Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

"How can my second uncle become an official?"

Lai Shangrong was particularly surprised, and he sensitively felt that something was wrong with his elders.

Because his father didn't show any surprise, it meant that the elders had reached a tacit understanding.

His expression immediately darkened.

The second uncle becoming an official means that the Lai family cannot fully support him in becoming an official. This is the most disadvantageous thing for him.

"Can my father be an official?"

Laiji's three sons were the most surprised, but later they turned into joy. Who doesn’t want to be the second generation official!

Lai's second daughter-in-law also immediately felt that something was wrong. She lowered her head and thought that her uncle's brother Rong spent a lot of money on being a state official. Now that he is going to a place, he will have to spend a lot of money to take care of things.

My husband-in-law said that no matter whether he was a qualified official or not, their family no longer had to support their nephew.

As expected, her old man is still smart.

Immediately she felt happy and pretended that she knew about it. When her sister-in-law asked her, she immediately looked embarrassed to say it and just smiled when asked.

The remaining people reacted one after another, and everyone began to chatter.

"Okay! Listen to your second uncle."

Lai Da said seriously. He had been silent before, but he had an aura about him that people could not ignore. Therefore, as soon as he gave the order, there was no movement at the banquet.

"Cough, cough!"

Laiji glanced at his elder brother depressedly, feeling that as long as he was around, he would be robbed of the limelight. But he still said that business was more important. Anyway, he couldn't stay in Ningguo Mansion for another day.

"Everyone knows that the past two years have been bad, and the emperor and I have no money. And what's going on with the Jia family recently, even the women in the family are aware of it."

"Brother Rong in my family can become an official because the court is in a good mood, which gives many people an additional way to advance."

Lai Er secretly nodded at Lai Shangrong, because his nephew's official position was not obtained through serious scientific examinations.

"Recently, I heard from the master that the place in the south is even more unstable. There are many military attaches missing now, so I thought of this."

"Our ancestors of the Lai family also went to the battlefield with the ancestors of the Jia family, and fought for their lives! Our father, your grandfather, was so tired that he lame his legs for the sake of the Duke. If it were not for fear that it would be difficult to live in the future , we will not enter slavery."

"It's a good time now. For three thousand taels of silver, you can get a job as a deputy commander. Once you enter the camp, you will be an officer. It will be more rewarding than climbing up from the rank of a soldier. I thought..."

"Oh~ Emotions are such an official thing."

When Lai's daughter-in-law heard that he was a military attache, she opened her mouth and smiled. She glanced at her younger siblings, who had purple faces, and then picked up the vegetables and ate them carelessly.

Civil servants and military attachés are not the same.

Civil servants are noble, military officers are cheap. Although it is said to be an official, being a military attache is a hard-working business, which is not the same as being an official.

Although Lai Er's wife felt that her husband could not be so stupid, she couldn't hold back her anger when she thought of Lai Er's daily behavior.

"Ahem! My husband, if you drink too much, you should take a break. You are in your forties, so you shouldn't pay more attention to your health."

Lai Er's wife originally didn't want to call her husband-in-law shameless, but she was afraid that Lai Er would really become a commander.

Lai Er was talking about changing his nationality and title so that he could become a prince in the future. When everyone thought he was bragging too much, Lai Er's wife stopped him.

Except for Aunt Lai and Lai Da, who didn't express his opinion, everyone seemed to dislike him.

"Ahem, second uncle, you should also listen to what second aunt says. How old are you? Besides, our family is also a military household that we finally got rid of. Don't you want to ask your brothers to accompany you on the battlefield?"

"Why not? Brothers fighting, father and son go into battle! What happened to my son going with me?"

Lai Er's eyes widened. He felt that among the boys in the family, Lai Shangrong was the most disliked!

Before Lai Shangrong could continue to refute, Lai's second wife quit.

"Ms. sir! What are you thinking about? If you don't want to stay as a queen, I will still have someone to support you in your old age!"

Lai's second daughter-in-law couldn't sit still at all. She lifted up the gauze that was blocking the men's and women's tables and accidentally pulled it down.

In fact, the Lai family has never been so particular before, but because the family has money and this silk yarn has no money, they took it out to display.

"Oh, this silk costs five hundred yuan per foot!"

Lai's wife murmured distressedly, but she didn't forget to watch the show.

These siblings are really fierce. Whose daughter-in-law dares to interfere in this man’s affairs?

Everyone was busy watching the show, and only Lai Shangrong’s daughter-in-law left the show early.

When Grandma Lai's two little granddaughters saw this, the younger one immediately burst into tears.

"Wow~"

"Speak carefully, you're scaring the child."

Aunt Lai used the light from the veil to see clearly the three sons of Lai Er across from her. She found that except for the younger one who was still confused, the other two were very willing.

Men are hot-blooded, and not everyone is afraid of dying in battle.

Rather than being slaves in other people's homes, they want to work hard.

Grandma Lai hurriedly asked the maids and women to take the children down and close the doors and windows.

"What do you think? The boss is so old and has not yet married a wife. I am just waiting for the master's family to find wives for the boys. After all this, who will be willing to marry a girl over?"

"Why should a man worry about not having a wife..."

"Bah! Old man, if I had known you were like this, how could I have married you and beheaded..."

Lai Er's daughter-in-law began to cry, make trouble, and hang herself. She dragged Lai Er to Grandma Lai for comment.

"Mom also agreed!"

Laiji was not afraid of his wife at all, but his claws were numbed by electricity whenever she touched her.

He was still resentful in his heart, feeling that if Aunt Lai hadn't chosen this wife, he would have divorced her long ago!

"I'm telling you! It turns out that you, an old bitch, don't like our family!"

Lai's second daughter-in-law lost her mind and scolded Aunt Lai. Lai's eldest daughter-in-law pretended to start a fight and was severely elbowed.

"Ouch! Second uncle, you care about your wife, why did you even slap your sister-in-law?"

Lai Da's four sons saw that their mother had suffered a loss. When they got up, Lai Shangrong gave Lai Shangxi a blow.

Yes, the little ones started fighting too.

Aunt Lai was dumbfounded. She had seen the whole family upright and polite, but she never thought that they would start a fight.

Aunt Lai also discovered that not only the children of Lai's family went to beat Lai Shangrong, but also his own brothers secretly beat him up.

It seems that Lai Shangrong really doesn’t like his family!

"Nonsense! What are you doing?"

"Nonsense! Let go of your husband, Mr. Er!"

Aunt Lai and Lai Da spoke at the same time, finally calming down the whole family.

At this time, everyone discovered that the ground was full of spilled dishes.

"What can't you say properly..."

When Lai Da opened his mouth, Lai's second daughter-in-law, who was angry, said back to him, "It's not for you to fight for your feelings..."

Lai glanced at her with big eyes and immediately froze her speechless.

"A woman's words, a woman's appearance, a woman's virtue! If my brothers and sisters think that our Lai family will not divorce our wives, then you are wrong."

Lai Da didn't want to argue with the woman, but at this time, his wife couldn't hold her back, so he had to come out and say a few words.

"If you have anything to say, you go home and argue, but you act up before the second brother has finished speaking... As the head of the Lai family, I can also divorce you on his behalf."
