Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 294
Inside Rongxi Hall.

Aunt Xue, who was originally sitting by the side, had already fled before he arrived because she remembered Lai Shangrong's burning eyes.

She was already plump and timid, and most of her skin had peeled off when she entered the room. With Mrs. Wang nearby, she didn't want to try to cover up her body.

Last time in late autumn, her body was quite well covered, and Lai Shangrong was still peeking at her body like that. How could she dare to show her face in front of him in this light and thin skirt.

If she was also in the Rongxi Hall, Lai Shangrong might still think of Xue Baoqin, but at this time there was only Mrs. Wang in the room.

Besides, Xue Baoqin had only been in Beijing for a few days to get married, and he had not heard any rumors about the marriage change. He never expected that things would happen so quickly.

Thinking of Lu Xue'an's stern refusal, Tan Chun hurriedly tried to dissuade her, and her repeated attempts to marry into his own family, it was inevitable that Mrs. Wang's proposal to be a mother-in-law was related to her.

While hesitating, Mrs. Wang said kindly again: "What? Doesn't Shang Rong have this plan?"

Lai Shangrong considered: "To be fair to the second wife, although death is like a lamp going out, my second uncle did something wrong after all. Shangrong has just started his official career, and his wife has not yet married, so how can he plan to have a second wife?"

Although she doesn't plan to marry Tanchun, she doesn't need to say anything, after all, she has to search for the golden hairpin as the second wife.

If the rumors spread because of the deadly words today, if they cut off their thoughts, wouldn't it be a small loss for the big?

After all, the word "official" means two things. As long as you have the initiative, don't you have the final say over and over again?

Mrs. Wang was a little disappointed when she heard that he had no plans to do both. However, it was just a casual question, and there was no cost, so she would not be disappointed.

"Since Shang Rong has no such plan, then just pretend I didn't say so, you go to the garden to find Baoyu and the others!"

With Lai Shangrong in person, Caixia naturally found it inconvenient to report the previous episode, so Mrs. Wang thought that the activities in the park were still going on.

Lai Shangrong did not tell Mrs. Wang about Miaoyu's condition as Baochai had guessed, but turned around and left.

After all, Miaoyu just said something rude, and so far, it has not caused any adverse consequences. He is not so mad that he wants to kill everyone.

Besides, there are many ways to give small punishments and large punishments. Since she looks down on Xing Xiuyan for being her concubine, she should also peel off her aloof mask and make her worse than a concubine. This way, she can relieve her anger and feel comfortable physically and mentally. How can she kill two birds with one stone? Not for?
Although Lai Shangrong has a small disadvantage, after all, he obeys the law and obeys the law. Even if he drives people out of the Rong Mansion, he will not be able to do something like robbing women, so he might as well put them under his nose and wait for the right time.

As soon as they left Rongxi Hall, Wang Xifeng came to greet them.

"What's the big deal with you, Madam?"

Mrs. Wang suddenly invited Lai Shangrong to go, there must be some reason, as the chief steward of the Rong Mansion, she was afraid of missing any useful information.

Wang Xifeng was now obedient, and Lai Shangrong didn't want to hide it from her, so he told Mrs. Wang's proposal to have a concurrent marriage.

Wang Xifeng was also a little disappointed when she heard that he rejected Mrs. Wang's proposal. Originally, she was eager to nominate Baochai again when she heard Mrs. Wang's proposal to hold concurrent posts.

But after hearing his refusal, I didn’t dare to mention it again.

Instead, he tentatively said: "If it is inconvenient for Shang Rong to mention it to his wife, then I will put eye drops on that fake nun in front of my wife!"

Lai Shangrong waved his hand and said: "Since I have already promised Xiuyan, do I still have to go back on my word? Besides, even if I have to punish someone with a small punishment or a big warning, do I still need to use false hands on others?"

Wang Xifeng shrank her neck, thinking of what happened to Ning Mansion, and said flatteringly: "That's why Shang Rong can only kill an ant by strangling her, how can she cause us trouble?"

Then he tried again: "Are you here at home today, making Shang Rong unhappy? Or should I call my sister-in-law to apologize to Shang Rong tonight?"

This is not an apology, it is clearly a matter of food and taste, and he has come to collect debts.

It is true that the yamen is busy with affairs these days, and the weather is getting colder, so I haven't visited Wang Xifeng's yard for a while.It's just that his own family is also a group of Yingying and Yanyan, and the road is slippery in snowy weather, so he doesn't want to get up early and stay late in the cold weather.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's very inconvenient to get in and out in this weather. Besides, it's so quiet at night that I can't let go. Please ask Shang Wan'er to come to my place tomorrow instead!"

Wang Xifeng did not expect that Lai Shangrong did not accept the invitation, but instead asked herself and Li Wan to come to serve.

Although she also looked forward to singing freely, but after all, as the daughter-in-law of the Rong Mansion, she could not leave the house without a reasonable reason.

Why: "This...I'm afraid it's hard for the old lady to explain."

Lai Shangrong waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's been so long since the Ning Mansion happened. You, Qin and Xichun, you haven't visited them yet. I just use this as an excuse. If necessary, I will let You I’ll send someone to invite you over.”

"This is a good idea. If Sister-in-law Zhen comes to invite you, the old lady and the other ladies won't think too much about it. But after all, there are thousands of connections between there and here. If there is any news..."

Lai Shangrong smiled evilly and said: "Hehehe! It doesn't matter. Only Qin and Xichun live in Huifang Garden, and usually no servants go in. When the time comes, I will clean up Doufengxuan and keep it without letting anyone know."

After a pause, he smiled and said: "The name Dou Feng Xuan is very appropriate to the situation, and it just fits the meaning of attracting bees and butterflies."

"Attracting bees and butterflies? Although I am not very illiterate, this does not mean that women..."

"Jie Jie Jie!" Lai Shangrong laughed and said: "How can we stick to the rules? If we don't destroy the old and create the new, how can I make glass and rubber? The eldest sister-in-law has a bee waist and buttocks, and the second sister-in-law is brilliant in colorful embroidery. Isn't it just a bee and a butterfly? Well!"

With that said, a pair of evil eyes greeted the colorful and dazzling Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the figures of the two, they were indeed very suitable.

After looking around and seeing no one around, he said with a pink face, "Brother Lai, you can give us a few drops of nectar to taste!"

"Hey hey hey! It's not enough to have too much, it can only be a few hundred million!"

While talking, Lai Shangrong caught a glimpse of a figure stepping out of the gate of the Grand View Garden after passing through the west corner door of the back corridor of Rong Mansion.

He waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's cold outside, so don't send me off. I'll go back from the garden."

Wang Xifeng was sent away, and in front of the 'Fu Ren Yu De' meeting hall, he blocked the oncoming attacker.

"Lai...Lai uncle!" Xiren said incoherently.

Lai Shangrong joked: "Where are Aunt Hua going?"

"I just asked someone to send some woolen clothes to the Second Master. No one is there in Lu Xu'an, and I'm looking for the Second Master!"

"If you want to look for it, you should go to the garden! I think it might be over there at Liao Ting Hua Shu. Should Aunt Hua go there to look for it?"

When Xiren heard Liao Ting Huashu, he didn't know what he was going to do. He said in shock: "This... this snowy day, how can Uncle Lai... do it!"

Lai Shangrong said without doubt: "You won't feel cold when you move!"

After saying that, he walked towards the Grand View Garden without looking back.

Xiren looked at his retreating back in shock, was stunned for a long time, then stamped his feet and hurriedly chased after him.
