Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 216 Preheating
Early the next morning.

The Rongguo Mansion became noisy.

Normally, we should leave in the morning, but because Jia Zheng was in a hurry and had not completed all the rituals yesterday, we postponed our trip until the afternoon.

Since Lai Shangrong and relatives from the clan were also invited, the reception work had to be prepared in advance.

As the steward of the back house of Rong Mansion, Wang Xifeng naturally has to get up early and be busy.

Therefore, Ping'er gets up early before dawn.

After washing up, thinking that Lai Shangrong would rarely come over, he took advantage of Sister Feng to get up and dressed up in front of the dressing mirror.

Wang Xifeng was always a light sleeper. After listening to the sound, she got up and saw Ping'er, tracing her eyebrows in front of the dressing mirror.

Immediately, he became angry, lifted the thin quilt, got up and came behind Ping'er, grabbed the eyebrow pencil and threw it on the dowry table.

He scolded: "You little rascal, who will you show your profligate attire! He has already eaten and wiped himself off, so there is no room for us in his heart!"

It is not once or twice that the two compete in the same field, Ping'er is not afraid of her, and complains: "Grandma, what kind of monster is this?"

"Am I a monster? I asked him to help me, but he always resisted me!" Wang Xifeng pinched her fingertips and yelled.

Then he pointed at Ping'er: "Wherever I go today, you go wherever I go. If you sneak away to see the Thousand Sword Killer, watch your skin carefully!"

After saying that, he pushed Ping'er's shoulder with his buttocks, squeezed Ping'er away, and sat down in front of the dressing table.

Ping'er wasn't angry when he saw her duplicity. He turned around and put the mouthwash brush and water bottle on the dressing table. Then he picked up a towel from the basin that had been prepared on the shelf, twisted it, and washed her face.

After washing up, he came behind her and started dressing her up.

"Grandma is angry with the uncle, and you are not the one who suffers the loss. Even if you want to ask the uncle for help, you can at least be careful with me. The uncle is always willing to accept the soft and not the hard."

"He eats soft things but not hard things. How can my aunt be able to eat them..."

Speaking of this, I don't know what I thought of, and I spat a few times: "Bah, bah, bah! I was almost taken into the ditch by a little wanderer."

Ping'er covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Grandma, why should you deceive yourself, you still eat less of the hard ones?"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling guilty and short of breath, so she could only scold him: "You little bastard, you can only turn your elbows outward to speak for him."

"I'm not worried about grandma. If you really piss me off, won't you stop seeing me? Then can you still do business?"

"He dares!" Wang Xifeng said with a stern tone: "If he dares to cut off my business, the worst is possible!"

"Of course the uncle is not that kind of person, but if grandma doesn't see him, how can we talk about future business?"

"Hmph! When did I say I won't see him anymore? He is a cruel thief and never comes!"

"How about I go find the uncle to talk to you?"

In the end, Wang Xifeng still couldn't get rid of his face, gave in and gave in, deceiving himself and others: "You are going to find him, not me."

After a pause, he continued: "If he is cruel, you will not even think about seeing him again in the future!"

Ping'er said hurriedly: "How come the uncle refuses to come? It's just because I had an unpleasant quarrel with grandma last time, so it's hard to come here now!"

Then he hesitated and said: "But grandma, I can't get rid of the dirt in my eyes. Uncle Xiao Rong has been coming here more frequently recently. If I let you know, I'm afraid I won't come again in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I look down on myself, I can't take advantage of him. He can't even protect his own mother-in-law. How can I know? If he really gets involved, I'm afraid I'll become their father's plaything. ”

"Then why doesn't grandma shy away from it?"

"Hmph! If it weren't for Lian Er who was instigated by their father and son, would my aunt be in this situation?"

After all, she asked Lai Shangrong for help because Jia Lian had the idea of ​​divorcing his wife.

Otherwise, if you go back to the first room, although the power is not as good as that of the second room, you will still be the housekeeper.

It happened that Jia Rong came up at this time, and all the old and new grudges were aroused for a while, so he pretended to be a coward and inquired about the illegal activities of the father and son, hoping to take the opportunity to take revenge.

After Ping'er heard this, she thought she had been ignored by Lai Shangrong, and she wanted to rebuild the old relationship with Jia Lian.He said hurriedly: "Grandma, maybe she wants to be with Second Master Lian again..."

"Bah! It's easier to let him die outside!"

Ping'er dropped a stone and asked tentatively: "What about grandma?"

"The thief refused to help with that matter, let me see what he says this time!"

"What does grandma mean?"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Brother Rong dares to think that way. How can he survive this if Auntie doesn't ask him to suffer a little! Just tell him directly that both the father and son of Dongfu have their thoughts on me. I Let’s see if he is willing to be this turtle!”

"This turtle can't even get his turn!"

"Bah! Who are you from? You said before that he couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes, but now you are excusing him?"

"Why do you mean this, slave? It's just..."

"If not, go tell him! I've given him solid evidence of the crime, let's see if he dares to reveal it!"

"It's just that Uncle Zhen is brother-in-law with Uncle Zhen after all, he can't..."

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly: "Brother-in-law, I don't know what kind of character he is? I didn't know how brave he was before, but now... Sister-in-law Zhen from Dongfu lives in his house every day, I don't believe he can Can you bear not to cheat? Hasn't he even thought about Mrs. Qin's beauty, whom I feel pity for? Maybe we've hooked up with her a long time ago. Otherwise, why didn't Mrs. Qin run to us instead of running to his house? "

Ping'er was determined to tell the difference for Lai Shangrong, but Wang Xifeng's analysis was very clear, and it was indeed suspicious that Qin Keqing went to Lai's house instead of coming to Rong's house for help.

Thinking that Uncle Lai even dared to plot against his own master, he couldn't say anything to refute.

…………

Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village.

Li Wan's master and servants were also getting up early to dress up, and they also got the news that Lai Shangrong had entered the house today.

Unlike Wang Xifeng who wants to take revenge through Lai Shangrong, Li Wan is worried about his son.

While sitting and letting Suyun dress up, he muttered to himself: "Why did you put the book away and didn't read it, and dumped it in some Lao Shizi factory, you remember, you must find a chance to ask him later!"

"Grandma! We are in this garden, and uncle can't come in. You hold the key. Why don't I make an appointment with uncle, and let's take advantage of the silence of the night..."

Unlike Li Wan, she had gained experience after being with him for so many years. Just when her adultery was in full swing, she suddenly cut off contact and couldn't care much for a while.

Of course, Li Wan wasn't much better than her. His old house was on fire and he couldn't be saved.

However, her son was more important in her heart than Suyun's indifference.

This was also Lai Shangrong's intention, otherwise he might not have had the chance to meet him after visiting the park several times.

"My mother-in-law is guarding the front and back doors at night, so how can I open the door? Besides, even if we open the garden gate for him, how can he get in through the back door of the house?"

Obviously, Li Wan had also considered the feasibility, but she didn't know that Lai Shangrong already had the backdoor key.

Seeing that Li Wan was showing signs of loosening up, Su Yun hurriedly said: "It's a hot day and there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. I've looked at it a few times. How can there be anyone guarding the door in the middle of the night? There is a gate in Lixiangyuan that leads to the outside of the garden. Corner gate, there are little actors living there, and they are not strictly controlled, why not ask the uncle if there is any way to come in through that way."

"Really?"

"How dare you lie about such a big matter?" Seeing that Li Wan was already moved, Su Yun said, "Besides, Uncle Lai is here this time, and I don't know when the next time will be. What if there is news? I don’t know, wouldn’t it have delayed Lang Geer?”

These words were undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back.

In the final analysis, Li Wan just lacked an excuse.

He hesitated and said: "Then... Then why don't you go ask and see if he can come in?"

"Hey! This slave will go find the uncle in a moment!"
