To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 9 Coincidence

  After Sheng Jiayu and Sheng Jialan left, the flowers and leaves trembled, and a man jumped up from the flowers.

   "Cousin Luo is really scary!" Sheng Sanlang, who had heard Luo Sheng's conversation between master and servant, wiped his face, feeling scared for a while.

  He was in a bad mood. He drank a pot of stuffy wine early in the morning and fell into a daze among the flowers. Afterwards, he heard a faint sound coming from the lake.

   Originally, he wanted to say hello out of politeness—Sheng Sanlang gave a jolt and shook his head, brushed off the flowers and leaves on his body, and walked away quickly.

  After Luo Sheng returned to the room, Hong Dou asked a little late: "Girl, will we really lure snakes out of their holes by saying that?"

  Luo Sheng looked at Basho out of the window with a calm expression: "You have to try it before you talk."

  She can't guarantee that others will act according to her wishes, but since the other party is a poisonous snake that has bitten people, it is very likely that they will strike again when they find an opportunity.

  Hongdou tilted her head and looked at Luo Sheng, very puzzled: "Why is it so troublesome, girls wouldn't be like this before."

  Luo Sheng withdrew his eyes and looked at Hongdou, and smiled with bent lips: "Oh, what was I like before?"

  She was born bright, and her smile should have been bright and brilliant, but at this moment, her eyes were deep and deep, and her smile couldn't reach her eyes, which made her whole person feel cold.

   Hongdou couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at it.

  Thinking about how reckless their girls were before, they became more careful after drinking Mengpo soup after walking through the gate of hell.

  Hongdou decided to encourage her own girl, waved her hand and said, "I didn't even think about it before, I think the second cousin girl is not a good one, so just strip her naked and beat her and throw her on the street."

  Luo Sheng's eyes flickered slightly: "Have I done this before?"

   "Almost." Hongdou said vaguely.

   "Tell me specifically."

  Hongdou bit her lip; "The servant girl is afraid of making the girl angry by mentioning it. It was that time, there was a little hoof in the mansion who winked at Mr. Si—"

  Luo Sheng stopped Hong Dou's words: "Who is Mr. Si?"

  Hong Dou put his forehead on his forehead, and said with a distressed face: "The girl even forgot about Mr. Si. Mr. Si is the face you snatched back when you went shopping."

  As calm as Luo Sheng, his expression twisted at this moment.

   Face first?

   Listen to this Miss Luo's past, why does she think that her princess is in vain?

   "Forget it, let's not talk about this, go and see if those two little maids have come back from inquiring about the news." Luo Sheng felt that he needed to take a break.

  Red Dou placed a plate of candied fruit in front of Luo Sheng, and said with a smile: "Young lady will feel better after eating some candied fruit. Let me take a look."

  The little maid turned and went out, leaving Luo Sheng in a daze for a while, then picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

  Sweet and sour plums are not palatable to Luo Sheng.

   She stared at the plum on her fingertips and her thoughts drifted further.

  She once carved green plums into flower shapes and made candied fruit to make her mother happy. Now she is trapped in Jinsha as Miss Luo, and she doesn't know what happened to her parents and relatives.

  After side-talking Hongdou, Luo Sheng didn't dare to mention Zhennan Palace to others.

  From Hongdou's ignorance of the Zhennan Palace, and the officers and soldiers she saw surrounding the Palace that night, she already had guesses about the fate of her family.

   But she is not reconciled, she still wants to take a look!

  Luo Sheng's fingertips felt cold, and the plums fell back into the plate.

  Hongdou walked in hurriedly, followed by two little maids.

  The two little maids hurriedly greeted Luo Sheng. Compared with yesterday's panic, today they were a little more excited.

   Money to open the way, most of the time it works.

   "Tell me." Luo Sheng cut to the chase.

A little servant girl hurriedly said: "Biao girl, I went to inquire about it. Miss Qian is the daughter of Qian Juren. Qian Juren betrothed her to his student last year. Who knew that Miss Qian fell in love with Mr. Su, and she was unwilling to live or die. Married in the past, seeing that she was about to leave the court and could not disobey her parents' orders, she committed suicide by throwing herself..."

Another little maid was afraid that her credit would be snatched away by her companions, so she interjected: "The servant girl entrusted my elder brother to inquire about it. Apart from the things that Qinghong said that outsiders know, the elder maidservant also inquired about one thing. "

  Luo Sheng looked at the little maid who spoke, with a calm expression.

The little servant girl didn't dare to be foolish, and hurriedly said: "The elder maidservant heard about it from the coachman of Qian's family, saying that Miss Qian met Second Young Master Su by chance on the road, and she was so infatuated that she chased Second Young Master Su all the way to the outside of Su's residence. leave."

   Speaking of this, the little maid covered her mouth and smiled: "Although Jinsha has a lot of young ladies who secretly fall in love with Mr. Su, it is still rare for them to dare to chase after people as blatantly as this Miss Qian—"

  The little maid on the side gave her a yank: "Han Cui!"

  The maid named Hancui suddenly realized: what the cousin girl in front of me did is even more jaw-dropping than Miss Qian.

   Oops, how could I forget this in a hurry!

  The little servant girl turned pale with fright, and looked at Luo Sheng tremblingly.

  Luo Sheng still looked calm, and ordered Hongdou: "Take two taels of silver and give it to Hancui."

  Hongdou naturally complied.

  Han Cui's complexion improved after receiving the silver award.

  Qing Hong stared enviously at the silver key in Han Cui's hand.

  Two taels of silver, worth her money for several months.

   "Take another one or two and give it to Qinghong." After Luo Sheng gave the order, he signaled the two little maids to step back.

  The two little maids who received the silver reward went out and sat in the veranda. You looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all in disbelief.

  Han Cui squeezed the silver clasp, and said in disbelief, "It's so simple to get four taels of silver?"

  Two taels yesterday, and two taels today, add up to more than her half-year monthly payment.

   This is not to hand over the private money of parents.

  Qing Hong looked back at the door with her chin in her hands, and murmured, "Why do I think Cousin is not so...bad?"

  Han Cui spat: "Just give me the money?"

  Qing Hong carefully put away the silver box, rolled her eyes: "It's not good for the master who gave you the money, why should you beat and scold your master? Besides, it's not about the money..."

   Exactly why she felt this way, she couldn't tell.

  In the house, Hong Dou didn't feel sorry for the money she gave out, but sighed: "The girl is more careful than before."

  Luo Sheng frowned.

   Randomly rewarding the maid with seven or eight taels of silver is called careful planning?

  Hongdou hurriedly said in relief: "Miss, have you forgotten that we don't have much on hand, except money."

  When the governor sent the girl away, he gave a lot of banknotes. It's a pity that all the friends who went shopping with the girl in the past were not allowed to follow except her.

   Thinking of Kouer, another big maid who was nearly blind from crying before leaving, Hongdou felt lucky again.

  Luo Sheng was not interested in how much money Miss Luo had, so he waved his hand to signal Hongdou to back down.

  The sound of the door closing softly came, and it was very clear in the alone room.

  Luo Sheng sat at the square table, thoughtful.

  Miss Luo "threw herself in a bag" because of Second Master Su, and Miss Qian also committed suicide because of Second Master Su.

   Such a coincidence is really horrifying.

  She pursed her lips slightly, and dipped her tea in the table to write two words with her fingers.

   Those two words are exactly Su Yao.

  New books are not easy, dear friends, don't forget to vote.
