Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 49

Lai's family, backyard flower hall.

You, Li Wan, Sister Feng and Qin Keqing were sitting around an Eight Immortals table.

Sister Feng was smacking melon seeds and gloating: "If you climb high, you will fall heavy! The people who won the exam don't even know what their last name is. He can monopolize this kind of business!"

Then he looked at Youshi and sarcastically said, "You are also ignorant. You can't control Brother Zhen, but you can't even control your sister and become his concubine!"

Youshi was dumbfounded, as if he had never heard of it.

"Auntie!" Qin Keqing said resentfully: "What you said made even my father complain. Uncle relied on his own fortune to create the property, and it didn't harm anyone. How could it cause trouble? Even if he couldn't keep it, wouldn't he still have our family? ?"

Sister Feng has a good relationship with Qin Keqing. She just got carried away and accidentally injured an ally. Now she is embarrassed to say harsh words, but it does not prevent her from arguing with reason.

"If he had taken it out earlier, there is no doubt that our ancestors would have cared for him. Now all the relatives and relatives have come to visit us. Our family is the last one to know. The old lady has lost face. How can she still be here?" Protect his family?"

"But after all, he created the property himself, so our family can't take it for nothing, right?"

"Tch! Even his wife and I are the private property of our house. What kind of property can his family have! But after all, because of Aunt Lai's kindness, our ancestors will not beat him to death with a stick. After this time, I'm afraid Lai will not be the same." I want to beg for food in the mansion."

"Ah!" Li Wan exclaimed, "You mean to let his family go out?"

"After something like this, can we still let him rely on the housekeeper? But it's not necessary to punish him too much. It's easy to let him go, but it will be difficult to take advantage of our family's influence in the future!"

"Will the school still let him teach?"

Li Wan was only concerned about whether Lai Shangrong could continue to teach in the school. She had seen her son's studies for the past six months, and of course she did not want to change teachers.

"Of course that's not possible!"

Li Wan couldn't help feeling regretful after hearing this, but firstly she had no right to speak, and secondly she was not a meddlesome character. Inquiring about the decision of the superiors was against her usual style of doing things.

Qin Keqing held Youshi's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. My aunt has already said that she won't be punished too much. It's not a bad thing if his family is deregistered. You can always do something with your uncle's talents."

Sister Feng twisted a piece of orange and stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a smile: "That's not bad, but he has to hand over the recipe obediently. Now looking at this situation, everyone may have run away!"

Youshi heard this and exclaimed: "Ah!~He ran away? Where did he go?"

"How do I know this? I think I got the letter in advance and ran away first. Otherwise, on this day, why would he, the real owner, be missing?"

Youshi suddenly stood up from the chair: "Since he is not here, there is no way to get married!"

Qin Keqing grabbed her and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry. Uncle Lai is not that kind of person. He must have been held back by something."

"Oh! No matter how many people were sent by the family, they didn't find it, so they ran away!"

Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps outside, and Ping'er, Yindie and several other maids ran in.

"Grandma, please go back home quickly! The second master sent someone to tell you that our eldest lady has been promoted to the title of Minister of Fengzao Palace and the title of virtuous concubine. Please quickly ask the old lady to lead the ladies into the palace to express gratitude!"

After hearing this, Sister Feng beamed with joy and called everyone to rush to the front yard.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw that Mrs. Jia Mu, Xing and Mrs. Wang had all gotten into the car. Jia She and Jia Zhen had already gone one step ahead and were busy getting into the car.

Back at home, everyone put on makeup.

Jia Mu led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. You, a total of four people, into the court in a sedan chair.

Jia She and Jia Zhen also changed their court clothes and led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Jia Mu in a sedan chair.As a result, everyone in Ning Rong's house was happy and excited, with a look of pride on their faces, and they were laughing and talking.

Sister Feng was not qualified to enter the palace to thank her for the gift because she had no royal title, so when she returned to her room, she could not help but think about making money from papermaking.Suddenly I remembered that the entire family had returned, but no one from the Lai family was left to guard them.

So Ping'er took Laiwang to stay at the spot, and if Lai Shangrong was found, he must not let him slip away, and he must be brought back.

Ping'er got the order and took Lai Wang and several other boys to Lai's house. He happened to meet Lai Shangrong who had returned from the palace.

Without any explanation, he was quickly controlled and taken to Rong Mansion.

Originally, Lai Wang added a few boys, but even if he couldn't beat them, Lai Shangrong still had time to run home. Because he was thinking about what happened today along the way, he didn't notice Lai Wang and the others. The sudden attack brought back the memories of the morning in panic. Muscle memory did not allow him to resist.

In a daze, he was tied up and taken to the three-room building behind Rongxi Hall.

I saw Sister Feng leaning back on the kang by the window, with a pair of red-phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, bright red lips, bright teeth inside, tall clouds on the temples, and little bits of sunlight shining through the window screen on the hairpin ring. Wearing it, a little halo appears, reflecting like a fairy concubine.

Lai Shangrong didn't want to take a closer look, so he quickly turned his eyes away. Because there was a floor cage in the house, Wang Xifeng was not wearing thick clothes. By chance, he caught a glimpse of a pair of bones and flesh evenly twisted together under the hem of her skirt. jade legs.

"Uh-huh!~" He groaned softly, stretched out, and took a long breath.

At this moment, Lai Shangrong swallowed dryly.

Sister Feng didn't notice anything strange about him because she was leaning on him.

He thought to himself: "I didn't expect you to have the courage to come back! Why don't you tell me the paper-making recipe soon!"

Lai Shangrong was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the reason. Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that he wanted to take the lead in improving papermaking technology.

Therefore, the improvement of papermaking technology was changed from his own research and development to the emperor's concern for the scholars all over the world. He issued a secret order to take the lead in the implementation, while Lai Shangrong was only the specific executor.

Although he was robbed of the first place, he still got some credit. Tomorrow, the imperial edict for Grace and Jinshi to enter the court as officials will be issued. His goal can be considered achieved, and he has a name with the emperor, which can be considered a disaster. This is where blessings depend.

Because Jia Zheng was busy in the palace thanking him, he probably had not had time to explain. Combined with the knowledge that Jia She and Jia Zhen were asking about papermaking technology early in the morning, Wang Xifeng's behavior was traceable.

Combined with Wang Xifeng's attitude of sending people to arrest him, Jia Mu's tendency is also obvious.

Then even the last trace of affection is gone.

It is not his style to not avenge himself, Jia She and Jia Zhen will find them sooner or later.

In the past, he had to be timid, but now others don't know, Jia Zheng knows how Yuanchun got the title of concubine, and he has the emperor as his back, so it's okay not to be arrogant when he succeeds, but if he is asked to compromise, he can't do it.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything and just looked at Sister Feng unscrupulously.

Sister Feng originally thought that he was just lost and frightened, but when she turned around, she saw him looking at her unscrupulously.

Immediately, two curved willow leaf hanging eyebrows were raised, and a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes were full of power and evil.

"What a slave! I think you are so cowardly! Now you dare to seek death! Pull him out and wake him up!"

Lai Shangrong glanced around just to taste the pleasure of revenge. Today's great joy and great sorrow came too quickly and suddenly, and he urgently needed to relieve the pressure.

"Haha! I'm afraid you still don't know why the eldest lady became a concubine, right?"

While secretly writing down the pattern of being tied up, he made up his mind how to repay him, and at the same time added another stroke of play in the small book.

Um! ~ Just write it down, but there is no need to empathize with it.
