Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 236 Rewards
Inside the Shenji Camp campus.

Lai Shangrong, who had just handed over the last batch of firearms, was chatting and laughing with Qiu Yijun, while Qin Zhong fell behind the two of them, occasionally picking up a pen to record something.

I saw Xia Shouzhong walking quickly with a bright yellow scroll.

"Lai Shangrong accepts the order!"

Lai Shangrong bowed his head.

"In accordance with the imperial edict of Heaven, we have Lai Shangrong, a state-owned minister, who is diligent, loyal, and concerned about state affairs. He is a capable minister in governing the country... I am very relieved and have given him a mansion and a number of servants...

Appreciate this! "

After Xia Shouzhong finished reading, he saw Lai Shangrong still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and whispered: "Master Lai, Master Lai, why don't you accept the order to thank me!"

Lai Shangrong woke up suddenly and hurriedly received the order and thanked him.

Although the imperial edict did not specify which mansion it was, since it specifically emphasized bringing servants, combined with the details of his plea and the arrangements in the Ning Mansion, the answer was obvious.

Smiling, he got up and took the imperial decree, handed over a bank note, and asked tentatively, "Which mansion is it?"

Xia Shouzhong put the banknote into his arms calmly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Lai, this is a majestic state mansion, go with the miscellaneous family to handle the handover!"

"Hey!" Lai Shangrong hurriedly bowed in an inviting gesture, said goodbye to Qiu Yijun and Qin Zhong, and followed Xia Shouzhong away.

…………

In Ningfu.

Since Yuchai started visiting, the situation of Youshi and others has been completely different from before.

Having solved the problem of getting dressed, and being able to enjoy a delicious meal the next day, although it is not as good as before, everyone who has gone through the hardship cherishes this hard-won thing.

My gratitude to Lai Shangrong is beyond words.

On this day, Yu Chuan had just returned from visiting when he heard the woman outside the house beating a gong, calling for everyone to gather in the courtyard.

Youshi and Qin Keqing had already experienced it when they raided the Ning Mansion. They knew that something big must have happened, and even had a vague premonition that it was related to their final destination.

This was the first time Xichun encountered him, and he felt even more uneasy.

Lai Sheng's family and three maids protected the three Yous and huddled at the back of the crowd.

I saw several female prison guards dressed up and counting to the crowd like animals.

Suddenly, a strong sense of humiliation surged into my heart, followed by fear of the unknown.

Because they were at the end, after the heads of the female prisons finished counting, they stood behind and checked the numbers, and then began to mutter in a low voice.

"Isn't it the Ministry of Household Affairs' responsibility to grant a house? Why should we be held responsible this time?"

"It seems that I heard that to save trouble, the house has not yet been registered in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so that we don't have to worry about it."

"Who was given such a big house to?"

"How would we know this? He must be a high official after all!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! That adult is quite lucky!"

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Qin Keqing always felt that the female prison boss who said this looked at him while speaking, and a deep sense of sadness filled her heart.

Yuchai had just left and obviously didn't know about the sudden gift of a house. Doesn't it mean that Lai Shangrong was too late to save him?

Youshi and Xichun have the same idea as her.

In fact, their guess was not wrong, because the three of them were huddled together, and the three maids were all good-looking, so they aroused the emotion of the female prison chief.

Just when the three of them were dejected and frightened, a noise suddenly came from the front.

"Uncle Lai!"

……

The shouts of "Uncle Lai" are endless.

The three people quickly raised their heads and saw Lai Shangrong, accompanied by a palace servant, searching for something in the crowd.

Although I don't know why he appeared here, but when I saw his figure, I just felt that a stone fell to the ground in my heart, and a sense of steadfastness came to my heart.

Of course Lai Shangrong was searching for them. There was nothing interesting to see in the house. The main thing was to confirm whether the three of them were inside.

Seeing the master and servant huddled in the corner, their eight eyes met, or Lai Shangrong's two eyes to be precise, and they confirmed their eyes with the three of them at the same time.

When I saw Qin Keqing's eyes that were filled with grievances, fear, resentment, and self-pity, they seemed to be able to enchant the soul.

He nodded to her imperceptibly, turned around and completed the handover with Xia Shouzhong.

He took out two more banknotes and stuffed them in, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, father-in-law!" Xia Shouzhong took it with a smile: "Here are the house deeds, land deeds and body deeds. Mr. Lai, take your time and read them. The Za family will not disturb you. Let's go ahead." Returned to the palace and returned to life!"

Immediately, with a wave of his hand, the female prison guards of the Jinyi Guards all around filed out together with the Jin Yiwei who managed the male servants in the outer courtyard and left together.

Lai Shangrong sent Xia Shouzhong all the way out of the gate of Lai Mansion, which had already had its plaque replaced.

As soon as he walked back through the door, he saw a hunched-over man who looked like a manager coming up to him.

"Uncle! The younger one was originally following Butler Lai..."

Before he finished speaking, Lai Shangrong kicked him away.

The crowd randomly clicked on one, and said: "You, guard the door, restrain the people first, and the uncle will make arrangements later."

After saying that, he hurried to the backyard.

Everyone could clearly hear the conversation between Lai Shangrong and Xia Shouzhong, so how could they not know who the new owner of the house was.

At this time, in the backyard, Youshi, Qin Keqing, Xichun and Lai Sheng's family had been pushed to the front row like stars over the moon.

"Shang...Uncle Lai!" Seeing him coming in, You said with a smile.

"Auntie, please go home and meet the old lady first!"

Watching Lai Sheng's family leave, Lai Shangrong turned to Youshi and nodded, saying with a pun: "Sister, there is no need to be polite. Shangrong is not a person who does not miss old relationships. Please take people to the hall first and distribute the errands in the house. Go down, and when everything is settled here, I will ask the second sister to come over and accompany you."

"Hey!"

Youshi obviously understood what Lai Shangrong meant, and hurriedly agreed, lowering her head and not daring to look at him, and hurriedly led the people away.

Watching Youshi swaying away, Lai Shangrong secretly called him a scumbag.

It's always better if he doesn't get started. He has the temperament to look forward to Shu, so of course he can't care about Youshi now.

Lai Shangrong turned to Xichun, touched her head, and said with a warm smile: "Don't worry, sister Xichun, all the supplies will be as they were originally there, but from now on I will have to live here alone. You have to look around first." , pick a yard to live in."

At this time, Xichun's pale face was rosy, and she said timidly: "I... Xichun dare not ask extravagantly, I just ask Brother Lai to let me practice by the side of the ancestral hall, and the green lantern will always be with me from then on..."

Lai Shangrong's arrangement was not inappropriate, but Xichun knew very well that even if all the supplies were as provided in Rong Mansion, she would no longer be a young lady.

It is even more impossible to accept it calmly. To avoid embarrassment, always accompanying Qingdeng may not be a way out.

"Hey! Why do you say such depressing words at such a young age? The days ahead are still long. You go and choose a place to live first, and we'll talk about it later!"

The little loli still needs to be nurtured, and Lai Shangrong doesn't want to waste this beautiful embryo.

"Miss! Let's listen to Uncle Lai and choose a place to live first."

Xichun wanted to say more, but was dragged away by Ru Hua.

Lai Shangrong watched Xichun's figure disappear. When he turned around, he saw Qin Keqing raising her eyes and looking at him with a pair of eyes filled with endless resentment.

He murmured with tearful eyes: "Uncle Tired..."

Having said this, I felt that Lai Shangrong's eyes were bursting with flames, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, and he was suddenly shocked.

This kind of 'cannibalistic' look was not unfamiliar to her, but she had never seen it in Lai Shangrong's eyes.

It's not that he never revealed it, that day when he was playing with the lotus feet in his chest...

Thinking of this, I felt a numbness welling up from the soles of my feet, and my body suddenly trembled, almost losing my footing.

Immediately, he felt a hot big hand tightly grasping his slender waist. He noticed that Lai Shangrong's palm exerted a slight force, and a squirming and biting feeling spread to his limbs in an instant.

Unable to restrain himself any longer, he fell into Lai Shangrong's arms, looked at the empty houses around him with fear, and murmured: "Uncle!~"

Qin Keqing's tenderness is natural, but at this moment, her shyness adds a charming spring, which makes people want to conquer her completely.

Lai Shangrong laughed, leaned over and kissed her forehead and lips.

While Qin Keqing was dazed, he felt the world was spinning. In a hurry, two tender lotus-like arms wrapped around Lai Shangrong's neck unconsciously.

Lai Shangrong held his pink back with one hand and his soft thigh with the other, holding Princess Qin Keqing on his body as if he were hugging her, and walked into the hall with his head held high.

He couldn't wait for the evening, and planned to pick this delicate flower in the main hall of the former Ningguo Mansion under the clear sky and daylight.

Qin Keqing was also ashamed and buried her head in his neck.

With trembling eyelashes, he exhaled softly and said, "But you have been thinking about your uncle too!"

This sentence seemed to have touched some mechanism. Qin Keqing felt that Lai Shangrong's footsteps seemed to be a little faster, causing gusts of wind to ring in his ears.
