Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 126 Exercises
When Lai Shangrong outlined a beautiful blueprint for the rubber industry to Sister Feng.

A carriage stopped outside the side door of the east corridor of Ning Mansion.

"Master Qin!"

The person who came was none other than Qin Ye. As an old man in his seventies and Qin Keqing's adoptive father, there was no need to avoid suspicion.

The woman who was guarding the door welcomed her into the courtyard.

When they arrived at the main hall, Qin Keqing had already received the news and came out.

"Why is Daddy here?"

Although from the few words of the adopted daughter, it can be heard that she has no dislike for Lai Shangrong, and even has a bit of admiration.

But after all, she was transformed from the young mistress of the Duke's palace to the concubine of a sixth-grade official. She had to tell her in advance, otherwise if she got rebellious and angered Qin Zhong, it would be a bad thing.

They retreated to the left and right, leaving only two maids, Baozhu and Ruizhu, who were dowry.

"My father has thought about it, and it is not an option for you to continue like this. Now that my father is still here, Jia Zhen still has concerns. If there is something wrong, keeping you in this wolf's den is not a long-term solution!"

Qin Keqing frowned and said tremblingly: "What's wrong with my father? Can I call a doctor?"

Qin Ye shook his head and said, "Although my health is fine, my father is over 70 years old after all. How can I not think about my death in advance?"

When Qin Keqing heard that Qin Ye was not ill, he took a long breath and said, "I'll be fine if my father is fine. He'll be here for ten or eight years..."

Qin Ye waved his hand and said: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the worst. Your brother relies on your nephew to take care of him, and he's hopeful for the imperial examination. Even if I leave, you don't need to worry too much. It's just that I really can't worry about being here. My father plans to go find Jia Zhen." , ask Jia Rong to give you a divorce note and let you escape from this wolf den!"

"Really...really?"

"Of course it's true! It's just that although you will be safe for a while when you go home, if something happens to your father, I'm afraid Jia Zhen will still be evil. After thinking about it, only nephew Lai Xian can trust him!"

Qin Keqing tremblingly said: "Ah!~ Uncle Lai? What does Daddy mean?"

"Although the divorce letter can save you for a while, it can't save you forever. Who is willing to marry you as a wife? Even if you get married, you may not be able to withstand the persecution of Ningguo Mansion. Only nephew Lai Xian can marry you once he comes. Your brother has a master-disciple relationship. Secondly, he was not well-known at the time, so he was able to withstand Jia Zhen's pressure and save you once. Now that he has developed glass and won the trust of the Holy One, his future future is limitless, even Jia Zhen's. Don’t you dare to think about it again.”

Qin Ye's words are mostly flattering to Lai Shangrong. After all, from this glass reward, it is not clear that the emperor cares for Lai Shangrong.

But he was obviously unnecessary. Qin Keqing didn't care about power, but more about his determination to protect her.

After listening to Qin Ye's words, the figure of Lai Shangrong on the Lantern Festival night couldn't help but come to mind, and then he thought of the scene of being kneaded by himself. He only felt that a pair of lotus feet were as numb as the bites of thousands of ants.

Thinking about Lai Shangrong's lost scene, I thought that if I really became his concubine, I would love him in every possible way!

But he said: "My daughter Pu Liuzhi, and...Uncle Lai..."

Qin Ye only regarded her as a refusal and said without waiting for her to finish: "I have already discussed it with Nephew Lai Xian, and he has no intention of disliking you."

"Ah!~"

Qin Keqing exclaimed, lowering her head shyly, her brows showing panic.

After a long while, he hesitated and said: "It's all up to daddy!"

Qin Ye's goal was achieved, and soon Liu immediately went to Ning Mansion.

"You all have given up on me, and she will never be able to escape my control in this life! If you persuade her to change her mind as soon as possible, there may be some benefits, otherwise..."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Ye came out of Ning Mansion, shaking his head helplessly.I originally thought that the Ning Mansion had no real needs. Jia Zhen was willing to marry You for money. Now that she has the long-term income of glass shares, it should not be difficult to persuade her. Unexpectedly, she became angry and even uttered evil words.

Qin Keqing's side was fine, and if nothing was done, it would be delayed temporarily, but Lai Shangrong's side couldn't keep it secret even if he didn't apply for Ning Mansion's shares.

Lai Shangrong didn't know that Qin Ye came back disappointed, but he had seen the Red Mansion and Jia Zhen's distraught when Qin Keqing died. .

However, he was also full of disappointment at this time and left Sister Feng's yard.

It was late at night and he had just left. Sister Feng ran out at this time, which would inevitably arouse suspicion. The rope could only be left for later.

Because she knew about Lai Shangrong and Ping'er's affair, she originally wanted to take the lead in everything, but now Lai Shangrong actually let Ping'er become her sister. How could Sister Feng's character be so willing, so she deliberately refused to let Ping'er give him a gift.

The rubber business has been clearly explained. Rubber will be imported from the south through the Wang family's channels on the southeast coast. Rubber will be stocked in batches and shipped to the capital. When Lai Shangrong is ready, he will buy it at the market price.

It is actually not difficult to earn the price difference from the middlemen. With the reputation of glass, as long as the news is spread, the price of rubber will inevitably rise.

Of course, he would truthfully report this line to the emperor, but it would have to be modified. Rubber was hard to come by in the Great Xia Dynasty, so the emperor only had to send someone to inquire. For the sake of the rubber industry, he relied on the relationship between the Wang family and maritime merchants, which was a reasonable excuse. , and then gave the emperor advice by the way, asking Uncle Tian Guo to follow in the rubber speculation. When the emperor eats, he will drink soup along with him, and he is not afraid of leaving any traces behind.

Just as I was thinking about how to modify the secret fold, I heard someone calling in a low voice as soon as I reached the door of the small courtyard in the northeast corner.

"Uncle! Uncle Lai!"

I saw Su Yunzhen lying on the hanging flower door, waving to him outside.

Lai Shangrong took a closer look: "Suyun?"

Suyun said hurriedly: "Uncle! Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Then without waiting for Lai Shangrong to ask, Suyun said like she was pouring out a bamboo tube: "When grandma was returning home in the morning and dusk, she saw the uncle entering the second grandma's yard. She figured that the uncle would not talk for too long even if she had something to do, so she brought the slave over. Wait for me, sir!"

"Well! Wan'er is in there?"

Lai Shangrong couldn't wait to step inside.

He had watched many instructional videos on the binding technique in his previous life, but had never had the opportunity to practice it. Li Wan was much plumper and more docile than Sister Feng, so he was a good candidate to learn and improve with her.

Suyun obviously didn't guess what he was thinking, so she hurried to follow him and couldn't help but said: "Well! The slave said that the uncle is not that kind of person. Grandma was worried that the uncle had a beautiful new concubine, so she didn't want to It’s time to take another risk!”

"how could be!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, the plump body in the room threw herself into her arms.

"Master!"

Ever since he said he would treat Jia Lan as his son, Li Wan changed his tune. This was another kind of role playing, and Lai Shangrong would certainly not refuse.

"Wan'er!"

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Lai Shangrong looked at it and said: "My husband just learned a craft recently..."

"Ah!~ Husband, has Wan'er done something wrong? Are you trying to enforce family law on the slave family?"

"Jie Jie Jie! I heard that you dare to suspect that your husband loves the new and hates the old..."
