The Red Mansion Big Liar

"You...what do you do?"

Zhang Yunyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll borrow your precious land today to avoid any inconvenience in the future."

At first, when Wang Xifeng saw Zhang Yunyi walking into the house with Lin Hongyu in his arms openly, she thought he was up to some bad idea again and was a little flustered.

Now that he heard that he was just borrowing the place from him, he felt a little jealous and couldn't help but choke back, "Bah! What do you think this place is?"

Zhang Yunyi originally just wanted to say hello to Wang Xifeng, but now he changed his mind and said with a smile: "Of course I treat this place as my own!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Hongyu was shocked and looked at Wang Xifeng cautiously, but was surprised to find that she was not angry at all, but seemed very satisfied.

Before she had time to think about it, she felt dizzy and was picked up by Zhang Yunyi.

Then, Zhang Yunyi sighed, "Forget it! Since my sister-in-law is so distant, I'll go somewhere else! Where is your house?"

Lin Hongyu was held in his arms and had already lost her mind. She was not awakened until she felt her buttocks being slapped twice. Her last words were to herself.

He pointed weakly towards the opposite side.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Yunyi could carry her away, Wang Xifeng said, "Forget it! You don't have to move. I'm a little bored staying in the room. Go out for a walk for an hour and come back!"

Lin Hongyu's mind buzzed for a moment, and she hadn't yet figured out what Wang Xifeng meant.

She felt her cheek being pinched, and she opened her eyes blankly, only to see Wang Xifeng rubbing her fingers and saying with a smile, "I'm sure this little girl can bear it, so let Ping'er stay and help her share the burden! Otherwise, the eldest sister-in-law will come back and say that I am not considerate of her maid."

After saying this, Wang Xifeng twisted her waist and hips and passed by.

Zhang Yunyi held her in his arms and walked as fast as a dragon or a tiger, heading straight for the bed in the house.

When Zhang Yunyi laid her flat on the bed, Lin Hongyu suddenly woke up. She pointed outside the room weakly and whispered, "Lian...Mr. Lian is still here!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yunyi laughed heartily, "Wasn't it Second Brother Lian who sent me in?"

Lin Hongyu was stunned, and Ping'er's voice came: "I will be waiting outside, Master, remember to call me later!"

"Hmm!~" A muffled groan sounded in her ears, and she saw Zhang Yunyi pouncing on his prey like a hungry tiger, and her mind went blank.

Chapter 378 Lin Hongyu's Experience

Zhang Yun逸 was a person who couldn't sit still, but he was at the center of a storm and couldn't reveal any inclinations, so he had to come to Wang Xifeng's place for temporary refuge.

As luck would have it, he noticed that Lin Hongyu was in a nervous mood, so he killed two birds with one stone by taking her in as his roommate and reassuring her at the same time.

He was not worried at all about revealing his relationship with Wang Xifeng.

Not to mention that he was sent into the house by Jia Lian, just the fact that Lin Hongyu was able to take the initiative to serve, it seems that she would not be unable to tell the difference between the high and low points.

Facts have proved that it is true.

At first, Lin Hongyu was already confused by being hugged and embraced by him.

Afterwards, he heard his conversation with Wang Xifeng and was shocked.

It was not until Ping'er came into the room and shared the burden with her according to Wang Xifeng's instructions that she finally came to her senses and understood the pros and cons of the matter.

I finally understood why Wang Xifeng had to stroll for such a long time, for an hour.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng pushed the door open, fanned her hands, and glanced at the mess on the bed.

Lin Hongyu hurriedly lifted the corner of the quilt and was about to get up, but unexpectedly it touched a painful spot and she grimaced.

She was in a dilemma when she heard Wang Xifeng say, "Okay! Don't move, or someone will feel sorry for you and blame me again!"

Lin Hongyu glanced at Ping'er, who was lying on the bed, motionless and with a look of despair on her face. Then she calmed herself down, hurriedly pulled the corner of the quilt, and lowered her blushing face.

But suddenly he felt the bed sink, and saw that Wang Xifeng had been pulled onto the bed by Zhang Yunyi, leaning in his arms.

She was surprised to find that the second wife, who had always been so powerful and majestic, actually had this kind of petite side.

Zhang Yunyi hugged Wang Xifeng as if no one was around, and spread his big hands on her belly. While caressing her, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is very precious now! I dare not blame her!"

"Bah!" Wang Xifeng turned around and reached down to grab it, "Don't try to fool me with these little girl lies. How long has it been? You haven't even shown up, and you're already greedy and hungry!"

Zhang Yunyi sneered and said, "My eldest sister-in-law is not at home, and there is no one to support her in the mansion. So I came here today just to see you, didn't I?"

"How dare you say that!"

Wang Xifeng squinted at him in anger, but took credit for it, saying, "I was just asked to go to the old lady's place, and she said you were here to visit, and urged me to come back quickly. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and said you had seen it. Now Lian Er has pulled me to talk, so don't let anything slip when you go back!"

Zhang Yun逸 knew Wang Xifeng's character very well and was being attentive for no reason. He didn't say anything and just watched her performance silently.

Sure enough, seeing that he was indifferent, Wang Xifeng glared at him fiercely and said, "You are very generous. The glass lantern is fine. I just asked for it back. You can do with the pearl hairpin yourself!"

Zhang Yunyi smiled and said, "Didn't I give one to my sister-in-law last time? Although I still have a few of these hairpins, they are the same style as these ones, so it's not convenient for my sister-in-law to wear them out. You have money on hand now, so you can make whatever you like."

"How can it be the same?" Wang Xifeng pouted and complained, "You usually come less often, and now that I'm pregnant, you come even less often. I have nothing to do all day, so you have to leave me with something to think about."

Having said this, she suddenly looked at Lin Hongyu, which made Lin Hongyu feel uneasy.

She smiled and said, "Now that you have taken in this girl, when you come here next time, you can ask her to keep Ping'er company. This way you won't have to be the only one on top. Is that okay?"

Zhang Yunyi knew that she was always busy and would be bored when she was free. She needed someone to accompany her, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Anyway, my sister-in-law may not be back until March or April, so Hongyu will have to stay with you for a while."

He thought for a moment and added, "That hibiscus jade hairpin is not easy for you to wear, but I still have the emerald jade hairpin I gave you last time. I'll make another one for you later, so you won't be jealous anymore!"

"That's better!" Wang Xifeng threw a coquettish glance and quickened her hands' movements.

Originally, when Lin Hongyu heard that she would have to follow Youshi in the future, she was somewhat disappointed. But now, listening to the two of them talking, she had a better understanding.

The more this happened, the more frightened she became.

Originally, she took the initiative to join Zhang Yun逸, with the idea that if she couldn't stay here, she would find a place of her own.

Now, after seeing the attitude of Jia Lian and his wife, combined with what he saw and heard when he first received the boat, he felt that Zhang Yunyi was more unfathomable, and secretly thought that he had chosen the right path.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng said again, "The old lady is really willing to do this. She just promised her granddaughter to you as a concubine, and now she even wants Yun from her mother's family."

The news of Shi Xiangyun becoming a concubine had already spread throughout the mansion, but Jia's mother kept Yingchun's becoming a concubine a secret. Lin Hongyu was shocked when she heard the news, and although she didn't know which lady it was, she still looked up at Zhang Yunyi unconsciously.

But he looked indifferent, and said with a half-smile: "You have to have a proper attitude when asking for help. If you want to take advantage of your seniority, you have to choose the right person!"

"Everyone knows that the whole family is counting on you. Even the Madam..." Wang Xifeng blurted out, but she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed her words, "and the old lady will have to accompany you and be careful."

Although she reacted promptly, she still put Mrs. Wang first and was thinking about how to change the subject so that he would not notice the loophole.

But Zhang Yunyi pinched her waist and said with a smile: "Is it only the old lady and the wife?"

Wang Xifeng understood what he meant, and quickly twisted in his arms, saying with a smile: "If there is anyone I dare not offend, Lian Er is naturally the first one!"

What she said was not bad. Jia Lian was now helpless, so no one dared to neglect the follow-up treatment or rely on him to do it.

Although Lin Hongyu didn't understand the situation, Wang Xifeng's words undoubtedly cleared up her doubts.

Although she was not a servant of the Rong family, unlike Zijuan and others, she had a natural awe for the masters of the Rong family.

But when Jia Lian sent Lin Daiyu back to his hometown to attend Lin Ruhai's funeral, she had seen a little of the style of this grandson of the Rongguo Mansion.

If Zhang Yun逸 acted secretly, she could still understand it.

But it was Jia Lian who personally sent the person into the house and avoided him to avoid suspicion.

I was originally wondering why Jia Lian was so patient and cowardly, allowing Zhang Yunyi to show off his magical powers at home.

Now, I feel like something has suddenly dawned on me.

Yuanchun's divorce and Jia's grandmother's arrangement of Shi Xiangyun and her own granddaughter as concubines, all the events were connected together.

I'm afraid that the Rongguo Mansion is just a facade and is about to collapse, so it wants to rely on Zhang Yunyi as a big tree.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously leaned closer to Zhang Yunyi's arms.

Zhang Yunyi seemed to understand something and looked down at Lin Hongyu beside him. He saw her tilting her pretty face up with a pair of watery eyes, shy and fearful.

He pursed his lips, raised his hand to hook Lin Hongyu's chin, fiddled with it left and right, and rubbed her lips with his thumb.

Then, she pushed away Wang Xifeng's hand that was stirring the spoon and said with a smile, "My sister-in-law must be tired. Since this girl is following you, she should do her part for you."

As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Hongyu's loose bun and slowly pressed it down.

Lin Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and happened to catch a glimpse of Ping'er's outstretched arm out of the corner of her eye. A sense of enlightenment surged in her heart, and she buried her head deeply in obedience.

Wang Xifeng, who was standing by, had an intriguing smile on her face, and said, "I never thought that Lin Zhixiao and his wife, who are both deaf and dumb, would give birth to such a clever girl. I am really reluctant to let her go!"

Chapter 379 The Second Master's Blessing of Having Two Wifes

After Shen Zheng, Zhang Yun逸, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came to Rongqing Hall.

Although it was not yet dark, lanterns of all sizes had already been lit, especially the twenty or so glass lanterns sent by Zhang Yun逸. The glass made the hall sparkle with light.

Because it was the Lantern Festival, not only did everyone in the Rong Mansion gather together, but even some members of the Jia family, who thought they had a close relationship with the family, came to join in the fun.

Jia Lian greeted Lady Jia and went to the front yard to greet the Jia family members with Jia She, but Zhang Yun逸 was kept by Lady Jia.

As soon as he entered the door, he became the focus of everyone's attention. Some people tried to get close to him and many people tried to please him, but Zhang Yunyi dealt with them all.

When the wine and food were served, Grandmother Jia urged them to take their seats.

He glanced at the empty seat next to Yuanchun and exchanged glances with Tanchun who was stealing glances at him.

Fang glanced around the field and said, "By the way, please ask the old lady to send someone to tell Aunt Zhao that I can't take Brother Huan to the Immortal Academy tomorrow morning. I have informed Shang Rong before, and he will come to pick Brother Huan up tomorrow morning."

To be honest, Zhang Yun逸 had no preference between Lady Wang and Aunt Zhao, Jia Zheng's wives and concubines.

However, the happiness of having wives and concubines living together had not yet been arranged. Aunt Zhao was in a weak position after all, so Zhang Yun逸 had to take care of her.

In addition, I would also like to take this opportunity to give Tanchun some reassurance.

As expected, as soon as he said this, Tanchun's eyes lit up, while Mrs. Wang frowned, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Although Grandmother Jia favored Jia Baoyu, she could see the big picture from the small details. She felt even more relieved when she saw that Zhang Yunyi even remembered Jia Huan's enrollment in school.

He immediately sent someone to inform Aunt Zhao.

The reunion dinner on the Lantern Festival does not have all the red tape of the past, and there is no such thing as not talking while eating or not talking while sleeping.

During the banquet, drinking games and riddles were inevitable.

Zhang Yun逸’s literary talent was average to begin with, and although he could handle the drinking games, his performance was not outstanding.

Seeing this, Jia's mother laughed and said, "It's boring to do this all day long. I think it's better to share the tastes of both the elite and the masses. Let each person tell a joke. If it's funny, everyone will have a drink. If it's not funny, everyone will have a drink."

When Lady Jia spoke, few would object, except Jia Baoyu, who rarely overpowered Zhang Yunyi and was having a great time.

He immediately pursed his lips and complained, "We are having fun, why do you have to tell jokes?"

Under normal circumstances, Grandmother Jia would have had to let him do what he wanted, but now, she hoped to coax Zhang Yunyi into doing well so that she could take good care of this obedient grandson in the future and not let him act recklessly.

He said with a stern face, "Alright! You can play whenever you want. Your aunts and sisters-in-law are all here. Wouldn't it be neglecting others if you play this?"

As she spoke, she smiled at Zhang Yunyi and said, "Brother Yi, you start first!"

Never underestimate a joke.

In later generations, whether it is a company gathering or entertaining clients, one must at least wait for the leader or client to take the lead.

If the boss or client is just making an ordinary joke, then you can't be too casual with what you say next. But if it's a dirty joke, then there are no taboos in the follow-up. This is also a reflection of the right to speak.

This is true even in later generations, and even more so in ancient times.

In ancient times, the social hierarchy was strict and joking was a manifestation of power. Looking through the book Dream of the Red Chamber, there are only a few people who joke and joke in public.

The rest just wait for others to take the lead and then start to follow the crowd.

Of course, Zhang Yun逸 would not tell those dirty jokes that are not suitable for public display in front of a group of female relatives.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Once upon a time, there was a man who had a parrot that was very aggressive. He put the bird in the cage, but the parrot killed it the next day. The owner was very angry and released an eagle in the cage. But the next day, the eagle was also dead, and the parrot's wings were featherless. The owner was secretly worried about what to do with the parrot, but then he heard the parrot actually start talking."

As he spoke, Zhang Yunyi rolled up his sleeves and imitated the parrot's tone, saying, "Damn it! Without my bare chest, I really can't beat it!"

Whether this joke is funny or not, it depends on one's own opinion.

The key is to roll up your sleeves and learn to speak like a parrot.

It is said that parrots can imitate speech, but no one would have expected that with his current status, he could actually imitate the speech of a parrot, and his imitation was so lifelike that everyone burst into laughter.

For a moment, the flowers and branches were shaking wildly, making Zhang Yunyi dazzled.
