Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 282

After dinner was over and it was almost Hai hour, Lai Shangrong said goodbye to Jia Lian and the other three, and returned to Rongqing Hall, preparing to take Xing Xiuyan home.

But as soon as he left Rongqing Hall, Tanchun suggested: "Sister Xing is carrying such a heavy body, it will be inconvenient to walk at night. I think it is better to stay in the garden at night. We can discuss the association tomorrow." matter."

Xing Xiuyan is only three months old now, and she doesn't even show that she is pregnant. She can't be said to be heavy.

However, when she said this, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan immediately agreed.

"Yes, yes! Just live with Sister Lin. You are all a family anyway, so there is no need to trouble others."

With this said, Lin Daiyu had to take a stand.

"I have everything ready-made. It's a rare opportunity. I also want to talk to Sister Xing Bingzhuye."

"uncle!"

Xing Xiuyan also looked at Lai Shangrong eagerly, she didn't want to live in the garden, but she was afraid that something might happen to Yelu after being told by Tanchun.

The child in her belly now is the baby of the Lai family.

When Lai Shangrong saw this, he could only say: "Then I will send you to Sister Lin's place to rest! I will ask Yuanyang to pick you up tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng immediately smiled and said with a pun: "I still have to serve the old lady. My sister-in-law is the oldest, so I have to take good care of her!"

"You don't have to say that!" Li Wan said with a smile.

In this way, a group of people walked out of the back building of Rongxi Hall and came to the entrance of Wang Xifeng's courtyard. Tanchun stopped Lai Shangrong and said: "There are so many of us protecting Sister Xing, can't Brother Lai still feel uneasy? There are many people entering the garden at night. If you’re inconvenienced, why not leave it to us!”

Li Wan retorted: "Shang Rong is not an outsider, so what's the inconvenience? He can just go back through the back garden gate in a while. If you don't ask him to look at Xiu Yan, can he rest assured?"

Tan Chun argued with reason: "What's there to worry about? Qingwen and Xiangling are both following us. Can we still sell Sister Xing?"

Qingwen and Xiangling were sent to Lai Shangrong's old house to take care of them since Xing Xiuyan became pregnant.

"It's getting late. I have to go to the office tomorrow, so I'd better go back first!"

The dispute between the two made Xing Xiuyan feel a little sorry, so he had to express his position.

Li Wan couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only follow the others angrily, pass through the west corner door of the back corridor, and go to the Grand View Garden.

It turned out that Lai Shangrong only thought that Tan Chun was a deliberate show of goodwill and deliberately let herself go from the big flower hall. Considering the last time, she spied on the adultery between herself and Aunt Zhao here, it seemed that she had gone wrong.

Are you selling your mother for glory?Or want to design your own?

Sure enough, when they arrived in front of the big flower hall, they saw Aunt Zhao leaning out half of her body.

Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Uncle!~"

Lai Shangrong looked around and saw no one, but did not go in. He just said at the door: "Aren't you afraid that the third girl is plotting against us?"

Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "How dare she! I told her that if the wife knew about it, I would tell her that she had a share in the poisoning."

Lai Shangrong no longer hesitated and immediately stepped in.

Originally, he was surprised that even if Tanchun was afraid of him, there was no reason to deliberately please him. After hearing Aunt Zhao say this, I am afraid that the credit must fall on her.

As soon as he entered the big flower hall, Aunt Zhao immediately threw herself into his arms.

He said sincerely: "The slave family finally understands, that means the uncle is sincerely good to the slave family!"

Ok?
He threatened Tanchun by poisoning Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, but why did he actually treat her sincerely when it came to her mouth?
Lai Shangrong was not clear about the changes in this, but it was not difficult to find out from her mouth.

However, Aunt Zhao doesn't have time to talk for the time being, so she can only enjoy her sincere service first, and ask questions later when she is free.

…………at the same time.

A small courtyard in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion.

Because Xue Baoqin was left to rest in her room by Jia Mu.

Xue Pan followed Xue Pan to the small courtyard in the northeast corner of the Xue family's home, and formally met Aunt Xue.

It tells about the current situation of the family and the parents' arrangements for Xue Baoqin's marriage.

"My mother told her nephew before she came that he should follow the arrangements of his aunt and cousin."

Aunt Xue sat on the couch and sighed: "Oh! It's a pity that no one in our family can talk to the Mei family. If Shang Rong is willing to accompany you, at least you will have someone to take care of you."

Xue Pan didn't know what happened in Rongqing Hall, so he hurriedly said: "How can you trouble Brother Lai?"

Baochai retorted: "Brother is confused! This is for Baoqin's life event, and it is the last wish of his second uncle. Besides, the Mei family is in the same palace as him, and they are from Hanlin, so they can have more friendship with his future officials. The road also helps.”

Then he sighed: "It's a pity that our family was alienated from him before, and he refused to help us!"

"Sparse... alienated?" Xue Biao asked doubtfully.

He met Lai Shangrong for the first time today, and he didn't feel alienated. Instead, he was sent to Rong Mansion by his hand, and he chatted and laughed with Xue Pan, just thinking that his aunt and his family were on good terms with him.

"Hmph!" Xue Pan snorted coldly: "But you only have Baoyu in your eyes. You are really a woman. If you follow my wishes, you may have changed your title now."

It was rare for him to gain control of one thing, so he became more and more fond of showing off, regardless of age or inferiority.

"Shut up!" Aunt Xue was so angry that she was trembling, pointing at Xue Pan and saying, "What are you talking nonsense about here again? Do you even want to lose your sister's reputation?"

She had time to stop her, but she purposely waited for Xue Pan to finish speaking, and also used Xue Pan's mouth to point out the golden and jade marriage, so as to remind Xue Baoqin through him.

Although Xue Biao didn't know what Aunt Xue was thinking, she got the clue.

He couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Although Jia Baoyu only met her once, he looked like a dandy. Not only did he not understand the ways of the world, but he also seemed to have some dandy habits. His cousin had always been quite insightful. How could he tolerate this?
On the other hand, Lai Shangrong not only has extraordinary knowledge, but even Jia Lian, the concubine in the Duke's palace, respects him very much.

He really couldn't understand why his aunt didn't even have such eyesight when even Xue Pan could see it.

Is it really a woman's opinion?

I can't be led astray.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly defended Lai Shangrong: "Brother Lai is really a gentleman. It's not that he is unwilling to help. At the wine table before, he also explained his relationship with Mr. Mei. During the negotiation, they did not get along well."

Hearing this in Aunt Xue's ears, the gentleman could not help but think of the accident and Lai Shangrong's scorching gaze. He suddenly felt itching in his buttocks, numbness in his waist and numbness in his chest.

"That's all! Fortunately, Qin girl has accepted her sister as her godmother. With this relationship, the Mei family will not be in trouble."

Then he asked: "When do you plan to visit me? Ask your elder brother to accompany you then!"

Being related to the Rong Mansion, she had the same idea as Xue Ban's mother, but Xue Ban didn't want Xue Pan to accompany her.

After all, the Mei family was from a Hanlin family, and their own family was just a merchant's family. Although Baoqin had the endorsement of the imperial concubine's mother, it was against filial piety to get married within a hundred days.

He is very clear about the character of his eldest brother. If there is something he doesn't want to see, he can tolerate it, but he is afraid that it will be bad if he goes there.

So he said: "For the first time, my nephew only brought some gifts. He just treated it as a normal visit and also asked me about the Mei family's thoughts. When we discuss the wedding date, I won't bother big brother anymore!"

Aunt Xue also knew her son's virtue. After thinking about it, she agreed: "Then you can take care of it yourself! If there is anything you need to prepare, tell me in time."

"Hey! Save it, nephew!"
