Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 302

Although rumors spread all over the city, the back house of Rong Mansion was a rare place of purity and was not subject to such disturbances.

Even if Jia Lian heard about it occasionally, it would be difficult to bring the scandal to Jia Mu and others.

Ever since Mei Hanlin came to visit, Jia Mu's treatment of Xue Baoqin was no longer the same as before.

After all, there was still the idea of ​​forming a good relationship, but now the good relationship has turned into a bad relationship, and it almost affected the reputations of Yuan Chun and Jia Zheng.

Xue Baoqin observed some differences and proposed to move to the Grand View Garden on the grounds that it would not disturb the old lady's rest.

Jia Mu half-heartedly agreed to the matter.

Human beings are sometimes strange creatures and often behave abnormally.

Although accepting a concubine was a misunderstanding, Aunt Xue also had other thoughts and did not explain in time, so that Xue Baoqin had a misunderstanding.

But after all, she had expressed her evasion to Lai Shangrong tactfully.

Logically speaking, Lai Shangrong and Lin Daiyu were deeply in love and left hand in hand that day, so she shouldn't have any ups and downs.

It should even be regarded as a polite response to her refusal, but the response came so quickly and so firmly, which still made her unable to help but feel some different emotions.

Due to this mentality and to avoid Jia Baoyu's entanglement, there are two factors.

She rejected Wang Xifeng's proposal to move into Liaofengxuan, and did not go to see her cousin Xue Baochai.

Instead, she found Lin Daiyu and asked to move in with him. However, Lin Daiyu only guessed that she wanted to avoid Jia Baoyu, but did not know that she had other thoughts about Lai Shangrong, so she agreed.

Lai Shangrong still doesn't know about this small change.

After all, he is not free, and goes to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion every day to talk about love.

Moreover, as the team stationed in Xiyi is about to leave Beijing, he still needs to discuss some details with Qin Zhong at night.

When he got home that day, he went straight to the study outside the front yard.

"Young Master Qin has an old friend here today, and he is meeting guests in the side hall!"

Qin Zhong didn't have many friends, and Qiu Yijun was one of them. Lai Shangrong just thought that Qiu Yijun came into the house to reminisce about the past when he was about to leave.

When I came to the side hall, I realized that I had guessed wrong.

The person who chatted and laughed with Qin Zhong was not Qiu Yijun, but the person who had a handsome appearance and a beautiful tree facing the wind.

"master!"

"Lord Lai!"

Qin Zhong hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Master! This second brother Liu is a family friend. He read in the newspaper that I was going to be stationed in Xiyi, so he made inquiries and found Master."

Liu Xianglian?
When Qin Ye was arrested, the corrupt account books were kept with him, which shows his friendship with the Qin family. In the original work, he also helped Qin Zhong repair his tomb.

However, because he was originally arrested and sent to Jin Yiwei, he did not ask about the subsequent handling in order to avoid suspicion. Unexpectedly, he was actually released.

"Young Master Liu!" Lai Shangrong cupped his hands.

"I heard that an old friend was here, and I thought it was Yi Jun. Let's talk!"

"master!"

Lai Shangrong was about to leave, but Qin Zhong stopped him and said, "Second brother Liu wants to go to Xiyi with me, I wonder if master can let him accompany?"

When Qin Zhong said this, Lai Shangrong remembered that Liu Xianglian was proficient in martial arts and was an old acquaintance of Qin Zhong. It would be a good choice to join the team for protection.

"It's not difficult. My master has already discussed with the emperor. Mei Gong is the master in the open world, but you are still responsible for those matters secretly. It is natural to have a few guards."

"Thank you, Mr. Lai, for taking care of me!" Liu Xianglian saluted.

"I'll go change and you can chat."

Lai Shangrong waved his hand, turned and left.

Out of the side hall, thinking of going home today, You Shi uncharacteristically didn't greet him, so he turned to Er You's yard.

I thought Youshi was unwell, but when he arrived at the house, he saw no one.

It's not that Mr. You is unwell, but that Sister You has missed her menstrual period. Today she asked a doctor to confirm her pulse.

The whole family is gathering at Second Sister You's house.

Mrs. You stared at Second Sister You with bright eyes.

"Ouch! Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the second sister is finally pregnant. Although it is a little later than Aunt Xing, it still depends on who has the best belly." "Mother! I am most tired of the intrigues in the house. These words You’d better say less in the future, don’t make me unhappy!”

As he spoke, he stroked his flat belly, and changed the subject: "I have practiced the secret method of childbearing, and I have been practicing it longer than Sister Xing, so why worry about it!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. You agreed and kicked Third Sister You.

He complained: "It's all your fault for delaying your sister's practice of secret arts. If you weren't a son, see how I would deal with you!"

Third Sister You twisted her body left and right and curled her lips and said: "If Second Sister had helped me earlier, maybe I would be pregnant by now. Two people are more likely to be pregnant than one!"

"I can't count on your eldest sister, but I can't count on you. You're so capable of cheating and cheating! If you still want to follow your brother-in-law, take advantage of this year to intensify your practice."

Hearing this, Third Sister You lowered her head in deep thought.

It's been so long, and she doesn't want to wait another year. Besides, although she hasn't given birth to a child, she has heard about the changes after giving birth.

I will definitely have to practice more when the time comes. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

Mrs. You ignored the youngest daughter, turned to look at You Shi, and said with a happy smile: "Eldest sister, you have to work harder, the second sister can't have intercourse this year, so you have to seize the opportunity, don't be compared to your daughter-in-law." Go down. Didn't the uncle tell you last time not to use that method of avoiding things, take advantage of the fact that you are still young, add a son and a half daughter, and you will be safe in the future!"

Although Mrs. You also hopes to have a child, she is not as serious a concubine as Second Sister You. After hearing what Mrs. You said so openly, she couldn't help but blush: "My status is embarrassing after all, so I'd better take my time! "

"What embarrassment? You were just a continuation. Even if your first wife died, your husband still remarried. I don't care about this. Why do you care?"

Second Sister You sneered and said: "Mom, eldest sister is just talking about it, do you really take it seriously? She may have more opportunities to get close to uncle than I do? What kind of arrogance do you have?"

What Second Sister You said was true, not only did she play with Second Sister You occasionally, she also had to compete with Qin Keqing at the festival last year. Although there have been fewer dramas of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law recently, there have been more stories about sister-in-law.

Although there are fewer one-man shows, Uncle Lai has never been able to do it alone, so the difference is not big.

Listening to these ridiculing remarks, Third Sister You pursed her lips and sulked alone.

Just at this moment, Lai Shangrong opened the door and walked in.

You Lao Niang quickly got up from the bed and moved her body, announcing the good news: "Congratulations, uncle, I just checked the pulse. My second sister is pregnant."

"Oh? Have you sent someone to the old house to tell the master and madam?"

Lai Shangrong asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed and looking at Sister You lovingly.

"It's late tonight, so that the old lady, the master, and the madam don't have to run in both directions. We plan to talk about it tomorrow."

Second Sister You also has her own little thoughts. She has always respected Lai Shangrong, so she had to tell him about this kind of thing first.

After saying that, he said sadly: "It's just that I'm pregnant now. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you this year!"

The ancient times are not as good as the modern ones, and he can't be persuaded. He has already tried it on Xing Xiuyan, and he is too lazy to do a science popularization that will be safe in three months. He said with a smile: "It's just a year, so it doesn't matter."

Second Sister You glanced at You, who had her head lowered, and said with a smile: "Now that the Nu family and Sister Xing are pregnant, I might as well go to my sister's room to rest at night!"

Lai Shangrong was accustomed to making superficial remarks. He touched her belly and said, "Hey! I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just going to stay with you!"

Glancing at Youshi who was sitting on the side, he said, "Sister-in-law, we'll go tomorrow!"

Originally, Lai Shangrong planned to change his clothes and go to the front yard to greet Liu Xianglian. But now that Second Sister You is pregnant, he is too lazy to socialize.

So he asked You to send someone to greet Qin Zhong and let him entertain his good friends.

I accompanied the four members of the You family to dine in the house.

Thinking of Liu Xianglian, she couldn't help but look at Third Sister You who was silent.

Once upon a time, he did have plans to bring the two of them together, but because Liu Xianglian was captured by the Jin Yiwei, it was inconvenient for him to find him.

And with the change of status in the past two years, the marriage contract has been set, so there is no need to worry about her having unreasonable thoughts.

He never knew that Second Sister You proposed to make his younger sister a concubine at the beginning, but he thought about taking advantage of the marriage contract now and when the concubine had not been exposed, he asked around if he would be willing to be a concubine.

However, Second Sister You is currently pregnant. Although she won't care about it and is even happy to see it happen, there is no need to rush it.

However, he never expected it before he took action.

That night, not long after he went to bed with Second Sister You, a graceful figure quietly opened the door.

Tiptoeing onto the bed, he began to fumble around in the dim moonlight.

Immediately, a play "Sister, currently..." was staged in the room.
