pinched Baochan's pointed chin, slowly lifted it up, and said meaningfully: "Miss Duoqing is sharing the same bed with you, how can I bear to let you fold the quilt and make the bed, and do these rough work, it's really unfair to you!"
