Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 51: On No Gentleman at Heart

While Jia Zheng was making an impassioned speech, Ping'er came to the quiet courtyard in the southeast corner of Rong Mansion and opened the room where Lai Shangrong was imprisoned.

"Uncle Lai, let's go quickly!"

"Oh? Where are you going? Uncle Zheng and the others are back?"

"Grandma has already asked clearly, let me take the uncle out of the back door!"

Lai Shangrong was afraid that his parents would be worried, and he didn't want to delay. He looked back at the house that was so close to him, and followed Ping'er out of the courtyard.

Although there are many houses in Rong Mansion, it is an inner house in the backyard after all. In addition, Sister Feng does not want him to be seen, so naturally it is safest to arrange this small courtyard with no people. By coincidence, this is the room where he and Si Qi had a fierce battle. .

When he was detained, he only focused on taking stock of his gains and losses, and was a little reluctant to leave suddenly.

"Uncle Lai has a bright future, it's better not to make any mistakes!"

Turning into the lane, Ping'er, who was walking in front, suddenly said this.

Lai Shangrong heard the meaning of these words, and he had an idea and pretended not to be angry: "Miss Ping'er's words are so unreasonable, I fulfilled the emperor's order well, and earned such a great favor for the family, but you are shouting and beating me!" Shouting to kill me was arrested and locked up for a long time, but he said that I made a mistake!"

Ping'er is a person of contradictions. Her loyalty to Wang Xifeng is unquestionable, but she will also privately take care of those who are punished by Sister Feng. Whether it is her way of survival or overflowing with compassion, Lai Shangrong sees an opportunity.

That's why I complained and complained in front of her.

"You have made great achievements this time, and yet you have been wronged. Will Master and Madam still treat you badly? But if you are arrogant and have inappropriate thoughts, be careful to destroy your future!"

Outside Rongxi Hall, she heard Jia Zheng's words clearly, so she reminded him, hoping to dispel Lai Shangrong's wishful thinking.

"I have worked hard and devoted all my energy for the house, and you treat me like this. Can't I even feel a little resentful?"

Of course Lai Shangrong would not admit it. He had inappropriate thoughts and pretended to be angry and said: "Miss Ping'er, you should understand me best. I have heard about you. You are so loyal to her, Second Grandma Lian, but... How many more years can you occupy, will there be no resentment in your heart at all?"

Ping'er didn't expect that Lai Shangrong would put such a thing on the table and said incoherently: "You...how could you..."

"I just feel the same way! It's okay to accuse her. I just glared at her twice in the Baosha, and she was about to accuse me of evil intentions. Fortunately, I was tied up!"

Lai Shangrong was eloquent, and although Ping'er was dubious, he was also a little relaxed. Mainly, they had different opinions on this matter, and it was really unclear. Moreover, Sister Feng also said that he was looking around, so it was reasonable to glare at him in anger.

"Thank you Miss Ping'er for sending me off!"

At the back door, Lai Shangrong was polite and walked away.

As soon as he entered the house, the concierge immediately rushed to the backyard with great wealth.

"The uncle is back!"

Looking at the parents who were greeted by the news, the family felt as if they were a world away.

Lai Shangrong hurriedly explained what happened to his parents. Both his parents knew the inside story, so they might be exposed to the outside world, so it would be better to explain clearly.

"This is truly a blessing from God! Is my son really in the eyes of the emperor?"

"That's natural! Tomorrow, Tong Jinshi's grace will be released, but if it is lacking, we have to wait for the emperor's arrangements."

The emperor met Jia Zheng and summoned him to Linjing Hall for a detailed discussion.

It was then that he knew that the steam engine he bought was actually supervised by the emperor himself. Being astute, he immediately seized the opportunity and showed off his scientific and economic knowledge to the emperor.

He also threatened to have some clues about the manufacture of glass, which greatly delighted Emperor Zhenglong, who was annoyed that he had not secretly introduced the improved papermaking technology.

The monarch and his ministers talked very happily.

However, the court also needed to play games, and the emperor did not have a clear statement on the arrangement of official positions. "Let's go talk to the old lady. You go and comfort her. She has been wronged by making things like this today."

They were planning to make a big deal out of it, but they didn't expect such a fuss to happen. The Lai family's contacts were all related to the Jia family. There were many people who acted according to the prevailing situation. If the situation was not good, they would leave early.

"If you are not secretive, you will lose your ministers. If you are not secretive, you will lose your virginity. Grandma, don't tell the truth."

Lai Shangrong warned and returned to the west wing of the main courtyard.

"You run away when something happens? Are you still a man?"

As soon as she entered the room, Sanjie You stood up with a cold eyebrow.

"I was ordered to enter the palace and something unexpected happened..."

Lai Shangrong took out the compiled statement and explained it roughly.

"Then...is everything okay?" Third Sister You asked doubtfully.

"Nonsense! They are also blind and dare to plot something that belongs to the emperor!"

After saying that, he picked up the scale beam on the table and smiled at Sister You who was standing in front of him: "Let my brother-in-law take off the hijab first!"

Second Sister You sat on the bed, clasping her hands tightly. After listening to the conversation between Lai Shangrong and her younger sister, her heart lifted up in her throat and she finally let go. This day seemed like a lifetime ago, with repeated torments of joy and sorrow, and her shyness was reversed. Much lighter.

At this time, the strings that had been tense all day relaxed, and a feeling of grievance arose in my heart.

Lai Shangrong came to the bed and lifted up a corner of his hijab. He saw a head full of pearls, two traces of tears hanging on his charming and passionate face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes with a little sparkle.

Second Sister You is timid and sentimental, but with the pear blossoms in the rain, her tearful eyes are particularly endearing.

Lai Shangrong dropped the weighing beam and ignored the presence of Third Sister You. He half-knelt on the edge of the bed and grabbed the green-white catkins, and leaned forward to lick the tears off his face.

Second Sister You's heart full of grievances turned into full of love in an instant, her flawless white jade face suddenly became as beautiful as red clouds, a pair of willow eyebrows trembled slightly, her face was full of shyness, her lips moved, and her voice was weak.

"master!"

"Call me husband!"

Second Sister You bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, making her red lips look even more delicate.

He buried his head on Lai Shangrong's shoulder and moaned softly: "Husband!~"

Lai Shangrong suddenly hugged Yangliu's slim waist, carried Second Sister You close to the table, put it down gently, picked up two glasses of Hexin wine, and handed one to Second Sister You.

The arms gently wrapped around the neck, and the beauty of Second Sister You pressed close to her like a snake. Through the thick pink wedding dress, Lai Shangrong seemed to feel full of love. After drinking a glass of wine, he still refused to separate for a long time.

"Grumble!"

Second Sister You only ate two snacks at noon. Her stomach made an untimely sound and she took the opportunity to bury her head in Lai Shangrong's arms.

"Are you hungry? Let's go, let's eat something first."

Second Sister You nodded shyly, turned around and found that her younger sister was looking at her, nodding her head and lowering her eyebrows, her eyes evasive.

Lai Shangrong acted as if nothing was wrong, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if everyone is gone, our family is still clean. I think it's getting late. Third sister, why don't you go back? My brother-in-law's house is your home. You can stay here as long as you want!"

Third Sister You suddenly smiled brightly and said coquettishly: "Brother-in-law! I want to live in the garden at the back."

"Yeah! You can take your pick in the garden!"
