To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 8 Leading the snake out of the hole

  The eldest girl, Sheng Jiayu, and the second girl, Sheng Jialan, were walking towards Luo Sheng along a bluestone path.

  The two young girls are about the same age, and their spring clothes are colorful, and they will undoubtedly add a beautiful scenery to the garden.

  When the two saw Luo Sheng, they stopped in unison.

  Sheng Jiayu frowned, staring at Luo Sheng warily.

  Sheng Jialan bowed her knees to Luo Sheng Yingying: "Good morning, cousin."

  Luo Sheng returned the salute and walked forward.

  Sheng Jiayu couldn't help shouting: "Where are you going?"

  Luo Sheng looked back at her, and said lightly: "Naturally, I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother at this time."

   "Greetings to my grandmother?" Sheng Jiayu's eyes became more alert, she lowered her voice and asked, "Luo Sheng, what the **** are you planning?"

  Sheng Jialan gently tugged on Sheng Jiayu's sleeve: "Elder sister, talk to your cousin."

  Luo Sheng looked at Sheng Jiayu, then at Sheng Jialan, and suddenly smiled: "My cousin still understands me."

   After saying that, she passed the two sisters and walked forward quickly.

  Hongdou hurriedly followed, thinking about Sheng Jiayu's words, she was a little annoyed, and turned around to make a face at Sheng Jiayu.

  Sheng Jiayu was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief and said angrily, "What does she mean?"

  Sheng Jialan persuaded Sheng Jiayu, thinking of what Luo Sheng said to Sheng Jiayu just now, her eyes flickered with anxiety.

   "Second Sister, did you hear that, she said that I still understand her, does this mean to cause trouble?"

  Sheng Jialan frowned lightly: "My cousin is probably just talking out of anger."

   "What are you talking about, she can't stand it if she doesn't get into trouble for a day. No, I want to remind my grandmother, don't be fooled by her current appearance." Sheng Jiayu pulled Sheng Jialan and hurried to chase after her.

  Luo Sheng's arrival undoubtedly surprised Mrs. Sheng.

   "Sheng'er is not in good health yet, why did you come here?" Old lady Sheng said, peeking out of the window out of the corner of her eye.

  Outside the window, the sun is clear, and the warm wind is clear and shallow.

  The sun didn’t come out from the west.

  Old lady Sheng became more and more surprised, and of course it was hard to show it on her face.

   After all, she is the granddaughter of a direct relative, so she can't throw it away no matter how disgusted she is.

  Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "I'm much better now, it's time to pay my respects to my grandmother."

  Old lady Sheng's lips moved, she really wanted to say hello, she felt more at ease, but the words changed: "Sheng'er has a heart."

  Sheng Jiayu sneered.

  Old lady Sheng made a sharp glance, and Sheng Jiayu shut her mouth tightly.

  When Luo Sheng left, Old Madam Sheng's face darkened: "Jiayu, don't be cold-hearted to your cousin, is there any rule?"

  Although the eldest granddaughter has a lively temperament, she has never had a lot of etiquette, but since her granddaughter came, she has repeatedly lost her composure.

Sheng Jiayu bit her lip aggrievedly: "Grandmother, it's not that my granddaughter has no rules, she really doesn't show respect to Luo Sheng. Could it be that because of uncle's high position and authority, the granddaughter is required to be a little fussy to such an incomprehensible cousin? "

  Old lady Sheng was immediately stopped by the question.

  The Sheng family is the same as the Su family, they are farming and studying heirs, and there is a bit of arrogance in their bones.

  It's not good for them as elders to argue with an ignorant little girl, but they also can't see their own girl bowing to Luo Sheng because of her power.

   "Grandmother, we bumped into Luo Sheng on the way to Funing Hall, you don't even know what she said."

Sheng Jiayu talked about what happened on the road, and shook the old lady Sheng's arm: "Grandmother, listen, she is obviously full of bad water and is going to make trouble. You think she will be safe after crying, making trouble, and hanging herself." If it is divided, then it is wrong."

  Old lady Sheng's eyelids twitched, and she asked dryly, "Really?"

  She can't bear her granddaughter to toss about her old bones.

  Sheng Jiayu nodded sharply, and pushed Sheng Jialan: "Second sister, didn't you hear that too?"

  Seeing old lady Sheng looking over, Sheng Jialan nodded slightly.

  The old lady Sheng sighed for a long time, looked at the two flower-like granddaughters and said helplessly: "It doesn't matter what your cousin is, as long as you two behave well, go back."

  Sheng Jiayu and Sheng Jialan left Funing Hall and walked towards their residence.

   "Sister, do you really think my cousin is going to make trouble?"

   "I don't think so, but she definitely will!" Sheng Jiayu sneered, and suddenly pulled Sheng Jialan aside behind the flowers and trees, and said in a low voice, "Luo Sheng is by the lake."

   There is a small artificial lake in Shengfu Garden. Apricots and willows are planted by the lake. The lake is clear and clear, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery.

   "She doesn't even look down on every plant and tree in our Shengfu, why is she so busy enjoying the scenery by the lake?" Sheng Jiayu felt strange, and poked her head to look.

  Luo Sheng stood facing the lake, sometimes turning his head to talk to Hongdou.

  Sheng Jialan tugged Sheng Jiayu's sleeve lightly: "Sister, let's go, this is not good."

   "What's wrong, I'll go and listen to what they say!" Sheng Jiayu broke away from Sheng Jialan, and leaned over under the cover of flowers and trees.

  Sheng Jialan's outstretched hands were empty, and she slowly closed her palms and followed.

  The dialogue between the master and the servant was clearly heard by the two sisters.

   "Girl, are you really not interested in Second Master Su?"

  Hearing Hongdou mentioned Su Yao, both Sheng Jiayu and Sheng Jialan's expressions tightened and their ears pricked up.

   A chuckle came, with a bit of carelessness, but it was very nice: "Who said that?"

  Hongdou's eyes widened, full of confusion: "Then why did you go to Su's house to stop the marriage?"

Luo Sheng whipped the lake with a willow branch casually, and squinted at the little maid: "Hongdou, are you stupid living here? Second Young Master Su is handsome, but if I marry him, if I meet him What about the more handsome man?"

  Hong Dou suddenly realized: "Young lady is right, don't let Second Young Master Su delay you!"

  Luo Sheng raised his fair chin slightly, looking arrogant and reckless: "That's right."

  Hongdou blinked and hesitated: "But in Jinsha, I haven't heard of a man who is better than Second Young Master Su."

Luo Sheng smiled: "So I didn't intend to let him go. After I get better, you can quietly knock Su Er unconscious, and see how he will resist people thousands of miles away! "

  Sheng Jiayu raised her brows when she heard this, and was about to rush out to find Luo Sheng's theory, but Sheng Jialan grabbed her wrist with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.

  Sheng Jiayu looked at Sheng Jialan and blinked in confusion.

  Sheng Jialan shook her head slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Eldest sister, don't be impulsive. Once my cousin becomes angry, she might break the pot and go to trouble with Second Young Master Su immediately."

  The two sisters were emotionally agitated here, but Luo Sheng threw the willow branch into the lake, and said calmly: "Let's go."

  It seems that to her, harming Second Young Master Su is like abandoning this willow branch, which is not worth mentioning.

   "She is so shameless!" Sheng Jiayu was so angry that she kicked Xingshu when Luo Sheng's master and servant left.

  Apricot blossoms are falling like snow.

   Across the apricot blossom rain, Sheng Jialan's eyes kept chasing the fading back figure, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
