Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 186 The wedding night (two in one)

Because everything was kept simple, the pink-dressed sedan chair left Huazhi Lane without taking a detour, and turned straight into Ningrong Back Street and entered Lai's house.

Backyard, inside the wing.

Red candle, Luan tent.

Xing Xiuyan stared at the pink hijab covering her head, sitting alone on the large bed, lost in thought.

Thinking of Lai Shangrong's meeting with her a few days ago, he also vowed to hand over the housekeeper's power to her after entering the house. Now it is very ridiculous to think about it, who would hand over the housekeeper's power to a concubine.

Are you saying those words just to tease yourself and hold your hand?

It's funny that I was confused by his words at that time...

He had already reached an agreement with his parents and aunt, but he still deliberately lied to himself with these lies. Fortunately, the sisters in the garden still respected him highly, but he was just a womanizer.

When I think of lust, I can't help but think of my mother's pre-marriage counseling last night, and I feel as if something is burning from head to toe.

In a daze, his eyes looked through the hijab, and he saw Lai Shangrong walking towards him with a lewd smile on his face.

His eagle-like eyes shot out two bright lights, penetrating through his wedding clothes and shining directly on his snow-white body.

Xing Xiuyan was immediately ashamed and angry, and wanted to reach out to cover his vital parts, but his hands didn't obey him at all.

Immediately, Lai Shangrong took it one step further and reached out towards his chest with a look of urgency.

That warm hand seemed to be tearing out his heart, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, and instead a shameful murmur came out of his mouth.

And Lai Shangrong acted as his mother said, as if he had received some kind of instruction.

However, my belief in resisting was not firm, but instead I had a little desire, and gradually I became emotionally moved.

When he was about to break through the last line of defense, he could no longer hold back the shame and anger in his heart.

Finally, a muffled hum came out of his throat.

"No!"

"Girl! Girl! What's the matter with you?"

These two calls were like a bucket of cold water poured on Xing Xiuyan, and she couldn't help but shudder.

It was pitch black in front of him, and the pink hijab was tightly covering his head. Only the slightest light came from the gap under the hijab, so he couldn't see anything outside.

As for himself, his hands were still folded on his lower abdomen, and his clothes were neatly sitting on the Babu bed. Everything just now was just a falsehood.

"Yuanyang...Yuanyang! What time is it?"

"The wedding banquet outside has just begun. Should I go out and ask the uncle?"

"do not!"

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly exclaimed and stopped him.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound from the door opening.

Immediately, Yuanyang said in surprise: "The wedding banquet outside has just started, why is the uncle here?"

When Xing Xiuyan heard that Lai Shangrong had come, she immediately became panicked, her slender legs were tightly closed, and her green fingers were twisted into twists.

"I don't want to entertain them!" Lai Shangrong said as he walked to the table and picked up the scale beam.

Slowly coming to the bed, he lifted up a corner of his hijab, revealing a frightened and frightened face under his head, and a pair of dark eyes that were slightly wary.

Lai Shangrong pretended not to know, half-crouched in front of Xing Xiuyan, and reached out to hold Xing Xiuyan's tightly twisted hands.

Lai Shangrong looked calmly at Xing Xiuyan, who was slightly trembling, and said affectionately: "Xiuyan! I've wronged you."

Then Feng Xiaoyu said: "I am sorry for Xiuyan. Originally, the eldest wife planned to betroth the second young lady to me. Later, because the old lady objected, they also wanted the shares of the state-owned company. I defrauded the shares, and I regretted it afterwards."

Then he sighed and said: "When we met in Hanfang Pavilion that day, I have always been thinking about Xiuyan. Although I wanted to tell the truth that the matchmaker was marrying me, I also knew that I had wronged you by doing so, but I was afraid that the eldest lady and the others would become angry and cause trouble. In addition, your parents have been detained in the Rong Mansion and cannot contact them in private, so they are doing things for their own sake. Xiuyan! Will you forgive me?"

Xing Xiuyan originally thought that Lai Shangrong was a womanizer, but he didn't expect to tell these inside stories. Now that taking concubines has become an established fact, there is no need to tell the truth, so he softly begs for forgiveness.

Thinking of all the thoughtful things he did to his parents and himself, the grievance in his heart also disappeared.

"You don't have to be like this, sir. Marriage is the order of your parents. Although I am from a small family, I still know the principle of obeying my husband when I get married."

"Although I don't have much contact with Xiuyan, I respect you as a person. This may be a bad relationship for Xiuyan, but I cherish it very much. I had no choice but to hide it from you now, but now I don't want to deceive you anymore!"

In this era, no man would say such words to his wife, let alone to a concubine. Xing Xiuyan had never seen such a battle before, and he suddenly choked up.

Lai Shangrong immediately raised his head to the delicate cherry and tasted it carefully for a while.

Parting her lips, she pulled Xing Xiuyan up from the bed.

When he came to the table, he immediately put one hand around Xing Xiuyan's slender waist, took the glass of wine brought by Yuanyang with the other hand, put his mouth to Xing Xiuyan's ear, and waited for her to take the glass.

Xing Xiuyan felt Lai Shangrong's hot breath coming from his ears. He felt a numbness spread from his ears, and his face suddenly turned red.

He hurriedly took the glass of wine and drank together.

Throwing down the wine glass, Lai Shangrong still didn't let her go, wrapping his hands around Xing Xiuyan's slender waist and looking at her affectionately for a long time.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Xing Xiuyan was pushed away by the shameless Xing Xiuyan.

Before entering the house, Lai Shangrong had already ordered Qingwen and Xiangling to deliver food to the house in two quarters of an hour.

There was no big deal and no one he needed to socialize with. He planned to eat with Xing Xiuyan.

Xing Xiuyan couldn't stand this kind of tenderness, and he felt so warm in his heart.

Lai Shangrong chatted while eating: "Xiuyan should be aware of the situation at home. My mother has been taking care of others for most of her life and finally got out of the country. I also want her to be free and enjoy happiness. Although the second sister entered the family earlier than you, But it’s not suitable to handle these things. From now on, the family affairs will be troublesome to you, Xiuyan!”

Xing Xiuyan had already put aside all her anxieties under Lai Shangrong's soft words, and now she had regained her former elegance and calmness.

She originally thought that she was a wife, so she didn't refuse Lai Shangrong's arrangement at first, but now she frowned slightly and said: "I am just a concubine, how can I take care of the housework!"

Lai Shangrong smiled and said: "Whether you, Yuanyang or I marry a wife in the future, to me, you are all my women, there is no difference."

Xing Xiuyan pondered for a moment and said: "I will help my wife first. When grandma comes in, I will leave it to grandma to make the decision."

She has an elegant temperament and has no ambition to usurp the throne, so she declared in advance that she would wait until Lai Shangrong gets married before handing over.

This is an unspoken rule of this era, but Lai Shangrong is still quite happy that she can make this statement.

"Old lady Yuanyang is also in charge of this. If you don't understand anything, you can discuss it with her."

The two chatted while eating. Lai Shangrong knew that Xing Xiuyan was nervous, so he drank two more glasses of wine with her.

After a meal, the banquet outside is drawing to a close.

After clearing the dishes from the table, Lai Shangrong asked Qingwen and Xiangling to say hello to their parents and ask them to help see off the guests.Then he said to Yuanyang: "You know the time, Qingwen and the others will come back soon, remember to prepare hot water towels, you can come in and wait for me later!"

Yuanyang's pretty face turned slightly red, bowed her head and retreated.

After everyone left, he and Xing Xiuyan were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Lai Shangrong stood up suddenly, stretched out his hands, grabbed Xing Xiuyan's catkins, and pulled him up from the stool.

Immediately, Da Heng picked her up, came to the bed, and kicked off her shoes.

Xing Xiuyan had already closed her eyes and dared not look at him, but suddenly her pink back fell down, and she hurriedly opened her eyes, trembling her eyebrows, facing Lai Shangrong's burning gaze, and said shyly: "Master... Master! Deng... Deng doesn't have a wife yet!" "

How could Lai Shangrong be willing to comply? He leaned over and silenced Xing Xiuyan.

Immediately afterwards, the bed curtains swayed and the red candles flickered on and off.

The red candle shines brightly, like daylight, and the night stays bright.

…………

In the back garden of Lai's house, in the house of Second Sister You.

"I heard from your brother-in-law that this time, in order to take in a concubine, Shang Rong spent 3000 taels of silver to buy a stake in the rubber factory for the elder, and also bought a house outside for the Xing family?"

The bottom line of Jia She and his wife is not much different even if there is no bottom line. Lai Shangrong has to be careful.

Therefore, when Xing Xiuyan came in, he handed over the documents for the shareholding to Jia Lian.

This scene was also seen by Jia Zhen who came to congratulate her. Lai Shangrong originally used Jia She as an excuse to shirk Jia Zhen from buying shares, so he did not hide it and also mentioned that he would buy a house.

Second Sister You said with a smile: "What's so good about eating horse chews when you live outside? It's not convenient for my mother and sister to live at home."

"That's what I said, but I heard from your brother-in-law that Shang Rong still plans to ask Aunt Xing to be the housekeeper?"

Although she is a good concubine, the 3000 taels of silver plus a house are seriously excessive for a concubine.

At the beginning, the second sister Lai Shangrong Nayou spent more than this, but it was mainly spent on banquets and ostentation.

The head and face jewelry were all given privately, and Xing Xiuyan was no less.

Therefore, Jia Zhen, Xue Pan and others sighed, and Lai Shangrong brought out Xing Xiuyan's character to stop the gossip outside, and also mentioned it to relieve the pressure on his mother.

Jia Zhen only thought that this was a sign that Second Sister You had fallen out of favor. He was now counting on the sisterhood between You and Second Sister You to buy shares in the state-owned factory, so he asked You to inquire and even make suggestions.

However, Lai Shangrong did not hide this matter from Second Sister You.

Second Sister You said disapprovingly: "The uncle said that she knows books and etiquette. We don't have a mistress in our family yet, so we asked her to help deal with it first. The uncle also said that if the mistress has an heir before she comes in, he will also let Sister Xing take care of it." "

"What?" Youshi said in shock: "How can this be done? Whoever takes care of this child will be close to him when he grows up. Sister, your family has no shortage of servants. You have your own wet nurse and servants to take care of the child. It doesn’t take much energy, so why bother to rely on others.”

"The uncle said that I only know a few words, but in the future the children will also learn to read and learn rituals!"

Youshi Dundun taught: "Sister, you must listen to my advice. This concubine has always been a servant of Israel. If you can have children, the mother will be more valuable than the child in the future, but if the child will not kiss you in the future, , who can you expect to go when you are old and lusty?"

Then he sighed and said: "Look at me, sister, if I can have a son and a half, I can still hope that my son will separate the family in the future. At worst, I will live with my son. How can I be as cautious and swallow my anger as I am now! It's better for you, Even if you have your own children, you still have to leave them to others to take care of, how can this happen!"

Second Sister You didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening to You's analysis, she became more and more flustered. She couldn't help complaining: "But...but the uncle said it, what can I do about it!"

Youshi said: "This is a top priority. If you have no choice, you have to find a way. Since the rules haven't been established yet, it's best to persuade your brother-in-law to change his mind as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it becomes a rule, it will be difficult to change it in the future. !”

"But the uncle has always been right. What can I do if I call my sister?"

"Isn't my sister stupid? You'll use all the tricks you usually use to flatter me, and you'll beg her softly. As long as your brother-in-law is coaxed and his heart softens, can you still agree to it?"

Then he analyzed: "I think my brother-in-law is also trying to be novel. He is doting on the Xing family girl right now. After a while, the novelty has worn off. If you try your best again then, you will probably not disapprove!"

Second Sister You fell into deep thought after hearing this. There are indeed many ways to invite favors and flattery, but if she can use them, why can't others use them?
Moreover, those routines were taught by the uncle, and the Xing family sister can naturally learn them. In addition, the mandarin duck is still in her house. When she was guarding the door, she had planned to replace the jade bracelet that did not please the uncle with the mandarin duck. Unfortunately, One step too late.

Second Sister You couldn't help but sigh. If the uncle liked his sister, with her color, the two sisters wouldn't have to worry about cooperating.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Youshi with burning eyes.

The uncle doesn't like his sister, but he has plans for her. If he can... then...

The uncle had previously said that he wanted me to hang my sister, but I don’t know if it was because I was busy with concubines that I forgot about it for a while.

What better way to invite favors than to help the uncle fulfill his wish?

Besides, my sister's identity cannot be seen in the light, so I will have to help cover it up in the future.

Youshi was confused by her sudden gaze. She touched her face and asked doubtfully, "But what's on your face?"

Second Sister You sneered: "It's not like you've got anything on it. It's just that it's ugly and inconvenient for you to sleep in this outfit!"

Then he climbed out of bed, rummaged through the cabinets, took out a suspender skirt, and threw it on the bed.

"Sister, try this on me!"

This suspender skirt is much more convenient to wear than bellybands and trousers. Second Sister You, Third Sister You and others have already used it as pajamas.

Youshi has always noticed it. There is also a package on the back of this suspender skirt, which is much tighter than a bellyband. However, Jia Zhen's order to invest has not yet been settled, and she is too embarrassed to ask her to teach her how to do it.

Now my sister takes the initiative to take out her own clothes, just thinking that she is grateful for my advice.

So I took off my bellyband and shyly put on a suspender skirt.

Second Sister You looked at You's skirt that was stretched out by her obscene pants, and laughed: "Sister, you are not taller than me. The hem of your skirt almost reaches your knees, why are you still wearing obscene pants!"

As he said that, he started to tear it apart.

Youshi was frightened by her sudden move and backed away hurriedly.

Second Sister You stopped her movements, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My sister is not an outsider. Is it possible that my sister is still afraid of her!"

Youshi looked at her sister, then looked down at herself.

Realizing that it was really not that interesting, I suppressed my shame and tried to imitate him.

"My third sister can also make this dress. I'll ask her to measure it for my sister tomorrow and make two of them too!"

You didn't know what Second Sister You was planning, but she was secretly happy that she moved into Lai's house just to open up a relationship. In the past, Second Sister You had always been lukewarm to her, but she didn't expect that today's plan would make the two of them unhappy. The relationship has become much closer, and I think the tasks assigned by Jia Zhen are not far away from being completed.

He put the thin quilt on his body and said with a smile: "It's indeed a bit tight, but I'd better ask Third Sister to make it longer for me. It's still a bit unflattering without wearing any obscene pants."

Second Sister You sneered and said, "It's just April now. If the weather gets hotter in a while, I'm afraid it will be too long!"
