Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 331 Shaking
Lai Shangrong did not dine in Xiaoxiang Restaurant, but took Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin to his old home.

There is no such thing as reunion during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now that the old and new houses each have a pregnant woman, there is no need for them to run around and get together.

Lin Daiyu had nothing to do with Xue Baoqin and Second Sister You, so Lai Shangrong picked him up under the guise of visiting Xing Xiuyan.

Of course, the main reason why he did this was because of the embarrassing situation.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, although Lin Daiyu behaved generously, she had not passed the door after all, and it was not easy for him to tease and tease each other in front of each other.

Yu Yu didn't show up, and it didn't take him a while to find an excuse to get away, so he took the two of them to the old house.

While they were visiting Xing Xiuyan, he also escaped and came to Lai Dachu.

"My father also knew about the situation in the DPRK this time, and my son had no choice but to make plans in advance!"

"We...why do our family collect so many orphans? Do you want to..."

Lai Da was stunned by Lai Shangrong's words and couldn't understand why Lai Shangrong had such thoughts because he was just being impeached.

"How could it be! It's just for self-protection. If there is any accident, with these team members and their weapons, it will be enough to escort us out to sea. You don't want our family to end up like my second uncle, do you?"

"You have to wait until I see my grandson born, right?"

Lai Da couldn't help but feel a little shaken when he thought about what happened to his second roommate.

"That's natural. Now that the situation is tight, we have to arrange for someone to take over the family business. It won't be too late to wait until the child is born."

Lai Shangrong wouldn't worry about adopting orphans, but only his father Lai Da wouldn't worry about it.

"But even if we adopt these orphans, how will they be resettled in the future? Can our family still be able to raise soldiers?"

Lai Da is still a little hesitant. After all, according to Lai Shangrong's wishes, the minimum is two hundred, and there is no limit to the maximum. The placement of so many people is a problem.

Although there are hundreds of people in a mansion like Rongfu, they are all registered personnel.

"Have you forgotten that your son still has a security department? After practicing outside for a year and a half, he will be assigned to the security department."

Lai Shangrong has a comprehensive plan for this, and it will definitely not work if they are all broken up. When the time comes, it will be easy to set up a disciplinary inspection brigade with two or three hundred people.

Then choose some people with high loyalty and tact, and give Sun Yun and Chen Wu a hand. If there are any variables, how much can they agitate.

"Who are you going to hand over the business to? Not Xing Zhong!"

Lai Da couldn't find any problems with this arrangement, so he turned to care about business. After all, raising people costs money.

"Xue Biao, I will arrange for him to practice with you for a while. You can take a look before talking."

"Okay!" Lai Da nodded and said, "The general's daughter-in-law and the others were picked up. Didn't Rong Mansion say anything?"

"Haha! What can I say?"

Lai Shangrong secretly laughed in his heart. The female relatives of the Rong Mansion and even Mrs. Wang had become his personal belongings.

Who would say another word when bringing home a virgin daughter-in-law and a concubine?
…………

"I came to report from the garden just now, Uncle Lai..."

"Shang Rong is here?" In the Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang, who was lazily leaning on the Arhat bed, suddenly sat up in shock.

Immediately he realized that he was a little out of sorts and covered it up: "But what's important?"

Caixia looked at Mrs. Wang doubtfully and replied: "Uncle Lai picked up Miss Lin and Miss Qin and said he was going to visit Aunt Xing!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel disappointed and sighed: "The old lady has been talking about it several times, why didn't she repay her earlier? At least I should go see the old lady!"

Listening to these words, Caixia suddenly realized that when she came back to report to Jia Mu two days ago, the old lady seemed to be quite nervous and approved of Mrs. Wang's gift-giving operation. It seemed that Uncle Lai was really different.

Looking at Caixia exiting, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but let out a long breath.If this was the first time, she was forced by the situation and was too frightened to take into account the true meaning of it.

The dinner in the side hall of Lai's house two days ago was a feast for the eyes and left her with endless aftertaste.

So much so that in the past two days, the scene at that time often appeared in front of my eyes, and I felt as if I had returned to the side hall of Lai's house.

This was the case when Caixia came in to report just now. When she suddenly heard Lai Shangrong's name, she thought that he was as unable to control himself as she was and was looking for an excuse to find her, which is why he behaved so rudely.

It's no wonder she had this misunderstanding. She had never seen a storm like Lai Shangrong's.

He mistakenly mistook Lai Shangrong's ordinary behavior as an impulsive act that could not be restrained.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel a little complacent about being able to tease a young boy like Lai Shangrong at her age.

It's just that, with my status, it's hard to leave people around me for a moment, let alone coming and going frequently, even if I don't know if it will be a year of the monkey next time.

Now, there may be loopholes to exploit, but once Jia Zheng comes back, it will be difficult to find opportunities.

After all, he had always been suspicious when nothing happened to avoid suspicion.

Thinking of this, I can't help but think about how long it will take for Jia Zheng's term to end, and how many good days I still have to live.

Jia Zheng, who is far away in Guangdong, is not thinking about Shu at this moment.

Since signing a trade agreement with Xiyi, Guangdong's maritime trade has become more and more prosperous. Originally, this had nothing to do with Jia Zheng, but he bore the name of Lai Shangrong's old master.

It has become a hot topic for everyone to praise.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and a squire who was engaged in maritime trade invited him into his home.

He invited all the younger members of the family to come and hold some articles that he asked people to prepare for him, and asked them to give advice one by one.

"Good! Good! There is a successor to my brother! Such an article should make it clear!" Jia Zhengjie praised.

"Cun Zhougong is indeed like the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but he praises them too much. There is also a friend who has admired him for a long time. Wouldn't it be nice to go to the side hall to drink and talk?"

These words hit Jia Zheng's itch, and he asked curiously: "Oh? Is there any other friend? Come on, come on, it's not polite to keep people waiting for a long time!"

Just when he came to the side hall and saw the blond and blue-eyed Xiyi man in the room, Jia Zheng couldn't help but sink his face.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? We are drinking wine and chatting freely about literary matters. If you invite a foreign barbarian, wouldn't it disturb the good mood!"

"Duke Cunzhou has misunderstood! This is a distinguished nobleman of Xiyi. The female relatives in his family have admired Duke Cunzhou for a long time. They specially asked me to see you."

"Papa papa!" The Xiyi man clapped his hands, and at the side door of the side hall, a blond woman dressed in Xiyi clothes walked in slowly.

Jia Zheng had never seen such a battle before. Although there were many people in Daxia who treated guests as concubines, Jia Zheng had no such experience.

Seeing the boldly dressed woman with a voluptuous figure getting closer and closer, Jia Zheng swallowed unconsciously, aware of his own gaffe, and took a small symbolic step back.

Because of the Jinchuan incident, he did not take his concubine with him when he took office. When he took office, he was afraid of being criticized for having a concubine.

This family just saw the trick and did this. The purpose was naturally to get through Jia Zheng and get on Lai Shangrong's line.

Since it is just a fabrication, the so-called noble lady of Xiyi is naturally not a female member of the family, but a member of the fleet doing skin and flesh business.

Seeing Jia Zheng's hesitation, the squire laughed and said: "A great hero can show his true nature, and a true celebrity can be charming. How can the Duke of Zhou fail to live up to his beauty?"

"Then..." Jia Zheng was really shaken, but in the end he still couldn't keep his face down. He accepted the kindness of recommending himself as a pillow mat, but looking at the exotic charm, he couldn't bear to say no.

The squire saw through it without saying anything, and said considerately: "Since Duke Zhou is here to express his admiration for the beautiful lady, we won't disturb you!"

With that said, the two closed the door and went out.
