Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 36

"Is the uncle back?"

Qingwen ran back to Lai's house and asked the concierge immediately.

"Uh!...I've been back for more than an hour!"

The concierge Wangcai let out a long sigh when he saw Qingwen sweating profusely, but after thinking about it he still didn't say anything.

Jogging all the way to the back garden.

"uncle!……"

Lai Shangrong came out of the house in a panic when he heard the sound, and did not forget to close the door while arranging his clothes.

After leaving the bedroom, he shouted: "Here! There! What's wrong?"

Qingwen then returned to the main room from the study, and the two of them bumped into each other in the main room.

"Uncle, are you okay? Let me see!"

Qingwen had tears in her eyes, and when she spoke, she started to lift her clothes to check.

Lai Shangrong hurriedly covered the corners of his clothes and scolded: "What are you doing, you frisky? I haven't seen anyone since I came back, and I haven't eaten yet!"

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

Siqi's little hooves were so wild that it took him a lot of effort to subdue them. Since he didn't have any strenuous exercise for lunch, he wanted to preserve his physical strength and continue to use it. An oversight made it difficult for him to scratch and scratch. The chess player left a few scratches on his body, but Qingwen couldn't see it.

"Didn't you eat? There was food left in the kitchen. I haven't been back for more than an hour, so why didn't you go eat?"

"Oh! I didn't see you when I came back. I thought you were out for something, so I lay on the bed for a while and then fell asleep."

Speaking of this, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Hey! Where did you go? You didn't see anyone when you came back? Go get some food for uncle!"

Only then did Qingwen remember the business and hurriedly said: "Ah!~ I almost forgot the business..."

Then he sent Lai Sheng here to look for him, thinking that there was a conflict between Lai Shangrong and Xue Pan, so he went to Rong Mansion to find Lai Da, and then went to Rongqing Hall to explain a series of things.

"Uncle! Let me go and get you something to eat?"

"If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death, so hurry up!"

As he spoke, Lai Shangrong jumped out lamely, reaching out to pull out his shoes as he jumped. He had no choice but to leave the room in an emergency and didn't have time to put on his shoes.

After jumping out and putting on her shoes, she realized that Qingwen hadn't followed, so she hurriedly turned around and dragged her to the front yard.

"Uncle, you're fine. Just go by yourself. I won't go!"

"Dad asked you to come back and call me, but you can't follow me to recover? Hurry up!"

No matter how Qingwen resisted, he dragged her towards the front yard.It's not that Lai Shangrong doesn't care about her, but Qingwen has to follow her again. The key is that Siqi hasn't had time to leave the room yet.

It's not that she's afraid that Qingwen will get jealous. In this era, jealousy is a disease that needs to be cured. However, Siqi is a maid who welcomes spring after all. This obvious cheating will affect her tall image.

Furthermore, not long ago, he swore that Si Qi was having an affair with Pan You'an, but this was done too quickly, and he could hide it if he could.

All the way to the gate, I noticed that the concierge looked at me and Qingwen differently, so I secretly gave him a look of appreciation and rushed to Rong Mansion with Qingwen.

All the way to Rongqing Hall, I first saluted Jia Mu and others, and then gave Yuanyang a vague reassuring look.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Isn't it the one with all beards and tails?"

Seeing that Lai Shangrong was intact, Lai Da hurriedly asked: "Didn't the young master of the Qin family say that you were caught by the young master cousin? How did you resolve it later?"

On the one hand, he said this to pass the blame to Qin Zhong, and on the other hand, he also asked Lai Shangrong to tell what happened to prove that he was not making a mountain out of a molehill.

Lai Shangrong understood and said with a smile: "Wen Long was really angry at first. Fortunately, I told him the facts and reasoned with him, and he finally listened."

Everyone only thought that he cared about Aunt Xue's face. Only he knew in his heart, and he really couldn't explain the reason.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "It's good that everything is fine! Something went wrong when teaching in our school. Where can we show our shame!"

Everyone laughed, but Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed. Is her son willing to listen to reason?
Mother Jia continued: "You handled this matter well! Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is already unwell. It would be bad if she gets more symptoms because of this matter!" "That's right! Since you are their teacher, you can't just watch trouble happen. !”

"Okay! Okay! With you watching over the school, I feel relieved. Those messy things can't be brought to our house!"

Speaking of this, his face suddenly darkened: "You especially can't lead Baoyu to bad things!"

Lai Shangrong didn't understand why Jia Mu suddenly got involved with Baoyu. He only thought that Jia Mu was afraid that Xue Pan would do something like Longyang in the school.

"Don't worry, old lady, I won't allow them to mess around in the school for one day!"

"Well! I know you are a good person. Since the second wife said that you will handle it, why don't you tell me how to deal with the mistress?"

Lai Shangrong suddenly realized that no wonder Jia Mu already knew about Baoyu.

On the one hand, I praised my parents' efficiency in my heart, and on the other hand, I thought about it.

During the fierce battle, Si Qi was afraid that he would be careless and risk Pan You'an's life, so he told him that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had the intention to silence them. If Si Qi's "stamina" was not too great and made him want to stop, he almost regretted it.

Since Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had plans to silence them, their plan to let Xue Pan ask for them in person would definitely fail.

He originally planned to think of a better solution, but now this situation gave him an opportunity.

It's just that this method should satisfy Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, but Aunt Xue is afraid of being offended.

However, there is an impossible triangle in economics, and it is impossible to cover everything.

After careful consideration of the words, he slowly said: "Although this matter is not too big, it is also related to reputation after all. The most important thing at the moment is not to affect Baoyu's reputation."

Baoyu is the treasure of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, so talking about him will get twice the result with half the effort.

Jia Mu sighed: "Yes! Although many children of aristocratic families have these bad habits, Baoyu is not married yet, so how can it be spread out!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, I have issued a hush order on this matter and it will not be spread."

Lai Shangrong said hurriedly: "Madam, I don't know. The reason why Master Biao came to Qin Zhong today is because he heard the news and thought he was also that kind of person, so he came to make trouble!"

"What! Baoyu is your son, why are you so careless?" Jia Mu scolded Mrs. Wang, and then said angrily: "Check! I want to see who is so bold!"

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that the incident would spread so quickly. She was speechless for a moment and could only keep trying to persuade the old lady to calm down and not get so angry.

Lai Shangrong saw his old man glaring at him, knowing that he blamed himself for being nosy, so he gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, old lady. This matter was originally difficult to handle, but now Master Biao has been a big help!"

"Oh?"

Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"Tell me now!"

Lai Shangrong said with a smile: "If you want to cover up the obvious, it is better to add flowers and add flowers to the tree. If we go to check now, it will be confirmed. The whole family is probably aware of the matter of Young Master Biao today, so why not graft the two things together and say that Young Master Biao is interested in this matter?" Pan You'an, my wife will reward Pan You'an to the young cousin in a big way, and then let my father and others publicize it in the house to completely confirm the rumors. Then everyone will only think that the previous rumors are wrong. Who will doubt Baoyu? Even Baoyu? Qin Zhong’s unwarranted disaster is also avoided, isn’t that the best of both worlds!”

After saying that, he said guiltily to Aunt Xue: "But I'm afraid I'll only be aggrieved to the young master!"

What else could Aunt Xue say? Today's incident was caused by Xue Pan. Moreover, he had a good reputation as Long Yang and was not itchy even if there were too many lice.

Of course, it is inevitable to blame Lai Shangrong for coming up with such an idea.

"Hey! Butler Lai, I think your son really has ten thousand ideas, how could he come up with such an idea!"

Sister Feng applied some eye drops at the right time.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look at Lai Shangrong after hearing this.

There are advantages and disadvantages. Although Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were satisfied, they could not help but leave a deep impression.

That’s it!Who calls myself greedy?
