Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 460
"couple?"

In the main hall of Yihongyuan, Mrs. Wang sat upright and said with a sneer: "This is also a man who is not afraid of shame. He secretly said that we are husband and wife who have the same birthday. Is this what you said? Forgive me that I devoted myself to worshiping Buddha and didn't even know it."

But you know that although my body is not big, my heart, ears, spirit and mind are always here.Could it be that I share the same precious jade, so I can rest assured that it will be ruined by your seduction?
Let’s talk about it quickly, whose birthday is He Baoyu’s? "

I didn't dare to agree, so an old nun pointed at her and said, "This Huixiang, also called Si'er, is born on the same day as Baoyu."

Jia Baoyu hesitated to speak, but finally lowered his head in silence and stood aside without saying a word.

Mrs. Wang then pointed at the maids in the room and ordered more than ten people at once, leaving only Xiren, Zicuckoo, Musk Moon and Qiu Wen.

"Tell them all to take them back to their families and arrange them. From now on, you four will be the only ones in this courtyard. No more people are allowed to enter inside. Whatever arrangements are made will be dispatched by the attackers!"

After a pause, he said to She Yue Qiu Wen: "Do you know why I keep you?"

Since Xiren surrendered to Lai Shangrong, he felt that the second master Bao was boring, so he asked She Yue Qiuwen to take over the escort job.

She knew very well that Lai Shangrong could not get rid of the sand in his eyes, and she was worried that her son would have no one to take care of him, so he would steal someone from him. In addition, She Yue Qiu Wen was already obedient to the attacker's words, so she left the two of them behind.

The two of them were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.

"I just see that you are always tight-lipped and still obedient. Once Baoyu gets married, Xiren and Zijuan will follow Bao Yatou. You two will stay in front of Baoyu to serve her."

Then he turned to Xiren and Zijuan and said, "You will arrange things well later. If anything goes wrong by then, I won't forgive you!"

Xiren and Zijuan quickly knelt down and looked at Mrs. Wang in disbelief.

Lai Shangrong had already informed the arrangement in advance. They were still skeptical at first, but even now they still couldn't believe it.

He said timidly: "Mrs... what the wife said, was it Uncle Lai's order?"

Mrs. Wang stood up and nodded: "On the wedding day, Baoyu will have to go back to live in the backyard. You will still come back after the wedding!"

Zicuckoo wished for this, but Xiren was devastated after hearing this. She was looking forward to the position of aunt.

Now that he can't even keep Jia Baoyu by his side, how can he still hope for it?
Tremblingly, he said: "Then... after that slave..."

Mrs. Wang swung her sleeves and said, "When you come back, if I can have a son and a half, I will definitely help you with your position!"

Xiren was stunned when he heard this.

Isn’t Mrs. Wang forcing others to make things difficult?How about not staying with Jia Baoyu...

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood. No wonder Mrs. Wang specially told her that she could have a son and a half daughter when she comes back.

It turns out that the purpose is not to add children to the Jia family, but to add to the Lai family.

However, thinking about it, it seems natural. Now the entire Rong Mansion is looking up to Uncle Lai. Once Uncle Lai's seed is found, the Jia family will have to pay great attention to it?

Knowing the current situation earlier, why do you have to deal with the aftermath after serving Mr. Lai?

Xiren couldn't help but regret.

Although Mrs. Wang told her to wait until after the wedding, pregnancy is not something you just want, and it is better to get pregnant sooner rather than later.

Besides, Uncle Lai has always only used himself as a punching bag. If Jia Baoyu moves out of the garden, there will be fewer opportunities to meet him in the future. How can he remember to vent his anger on her?

Under normal circumstances, she would not dare to come to the door, but today Mrs. Wang made this arrangement, just under the guise of reporting.

If Uncle Lai gets interested, wouldn't it be a good time to get serious?

Once this idea comes to mind, it can no longer be suppressed.

We had dinner early, took a bath and dressed up, and then took advantage of the night to go to Lai's house to listen to Lai Shangrong's teachings.

She was also a little scheming, for fear that she would go too early and Lai Shangrong was having a meal. After hearing her report, she stopped inviting guests.

And if I go there at night, if I happen to disturb Uncle Lai's good deeds, wouldn't I just take it out on myself?

As soon as she left, Zijuan went back to the house to rest.

When Jia Baoyu in the room saw the two door gods leaving, she put on a coat and was about to go out.

She Yue and Qiu Wen quickly stopped and said, "Second Master! Where are you going? My wife told me to keep an eye on you!"

Jia Baoyu said with an aggrieved look: "Now that you are looking at me like a thief, who am I? Do you not have the same heart as me and want to leave me?"

She Yue and Qiu Wen suddenly showed unbearable expressions and said hesitantly: "How could it be! It's just that the wedding is approaching, and my wife is worried about you. Just wait until you get through this period!"

Jia Baoyu said angrily: "I'm just in a bad mood and want to go out and relax. Do I have to wait for you to ask my wife for permission first?"

"I don't dare! Then let's walk around the yard with the second master!"

"Sure enough, you guys don't agree with me anymore. Why don't you accompany me to see my wife? It would be clean if we send them off together!"

Sheyue and Qiuwen are not Xiren and Zijuan after all, they are backed by the big tree Lai Shangrong, if he insists on asking Mrs. Wang to drive them away, they will not be able to stay.

"The princess still lives in the garden now. Please don't wander around late at night. Take a stroll and come back. If Sister Xiren comes back and can't see you, we can..."

The reason why Mrs. Wang banned him was because she was worried that he would bump into Lai Shangrong at night, and Princess Beijing was worshiping Buddha in the mansion, which also gave her a reasonable excuse.

Before they could finish speaking, Jia Baoyu waved his hand and left Yihongyuan without looking back.

Along the flat and wide road until they arrived in front of the Cuicui Temple, Jia Baoyu stopped in front of the door for a long time. He wanted to raise his hand and knock on the door several times, but in the end he still lacked the courage.

When Miaoyu came back, he was the happiest in the Grand View Garden.

He came to the door excitedly, but he didn't even see Miaoyu's face, and he was rejected several times in succession.

At first, he just thought that Miaoyu was kicked out of the house and he was unable to stop her because she was still angry.

But then, I saw Lai Shangrong entering the room unimpeded, but I still didn't know the reason.

Leaving Changcui Temple, head north all the way to the destination of this trip——Jade Emperor Temple.

Seeing the door open, he stepped in.

There were many people at noon and Mrs. Wang was in a rage. He did not dare to disobey her face to face, so he thought about coming to his mother to plead for mercy at night.

Just arrived in front of the hall, was about to knock on the door, but heard Mrs. Wang's intermittent shouts from inside.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Jia Baoyu was shocked immediately, did his mother suddenly have an emergency?

Thinking of this, he didn't see the slightest worry, on the contrary, he was overjoyed. He was worried that he would go against Mrs. Wang's wishes and run around at night, which would lead to severe scolding. If he happened to encounter an emergency, this problem would be solved easily.

Just as he was about to open the door and enter, he heard a sinister laughter coming from him.

"Hey! My wife has been shouting for half an hour. How come you are still fine when I see you?"

This……

Jia Baoyu quickly retracted his hand. Could it be that the owner of the voice was his lifelong enemy Lai Shangrong?From Lin Daiyu to Xue Baoqin, and then to Miaoyu, Lai Shangrong is his lingering nightmare.

A once-treacherous slave, he didn't stop robbing his sisters, and he actually dared to torture his wife?
I was about to rush in and question him, but I was intimidated.

The offensive questions rang in her ears at noon, and most of the people around her were driven away, obviously under the coercion of Lai Shangrong.

But where did he get the courage?

Why does the wife have to endure the humiliation?

Suddenly, Jia Baoyu suddenly realized that there must be something in his family that fell into the hands of this tricky slave, otherwise why would his wife begrudgingly compromise?

If he rushed in to question him at this moment, how could Lai Shangrong stop?Wouldn't it mean that the wife suffered in vain?
Thinking of this, he retracted his legs resentfully.

The cries for help inside became more and more intense, and Jia Baoyu ducked to the window.

Although he couldn't rush in to stop him from torturing his wife, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, at least he had to know how much she had been tortured.

Slowly stretch out the index finger, slowly poke open a small eye on the window screen, and put his head closer...

Jia Baoyu fell to the ground and exclaimed: "How could it be!"

The voice blurted out and he realized something was wrong.

Dejected, he slowly got up from the ground and was about to leave.

But I heard Mrs. Wang in the room gasping for breath: "Old... don't worry, I have arranged everything for you today!"

master?

Jia Baoyu stopped immediately. The scene inside just passed by in a flash, and he did not dare to take a closer look.

Could it be that I heard wrong?
But didn't his father contract that unspeakable disease and couldn't return home?

Suddenly it occurred to me that Mrs. Wang had just said that she had some arrangements. Could it be that she had secretly arranged for Chen Cang to return home?

That's right, there's no guarantee that the disease won't change people's voices. Maybe I heard it wrong.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but shudder, and secretly complained that Mrs. Wang was confused.

Although he hadn't met Jia Zheng when he returned home, all the servants sent to Huazhi Lane were transferred from the Rong Mansion.

He also knew from hearsay that Jia Zheng had a flat nose, a bald head, and sores on the corners of his head. He had long been beyond recognition.

It was impossible to avoid such a situation, so why did he sneak the source of the disease back into the house.

just in case……

Just as he was thinking about how to stop Mrs. Wang's foolish behavior, he heard another voice coming from inside.

Immediately, the man's voice came again: "Don't worry! Now that I have become a master, I will not shirk the responsibility of this master. I will find a concubine with a good family background for him in the future, so as to continue the family relationship!"

His voice sounded like Lai Shangrong's, that's all, it could be attributed to his illness, but his voice sounded like a master's and a master's, it didn't sound like Jia Zheng's tone at all, the more Jia Baoyu listened, the more confused he became.

He keeps talking about the truth and responsibility of the master. Could it be that the master knew that he was about to die soon, so he asked his wife to arrange to enter the house overnight, and invited Lai Shangrong to come over, just to entrust his family to this unruly slave?
Are you going to use Cao Cao's trick of "I will support you as your wife"?
Thinking of this, I quickly went to the window to look inside.

After watching for a long time, it was confirmed that there were only Lai Shangrong and Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng was not seen.

But I saw Mrs. Wang coming to Lai Shangrong with a flattering face. She raised her hand and put her hand on Lai Shangrong's shoulder and said, "I can naturally trust what the master said. However, I am worried that as time goes by, this child will always notice something." Clues!
Besides, if Bao Yatou gets pregnant in the future, I’m afraid she won’t be able to hide it from him anymore! "

Now Jia Baoyu finally confirmed that Mrs. Wang's master did not call Jia Zheng, but Lai Shangrong.

This...doesn't this mean that you consider yourself a thief and your father?

But, what do you want to hide from yourself?Why did you get involved with Sister Bao again?
It was a matter of his own. Jia Baoyu couldn't move any further and squatted down by the window, quietly eavesdropping.

"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge! I'm afraid Jia Zheng won't live for more than two years because of his illness. If he gets pregnant, ask Baochai to come and accompany you to worship Buddha. When the child is born, he will take it back to me to raise him. .

However, you must not feel sorry for your son. If Menghan's medicine is insufficient and he wakes up in the middle of the night and sees the uncle and Baochai consummating their marriage, don't blame the uncle! "

Jia Baoyu felt his head buzzing. Was he going to drug himself?

Although Menghan medicine is not poison, Lai Shangrong's words about consummating Baochai's marriage made him feel like he was struck by thunder.

This naughty slave was so ambitious that he didn't stop after robbing Sister Lin, Sister Baoqin, and Sister Miaoyu. He actually didn't keep any of them for himself, and even took advantage of Sister Bao.

"Don't worry! When the time comes, we will free up the wing in the courtyard and ask Xiren and Zijuan to carry him to the wing to guard him, and we can spend the night there."

I thought that because of my mother's love for me, I would not help Zhou to do evil. However, after hearing this, Mrs. Wang, instead of being angry, came up with suggestions.

Jia Baoyu felt a chill rising in his heart.

It seems that the wife not only fell in love with Lai Shangrong, but also helped him steal her precious sister.

No wonder he drove away most of the people around him. This was to pave the way for Lai Shangrong!
Jia Baoyu no longer had the courage to listen anymore. He was afraid that the two would discover his traces, so he took precautions and quietly left the Jade Emperor Temple.

After leaving the temple gate, he ran towards the main entrance of the Grand View Garden like flying.

He ran all the way to the garden gate and met the attacker coming in from the outside with a disappointed look on his face.

"Did the second master forget the wife's instructions? Where are you going so late at night?"

"I...I want to see the old lady!"

The people in the Jade Emperor Temple heard it so clearly that they didn't know that the attacker was Lai Shangrong's spy.

His mother conspired with outsiders to kill him, and the maids around him were their spies, so he could only ask Jia Mu for help.

When Xiren went to Lai's house, he didn't see Lai Shangrong. He was working in vain and was filled with resentment.

In addition, Mrs. Wang had already said that whether she could get the position of aunt was not focused on Jia Baoyu, but entirely on Lai Shangrong.

He said angrily: "Go back! The old lady can only lie down all day long. Isn't it the same during the day and at night?"

After Jing Xiren said this, Jia Baoyu also woke up.

The situation was urgent and he had no time to think.

Mother Jia suffered a stroke, not to mention upholding justice for herself, she couldn't even speak, so asking her for help would not be entrusted to her?
If you are not careful, you may reveal the secret you know.

Afraid of making Xi Ren suspicious, he followed Xi Ren back to Yihongyuan.

After going to bed, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, racking his brains, and he really thought of a savior.

Since Jia Zheng was nowhere to be seen in the room, the speculation that he had entrusted to his wife before could not be taken seriously.

With Jia Zheng's character, if he knew about Mrs. Wang and Lai Shangrong's affair, how could such a cuckold still swallow his anger?
