Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 6 There are so many tricks

Lai Shangrong and Jia Lian came out of the outer study room, exchanged a few words, and then parted ways.

It was already the beginning of the new year (9 o'clock) when I got home. I originally planned to go back to rest, but Lai yelled at me unexpectedly.

"You didn't come out from the old lady's at Youzheng (6 o'clock), why did you wait so long at the second master's?"

I am indeed a great steward, and my control over Rong Mansion is indeed good.

"I just finalized some things, and then I called Second Master Lian over, so the delay was a little longer."

Mother Xu said: "Son! Baoyu is a famous demon king. He refuses to study and only wants to hang out with his daughters. You have always been steady, why are you boasting in front of the old lady this time!"

Lai Da also sighed: "Yes! The foundation of our family is all about the old lady. You can think of going there first to say hello, which is considered thoughtful. It's just that you are still young and don't understand people's hearts. You must know that the most afraid of making random promises is to give people hope. . The old lady didn't expect Baoyu to succeed in studying. After you said this, I'm afraid that her unintentional intentions have become intentional. If something goes wrong, she will only blame you for not teaching her well. How can she blame her own baby's pimples? Then things will change. Something bad happened!”

"Uh……"

The truth is indeed this. What people fear most is not despair, but seeing their hope dashed.

But Lai Shangrong has a God's perspective, but it's hard to explain to them.

I can only comfort him: "Don't worry! Since my son dares to speak, he is sure that it will happen."

Mrs. Xu sighed: "Alas! Originally, we didn't want to tell you this because you had left your nationality at a young age. It's just that if you want to go to the clan school, you won't be involved. In the future, you have to be careful and don't speak too freely. .”

Lai Dadao: "Sometimes what you say is good, but you are afraid that people with ulterior motives will spread it. In recent years, there have been many dowries coming with the Second Wife and Second Grandma Lian. The two aunts and nephews have added sand here and there, and they are no longer monolithic. .”

"Mixed with sand?"

"Isn't that right! Except for Aunt Zhou who gave birth to a wife, the other maids who were married to the second wife were all married in the early years. One of them was Mingyan Niang who was next to Baoyu. Fortunately, Spicy Fengzi was very jealous and brought some of the maids here. Everyone except Ping'er is gone."

Probably because he was afraid that his son would be worried, he added: "But don't worry, we are not vegetarians. We have the support of old ladies above us, and we are the old people who hold important positions. Our general manager, Lin Zhixiao, is in charge of the accounting room, and Wu Xindeng is in charge. As long as we guard the warehouse, even if La Fengzi has 1 tricks, he can't get past us."

Lai Shangrong sneered at his parents' arrangement.

"Oh! I told you earlier, stop getting involved in these things and deregister as soon as possible."

"What do you know! Aren't you already deregistered? Besides, all the food, clothing, and supplies you have spent these years, as well as this yard, are all earned by virtue of my status as a housekeeper!" Lai Da said angrily.

Mrs. Xu glared at Lai Da and shouted: "Why are you telling your child this? Now that he has achieved fame, we really can't embarrass him, so we'd better get out of here as soon as possible! There's a good relationship rumored in the house these days. If it is done for them, things will really change. Even if it is not done, the old lady is too old, and sooner or later she will fall into their hands. It wasn't that you were in love and refused last time, but now Shangrong Use it to suffer that crime!”

"Forget it! Forget it! I can't talk to you, just tell him!" Lai Da said angrily.

"I'll tell you what I said!" Mrs. Xu said, "Shang Rong, just remember to be careful when you talk to everyone. Especially those from the Wang family, Zhou Rui family, He family, Bai family, Lai Wang family, Lai Xi family, Zhang Cai family , Wuxing family, Zheng Hua family."

Lai Shangrong felt his scalp numb as his mother named seven or eight families in succession.

In his previous life, when he was studying in Red Mansion, he only knew that Mrs. Wang was the roommate of Zhou Rui's family, and Ping'er was the maid brought by Wang Xifeng, but he didn't explain the rest.

Although I knew that wealthy families had generous dowries and witnessed the pomp and ceremony of Sister Jia Lianfeng's wedding, I didn't delve into the details.

Occasionally, I would accompany my grandma to Jia Mu's place to pay her respects, but I only cared about the mandarin ducks. Besides, those people didn't know how to show their signs, so I didn't know clearly.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Mrs. Xu thought he was shocked and said hurriedly: "We are not vegetarians. I am telling you this just to remind you. Your father has already made arrangements, and there won't be a grain of sand in the clan school. Don't worry. But there's no guarantee that those young men will take care of them, so just be careful."

Lai Shangrong hurriedly nodded in agreement, thinking that with his father's status as housekeeper, even if he stole one or two maids, he would be able to make a big deal out of trouble.He didn't expect that there were so many pairs of eyes staring at him, which reminded him that he had to be extremely careful in the future when stealing good things.

Leave the east cross courtyard and return to your house in the back garden.

I saw a slender figure with his back facing the door, lying on the Babu bed like a dog, arranging the quilt and feet.

He tiptoed to the bed, and when the beautiful dog was lying on its knees and retreated to the edge of the bed, he raised his hand and caressed her buttocks.

"Ah!~"

Provoking an exclamation of surprise.

Immediately, he crawled to the inside of the bed as if in despair, turned around and complained: "Why are you so crazy again! I just finished tidying up! You can't do it again if you ask me!"

Lai Shangrong smiled evilly and said: "Why are you going to get so excited right now? It's going to be a mess anyway, let me punish you first!"

Although Qingwen's heart is as high as the sky, Lai Shangrong has trained her well. Unlike Baoyu, he does not have so many girls in the house. At least so far, Qingwen is the only caring person. If Baoyu is like him, Qingwen may not be like him. Ordinary people.

Besides, the identity of the people in Qingwen's house has already been determined, so naturally they won't resist.

In the past few years, both of them were young, so he had been enduring it. Chunwei failed the exam a while ago, and Qingwen saw that he was depressed, so she couldn't help but feel warm to the heart, so Lai Shangrong took advantage of the situation and took over the house.

It's just that Qingwen is shy and can't let go, so Lai Shangrong always finds fault with her and uses the excuse that she needs to be punished to do something wrong.

Seeing Qingwen huddled up shyly, Lai Shangrong leaped onto the bed, grabbed her ankles, and pulled her into his arms.

Qingwen trembled and begged for mercy: "Uncle...Uncle, don't do it! Qingwen knows she was wrong!"

"Hehehehe! If admitting your mistake is useful, why do you need a yamen servant? Today, I will pretend to be a yamen servant and give you a good punishment!"

…………

Not to mention how Lai Shangrong tortured Qingwen.

When Jia Lian returned home, Sister Feng rushed to greet her and asked, "Why did the second master call you over at this moment? But what's the matter?"

"Hey! Don't mention it, Lai Da's son is so inconsiderate. He only went to teach at the Clan Academy and has done so many tricks!"

"Oh! So that's what happened. Today he is boasting in front of the old lady that Baoyu will win the imperial examination in three to five years!"

"It's okay for him to just talk nonsense, but the second master still believed his lies. He will get all the benefits, and let me handle the offending errands!"

"What offending errand?"

"Alas! The second master asked me to inform those clan members and ask them to go to Lai's house to screen him! I don't know how the second master thinks who is the master."

"What goes up must come down! Let's just wait and watch the show!"

"It's just that I will have to suffer some complaints tomorrow." At this point, Jia Lian smiled and said, "Today you have to obey my wishes, don't change your appearance and twist your feet!"

After hearing this, Sister Feng laughed and spat at Jia Lian.
