The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 690: Jia She

"Good stuff? What good stuff?"

Jia Lian was stunned and said in surprise.

Zhang Yunyi glanced at the three roads below and said, "Although this thing may not be able to solve your urgent problem, it is worth a try. You will know the answer later. Let's talk about business first!"

A forced melon is not sweet. Even if Zhang Yun逸 wants to force something, he needs Jia Lian's cooperation.

Seeing that he had lost his spirit, I could only prescribe the right remedy.

When Zhen Shiyin was looking for medicine for Xue Pan, he used one pill to analyze its pharmacology, and the remaining two pills are still in his hands.

Although this is only a temporary solution and may even do more harm than good, who can blame Jia Lian for being so stubborn?
I can only give him a glimmer of hope and coax him to cooperate with my next plan.

Anyway, there are only two pills of the medicine, so even if you take it, the damage to your body will be limited. Jia Lian is already in this situation, so it can't get any worse.

Of course, if it is really effective, using this to hang Jia Lian will make it easier to carry out tasks in the future.

When Jia Lian heard this, he was stunned, his facial features twisted, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were suddenly bloodshot.

He didn't bother to cover up and said in a trembling voice: "Yun Yi, you are concerned about my brother's concerns. Lian Er is very grateful. Not to mention asking me to go to Tianjin to serve as an official, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

At this point, he suddenly realized. No wonder Zhang Yun逸 wanted to transfer him away. It turned out that his illness was getting better. Perhaps because of this, he was worried that he would forget the person who dug the well while drinking the water, and would be reluctant to leave Wang Xifeng.

Thinking of this, he patted his chest and assured: "Brother Yi, don't worry, when I go to Tianjin, I will leave your sister-in-law to you to take care of!"

"It's not even a scratch yet! We have to try it to know if it will work!"

Zhang Yunyi was unsure and just wanted to give Jia Lian a glimmer of hope. Now seeing that Jia Lian was so excited, he was also worried that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so he quickly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Hey! Hey! Regardless of whether it works or not, Brother Yi has always been thinking about me, so I will naturally not be ungrateful!"

The two men were playing a riddle, and the Shi brothers and Fu Shi were confused, but Jia She on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhang Yun逸 has now taken control of the Rongguo Mansion. Even Lin Daiyu knows the inside story, so he doesn't care whether Jia She will find out.

He ignored Jia Lian and turned to look at Fu Shi and asked, "I heard that you have a title of Juren?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Fu Shi's face flushed and he responded quickly.

Just now, Zhang Yun逸 had called out the names of the Shi brothers and Jia Lian one by one, and arranged official positions for them. Now that he was called out, he already had a guess and couldn't help but be excited.

He stared at Zhang Yunyi without blinking.

He took out a document from his arms and threw it over.

Fu Shi immediately perked up and took it with both hands.

"Although you have achieved fame, you have no official position or qualifications. Instead of going to work in a government office outside, you might as well get some experience here. Xianxue plans to open a school in Tianjin. I have already arranged the formalities for you. You will leave after the 15th. You should go and get this done first, and then we can make arrangements later."

Although his treatment was far inferior to that of the Shi brothers and Jia Lian, Fu Shi also knew that his starting point was too low.

Moreover, Zhang Yunyi had said before that he should first gain experience under him and then decide based on the situation. This gave him hope.

With the examples of historians and Jia Lian before him, how could Fu Shi be unwilling?
While he was busy expressing his gratitude profusely, he secretly thought that he had made the right move.

It seems I need to tell my sister to take good care of this big Buddha.

As he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Yunyi say again: "This matter cannot be delayed, we have to leave after the New Year. Remember to say hello to your family as soon as possible!"

Fu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be that his sister is in a bad mood?

"Hey! Hey! Don't worry, my lord. I will go and say goodbye to my sister tomorrow."

Zhang Yunyi was very satisfied with Fu Shi's reaction.

His arrangement today was not only to consolidate the arrangement in Tianjin, but also to use both kindness and force to lay the groundwork for the Xue family's upcoming trip.

Although Jia She, Xue Pan and others are in the hall, if we leave things to them, I am afraid they will not be able to accomplish anything, but will rather cause trouble.

After making the arrangements, he winked at Jia Lian, who immediately followed him out of the hall.

After leaving the hall, Jia Lian hurriedly followed and asked impatiently: "Is there really still hope?"

"Maybe! I can't guarantee it!"

Zhang Yunyi paused for a moment and said vaguely, "However, medicine is three-quarters poisonous, and it is such a potent medicine, so I have been hesitating whether to give it to you..."

"Yes! Of course I won't! As long as it works, I'll be willing to take it even if it kills me!"

Eat to death?

Even if you want to eat yourself to death, I have to give it to you!
Zhang Yunyi secretly sneered in his heart, but said: "This medicine is an ancient recipe that has been lost. There are only two pills at present. You can try it first. If it works, I will slowly look for the prescription..."

"Only... only two pills?" Jia Lian was greatly disappointed.

Zhang Yunyi continued to deceive, "There is always a glimmer of hope, right?"

Although this medicine is not out of print, and Zhen Shiyin has even studied pharmacology, it may not be impossible to copy it.

But he had no hatred or grudge against Jia Lian. On the contrary, he not only offered his wife to him, but also cooperated with various plots.

One should not strike a smiling person, and Zhang Yunyi had no reason to kill him. He took Jia Lian to the study in the front yard and found the sandalwood box containing medicine in the cabinet.

After handing it over to Jia Lian, Fang Er said, "Don't try this medicine in your house!"

"Hey! Hey! Don't worry, Brother Yi. I'll go to Rong'er to try the medicine!"

At first, he was quite dissatisfied with Jia Rong's occasional begging for money, but since he felt that there was no hope of recovery, this thought faded.

He simply gave all the concubines that he had originally received from Jia Zhen to Jia Rong.

Now that he had to test the medicine, he had to trouble Jia Rong. Besides, Zhang Yun逸 could feel more at ease when testing the medicine with Jia Rong and having this good nephew supervising him.

Jia Lian took the box carefully, as if afraid that the medicinal properties would dissipate. He opened a crack, took a peek inside, quickly closed the box again, and then held it carefully in his hands.

But just as he followed Zhang Yunyi out of the study, someone suddenly snatched the box away from him.

Jia Lian was about to get angry, but when he saw clearly that the person who had taken it away was none other than Jia She?

He was angry but dared not say anything, and immediately looked at Zhang Yunyi with a pleading face.

Jia She angrily scolded: "What are you looking at? Although Yun Yi is given to you, since it is a good thing, don't you know how to respect it?"

Jia Lian's life-saving item was robbed, and he was so anxious that he almost cried out, and begged, "Master! Everything else is fine, but this is my son's life-saving item..."

"Help? What's wrong with you? Are you trying to trick me?"

Jia She looked Jia Lian up and down, then asked indirectly, "Or do you have some unspeakable secret?"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Just now in the hall, Jia Lian asked Zhang Yunyi to take care of Wang Xifeng, and this old guy heard a clue.

Combined with Jia Lian's previous action of giving his mistress to Jia Rong, and knowing all about Zhang Yunyi's affair, one can't help but suddenly realize that it is no wonder that he was so generous and gave Wang Xifeng a share of the guano dividend for free.

He had already entrusted Madam Xing to Zhang Yun逸, and was very proud of it. Naturally, he did not think that there was anything wrong with Jia Lian's behavior.

Some even feel jealous of Jia Lian, who gets to reap the benefits.

However, although Mrs. Xing still has some charm, she cannot compare to Wang Xifeng, who is in her prime, graceful and elegant, like a goddess or fairy, and is not as good at handling things as Wang Xifeng.

He spent money extravagantly and had almost squandered the 100,000 taels of silver he got from Lady Jia.

Now that I have seen a clue, I can't help but start to make some plans.

Although he did not dare to use this to threaten Zhang Yunyi, he could certainly take the opportunity to control Jia Lian's son and make some profits.

Therefore, when he saw the two of them leaving the hall, he hurriedly followed them.

He was afraid that Zhang Yunyi might misunderstand him, so he quickly nodded and bowed to him, saying, "Yunyi, please don't misunderstand me. If you ask me, these two really don't know what's good for them. They took such a big business in bird droppings and felt at ease with it. Now that they are about to leave Beijing, they just remembered to ask Yunyi to take care of their wife..."

At this point, he turned to angrily scold Jia Lian: "Why? Did I scold you wrongly?"

Although Zhang Yun逸 did not take Jia She seriously, he did not expect that he would actually set his sights on Jia Lian.

"Okay! Stop talking about that nonsense!"

Zhang Yunyi glanced at the box in Jia She's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "What? You want to snatch the things I gave to Lian Er in front of me?"

Although Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others also have dissolute habits, they are not as extravagant as Jia She.

For a moment just now, he actually thought of letting Jia She eat to death and put an end to it all.

But after a little hesitation, he gave up the idea.

Although it is not difficult to guess the origin of this medicine, it is even possible that Zhen Shiyin imitated it.

But even at Jia She's age, one or two pills would not kill him.

Jia She is not Jia Lian. He hopes to be able to cure his unspeakable secret. He will be leaving Beijing soon, so he will most likely share the money at the exchange meeting.

If this news accidentally reaches the emperor's ears, it will inevitably cause trouble.

"No no no!"

Upon hearing this, Jia She immediately denied it and said flatteringly, "I just wanted to teach him a lesson for you because I saw that he was ignorant! Don't worry, Yun Yi, if my wife refuses to teach me in the future, I will let my wife discipline her for you..."

Seeing that Zhang Yun逸 tried his best to protect him, Jia She came up with another one when his first plan failed.

He did not return the box to Jia Lian, but handed it to Zhang Yunyi instead, and did not forget to take the opportunity to instigate him.

After hearing this, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but feel moved. He coughed dryly, handed the box to Jia Lian, who was full of gratitude, and shouted, "Mind your own business!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Then I'll call you Madam later..."

Jia She was persistent.

Zhang Yunyi did not deny that he was moved, but just shouted: "Do you still need to worry about the affairs of this country's duke?"
