The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 652 Kneel down
Comforted Shi Xiangyun.

The next day, Zhang Yun逸 used the same trick again and sneaked into Qiu Shuang Zhai.

As soon as they met, he said nothing, but put on an anxious look, hugged Tanchun tightly in his arms, and touched her all over.

After a while, Fang deliberately said with a heavy breath: "Today... I came here specially to tell my sister the good news..."

"Good news?" Tanchun squeezed her arms between the two of them, creating some space. Her eyes became clearer, and she looked at Zhang Yunyi and asked, "Good news, Brother Yi should go to Hengwu Garden, why are you here with my sister?"

The shock on Zhang Yunyi's face flashed away, and then he seemed to wake up, grabbed Tanchun's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are wrong. Even if I have many wives and concubines, there are some things that I will only share with you."

At this point, he seemed to be lost in memories, muttering to himself, "Sister, you understand my feelings best. If that incident hadn't happened, how could I have been willing to let you be my mistress?"

"This..." Tanchun was moved when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with ripples, her chest was heaving, her breathing became rapid, and she said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that Brother Yi... wants..."

Zhang Yunyi changed the subject and interrupted, "Although it was a mistake and I had to let my sister down, I also hope to make her look glorious as much as possible."

Seeing that Tanchun seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, he quickly poured a basin of cold water on her and brought her back to reality.

Without waiting for Tanchun to ask, he continued, "I came here today to tell you that there has been another achievement in the study of immortality. This time it is a great event that concerns the foundation of the country and benefits the country and the people..."

Then, Zhang Yun逸 simplified the explanation and explained the purpose of the water pump to Tanchun.

If these things about the court and the study of immortals were told to Lin Daiyu, she might not be interested. Perhaps only Baochai might be interested, but she would not ask about the details of the matter. However, Tanchun listened with great interest.

He would interrupt from time to time and ask a few questions.

Zhang Yunyi answered all of them patiently, and finally said with a smile: "This water pump is related to the foundation of the country. After a few days, when the finished product is completed and presented to the emperor, I am afraid that the third sister may change her name and call Brother Yi the Duke of the State."

Although his purpose of coming to Qiushuangzhai was the same as that of going to Tuobi Villa, he did not continue the strategy he used towards Shi Xiangyun.

Not to mention, Tanchun's little trick was still secret and Zhang Yunyi had no plan to let her marry him now. It was just that her personality was different from Shi Xiangyun's, so the strategy would naturally vary from person to person.

Since Shi Xiangyun's situation had already been made public, he appeased her by offering her the right to choose.

As for Tanchun, she caters to her wishes and shares with her the joy of achieving success and fame.

Therefore, not only did he not mention the matter of taking Xue Baochai as his concubine, but he talked about the upcoming reward.

These words were the perfect remedy for the problem. Tanchun squatted slightly, made a gesture of greeting and said, "Yi... Duke, I am honored to meet you!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi grabbed the two round petals behind her and she could not complete the ceremony.

This time, Tanchun did not resist at all. Instead, she opened her arms and hugged Zhang Yunyi tightly. She buried her cheek in his chest and rubbed it again and again. Then she whispered, "Brother Yi, are you planning to wait until you are conferred the title of Duke so that your sister can marry into the family in a grand manner?"

Zhang Yunyi thought to himself, if that’s the case, why should I go through so much trouble?

Although he was thinking this in his heart, he put on an affectionate face and said, "I regard my sister as a close friend with whom we can make progress together. If I only consider my own career and ignore my sister's feelings, wouldn't that be a betrayal of her love? How can I be said to be considering my sister?"

Tanchun's eyes were filled with deep emotions, but she turned and looked up at Zhang Yunyi with some confusion, and asked doubtfully: "Then...Brother Yi?"

"Although I don't care about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, the current environment is like this. Those people outside are short-sighted and don't know that my sister is extremely talented, has good character and appearance, and has outstanding personality..."

While stroking Tanchun's back, Zhang Yunyi spoke slowly and leisurely, "Although I cannot change your background, I can find another way to help you rise above the tide... Aunt Zhao's side is a foregone conclusion, and I was thinking of giving Huan... Lao San, some merits to you. That way, when you marry into the family, people won't make up stories about you using your beauty to please others, and you can be considered glorious." He spoke too quickly and almost called out Huan'er, so he had to bite the bullet and call her Huan Lao San.

Fortunately, Tanchun didn't care much about the name "Huan Lao San". Besides, she was already confused by Zhang Yunyi's teasing, and after hearing these words, she was already dazzled.

She couldn't help but say emotionally: "Brother Yi cares so much about me, how can I feel at ease?"

She paused, a trace of confusion flashed across her face as she said, "It's enough for my sister to know that Brother Yi has good intentions. Brother Yi is in a high position and has great power. How can he convince the people if he rewards people without any merit? It's better not to be partial to me..."

"How can you say it's useless?" Zhang Yunyi said with a smile, "Sister, you're really worrying too much. How could I not consider these things? Immortal studies have the responsibility of research and development, and I don't lack one or two merits. Just pick a recipe and give your brother some advice..."

For the two sellers...

Well...Tanchun and Aunt Zhao cannot be said to be two families. It can only be said that they are between mother and daughter, and they benefit from both sides.

However, Zhang Yun逸 was not at all embarrassed about this, but was rather complacent about it.

Although he knew that Aunt Zhao and Tanchun's mother and daughter did not have a harmonious relationship and might not keep each other informed, he still reminded them based on the principle of being cautious: "This matter concerns whether I am fair in my dealings. I only told you, don't tell anyone."

As for Aunt Zhao, although he had not said hello, given Aunt Zhao's desire for her son to become successful, she would probably not spread the word that it was he who made the contribution to Jia Huan.

Tanchun nodded, then asked curiously, "What kind of strange thing is the prescription that Brother Yi mentioned?"

"Cement..." Zhang Yunyi didn't keep anyone in suspense and blurted out.

"Cement?" Tanchun frowned and asked in confusion, "Clear water can be used to wash the hat, turbid water can be used to wash the feet, so how can water become mud?"

"Well..."

This was the name used in the previous life, and Zhang Yun逸 did not think much about it and continued to use the name from his previous life. Now when asked by Tanchun, he did not know how to explain it for a moment.

However, he naturally could not tell Tanchun the whole story. While he was thinking about how to explain, he raised his hand and hooked Tanchun's raised chin, putting on an unfathomable look.

He looked at Tanchun with a half-smile and said, "This is a national treasure, and it is no less important than a water pump. If you want me to tell you everything, sister, ..."

As he said this, he rubbed his thumb back and forth on Tanchun's lower lip.

When Tanchun heard this, her face immediately flushed. She pursed her lips, then looked at Zhang Yunyi firmly, and said word by word: "Then Brother Yi, you must keep your word!"

"That's natural..."

As Zhang Yunyi spoke, he turned around with Tanchun in his arms and retreated to the bed behind him.

Zhang Yunyi fell onto the bed and lay down with his arms and legs spread out.

Tanchun, who was lying on his chest, struggled to stand up.
