To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 10 Variables

  The people in Shengfu discovered that the cousin girl had changed.

  In the past, the cousin girl slept until the sun was high, and then took the big maid Hongdou to wander the streets, but now she can't be shaken and comes to Funing Hall to pay her respects to the old lady.

  Once early, once late, every time never fails.

  Since the day when the cousin changed, Mrs. Sheng hasn't seen a few grandchildren during the time of paying her respects.

  The eldest wife and the second wife explained to the old lady Sheng with a dry smile in private: "The children have a lot of homework recently..."

   Mrs. Sheng didn't believe a word about this.

  What homework is tight? It is obvious that since she announced that she would choose one of the four grandchildren for her granddaughter, the two daughters-in-law were frightened.

  What can this little guts accomplish!

  Old lady Sheng had despised her daughters-in-law in her heart, and looked at the granddaughter who came to pay her respects every day before her, and she looked more amiable.

  It's better to come to pay her respects than to run to the street and **** back a grandson-in-law for her.

   People, contentment and happiness.

  The contented old lady Sheng was so happy that she ordered her maid to fetch a pair of bracelets for Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng put away the bracelet and blessed himself: "Thank you grandma for the reward."

  Old lady Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

  The granddaughter grew up in the brocade pile, but fortunately she didn't express her disgust in public, otherwise where would she put her old face?

  Old lady Sheng's tone became softer unconsciously: "Go back and rest."

   After speaking, she glanced at the two granddaughters, and the old lady's tone became more casual: "You guys go down too."

   There is no need to coax the ones raised at home, whoever dares to come and beat them up.

  Sheng Jiayu stomped her feet angrily as soon as she came out of Funing Hall: "Grandmother is really eccentric. We haven't seen any compliments for more than ten years, but Luo Sheng doesn't go to the streets to hang out. That's rare."

  Sheng Jialan gently pulled Sheng Jiayu's sleeve, and whispered to persuade: "Sister, don't be angry, grandma is happy to see that her cousin has changed."

"Correct?" Sheng Jiayu sneered, "Second Sister, have you forgotten what we heard that day by the lake? Luo Sheng just can't change and eat shit. Just wait and see, she might attack Second Young Master Su one day. "

  Sheng Jialan's eyes were gloomy, and she clenched her hands tightly in her wide sleeves: "Sister, don't talk about it. If it spreads to grandma's ears, grandma will be upset. Let's go back to the house."

  Sheng Jiayu nodded with a dark face.

  The two sisters passed by the lake and looked there subconsciously, and they caught a glimpse of a graceful figure.

  Sheng Jiayu curled her lips and sneered: "Why are you pretending to be in front of the water to see the flowers? I don't know how much bad water is simmering in my stomach."

   "Sister, let's go." Sheng Jialan pulled Sheng Jiayu, but before leaving, she glanced back quietly.

  The girl was sitting by the lake, resting her chin on the lake in a daze.

  There is no shadow of the maid Hongdou around her, only two white geese swimming around leisurely.

  Sheng Jialan's eyes flickered slightly.

  Alone—the opportunity she's been waiting for may have arrived.

   "What's the second sister's plan today?"

  Sheng Jialan's expression returned to normal, she softly smiled and said, "I caught a cold yesterday, but now my head is still hurting, I want to go back to my room and sleep."

   "I still want to ask my second sister to go to Yurongtang together." Sheng Jiayu was a little disappointed, and quickly laughed, "Then let's go when the second sister gets better tomorrow."

"good."

  The two sisters separated beside a clump of rhododendrons and went back to Xiulou respectively.

  Soon after, Sheng Jialan, who originally said she was going to go back to sleep, quietly came down another staircase, her figure was hidden among the lush trees in the garden, and she returned to the lake after a while.

  Standing behind the flowers and trees by the lake, Sheng Jialan looked at the lonely girl and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

   Luo Sheng is still alone!

   She has noticed for a long time that Luo Sheng always sits by the lake for a while when he comes out of Funing Hall these days.

  The time may be long or short, sometimes the master and servant chat casually, and sometimes order the maid named Hongdou to fetch the fruit plate, leaving a field of melon seed shells by the lake before leaving.

   Once she even saw Luo Sheng waiting there, and the little maid named Hongdou bounced around and brought a pack of smoked chicken.

  There was no smoked chicken in the kitchen that day, so it was obvious that it was bought from outside.

   Today Hongdou probably slipped out to go shopping again.

  Sheng Jialan stared at Luo Sheng's back with a gloomy and unpredictable expression.

   She started again, she hesitated too much.

  Suddenly, Sheng Jialan seemed to have noticed something, she couldn't help but took a step forward, and opened her eyes to look carefully.

  The girl sitting by the lake rests her chin on her hand, her head is like a chicken pecking at rice bit by bit.

  Chunyang sprinkled on her body, outlining the corners of her hair and skirt, forming a quiet and soft picture.

  Luo Sheng was actually dozing off!

  Sheng Jialan felt her heartbeat speed up suddenly, and quickly bit her lip hard to make up her mind.

   I can no longer hesitate, I am afraid that I will not have such a good opportunity if I miss today.

   Behind the flowers and trees, the girl has a slender figure, but the sullen expression on her face makes her look weak.

  Sheng Jialan's eyes were gloomy, and she walked towards the lake with the corner of her skirt in her hand.

  It's getting closer, getting closer, but Luo Sheng is still dozing off, unaware.

  Sheng Jialan's footsteps were so light that she almost made no sound. Standing behind Luo Sheng, she curled her lips, and her thunderous heartbeat actually calmed down.

  Luo Sheng is an idiot, she really doesn't have to hesitate for so long!

  Sheng Jialan held out her hand.

  A fourteen-year-old girl with fair and soft hands, but at this moment she is swimming towards people like a pair of poisonous snakes.

  The pair of white geese on the lake suddenly called.

  Sheng Jialan panicked and pushed Luo Sheng's back hard.

  With a loud splash, the unsuspecting Luo Sheng was pushed into the lake.

  The corners of Sheng Jialan's lips curled up, and a smile spread.

   Sure enough, it was as simple as that time and succeeded, but it's a pity that the last time was not lucky——

  A scream froze the smile on Sheng Jialan's lips.

"What are you doing? Come on, the second cousin pushed our girl into the lake!" The high-pitched scream broke through the sky, frightening two white geese to fly ashore, and the food box in Hongdou's hand fell to the ground, and ran over .

  Sheng Jialan turned around stiffly, as if seeing a ghost.

  Red beans running to the lake kicked Sheng Jialan into the lake.

  At the same time, a figure jumped into the lake, struggling to swim towards the ups and downs of Luo Sheng.

  Just going to grab the red beans from my girl and blink.

   Oh, it's the young master!

   This is terrible, is she going to help the girl, or save the young man?

  The little maid hesitated for a moment, let go of her throat and shouted: "Help, help—"

  People who heard the movement came one after another, and the garden quickly became chaotic.

  In the water, Luo Chen, who grabbed Luo Sheng's wrist, sipped and warned: "Don't struggle!"

  Luo Sheng opened his eyes, looking at the pale-faced young man, there was finally a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  Luo Chen actually jumped into the lake to save this sister?

  This is really the only variable in her plan.

  Luo Sheng sighed softly in his heart: With this child's small body going into the water to save people, I'm afraid there will be trouble.

  She just thought about it, and saw the boy's face pale and sinking, but those hands pushed her up hard.

  Luo Sheng let out an inaudible sigh, put one arm around Luo Chen, and pushed towards Hongdou.
