Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 259 Long-lost Xiu Mu
"Uncle! Miss...my uncle is here to see you!"

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xue Yan’s crisp shouts rang out.

"Sister Qingwen, sister Xiangling!"

Although the things are not heavy, Uncle Lai has been deeply poisoned by the feudal society and is used to throwing them around.

"You go and tell me everywhere. I have brought some gifts for the sisters this time."

"Hey!" Xue Yan agreed and ran out like a fool.

Then he hurriedly turned around, smiled brightly at Lai Shangrong, stuck out his tongue and said, "I'll make a cup of tea for my uncle first!"

It has nothing to do with vanity, just like a modern man giving a gift to a woman’s best friend, he will always feel proud of himself. Of course, it can only be given in person, not behind the scenes.

Lai Shangrong brought the gifts to his home and asked everyone to pick them up, which naturally meant that these gifts were for Lin Daiyu's sake.

There are always all kinds of inconveniences when relying on others, and this is equivalent to giving back, so Xueyan was very happy.

Lai Shangrong stepped to the door, only to see Lin Daiyu standing in front of the door, who was elegant and dusty, with a slight blessing, and shyly said: "Brother Lai!"

Seeing Qingwen and Xiangling carrying a few boxes, they just thought they were all kinds of supplements and snacks, and said angrily: "Sister Xing just sent a lot of things before, why did she bring so many things again? The sisters are laughing at me. eat."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and said shyly, "It's all my fault for being greedy. The clothes from previous years don't fit well!"

Lai Shangrong said happily: "Hey! It's the clothes' fault that the clothes are too small. How can you blame my sister for being greedy!"

In Lai Shangrong's view, Lin Daiyu's only shortcoming may be that she is too weak.

Although there is no visual inspection of Lin Daiyu's signs of plumpness, there is always no right to speak without practice in this regard. Naturally, Lin Daiyu's statement shall prevail.

"Then blame Brother Lai for making those snacks that are too greedy!"

While talking, Xue Yan brought the tea to the table in front of Lai Shangrong, and then ran to report the news.

Lai Shangrong looked inside the room and said, "I heard from Xiuyan that Zijuan has gone back to the old lady's house. Can Xueyan take care of it by herself? I'm too busy now and don't have time to teach Xiangling to learn poetry. She has said it several times. , why not ask her to stay and help?"

After hearing this, Xiangling nodded like a chicken eating rice, and then looked at Qingwen with a look of reluctance.

Even if Lai Shangrong's time management skills are full, he has no skills after all. He only lives in his own house for three to five nights a month, and has even less time to teach Xiang Ling.

Lin Daiyu looked at Xiangling, a little desolate, and sighed: "There are maids and women outside, and the snow geese in the house are also busy."

It can be seen that Zijuan's departure makes her feel a little uncomfortable. She has been a close sister for so many years.

However, recalling what happened before, Lin Daiyu had some idea in her mind, and she felt relieved when she thought that Zicuckoo could be regarded as benevolent and benevolent.

Changing the topic: "I heard from Third Sister that Brother Lai is in charge of the peace talks with Xiyi this time?"

"Ha! Does she still care about the affairs of the court?"

Immediately he opened the box, took out the gifts for Daiyu one by one, and introduced them.

"The wine is produced in Western Gaul. It may feel a bit astringent at first, but drinking a little before going to bed will help you sleep. You can try it later to see if it suits your taste and whether it has any effect."

Coughing is just a symptom of Lin Daiyu's frailty. The reason is her weak resistance.

Sentimentality is prone to insomnia, which is the main reason for frailty. Although Jia Baoyu does not have to worry about it now, her insomnia does not happen overnight, and it can easily lead to habitual insomnia.

Drink two cups less before going to bed, and take good care of your body first, which is the most important thing.

As for whether she will become a female drunkard, as long as she controls the amount, it won't be a problem. Of course, Lai Shangrong doesn't mind too much.

Lin Daiyu pointed to the enamel hand fan and wine, and said shyly: "These sisters don't have any, but they are laughing at me again." "Who are you laughing at? You asked her to come to me!" Lai Shangrong pretended to be angry: "Isn't this all for them? Have you prepared a gift? Why are you so ignorant?"

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "It's just a joke among the sisters. It makes me lose face to see others."

Just as he was talking, Wang Xifeng's laughter was heard from outside: "Hey! We came at a bad time, so we should hide first. If we, Miss Lin, have no face to see people, we really have no eyesight."

Lin Daiyu was immediately blushing and blushed. She gave Lai Shangrong a scolding look and turned away.

Lai Shangrong turned around and saw Wang Xifeng walking in with Li Wan on her arm.

"It's better to come early than to come early. My sister-in-law and I just entered the garden when we saw the snow geese running wildly. I heard that brother Lai had brought a gift, so I came here in a hurry, fearing that someone would pick me up."

Compared with Wang Xifeng's liveliness, Li Wan is a little more reserved.

Wei Wei smiled and said calmly: "Brother Lai, Lan'er hasn't caused you any trouble recently, has it?"

"Hey! Brother Lai, are you still worried? Not to mention that Lan Xiaozi is like a little adult. He is just naughty from time to time. Brother Lai, shouldn't he be accommodating?"

Wang Xifeng said with a pun.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Lang is very well-behaved."

"Hey! Why are there so many Western pocket watches? Is this what Brother Lai gave us? This thing is not cheap, but Brother Lai is very generous."

"Hey! You must have miscalculated this time. They are all the same, and you, the early bird, are no different."

"Oh! If I had known better, I wouldn't have come so early. It would have disturbed our sister Lin's eyes. Otherwise, we might be given two bottles of Western wine to try."

After all, Lin Daiyu had not yet left the cabinet, so she could not withstand the teasing of Wang Xifeng, who was not taboo about meat and vegetables, and she lowered her head in shame.

Li Wan was not as well-informed as Wang Xifeng. At this time, he was also curious. He came to the table and bent down to look at the pocket watch and other items on the table. By chance, he happened to be in front of Lai Shangrong.

If Youshi is mature, then Li Wan is mature, but Lai Shangrong personally measured it and knew the root of it.

Thinking of that black dress, if it were put on Li Wan, I don't know what it would look like...Li Wan is also a widow, so there is no sense of violation at all.

"Sister-in-law is not too early. I have something to tell you. This time the negotiation has been concluded with Xiyi. I will buy a rubber estate in Shendu later. I will have to arrange for someone to take care of it when the time comes. .”

After a pause, he said: "I'll go to my sister-in-law's place to discuss it in detail when I have time."

"real!"

Before Wang Xifeng could speak, Li Wan yelled out in surprise, and immediately realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly covered up: "I heard from Lan'er that the poisonous body is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from us. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take care of the property if you buy it so far away?"

Naturally, Wang Xifeng also understood what it meant to take the time to talk in detail, raised her eyebrows, and a pair of sharp red phoenix eyes glanced at Li Wan, who almost exposed her true nature.

When he turned to look at Lai Shangrong, there was no sharpness at all, only a puddle of spring water remained.

He smiled happily and said: "Since Shang Rong thinks there is no problem, can there be any mistakes?"

Seeing Lin Daiyu raise her head slightly, she hurriedly said: "I have said it a long time ago. It's not that one family does not enter the same house. This time Shang Rong has made great achievements and has been granted the title of doctor of Lantai Temple. Isn't he just the same official as Mr. Gu!"

"Bah! She's being annoying again with her talkative words!" Lin Daiyu twisted her body and lowered her head again.

Wang Xifeng quickly begged for mercy and said: "Oh! It's a sin, it's a sin! Look at my flattery slapped on the horse's leg, making our grandma Lai shy."

Lin Daiyu suddenly became anxious. She stood up quickly and reached out to Wang Xifeng's armpit, trying to tickle her. Wang Xifeng kept begging for mercy while shouting "Grandma Lai".
