Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 270 Brain Supplement
Lai Shangrong was so busy cleaning out the moths that he forgot about Aunt Zhao's appointment.

But Tanchun was so anxious that he ran to Aunt Zhao's courtyard every now and then.

"Did Auntie ask Huan'er to invite her? It's been more than ten days, why is there no movement at all?"

"Why not? Didn't you listen when I asked Huan'er to invite him? You thought I didn't want him to come..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Zhao had a look of nymphomaniac on her face, obviously recalling Uncle Lai's strengths.

Tan Chun didn't care to pay attention to her strange behavior and asked, "Then why didn't you come for so long? Could it be that he is tired of my aunt?"

"How could it be!" Aunt Zhao seemed quite confident in this regard.

"How did you know that my mother's methods are just as serious as my father's? When she did it, she would stay here with me, let alone him?"

"Then why haven't you seen him come after all these days?"

Aunt Zhao carefully recalled: "He is a foreigner after all. Can he enter this house as soon as he comes? In the past, it was common for him not to come for ten and a half months. Last time, it was even longer than a month!"

But when he saw me, he was so anxious that he didn't look good. How could he be tired of it? I still had many tricks up my sleeve, but I hadn't exposed them at all! "

This time, Tan Chun did not scold Aunt Zhao for these shameless remarks. Instead, she hoped that it would be true as she said and could capture Lai Shangrong's heart.

But when I think about it carefully, I think it’s impossible.

It is indeed inconvenient for other foreign men to enter the mansion, but Lai Shangrong is different. His family has been running the Rong Mansion for several generations, and now it has been promoted step by step. No one who is short-sighted would dare to stop him from entering the mansion.

Besides, not to mention the business dealings with Wang Xifeng, just because he is engaged to Lin Daiyu, is there any excuse for visiting her?

But what Aunt Zhao said was true. Her father, Jia Zheng, always had a good reputation, but even he didn't care about it and stayed in her house all day long. Obviously, her words were not false.

That can only be due to Lai Shangrong.

But if he wasn't a womanizer, he wouldn't be able to hook up with his aunt, so why did his aunt refuse to go to the date despite already sending out an invitation?
Yes, women are just an outlet for his desires, so how can he be swayed by female lust?

Thinking of this, Tanchun was not angry at all, but looked fascinated.

Although he has great desires, he can not be influenced by them. Only such a man is worthy of being her husband.

At first, he was afraid that his appearance was not as good as Lin Daiyu's, but now that he thinks about it, female sex is just an outlet for him.

I believe that as long as the interests and risks are stated to him, he will be able to make the right decision.

Thinking of this, Tanchun became more confident in his plan.

She said confidently: "I think Brother Lai's official duties are more important. In this case, there is no need for my aunt to be impatient. When he is free, he will come over naturally."

"Hey! Isn't this why you are in a hurry?"

Aunt Zhao looked at her daughter who was raking her down with confusion.

Now that he has decided to wait patiently, Tanchun doesn't want to stay with Aunt Zhao for too long.

He stood up and said, "I'm going back first. There is news from Brother Lai. Please remember to tell me."

Lai Shangrong was not as Aunt Zhao and Tanchun thought. He had been visiting Wang Xifeng's courtyard a lot these days.

However, since they all sneaked into the night with the wind and moistened things silently, both mother and daughter were kept in the dark.

Of course, moisturizing things or people is just a side job. The main task is to refine the factory's rules and regulations with Wang Xifeng.

On this day, before dawn, Lai Shangrong quietly left the back door of Rong Mansion with the complete factory rules and regulations.

Since Xing Zhong still had to implement these details, he planned to ask Xing Xiuyan to hand them over, so he returned to the old house and entered the east wing of the backyard.

It was almost time to wake up in the morning, and Yuanyang had a light sleep, so he woke him up.

He said vaguely: "Have you slept, slave?"

Lai Shangrong explained: "No, the uncle asked sister-in-law Lian over there a while ago for help and made a detailed list of the factory. I was busy all night last night and made some modifications. I just finished the work and wanted to come over and give it to Xiuyan. , let her hand it over to her father.”

Yuanyang complained: "Master, keep your voice down, don't wake up Auntie!"

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but feel doubtful, and the voice was not too high.

Moreover, he often came back in the middle of the night in the past. Not to mention speaking loudly, even if he came back, he would only be happy and not have this expression.Yuanyang didn't let him wonder for too long, and then lowered his voice and said: "My aunt is not here this month, and she is afraid that she will be happy in vain, so she won't tell the uncle."

"Really!" Lai Shangrong said happily: "Have you seen the doctor?"

"No! I plan to ask a doctor to check my pulse today, but my aunt is afraid that she will be happy in vain, so she doesn't dare to say anything."

This is the first time that he has been a human being in two lifetimes. Although he has no doubts about his ability to sow seeds, he still scratches his head when he hears that Xing Xiuyan may be pregnant.

Knowing that it was impossible to hear fetal movement right now, he still couldn't help but lift up the quilt and put his ear to Xing Xiuyan's flat belly.

Although he was careful, he still woke up Xing Xiuyan.

Seeing Lai Shangrong lying on his stomach and listening, he already knew what was unclear.

He scolded the mandarin duck: "Didn't I tell you that I would tell you after the doctor checked your pulse?"

Yuanyang stuck out his tongue and said, "I was afraid that the uncle would...want that, so I told him as a last resort."

"How could you not tell me such a big thing? I have to accompany you to diagnose your pulse no matter what!"

There was just the right amount of complaint in Lai Shangrong's words, which did not make Xing Xiuyan feel blaming, but also showed deep concern.

Xing Xiuyan stroked his head, and said shyly: "Don't go out to get a pulse, you have to have someone to accompany you, besides, aren't the mandarin ducks here? Grandpa's office is busy..."

Before Xing Xiuyan could finish speaking, Lai Shangrong interrupted: "This won't work! I'll ask Hu Si to go to the Yamen to ask for leave for me in a while, and I'll keep an eye on you at home."

Seeing that he was so nervous, Xing Xiuyan also worried about gain and loss and said, "If there's such a big commotion, what if it's just too late..."

"Hey! If it's not, then it's not. What if I take a day off to take a bath with you and check your pulse?"

"Then...then don't tell the old lady, master, and madam first, I'm afraid..."

Lai Shangrong was also afraid that she would be under too much pressure, so he smiled and agreed, "I'll listen to Xiuyan."

With this happy event, Lai Shangrong lost his sleep, hugged Xing Xiuyan and said some thoughtful words.

At daybreak, they sent for a doctor and notified Hu Si to go to the Yamen to ask for leave.

After breakfast, the doctor has arrived.

In the side room, Lai Shangrong stared eagerly at the doctor who was diagnosing the pulse.

"Congratulations, sir! Madam is very happy!"

Seeing that Lai Shangrong was so concerned, the doctor thought that Xing Xiuyan was the real wife.

Lai Shangrong naturally would not correct this mistake, so he smiled and paid for an extra consultation fee.

"Yuanyang! Go and tell the old lady, master, and madam! Then ask someone to inform Xiuyan's parents."

My grandmother and parents were looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they arrived. Naturally, they would not be stingy with the mandarin ducks who came to announce the good news.

Therefore, Lai Shangrong specially assigned this task to Yuanyang.

"Hey!" Yuanyang also looked proud and hurriedly ran out.

Now that it was confirmed that she was pregnant, Lai Shangrong was not afraid that Xing Xiuyan would worry about gains and losses again, so he gave her the basic precautions for pregnancy in her previous life one by one.

"Hehe! I have to think carefully about this name and choose one that sounds nice!"

Looking at Lai Shangrong who couldn't help but be overjoyed, Xing Xiuyan said: "Uncle! I need to tell Miss Lin personally. I think it's better for Miss Lin to pick up the name. What do you think, uncle?"

The wife has not yet married, and the concubine is pregnant. If she gives birth to a concubine's eldest son, she may be jealous.

Although she has a good friendship with Lin Daiyu, she doesn't dare to be sloppy about this kind of matter. Whether she asks Lai Shangrong to tell her personally or asks Lin Daiyu to name her, it's all to eliminate the influence.

Although Lai Shangrong didn't care about this, seeing Xing Xiuyan's cautious appearance, he didn't want her to worry too much.

Although the naming rights have been lost, there will still be opportunities in the future.

So he smiled and agreed: "Okay! It's up to you. I'll go over after I have dinner with you at noon."
