The Red Mansion Big Liar

Zhang Yunyi then smiled at Youshi and said, "I have to trouble my cousin and sister-in-law again."

Seeing Zhang Yunyi looking at her, Youshi felt mixed emotions.

Unlike Jia Jing and his son, she thought Zhang Yun逸 did it for her.

He was a stranger here, unfamiliar with the place. If he had a maidservant, it would make it even more difficult for him to commit sneaky acts.

Now he is pretending to refuse, probably planning to take care of me first and then find a reliable candidate for me.

I thought that since he had just arrived, he would not ignore me. I did not expect that his obsession with me was so deep that it would be difficult to resolve it.

In fact, Youshi was a little too self-sentimental. The reason why she was a little too self-sentimental was that only children would make multiple-choice questions. For Zhang Yunyi, who had lived two lives, he naturally wanted them all.

However, as a modern man, he still has a bottom line and it is impossible for him to accept just any cat or dog.

The Ning Mansion is different from the Rong Mansion. The only maids ranked among the golden hairpins are Baozhu and Ruizhu, but these two are Qin Keqing's personal maids.

Even if Jia Jing and Jia Zhen wanted to make a profit from the rare commodity, they might not agree to this request.

He didn't know about Jia Zhen's arrangements. He only had one chance, so he had to make good use of it.

Therefore, he planned to show his talents and attract enough attention from the emperor, and then ask Jia Zhen for people, which would reduce the possibility of being rejected.

As for Qin Keqing's attitude...

He has always believed that what is in his stomach is his. Not to mention whether Qin Keqing would die, even if she didn't, he had no reason to give up what he had just to win favor.

Besides, young ladies need to be coaxed, and madams and grandmothers have to be nudged, so don’t maids have to wait to be sent?

It's already right in front of my mouth, why shouldn't I eat it in one gulp? It makes no sense to push it away instead.

In this era, maids had no autonomy. Before they got the contract, even if they hooked up with someone, it would only lead to Siqi's tragedy.

As for Qin Keqing, at least we have to confirm whether she will die of illness.

Chapter 13 Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal

Although the results were different from everyone's expectations, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Especially Qin Keqing, who originally thought that the transfer of Baozhu and Ruizhu was instructed by Jia Zhen, but now it seems that she was overthinking.

However, because he was worried that they would be favored by Zhang Yun逸, after accompanying them for a family dinner, he quickly made an excuse of being unwell and left.

"Grandma! What did Grandpa say?"

Seeing Qin Keqing coming out of the flower hall, Baozhu and Ruizhu immediately came forward to greet her.

Before this, because he wanted to argue with reason and was worried that the two maids would say something they shouldn't in their eagerness to protect their master, he specifically told them to wait outside.

Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, she actually escaped the disaster. She felt scared when she thought about it. Judging from Zhang Yunyi's performance at that time and the qualities of the two maids, if Jia Jing had pointed out the two of them as a gift, they would probably have agreed on the spot.

In order to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, she did not rush to answer. She just nodded slightly at the two of them and quickly returned to Tianxiang Tower.

After closing the doors and windows, he quietly repeated what happened and warned, "Although we have escaped for the time being, he lives in the Dengxian Pavilion across the street. We must keep the doors and windows closed. You should also try to go out less and don't let him see us. Wait until we are through this period and he has chosen a candidate before we can talk."

"That's good! Thank God!" Ruizhu patted her chest, feeling very grateful.

Baozhu lowered her head and uttered a soft "hmm".

Although it was Ruizhu who ruined Jia Zhen's plans, the two grew up together and had always been very close in their conversations. Plus with the rumors that came out later, it was impossible to hide it from her.

However, even Jiao Da, an old man who had served for several generations and made great contributions to the Ning Mansion, almost lost his life. What could she, a maid who came with the dowry, change?

She knew very well that Jia Zhen's evil fire would not subside with time. On the contrary, the longer it was suppressed, the more violently it would explode.

By then, even if Ruizhu and I risked our lives, it would be of no avail.

After all, they have been together since childhood, and she cannot sell out her master for fame and fortune, but she also does not want to waste her life in vain.

Therefore, when she heard yesterday that Jia Jing intended to give her and Ruizhu to Zhang Yun逸, she felt relieved.

I thought I would finally avoid the dilemma, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened. I felt extremely disappointed for a moment, but I didn't dare to show it.

It’s not that Ruizhu is more loyal than her, but the moment she discovered Jia Zhen’s plan, she had no way out.

If it weren't for Qin Keqing's protection, Jia Zhen would have gotten rid of her long ago.

As for Zhang Yun逸... he was just a guest who came to seek refuge. Even if he was valued by Jia Jing, would he be ungrateful and go against Jia Zhen for a maid?

Not to mention, she was originally a maid given by the Ning Mansion.

……

In Tianxiang Tower, the master and his two servants were worried about Zhang Yun逸's choice, and Jia Zhen was not idle either.

After sending Jia Jing away and sending Jia Rong away, leaving only Youshi behind, he spoke earnestly, "My dear brother! Our house is different from other houses. You must look carefully and ask your sister-in-law about everything. I may not be able to call up all the outstanding maids in the house, but your sister-in-law knows them all."

He was not worried about the looks of Baozhu and Ruizhu, but he was afraid that Zhang Yunyi came from a poor family and had never seen them before, so if he caught one of them, he would treat her as a treasure, thus leaving the two pearls in obscurity.

"Thank you, Brother Zhen, for your kindness!" Zhang Yunyi bowed to Jia Zhen and said tentatively, "That's great. I'm also worried that I might have chosen the wrong person."

"Hey! I don't like to hear that. They are just a few maids. What's the right or wrong thing to do? I promise you, don't just say two, but anyone you like, just ask."

He was afraid that Zhang Yunyi didn't understand what he meant, so he pointed at Youshi and said, "Even if it's the silver butterfly in front of your sister-in-law, if you like it, it's just a matter of a word."

Although Yin Die was considered to be pretty, she was not among the golden hairpins. Secondly, Zhang Yunyi remembered that she seemed to have an unclear relationship with Jia Rong.

As a later comer, he could not care too much about the married ladies of the Ning and Rong mansions, but he did not want the maid in his own house to have an affair with others.

"With your words, Yun Yi feels relieved. I will definitely ask my sister-in-law for advice. But I have to trouble you again."

Although Jia Zhen seemed to have ulterior motives in his words, having seen his attitude towards Youshi, it was not appropriate to compare him with Qin Keqing.

"We are all family, so don't be polite to your sister-in-law." He turned to look at Youshi and said threateningly, "If you can handle this matter, I will forgive you for the past. But if my cousin is not satisfied at all, don't blame me for bringing up the past with you!"

Although Youshi understood what Jia Zhen meant, she did not feel relieved at all.

I thought to myself, he had already taken action before you even opened your mouth. If you continue to add fuel to the fire, I'm afraid he will be even less polite.

It was originally thought that Zhang Yun逸 could escape the disaster because he did not live in Jia Rong's yard, but unexpectedly, Jia Zhen helped to pass the knife, and now he was caught in a weak spot by the other party.

I'm afraid that if I don't give him some sweet treats, he will never let me go.

She made up her mind and said with a smile, "Since Master has said so, how dare I neglect him? Whoever my unworthy cousin likes, I will make sure he is satisfied!"

She thought to herself, if I want you to be satisfied, I'm afraid I have to make Zhang Yunyi satisfied first.

But I don’t know who is the loser in this deal of exchanging daughter-in-law for daughter-in-law.

Jia Zhen thought that Youshi had understood his intention, and he didn't want to waste time with her, so he yawned and said, "I'm really exhausted these past two days, so I'll go back first. Dengxian Pavilion should be almost done, so you can take your cousin there to see if there's anything that needs to be adjusted, and talk to him in detail. It's not a good thing to have no one to serve in the house."

"There's no rush to see the house, but Yun Yi would like to ask my sister-in-law for advice first. If my cousin is tired, he might as well go back and rest."

Although Jia Zhen did not understand the implication of Youshi's words, he understood it clearly.

As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. Even if it is not the time to raise your gun and ride your horse, you have to break the window paper first.

Seeing Zhang Yun逸 being so sensible, Jia Zhen said with a smile, "Okay! Okay! Then let your sister-in-law talk to you."

Before leaving, he did not forget to give Youshi a threatening look and left the door ajar. Even Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but admire him for being thoughtful.

After the footsteps faded away, Zhang Yunyi said with a playful look: "Sister-in-law, please tell me how to satisfy me."

Yu Shi's heart was beating fast at the moment. She had just said that she felt relieved, but now that the matter had come to an end, she was afraid that he would not care, so she said timidly, "You...you should not do anything rash, in broad daylight..."

"Sister-in-law is right. It's indeed inappropriate in broad daylight. But at night..."

“No…No!”

Yu Shi looked towards the door with a guilty look on her face. She had never imagined that the sneaky act was not only spoken out by Zhang Yunyi openly, but also became her idea. If someone heard it, she didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

Fearing that Zhang Yunyi would say something crazy again, he lowered his voice and said, "Everyone in this mansion is your eldest brother's people. Give me some time."

Although she just wanted to calm Zhang Yunyi down first, her face turned red after she said that, and she quickly turned her back.

Zhang Yunyi saw Youshi sitting with her back to the side, which made her gourd-like figure stand out even more. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you use people in front of you instead of behind you. I really like it!"

Youshi was worried that her excuse would lead to dissatisfaction, and she misheard what he said. She turned around hastily and saw where his eyes were looking. Only then did she come to her senses.

Thinking of the friction in the car, my body felt hot and my face became redder and more swollen.

Taking advantage of You's distraction, Zhang Yunyi approached, held You's chin with his hand, and brushed his thumb across her lips, saying, "Yunyi, go out and take a breath first. Sister-in-law, when you're done, come out and take me to Dengxian Pavilion."

Just as Youshi said, in broad daylight, there is no guarantee that the servants will not come to report, and even if they are not caught in the act, one can still tell something from the person's expression.

Good things are worth eating when they are late. It has only been two days since we traveled through time, and there is still a long way to go.

Chapter 14 Someone is anxious

The name of Dengxian Pavilion sounds intimidating, but it is actually just a two-story building with three rooms.

There are several side rooms on each side. Although there are no personal maids for the time being, there are still maids and old women who serve tea, water, sweep and wash clothes, and they are placed on both sides.

He used the main room on the first floor as a hall, and left the two rooms on the left and right temporarily vacant, intending to recruit some maids from the Rong Mansion to fill the spaces later.

He turned the room on the second floor near the stairs into a study and specially selected a chair to put in it. He converted the middle room into a bathroom because, as a modern man, he really couldn't stand having spittoons or toilets in the house.

As for Baozhu and Ruizhu, who had already been chosen, they naturally stayed in the house to warm the beds.

Of course, I will have to take turns with the maids downstairs in the future.

However, although the idea is good, we still have to follow the steps.

Yu was a complete surprise to him.

Before this, even if he dared to think about it, he could not have imagined that in just two days, he would be hooked up with the mistress of the Ning Mansion.

After all, he is an adult at heart, and he is still full of energy when he travels through time, so naturally he doesn't want to put himself in a difficult position.

After making all the arrangements in the house, he looked at Youshi beside him and said with a double meaning, "Sister-in-law, do you think my arrangements are appropriate?"

Seeing that he did not leave a single maid in the building, Youshi secretly groaned.

It seems that Zhang Yun逸 is determined not to release the eagle until he sees the rabbit, and he is now in a difficult situation.

However, although Jia Zhen seldom stayed in her room overnight, it was not easy for him to leave the maid and go out alone at night.

She couldn't say it in front of the servants, so she could only smile bitterly and responded, "After all, it's more convenient to live in the house yourself."

As the saying goes, "too much talk leads to mistakes." She was afraid that Zhang Yunyi would talk too much and the servants would hear the hidden meaning. She did not dare not respond, so she could only be ambiguous and hint to Zhang Yunyi that this arrangement would make it convenient for him to act.

"Sister-in-law, that's right!" Zhang Yunyi understood. He opened his hands and gestured to Youshi, "Sister-in-law, please help me pick out a mandarin duck pillow this wide. If this chair doesn't have a cushion, I'm afraid my waist will get tired after sitting for a long time."

Youshi had no idea that the mandarin duck pillow was prepared for her. She thought Zhang Yunyi was going to study hard, so she quickly agreed.

"Hey! I'll do it right away, and find two more sets of clothes while I'm at it. You just make do with what you have for now."

The house was almost cleaned up and she was worried about having no excuse to leave.

Zhang Yun逸 did not stop her and sent Youshi downstairs. He did not rush back, but walked around Huifang Garden.

The door of Tianxiang Tower was closed, and he didn't know that Qin Keqing lived opposite.

The reason why I chose Dengxian Pavilion was, on the one hand, because of the rumor about the death of a debauched person in Tianxiang Tower, and on the other hand, it was to prepare for a rainy day.

After all, he was not the real master of the Jia family, so he had to be cautious in his actions. The access control of the wealthy families was strict, especially at night.

After all, the Red Mansion is mainly based on Rongguo Mansion, which is only separated from the Grand View Garden by a wall, and there will be a corner gate in the future.

Not having to go through those hallways can save you a lot of trouble.

Of course, these are just a spice of life. If you want to collect all the money you should, you may have to wait until the Jia family falls.

And, you have to make a name for yourself.

His words as a fairy citizen may seem to be spoken without thinking, but they are actually well thought out, foolproof, and will have many benefits later on.

Once a product that is beyond the cognition of the times is created, it will only be attributed to the method of immortals, and all previous unreasonable things will disappear.

Once this point is established, all problems and doubts will be resolved.

Even if the so-called merits and virtues will never reach their end, he can explain it as still lacking a little effort.

Modern people who are familiar with all kinds of routines in their previous lives cannot resist the temptation of a chop, let alone the natives of this era?

As long as the lies are not exposed, this set of rhetoric can be used on the new emperor even if the old emperor is gone.
