Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 188 Accident
Although Xing Xiuyan is young, she has a kind-hearted nature, is knowledgeable in etiquette, and handles things appropriately. In addition, she also serves her parents-in-law with all her heart, and she has the demeanor of a big woman.

He also treated Sister You with courtesy, who came in earlier than him, and did not slack off at all because of the housekeeper.

Three days before entering the house, Lai Shangrong stayed in the east wing, which she accepted calmly (if she couldn't bear it, she asked Yuanyang to do it for her). When the three days were over, she pushed Lai Shangrong to Sister You's room, politely and politely.

Within half a month of his arrival, all the Lai family members, including Aunt Lai, Mr. and Mrs. Lai, and the servants and servants, all praised him.

Although Lai Shangrong also suggested that she live in the back garden, she insisted on serving the old man and living in the east wing of the main courtyard.

On this day, when Lai Shangrong returned home from the office, Xing Xiuyan immediately came up to him, took Lai Shangrong's arm and said: "Master! When I came in, all the sisters sent congratulatory gifts. I thought I would take the time to go there tomorrow to express my gratitude! "

Lai Shangrong nodded and said: "I think it's better to wait for two days. On the 26th, they will have to pay tribute to the Flower God. You should also go and have fun with them. I'll go to the Yamen first then, and I'll find you later!"

It was Lai Shangrong's excuse to say that he would go to the Yamen and come back early. The emperor had not returned from his hunting trip and the rubber factory had already started construction, so he had a lot of free time.

Since there is no hope of getting married to Yingchun, Lai Shangrong will of course go to Rong Mansion to play a game if he has something to do.

There are only a few days until the Ear Grain Festival. On this day, it is fashionable for women in the boudoir to pay homage to the God of Flowers. I remember that Dai Yu’s song for burying flowers was also completed on this day.

For an artistic young woman like Dai Yu, the only way to win favor is to resonate with her. He was worried that he would not have a chance to show off, so he didn't want Xing Xiuyan to propose a return gift, so he gave him a chance.

After discussing with Xing Xiuyan and giving each other gifts in return, the two returned to their rooms.

Back in the room, he held Xing Xiuyan in one hand and the mandarin duck in the other, and lined up the two of them on the bed, "Jie Jie Jie!" There was an evil laugh, and just as he jumped, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangling's soft and waxy voice came: "Aunt Xing! Are you there?"

Then a series of footsteps sounded, followed by Qingwen's scolding: "Damn it! The uncle and aunt are sleeping peacefully now. Is it too late to ask tomorrow?"

"Come in... come in!"

Xing Xiuyan and Yuanyang got up from the bed with red heads and swollen faces, and straightened their clothes.

Lai Shangrong looked at Xiang Ling who came in with his head lowered as if he had made a mistake and couldn't bear to scold him.

"Grand... uncle!"

"What do you want from Xiuyan?"

Qingwen, who came in with her, saw Xiangling standing twisting a twist, and helped explain: "I was just getting ready to go to bed in the room when I suddenly thought of a poem, and I didn't know why I went crazy, so I came here to find him. Aunt!"

Ever since Xing Xiuyan passed the door, nothing is more happiest than Xiangling, who has gained another master who studies poetry.

Lai Shangrong smiled and said: "Since we are all ready to sleep, there is no need to go back. Let's rest here!"

Immediately, regardless of whether Xing Xiuyan was shy or not, Daheng carried him back to the bed, resting his two long, fleshy legs as pillows, and waved to the other three people.

After all, Qingwen and Xiangling had met each other before and knew what Uncle Lai was planning. Although they had not yet met Xing Xiuyan candidly, they could not favor one over the other.

It's just that I can't wipe my face for a while. It's neither advancing nor retreating while standing there.

Yuanyang is shy and can't leave even if he wants to.

"Do you still want to ask? Just go back without asking you!"

Qingwen didn't realize anything about this, but after hearing this, Xiangling walked to the bed obediently, stepped on her embroidered shoes and climbed onto the bed shyly.

Afraid of someone taking the lead in everything, Yuanyang and Qingwen looked at each other and followed suit and went to bed.

Lai Shangrong laughed and immediately gathered the three of them in his arms.While listening to Xiang Ling's thoughts about Xing Xiuyan, she closed her eyes and thought about how to resonate with Daiyu on the Manzhong Festival, while a blind man touched an elephant to measure each person's stature.

…………

Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang’s Courtyard.

Mrs. Wang helped Jia Zheng sit on the edge of the Kang table, then returned to the other side of the Kang table, smoothed her skirt, and sat down at the other end, squeezing the ripe peach behind her into a half-circle around her body.

There was a bit of resentment on his face and he said: "Master! Your bones are getting better now. You should live a good life and cultivate yourself!"

Jia Zheng's face darkened and he said: "We, who are the emperor's salary, should repay the imperial court. How can we cherish our lives?"

"Master, are you going to reinstate yourself?"

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said: "It doesn't count as reinstatement. By the time the Emperor and the Emperor come back from their hunting trip, my body and bones should be almost healed. I'll make some preparations now and look back to see if I have the chance to seek another academic post!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang hesitated to speak. She pondered for a long time, and then sighed: "My master broke his body when he came back last time. He has just recovered. How can he withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling!"

This time when Jia Zheng came back, although he stayed in her house, he was unable to do anything because of his back injury. Now that he had to get ahead and travel far away, how could Mrs. Wang be willing to do so.

Jia Zheng said dissatisfied: "Last time, my wife was visiting for marriage and she came back in a hurry. How can it be the same?"

He is in a hurry to leave Beijing, and of course he is not just an official addict.

Doting concubines and destroying wives has always been a stone in his heart. To solve this hidden danger, the best thing is to use the name of Aunt Zhao's doting concubine.

The most convenient way is not to "throw Aunt Zhao into the cold palace", but to fall in love with her, support another concubine, and divert attention.

He had always wanted to take possession of Jin Chuan's house, but after many twists and turns, he had never been able to do so. If he could take it with him when he released it this time, wouldn't he spread the word widely?
Thinking of this, he stopped covering up and said solemnly: "I think that girl Jin Chuan is okay. This time I will ask her to serve with me. When the order comes from me, I will give her a status!" "

"Gold... golden bracelet..."

Jia Zheng said with a straight face: "What? Do you have any objection?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "No! How could it be! I just didn't expect that the master would like her, but it's her blessing!"

She knew Jia Zheng's character very well. If she said that she intended to give Jin Chuan to Baoyu, she would definitely be angry with her.

It's not that he's worried that he will steal a woman from his son, but that he has always wanted to save face and avoid such things. Now, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was not discussed with him in advance about giving the gold necklace to Baoyu, and he accidentally got into the passenger car. .

Although it will not be spread externally, Jia Zheng is afraid that he will not be happy in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will be angry with himself.

Even Jia Zheng would suspect that she deliberately used words to prevent him from taking concubines, and he must inquire why. The matter of encouraging his daughter to practice secret techniques told Jia Zheng that he would rarely be lectured.

It was a shame to be lectured, but Jia Zheng came back this time and ignored Aunt Zhao. Of course, Mrs. Wang had no reason to push him out.

For her, Aunt Zhao's son and daughter were far less threatening than the Bai family daughter she brought from the Wang family.

As for the son, she is just a maid, and it will be enough to replace her later. After all, I have mentioned it to him.

However, Jin Chuan was diligently practicing Lai Shangrong's secret method of giving birth, so he had to be careful. It seemed that he had to keep her close to him and let her stop for a while, so that he might be able to get a discount.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Although I am in good health, I still haven't recovered yet. How about waiting for a while before closing the house?"

This reason was fair and aboveboard, and Jia Zheng didn't want to be too impatient, so he nodded and said: "I'll do as you say, wait until the decree comes down, and then I will promote her status!"
