Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 382
Lai Shangrong was very depressed at this time. He had planned everything, but his calculations were slippery.

I plan to hang out with Mrs. Wang for a while, and then go to Xue's house for a casual meal.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Jade Emperor Temple, I discovered that Aunt Xue was also there.

The time left for Mrs. Wang has nowhere to kill, and it is not a big deal. The key is just to find an excuse, she deliberately asked Xue Pan to do something.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue not only did not follow suit and invited her warmly, but instead said that Xue Pan had gone out to meet friends early in the morning.

However, Xue Baochai stayed in Hengwuyuan for a long time and did not live at home. He suddenly lost his destination.

I was wondering if I should go to Wang Xifeng's courtyard first and wait until night to see if Xue Pan came home.

Although he could also go to Hengwu Garden, there was still a difference between active and passive. He didn't have much sense of urgency.

If it is really unlucky, we can only look for another chance.

The reason why I didn't go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion was because Xue Baoqin interfered with things last time. In order to avoid making the same mistake again, I had no choice but to stay away from Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu this time.

Unexpectedly, just after passing Qinfang Pavilion, I saw Xue Baochai, with his head lowered in thought, coming towards him.

As he walked towards Xue Baochai, he was thinking about how to proceed.

I originally planned to imitate the move I used against Aunt Xue, but there was no cover here and the land was wide. If I could hit her like this, it would be too deliberate.

When they got closer and closer, they could only bite the bullet and greeted, "Sister Baochai!"

Unexpectedly, when he said hello, Xue Baochai seemed to be frightened. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

Although he has never experienced this stage personally, this trick has been used with great proficiency by the actresses who walked the red carpet in previous lives.

Looking at the familiar scene, Lai Shangrong felt secretly happy and quickly stepped forward to help.

"It's all my fault for frightening Sister Baochai!"

While holding Baochai's arm and helping her up, he said with concern: "Look, did you fall somewhere?"

How did Xue Baochai know that Lai Shangrong had already seen through his intentions, and pretended to try to move his muscles and bones, and said shyly, "It seems to have a sprained foot!"

"Can you still leave? Do you want me to take you back?"

"Then...thank you Brother Lai. It's too far from here to Hengwuyuan. Please ask Brother Lai to take me home!"

Lai Shangrong held Xue Baochai's forearm on the 'injured' side in a well-regulated manner, and the two came to Xue's house bumping all the way.

Looking at the deserted yard, Lai Shangrong tried to shout twice, knowingly asking: "Why is there no servant in the house?"

Xue Baochai complained: "My brother went crazy earlier and called all the servants out."

Lai Shangrong secretly thought, no wonder Aunt Xue didn't follow the trend and left her to eat. She also specifically pointed out that Xue Pan was not at home. This was obviously a deliberate attempt to create opportunities.

At this moment, he had regarded Xue Baochai's unauthorized decision as the Xue family's plan.

He sighed and said, "It's urgent. Where is sister Baochai's boudoir? I'll send you in to have a rest!"

This reminded Xue Baochai of something, and he hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to his house.

After seeing the Xue family's arrangement, Lai Shangrong had already understood it and no longer had any worries outside.

Half-hugging and half-hugging, he slowly led Xue Baochai into the room.

After placing Xue Baochai on the edge of the bed and sitting down, he half-crouched in front of her, raised his head and said with concern: "Breaking muscles and bones is not a trivial matter, I'll show it to my sister first."

As he spoke, he reached out with both hands and grabbed the crescent moon under the hem of her skirt. This move was very smooth. He had also used it on Qin Keqing back then. Now that he was back to his old business, he was very familiar with it.

The only difference is that one is really hurt and the other is pretending.

He took off his embroidered shoes, took off his socks, and placed the slightly plump crescent moon in his hands and twisted it repeatedly.

Pretend to say: "Sister, do you feel better?"

Xue Baochai had never been through such a battle, and his bones and muscles were already numb from his pinching, and even his breathing became heavy.

"Yeah!~" He groaned and said, "Okay...much better!"

This soft moan was so melodious that Lai Shangrong just felt that he was distracted, and his hands couldn't help but reach up along his ankles.

After all, Xue Baochai was only a boudoir girl, and this sudden move woke her up.

She retracted her legs and feet slightly, bit her lower lip tightly, and said, "Although...although I am in a hurry to obey the authority, my sister also knows the principle of men and women giving and receiving without being intimate. This...in this life...it has to be done by my eldest brother." Married!"

When Lai Shangrong saw this, he didn't hide it and wrapped Xue Baochai's plump legs around his waist. He slowly stood up and leaned down towards Xue Baochai who was about to kill him.

He smiled and said: "Since my sister will not marry unless I am, and I have sent all the servants away in advance, how can I bear to spoil my sister's wishes!"

…………

At this moment, in the Jade Emperor Temple, Mrs. Wang was regretting endlessly while chatting absentmindedly with Aunt Xue.

Of course she couldn't have foreseen it and knew that Lai Shangrong was searching high and low at this moment, fighting for every inch of land to conquer the daughter-in-law she had planned.

I just regret that I shouldn't have invited Aunt Xue when Lai Shangrong visited.

Now that Yuan Chun has sent back the good news, of course she needs to make some preparations before Lai Shangrong learns about it.

I originally planned to invite him over to the house in the evening, or come to the door in person.

During the day, Lai Shangrong was not here, and the decree had not yet come down. Let's clear the gap with the Xue family last time.

Unexpectedly, Lai Shangrong would take a rest today and come to the door in person, and they happened to bump into each other.

Although she didn't mind sharing the stage with her sister, as long as she could make Lai Shangrong happy, she would not be held responsible for cutting off Xue Baochai.

Naihe's several hints were ignored by the two of them.

In addition, he was also worried that his younger sister was thin-skinned and might cause some problems. After all, she had an affair with Lai Shangrong, and it was difficult for the two sisters to accept that Baochai was so resistant to marrying Lai Shangrong.

Originally, I was well aware of some of Lai Shangrong's unknown preferences and it was okay to test Aunt Xue's reaction. However, I kept making the decision without authorization. If Lai Shangrong was dissatisfied, it would be more gain than loss at this stall.

Compared to Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue was full of joy.

"Baoyu is a child who has always been kind-hearted and filial. I like him from the bottom of my heart."

Mrs. Wang's sudden invitation was another 180-degree change, which made her even more convinced that those previous matchmaking talks were just a test for herself.

Now, since his attitude has changed, it is naturally his own performance that has gained her trust. The hidden dangers have been eliminated, and even the marriage is certain.

She didn't act too hastily and asked about the marriage, but only praised Jia Baoyu implicitly.

This was also the effect that Mrs. Wang wanted. She put aside those miscellaneous thoughts and said with a smile: "Bao Yatou is knowledgeable about books and etiquette. She has been sharing the affairs of the family for me these days, and she is also very organized. I went to the palace a while ago and told the empress Your Majesty still praises her for this matter!"

Aunt Xue suddenly smiled and said humbly: "How can this child deserve the praise of my mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Wang saw her elated expression and saw that the Xue family had not yet learned of Jia Zheng's condition.

"Originally, I wasn't sure about this, and I didn't plan to tell you. The last time I went to the palace, I talked about the two children with the queen. The queen thought of a way. If it can be done, she can bypass the old lady and resolve the matter. deal."

"Really...really!" Aunt Xue was so confused by the sudden surprise that she quickly asked: "What can I do?"

Since seeing through Lai Shangrong's intentions, Jia Baoyu has become Xue Baochai's first choice based on the Xue family's family background.

If the marriage can be decided as soon as possible, Xue Baochai will become the real sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, and her family will also rise with the tide.

Secondly, Xue Baochai doesn't know it yet, but she is still eager to shave her head and choose her husband. Once the marriage is decided, it will also prevent her from making mistakes. "Of course I am begging my queen to grant them a marriage! No matter how old the old lady is, can she still fight in the palace?"

"Amitabha!" Aunt Xue held her chest tightly, declared the Buddha's name, and said with a smile, "This is a great honor!"

Immediately, he worried about gain and loss again: "Can the Queen give me permission?"

A royal marriage is indeed a great honor, and given the Xue family's family background, it is unthinkable.

Although the marriage was granted by the Rong Mansion, Xue Baochai also had a share in it, and it would be a shameful thing to say it out. In the future, the shopkeepers at home will also have to weigh it.

"Shang Rong has a close relationship with Uncle Guo. Considering his face, I will not refuse to help!"

Mrs. Wang said this with the intention of showing off to Aunt Xue and being close to Lai Shangrong.

Her words were in response to Aunt Xue's guess. As expected, Lai Shangrong had no idea about his daughter.

"Hey! Hey! That's right, with Shangrong's face, this can definitely happen!"

When the two sides were talking about it, they heard reports from outside.

"Madam! The emperor sent someone to deliver the order. The old lady asked you to go ahead and receive the order!"

Mother Jia didn't know that Aunt Xue was with Mrs. Wang. In order to save time, the people sent out also went to different places.

"This..." When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart suddenly became excited.

What she and Yuanchun had discussed was to ask the queen to grant a marriage, but now it was the emperor who issued the decree. Knowing Jia Zheng's condition, she couldn't help but feel worried.

And as soon as Aunt Xue heard Mrs. Wang talk about the marriage grant, the palace came to deliver the decree, and there was no time to distinguish between the emperor and the empress.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still in a daze, she just thought she didn't expect to arrive so quickly.

He hurriedly stepped forward and took Mrs. Wang's arm and said, "Sister, let's go quickly! Don't make the angels wait in a hurry!"

Mrs. Wang could only bite the bullet and rushed to the front yard with the help of Aunt Xue.

…………

At this moment.

In Xue's courtyard and Xue Baochai's boudoir, there was also a chaos of war.

The Ying'er outside the house stamped her feet anxiously and shouted into the house: "Miss! Miss! Someone just came to send a message, please go to the front to receive the order, and the servant finally sent him away!"

She listened to the message from the gatekeeper and rushed to Xue's house, only to find that there was no one in the courtyard.

At first, when Xue Baochai found that there was no one in the house and sent her to guard the house, she was bored, so she planned to go inside and tie some silk ribbons to pass the time.

But as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a gasping sound coming from the back room.

This sudden and overwhelming sound almost frightened her to death, and she didn't dare to peek inside, so she could only guard the courtyard cautiously.

At this time, Xue Baochai, who was in the room, had no time to think about why the emperor would pass the decree to his family, and he hurriedly tried to find fault with himself one by one.

Lai Shangrong, who was lying on the couch on his side, was resting and looking at Xue Baochai, who was busy and sometimes tense and sometimes loose.

He calmly took the brocade handkerchief in front of him and quietly put it behind him.

Although the middle road collapsed before he started his business, Lai Shangrong was not upset at all.

After all, men and women are different.

For him, it was not a complete success, but for Xue Baochai, the transformation from a girl to a woman had been completed.

Looking back on this short half hour, I can only say that it was very moist, very fragrant, very...

Xue Baochai is in the same line as Aunt Xue, and both have a plump and provocative figure, but compared to Mrs. Wang, who is also plump, she is a little more girlish and delicate.

Perhaps because she had been taking Lengxiang Pills for a long time, she had a strong fragrance on her body, and this fragrance, moistened with sweat, was particularly refreshing and fascinating.

It seems that the effectiveness of Lengxiang Pills does not end there. Unlike Wang Xifeng's body, which is cold, it gradually warms up after a little exercise.

Xue Baochai seems to be holding mint, which has the effect of refreshing and lasting.

Could it be that these are the various benefits of Xue Baochai mentioned by Ying'er in the original work?

Of course, after all, we have not done all the work. We can only leave it to the future to experience it carefully and appreciate it slowly.

While his thoughts were dancing, Xue Baochai was fully dressed, biting a hairpin, picking up the scattered black hair, then holding the hairpin, passing it through and fixing the bun.

He whispered: "Lai...when will Brother Lai come to the door..."

Lai Shangrong didn't wait for her to say the word "proposing marriage", and quickly interrupted: "I'll find a good day later and settle you down properly. There's still a decree waiting for you, so don't delay."

In view of Xue Baochai's trouble-making character, he planned to buy an outhouse, but he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere at the moment, so his words were ambiguous.

"Hey!"

Xue Baochai had no doubt that he had it, and since time was tight, it was not the time to study it carefully at this moment, so he agreed and walked toward the door with faltering steps.

Halfway through, he turned around and said, "Brother Lai, please leave quickly. Don't let anyone see you!"

It was of great significance for my family to receive the order. I thought the house would be lively soon, but Lai Shangrong remained motionless, worried that he would wait for me to come back and continue his unfinished work.

Therefore, I couldn't help but open my mouth and remind him to leave quickly.

Of course, Lai Shangrong didn't want everyone to make a fuss. After all, having sex without a matchmaker was not a glorious thing.

He just wanted to take advantage of Xue Baochai's lack of time to take away the loot.

He smiled and said, "Of course I don't have to. We can't leave together. You go over first and I'll be back soon."

It is not strange to say that the emperor sent a decree to the Rong Mansion, but it was a bit weird to send a decree to the Xue family. Lai Shangrong also wanted to see what the decree was.

However, he had always been impatient with those who bowed down and worshiped, and planned to delay for a while until the order was delivered before going.

Xue Baochai thought for a while and said, "Ying'er is my personal maid, and she will live with me in the future. Do you want me to keep Ying'er to help Brother Lai dress?"

After the personal maid passed the door, there was the maid of the general room. Considering that Lai Shangrong had many concubines and the maids of the general room, she was showing him the demeanor of a big woman in advance.

Although in ancient times, it was a man's decision to take a concubine or a house, there were also exceptions like Wang Xifeng.

"We'll talk about this later. If you have difficulty moving, let her stay with you!"

Ying'er is also ranked in the sub-book, although it is not as good as Qingwen and Ping'er, but it is not much better than Xiren Zijuan and others.

Although he wouldn't waste any effort, he had no reason to refuse this kind of addition.

Time was tight at the moment, and he was not satisfied with just dilly-dallying, so naturally Xie Jing was not sensitive.

When Xue Baochai heard that it was difficult to move, she immediately became happy and shyly left the boudoir.

Lai Shangrong suddenly turned over, stood on the bed carelessly, put on his clothes, and put the square brocade handkerchief into his arms.

Shi Shiran left Xue Baochai's boudoir, looked at the deserted courtyard, and glanced at the room that was closely related to her and now belonged to Aunt Xue.

He suppressed the urge to take a closer look and walked to the front yard of Rong Mansion.
