To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 113 Distressed (seeking a monthly ticket)

  Five thousand taels is not a small amount for the Marquis of Changchun. It is not a bone-shattering amount, but it is enough to feel heartache.

  The Marquis of Changchun took Xu Qi back to the mansion, feeling distressed and stuffy, and when he rested with Mrs. Yang at night, he couldn't help but get angry.

   "Miss Luo brought Xi'er to the gate of the Hou Mansion, why didn't you go out?"

  Mr. Yang is also in a bad mood.

  She is the mistress of the house, and she feels more distressed than the Marquis of Changchun when she suddenly lost five thousand taels.

  Although I am in a bad mood, I still have to endure the man who is the head of the family.

Yang lowered her eyes to suppress her anger, and said softly: "I didn't expect Miss Luo to be such a barbarian. I thought that a steward brought so many family members to show up, and I will go out and let those who watch the excitement give advice. And why bother—"

  However, Yang's gentleness didn't work this time.

   After all, five thousand taels of silver.

   "If Nan'er and the others were replaced, would you not go out?" Changchun Hou asked with a sullen face.

  If she had gone out at that time, what excuse would Miss Luo have to bring Xi'er back to the Governor's Mansion. Qi'er was not taken away by Miss Luo, how could he offer five thousand taels of silver to redeem her.

   Yang's eyes widened suddenly: "Cousin, are you saying I'm biased?"

  For so many years, Master Hou only said that she is virtuous and kind, and treats her stepson and parent-child equally. How has she ever criticized her like that.

   Never expected that Miss Luo would make such a fuss and take her anger out on her head.

   "Let's not talk about whether you are partial or not. After all, it is what you did not do that made people catch the handle." Changchun Hou said in a bad tone.

   This time, calling my cousin didn't work.

  Although the Yang family is a continuation, except for the first two years of being cautious when she first married the Marquis of Changchun, she can be called pampered later on.

  Over the years, she has been protected by her mother-in-law, loved by her husband, and respected by her servants. Gentleness and submissiveness are just a mask she is used to wearing.

  Being repeatedly criticized by the Marquis of Changchun, coupled with the five thousand taels of silver that the Marquis of Changchun felt sorry for with a swipe of a pen, Yang's anger could not be suppressed.

   "I know it's difficult for my stepmother. Over the years, I have treated Xi'er better than Nan'er and the others. I didn't expect that in the end, Master Hou still felt that I was partial—"

  Marquis Changchun got up, with a serious face: "I don't want to hear these today, you go to bed first."

  Seeing him walking out with his clothes on, Yang was stunned for a moment, and didn't realize it until he was about to reach the door.

   "Cousin, where are you going so late?"

  The Marquis of Changchun pushed open the door without looking back: "I'll go to Cuiniang's place to have a look."

  Watching Changchun Hou push the door and leave, the sound of footsteps gradually receding, Yang nearly gritted his silver teeth.

  She is Lord Hou's wife after all, but after arguing a few more words, he turned his face and went to the concubine's room!

  Mr. Yang went back to the bed and sat down, leaning against the screen and trembling with anger.

  She is different from Princess Huayang, and she also knows what her cousin is most dissatisfied with Princess Huayang.

   Therefore, after she married in, she was very happy and gave the dowry maid to her cousin as a roommate.

  Later, my cousin became a marquis, and someone gave me a beautiful concubine as a congratulatory gift. She was afraid that someone from outside would win my cousin's heart, so she took the initiative to send a perverted beauty to him.

   After coming and going, there are four concubines in my cousin's room, not to mention those concubines.

  She has never regretted it. Although my cousin has so many women, she is the one he loves the most, and spends most of the time with her.

  But today, Mrs. Yang was so aggrieved that she couldn't breathe.

  She is the wife of her cousin Mingmei, not those concubines, so why can't she say a word loudly, and can only be a petty servant for the rest of her life?

  Lonely in the long night, this night Yang could not sleep for a long time with his eyes open, and there were many emotions that he never had before.

  Compared to the dullness of Changchun Hou Mansion, Xianyun Garden shrouded in night is just like its name, relaxed and cozy.

  Ke'er took off the hairpin for Luo Sheng, and casually mentioned the day's affairs: "Young lady is really good at making money."

  Hongdou nodded triumphantly: "That's right. Ko'er, you haven't seen the soft and weak appearance of Mrs. Changchun Marquis. You can see that she is inconsistent with her appearance, and she is full of bad water."

  Kuer gave up when she heard it: "What's wrong with being soft and weak? Who does being soft and weak provoke? Hongdou, how many times have I said that judging people by their appearance..."

   "Okay, don't read it, I didn't mention you. You are really weak, don't you, Mrs. Changchun Hou saw that it was a black-hearted stone covered with a layer of rotten moss, pretending."

  Kuer was satisfied now, and smoothed Luo Sheng's hair: "Doesn't the girl like Mrs. Changchun Hou?"

"Um."

   "The servant girl has inquired about it. The Marquis of Changchun loves Mrs. Marquis Changchun very much. The husband and wife have never blushed before."

   "It's different this time." Luo Sheng opened his slightly closed eyes and said lightly, looking at the girl with loose long hair in the vanity mirror.

   "What's different?" Kerr asked casually.

  The corner of the girl's mouth in the mirror curled up slightly, with a cool smile: "Where are five thousand taels of silver?"

  It has nothing to do with interests on weekdays, so naturally it is hello and I am good, and the case is equal.

  Five thousand taels of silver is nothing to Miss Luo who plays with pearls as pellets, and it is not a small amount to any family.

  She asked the Marquis of Changchun five thousand taels, which was equivalent to biting a piece of his flesh.

  Knowing that it hurts, I get angry.

   When there is a fire, of course you need someone to vent.

  Thinking of Changchun Marquis Mansion, Luo Sheng couldn't help but think of Xu Qi. Thinking of Xu Qi, my mood sank a little.

  The girl in the mirror lost her smile and her eyes were deep.

  She doesn't expect her little nephew to be a dragon and phoenix, but at least she can't be a fool.

   Fortunately, the future is long.

   A few days later, Luo Sheng took Hongdou and others out, and went to check the situation in the liquor shop transformed from a makeup shop.

   Luo Sheng was quite satisfied with the remodeled restaurant, and Sheng Saburo was even more enthusiastic.

   "Cousin, is the restaurant about to open?"

   "It will take a while."

  Sheng Saburo looked around, puzzled: "Why do you have to wait? I think it's almost done."

  He can wait, the glutton in his stomach can't wait.

   "I brewed several jars of wine, and it will take some time to complete."

   "Cousin can still make wine?" Sheng Saburo's eyes lit up when he heard it.

  How can a man not drink well!

  The cousin would rather delay the opening of the restaurant for a few jars of wine, which shows that the wine must be delicious.

  Looking at Sheng Sanlang's longing eyes, Luo Sheng smiled: "How can there be no wine in a wine shop?"

  Sheng Saburo clapped his hands excitedly: "Yes, how can there be no wine in the restaurant. Then when will our restaurant open?"

  Hong Dou couldn't help reminding: "Biao Gongzi, you are the second child."

  It's obviously a girl's restaurant, so why is it ours?

  Sheng Sanlang didn't pay attention to the little girl's nonsense at all, he just waited for Luo Sheng to give him an accurate answer.

   "Just the eighth day of next month."

  The eighth day of next month?

  Sheng Saburo hurriedly counted with his fingers.

  Life is like years, he has to calculate how many years he has to wait to eat the dishes cooked by his cousin.

   "Excuse me, is this Miss Luo?" Luo Sheng and the others walked out of the restaurant, and a girl dressed as a maid came over and asked cautiously.

"I am."

  The servant girl bent her knees: "Our girl is in the teahouse opposite, and I would like to treat you to a cup of tea."

  Until yesterday, "Happiness in Hand" was still the first place in the new book monthly ticket, but today it fell to the third place. Although we are mentally prepared, we want to be in the top three even if we are not promising, so we ask for a monthly pass. I hope my dear ones will give "Happy Palm" a helping hand, and I would like to bow and thank you here.
