Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 279 Doubt
Xue Baoqin was a little dissatisfied with Lai Shangrong, but Jia Baoyu began to be sour and jealous because of him.

Ever since Lai Shangrong entered the house, everyone's talk has been surrounding him. Even this new sister has been related to him in advance, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

It's just that I learned a lesson last time, and I was afraid of being grounded again, and I didn't dare to go crazy, so I had to find another way.

Asked Xue Baoqin: "Can my sister compose poetry?"

Seeing Xue Baoqin nodded blankly, she scratched her ears and said with a smile: "There is a poetry club in our garden, and my sister can just join the club when she comes."

He was shaking his head and was full of joy. He might as well say Tanchun: "This poetry club was Lai's suggestion. It's just a pity that he, the rightful owner, has never participated in it."

As he said that, he looked at Lai Shangrong with a flattering look.

The last time he tried to blackmail Lai Shangrong failed, but he got the key. While he was busy appeasing Aunt Zhao, he was also worried that Lai Shangrong would regret it. He finally found such a good opportunity, so he didn't pay attention to it and made Jia Baoyu resentful.

When she said this, Lin Daiyu also looked at Lai Shangrong.

Others don't know it, but since she made an engagement with Lai Shangrong, Xiangling no longer avoids taboos and often promotes Lai Shangrong's masterpieces to her.

Looking at the people looking at him, especially when his eyes passed over Jia Baoyu and Xue Baoqin, he suddenly remembered the plot of folding red plums.

It has been so long since the Grand View Garden was built, but I have never even seen Miaoyu, a fake nun.

Although not many people came, Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu were old acquaintances. They didn't even think of making good use of them. It was really out of character for the King of the Sea.

So he looked at Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the first snowfall of this year is coming soon, when it comes down, I will take a day off to take a bath, and bring Xiuyan over to join in the fun, how about it?"

Xing Xiuyan didn't live in Grand View Garden for long, and he only participated in the poetry club once. He was already at a playful and noisy age during the rainy season.

It was only because of her that Lai Shangrong agreed to join the poetry club, and he felt very happy.

Lin Daiyu also thought that Lai Shangrong agreed because of her expectant eyes.

It has to be said that Lai Shangrong perfectly interprets the essence of a scumbag.

Of course, not everyone welcomed him to join, but although Jia Baoyu was a little unwilling, he thought that now that Xue Baoqin had joined the club, Lai Shangrong would not be there every time, so he could only swallow his displeasure.

Baochai smiled at the side and said: "Brother Lai's proposal is quite elegant. Let's just rely on what he says."

"Okay!" Xiangyun clapped his hands and said, "Sister Lin is usually the best at teasing people. This time Brother-in-law Lin is here, I think you are embarrassed, so you screamed "Ai, Er, Er."

Lin Daiyu often made fun of her for her unclear speech and indistinguishability between "love" and "love".

Although she was also grateful to Lai Shangrong, she had always been outspoken and didn't have so many worries. In addition, it was just a joke between the sisters, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She was willing to call her "brother-in-law Lin".

However, this cry of 'Brother-in-law Lin' was loud and clear, and Lin Daiyu was too shy to hide it. She became even more angry and stepped forward to scratch her.

The two of them chased each other, and every time they were about to catch up, Xiangyun used Lai Shangrong as a shield and hid behind him.

I have been welcoming the spring like a transparent person, but I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw this scene.

Of course, Yingchun was not the only one who was dejected. Jia Baoyu also dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

Xue Baoqin, who didn't know the inside story, was confused.She heard what Jia Mu and others said, Xing Xiuyan should belong to Lai Shangrong's family, why did she suddenly become the 'brother-in-law Lin' in Xiangyun's mouth again.

Is it a two-bedroom house?
No wonder she had such a guess. Mother Jia made it clear that Xing Xiuyan was Mrs.

That is only possible with two bedrooms.

Even so, this guess made her secretly stunned.

She was born as a slave in the Rong Mansion, but she was able to marry two relatives from the manor. This was enough to refresh her outlook on life, so she didn't dare to speculate boldly.

Lin Daiyu was already delicate, and Xiangyun always used Lai Shangrong as a shield. After chasing her for a while, he made himself blush, so he had to let her go temporarily.

Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, has a forgetful nature, and he was moved by the scene just now, but as the two chased each other around Lai Shangrong, he shifted his attention to Xue Baoqin.

Naturally, this scene could not escape Baochai's eyes. Seeing that Daiyu Xiangyun was also tired, he took Baoqin and sat in a circle to discuss poetry.

Naturally, Lai Shangrong would not get in. Although Jia Baoyu wanted to get in, he was blocked intentionally or unintentionally by Baochai and Daiyu, so he could only look at everyone with envy and listen attentively.

Xiang Yun and others all wanted to test their teaching, so they asked Xue Baoqin to recite two old works. When she finished reciting, everyone was full of praise.

Jia Baoyu, who was on the periphery, couldn't help but admired: "God, God, you have so many talents and talents to give birth to these outstanding people! You know, I am a frog in the well. The Chengri family says that these people now are one of a kind." , who would have known that there is no need to look far, the local scenery is just like the other, and now I have gained another layer of knowledge. Apart from these, are there a few more?"

However, although his words pleased Xue Baoqin, they undoubtedly offended the sisters.

When no one answered, Tanchun hurriedly agreed: "Second brother is right. It shows that our poetry club is really going to prosper!"

Compared to Jia Baoyu who tried to get in but couldn't get in, someone built a ladder to lure Lai Shangrong.

Tanchun had just finished the previous sentence, and then sighed: "If it weren't for Brother Lai, we wouldn't have thought of building a poetry club. Second sister-in-law is really incompetent as the censor of the society. How about we ask Brother Lai to take on this job?" "

Wang Xifeng heard this from the side and said with a smile: "Hey! This is because I, the censor of the prison, don't have enough support, and I want to change to the God of Wealth! If it's someone else, I won't rely on you, but if it's Brother Lai, I can only give in."

Lai Shangrong was well aware of Tanchun's actions, and he didn't mind offering the money, so he smiled and said: "It happened that the Qianxiang Kingdom mission sent some jadeite stones last time. I took a piece of violet and asked Deyutang to beat it. Please put some jewelry back at Sister Lin’s place to make a lucky gift for you.”

The jewelry has already been laid, but the pink jadeite is too eye-catching, so I took the opportunity to spread it out in the Grand View Garden, so as not to give it out later and arouse suspicion.

Wang Xifeng had received it a long time ago, but it has been inconvenient to wear it out.

He smiled hurriedly and said: "They can compose poems, but I can't, but we can't favor one over the other. If you want me to hand over this prison censor, you have to give me two pieces of jewelry."

Everyone just thought she was greedy and hot-hearted, but they didn't know that she was just a cover for wearing it conveniently, so they all made fun of her.

"Brother Lai, please don't be fooled by your second sister-in-law. She is eager to resign so that she can save some expenses."

When Xue Baoqin saw this, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart. How could she not understand the ways of the world when she followed her father all over the world.

Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were fine. After all, they were members of Lai Shangrong's family. Why did they feel that their cousins, Tan Chun and Wang Xifeng all kept bringing the topic to him, even with a hint of flattery.

Is there anything else that I don't know about?
Just as he was thinking, a maid outside came in to tell that the meal was ready.
