The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 689 Good stuff

The Rongguo Mansion chose Zhang Yunyi as the first choice for visiting during the Spring Festival, and the others were naturally no exception.

Not only did the Jia and Xue families from Rongguo Mansion come with their families, as well as the brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding and their wives, but even Xing Zhong and Fu Shi, whoever had something to do with it, came as well.

As soon as Grandmother Jia saw Zhang Yunyi, she took his hand and thanked him profusely: "I'm sorry for the trouble you took. I also specially arranged for Baoyu to go to Tianjin to relax. Now he is finally well!"

"Heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it, and Quyuan Zatan is going to open a branch in Tianjin..."

Zhang Yunyi replied to Grandmother Jia indifferently, patted Jia Baoyu on the head, put on a fatherly look, and said with a smile: "Now that you have a family, you should understand things. Don't make the old lady worry anymore."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people who were accompanying him intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Wang seemed to understand his look and said quickly, "I should have brought my wife with me, but as luck would have it, she is not feeling well."

The last time Xue Baochai got married, Xia Jingui wished she could take the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Zhang Yun逸's elegance.

This time, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu wanted to bring her here, but Zhang Yun逸 had not informed them yet.

This made Xia Jingui think that it was the mother and son who were fishing for her, so she simply refused to go with them.

When she said this, Jia Baoyu immediately looked fawning and nodded repeatedly like a chicken eating rice.

Zhang Yunyi then remembered that he had overlooked the fact that Xia Jingui was still pretending to be sick for him.

However, in front of everyone, he naturally couldn't show it, so he just nodded to show his understanding, and said: "There are no outsiders here, you can take the old lady and the wife to the sun room to bask in the sun!"

Yuanchun, Yingchun and Baochai were brought to the mansion early to celebrate the New Year.

Zhang Yunyi asked Xing Xiuyan, Yuanchun and others to greet everyone, and he returned to the front yard.

Things are different now. Yuanchun, Yingchun and Baochai have already married into the family.

As for the rest, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and Baoqin, their fates have already been decided, whether overtly or covertly.

Even Lin Daiyu has already settled down and is content with her. For someone who is used to doing things behind the scenes, there is naturally no need for him to always stay surrounded by women.

On the contrary, in the front yard, in addition to these families, there were also some subordinates and colleagues who came to pay New Year's greetings and needed to be greeted.

People like King Zhongshun, Zhou Xianzu, Qi Yuandao, and even Wang Hui and Zhang Songyuan all arranged their time separately.

As for ordinary subordinates and colleagues, it is naturally impossible to have deep conversations with them. Most of them just show up, throw in their New Year gifts, and then leave in a hurry.

By the beginning of the morning, things had calmed down.

Zhang Yunyi then arrived at the side hall where the Shi brothers and others were.

As soon as he stepped into the door, the two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding came to greet him: "Yun Yi! Yun girl is not young anymore, you see?"

“No hurry, no hurry!” Zhang Yunyi waved his hand, sat down on the main seat, and said, “Last year, sister Yun came of age, but I happened to have too many things to do and was unable to properly prepare for her birthday. I promised to give her a good birthday…”

"This..." The two brothers of the Shi family looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces seemed a little awkward.

Zhang Yunyi picked up the cup on the coffee table, took a sip and said, "I heard that you are looking for a job outside the capital before the New Year. Where do you want to go? You might as well tell me."

Zhang Yun逸's intelligence network has achieved some results. He had heard about the actions of the Shi brothers years ago.

There were too many things taking up my attention at the time and I couldn't take care of it for a while.

Although this was the first time that the Shi brothers had confirmed his reason, they had already heard it from Shi Xiangyun countless times.

However, they had made a lot of money from Zhang Yunyi, and the matter of Shi Xiangyun was still unresolved. They didn't know how to ask for help. Unexpectedly, before they could even open their mouths, Zhang Yunyi asked directly where they wanted to go.

Shi Nai bowed quickly and said, "Jiangxi is short of a governor. If Yun Yi can help..."

"It's too far over there, and you're not young anymore, why bother with that hardship?"

Zhang Yunyi said without question: "I think it's better to stay close to home and be an inspector in Tianjin. Although the official position is one level lower, it is close to the capital. Minister Zhou is vigorously promoting the reform of the three judicial departments. It's a time when people are needed. I can still have a say. Tianjin is also the key to my Tiangong Academy's layout..."

He had long planned to use Tianjin as his rear base, and although he had made many arrangements, it was easy to place lower-level personnel, but it was impossible to place official people in one go.

Although the Shi brothers have limited abilities and are suspected of nepotism, they have titles after all, so it won't be difficult to accomplish things as long as they lend a little help.

At this time, Zhang Yun逸 could only consider his position and not his ability.

Moreover, he could use this relationship to arrange staff for Shi Nai so that he could give him instructions in person.

Although it was a little short of what he had hoped for, it was still a good result. Shi Nai hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Then it's all up to Yun Yi to arrange."

"Ok!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, then turned to look at Jia Lian and said, "If I remember correctly, Second Brother Lian still holds the honorary title of Fifth Rank Tongzhi, right? It just so happens that the manager of the Maritime Customs in Tianjin is too pedantic..."

"No, no, no..." Jia Lian waved his hands repeatedly, "You know I don't have the energy to do that now. I'd rather stay at home and feel comfortable..."

Although power is the best aphrodisiac for men, in a case like Jia Lian's, he has indeed lost his ambition.

However, when Zhang Yun逸 employed people, he didn't care whether he was willing or not.

"I asked you to go to Tianjin to be the manager of the Maritime Customs, not to do odd jobs. How can it be worse than Beijing? Besides, my second sister-in-law gets a share of the guano business. If you take up the post at the Maritime Customs, you can take care of it. You can't just take the benefits, right?"

At this point, he paused and added, "It was only after my second sister-in-law begged me for a long time that I finally agreed to her request. It also took me a lot of effort to get through the difficulties. Why are you giving up now?"

It was naturally impossible for Wang Xifeng to ask for an official position for Jia Lian, but it was also impossible for Zhang Yun逸 to tell Jia Lian his real purpose, so he made up a lie to finalize the matter first, and then went to Wang Xifeng to plug the loophole.

"This..." Jia Lian believed it, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he quickly complained, "Don't you know me? Whether I'm at home or not, it won't be a problem..."

Having said this, he paused and glanced awkwardly at Jia She, the Shi brothers, Fu Shi and others present.

Jia She, who had long lost his patience, shouted, "You are a useless piece of shit, a hopeless piece of shit. Yun Yi is showing you a favor by giving you a job, and you are still trying to make excuses!"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table and was about to throw it at Jia Lian sitting opposite him, but when he raised it above his head, he realized that he was in Zhang Yunyi's house.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma and ended up getting covered in tea.

"Alright!" Zhang Yunyi shouted, "This isn't a forced sale. Second Brother Lian just has some concerns. Why are you doing this?"

"Hey! Hey!" Jia She put down the teacup angrily, and did not forget to glare at Jia Lian.

"Brother Lian, you misunderstood. I know you are worried about messing up the job, but don't worry. I will assign two subordinates to you. If there is anything, just leave it to them. You don't need to do everything yourself!"

Zhang Yunyi glanced at Jia Lian, who looked timid, and said something to comfort him.

Seeing that he still looked reluctant, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he winked at him and said, "The matter you asked me to do last time has come to fruition. I'll have something good to give you later!"
