Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 152 Burying the thorn
Aunt Zhao was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night.

I ate some lunch in a hazy mood until noon, and just started to feel a little sleepy. However, Jia Huan, who was just finishing school, was playing around in the room and couldn't find a place to stay.

He couldn't help but scolded: "You heartless bastard, haven't you seen that I'm sleepy? Why don't you go and have some fun if you don't want to cool off!"

When Jia Huan left the house angrily, she was confused and didn't know how long she had slept, when she heard the sound of sobbing from inside the house.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Jia Huan sitting in the room, rubbing his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Aunt Zhao worriedly asked: "Where is the kicking nest coming again?"

When he asked again, Jia Huan said, "Sister Tongbao is naughty. Ying'er bullied me and relied on my money. Brother Baoyu kicked me out."

Aunt Zhao spat: "Who told you to go to the high platform? You are a shameless thing! You can't be naughty there? Who told you to run away and ask for trouble!"

As she said this, she secretly wondered in her heart, is this Mrs. Wang's intention to arrange for Baoyu to test the master?

Baochai is her niece, so there is nothing wrong with them connecting together.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case, so he hurriedly scolded Jia Huan not to make a fuss, lest the matter would get exposed to Jia Zheng.

Lying on the bed, I thought to myself, there is a saying, strike first to gain advantage, strike later and suffer disaster. Now that Mrs. Wang is still worried, if she really waits until she takes action...

Now that the master is like this, it is impossible for him to have any more heirs in the future.

Although Huan'er was just a concubine, if he was the only one, how could he still...

Not mentioning what Aunt Zhao was planning, Baoyu, who had driven Jia Huan away, was joking with Baochai.

Suddenly a girl came in and said: "Miss Shi Da is here!"

Baoyu immediately got up and left.

Baochai smiled and said, "Let's go together and take a look at her!"

With that said, he got off the kang and came to Jia Mu's side with Baoyu.I saw Shi Xiangyun laughing loudly and saying hello quickly when he saw the two of them coming.

Seeing the two of them coming hand in hand, Daiyu thought of what the 'one-character master' said the day before yesterday, and felt even more uninterested.

Seeing her sitting alone and feeling unhappy, Baoyu sat next to her and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Daiyu curled her lips and said, "Where did you come from?"

Baoyu didn't notice it at all and said with a smile: "You're from Sister Bao's house!"

Daiyu sneered and said, "I'm telling you, luckily I stumbled there, otherwise it would have flown here long ago."

Baoyu smiled and said: "I just want to be naughty with you and relieve your boredom. But I just said this when I went to his place by chance."

Lin Daiyu said: "What a boring thing! Do you mind my business? I didn't ask you to relieve my boredom. Maybe you will ignore me from now on!"

With that said, he went back to the room in a fit of anger.

Baoyu hurriedly followed and asked: "Are you angry again? Even if I said it wrong, you are still sitting there, joking with others for a while, why should you be sulking yourself!"

Daiyu snorted and said, "I was lectured by others before, but now you are taking care of me!"

Baoyu didn't hear the hint in his words and said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare to care about you, I just can't see you getting in trouble!"

"I ruined my body by doing this. If I die, what does it have to do with you!"

Just as he was talking, Baochai came in and said, "Sister Shi is waiting for you!"

With that said, he took Baoyu and left.

Daiyu felt more and more depressed and cried silently towards the window.

Baochai took Baoyu back to Rongqing Hall, only to find that Lai Shangrong had arrived.

This year, because Rong Mansion was busy organizing the wedding ceremony, the Shi family did not come until after the wedding ceremony.

The Shi family originally only had a bowling age, but after the death of Xiangyun's father, the two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding separated.

Originally, the property was a little rich for maintaining one prince's mansion, but it was divided into two houses, and both were stretched.

I bought a stake in a glass factory last year. Although it only lasted less than half a year, Lai Shangrong paid a lot of dividends. In less than half a year, the capital was almost back.

This is a big investment for both companies.Therefore, the first thing I did when I arrived at Rong Mansion was to ask Mother Jia to invite Lai Shangrong to express my thanks.

Of course, it was also because I had recently heard rumors that the State Administration Bureau was planning to start a rubber business, so I had the idea of ​​​​inquiring about the news.

Seeing Baochai and Baoyu come in together, Lai Shangrong was a little unhappy.

He looked around calmly and said with a smile, "Why isn't Miss Lin here?"

Tanchun smiled and said: "I was here just now, maybe I felt unwell and went back to my room!"

Lai Shangrong confessed to Jia Mu and others, turned to Xiangyun and others, and said with a smile: "Xiang Ling also asked me to say hello to Miss Lin!"

Xiangyun also smiled and said: "Sister Lin, it's true, she ran away just now when I came here, why don't we go together!"

In this way, at the suggestion of Lai Shangrong and Xiangyun, Baochai and Baoyu also followed and returned to the Bisha Cupboard again.

Looking at Daiyu whose tears were still wet, Lai Shangrong smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Lin is unwell, so I came here to have a look."

Then he pretended to sigh: "Xiang Ling has been thinking about you as a master and asked me to say hello to you. Miss Lin is feeling better. You might as well go to my place one day and ask Xiang Ling to take you to relax!"

"Thank you Brother Lai for your kindness. It's just an inconvenience, but it's no longer a problem!"

He knew that Daiyu wouldn't agree even if she didn't leave the house.

He always retaliates, and he dislikes Baoyu. Today he saw that Baoyu and Baochai were entangled, so of course he wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate.

Although he didn't know the reason for Daiyu's tears, it didn't stop him from giving Baoyu eye drops, so he deliberately mentioned Xiangling to remind Daiyu that Baoyu asked for Qingwen and Xiangling years ago.

Baochai, Sanchun and others present knew what happened, but Xiangyun didn't know why.

She wondered: "Since Xiangling thinks about Sister Lin, why doesn't she come over by herself?"

Lai Shangrong thought to himself, the glass shares are really not in vain.

"Oh! She said it's not convenient to come here now!"

After saying this, everyone secretly glanced at Baoyu.

Xiangyun is an outspoken person, and when he saw this, he asked puzzledly: "Why are you all looking at Brother Ai? Could it be related to him?"

"me……"

Baoyu couldn't hide his shame and anger, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak.

Seeing his embarrassment, Daiyu felt soft in her heart and smiled at Xiangyun: "He bites his tongue and loves to talk. He can't even call him 'second' brother. He just 'loves' brother and loves' brother. Come back to play Go." Son, it’s time for you to start making trouble again.”

Shi Xiangyun said: "You sister Lin, it's not good to pick on people. You are better than others in the world, and you don't have to make fun of anyone you see. If you point out a person, if you dare to pick him, I will defeat you."

Daiyu quickly asked who it was.

Xiangyun pushed Baochai out and said: "You can find the shortcomings of Sister Bao. Even if you are good, I am not as good as you. How can she be inferior to you?"

After hearing this, Daiyu glanced at Baochai and sneered: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Sister Bao! How dare I pick her!"

Xiangyun smiled and said: "Of course I can't compare to you in this life. I only wish to have a tongue-biting brother-in-law Lin tomorrow. You are always said to be 'love' and 'evil', and that's what I see now!"

Daiyu said angrily: "You girl Yun, I think you are in a hurry to get married, but you are talking about me!"

After saying that, he breathed into his hand and stepped forward to scratch Xiangyun.

Unexpectedly, Xiangyun stopped laughing after hearing this, turned to Lai Shangrong and said, "I heard from the old lady that Brother Lai came up with the idea. Thank you very much, Brother Lai!"

Lai Shangrong knew that she was talking about the dowry reserved for her in the glass shares.

He smiled and said: "At that time, I was thinking about Miss Lin's loneliness, and He Xiangling was thinking about what to do for her. I felt that you and her were similar, so I said something in front of the old lady!"

They were playing riddles here, Daiyu and others were curious, and it was hard to ask, so he could only ask Xiangyun.

Xiangyun was so careless that he told the story.

Daiyu heard this and pointed out: "Some people compare themselves to those who cherish flowers, but they only talk about it!"
