Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 87 Soap creates a commotion

Ping'er watched Lai Shangrong's figure disappear before his eyes, and then slowly came to the three small buildings behind Rongxi Hall.

He saw Wang Xifeng leaning on a pillow and leaning on the kang by the window with his eyes closed to meditate.

He hurriedly came to the Kang and stood up and said, "Grandma!"

When Sister Feng heard Ping'er's voice, she didn't open her eyes and said quietly: "I just went to convey a message, why did it take so long? But I didn't see the second master?"

Lai Shangrong worked hard so that she could use soap legitimately, but all her sincere feelings were ignored. She couldn't bear to let Jia Lian waste her thoughts.

So he said: "Yes, I heard him talking to Uncle Lai inside before I entered, so I didn't rush in."

"Ha! He has healed his scar and forgot about the pain. He actually forgot about the last audit. He actually praised him in front of me a while ago. That toad is not a good thing. I have to remind the second master not to leave him. The way."

I was waiting for Sister Feng to ask, and then took the opportunity to tell me about the soap, so that Jia Lian could spit out the soap.

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng did not ask what she heard, but instead said that Lai Shangrong was plotting against Jia Lian.

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. It is natural for Ping'er that Lai Shangrong has a good relationship with Jia Lian in order to pave the way for him.

Although this method was not feasible, she felt full of affection.

I couldn't help but say for Lai Shangrong: "Last time it was my wife who asked him to check the accounts. How could he have known that he would implicate the second master!"

"Bah!" Sister Feng spat: "He and Jia Rui are the same thing. Have you forgotten the last time?"

"Perhaps he was not angry about what happened last time. After all, he had just made a great contribution to the family. Not only did the eldest master and uncle Zhen disturb the family's concubinage, but grandma also tied him up..."

She was concerned but confused. She blurted out the words in a moment of anxiety, only then did she wake up.

Sister Feng turned her head and scrutinized: "You little prodigal, why are you still helping outsiders to speak?"

Ping'er hurriedly explained: "I'm also thinking about whether it's better to resolve enemies than to end them! Grandma, think about it, now that the master and his wife think highly of him, why should we always have trouble with him."

Just after I explained a few sentences, I suddenly remembered that it was just right to tell me about the soap at this moment.

Then he said: "And I think he also knows that he offended grandma last time, and he is rushing to curry favor with grandma!"

"Ha! Flatter me?"

"That's right! I was listening to the second master talking to him just now. He even gave him ten pieces of soap a while ago. Isn't it just to please grandma?"

Sister Feng sat up suddenly and said, "What? How early or late did it happen?"

"Just a while ago, they didn't tell me the details. When I went there, the second master was asking for it again! He just mentioned it and asked grandma why she used it so quickly!"

"I'll use my ass!"

Sister Feng said, picking up the pillow behind her and throwing it onto the kang.

"Okay! Okay! He must be using it to please those bastards again!"

This is because the two of them stand in different positions. Ping'er no longer cares about Jia Lian's hook-ups, because she knew that Jia Lian was taken away from her, so she immediately thought of selling him.

Sister Feng was obviously more concerned about Jia Lian stealing food, so she thought he was using it to hook up with others.

If Lai Shangrong had given something else, even if Jia Lian had concealed it, she would have turned a blind eye after learning from the past experience. After all, although the soap was expensive, the money was not in her eyes. inside.

While thinking about how to deal with Jia Lian in the evening, he said: "This toad is really evil!"

Lai Shangrong inspected her unscrupulously several times, and she felt it clearly. It was natural that he wanted to use the soap to please her, but it was just a cautious move in Jia Lian's hands.

Ping'er had already aroused Sister Feng's suspicion before, so he didn't dare to say anything now.

When I got home in the evening, Sister Feng sat in the main hall without saying a word.

See Jia Lian coming in humming a little tune. "What are you so happy about? Why didn't the second master say something to make us happy too!"

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Jia Lian re-manages the construction of other courtyards. Although he can't be as unscrupulous as before, the so-called no comparison means no happiness, and he doesn't suffer from poverty but inequality. A sense of superiority.

When Lai Shangrong was delivering soap a while ago, he happened to see Bao Er's family in the meeting hall. He gave a piece as a gift and enjoyed the meticulous care.

It was precisely because of the lack of one piece that I thought that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and I didn't dare to mention it to Sister Feng.

Another piece was left in the study room. During the Lantern Festival banquet, I heard Jia Zhen talk about the benefits of the soap. How could I not experience it?

The remaining eight pieces were all given to the boy to sell, and he made a small profit of a hundred taels of silver, which he just received today.

But it was hard to tell Sister Feng all this, so she said seriously: "There is no happy event, it's just that the project of the other hospital is progressing smoothly!"

Sister Feng said with a smile as bright as a flower: "Second Master doesn't know, but I do know something about Second Master's happy event!"

Jia Lian hurriedly ran to Sister Feng and said with a smile: "What happy event? Madam, tell me quickly. Could it be that my wife has changed her mind?"

Jia Lian took it for granted that it was Wang Xifeng who interceded for him again in front of Mrs. Wang, and finally he could no longer succumb to Lai Shangrong.

Although it's okay now, it's always Lai Shangrong who holds the pressure. It's a pity that Jia Zhen can't benefit from it.

Sister Feng sneered: "Huh! I gave you soap, isn't it just convenient to use it to hook up with those sluts!"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows, stared at Jia Lian with those powerful red phoenix eyes, and said with a stern voice: "Tell me! Which bastard did you hook up with again?"

Jia Lian was agitated when he heard this, and secretly thought that he had been hanging out with Bao's family recently outside the second door. How could Sister Feng know that there was a spy around her?
Thinking of spies, I couldn't help but think that when Ping'er went there today, I was asking Lai Shangrong for soap.

Then he glared at Ping'er and said, "Tell me! Are you just a little kid doing trouble?"

Ping'er said happily without fear: "Second Master is not clean himself. I was given ten yuan as a gift, but you didn't even take any of it home. Instead, you accused me of being a troublemaker!"

"Okay! Okay! You are all on the same vine, and you are only looking at the one who picked me!"

Said that she was about to go up and tear Ping'er apart in a fit of rage, Sister Feng stood up suddenly, stood in front of Ping'er and said, "What? We are all on the same vine, do you still want to do something to me?"

When Jia Lian saw Sister Feng's eyes widening with anger, he immediately gave up. He licked his face and said, "Madam, calm down. I was just so angry that I couldn't say anything. Madam, don't blame me!"

"Isn't it weird? I didn't even see the things they gave me, but you took them and posted those dirty and smelly things. Do you still have the nerve to ask me to calm down?"

Jia Lian immediately defended: "No! Absolutely not! I'm not alone... I'm a big man, I can't live without money, so I asked Xing'er to sell it!"

"Sold? You should tell me how much you sold!"

"100 taels!"

"Where's the silver?"

Jia Lian said sadly and angrily: "Are you too cruel? Those family friends and relatives rarely need to move around on weekdays. Do I have to wait for others to receive guests every time?"

Sister Feng had no intention of asking for the 100 taels, but she was just afraid that he would lie to her.

"Who cares about your 100 taels? As long as you show it to me, it will be over for now!"

"Hey!" Jia Lian nodded and agreed, "I'll get it right now!"

"Wait! Where did you leave Ping'er? If you go out now, how do I know if you are looking for someone to put it together!"

Jia Lian complained secretly, not that he couldn't get 100 taels, but that he never thought that this would happen. The money he earned recently and the soap he kept were all placed together. If Ping'er went to get them, the money couldn't be hidden. , the previous words will not come back, let alone the piece of soap.

Thinking of this, he turned around and ran away, taking advantage of the Jia family's genes.

“There’s still some unfinished business in the front yard!”
