Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Stand guard 121
When Lai Shangrong returned home, he saw Yuanyang waiting in the hall.

"How did you come?"

While talking, he took Yuanyang and went straight to the west wing.

Yuanyang blushed and glanced secretly into the courtyard, saying in a low voice: "The old lady asked me to invite you over. I'm waiting for you right now!"

"Why are you so anxious? Just tell me later that I came back late!"

He and Ping'er had used this operation several times and were already familiar with it.

At the same time as the two entered the West Wing, Second Sister You came to the courtyard. She had finished her younger sister's ideological work in the morning, and was anxious to come to ask Lai Shangrong for credit.

He turned around and said, "Strange! It's not like the uncle is back, why can't he see anyone?"

Just when he was wondering, he heard the melancholy voice from the wing room, accompanied by the voice of Lai Shangrong talking with others.

When I got close to the window, I heard someone begging for mercy from inside: "Uncle...Uncle! The old lady is still waiting!"

"It doesn't matter. I just want to go back later. Just say that I'm late. It's too late and it's not convenient to go there. I'll take a rest tomorrow and go back!"

Originally, Second Sister You only thought that Lai Shangrong was cheating on the maid in front of Grandma Lai, and she also thought that since the uncle likes her, he would like to find out who it is, and find a way to get her to her side to help Gu Chong.

But listening to what Lai Shangrong said was late and inconvenient, it seemed that she was not her own maid.

Could it be from the Duke's Mansion across the street?

As if confirming her guess, she added: "After all, the old lady was born in a historian. Although she often complained about the unworthy of the two marquises, but...but she is her nephew after all. If the lord...has any difficulties, it should be earlier. Just go to the old lady and explain it clearly!"

Yuanyang is also concerned and confused. Although Jia Mu promised to let her come to Lai's house in a year and a half, it was only a verbal promise after all. If Jia Mu was dissatisfied with this matter, it might not happen again.

Lai Shangrong did not understand Yuanyang's difficulties. He just thought that he was not strong enough, so he had to find another way.

Second Sister You outside the window only heard a horrified voice inside: "Uncle...Uncle! How could this happen!"

Soon, only the sound of sobbing was left.

Second Sister You guessed what was going on inside, and knew that she would never hear any useful information.

Because he didn't know who was inside, and he had a warning from the leak of the jade bracelet last time, he guessed who was in the house and went to the courtyard gate to guard Lai Shangrong.

I sent Qingwen and Xiangling away twice in the process. It wasn't until my legs became sore that I finally saw Lai Shangrong leading someone out.

Seeing Yuanyang's attire, I knew that my previous guess was wrong, which didn't stop me from claiming credit with Lai Shangrong.

"Don't worry, sir! I've been guarding the courtyard door and never let anyone in!"

Her opening and closing operations made her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She and the uncle... let the serious aunt at home guard the door...

Although I was ashamed, I was also grateful to Sister You.

The so-called reputation is not justified. After all, she has not entered Lai's house yet. If someone sees her, she will inevitably talk behind her back.

He bowed slightly to Second Sister You and ran away as if in despair.

Lai Shangrong also didn't expect Sister You to be so well-behaved. He nodded approvingly and said a little distressed: "Don't tire yourself, it's okay. The old lady of Xifu promised to let her come to our house in a year and a half!" "

"Oh!" Sister You agreed blankly.

Because Lai Shangrong did not explain the order of priority, Sister You only thought that he had stolen the mandarin duck first and Jia Mu found out, so she was forced to give him away.

He was even more disdainful towards the Duke of Guo who had been humiliated in front of Lai Shangrong. In his heart, Uncle Lai was a little taller, and he was a little more proud of his original vision.Looking back at the beginning, the eldest sister looked down upon Lai Shangrong in every possible way, and the younger sister only held the position of the head wife. If she didn't have a unique vision, how could the family have enough food and clothing?
Thinking of this, I don't want to see my sister go astray.

Originally, Sanjie You said in the morning that the two sisters couldn't exchange for a real wife. She still agreed with it, but at this time, she felt worried.

However, for the brave and the timid, at least try to know.

"Master! Third sister fell in love with the dressing mirror this morning..."

"Since she likes to come back, just give her a piece of it. Am I so unbearable in your eyes?" It turned out that he really wanted to use the tried and tested method to take advantage of Third Sister You. After listening to what Second Sister You said, But he said without hesitation.

He did love and pity the second sister You, and he also had some thoughts about the third sister You, but the position of his head wife was not negotiable no matter what.

There is a saying that good women prosper for three generations, and shrews ruin the family. Although the second sister You and the third sister You are not shrews, they are not good women.

Especially in ancient times, the aunt-in-law had the responsibility of educating her children and taking care of the house. Neither of these two sisters could trust him to leave his children and his wife's house to them.

But Second Sister You was so sincere that she wanted to please herself. She couldn't say hurtful words, so she could only put on a show.

"Uncle, I misunderstood! I just know that I treat us very well, and I am afraid that my third sister will be misunderstood for her whole life, so that's why I raised this issue with her!"

Lai Shangrong waved his hands again and again and said: "I'm not afraid of it, the uncle will help to pay attention later, and I will find a good family for her after all!"

Ideas will always change. In the past, Lai Shangrong let Sister You live at home because he was afraid that she would run away.

Now, with the expansion of the back house, that thought has gradually become dispensable, let alone the position of a head wife.

Besides, Second Sister You is so sensible, he doesn't want to hurt her heart by talking too directly.

Therefore, I made up my mind to stay away from Third Sister You from now on, and I must not give her extravagant hopes, which would lead to a bad ending.

Second Sister You didn't expect this result, so she hesitated and said: "Then... I am..."

Lai Shangrong looked at Sister You with a sincere face and said, "If she lacks something, it's just for your sake, why don't you try to be satisfied?"

Sister You was extremely moved after hearing this. She hugged Lai Shangrong, buried her head in his chest, and choked with sobs: "Uncle!~"

Lai Shangrong patted her pink back and comforted her: "Okay! Are you hungry? Let's go eat first!"

"Hey!"

Xu knew that Lai Shangrong consumed a lot, so Second Sister You kept putting vegetables into his bowl during meals.

"You go back and wash up first, and I will come over after explaining some business to Xiangling and the others!"

After coaxing Second Sister You away, Lai Shangrong gave Xiangling a few emphatically words before wandering towards Second Sister You's yard.

He didn't go with Yuanyang, not because she guessed there was any difficulty.

On the contrary, Jia Lian only got 2000 taels, which was beyond his expectation.If the Jia family's shares are too small, people who don't know why will think that he deliberately treated the old owner harshly.

It was not easy for Rongfu to buy shares in two batches, and he didn't want to give Jia Zhen an advantage.

The Shijia's intervention gave him another idea. After all, the Shijia was Jia Mu's natal family, and he was given some shares in the Shijia. Outsiders would only think that he had received Jia Mu's instructions.

It's just that following the mandarin duck there like this, it always seems a bit awkward to deliver the dressing mirror tomorrow.

But Xiangling was a little dull, and she felt uneasy if she didn't explain a few words. She couldn't deliberately avoid the mandarin ducks, so she could only make random excuses.
