Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 102 Everyday Accidents

Qingwen is typical of the most hard-hearted and soft-hearted, and similar to Xiangling's experience, she doesn't remember her parents and relatives.

But she was luckier than Xiangling. At least she remembered that she had a cousin who came to Lai's house to follow Lai Shangrong, and her situation was much better than Xiangling's.

Therefore, while they resonated with each other, they could not help but sympathize with his experiences. Over time, the two became friends.

Xiang Ling proposed to learn how to make cheongsam from her. Although it was strange how she knew about her specialty, Sanjie You had been showing off recently, so she just thought Xiang Ling wanted to wear it herself, so she didn't hide it.

After seeing off Lai Shangrong every day, he returned to the small courtyard where Lai Shangrong lived in the back garden and taught Xiang Ling how to sew cheongsam.

Seeing Xiangling raise her hand to hold a needle flower, she pursed her red lips and bit off the thread.

Qingwen clapped her hands and laughed, "It's finally done. I'll take you to the room to try it out. I'll change it for you if it doesn't fit you!"

Mrs. Wang was afraid of exposing her body, so she only needed Xiangling to make one according to her figure first, and then she would ask Jin Chuan, Caixia and others to compare it with Yuanchun's figure. This was why Qingwen always thought she was wearing it herself.

"My wife ordered me to learn from you. I don't dare to wear this!"

Qingwen said doubtfully: "Ah! Isn't that right? How could your wife know this?"

Then he said: "It doesn't matter, it's not an important matter anyway. You can see for yourself! If there is something to be changed, remember to come and tell me!"

Qingwen only thought that she didn't dare to wear it outside, so she stopped forcing it.

"Hey!"

Xiangling nodded in agreement.

Qingwen took the dustpan from Xiangling's hand and put it back into the house. She pulled Xiangling and said with a smile: "Let's go! We haven't visited the garden for a few days. The marigolds that were planted in the house the year before last have all bloomed a while ago. Come on, let me take you to see it!"

With that said, the two of them walked hand in hand to the depths of the garden.

All the way to the flower garden, there was a sudden burst of sunshine and rain.

Qingwen saw Xiangling covering her head and running around anxiously, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I'll give you my clothes to change later!"

They were both sixteen or seventeen years old, an innocent age, so the two started chasing each other in the rain and playing around.

When the rain breaks and a rainbow hangs in the sky, I can't help but stop and watch for a long time.

"Let's go! It won't be good if you catch the cold!"

"Hey!" Qingwen agreed, chatting and laughing, and returned to the small courtyard with Xiangling.

Entering the back room, I took out a bath towel and two sets of dresses from the cabinet. Although there were many clothes here, because I always lived in Sister You's courtyard recently, I only had one bath towel as a spare.

He hurriedly handed it to Xiang Ling and said, "Quick! Dry yourself and put on a new one. Don't catch a cold!"

Just as he was talking, he heard Yuchai shouting from outside: "Qingwen...is sister Qingwen here? Miss You asked you to come over!"

"I know!" Qingwen agreed, and then shouted: "What is the ghost's name? You go back first, I will come right away!"

Seeing this, Xiangling hurriedly said: "You still have something to do, so you should change first!"

Qingwen didn't do any ink. She put her dress on the desk in the room and started working on her own.

After changing his clothes, he turned around and said to Xiang Ling: "Miss You probably came to me about the cheongsam. I may not be able to come back to see you off. You can go back by yourself after changing your clothes!"

After Qingwen left, Xiangling thought that since she had to change clothes, she might as well try on the cheongsam, so she went outside to get the cheongsam.

After wiping off the water stains on my body and changing into a cheongsam, I briefly felt if I felt any discomfort. When I went to pick up my clothes from the desk, I accidentally brought a few pieces of paper on the desk to the floor and hurriedly leaned over. After searching, I discovered Lai Shangrong's deceptive poems.Xiang Ling looked at the poem in her hand and couldn't take her eyes away anymore. She murmured to herself: "The scenery of the North Country, thousands of miles of ice... the majestic pass and the long road are really like iron, but now I'm crossing it from the beginning..."

For a moment, I was so mesmerized that I forgot the time.

…………

He turned around and said Lai Shangrong.

First, he looked around the construction site in a decent manner, and then came to the vicinity of Daoxiang Village.

Knowing that Li Wan would live in Daoxiang Village in the future, he focused on searching around Daoxiang Village.

After turning around and turning north from Daoxiang Village, I turned the hillside and found a rockery on the roadside between it and Liaoting Huashu. The sound of water gurgling on the mountainside turned out to be a small artificial waterfall next to it.

I secretly thought that even if it was quiet at night, no one would notice anything unusual if I made any noise.

So he took the steward and walked around the rockery twice. After thinking about his words, he fooled the steward and craftsman who was following him: "This place is a bit remote. If it rains suddenly and there is no shelter in front or behind, you might as well Dig a cave in this rockery for shelter from the rain!"

After saying that, he walked around the back of the rockery again, pointed at the mountain and said, "Open the cave door right here!"

When the steward saw Jia Lian, he was polite to Lai Shangrong, thinking that he was a more important master of the Jia family than Jia Lian, and nodded hurriedly.

But out of professionalism, he wondered, "Since it's for shelter from the rain, why don't you open the door in front?"

This place is for myself, and everyone knows how to do it.

Lai Shangrong angrily rebuked: "Bullshit! Opening in the front affects the scenery here, and not everyone can hide from the rain. If everyone knows this place, how can we prevent ignorant servants from coming in and out? If it is so unlucky, Said, backfired the original intention of leaving the hole!"

Moved to a new residence, nourishing his body, Lai Shangrong was born mighty and majestic, and being an official brought a majesty of a superior, the craftsman did not dare to ask any more questions.

As if to confirm what Lai Shangrong said before, it suddenly started to rain from the sky.

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but secretly warned that there were many things in the Red Mansion that turned out to be prophecies, so he must be careful what he said in the future.

All the way to the back garden gate, the sudden sun and rain stopped. I was soaked in the rain. I found a cheap place again. I achieved my goal and didn't want to stay for a long time.

While telling the steward to remember his instructions, he went straight out of Rong Mansion.

Since it was still early, it was better to go directly to my house in the back garden and then go to the study room to make a plan for the future glass industry, so I went to the poolside courtyard.

At this time, Xiangling was still addicted to Lai Shangrong's poems and couldn't extricate herself. Suddenly she heard some movement outside the house. She thought it was Qingwen coming back. She was suddenly awakened that she hadn't changed her clothes after lingering for so long.

Hastily dropped the manuscript in his hand, stood with his back beside the desk, raised his hand and unbuttoned it.

Lai Shangrong pushed the door open and entered the house. When he saw the scene in front of him, he thought it was Qingwen who remembered his instructions in the morning and came over in advance to try on clothes.

He secretly said, "No, my body is very honest!"

It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Since everyone has changed into outfits, why wait until night.

So he started to think about being narrow-minded, shed all his wetness, stepped forward, and hugged him from behind.

He smiled and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk! I told you to put it on this morning, but you were so arrogant with me, and now I've caught you doing it. Since you've put it on, why bother to take it off in a hurry!"

While speaking, he turned up the back of the cheongsam.
