Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 344
"Shang Rong! Shang Rong!"

At dawn, a burst of hurried footsteps, accompanied by Youshi's shout, woke up Lai Shangrong who was still sleeping.

"But Xiuyan..." Childbirth was approaching, and her first reaction at this time was that Xing Xiuyan was going to give birth.

"Well! Someone came from the old house just now to tell me that Aunt Xing's amniotic fluid broke at five o'clock!"

"Then why did it take so long!" Lai Shangrong asked.

"Aunt Xing asked not to disturb the uncle, wait until dawn..."

Uh...this is indeed Xing Xiuyan's character.

Lai Shangrong stopped complaining and quickly put on his pants and shoes without waiting for anyone to wait for him. He grabbed the coat on the hanger and walked out, putting it on himself.

At this time, Qin Keqing, who had just been awakened, got up and got dressed in a hurry.

"Uncle, go first, I'll be right back!"

After leaving the house, Lai Shangrong did not forget to tell Youshi: "Tell Hu Si to go to the Yamen branch to meet..."

Then he left Tianxiang Tower, went out the back door, and went straight to the old house.

It's not that he didn't stay with Xing Xiuyan at this time, but that he stayed in Xing Xiuyan's house for the past few nights, and there was no movement.

Last night, under Xing Xiuyan's persuasion, I half-heartedly returned to my new house. The reason why I stayed in Tianxiang Building was that it was close and it was convenient to rush there.

His concern is not feigned. After all, he is a human being in two lives and is the first child. This feeling is hard to describe.

Arriving at the backyard of the old house, Lai Sheng's family supported grandma Lai, while his parents and Mr. and Mrs. Xing Zhong were already waiting anxiously in the courtyard.

Yuanyang, Jin Chuan, Qingwen, and Xiangling carried water basins in and out.

He said hello casually, leaned out of the east wing window, and shouted into the house: "Xiuyan! Just don't worry, I will be with you outside the house."

Then he shouted: "Yuanyang! Tell Po Wen that no matter what happens, the first priority is to save Xiuyan!"

Lai Da and Xu quickly echoed after hearing this: "Yes, yes! We almost forgot about this!"

The couple saw Xing Xiuyan's character in their eyes. If the second sister You was not pregnant, they might still hesitate, but now that they have a backup, they no longer hesitate.

Xing Zhong and his wife were naturally worried about their daughter's safety, but they did not dare to comment on Lai Jia's decision.

After all, in this era, there are many people who ignore the life of their first wife for the sake of their heirs, let alone just a concubine. Now that they got the approval, they suddenly felt relieved.

Just as he was talking, Yuanyang came out from the house carrying a basin.

"Uncle! Someone from the West Mansion has been sent to tell you. I must inform you. My aunt wants me to make an idea. And Miss Lin can't..."

Lai Shangrong interrupted and complained: "I'm still thinking about all this at this time. Tell her to stop thinking so much. I'll send someone right away."

In fact, even if the first wife gives birth to a child, relatives and friends rarely come to the house before the full moon party.

But Lai Shangrong's weight is different now. In order to show their importance, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang specially asked to send someone to notify him.

Went to the front yard, arranged for the informant, and returned to the yard.

The three sisters of the You family, Qin Keqing, Xichun and others all arrived.

Second Sister You poked Yuchuan's arm, and she immediately understood: "Uncle! I'll go in and help too!"

It's not that she has any evil intentions, it's just that the opportunity is rare, so she's prepared for a rainy day and lets Yu Chuan go in and observe, so as not to panic when it's her turn.

Naturally, Second Sister You could not think of this, but Third Sister You reminded her on the way here.

When Baozhu and Ruizhu heard this, they understood and hurriedly followed.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baoqin, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others arrived at Lai's house one after another.

It is inevitable that I will bring my accompanying maid, although the courtyard is spacious enough, it is still a bit crowded.

Lai Shangrong had no intention of socializing, so he just greeted casually, then went back to the window and waited anxiously.

Due to the arrival of the female relatives of Rong Mansion, Lai Da and Xing Zhong had to move to the side hall in advance to wait for news.

Wang Xifeng in the crowd looked at Lai Shangrong who was waiting anxiously, and couldn't help but think of himself. If such a day comes, he doesn't know if he can make an excuse to go and protect him.Just as he was thinking about whether he had something or not, someone squeezed him in front of him. He was about to make a few jokes to calm the atmosphere, but when he saw that the person looking in front of him was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, he quickly stopped talking.

But then, when he saw Mrs.

Before she could take a closer look, she heard Xue Baochai's voice coming from behind her: "Fortunately, I asked everyone about the access control last night, and I found out that Sister Xing was actually going to give birth!"

Said, and said hello one by one.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Xue Baochai behind her, and then looked back at Lai Shangrong unconsciously.

It has been more than a month since he promised to complain to Mrs. Wang. Why is Xue Baochai still sitting on the Diaoyutai? Could it be that he has no chance to see his wife?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wang, who was in the front row alongside Mrs. Xing, but eight blocks away.

She was shocked at this sight. Originally, she was surprised by Mrs.

I couldn't help but secretly regret it. Who would think too much about wearing less clothes this summer? I was really too careful.

But when he turned around and saw Li Wan, who was wrapped more tightly than himself and was even sweating faintly, he felt regretful and a little more playful at the same time.

Just when I was thinking about whether there was something or not, I heard a clear cry of "wow" coming from inside the house.

Immediately afterwards, a stable woman came out holding the wrinkled little man and said like a treasure: "Congratulations, uncle! Congratulations, uncle! He is a big fat boy!"

Lai Shangrong turned around and said to Mrs. Xu, "Mom! You take care of me here, I'll go see Xiuyan first!"

Immediately, he rushed into the room.

Seeing Lai Shangrong running straight into the house regardless of the child handed to him, Xue Baoqin's eyes sparkled, while Lin Daiyu was thoughtful.

Na Wenpo looked confused and quickly chased Lai Shangrong into the house.

"Uncle! Look..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Lai Shangrong had already rushed to Xing Xiuyan's bedside regardless of the filthy atmosphere in the house.

He shouted: "This stinky boy has made Xiuyan so hard!"

As he said that, he took Xing Xiuyan's hand and started to greet him.

Po Wen had never seen the scene before her, and she was in a dilemma for a while.

In his previous life, this was a very considerate move, but it made Xing Xiuyan very frightened, thinking that he had some taboos about his concubine's eldest son.

"Sir...doesn't it mean that I don't like this child?"

"Ok?"

When Lai Shangrong heard this, he immediately realized Xing Xiuyan's worry.

It's not to blame that he didn't think it through properly. As a modern person, we often see this kind of plot in TV dramas. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

He just wanted to put on a show and comfort Xing Xiuyan, but he ignored the difference between ancient and modern times.

He said sincerely: "How could it be! This is our first child, so naturally I want to see you, this great hero, first!"

With that said, he turned around and carefully took the child from Po Wen's hands, sat on the edge of the bed and handed it to Xing Xiuyan.

Seeing his cautious look, Xing Xiuyan finally dropped the stone in her heart, but then picked up another stone.

"Uncle! Is Miss Lin here? The child's name..."

Lai Shangrong turned his head and glanced at the mandarin duck on the side, and she immediately understood and invited Lin Daiyu.

When Lin Daiyu came in with a bag of children's clothes, Lai Shangrong turned around and said with a smile, "I wonder what my sister named the child?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "What does Brother Lai think of the name Chengzhi?"

When Xing Xiuyan heard about it, she hurriedly bowed her body, and said happily, "This name is good, the girl can't make a mistake with it!"

If Lin Daiyu had named Chengsi, she would have doubted whether it was because of flattery. Chengzhi fit his identity quite well, and Lai Shangrong's background was not obvious, which made her relieved.

Lin Daiyu didn't originally have this name. Seeing that Lai Shangrong didn't care about the children, she thought he was worried that she already had a concubine's eldest son in the family before she was married, so she changed her name to this temporarily.
