Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 105 The Realm of Diao Nu

That night!

Rikain.

Baochai and Aunt Xue were sitting on the kang.

"Mom gave Xiang Ling to him, why didn't she wait for her brother to come back?"

Aunt Xue looked suffocated. Baochai had not left the court after all. It was not easy to tell her about immoral clothing like a cheongsam, not to mention that the shit basin was now on her head.

So he said perfunctorily: "I have nothing to ask, but it's just a maid who gave it away, and he is ashamed to see Lai Shangrong. I'm thinking for him. Sending a maid is an apology!"

Baochai sighed: "Then without Xiangling, what will happen to the accounting?"

Aunt Xue said: "It doesn't matter! I told him before that I would like to invite him to come to the banquet on your brother's third birthday. He also agreed and will ask your brother to ask in the future."

Then he sighed and said: "After all, you are a girl, so exchanging letters all the time is not a long-term solution."

She is also on guard against Lai Shangrong. Although she cannot be sure, she is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If her guess is true, if there is evidence that Baochai is caught writing letters to her foreigner...

Baochai complained: "If I really ask my brother, I'd be exposed if I just say a few words!"

This reminded Aunt Xue, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes! We still can't ask Brother You to go. We'll still ask him face to face in the future, and don't leave any physical evidence!"

Although Baochai was a little puzzled by her mother's change, she just thought it was because she was afraid that the news would be leaked and affect the marriage. Although she was unwilling to do so, she knew it was for her own good and could only nod in agreement.

While the two were talking, they saw Xue Pan walking in, smelling of alcohol.

"Mom! Sister! Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Aunt Xue patted Kang Yan and said, "Son! You sit down first, Mom has something to tell you!"

Although he had told Baochai before that he would not object to giving Xiangling to Lai Shangrong, at that time it was just a joke and he had not considered that it would actually come true.

Instead of waiting for him to notice later, it is better to take advantage of the fact that he and Baochai are both here now, and can persuade him even if he is unhappy, otherwise the incident at the school gate will not end well.

"Hiccup!~" Xue Pan sat down and burped, causing Aunt Xue to move her body hurriedly, causing the ground to shake.

He said earnestly: "It's your birthday in a few days, and you will definitely invite people over to have a drink. Mom is thinking that you just avoided him in the past. If you don't invite people this time, wouldn't it be a real birthday!"

Hearing what she said, Xue Pan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's not like being a whole year old will make things easier, but it's nothing!"

Baochai said angrily: "Brother is confused! I've been able to survive every year but this year. Those who don't know think something happened to our family!"

Seeing his attitude, Aunt Xue felt [-]-[-]% sure, so she coaxed: "Son! Mom knows that you feel uncomfortable, so she thought of giving Xiang Ling to him as an apology, and by the way, she invited him over to eat. Do you like the wine?"

Xue Pan immediately shook his head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid Xiangling is too young, and I'm afraid Brother Lai won't accept it!"

Aunt Xue put her heart back in her stomach and said with a smile: "Jinhun said that if you were not at home in the afternoon, I would invite someone over. Not only did he accept it, he also promised to come to celebrate your birthday on the third day of the lunar month!"

In fact, Xue Pan has always wanted to make up for his infirmity at the beginning, but he has no way out.

This was also caused by Lai Shangrong's misleading statement about Hua Xin's young wife. The so-called Hua Xin was about 24 years old.

If Lai Shangrong knew that he had made such a mistake, he would have to give himself two words.

I saw Xue Pan still looking in disbelief and wondering: "That's not right! Last time we had a drink together in Changchun Garden, he even said that only when you are older can you chew..."

"Pa!" Aunt Xue slapped Xue Pan on the forehead.

"Your sister is still here, what the hell are you talking about?"

Immediately, I don't know what to think of, and my originally white and greasy rich face swelled into a purple sauce.It's just that Xue Pan didn't speak clearly enough. Lai Shangrong was clearly talking about the young wife Hua Xin, but when he said it, she was older. She didn't say how old she was, so Aunt Xue couldn't help but think too much.

This thought is unavoidable. Although she is a generation older, she is actually only 34 or 30 years old. With proper maintenance, she looks like she is only about [-] years old.

Coupled with Lai Shangrong's behavior of shaking off his cheongsam in front of his face and his unique preferences, it's no wonder that she thought more about it.

When he thought about it, Lai Shangrong misunderstood that he was wearing that shameful cheongsam, and his face started to heat up unconsciously.

Xue Pan's mind was full of Lai Shangrong's willingness to take him in, and he didn't care about Aunt Xue's strange behavior.

Baochai, on the other hand, just thought that she was angry with her brother and didn't take it to heart.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

Lai Shangrong stood carelessly on the bed. Qingwen was used to this. Xiangling looked very shy, blushing and not daring to look at him. She waited for him to get dressed with trembling hands.

He heard the secrets of the harem last night, and he was very interested. Although he didn't have a deep memory of Yuanchun, he still imagined a harem action movie through the tattered strips of cloth described by the jade bracelet!

Unlike his contemporaries, he actually had little awe for the emperor himself, but only awe for the power of life and death.

Therefore, the blasphemous thoughts did not burden him psychologically, but instead gave him a bit of blessing from his identity.

If you can bully a slave and bully your master, if you can bully the royal family... then that is really the pinnacle of life in a feudal society, right?

Although this kind of fantasy can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart, the confidentiality of the family home cannot be slacked off. After all, the relationship with Li Wan and others is not visible to the public. If the incident really happens, I am afraid that Shilin's saliva will be enough for him to drink a pot. .

So last night, he summoned his servants together and issued repeated orders emphasizing the rules on how family affairs should not be leaked or discussed in private, and listed a number of punishment clauses...

Various measures will not be repeated one by one.

After morning exercises, bathing, and breakfast, I got on the carriage and went out.

"Brother Lai!"

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, Xue Pan was standing in front of the carriage coyly.

He heard last night that Lai Shangrong had accepted Xiangling and promised to come over to celebrate his birthday, so he almost had to visit overnight.

It was Aunt Xue and Baochai who persuaded her to give up because of the inconvenience at night.

It was rare that I got up early and rushed over to confirm.

Seeing that Xue Pan was coy, Lai Shangrong just thought that he wanted to beg Xiangling, so he stuck his head out of the car window and said rudely: "Xiangling, I already took over the room last night. I can't return it anymore, so you should go back!" "

"No, no, no! Brother Lai has misunderstood! If I had known that she could catch the eye of him, I would have asked her to come and serve her! If there was anything wrong with her, brother, you..."

"Huh? Stop talking nonsense. She is mine now. You should be more careful in the future!"

"Hey! Mother said Brother Lai would be here for my birthday the day after tomorrow?"

He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Seeing that Xue Pan was not asking for Xiangling, Lai Shangrong softened his tone a lot and said with a smile: "Well! That's natural! I have to go to the Yamen now, let's talk about it another day!"

Xue Pan immediately got out of the way and watched the carriage leave with a smile.
