Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 283

It wasn't until Zishi that Lai Shangrong left the back door of Rong Mansion.

Aunt Zhao's sincere service was not bad, and the whole process took more than an hour.

Before leaving, for the first time, he did not mention money to Lai Shangrong.

However, Uncle Lai still paid 500 taels of silver.

Not for anything else, it's really worth it.

For people like Aunt Zhao, it is an instinct engraved in their bones to seek support from men.

Although she was originally committed to Lai Shangrong, she was more forced by the situation and the cost of subsidy.

But now, she has transferred her original dependence on Jia Zheng to Lai Shangrong.

I didn't expect it would take so long. Now I can only hope that the family didn't send anyone to Rong Mansion to inquire because Xing Xiuyan didn't return.

I followed him to Rong Mansion, and my family knew about it, so I guess it shouldn't be a big deal.

Sure enough, when he entered the west wing, he saw Yuanyang lying alone on the bed. He thought that since she entered the house, she had not been pampered by herself when she was with Jia Mu, so she took off her clothes and touched her quietly.

I wanted to reenact Youshi's drama, but I didn't want the mandarin duck to scream in surprise.

"Ah!~"

He hurriedly raised his hand to cover her small mouth, and when Yuanyang saw clearly that it was his uncle, he exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! Where's Auntie?"

"Dinner ended late, so I stayed at Sister Lin's place to rest. You go and pick her up tomorrow."

"What time is it now? I thought my aunt went to the new house with my uncle!"

"It's time!"

"Why did you eat so late?" Yuanyang was a little confused.

Lai Shangrong touched his nose and said with a smile: "I came out from there to do some errands."

It's not that he doesn't want to hide it, it's just that this time Xing Xiuyan knows that he can't hide it even if he wants to, so he might as well find a reason in advance.

Although Yuanyang realized that there was something hidden, he did not reveal it. Instead, he asked: "Does the master not trust me?"

As the eldest maid trained by Mother Jia, she is naturally not stupid.

From Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's proposal to propose marriage to Lai Shangrong, to Jia Amnesty later repenting of the marriage and defrauding him of shares in the rubber factory.

And Xing Xiuyan, under Lai Shangrong's instructions, took jade bracelets to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then asked Lin Daiyu to marry him.

The mandarin ducks were all excluded, so it was impossible for her not to feel it.

Lai Shangrong was indeed uneasy, but he couldn't say that.

"We have been friends since childhood, how can I not trust you? It's just that we were plotted by someone before, so this arrangement is just to prevent you from being embarrassed."

"Uncle!~" Yuanyang groaned, twisted under Lai Shangrong, and repositioned himself.

"Slave... although my knowledge is shallow, I also know that if I follow the uncle, I am his person. Although the old lady is very kind to this slave, I... also know my duty!"

In the past, she had no chance to be alone with Lai Shangrong. Today was a rare opportunity, so she decided to be honest and clear up his worries.

Now that his marriage to Lin Daiyu has been finalized, and Yuanyang is so candid, Lai Shangrong doesn't want to break her heart.

So he nodded and said: "Master thought too much before, since you are not afraid of embarrassment, then I will not hide it from you in the future."

"Yeah!~ I won't tell anyone about the uncle's affairs!"

…………

The next day.

The first glimmer of morning light hit Yuanyang's slightly tired pretty face, waking her up from her sleep.

Turning around, he met Lai Shangrong's warm gaze. He suddenly felt ashamed and a blush appeared on his cheeks.

"Slave, please wait for me to get up?"

Hearing this, Lai Shangrong got up suddenly, opened his arms, and stood on the Babu bed carelessly, letting the messy mandarin ducks play with them.

Before I had put on my clothes, there was a knock on the door and a golden hammer outside the house.

"Auntie, are you up? Breakfast is ready!"

"Come in!"

Jin Chuan opened the door and came in. He saw the situation inside the house and looked at the lingering charm of Yuanyang with envy.

"Master, where is my aunt?"

"I stayed at Sister Lin's place to rest yesterday. You pack breakfast for my aunt and I, and Yuanyang and I will take it there to eat later."

Although it's a specially made nutritious breakfast for pregnant women, it's not like a meal can't be pulled down, the ladders have already been set up, it's better to let the servants of the gatekeepers of the Rong Mansion gradually get used to entering early and leaving early.

If I'm lazy and don't want to sneak out in the cold weather in the snow, it won't be too abrupt to leave Rongfu in the early morning.Where is morning exercise not practice?The Grand View Garden is no worse than its own garden.

Dressed neatly, washed up, picked up the food box and took the mandarin duck with her, and walked into the back door of the Grand View Garden.

All the way to the entrance of Xiaoxiang Hall, Lai Shangrong carefully handed the two food boxes to Yuanyang. Although the food boxes were not too heavy for him, it was still difficult for Yuanyang to carry them such a long way.

There is no harm in carrying it on the road, but if Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan see her, they will inevitably feel that she has lost her dignity.

I thought that Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan might not be up so early, but when they entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the room.

Xue Yan, who was fanning the coal stove outside the house, saw him at a glance and shouted towards the house: "My uncle is here!"

Then he took small steps and ran to Yuanyang and took a food box.

Before Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan showed up in the house, they saw Wang Xifeng leaning on the door frame, waving the handkerchief towards Lai Shangrong, and said with a smile: "Hey! You really don't worry about us, you came here early in the morning!"

Seeing the food boxes in Yuanyang and Xueyan's hands, he continued: "I have never been negligent. I was just asking Sister Xing if there is anything I would like to eat."

After finishing serving at Rongqing Hall last night, she hurried to the rockery in Liaoting Huashu, but she missed it and went to Daoxiang Village instead. Only then did she realize that Tanchun had disturbed the situation, and she also Too lazy to run any further, he slept in Daoxiang Village.

Early in the morning, he took Li Wan to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and asked Xing Xiuyan what he wanted for breakfast.

Lai Shangrong stepped into the house and said with a smile: "You don't even have a small kitchen in your garden. I was afraid of trouble for you, so I just sent it here."

"What Shang Rong said is that it's all about others. Sister Lin can't be wronged. I'll get a room in the garden later."

Li Wan, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan in the room had already stood up when he entered.

"Brother Lai!"

"uncle!"

"Shang Rong!"

Lai Shangrong also greeted them one by one, and then told Qingwen and Xiangling to heat up the breakfast they brought.

Then he said to everyone: "I'll run around outside for a few laps, and I'll be back just in time to have breakfast with you."

When he left, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but wonder: "Is Shang Rong just beating himself up?"

Li Wan blurted out: "How else could he be so powerful..."

"Ahem!" Wang Xifeng coughed quickly and interrupted Li Wan.

Only then did Li Wan realize the problem in his words and hurriedly covered it up: "Lan'er goes to school and exercises with Shang Rong every day. How can you say that your body is your capital!"

However, this scene fell in Xing Xiuyan's eyes. She had long guessed that her uncle had some unknown love affairs, so she became more suspicious of their performance.

Looking at Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, they looked at them with a bit of scrutiny.

Wang Xifeng felt panicked at the sight, and hurriedly covered it up: "I want to see if your family can make flowers for breakfast. If you are not at home today, you will be delivered."

Saying that, he pulled Li Wan and came outside the house to see each other.

It was not true that Lai Shangrong couldn't pull a dog all day. He ran around the Xiaoxiang Pavilion twice, estimated that breakfast would be hot, and returned to the house.

The breakfast in the room has already been served. Although there are more Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, Jin Chuan always puts more food in it, so he is not afraid of not having enough.

Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "Brother Lai is not a military commander, so why do you still work hard every day?"

"Exercise is not only for fighting enemies in battle, but also for getting rid of diseases and disasters when your body is well."

Then he added: "Xiuyan, you also remember what I told you. Walking around more on weekdays will also be beneficial to future production."

"Hey! Brother Lai still knows this?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Lai Shangrong pretended to be affectionate and said: "For us men, giving birth is just an anxious wait, but for you women, it is a real trip to hell. Although I can't replace it with my body, I can read more books." , find a way to deal with it, if it can reduce your pain, it will be worth it."

"Brother Lai!~"

This was not the first time Xing Xiuyan heard these words, but it was the first time Lin Daiyu heard them. Although she felt shy when she heard him talk about having children, she was also very moved.

Lai Shangrong took the opportunity to pat the back of Daiyu's hand, and said: "You also remember not to be afraid of getting tired, and it will be good for your body to walk around in the garden more."

Lin Daiyu trembled as if she was electrocuted, nodded slightly, and said shyly like a mosquito: "You all listen to Brother Lai!"

"Then I will ask Xue Yan to supervise you!" Lai Shangrong said with a smile.

Then he stopped and pointed to the sea urchin steamed eggs on the table and said, "You all come and try this. Adding more high-quality protein will be good for your health."

In ancient times, unlike modern times, there were caesarean sections. For women, childbirth was like a trip to hell.

Although none of the people sitting here, except Li Wan, had any experience in this area, I had never eaten pork and had seen pigs walking, and hearing his sincerity, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

No matter how thoughtful men in ancient times were, they would not be as meticulous as him.

Even Jia Baoyu, known as Lianxiangxiyu, can only say that a married woman loses her luster, so why would she pay attention to these places.

There is no harm without comparison, so when these words fall on everyone's ears, everyone is moved.
