To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 122 Two tasks

   Zhao Shangshu said inwardly that it was terrible.

  He obviously washed his beard carefully several times, why does it still have a scent?

  Old Shang wrote calmly: "Madam may have smelled it wrong, why does the beard smell good?"

   "That's right, why does the beard smell good?" Madam Shangshu approached her, raising her eyebrows, "Master, is he out of the restaurant?"

  Zhao Shangshu hurriedly said: "There is a treat!"

   "It doesn't matter if anyone treats you, master, tell me which street this restaurant is on and what's its name?"

   This is too fragrant, so it can be seen that the food in that restaurant cannot be wrong.

   "It's on Qingxing Street, called Youjian Restaurant."

   "Is there a restaurant?"

  Zhao Shangshu nodded: "Although the name is a bit straightforward, the wine and food are really delicious. By the way, this restaurant is opened by Luo Dadu's favorite."

   "That Miss Luo?" Mrs. Shangshu's voice suddenly rose.

   Zhao Shangshu hurriedly comforted him: "Ma'am, look at my beard, I'm not afraid of Miss Luo."

   Mrs. Shangshu glanced at her old man and nodded.

   That's right.

  But she originally wanted to try it, since the wine shop is opened by Miss Luo, so forget it.

   "Sleep." Mrs. Shang Shu rested her mind and lay down again.

  But the fragrance is still drilled towards the nose.

  Madam Shangshu opened her eyes and patted the person next to her pillow.

   "What's the matter?" Zhao Shangshu sighed.

  Satisfied with wine and food, let no one get a good night's sleep.

   "If the master goes again, bring some food home."

  She doesn't want to go, but she can let the master bring it back for a taste.

   Zhao Shangshu felt excited.

   Is this luck? He was ready to spend his private money, and there was such a good thing.

   "If madam wants to eat, then I will go there again tomorrow." Zhao Shangshu coughed lightly, "It's just that the price of wine and food is a bit expensive—"

   "There is a reason why you are expensive. The master will bring more money tomorrow."

   "Okay." Zhao Shangshu responded with full force.

  The next day.

  Supervisor Luo Dadu asked his servants: "Has the girl gone out?"

   "The girl is in the martial arts arena."

   Governor Luo thought so too.

  Sheng'er's restaurant is said to only be open for dinner, so naturally there is no need to go out too early.

  Road Governor Luo raised his feet and went to the martial arts arena.

  Luo Sheng is practicing archery.

  A bow, an arrow.

  When she bent the bow and shot the arrow for the unknown number of times, she naturally put all her heart into it.

   The feathered arrow hit the bull's-eye.

   "Good arrow skills!" Governor Luo Dadu clapped his hands.

  Luo Sheng turned around sharply, drew his full bowstring and was aiming at Governor Luo.

  Governor Luo was taken aback for a moment, then walked over with a smile, and patted Luo Sheng's hair very naturally: "Sheng'er, you're so confused after practicing archery."

  Luo Sheng's hand holding the bow trembled imperceptibly, and put away the bow and arrow.

   "Father suddenly clapped his hands, which startled me."

  Luo Dadu laughed: "Sheng'er is still worried about villains in the mansion?"

  Luo Sheng's tone was calm: "I met robbers on the way to Beijing, and I couldn't help being nervous after that."

   Governor Luo was very distressed when he heard it, and he said with relief: "Don't worry, Shenger, my father has sent your fifth brother to suppress the bandits. A few days ago, your fifth brother came back and said that the banditry along the way has been solved."

  Luo Sheng felt a little moved in his heart.

   This move is not for her, but for Miss Luo.

  Miss Luo has a father who loves her deeply.

  In this case—

  She thought for a while, then took something out of her purse and put it in the palm of Governor Luo: "Father has seen this thing?"

   Chief Governor Luo took a closer look, and saw that it was a mahogany axe no longer than three inches long.

   "Has father seen it?"

  Luo Dadu shook his head: "This kind of pendant is very common. To say it is special, it depends on whether the pattern on the mahogany ax has special meaning."

   "So, father didn't notice anyone wearing this thing?"

   "Why does Sheng Er ask this?"

  Luo Sheng handed the bow and arrow to Hongdou, and said in a deep voice: "On the way to Beijing, my daughter not only encountered robbers, but also encountered a chase."

   "What?" Governor Luo's face changed drastically, and he looked at the mahogany ax in his hand again, "Then this is—"

   "It was found from the person who chased and killed me."

  Luo Dadu's face was very ugly: "Why didn't you tell your father when you came back!"

  Luo Sheng lowered his eyes: "My daughter just returned home and heard that her father was seriously injured by an assassin and was in danger. Thinking of what happened on the road, she didn't dare to say a word, and only hoped that her father would get well soon."

   "Then it's good for the father, why didn't you hear me?"

  Ordinary robbers and chasers are different.

  Luo Sheng raised his eyes to look at Chief Governor Luo, with a blushed expression: "Later my father recovered, I... just forgot about it, and just remembered."

   It's not that she never thought of finding out who chased and killed Miss Luo with the help of Governor Luo, but she has no memory of Miss Luo after waking up, and all her judgments about Governor Luo come from the opinions of people around her.

  She can't just listen to what others say, she needs to judge with her own eyes and heart.

   Now she can be sure that Governor Luo's love for his daughter is not adulterated.

   Governor Luo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

   Forget it as soon as you say it, this is Sheng'er's style.

  The governor Luo put away the mahogany axe, and patted Luo Sheng: "Leave this matter to my father to investigate, Sheng'er, don't take it to heart."

  Luo Sheng nodded, and suddenly asked: "Father, have you offended many people?"

  As the commander of the Jinlin Guard, with so much blood on his hands, wouldn't Dreaming Back at Midnight really feel guilty?

  Governor Luo smiled: "Sheng'er doesn't have to worry about this, as his father is the commander of the Jinlin Guard, he is not afraid of offending anyone."

  Afraid of offending others, how could he be the commander of the Jinlin Guard.

   Governor Luo returned to the study, sat silently for a while, and ordered Ping Li and Yun Dong to be called.

  Pingli and Yundong arrived successively.

   "Fifth Master, the governor let you go in first."

  Yun Dong nodded slightly at Hiraguri, and walked into the study.

   "Why did the adoptive father call the child?"

   "Look this up and see what you can find." Governor Luo handed over the mahogany axe.

  Yun Dong glanced at it, but there was no response, so he accepted it and said yes.

   "Secretly investigate, don't let anyone know." Luo Dadu ordered Yundong to go out and Pingli to come in.

  Pingli and Yundong passed each other, smiled and walked into the study.

   "Hiragi, you have never left the capital, have you?"

  Hiragi was taken aback.

  Different from other adoptive sons, he has been assisting his adoptive father in managing Jinlinwei in the capital.

  Ye-father suddenly asked what was the meaning of this?

   "There is a very important matter that I don't feel comfortable entrusting to anyone after much deliberation. I want to entrust it to you."

   "Please give orders from foster father."

  Luo Dadu stretched his body, and said lightly: "You go to Jinsha and bring Chen'er back."

  Ping Li suddenly looked at Governor Luo, not concealing his surprise.

  Luo Dadu changed his stern expression: "You are the most important adopted son of the adoptive father, so I entrust this errand to you. If there is any mistake in Chen'er—"

  Pingli's heart shuddered, and he hurriedly said, "The child comes to see you!"

  Land Governor Luo looked relieved: "Go out."

  After the study door was closed, Governor Luo took out a letter from the drawer.

   A few days ago, he received a letter from Chen'er.

  Chen'er wrote in the letter that he was in good health and wanted to go home.

  He wouldn't have agreed, but now he's changed his mind.

Good morning.
