The Red Mansion Big Liar
Page 192
Wang Xifeng still has some self-awareness. Although a divorce is not the same as a divorce, the world today is different from that of the future. Moreover, considering Zhang Yunyi's current status, taking her as a concubine is already a sign of his longing for the old times.
"Since you don't want to divorce and want a child, you can still use him. If you offend him to death, you will just give up your responsibility in the future..."
"How dare he!" Wang Xifeng scolded, "Now that the eldest girl has gotten into such trouble, everyone in the mansion knows about it. It's all thanks to your Second Master that he was able to get promoted. Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to give up his job with you!"
"That being said! Enemies should not be resolved or created! You can't force someone to death just for such a small favor, right? He did this to cure his illness, he had no choice!"
Zhang Yunyi shamelessly said: "Besides, didn't my sister-in-law enjoy it very much in front?"
"Bah! Who enjoyed it? I was... I was..." Wang Xifeng was speechless for a moment and could not find any words to shirk responsibility.
At the hot spring villa, Mrs. Wang was frightened by the Jinchuan sisters and Qingwen, and that feeling of tension left an endless aftertaste for Zhang Yun逸.
However, such opportunities are hard to come by, and since Jia Lian happened to make such a request, Zhang Yun逸 took advantage of it.
Although the situations of Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are not exactly the same, the sense of tension and excitement they feel are similar.
When Zhang Yun逸 mentioned this at this moment, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a strange emotion.
Zhang Yunyi observed her expression and immediately persuaded her: "Sister-in-law was too dull this time. Next time, if you can have more scenes of her asking him for help..."
"Bah!" Wang Xifeng blushed and spat, "What do you mean by next time? Don't let your wishful thinking do that!"
“Hehehe!” Zhang Yunyi grinned, “I don’t care. I’m just afraid that Second Brother Lian will come to us for treatment again!”
"He dares?" Wang Xifeng sneered, "He was just in the side hall. Didn't you see it? There was a huge puddle in front of him. He couldn't even stand steadily. If it happens again, I'm afraid he will be completely ruined!"
Speaking of being unable to stand steadily, she couldn't help but think that she was the same. She was even carried back to the house by Zhang Yunyi. Her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
Zhang Yunyi saw that she was somewhat reluctant, so he quickly said, "What the sister-in-law means is that if he dares to beg us, you will also..."
Wang Xifeng blushed and said, "Who wants to tell you this?"
She didn't dare to dwell on this topic, and quickly interrupted, "By the way! My brother sent me a message a while ago, saying that someone in the south is secretly doing the bird droppings business. Can you tell the emperor?"
There are many islands in the south, and even though the Great Xia Dynasty has a navy, it cannot take care of them all.
Moreover, most of those who are able to do this kind of business have complicated connections, and they will definitely make arrangements properly. They will just turn a blind eye to such things.
Speaking of business, Zhang Yunyi stopped smiling and said seriously: "Our business is already enough to make people jealous. If we go to the emperor to complain now, wouldn't that just offend people for nothing!"
Wang Xifeng said with a painful look on her face, "But we have a share of that business. If they take it all away, what will we have to earn in the future?"
"There is no such thing as a lifelong business in this world. Be content with what you can earn!" Zhang Yunyi warned, "I remind you, stay out of this matter, and tell your brother not to meddle in other people's business!"
"Then when we finish digging it out..." Wang Xifeng wanted to persuade him again.
"Finished digging?" Zhang Yunyi sneered and interrupted, "Even if it's finished digging, it will take ten or twenty years. By then, you will have other ways to make a living."
He was not trying to deceive Wang Xifeng.
Although the demand for guano is huge, given the transportation capacity of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would take at least 20 years to mine all the guano from the southern islands.
Although eating alone is delicious, it is also easy to become a target of public criticism, which is not worth the loss in the long run.
With the guidance of a time traveler like him, the enlightenment education in the study of immortals, no matter how poor the effect is, will not be in vain.
By then, relying on the foresight of the time traveler, we can plan some promising industries.
Money is the least important thing to him, and it will only bring him some unnecessary political enemies.
If there are any changes in the future, everyone will definitely turn against you.
He was still a little worried, and said sternly: "I remind you, if you dare to disobey me and make enemies everywhere, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship! And your brother is not an easy person to deal with either, you should write to him immediately..."
At this point, he paused and said, "Now that the business has been taken over by Tiangongyuan, he has nothing to do in the south. Ask him to come to the capital to avoid trouble!"
"That's enough! I don't care anymore!~"
Although Wang Xifeng was reluctant, she did not dare to go against his wishes and had to agree.
"That's the best!" Zhang Yunyi reached out and stroked Wang Xifeng's belly, smiling, "Don't worry, I won't ignore you and the child. If the bird droppings business is gone, I will find another way for you to make a living."
Whether it's giving a slap or a date, Zhang Yun逸 has already mastered it.
"What child! He's not even born yet!" Wang Xifeng pouted.
"Then sister-in-law has to work harder!" Zhang Yunyi lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, looking ready to get whatever he wanted.
"Ping'er!" Wang Xifeng pushed Ping'er, smoothed her messy hair, and said, "Come on! I can't do it today, and you, a little slut, have the advantage!"
Knowing that Zhang Yunyi would have to stay for a few more days, she was not in a hurry.
The two were talking about serious matters just now, and Ping'er did not interrupt. Now it was finally her turn, and she quickly sat astride.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi held him up, sat up suddenly and said, "I'll go outside and take a look. Don't let him peek again!"
"I'll go!" Ping'er felt relieved, but didn't want to show it too much, so she said quickly.
"It's cold outside, so don't go! I'm thick-skinned, so it won't be a problem."
"Pooh!" Wang Xifeng said sarcastically, "So you've humiliated me, and you can't bear to leave Ping'er!"
"How can they be the same?" Zhang Yunyi ignored him, jumped off the bed, put on his cloak, walked out quickly, walked around the outside of the house, and then returned to the house.
Seeing him return to the house, Wang Xifeng sneered, "You are so suspicious. Don't you think that with his physique, he is lucky to be able to crawl back to the house without collapsing? How can he have the energy to eavesdrop outside?"
"Hehehe! It's better to be careful!~" Zhang Yunyi pulled off his cloak, threw it away, and climbed onto the bed with a sneer.
"My lord, you are tired. Let me serve you!" Ping'er quickly threw herself into his arms and laid her hot body on top of him. After warming him for a while, she sat on him.
……
The north wind howled and the branches swayed.
Jia Lian, who was in the side hall, had trembling legs. He held onto the door frame with trembling hands and slowly walked out of the side hall.
He turned his head to look at Wang Xifeng's room and vaguely heard some murmurs in the wind. He hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly fled into the wing on the west side of the yard as if he had seen a ghost.
As soon as he entered the west wing, he could no longer support himself, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
Then, as if he had realized something, his face showed horror.
……
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 336 Lin Hongyu
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhang Yunyi stretched lazily and walked out of the main room. He smiled and greeted Jia Lian, who was looking sick in front of the west wing, "Good morning, Second Brother Lian!"
"Good morning! Good morning!" Jia Lian hunched his back and nodded awkwardly.
If someone who doesn't know the truth sees this scene, he or she may not be able to tell who is the guest.
Seeing Jia Lian's sickly appearance, Zhang Yunyi frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Did Second Brother Lian not sleep well last night?"
"I slept well, but..." Jia Lian hesitated, "It seems that the disease is not... not cured..."
"No way?" Zhang Yunyi lowered his eyes, half believing and half doubting.
Could this guy be addicted to watching porn movies?
"No, no, no! It's absolutely true..." Seeing his doubt, Jia Lian looked anxious and was about to cry.
He had a lot of pain in his heart. He was indeed complaining last night without any reason, but it might be the side effects of the treatment, or he might have used too much force. After he went back and calmed down, he realized that he was unconscious.
He didn't dare to disturb them, and was worried all night, so he came to ask for help early in the morning.
Although he was quite enthusiastic about the play and Wang Xifeng seemed to be willing to give in, he moved into the Rong Mansion this time with the mentality of sharing the spoils with everyone.
But there is not enough time to spend on Wang Xifeng.
Seeing that Jia Lian did not seem to be pretending, he said perfunctorily: "Perhaps you were too exhausted yesterday, Brother Lian, take a rest for a while!"
After hearing what he said, Jia Lian came to his senses.
Last night was different from the last time I peeked out the back porch window. I had a chance to lean against the wall and catch my breath.
This time, I actually watched the whole show.
The effect was actually much stronger than when he accidentally swallowed the pill.
"Yes, yes, yes! Maybe that's the reason."
He was still a little worried, so he added, "Give me a few days to recover, if..."
"Save people to the end. There is no reason to give up halfway!"
After sending Jia Lian away, Zhang Yun逸 walked out of the courtyard.
I originally planned to go back, change clothes, have breakfast and then go to the yamen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Li Wan, peeking out of the west corner door.
Last night she waited anxiously until midnight, but Zhang Yunyi did not come out. She knew that he must have stayed at Wang Xifeng's place all night as he said during the day.
Therefore, I came here early in the morning to wait for the rabbit.
Since she lived next door to Wang Xifeng, she would not arouse suspicion.
Zhang Yunyi stretched his muscles calmly, turned around and walked to the door, smiling and greeting, "I was just about to go to the garden to exercise, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to get up so early!"
"Hmm!" Li Wan said hurriedly, "Lan'er has to go to school soon, I'll get up and watch her."
Zhang Yunyi walked in front of her and lowered his voice and said, "If sister-in-law can get away tonight, please go to the Grand Hall and wait for me later!"
Li Wan is not Aunt Zhao. In this era when people share concubines, it is not uncommon for concubines to be given away as gifts. The emperor will not be overly critical of the reputation of concubines and will be more lenient in managing them.
Even though Aunt Zhao had given birth to a child for Jia Zheng, it would not be surprising if she was really sent away.
Although we can let Lai Da arrange it, it is better to keep it a secret if he doesn't know about it.
Not letting those below you see through you is also a way to control them.
Originally, he was still planning to let Lai Da pass the message if he couldn't find an opportunity. But now, Li Wan walked into the trap herself, saving the trouble of transferring.
Although he had an appointment with Tanchun in the evening, he would take things step by step even with Yingchun, let alone Tanchun, whom he met privately for the first time?
Since this is our first meeting, we can just have a brief encounter at best, and it probably won't take much time.
Don’t waste it, just make an appointment for the second half.
"You can take it off! You can take it off!" Li Wan hurriedly whispered, "But you have to wait until Lan'er falls asleep."
When she occasionally found it difficult to control herself, she would send Suyun away to comfort herself.
She was just worried that Jia Lan hadn't slept yet and would need to find her for something urgent.
This was exactly what Zhang Yunyi wanted, so he nodded and said, "Then we'll see you there!"
He performed the whole act. Although he had seldom run since Zhen Shiyin taught him the health-preserving boxing techniques, he picked it up again today.
Because it was still early, and in order to maintain an impartial image in front of Jinchai, he did not visit any courtyard.
The Grand View Garden is different from the Huifang Garden. He ran around it once and that was enough exercise.
Just as I stepped onto the flat and wide road in front of Qinfang Pavilion, I saw a maid in red clothes, bending over, looking for something in the grass.
She was hunched over with her hips sticking out. Although her face couldn't be seen, her figure looked familiar.
Although Zhang Yunyi often came to the garden to stroll, most of the people he remembered had names, so he pretended to be curious and came closer, then asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Ah!" The maid screamed, raised her head hurriedly, blinked her lively eyes, and said shyly, "Master Yi...Master Yi! My handkerchief is lost..."
She has a pretty face and a pair of eyes that seem to be able to speak. Who else could it be but Xiaohong?
Zhang Yunyi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Do you know me?"
The disappointment in Xiaohong's eyes flashed away and she said, "When I went to Beijing with Miss Lin, I met you, Master!"
Zhang Yunyi keenly grasped the change in her eyes, and suddenly realized: "Oh!~ I remember, you are Lin Zhixiao's daughter!"
Lin Xiaohong said shyly: "Master... Master actually still remembers me!"
"If a pair of handkerchiefs are lost, it's lost. Why bother looking for them? I'll give you a few more later!"
Zhang Yunyi asked knowingly, "By the way, where are you working now? I'll ask someone to send it to you later!"
Lin Xiaohong bowed and said, "I am only a third-class maid in Yihong Courtyard. I am afraid I cannot afford Master Yi's reward!"
She emphasized the third-class maid.
Zhang Yunyi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why? With your appearance and character, why are you still feeling so wronged? Why didn't Steward Lin arrange a good job for you?"
