Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 403
After leaving Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lai Shangrong came to Zilingzhou and saw Xiuju and Xiaolianhua waiting eagerly in front of the courtyard gate.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle Lai!"

After all, Xiuju was much bigger than Little Lotus, and he knew more about the world, so he changed his mouth in advance like a snow geese.

"Well! Where is the second lady? Why don't you see Si Qi?"

As Lai Shangrong said this, he took out two small earrings from his arms. These were the same pieces of jewelry made from the original piece of violet jade.

Although they have already dispersed in Rong Mansion, except for chess players in Zhui Jin Building, no one else has a chance to get it.

Of course, Siqi could only keep it privately and did not dare to wear it in front of others.

"Thank you, uncle! The lady is in the room, and Sister Siqi has gone to pass the news!"

Xiu Ju and Xiao Lian Hua were overjoyed to receive the reward and quickly replied.

Lai Shangrong touched Xiao Lianhua's head and walked towards Zhujin Tower.

When he came to the door, he didn't find Siqi, so he went to Yingchun's boudoir without hesitation.

Although he had never entered Zhujin Tower, he knew the original drawings clearly, so he naturally did not need guidance for the location of Yingchun Boudoir.

As soon as he entered the back room, he saw Si Qi coming out of the boudoir inside.

Yingying bowed and said: "Sir! The lady is inside. I will guard you outside!"

Lai Shangrong gave Si Qi an approving look, stepped into Yingchun's boudoir, and held the door ajar with his backhand.

I saw a thin summer shirt to welcome the spring, and a pink face with spring in it. She stood pretty in front of the boudoir bed, with her hands crossed and placed under her belly.

A pair of watery, affectionate eyes looked at him with a hint of panic, slightly evasive.

Seeing Lai Shangrong come in, he quickly saluted and said, "Brother Lai!"

However, he didn't notice it even when he was standing. He just squatted down slightly to salute, when the sequelae he had just imagined happened.

I felt my legs were weak and I almost fell to the ground.

It was too late, but it was so fast that I saw Lai Shangrong leaping in front of Yingchun, grabbing Yingchun's catkins with one hand, and embracing Yingchun's slender waist with the other, and he actually performed the starting position of a ballroom dance.

I felt that the catkins in my hands were a little moist. It was obvious that I was too nervous to welcome the spring and sweated a lot.

So he said half-jokingly: "How can my sister do such a great gift!"

After all, Yingchun is a girl who has not left the court. Let alone personal experience, she has never seen such a situation.

At this moment, Lai Shangrong held Rou Di and held her waist in his arms, and his already weak legs became increasingly weak.

Pursing her lips, she murmured, "Lai...Brother Lai, my sister is rude!"

Lai Shangrong still held Yingchun's catkins in one hand and held her slim waist with the other, half dragging and half dragging Yingchun to the bed as if teaching her to dance.

He laughed and said: "Hey! Brother Lai is very happy for such a faux pas!"

Yingchun said solemnly: "Hey! Hey! It's okay, Brother Lai, if you don't blame me!"

Lai Shangrong just thought that Mrs. Xing's efforts were not in vain, and Yingchun understood her advice.

No longer pretending to be a gentleman, he placed Yingchun in front of him and did it close to him. Then he put his arms around his armpits, each held one hand, and rubbed it repeatedly.

He put on a distressed look and said distressedly: "It's good if you have that intention. Why do you have to work so hard? Let Brother Lai see if he hurts his hand!"

While talking, Lai Shangrong held a pair of spring catkins in her hands and rubbed them again and again. She was already nervous and her palms sweated a lot. The repeated rubbings immediately spread the sweat evenly all over her bare hands. When illuminated by candlelight, it looks like a pair of catkins wrapped in a layer of batter.

Yingchun had a submissive nature. Although she felt a little ashamed to be held in his arms like this, she did not dare to refuse despite the advice of Mrs. Xing and Si Qi.

Although the conjecture just now was not true, it was many times too much than now, so at least he was prepared in his heart.Even, I was a little fortunate that Lai Shangrong did not act as he imagined.

However, just as she was feeling lucky, she felt a tightness in her body.

A pair of arms has been crossed by Lai Shangrong from the front of his body, and placed on his shoulders.

Lai Shangrong looked carefully at his fingers to see if there were any needle marks, while blowing hot air on them.

Yingchun has never been so pampered by others. Although Lai Shangrong led her to cross her arms, it will inevitably cause many unnecessary touches, but the sweetness in her heart overcomes her shyness.

Ruanyu murmured: "Yingchun is lucky to have the love and protection of my eldest brother..."

After all, she is still a girl who has not left the court. When it comes to love and care, she is already ashamed and unable to hold on.

"Lai...Brother Lai..."

At this point, her lips were tightly sealed, and Yingchun felt dizzy.

Immediately, a feeling that was even more extreme than imagined came over me, and my mind suddenly went blank.

…………

I don't know how much time passed before Yingchun woke up from his trance.

Suddenly, the world was spinning, and Lai Shangrong picked him up and placed him on the edge of the bed to sit down.

Lai Shangrong stood in front of the bed, patted the front of his clothes, resisted the urge to stay and said: "Filial piety to the country must be observed. I can only wrong my sister to marry you next year. It is getting late, so I will go back first." , you should rest early! If you need anything, remember to ask Siqi to come find me, and I will come back to see you after a while."

"Then...brother Lai is a welcome send-off to the Spring Festival!"

Yingchun was about to get up, but was held down by Lai Shangrong.

"Just rest! I'll go out and ask Si Qi to come in and change the clothes inside for you!"

Yingchun's face flushed immediately after hearing this, and she didn't dare to look at Lai Shangrong anymore.

He let out a light 'hmm' like a mosquito.

He thought to himself, as expected, it is the wife who understands a man’s thoughts better, even someone like Brother Lai can do this...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly guess that Mrs. Xing only understood, how could even Si Qi know so clearly?
While wondering, I only heard Lai Shangrong's voice from outside the house: "Bring a clean suit of clothes to replace the second lady. During the national filial piety period, I won't stay here overnight!"

After leaving Zhujin Tower and coming to the gate of Zilingzhou Courtyard, Lai Shangrong took out two more pieces of broken silver and threw them to Xiuju and Xiaolianhua.

Then he rushed to the main entrance of Grand View Garden.

Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Zhujin Pavilion failed to respond twice. Lai Shangrong was already depressed and was eager to find an outlet.

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, he left the Grand View Garden and came to Wang Xifeng's courtyard. He didn't care about the servants in the courtyard, and walked grandly into the main hall and turned into Wang Xifeng's house.

In the room, Wang Xifeng and the other three were chatting about household matters. When they saw him coming in, they were overjoyed.

He stood up to greet him and said, "Uncle...Shang Rong!"

Mother Jia and the others had just returned today, so Wang Xifeng naturally knew that as soon as Lai Shangrong came back, he went to her room to tell her how to be unhappy.

He was ecstatic in his heart, but he said coquettishly: "During the period of national filial piety, Shang Rong is not shy about it. Is it just like this? Can't wait?"

"Hehehehe!" Lai Shangrong said with a bad smile: "I really have to avoid taboos, but the two brothers Lian are just filling their posts. Now during the period of national filial piety, there are no banquets and music, and the long nights are idle, so we can only make people. Well!"

"Keke!" Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and chuckled: "What the second master said is that I will wait for the second master Lian to rest right now!"

"Huh?" Lai Shangrong lifted up the front of his gown and said in mock anger: "Where did you come from, Mr. Lian? Why don't you serve you, Mr. Lai!"
