Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 466 The next day
The next day.

Get up in the morning.

Lin Daiyu's legs and feet were fine, but her arms were very sore.

After all, before Lin Daiyu fainted in the bridal chamber last night, Lai Shangrong spent most of the time performing his skill of speaking like a lotus flower.

Although Lai Shangrong took all the credit, Lin Daiyu completed the transformation from a girl to a woman.

She carefully put away the brocade handkerchief and took Lai Shangrong to serve tea to the elders.

Lin Daiyu accompanied Mrs. Xu and said some thoughtful words.

Although Lai Shangrong already had two sons, in Xu's eyes, legitimate sons and concubines were still different.

Urging her to get married and then have a baby is consistent in ancient times and modern times. She must be urged to have a grandson as soon as possible.

This can't help but bring back Lin Daiyu's memories of last night. Thinking of her performance in the bridal chamber, she was shy and worried about disappointing her mother-in-law.

Returning to the room, he said worriedly: "Mr. sir, I am worried that I will disappoint my mother-in-law. You said yesterday that you will be fine once you get used to it. How long will it take to get used to it?"

Thinking of yesterday's danger, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

This really confused Lai Shangrong. Yesterday, it was just his words to comfort Lin Daiyu. After all, some people are born like this, just like Wang Xifeng, who has learned a lot, but is still a scumbag.

However, Lai Shangrong is not helpless, after all, he has Wang Xifeng's experience.

Just like the marathon in the previous life, if you can't run the whole marathon, you can still run a half marathon. If you can't run the half marathon, you can at least complete a sprint.

But it was difficult to explain this to Lin Daiyu, so she could only say perfunctorily: "Don't worry, madam, after these two days of work are over, I will think about it carefully and I will definitely come up with a suitable solution for you!"

While Lin Daiyu was still waiting to ask further questions, Lai Shangrong changed the subject.

"Yesterday Jia Yucun came to congratulate me and asked my husband to give this to you!"

As he spoke, he took out the dowry list and handed it over, and then said: "According to what he said, your dowry has been stored in Rong Mansion. I know a little bit about the situation there. I am afraid it has been misappropriated by them long ago. How to deal with this matter? Or I need you to come up with an idea!"

In ancient times, dowry was a woman's private property, and the husband had no right to interfere with it, let alone its disposal, including inheritance rights.

Lin Daiyu looked at the list in her hand, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Many of these are mother's dowry back then. They used it and returned it to the original owner. But even if it is embezzled, at least they should accept it. You can't just forget it like this. Besides, there are things my father has prepared for me."

Indeed, it is a bit unkind to misappropriate Lin Daiyu's dowry and treat people as fools.

Lai Shangrong praised: "My wife is wise! Then what do you think we should do?"

"It's not necessarily that they deliberately deceived it. Even if it was stored there, it would most likely be kept by my grandmother. With her current situation, it's hard to say whether she has forgotten it."

Having said this, holding Lai Shangrong's arm, the little bird leaned over like a human.

"If the dowry cannot be recovered, my husband will not dislike me, right?"

"How could it be! The person you love is your husband, not your dowry. Besides, don't you still know your husband's ability to make money?"

"I am so virtuous and capable, but my husband loves me so much. I am so lucky to be able to marry my husband!"

Lin Daiyu fell into Lai Shangrong's arms with a "squeak", then she opened her neck and sold her red lips to him.

Lai Shangrong bent down at the right time.

a long time.

Lin Daiyu suddenly struggled and said in panic: "Ms. sir! The sky is clear and the sun is bright, how can..."

"As a husband, I also hope that my wife will get used to it as soon as possible and be able to have our own child!"

The sound of struggling suddenly stopped, replaced by a desperate gasp.

……

In less than two quarters of an hour, Lai Shangrong finished all his clothes, turned around and pushed aside the quilt, and stared at Lin Daiyu, who looked like a fairy thinking about the world, her eyes were closed, her cheeks were flushed, and her vermilion lips were constantly moving.

She jokingly said, "Young ladies have to practice more with your husband!" After hearing this, Lin Daiyu's eyelids trembled and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Lai Shangrong leaned down and kissed her on the cheek before turning and leaving.

With a stooped back, we came all the way to Tianxiang Tower, and finally solved the problem of not losing the big tail.

The clouds stopped and the rain stopped, he patted Qin Keqing's pink back and said with a smile: "Hurry up and pack up, Zhong'er is almost here, I'll go to the dock right now!"

Speaking of his younger brother Qin Zhong, Qin Keqing seemed a little timid about being close to home.

"I don't know if Zhong'er has lost weight or gained weight, or if he has grown taller. I don't know if he can still wear the clothes I made for him!"

"If you can't fit it, make a few more clothes. Leave the clothes that are too small for Chengli later!"

Speaking of her son, Qin Keqing's face showed the brilliance of motherhood.

"Master, please leave quickly! I'm going to see my son too. This is the first time for him to see his uncle!"

……

Bluestone Pier.

An official ship with colorful flags flying slowly sailed towards the shore.

Lai Shangrong's carriage and Meifu's carriage were clearly separated on both sides of the road.

"master!"

Before the boat touched the shore, Qin Zhong on the deck shouted and waved to the shore, while Lai Shangrong on the shore nodded slightly.

When the gangplank was laid, Mei Gong, the chief officer of the mission who disembarked first, did not go to his carriage, but walked straight to Lai Shangrong, followed closely by Qin Zhong.

Coming closer, Mei Gong cupped his hands and said, "Master Lai!"

Although he had already learned about Mei Gong's change in attitude from Qin Zhong's letter, Lai Shangrong still did not expect that he would take the initiative to greet her.

Although Mei Gong spread rumors and slander, he got some unexpected benefits because of those rumors.

Besides, Xue Baoqin is going to become a concubine today.

It is said that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Mei Gong took the initiative to show his kindness, so there was no need for Lai Shangrong to hold on to her.

He also raised his hands and greeted: "Mei Hanlin!"

Mei Gong's mission as an envoy has ended and no new position has been assigned, so Lai Shangrong is still regarded as a Hanlin.

"In the past, I was a little old man who sat down and watched the sky. I didn't realize Master Lai's far-sightedness. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, Mei Gong bowed and apologized.

Lai Shangrong returned the salute and spoke in an official tone: "It's all for the imperial court, Mei Hanlin is serious!"

Lai Shangrong doesn't know whether Mei Gong sincerely understands, or is paralyzed by his strategy, or whether he has heard about the situation in the court and has become a grassroots.

Naturally, just because of a few words, they can really clear up all the past grudges and shake hands and talk happily.

"In the past two years, the little old man and Qin Xiaoyou have been friends for a long time. Mr. Lai has taught a good apprentice!"

Mei Gong seemed to have noticed his alienation, sighed, and said with a smile: "I have to go to the palace to recover today. I will talk to Master Lai in detail later when I have time!"

"Mei Hanlin, walk slowly!"

Lai Shangrong frowned secretly.

Others don't know, but Lai Shangrong knows very well that Mei Gong is not so much an envoy, but a disguised exile.

Emperor Zhenglong's health was getting worse day by day. He had been out of court for more than two months in the morning, and he couldn't take care of domestic affairs. He still had energy. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he summoned him to the palace and asked about Xiyi's situation. .
