Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 113

The sky was long in May, and when Lai Shangrong returned home, the sky had not yet completely darkened.

When he saw Ping'er, he was overjoyed. Ping'er must have been sent by Wang Xifeng. He was in a hurry to find him for two days in a row. Of course, he was impatient.

Just about to take Ping'er to the backyard.

Ping'er hurriedly flung it off, looked around and said: "Master! Grandma is really in a hurry this time, she said that the maidservant can't take you back and there is no need to go back!"

Knowing that Ping'er was afraid of being seen, he stopped forcing himself and said with a smile, "Isn't that just right?"

Ping'er glanced at him and said, "It would be great if we really don't have to go back! The slave deed is still in grandma's hands!"

Lai Shangrong said seriously: "Why are you so anxious?"

Ping'er thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because the two wives of the historian came to see the uncle today!"

Then he repeated the remarks of the two aunts in Xiangyun to Lai Shangrong.

"Hmph!" Lai Shangrong snorted coldly. Shi Nai and Shi Ding were quite shameless. I had kindly given them a chance at the beginning, but they were embarrassed, and now they actually had the nerve to come up with such a rhetoric.

But the reason why Wang Xifeng was so anxious was probably because he was afraid that there would be too many people looking for him and there would be no soup left if it was too late.

After hearing what King Zhongshun said today, I thought that the emperor wanted to divide the four princes and eight princes. In this case, it should not matter if he gives some shares to the Jia family. After all, outsiders feel that they are favored by the Jia family. If they don't show any kindness, it will not be good for their reputation. Not good.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Then go and see what my sister-in-law has ordered!"

Follow Ping'er all the way to Sister Feng's courtyard.

Because he couldn't tell whether Jia Lian was at home, he didn't go into the house to avoid suspicion, so he asked Ping'er to pass the news first.

a while.

Ping'er walked out with a strange expression and led him to the back room.

Arriving inside the house, Lai Shangrong finally knew why Ping'er looked weird.

Sister Feng had obviously just taken a shower, her face was rosy, and her hair was still rolled up casually, with two drops of water dripping from time to time.

It was May and the weather was getting warmer. She had just taken a bath. She was only wearing one piece on her upper body, a lavender orchid embroidered cardigan, revealing a touch of white collarbone. Her lower body was covered with an emerald floral crepe skirt. The slender waist is slightly tied to outline a enchanting look.

At this time, he was lying on a wicker chair in the room with his legs crossed, one lotus foot jumping up and down, holding a saucer in one hand, and a tea cup in the other. He pursed his lips and blew lightly into the cup, then pursed his lips again. He took a sip and savored it carefully.

Seeing this scene, Lai Shangrong's heart was filled with excitement.

"Ping'er! You go and guard outside first!"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Lai Shangrong and said hesitantly: "Don't be too far away. I might call you later!"

Lai Shangrong secretly thought that something was going on, and then he calmed down.

"I don't know why my sister-in-law asked me to come here for something important?"

Sister Feng sneered and said, "You and Mr. Lian are in the same boat. They are plotting against me, a weak woman, but you still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong!"

Lai Shangrong secretly wondered if she knew about it?But Ping'er didn't give any warning!

So he said calmly: "How have I ever plotted against my sister-in-law with my second brother Lian?"

Sister Feng glanced at him and said: "Last month, I asked Ping'er to remind you to beware of them colluding with corrupt officials' money, but you turned a blind eye. Do you think I should tell my wife or not?"

Although Wang Xifeng has a fierce personality, she is very conservative at heart. Even though Jia Lian chilled her heart, she was still unwilling to take advantage of him. When she was taking a bath, she suddenly thought of the task of making gold and silver vessels, so she wanted to test it out. If it could be the best, If it doesn’t work, it’s not too late to look again.

It's a pity that she made the wrong decision. Lai Shangrong has now found a hiding place. He has no need to do the errands in the Grand View Garden. Besides, he thought that Jia Zheng told Mrs. Wang the reason for the title of concubine, and he didn't believe that she did it for such a trivial matter. Break the skin.

Then he smiled and said: "You can't blame me! I told my sister-in-law about my difficulties. Besides, my sister-in-law only said to be on guard against Dongfu at that time and did not mention the eldest master."

Seeing that the plan didn't work, Sister Feng didn't bother to pretend anymore, and sneered: "Don't pretend to me, Second Master Lian never told you what Dongfu promised him? If you do this, you might as well let him take over Dongfu Chunliu! Now that the eldest master has given me Qiutong, I can’t even chase him away. Please tell me how to compensate me!”

Lai Shangrong cried out, "You're wronged, sister-in-law! I only thought about my sister-in-law, and I did bad things with good intentions!" Sister Feng chuckled softly: "Men are so deceitful! Years ago, you came to my house to deliver soap, and you said there was a business opportunity. Thinking of my sister-in-law, I didn’t even come when I was waiting for you, I asked Ping’er to invite her, and she still pushed back and forth with me. It shows that you men don’t tell the truth.”

Lai Shangrong tentatively said, "Even thinking about it, I'm afraid that Brother Lian will be jealous!"

Sister Feng said pitifully: "Which of you men will fall in love with each other? He just accepted Qiu Tong, how can he have time to take care of me, a yellow-faced woman?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the conversation between Jia Lian and Qiu Tong in the study outside. He gritted his teeth and said, "He has moved to the study outside now. He just wishes I had died earlier so that Qiu Tong could be straightened up!"

Ok?
Hate because of love?

Lai Shangrong said knowingly: "Brother Lian is really blind! My sister-in-law is nothing but a yellow-faced woman. If you ask me, even a hundred Qiutongs can't compare to my sister-in-law!"

Sister Feng said disdainfully: "You are coaxing me. You can coax a little girl with your lies, but my aunt will not accept your tricks!"

Lai Shangrong immediately patted his chest and said, "How can you not! My heart for my sister-in-law can only be expressed by the sun and the moon. If my sister-in-law says she wants any compensation, as long as she..."

As she spoke, a pair of rogue eyes kept scanning Sister Feng.

I happened to see a strand of wet hair stuck to the mutton-fat jade skin. A drop of nectar originally hanging on it meandered down the tip of the hair and disappeared into the ravine.

Lai Shangrong was salivating at the sight and swallowed unconsciously.

This scene fell into Sister Feng's eyes. She bit her lower lip and gave Lai Shangrong a sideways glance.

He smiled and said, "Sure enough, you are a sensible person. Since he doesn't care about the relationship between husband and wife, then why should I do it for him..."

As he spoke, he handed the saucer and tea cup to Lai Shangrong.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Lai Shangrong still couldn't understand the meaning of her words. He laughed, grabbed the plate and cup, and fumbled twice on Sister Feng's green-white jade fingers. He picked up the tea cup and deliberately pointed it at the position where she had just drank tea. , drank the tea in one gulp.

I left the teacup and saucer behind and just stood up, ready to make a difference.

Then Sister Feng raised her lotus feet and put them against his chest, and said softly: "Brother Lai, why are you so impatient? As long as you give me [-]% of the shares in the glass workshop..."

"One percent?"

Lai Shangrong immediately put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you really dare to speak. The entire glass workshop only requires 3% of the subscribed shares. King Zhongshun, Tian Guoshu and I invested [-] taels in research and development, so we were allocated [-]% of the shares! "

"Then how much do you think you can give?"

"I don't know the specifics. I'll ask the government to go to the Yamen tomorrow to apply. It can't be higher than that of Prince Beijing and Duke Zhenguo!"

"Do you still need to go to the government to apply?"

Sister Feng said and kicked Lai Shangrong back to the stool.

"The shares of this factory can only be subscribed by the DPRK and China. Do you think it is just like a paper-making workshop?"

Wang Xifeng was greatly disappointed after hearing this, and asked whether the money earned by Jia's family would have anything to do with her.

“What about letting me sell the glass you produce?”

"This one has long been decided to belong to Uncle Tian Guo!" Lai Shangrong shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law just wants to make money, why do you have to look for it on the glass?"

"Soap!"

“No soap!”

Although Lai Shangrong wanted to agree, if the shares of the soap were given to Sister Feng, it would be difficult for his family to explain.

"Bah! Believe your nonsense!" Sister Feng spat and shouted, "Ping'er! See you off!"
