The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 646 Hand in Hand

Ningguo Mansion, Dengxian Pavilion, study.

"Come! Cousin will teach you..."

Zhang Yunyi, who was standing in front of the desk, stretched out his arms, reached around Xichun from behind, held her right hand that was holding the pen, and said, "This pencil is different from a brush. This is how you hold it."

The pump will not be unveiled to the public until September.

Everyone in the Xianxue School was doing their job and the school was thriving. Zhang Yunyi finally found time to guide Xichun in sketching.

Originally, Xue Baoqin had agreed to study with Xichun.

But after what happened last time, she didn't feel comfortable coming along, so she made things convenient for Zhang Yunyi.

Xichun was quite uncomfortable with Zhang Yunyi's intimate behavior and hesitated for a moment, saying in a trembling voice: "I... I just watch..."

Zhang Yunyi said without hesitation: "It's easy to learn how to hold a pen, but your cousin needs to teach you how to use it. Come, don't be distracted, and experience it well... After you have learned it well, change into men's clothes, and go out with your cousin in the future to help take notes..."

Zhang Yun逸 guided them while at the same time misleading them.

"A woman dressed as a man?" Xichun looked confused.

"What? Don't want to?"

"I..." Xichun hesitated, "Since ancient times, women have never left the house. Disguising as a man is just a story from those books. Don't say that the old lady won't agree..."

"I will go and talk to the old lady."

It's really a real-life version of "Why not eat meat?" Zhang Yunyi said unhappily, "How can ordinary people have such particularities? The spinning mill of Tiangongyuan employs many women from the common people. When you have learned enough, I will take you to see it."

Whether it is a spinning mill or a weaving bureau, although they both employ women, they only employ women.

Although Zhang Yun逸 had replaced the original with the new concept, Xichun was unaware of it.

Although she was cold in nature, she was only a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old after all, and it was inevitable that she had a longing for the outside world.

In particular, Zhang Yunyi recently brought back a few bicycles. Although she was embarrassed to ride one herself because of the indecent riding posture, she asked Ruhua to learn how to ride one.

The last time I went out for a spring outing, my interest in the outside world was aroused and became more and more intense.

Zhang Yunyi had just started from the basics and progressed to the advanced, correcting Xichun's brushstrokes and just drawing two cubes before he could continue teaching in depth.

But she heard a nervous voice coming from outside: "Madam... Aunt You, the master is teaching Miss how to paint!"

Although she didn't call out Quanhu, Youshi could tell that she had changed her words at the last minute, and said unhappily, "It's just a painting. When can't you learn it? An angel has come up ahead, and the master has something else to do."

Xia Shouzhong did not come with an imperial decree, so he was certainly not an angel. However, although Youshi was used to being cautious, she did not like Xichun, her former sister-in-law.

Therefore, he spoke with a sense of urgency.

Hearing Youshi's voice coming from outside, Xichun's wrist trembled, and the tip of the pen scratched across the white paper, leaving a deep black mark.

She had no time to feel sorry for the result she had ruined, but she saw Youshi knocking on the door and coming in, saying, "Master! Eunuch Xia is here to bring you something, he's right in front!"

She automatically ignored Xichun in the room and only spoke to Zhang Yunyi.

Knowing that the medicine had been found, Zhang Yunyi could only withdraw his hand in dismay and said seriously: "You can get familiar with it. My cousin has something to do and needs to go to the front... Hmm?"

The first sentence was an explanation, and the second sentence expressed dissatisfaction with not getting a response.

Xichun, who was standing with her back to him, heard this and could only turn around reluctantly and said, "Oh!"

From the corner of her eye, she saw Youshi's playful face, which immediately aroused her rebellious psychology. She pouted her lips, raised her head and chest, and took the opportunity when Zhang Yunyi turned around to glare at Youshi in a demonstrative manner and retaliate.

You Shi was not happy, but she couldn't mock Xichun in front of Zhang Yunyi, so she could only throw her handkerchief and leave with Zhang Yunyi in a huff. Zhang Yunyi came to the front yard, and after a round of greetings, Xia Shouzhong took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Yunyi, saying a little embarrassedly: "This prescription has long been lost, and only these three pills are found!"

The emperor was extremely wealthy, so naturally a small amount of materials was not worth mentioning. Taoist Chongxu saw that his method of catering to the emperor's taste had paid off, so he spared no effort to refine a large furnace.

However, Emperor Wanlong was very proud of his limited possessions and refused to give more. He was only willing to give Zhang Yunyi three pills.

Xia Shouzhong also felt that it was a bit unreasonable. He originally thought that he could come when Zhang Yunyi was not at home and just leave. Unfortunately, Zhang Yunyi happened to be on vacation. Although Youshi did not know what he had sent, she warmly tried to keep him.

He also said frankly that Zhang Yun逸 happened to be at home and he must thank him in person.

Although Zhang Yunyi knew the truth, he had achieved his goal. He pretended to be ignorant and said, "I can't save face. These three pills are enough to deal with it. Thank you for your help, eunuch!"

As he spoke, he took out a silver note from his pocket and stuffed it into Xia Shouzhong's hand.

It is easy to meet the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with little devils. As the close companion of Emperor Wanlong, Xia Shouzhong may not be able to accomplish anything, but he is good at making trouble.

Before this, although he had considered the emperor's health and tried his best to control the timing when asking for medicine, the matter had leaked out after all. As the person in charge, Xia Shouzhong had to report to the emperor and was bound to be reprimanded. Naturally, Zhang Yun逸 had to make up for it.

Sure enough, after glancing at the banknote in his hand, Xia Shouzhong's face looked much better. He put the banknote away without leaving a trace, and said politely, "My Lord, you are too polite!"

"Of course, of course. This medicine is extremely valuable, and the Xue family is not short of money. I am just being generous to others!"

To put on a full show, Zhang Yun逸 brought out Xue Pan, who was taking the blame.

"My Lord, please stay!" After finishing his work, Xia Shouzhong had to go back to report, so he quickly said goodbye.

Zhang Yun逸 did not try to keep him. After sending Xia Shouzhong away, he went to Zhen Shiyin with the box in his pocket.

Zhen Shiyin opened the box and asked puzzledly: "What is this?"

He was familiar with pharmacology, and although he was not sure about the effects of the pill, he could make some guesses based on the taste alone.

Zhang Yun逸 did not intend to conceal it, but he was unable to judge whether he could obtain it smoothly, so he did not go to find Zhen Shiyin in advance.

At this moment, the medicine was already in hand, but he did not hide it.

"This medicine should be taken by the emperor. I finally got it with great difficulty. Please, sir, carefully test the ingredients in this medicine."

The intelligence system was entrusted to Zhen Shiyin, so it was naturally impossible to guard against him in these small matters. Zhang Yunyi explained everything in detail, including the cause and effect, as well as his own thoughts, and only omitted the involvement of the two wives of the Xue family.

"This..." Zhen Shiyin was stunned after hearing this, "Could it be that the emperor stopped attending court because of this?"

He sorted out the information and immediately made an association when he heard it.

This coincided with Zhang Yunyi's guess. He nodded and said, "Probably! I was just guessing, so I took the trouble to ask you to verify it."

At this point, Zhang Yunyi paused and said cryptically: "Sir, you know the situation well. No matter what, you have to know it well!"

Zhen Shiyin also realized the seriousness of the situation and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Yun Yi, leave this matter to me. There will be a result in a few days."

Zhang Yunyi was quite confident about Zhen Shiyin's professional level. He nodded and chatted with Zhen Shiyin about family matters. Then he remembered that Xichun was still in Dengxian Pavilion, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

However, when he returned to Dengxian Pavilion, he found that the study was empty.

Qingwen in the room reported: "Did the master make an agreement with the fourth young lady? As soon as you left, the fourth young lady returned right after you..."

She paused and added, "The fourth girl said that the master asked her to go back and get familiar with the place."
