Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 387 Daiyu talks about concurrently

In a blink of an eye, it’s February [-]th.

This year is Lin Daiyu's birthday. Since she is engaged to Lai Shangrong, her birthday is a top priority for the Rongguo Mansion, so it is natural that there will be a lot of excitement.

Sometimes life also needs a sense of ritual. This time, Lai Shangrong did not have any alone time. He invited Xiu Mu in advance and came to Rong Mansion with Aunt Lai and his mother Xu.

Lai Da was not at home, and Grandma Lai and Mrs. Xu also came with the task of discussing the wedding date.

Since the last time the emperor summoned him and asked about his marriage, he was afraid of complications and wanted to get married in a hurry.

Unfortunately, Lai Da was not in Beijing, and his mother, Mrs. Xu, did not want to act in a hurry, so she set the wedding date for the ninth day of June.

As Lin Daiyu's future husband's family, Aunt Lai and Mrs. Xu were naturally warmly welcomed into Rongqing Hall by Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

In front of Jia's mother, Lai Shangrong couldn't flirt with the girls. Lin Daiyu couldn't discuss the wedding date in person, so she was hiding in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion waiting for news.

Lai Shangrong slipped into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion under the guise of coming out for some air.

"Uncle is here!" Xue Yan said enthusiastically as always.

After entering the door, Lin Daiyu bowed and said shyly, "Why is Brother Lai here?"

Lai Shangrong stepped forward and grabbed Lin Daiyu's cold little hand, and said with a smile: "Grandma and mother will discuss with the old lady during the wedding, and I will come to see the bride at that time!"

"Brother Lai is making fun of me again!" Lin Daiyu blushed and was half-pushed and half-pushed by him to sit down at the table. She retreated and said, "It's not like Brother Lai has never seen my sister. I heard that the Zhen family has a prominent family. Those three The girl is so young and shy, why didn’t Brother Lai take the time to meet her?"

"Look at the fight!"

Lai Shangrong showed his domineering attitude and pulled Lin Daiyu into his arms. He raised his hand and patted her hip gently, feigning anger and saying, "Do you think Brother Lai is the kind of person who is unjust and unsympathetic when he sees profit?"

Although this was not the first time that Lin Daiyu was held in his arms, it was the first time that she was beaten. Even though Xue Baoqin was not here, she still said coyly: "Brother, please spare me. My sister will never dare to do it again."

With that said, he was about to break free from Lai Shangrong's shackles.

How could Lai Shangrong let her break free? He tightly restrained his petite figure and turned his head to wink at the stunned Xue Yan.

Xue Yan immediately fled and ran into the courtyard. Suddenly he turned to the door and covered the door to hide it.

Lai Shangrong put his chin on Lin Daiyu's shoulder, feeling the restless Lin Daiyu's heartbeat in his arms.

Pretending to be polite, he said: "Oh! I really have a grievance that I can't complain about. To be honest with my sister, the emperor came to me a while ago and offered me the marriage of the third girl of the Zhen family, but I sternly refused. Unexpectedly, I You are so devoted to my sister, yet you still wronged me..."

As he spoke, he pressed Lin Daiyu's pink back against her chest, pretending to be distressed.

Rejecting the emperor's marriage proposal is undoubtedly a plus point, and Lai Shangrong will certainly not let it go.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her heart felt like honey, and she was no longer coy and uneasy.

Feeling the change in Lin Daiyu's attitude in his arms, Lai Shangrong pushed forward and blew into Lin Daiyu's ear: "Isn't this for fear of causing trouble, so I hurriedly called my mother to discuss the wedding date, but my sister even arranged an unreasonable one for me. Crime!"

Lin Daiyu grabbed Lai Shangrong's big hand and said coquettishly: "Isn't it okay that my little sister is wrong?"

Then the conversation changed: "But, since the Zhen family has all gone to the emperor to ask for help, I think it's because of Brother Lai that the three girls don't want to marry. My sister remembers that your second uncle's family is dead, so why doesn't Brother Lai let her have the second wife?"

After hearing that he rejected the emperor's marriage offer, Lin Daiyu was moved and could not bear him to disobey the holy will, so she changed her original idea and took the initiative to propose a marriage proposal.

In the past, Lai Shangrong never mentioned Jian Zuo. On the one hand, it was out of consideration for the candidate, and on the other hand, he also considered Lin Daiyu's attitude.

Although there are priorities for concurrent marriage, in the end, she is also the wife of Ming Media.

Therefore, he planned to wait for Lin Daiyu to come through and then take a closer look.

Now, since Lin Daiyu herself has made suggestions about both family and friends, he will certainly not let it go. "To be honest with my sister, grandma has already had this idea. It's just that I can't stand my sister anymore. If I marry another person who doesn't know the truth, and then make trouble with my sister in the future, wouldn't it be my fault?"

Lai Shangrong has superb speaking skills, so of course it is impossible for him to be outspoken, otherwise it will only have the opposite effect.

In fact, Lin Daiyu was in pure boudoir, and the only people she knew well were her own sisters in the Grand View Garden, so his thoughts were quite obvious.

However, what he said was very frank, and Lin Daiyu was confused by his clever words, and she was not aware of his plot at all.

He was so moved that he took the initiative to put Lai Shangrong's big hand on his lower abdomen and said emotionally: "Brother Lai actually thinks about my sister like this!"

Lai Shangrong was so excited that he secretly considered whether to offer Shi Xiangyun the opportunity to marry him now or to kill her first and then show her off. He said, "You are my unmarried wife. Isn't it right for me to consider it for you?"

Unexpectedly, he had not yet made up his mind, but Lin Daiyu said: "If you know the basics, my sister has a good candidate!"

"Uh……"

This time, Lai Shangrong was a bit embarrassed.

Lin Daiyu originally had a better heart than Bigan, and was originally confused by love, now seeing Lai Shangrong hesitant, she wondered, "Could it be that Brother Lai has already been chosen?"

"How could it be!" How could Lai Shangrong admit it? He quickly denied it: "I was just wondering who my sister was talking about."

"Second sister is a character who doesn't fight or grab. If she can take care of the second wife, there won't be any disputes in the family in the future, and she is the daughter of the eldest uncle. Even if the Zhen family thinks of taking care of her, brother Lai can also shirk it! "

Jia She also bore the title of his old master. Even if the Zhen family asked the emperor for a marriage again, they would still be able to evade it as ungrateful.

However, the Spring Festival is already a certainty, so how could Lai Shangrong be willing to waste this dual-time spot?

He could only shake his head and excuse himself: "But the eldest man is a man..."

Lin Daiyu didn't doubt his reasons, but she was afraid that he would consider visiting Chun instead. After all, she didn't know anything about Jia Zheng's condition.

"The eldest uncle is the eldest uncle." Lin Daiyu said hurriedly: "Everything is going well with the family. Brother Lai has a big family and the second sister has a good temper. Not only will there be less disputes in the back house in the future, but brother Lai wants to take a maid and a concubine. , she won’t object!”

Before his wife married, Lai Shangrong was already serving concubines four or five times. Lin Daiyu didn't believe that he didn't have the disease of widowhood.

If we talk about the former one, Lai Shangrong took advantage of the internal strife in Rong Mansion to gain sway, and he was deeply touched by this, then the latter one made him quite moved.

Now, the matter of Yingchun has not been leaked, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime. It is difficult to say how Lin Daiyu will react.

If one follows Lin Daiyu's idea, although it is difficult to secure the position of concurrently serving as a master, it will avoid being coveted by the Zhen family again.

Moreover, once Jia Zheng returns to Beijing, the Rong Mansion will know that it will be disgraced. With Mrs. Wang's help, Tan Chun will be able to catch him.

Although it will be more difficult to plot Shi Xiangyun, at least there will be no worries about taking concubines in the future.

Thinking of this, he took the opportunity to bargain and said, "Hey! Could it be that my sister is encouraging me to take concubines?"

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "Brother Lai treats me like this. It's enough for my sister to know that you have me in your heart. How can I still be jealous of you with the maids and concubines?"

Lai Shangrong immediately followed suit and said, "I will naturally rely on my sister's opinion, but I have to ask my grandma and mother."

He hasn't made up his mind yet, so he will just deal with it first. Even if there are changes in the future, he can still blame it on his parents.

How could Lin Daiyu know about his dirty thoughts? Seeing that he went along with his wishes in such important matters, she had to let him succeed a few times.

Just as he was blushing in the commotion, he suddenly heard Xue Yan shouting outside: "Uncle! Miss! Someone has been sent from the front to invite you!"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly got up from her legs, glanced at Lai Shangrong shyly, and hurriedly packed up.
