To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 112 Open source again

   "I'm afraid it won't end if it gets too big, so I'll cause trouble for my cousin." Yang could hear the reproach in Changchunhou's tone, and his cousin yelled out.

  When the Marquis of Changchun heard this cousin, most of the anger accumulated by the gossip he had heard along the way could not help but dissipate.

   What he loves is Yang's tender temperament.

  Mr. Yang is his cousin, and they grew up as childhood sweethearts. He has long seen the love for him from his cousin's eyes.

  Later, Princess Huayang became his wife.

   Princess Huayang is noble and beautiful, with an extraordinary bearing, and the housekeeper is also a good hand. There was nothing dissatisfied at first. But as time goes by, it's a pity that I'm not submissive enough to my wife.

  Later, the princess became pregnant, so she declined her mother's proposal to serve him with a maid.

  That was the first time he had an argument with his wife, and after that it was a cold war for many days, until he bowed his head to coax.

  The eldest daughter had another eldest son within two years after she was born, and because the princess didn't want to, he had to keep her alone.

  At that time, he discovered that his cousin's gentle temperament was more attractive to him.

  The cousin is not as beautiful or noble as the princess, but she is obedient and considerate to him.

   "Cousin—" Sensing that Marquis Changchun was distracted, Yang yelled.

  She knows exactly when to call him Marquis and when to call him cousin.

  Every call of cousin reminds him of the dead Princess Huayang.

  She is not afraid that he will think of a dead person, because what that woman left him most deeply is pride and coldness, and countless long and difficult nights.

  Every time he recalls it, he thinks more of her kindness. Thinking of her kindness, no matter how big the anger is, it will take half of it away.

  The Marquis of Changchun came back to his senses, and his tone was much more relaxed: "I'll go to the Governor's Mansion."

  Mr. Yang nodded submissively, and led Changchun Hou to the gate of the courtyard without seeing his back, and then returned to the house.

   "Isn't the governor in the mansion?" After hearing the words of the members of Luo's family, the Marquis of Changchun felt depressed.

   If you are not in the mansion, then you are in the Yamen.

  As soon as he wanted to go to Jinlinwei, the Marquis of Changchun was a little apprehensive.

  Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to visit the Jinlinwei Yamen.

   "Although our governor is not in the mansion, the third girl said that if Lord Hou comes, please come in."

  The Marquis of Changchun pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then please tell the third girl that the Marquis of Changchun is here to pick up the dog and return to the residence."

  Luo Sheng was waiting in the flower hall, when he heard footsteps, he couldn't help tightening his hand holding the teacup.

  She didn't see her second brother-in-law that time in the Lin Mansion, but she didn't expect to see her eldest brother-in-law at her home today.

  Big brother-in-law—Luo Sheng read these three words silently, thinking of Xu Qi who was brought up like that, he could only be ironic.

   "Girl, the Marquis of Changchun is here."

  The Marquis of Changchun followed the guides into the flower hall, and saw a girl in plain clothes drinking tea with downcast eyes.

  The young girl has snow skin and black hair, and she is as quiet as a painting. She is nothing like the domineering girl Luo in the rumors.

  The Marquis of Changchun hesitated for a moment.

  He was visiting to ask for someone. If he found the wrong person, it would be embarrassing.

  Luo Sheng glanced at Changchun Hou lightly.

  A man in his thirties is in his prime, compared to the embarrassment that he tried to cover up but couldn't completely cover up when he was eighteen or nineteen years old when he went to Zhennan Wangfu to greet his relatives, he only remained calm.

   Looking at these years, I feel very comfortable.

  Luo Sheng's face darkened.

  Her sister died, her little nephew was raised stupid, but this man was rosy and complacent, and she felt uncomfortable watching him!

  Luo Sheng put the teacup on the coffee table, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did Lord Hou come to pick up your son?"

  Hou Changchun was stunned.

  Now he can be sure that this is Miss Luo, and she is so confident and preemptive in taking someone else's son back to the mansion. No lady of the family can do it.

   "It's a bit late. I don't know where the dog is now?"

   "The doctor just saw him, and he is resting in my yard now." Luo Sheng nodded slightly against Hongdou who was standing on the side, "Hongdou, show the bill to Lord Hou."

bill?

  Hou Changchun was taken aback again.

   Fortunately, after not being confused for a long time, the little maid presented a list.

  Changchunhou took it subconsciously, and his voice changed after a cursory glance: "Five thousand taels?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "This includes the doctor's consultation fee for your son, the medicine fee, the bed use fee, and the servant's service fee... Isn't five thousand taels too much?"

   Is five thousand taels too much?

  The Marquis of Changchun almost laughed angrily: "Miss Luo, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Passed?" Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid Hou Ye didn't know that your son suffered a serious internal injury, and he was fine after taking a pill that I have treasured for many years. This pill alone is worth four thousand taels. Your son looks at it." I was lying on a high-quality sandalwood bed during the consultation, and it was worth one thousand taels if it was less. I can never use the bed that your son slept on. You don’t care about this loss, Lord Hou, as a father. Do you want me to do good deeds with good intentions? People are carrying it?"

  The Marquis of Changchun was dumbfounded.

  Luo Sheng gave him a disdainful look, and then said: "The pill plus the bed fee is five thousand taels. I paid for the consultation fee and the servant's service fee. Is there anything that Hou Ye is not satisfied with?"

   "Miss Luo, what kind of medicine is worth four thousand taels?" Marquis Changchun couldn't help asking.

   This is blackmail!

  Luo Sheng sneered and shook his head, as if looking at an iron rooster: "Master Hou, it's meaningless for you to say that. Could it be that the medicine to save your son's life isn't worth four thousand taels in your heart?"

   "But—" Marquis Changchun couldn't continue, his face was very ugly.

  If it is a life-saving elixir, it can be worth as much as it is worth, but why do you need life-saving if it is just a few children who were injured in a fight?

   But there is no way to say this.

  Now that Qi'er is in Miss Luo's hands, even if she sees someone alive and kicking later, the other party insists that she must have taken the life-saving elixir, so where can she reason?

Looking at the unpredictable expression of Marquis Changchun, Luo Sheng bent his lips and smiled: "It's alright if the Marquis is reluctant to part with the money, then leave your son in Luo's house, anyway, I can afford it, so I don't have to go back with you later." He lost his life at a young age because he had no money to take medicine.”

  Hou Changchun suddenly changed color.

  He came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to pick up his son, but he didn't take him away. When people inquired that he was reluctant to spend money to be kept by Miss Luo, the Changchun Hou Mansion really lost face.

   Came into the girl's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Changchun Hou nodded with a sullen face: "Five thousand Lianghou's house is out."

  Luo Sheng showed a gratified smile: "It's good that Hou Ye can afford it. I thought that if Mr. Xu has a stepmother, he will have a stepfather. There is no one who loves him."

   "Miss Luo, don't want red lips and white teeth to ruin my wife's reputation."

Hong Dou spat: "You don't want to wrong our girl. Our girl beat off the people who beat up your son and sent your son home. I didn't expect that your wife came out to pick him up when we arrived at the door. Finally, we waited Your wife is willing to come out, our girl told her that your son has been bullied, but she actually said it was a matter of the Hou family, thinking that our girl is meddling in other's business."

The little girl clicked her tongue and said, "I said that without thanking you. Is this the reaction that a mother should have? Even those who watched the excitement couldn't bear it and said a few words of justice. I didn't expect your wife to pass out. We The girl saw that your son was left alone, so she was kind enough to save him to the end, so she had no choice but to take her home and ask a doctor for treatment. But she never expected that the father who came to pick him up would be reluctant to pay for the medical expenses!"

   "Hong Dou, don't be rude, Master Hou has already said that he will pay the money."

  The Marquis of Changchun couldn't stay any longer, and said in a deep voice, "This Marquis has issued an IOU, so I will take the dog back to the residence now."

   "IOU?" Hongdou raised her voice, looking incredulous, "Master Hou gave our girl an IOU? Is this appropriate?"

   Tsk tsk, I really thought I could give girls IOUs like King Kaiyang did.

  Old and ugly and doesn't take a good look in the mirror!

  The Marquis of Changchun clenched his fists, his veins protruded, and he gritted his teeth: "Then I will write a letter, and Miss Luo will send someone to bring the letter to the Hou's mansion to collect money."

   "Okay." Luo Sheng smiled and nodded.

   Half of the money spent on buying makeup shops will be earned back, so open source is still very important.

   Governor Luo, who had sent someone to watch the movement at home, was also shocked when he got the news.

   "Sheng'er didn't speak soft words to the Marquis of Changchun, but also took five thousand taels of silver from the Marquis of Changchun?"

   It depends on this day how the monthly ticket ranking of the new book will be. Dear friends, please vote for "Happy Palm".
