Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 249 Dispatch
Lai Shangrong didn't know that the You family wanted a tidy family.

He had lunch with Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu sent him to the courtyard gate.

Lai Shangrong turned around and said, "It's noon and the sun is too hot. It doesn't matter that I have rough skin and thick flesh. Don't let my sister get exposed to the sun."

Lin Daiyu raised her slender hands to cover the scorching sun above her head, pursed her lips, and hesitated to speak. After all, she did not say anything to avoid leaving for a while.

"Then... I'll ask Zicuckoo to bring an umbrella!"

"I'm used to being in the sun. It doesn't matter. You'd better go back quickly to avoid getting tanned!"

Lai Shangrong is not used to acting like a little daughter.

After leaving the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I only walked a few steps when I heard a menacing shout from the edge of the bamboo forest: "Second Master! Miss Lin is probably taking a lunch break at this moment. If you go over, don't you disturb her rest."

Jia Baoyu?Could it be that he heard about the marriage?

Lai Shangrong stopped to look forward, and sure enough, Jia Baoyu and Xiren appeared in front of the winding path.

The two of them were also stunned when they saw Lai Shangrong.

"Lai...Uncle Lai!"

Xiren was worried. The last time Lai Shangrong threatened her with a red sweat scarf, she had been worried for a while. There had been no news for more than a month. She just hoped that he would forget and fool him.

What a coincidence, I was entrusted by Baochai and wanted to stop Baoyu, but unexpectedly I bumped into him.

"Brother Lai... Brother Lai, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to see Sister Lin." He said, stopping in the middle of the road.

Since Jia Baoyu asked why he was here, he naturally thought wrong and knew that he did not know about the marriage.

Since Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang were hiding the truth from him, Lai Shangrong would not reveal it redundantly and deliberately expose it to avoid further trouble. After all, it was just an engagement now and the marriage certificate had not been issued yet, but he did not intend to let it go.

"Sister Lin has already rested, Brother Bao better not go!"

"But...didn't you just come out?"

"If I hadn't just come out, how would I know that Sister Lin was resting?"

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was about to bypass him, Lai Shangrong stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I heard that Brother Bao cherishes the beauty of the girl and even has a saying to describe the girl's family. I don't know if it is true or not."

Not wanting to expose the engagement or letting Baoyu pass, Lai Shangrong could only take a roundabout route.

"What are you talking about?" Jia Baoyu suddenly felt dissatisfied when he heard him questioning himself and whether what he said about the girl's family was true.

Lai Shangrong said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Bao often said that before a girl gets married, she is a priceless pearl. Once she gets married, she will develop many bad problems for some reason. Although it is a pearl, it has no luster and color. It’s a dead pearl, I don’t know if it is or not?”

"That's natural! Is there anything wrong?" Jia Baoyu said with her chest raised.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't the girl that brother Bao marry in the future also lose her luster and become a dead pearl?"

"This..." Baoyu was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he seemed to be thinking hard.

He actually doesn't think that all girls who get married have lost their luster. Otherwise, wouldn't Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing be married?

It's just that he is a typical double standard, the so-called appearance is justice.

Of course, when the beauty is old, he may not put forward this theory again, so as to find a reasonable reason for his dislike.

However, if he had to face his heart, that would undoubtedly be unacceptable.

Unable to justify himself and unwilling to admit hypocrisy, he could only use the Jia family's ancestral secret skill - escape.

While turning around, he murmured: "Yes! Yes! What if Sister Lin and Sister Bao also become dead beads..."

"Second Master!"

Seeing Baoyu leaving without warning, Xiren was just about to catch up.

I heard Lai Shangrong's deep voice coming from behind: "Aunt Hua, please don't disturb Brother Bao. Let him calm down first."

After watching Baoyu disappear on the forest path, I didn't dare to catch up.

"Sir...what's your mission, sir?"

Lai Shangrong chuckled: "The word "mission" is used well. Aunt Hua seems to know what she is doing! Keep up!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the northwest corner, towards Liao Ting Huashu, without looking back.

It was a hot summer day, not to mention there was no one on the road. Apart from the cries of cicadas, it was almost silent.

All the way to the rockery on the slope of Liao Ting Hua Shu.He loosened the belt around his waist, turned around and smiled at the attacker who was following him: "Aunt Hua, let me see how Brother Bao sends you!"

…………

"Amitabha! Is what sister said true?"

In the Hall of Rongxi, Mrs. Wang glanced at her younger sister, who was holding Xizi's heart in her arms. She saw the two round balls that were not falling. They didn't seem to be on the verge of falling. She secretly thought, "They're not a few years apart, so what's the difference?" So big.

"The engagement has already been made, how can I still deceive you!"

"No, no, no! How could it be possible? Didn't I not expect that..." The topic changed and he asked: "Girl Lin didn't ask for mercy from the old lady?"

A trace of doubt appeared on Mrs. Wang's face, which was quickly covered up by a warm smile.

"It's strange to say that Lin Yatou not only didn't plead with the old lady, but she seems to have recognized the meaning."

Aunt Xue's face lit up when she heard this, and she said with relief: "That's really Amitabha. I finally got some good news in the past two months."

He paused for a moment and then said: "Is it...that it's a private life-long decision?"

She was still holding on to her old mentality and put eye drops on Lin Daiyu.

However, times have changed, and even if the two of them decide to be private for life, Mrs. Wang is still happy to see it happen.

Moreover, because Lai Shangrong was involved, Mrs. Wang was wary, fearing that she would be overheard and spread to Lai Shangrong's ears, causing backlash.

"Hush! What are you talking about? Thanks to Shang Rong this time!"

Mrs. Wang looked around hurriedly.

Then he turned around and sighed: "Same for you, why didn't you ask me about this first? Wenlong and Shangrong already have a close relationship. Even if they want to buy shares, why don't they ask for it instead of worshiping those who can't be beaten? ? Not only did you lose money, but you still caused such a thing."

Aunt Xue's face showed some resentment, and she considered: "Baoyu had just been beaten by his brother-in-law. I was not afraid of embarrassing my sister, so I didn't mention it to you. I thought that since Shang Rong agreed to Dongfu, I would avoid embarrassing him. At that time, it was all right, but who would have thought that the house would be ransacked."

The warmth on Mrs. Wang's face turned into strong indignation.

"They deserve it! They bully men and dominate women in order to gain wealth and kill themselves. They just want to commit suicide. They almost harmed our family and my mother-in-law!"

These words were spoken so urgently and quickly that for a moment he was huffing and panting, and he was actually trembling.

"What? Could it be that it's still involved?"

Aunt Xue took it for granted that Jia She was also involved, and pointed across the courtyard to the east.

Speaking of implicating Yuanchun, I have to say that I urged Lai Shangrong to move into the East Mansion. Mrs. Wang didn't want to say more, so she quickly changed the subject and said: "Stop talking about those bad things, what's going on with Wenlong? You can get it back ?”

Aunt Xue was also worried. When she heard Mrs. Wang's question, she immediately sighed: "Oh! I was also worried about this matter. He had been gone for a month and I don't know if I can catch him. He hasn't caught up yet." When the news comes back, I just hope that when he gets there, he just plays and forgets about the business."

"It's not a big deal if you want me to tell you. Those shops will be closed after they are closed. Now that Shang Rong's marriage has been decided, you have less worries. When Wen Long comes back, ask him to ask and let him give his advice. "

When the Xue family was about to move out, the two sisters had a frank talk. Mrs. Wang was aware of the rumors that Aunt Xue had let her out. Zhang Guanli put it on Lai Shangrong's head and was well aware of her concerns.

If they hadn't spread the news themselves, they might not have chosen to stay far away, and they would have been cheated by Jia Zhen, and they wouldn't have sold off the store in the south, so they made this proposal.

Firstly, it hinted that Aunt Xue would not think too much about it, and secondly, it was to make up for her mistakes.

Aunt Xue also heard what Mrs. Wang meant, but she knew Xue Pan's character very well. Before leaving, she had made a fuss over a misunderstanding about Lai Shangrong. Now if she knew that he wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, let alone ask for advice, she would be too embarrassed to see her. he.

"Alas! Wenlong is an honest boy. When he heard about Shang Rong and the second girl last time, he made a fuss with me and told me that we had wronged Shang Rong. How could he have the nerve to ask him for advice."

"Hey! Wenlong is confused, aren't you confused too? Isn't there Bao Yatou?"

"Ah!~" Aunt Xue exclaimed, and said in amazement: "Baby girl is so clear..."

Mrs. Wang knew that her sister would be wrong, so she hurriedly explained: "I mean, let Bao Yatou go find Lin Yatou."

"Snapped!"

Aunt Xue clapped her palms together and exclaimed: "My sister still has a way, why didn't I think of it!"

"It's better not to be too deliberate about this, baby girl should understand!"

"Hey! What my sister said is true. I'll tell Bao Yatou to go!"

"go Go!"

"Hey!"

Aunt Xue agreed, got up from the kang, and then left Rongxi Hall without shaking her shoulders.
