Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 266 Guiding Wang Xifeng

About half an hour later...

Xiaohong has already lived up to her name, the only thing that is not flushed is her eyes, but her eyes are not clear, but numb after a certain emotion reaches its peak.

After Xiaohong slowly recovered, Lai Shangrong sat her on his lap again and said with a smile: "Eat with me!"

"Hey!" Xiaohong agreed, then turned around, picked up the chopsticks, and started feeding.

Lai Shangrong was not idle either. He held his slender waist with one hand and searched up and down. He took the note sent by Wang Xifeng with the other hand and read it carefully again.

After finishing the meal, Xiaohong said anxiously: "Master, don't you want a slave to come over and serve you?"

"You stay with Second Grandma for now. I have some business dealings with her and I need you to pass on the news."

After all, it was a matter of Wang Xifeng's reputation and she had to handle it by herself. He couldn't just tell Xiaohong directly.

"Hey! Then I will follow the Second Mistress first. Is there anything I need to tell you?"

I have to say that Xiaohong's ass is very upright, and she revealed her intention to follow him just after she left Uncle Lai.

"Well! If you think it's important in the house over there, you can come over and tell me everything, no matter how big or small!"

Lai Shangrong did not want to limit her performance and only gave a rough framework for such a smart person.

Of course, he deliberately did not target Wang Xifeng, because her future relationship with Wang Xifeng would inevitably not be known to her. In order to avoid giving birth to the sad idea of ​​​​a rabbit dying and a fox being sad, it was only vague.

"Can you still go?"

"Uh... I take pity on you, please rest for a while before you leave!"

"Then when you have rested, let's go together!"

"Master is going too?"

He shook off a few pages of paper in his hand and said with a smile: "There is something here that I need to tell her about."

"You can't delay the master's affairs because of your servant."

Xiaohong struggled to get up, but was held back by Lai Shangrong.

"Nothing is as important as your body!"

Where did Xiaohong go through this? Jia Baoyu was famous for being affectionate and cherishing jade, but it also varied from person to person. He would not be so petty and tender to a maid.

Even a quasi-aunt like Xi Ren didn't hold back her feet at all when kicking.

After another quarter of an hour, Lai Shangrong, who had done enough superficial work, finally released his hands that were searching up and down after Xiaohong's repeated persuasion.

Following the faltering Xiao Hong, Shi Shiran came to the east corner gate of Rong Mansion.

Although it was late at night, it was not the first time that Lai Shangrong had entered the mansion so late. The servants of Rong Mansion heard that they were looking for Wang Xifeng and did not dare to ask any more questions.

All the way to Wang Xifeng's courtyard, he went straight to the main room.

Xiao Hong, who was still planning to tell the truth, forgot to stop him. She looked at him with a look of horror and stepped in openly.

There was no scolding as Xiaohong imagined.

"Hey! The uncle is here!" Ping'er exclaimed when he saw him.

"Ah!~" Wang Xifeng said in surprise: "Sir...you are a thief with a conscience. Do you know that coming to see me has already benefited me?"

Hehe, it’s pretty quick to get into the role.

"Yeah! I came here with her."

After getting the affirmative answer, it was obvious that Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This time he did not come in the dark, and there was no communication in front of him, so naturally he could only have followed Xiao Hong.

Although I feel that depending on Shangrong's city government, I won't care about my head and body, but I still can't help but worry.

"Ping'er! Go and stay with Xiao Hong outside." Although he had sworn in front of Lai Shangrong, he was found out and turned to him with just a divorce note.

But after all, she still had concerns about the second grandma of the Rongguo Mansion and the concubine of the Lai family, not to mention that it was a matter of honor.

The reason why Ping'er and Xiaohong were guarded together was because they wanted to keep an eye on her.

As long as the matter of looking out for the wind happens once, it is like being on a pirate ship.

She didn't know the purpose of Lai Shangrong's trip, she just thought he was here to reward her and was a considerate gesture by sending Xiao Hong away in advance.

I didn't dare to refuse Uncle Lai's request, so I could only do my best to deal with the aftermath.

Seeing Ping'er closing the door and going out, he tried again: "Do you want someone to call my sister-in-law?"

When Lai Shangrong heard this, he finally understood that she was wrong.

However, with Wang Xifeng's fighting power, it can only be regarded as a dessert after the meal. Although he had just eaten with the meal, Xiaohong had already reserved his hand since it was his first time meeting someone.

"Second Grandma is so considerate, how can I not reciprocate my kindness? I came here specially to serve Second Grandma today."

Wang Xifeng was the dessert after dinner, but Li Wan was worthy of a full banquet, even if he had an empty stomach, he would still be full, let alone now?
What's more, he might have to catch up with Su Yun. The lingering power from last time is still there, so he can only thank Jing Bumin.

Xiao Hong in the hall saw Lai Shangrong entering the back room in a grand manner. Not only was he not scolded, but within a moment, Ping'er in the room led the door out without hesitation.

"Sister Ping'er!" She shouted in confusion.

Ping'er ignored him and said solemnly: "Uncle and grandma have important matters to discuss. Let's keep watch outside."

"Hey!" Xiaohong smacked her tongue secretly. This was such an important matter that even Ping'er couldn't listen to it. She agreed.

Just as he was speculating on the conversation between the two, he heard Ping'er say again: "You are also my uncle now, you should know what to say and what not to say."

Xiao Hong quickly lowered her head and said cautiously: "I know my duty."

After a while, Xiao Hong faintly heard the sound of Wang Xifeng laughing and cursing in the room. Gradually, the sound of yelling and cursing gradually stopped, leaving only the faint cry of gasping for mercy.

Xiaohong had just experienced this sound personally, but she didn't know what it meant. She quietly raised her hot cheek and glanced at Ping'er. Seeing that she seemed not to have heard it, she quietly lowered her head.

Halfway through, the room stopped, and the two whispered, and then a solid state sprouted again. After suffering like this for more than an hour, Lai Shangrong came out of the room.

He slapped Ping'er's butt openly and smiled to himself: "Follow Feng'er An Xin. It's easier for you than them. You can go there when you have time."

Hearing that Uncle Lai even changed his title, he didn't dare to say anything.

He nodded blankly and listened to Ping'er's instructions: "Take the bathtub into the house to get some hot water and wait for grandma to take a bath!"

Ping'er still understood Wang Xifeng, and he guessed that his master could no longer go to the bathing room, so he directly moved the place inside the house.

Not to mention how the three masters and servants of Wang Xifeng will clean up the mess.

But he said that Lai Shangrong left Wang Xifeng's yard with satisfaction. He came here mainly to give Wang Xifeng some advice.

There is no way, women in this era, even a hero like Wang Xifeng, can only have a glimpse of things outside the back house.

So, while taking a break, he introduced to Wang Xifeng in detail the difference between hired workers and servants at home.

He also made an analogy with the maids with excellent professional skills in their respective rooms.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng has a high level of quotient. After listening to Lai Shangrong's analysis, he grasped the key points in an instant. He even drew inferences from one example and came up with some remarkable reward and punishment methods.

It was precisely because of her intelligence that she was rewarded passively by Uncle Lai.

Of course, while giving guidance, Lai Shangrong also did not forget to assign homework, asking her to wait for his re-examination after improving.

Lai Shangrong believes that the time and effort he spends now are worth it. In time, Wang Xifeng should be able to share a lot of trivial business matters for him.

So that he can free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the yamen and external affairs.
