The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Late at night, Lai Erfang.

Lai Er, the second son of Nanny Lai, the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion.

Nanny Lai, the oldest servant in the Jia family, can sit down when talking with Jia's mother, and is the servant with the highest status in the entire Jia family.

The Lai family was also prosperous because of her, with an independent manor, and the garden even had half the grandeur of the Grand View Garden, and they also used slaves.

"I don't know why Brother Wang came here late at night, why?" Lai Er asked the middle-aged man in front of him, clinking a glass.

"It's all right, I just heard that the third master of your mansion has made great contributions, so I came here to rejoice." Wang Fang said with a smile.

Lai Er laughed and said: "Where is this? No matter how great the third master's meritorious service is, he can surpass the master of the Wang family? Brother Wang is waiting in front of the master of the Wang family. It is better than coming here."

Wang Fang, the housekeeper of Wang Ziteng's mansion.

Wang Fang smiled, and suddenly asked: "I heard that your nephew Lai Shangrong is waiting for a vacancy, and he will take office soon?"

Lai Shangrong is the son of Lai's second elder brother, Lai Da. He escaped from slavery since he was a child, and lived a life like a young master. Because he was able to read and write since he was a child, the resources of the Lai family and the Jia family helped Lai Shangrong plan a county magistrate. I'm going to take office.

Hearing this, Lai Er snorted coldly: "He actually flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix."

Wang Fang glanced at him and smiled: "It's a pity for Shang Ning."

Lai Shangning, the son of Lai Er.

When Lai Er heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

He was angry because he wanted to fight for his son, but it was a pity that Nanny Lai preferred Lai Shangrong more.

"Brother, don't bother, you are with the third master now, as long as you take good care of him, are you afraid that Shangning will have no future?" Wang Fang poured him a glass of wine.

"Him?" Lai Er said angrily, "I went to see him on purpose a while ago, but he didn't pay any attention to me."

As the head of the Ningguo Mansion, he had long wanted to get close to Jia Jue, but Jia Jue didn't give him good looks at all.

"Is there anyone who is such a master?" Wang Fang was full of injustice, "My child is still young, and my master has already planned his future for him."

Lai Er's face was full of envy: "Master Wang is indeed a first-rank official who is an extremely human minister. With such a structure, how can he not develop?"

"That's right, the master has been promoted this time, and he doubled my monthly salary as soon as he got home." Wang Fang said happily.

Lai Er's heart was moved when he heard the words, and he said quickly: "Brother, I have admired the master of the Wang family for a long time, I wonder if I can work for the master of the Wang family?"

His heart was moved, and he planned to change the court.

"This..." Wang Fang hesitated.

Lai Er's eyes lit up when he saw this, but Wang Fang didn't directly refuse, so there was something to be said.

He quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Wang Fang's hands: "Brother, please help me a little bit. If it can be done, this kindness will never be forgotten."

Wang Fang looked at the banknotes in his hand, he thought there were several hundred taels, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother is so generous."

Lai Er smiled complacently. Among the servants of the Jia family, the Lai family is considered to have good hands and eyes. In addition, all the men of the Jia family are worthless. In other words, the Lai family is just a servant, where did such a huge family business come from, and even let Lai Shangrong be the county magistrate?

"Brother, please help me. Afterwards, my brother's good son will be indispensable." He said to Wang Fang again.

Wang Fang pondered for a while before he said: "Brother, I will not hide it from you. There is indeed a lack of people in the mansion recently, but my master will not accept people easily, especially you are still in this status."

"Brother please advise." Lai Er said hastily.

Wang Fang thought for a while: "Recently, my master has been going smoothly, but there is only one thing that is not going well."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Fang didn't speak, but pointed in the direction of Linglong Xiaozhu.

Lai Er's heart skipped a beat: "You mean, Jia Jue?"

Wang Fang nodded: "That's right, relying on His Majesty's favor, he didn't take my master seriously, and repeatedly opposed him secretly. The master cared about the face of his relatives and didn't care about him, but he didn't expect him to push himself even further .Brother, if you want the master to accept you, you might as well help the master vent his anger."

Lai Er thought for a while, and quickly asked: "I don't know how to help the master vent his anger?"

"I have an idea, but I don't know if you dare to do it." Wang Fang approached him and whispered in a low voice.

After Lai Er heard this, his expression changed for a while, and finally he slapped the table:
"Done."

……

The next morning.

Lai Er got up early in the morning, he asked about Jia Jue's situation, and after learning that he was studying in the study, he went out with peace of mind.

He returned to his mansion, took a few gifts, wrote another letter of worship, and went straight to the residence of Zhou Ping, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The gifts he brought were unusual, they were all calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and they were of great value.

Of course, the source of these gifts is naturally Ningguo Mansion.

He got a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings like this from Ningguo Mansion, so it's not a big deal to take out a few.

After traveling all the way, he came to Zhou Mansion.

After communicating his identity, he met the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion smoothly.

"I wonder if Butler Lai is here?" Zhou Manor's butler asked.

"Oh, that's right. My master admires Master Zhou, so he specially ordered the villain to come and deliver the greeting card." Lai Er took out the greeting card from his arms and handed it to the housekeeper of the Zhou residence.

The housekeeper of the Zhou residence took it over and looked at it, his face was full of surprise: "It turns out that your master is actually Mr. Yu!"

Lai Er smiled: "Exactly."

The housekeeper of the Zhou residence quickly said: "Just wait a moment, I will report to my master."

After finishing speaking, he took the greeting card and walked out.

Looking at his back, a sneer flashed in Lai Er's eyes. Zhou Ping would definitely not meet Jia Jue, let alone accept his gift.

Because Zhou Ping is the chief examiner of Enke, and Jia Jue is the candidate for the exam.

This is the idea Wang Fang gave him, to visit the chief examiner in the name of Jia Jue and give him a gift.

Even if Zhou Ping didn't see Jia Jue at all, and didn't accept his gift, but the number of times, under the attention of everyone, in order to avoid suspicion, how could he dare to name Jia Jue as a tribute?

He carried out this series of actions behind Jia Jue's back. When he came to his senses, it was a done deal. He had no choice but to lose his name to Sun Shan!

Sure enough, after a while, the housekeeper of the Zhou residence came back, and he returned all the invitations and gifts to Lai Er:
"Butler Lai, it's inconvenient for my master to see guests, please go back."

Lai Er made a look of astonishment and disappointment, and after fighting for a while, seeing that the housekeeper of Zhou's house did not let go, he left "unhappy".

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, he smiled triumphantly, this is only the first day, and he will come again in the next few days.

Jia Jue, if you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to you!
