Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 177 What's the Misunderstanding?
Rongfu, small courtyard in the northeast corner.

"My son! Why are you here?"

Seeing Baochai coming in, Aunt Xue, who was lying on the couch, hurriedly got up from the couch, grabbed a blanket and put it on her body, half covering her plump body.

Baochai sat down on the couch and said with a smile: "The old lady asked Brother Lai to take me back. My daughter can only use this excuse to talk to her mother!"

As he spoke, he glanced at his mother's chest and saw the two lumps of white greasy hair that were about to come out. He couldn't help but admire that even though he and his brother were already so big, his mother still took good care of them.

Just when I was thinking about whether I had something or not, I was hugged by Aunt Xue and buried under two hills.

He patted Baochai on the pink back and said happily: "Thanks to your cleverness, I'm afraid the old lady will have something to do with this!"

Baochai was so suffocated that she quickly pushed her mother away and complained: "My daughter is here now, my mother should at least wear some outer clothes!"

Then he added: "The eldest madam's niece is here today. I think the eldest madam's intention is to bring her and Brother Lai together!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Aunt Xue forgot about Baochai's complaints and immediately asked, "What was Lai Shangrong's reaction?"

Baochai recalled for a moment and said: "I didn't see it, but he looked very warm. If Baoyu hadn't interrupted, maybe I could have seen it a little bit. But he said he wanted to send a mirror and soap!"

Aunt Xue raised her hand and patted her chest, causing waves of shock.

"Amitabha! If the eldest lady can really agree on this marriage, thank God!"

Then he added: "More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and your brother also came back and said that there was no news outside. Are you thinking that we are overthinking it?"

Baochai was in a trance after what she said. Thinking that Daiyu had been cold and indifferent to Baoyu recently, she couldn't help but rub the golden lock on her chest.

"But the old lady still asked Brother Lai to send his daughter off today..."

Aunt Xue analyzed: "You also know that your brother has always been a person who listens to the wind and rain. He may not have heard the wrong thing last time. Didn't he also say that your aunt is coming to ask us? After so long, the wind outside has disappeared. She didn’t mention it to me, so I guess she suppressed the rumor.”

Baochai nodded and said: "What mom said is not unreasonable, but if it wasn't my aunt, it would have been done by the old lady or the Lai family. If they really brought it to the table, my aunt might not be able to screw it up then." If we can't beat the old lady, we still have to be on guard!"

"Alas!" Aunt Xue sighed: "But your brother said that the Feng family brother has been busy preparing for the hunt in Iron Mt. and said that it will take a while before we can see him!"

"That's good. We can observe more and let my daughter find out what Sister Xing means later!"

"Well! Don't be careless on either end, take a look first and then talk!"

Ningfu.

Youshi had just finished washing and was getting ready to go to bed.

I saw Jia Zhen push the door in, reeking of alcohol.

Suddenly, I felt happy, secretly wondering, could it be that I finally got through it?
He said in a loud voice, "Why are you here, Master!"

As he spoke, he leaned his soft and tender body towards Jia Zhen.

Before he even got close, Jia Zhen glared back.

Jia Zhen asked, "Why are you back? Is the matter settled?"

Youshi was suddenly speechless and hesitantly said: "My brother-in-law said that this time the big man next door is also thinking about taking a share, and we have to wait for news from the other side."

"Bullshit!" Jia Zhen said angrily: "You also know that he is your brother-in-law, but you don't have any face at all? The man next door is not related to him, so why do you want us to wait for news about him?"

Youshi hurriedly laughed and said: "After all, his family was released by the Xifu, so he has to..."

Before she could finish her words, Jia Zhen interrupted impatiently: "Last year, the Shi family brothers were able to invest in shares together, so why can't our Jia family? Besides, I told him during the Chinese New Year and he agreed to help, shouldn't I?" Are you putting on a show there and making people unhappy?"

"How...how could it be possible?" Youshi explained hurriedly: "My master has told me to lower my body, so how can I show off? Besides, if I make them unhappy, how can I live here for so many days?" Jia Zhen thought about it. , I understand that Youshi did not dare to disobey her orders, and she has been here for seven or eight days.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked back at Youshi and said, "Did you just break up with me over there?"

"How could it be?" You Shi hurriedly lowered his head, blushing, and said: "I've lived here for seven or eight days, it's not unreasonable to live like this all the time!"

In fact, she doesn't mind living in the Lai family, after all, she is a nominal person in the Ning Mansion, but Sister You has become more and more unscrupulous recently.

She had known that this sister had a bold style in the past, but she had never thought that she could be so bold.

In front of him, he broke apart the length, thickness, and even private love affairs one by one, crushed them into pieces, added jealousy, exaggerated them, and poured them into his ears.

And under the guise of not saying anything between sisters, it’s really...

After all, she had not known the smell of meat for more than a year and her body had been exhausted for a long time. How could she withstand Sister You's teasing? But today she saw something she shouldn't have seen. When she thought of that body of tendon meat, she couldn't help but feel a fever on her face and in her heart. …

Since she was staying in the Lai family in the name of sisters, she couldn't live in the guest room openly. After all, the Ning Mansion was only one step away from the Lai family.

Therefore, she slept with Second Sister You when her room was vacant, and when Lai Shangrong stayed over, she stayed in Third Sister You's room.

But in the past, when I lived alone, I could secretly talk to comfort myself. How could I do those things when I lived with my sister? Today, I couldn't help myself, so I thought about going home...

She was thinking about things she shouldn't be thinking, lowering her head and her face was hot. Jia Zhen only took it seriously and scolded her: "What's so weird about my sister's house? How long have you lived with the aunt next door? You Where are you now? If you don’t have a ride, go back quickly!”

Youshi tentatively said: "Master! It's too late now, why don't we go tomorrow?"

Jia Zhen shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? It's only when you go at night that you look close!"

Seeing Jia Zhen's insistence, Youshi had no choice but to call Yindie and pack her bags again.

Arriving at the front door of Lai's house, the master and servant hesitated, both feeling that it was unseemly to come to the door at such a late night.

Suddenly, only Lai Shangrong's voice came from behind him.

"Why is eldest sister standing at the door and not going in?"

Youshi was startled by the sudden sound, turned her head and saw Lai Shangrong walking towards her.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "Go back...I can't sleep when I go back, so come over and talk to my sister!"

Lai Shangrong happened to have to tell Qingwen to bring a dressing mirror and soap to Xing Xiuyan tomorrow, but Lai Shangrong was too lazy to bother with both.

So he smiled and said: "Then I will go back to the house to sleep at night. Sister, go over and say something for me!"

As he spoke, he walked up to Youshi and raised his hand to invite her in.

Because the two of them were so close, Youshi felt a man's breath coming towards her face.

wrong!

There was also a bit of arrogance in it, and he was immediately frightened and ran away.

Lai Shangrong had just spent an hour studying the periodic table of elements with Li Wan in the rockery. Although the smell had dissipated a lot on the way back, it was still strong and pungent to You, who had been in the open for a long time.

However, he also couldn't detect the smell on his body, so he looked at the overripe peaches passing by in front of his eyes for no apparent reason.

I couldn't help praising Jia Zhen for being so big-hearted that he could let his wife live in his home openly.

Did he, Jia Zhen, have any misunderstandings about Uncle Lai?
