Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 31

"Uncle! We're here!"

Just as Lai Shangrong was thinking about whether he had something or not, the carriage had stopped at his door.

After getting off the carriage, he thanked the driver of the Qin family.

As soon as he entered the house, he was stopped by Zhou Rui, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Uncle Lai! You are finally back, my wife has been waiting for you all night!"

Lai Shangrong looked at the time and saw that it was already the second watch (nine o'clock).

He hesitated: "It's late at night, but what's the rush? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

I have said that Zhou Rui is from the Wang family and does not belong to the same camp as his own. Although I have overthought the matter of Siqi, I still decided to be cautious because I was careful not to make a big mistake.

Most people who have seen the Red Chamber have a stereotyped impression of Mrs. Wang, thinking that she speaks like a snake, and Lai Shangrong is no exception.

It's already dark now, and I've been drinking again. If Mrs. Wang has a plan and directs a scene in which Lai Shangrong teases Aunt Zhao, her life will be over.

Seeing him staring at him with suspicion, Zhou Rui had no choice but to tell him everything.

"Let's do this! You go back and tell your wife that I drank alcohol and I wasn't very respectful in the past. Besides, I don't have a clue now. I have to think of a proper solution. The person is locked up anyway, so why rush? .”

This matter is not difficult for Mrs. Wang, and it’s not like she can’t handle it herself, so why should she go to him?

Zhou Rui saw that he was drunk and that it was inappropriate to do so late at night, so he had to go back and report.

After Zhou Rui left, Lai Shangrong did not rush back to his room, but went to the east courtyard.

He didn't know much about the situation in Zhaidou and Rongfu, but he still wanted to hear his parents' opinions.

"Hey! Didn't you go to the house with Zhou Rui?" Mr. and Mrs. Lai asked when they saw him.

"We must avoid suspicion this late at night? What if my wife has any plans..."

Lai laughed and said, "I had a plan to send Zhou Rui away a long time ago. How can I still make him wait for you?"

Mrs. Xu slapped Lai Da on the shoulder and said, "You talk a lot. Could it be that your son's thoughtfulness turned out to be a bad thing?"

"Yes, yes!" Lai Da nodded and said: "You have to think carefully when doing things. Let's just talk about this matter. It happened before we had a chance to take action. It can be seen that they are not doing things secretly, and God has eyes!"

"Ah?! Didn't you do it?"

Lai Shangrong listened to Zhou Rui's story. Although he didn't tell the specific details, it coincided with his family's plan. He naturally thought that his parents had implemented the plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

"Either you say that people who are mean will be rewarded! This guy is usually arrogant, and even before we started to instigate him, Ming Yan would already have a grudge."

Maybe he felt that this matter was dependent on God, and he would lose face in front of his son. He rubbed his head and said, "But it's not like we haven't done anything at all. Although my wife has given a silence order, I promise you that if it doesn't happen within a day or two, it will be done." It will be spread throughout the house, and it will be kept and passed to the old lady, telling him to get away as far as he can."

Lai Shangrong only focused on the results and didn't care who did it. At the moment, he was just wondering why Mrs. Wang wanted to deal with him. "You two elders, let me analyze why my wife asked her son to handle this matter."

Lai laughed and said: "This is not easy! This matter is not a big deal, but it doesn't sound good to say it out loud. There are many dandy boys who are old-fashioned and enthusiastic. There are several boys around Mr. Lian who specialize in this.

Although the Pan family is not worth mentioning, Pan You'an's mother is from the Qin family, and she has a sister-in-law relationship with the eldest wife's companion Wang Shanbao's daughter. Although Wang Shanbao's family may not take care of him, they may not take the opportunity to make trouble. If it is too serious, it will inevitably be criticized and made a fuss, so I need you to stop the old lady's mouth, so that she can evade when the old lady makes trouble in the future. "

His analysis was so clear and logical that Lai Shangrong couldn't help but be in awe. They never imagined that Mrs. Wang simply thought that Lai Shangrong was her lucky general.

"Then according to dad's wishes, what should we do about this matter?"

"Don't be too hasty to come forward on this matter. Just put it off for a couple of days and wait until the news reaches the old lady and then see what she means."

Lai Shangrong gave Lai Da a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, ginger is always hotter, so your method is better!"

Then he asked doubtfully: "My wife has issued a hush-hush order, but if this matter is still spread, there won't be any sequelae, right?"

Mother Xu smiled and said: "Son, don't worry! They mixed sand with us. Aren't they unhappy that a few grains of sand have changed color? The wife did this secretly, and only a few people in her house were involved. , if she wants to doubt her, she will only doubt her own family members, who dare not speak out."

Hearing what his mother said, Lai Shangrong felt relieved and explained to Lai and his wife why Qin Ye invited him to dinner before returning to the back garden to rest.

…………

In the south of the city, in a small and poor courtyard in Daodefang.

Sanjie You was leaning on the couch with her hair loosely pulled up. She was wearing a white midi dress with her lapel half-opened, revealing a green tube top and a trace of her snow breasts.Wearing green trousers and red shoes underneath, a pair of golden lotuses are curled up or tied together, and the two pendants look like they are on a swing. They were originally a pair of eyes with awe, but after drinking wine, they looked even more drunk and blurred.

"Mom, aren't you an old fool? We, the most precious people, even the nobles, don't have to let them get involved with us. It's a good idea to be raised by him as a slave!"

Mrs. You pointed at Sister You angrily and shouted: "Master Qin has already spoken. If you don't obey him, what should we do if we cut off our expenses? Which one of you two is willing to wear gold, silver, chicken, duck and fish on weekdays?" Frugal?"

Third Sister You was not afraid of her, she lifted up her lapels, sucked some air in, and said, "You didn't know just now that the man named Lai looked so polite, but he was actually a pervert, and he shrugged his shoulders a few times intentionally or unintentionally. Pretend I don’t know!”

Second Sister You heard this and laughed and said, "He is indeed not very restful. He rubbed against my legs a few times and moved his rear towards me intentionally or unintentionally."

Sanjie You became more energetic, stood up and shouted, "Isn't it right? His virtue is not much better than that of my brother-in-law! Don't come to me for this matter anyway. If Second Sister is willing, you can go to her!"

Then, he said to the sister beside him, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and his face soft and timid, "Second sister, if you don't want to, let's go to the eldest sister's place to fight in the autumn breeze. How can we, sisters, control my brother-in-law's lewd character?" The government of another country has a great business, how can it fail our sisters?"

You Lao Niang sighed and said: "Your eldest sister is not a relative. Besides, she is also very cautious over there. She has already taken care of us if she wanted to."

He turned to Second Sister You and asked, "Your sister refuses, so you should say something!"

When Second Sister You heard about herself, her legs were so tight that she couldn't even insert a needle in. Xixiaozu said, "Master Qin said that his family is half as big as my brother-in-law's family. Could he be lying to us?"

Sanjie You said angrily: "What are you thinking about? He is raised by a slave, how can he afford to live in such a big house?"

You Lao Niang glared at her, then turned to Feng Xiaoyu and said to Second Sister You: "How could Mr. Qin lie to us? If you don't believe it, let's ask your sister tomorrow!"
