Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 71 Jin Chuanyou Third Sister

After the tenth day of the first lunar month, the market became lively.

In order to show that they are having fun with the people, the royal family, relatives, and wealthy squires will send out dragon and lion dance teams to walk around the streets singing famous songs while beating gongs and drums.

Lai Shangrong didn't have time to appreciate these. The steam engine was delivered today and he had to go to the site to supervise the installation.

As soon as he went out in the morning, Jin Chuan, the eldest maid of Mrs. Wang, came to Lai's house.

It has been more than a month since Yuchai passed through the house. She often comes to visit, and Wangcai lets her in without even sending a message.

All the way to Eryou's small courtyard in the back garden, I saw the jade bracelet carrying a basin out of the house.

When Yuchuan saw his sister, he ran up to her and said with a smile, "Why are you here, sister?"

"The master will take office the day after tomorrow. My wife asked me to come over and invite Uncle Lai to a banquet at my house tomorrow!"

"Ah! ~ Fifteen? The uncle also said to take my aunt to see the Lantern Festival!"

"When can't we just watch a lantern show? Let me tell you, no outsiders were invited to the house this time. If the master and his wife hadn't valued him, they might not have been able to join in even if they wanted to!"

As he spoke, he pulled the jade bracelet to a corner of the wall where there was no one around, and said, "Don't forget where your roots are when you come here!"

Yuchai said indifferently: "I am just a little maid doing things according to the master's instructions!"

Jin Chuan lowered his voice and said: "What do you know? My wife told me that if you become a member of Uncle Lai's house, my wife will recognize you as a goddaughter. At that time, he will not look up to her and look up to you." Be an aunt?"

Yu Chuan blushed and lowered his head, muttering and complaining: "I have tried all the methods my sister taught me, but I haven't even looked at me seriously, and I was even scolded by my aunt and sister."

Lai Shangrong saw that Yuchai was interested in getting him, and he planned to find an opportunity to take over the house. However, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Zhong came back to class, and he resumed his usual schedule, thinking that it would be too late to do two tricks at night, and he was afraid of being delayed. When I went to the Yamen the next day, I planned to wait until Sister You came to visit relatives before closing the house.

But Yuchuan didn't know it, and just thought it was a waste of love.

Seeing that his sister had no fighting spirit, Jin Chuan said, "You just do what you want. She is an outsider. Why do you care about her? I can tell you that Mr. Yucun from Xinglong Street, his current wife used to support him." The maid of that family was the one who helped her upright after her original wife died. It is said that Uncle Amemura's official position was higher than that of Uncle Lai.

She can be an official's wife. Isn't it difficult for you to just be an aunt?If Uncle Lai hadn't been recommended by him, would he be where he is today?How similar is he to Mr. Yucun?Besides, how can the status of that family be compared to that of the master and his wife? "

Yuchai was asked three times by her sister, which made her blood boil. But thinking of Sister You's domineering appearance, she suddenly lost some of her energy and encouraged her: "Sister said it's so good, why don't you let my wife treat you as well?" Sent here, we sisters Qixin don't have to be afraid of her."

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about?" Jin Chuan spat after listening to his sister's words: "My wife has already told me that in two years when Baoyu is older, I will be asked to serve him there."

Yuchuan looked envious and muttered, "Why doesn't Madam let me go to Baoyu's place?"

Just as she was talking, she saw Third Sister You twisting her waist from the opposite room and walking this way.

"Why are you leaving this sneaky thing so early in the morning?"

Yu Chuan subconsciously wanted to answer, but Jin Chuan stretched out his hand to block him.

"My wife asked me to come to see Uncle Lai for something. Miss You, you are a foreigner. I can't let you know!"

"Hmph!" Sanjie You snorted coldly: "It's hard to tell me that I know there is still my second sister, so why don't you go in and report it?"

Jin Chuan smiled and said: "It's true that Miss You doesn't understand these things. Our wife has ordered that even if Uncle Lai is not around, he must find the mistress of the house. There is no reason to find an aunt."

Sanjie You piled up her sleeves and shouted: "You are such a sharp-tongued girl, why don't I teach you a lesson!"

Jin Chuan was happy and undaunted, and raised her chest and said, "What? Miss You is helping to discipline my sister in this house, and you want to discipline me for my wife?" The two of them were at each other's throats for a while, and Yu Chuan was busy in both directions. Let's talk about it.

Just as he was about to tear her apart, Second Sister You heard the sound and came out. Yu Chuan hurriedly started a fight and reported what happened.

"Auntie, please help and persuade me. Although my sister's words don't sound nice, she is still telling the truth. If this affects the uncle..."

Second Sister You was a little angry at first, but when she heard that it would affect Lai Shangrong, she hurriedly asked Yuchai to send Jinchai out, and at the same time pulled Third Sister You into the house, who was cursing.

The two came to the room, and Sanjie You sat down on the stool.

He said angrily: "What will happen if this little hoof is taught a lesson? Sister, what are you afraid of her for?"

Second Sister You glared at her and said, "If you say a few words without losing a piece of meat, what if it really affects your brother-in-law?"

"Ha!" Third Sister You sneered: "Do you believe her nonsense? If she was really as majestic as she said, would Sister and the others come over to apologize and give money?"

Second Sister You thought that this was indeed the case, but then she thought that Rong Mansion is not Ning Mansion.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. Your brother-in-law also said last time that he was thanks to the recommendation of the second master of Xifu. When I ask, if there is really any problem, he can make up for it in time."

Speaking of this, he said anxiously: "If there is really something, don't make any trouble. When the time comes, ask your brother-in-law to take you to make amends. Don't affect your brother-in-law's future!"

"What! Do you want me to make amends to a girl? If you want to go, I won't go!"

Third Sister You pouted and complained, then got up and left angrily.

In the evening when Lai Shangrong returned home for dinner, Second Sister You found an excuse to send Yu Chuan away and reported the matter to him solemnly.

"Master! Is Third Sister causing trouble for you?"

Looking at the cautious Second Sister You, Lai Shangrong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! That Jin Chuan didn't even understand herself. If she dared to go back and complain, she would have to eat a meal first! But it's hard to refuse someone's invitation. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to the Lantern Festival tomorrow night!”

Because Mrs. Wang sent the jade bracelet, he thought that Jia Zheng told Mrs. Wang the truth, so he dared to be so sure. However, Second Sister You didn't know why, and thought that his man wanted to please even the Duke's government.

His big, watery eyes were suddenly filled with admiration, and soon he was obsessed with Lai Shangrong.

"If you don't want to go, don't go! I have more important things to do!"

Lai Shangrong said with a smile: "You can control her later. It's no big deal if you offend her, but your temper needs to be changed. I'll tell Qingwen later and teach her some needlework to calm her down!"

Make enough food and clothing by yourself!Qingwen refused to do it for her, so she could only take a detour and let Third Sister You learn by herself.

The key point is that she refuses to ask Qingwen to help Sanjie You make cheongsam, but it would be much better if she is asked to learn needlework and is told to temper her temper.

"I still have to teach Qin Zhong a lesson, I'll deal with you later!"

"Just the one from last time or a different taste?"

"Try them all first before talking!"

"Hey!"
