To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 7 Apricot Blossom Fertilizer

  Luo Sheng was mostly covered by flowers and trees, standing in the dark to hear the reputation.

   are the four of Sheng Dalang.

  Luo Sheng also smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

  I met four people by chance before, and the four people were too scared to eat at home. It seems that they went out for a while.

  Sheng Sanlang staggered, and was walking in the direction of Luo Sheng with the support of his brothers.

  Sheng Erlang's tone of hatred for iron and steel sounded: "Third brother, why are you saddened by the death of a woman who doesn't have you in her heart?"

  Sheng Saburo raised his head slightly, revealing red eyes under the moonlight.

   "Who is feeling sad, second brother don't talk nonsense."

   "Nonsense?" Sheng Erlang tapped Sheng Sanlang's shoulder with a folding fan, and said in a bad mood, "Then who has drunk this virtue? Isn't it just drinking to drown your sorrows?"

  Beside Sheng Dalang persuaded: "Second brother, third brother feels uncomfortable, so please don't say a few words."

  Sheng Erlang sneered: "I just can't see it. That Qian girl committed suicide because Su Yao couldn't get married. What is the third brother making trouble like this?"

  To commit suicide?

  Luo Sheng's eyes flickered slightly.

  Her eyes are like a pool of lake water, the shadows of flowers, branches and trees are reflected in it, with bright and dark ripples.

  Sheng Sanlang's face was flushed red, he didn't know whether he drank too much or he was ashamed, he shouted angrily: "Who is making trouble, today's wine is strong enough, can I have a few more sips?"

  Sheng Shiro yanked Sheng Saburo's sleeve: "Third brother, don't talk—"

  Sheng Saburo rubbed the top of his younger brother's head with his big hand like a palm fan: "Go ahead, you kid still want to talk?"

  It’s fine for the elder brother to talk too much, but the younger brother still wants to preach to him?

  Sheng Shiro blushed and stammered anxiously: "No, Cousin, Cousin is there!"

  The other three people stopped together, and when they saw Luo Sheng standing beside the flowers and trees in front of them, their expressions suddenly became colorful.

  Luo Sheng looked calm and nodded at the four of them, greeted them and walked forward with Hongdou without squinting.

  The wind was strong at night, and Luo Hua was swept away by the wind, just like the four people's desolate mood at the moment.

  Sheng Sanlang wiped his face, and asked blankly: "Cousin Luo heard what we said?"

  Sheng Erlang chuckled: "It's hard to say whether you heard other people's words, third brother, you had such a loud voice just now, you must have been heard."

  Saburo Sheng: "..."

  Luo Sheng returned to the room, washed and changed, changed into a snow-white jacket and leaned on the couch.

  Hongdou moved to the little house, sat down next to the master, and asked puzzledly, "Miss, why do you say you have a hidden disease of night travel?"

  Luo Sheng looked at the shadow cast by Basho on the green screen window, and calmly said: "Let the other party feel safe, so that the snake can be lured out of the hole."

  The little servant girl shook her head: "My servant doesn't understand."

  Luo Sheng looked at the little maid with a confused face, and smiled rarely: "You don't need to understand, just do as I tell you."

  She likes this unintelligent little maid.

  She has no memory of Miss Luo at all. Fortunately, she came to Sheng Mansion not long ago, so she doesn't have to worry about showing her feet in front of these people.

  If Miss Luo's personal servant girl is too clever, then she will be given a problem.

   Killing people and silence them is a bit unbearable after all.

   "Go and call those two little maids."

  Hongdou replied yes, and after a while, two little maids came in.

  The two little maids are both thirteen or fourteen years old. They are only responsible for some chores on weekdays, and they don't come into the back room when they are idle.

   "Cousin girl." The two little maids were photographed by Luo Sheng's lust, and saluted tremblingly.

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly, and said to Hong Dou: "Take four taels of silver, two taels per person."

  Hong Dou has seen her own girls spend a lot of money, so she took the money and threw it into the arms of the two little maids very readily. The two little maids were so shocked that they fell to their knees, and asked in unison: "Biao, what is the order of Miss Biao?"

  Could it be that the cousin girls are short of manpower, let them go to the street to grab some son?

  Although money is good, they can’t do this kind of thing.

  Luo Sheng confessed lightly: "Tomorrow you all go to the street—"

  One of the little maids shook her body and kowtowed: "My cousin, you can't do this kind of thing like a maidservant!"

  Luo Sheng paused.

  Hong Dou jumped up and began to scold: "Hey, what is the dream of the little hooves, it's your turn to rob people?"

   With her Hongdou here, how could the girl entrust such errands to others?

   This is an insult to her number one servant girl and thug!

  The eyes of the two servant girls straightened.

   Is it because they have little knowledge? When did it become a good job to go to the streets to **** a beautiful man?

Luo Sheng's tone was calm, and he was not at all disturbed by the reactions of the three servant girls. He continued to explain: "Tomorrow, go to the street and ask to see if there is a girl surnamed Qian who committed suicide. The more details the better. If you think It’s inconvenient to inquire by yourself, so you can ask your parents, brothers and friends to do it for you. The two taels of silver are for running errands, and whoever inquires about it tomorrow will be rewarded with another two taels of silver.”

  The two servant girls were greatly relieved when they heard that they were just inquiring about the news, and they said together: "Don't worry, Cousin, the servant girl will go and inquire about it tomorrow morning."

   After speaking, the two looked at each other, looking at each other with a hint of vigilance.

  Biao girl can say, whoever inquires more information tomorrow will have a reward of two taels, but the other party can't get it.

   Two little maids were eager to try and walked out of the room, Hongdou hurriedly asked: "Girl, why did you ask them to inquire about that?"

   "Curiosity." Luo Sheng lay down on his side, pulled over the brocade quilt and covered it up.

  The bedding exudes a familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance, and it is a new day in the blink of an eye.

  Luo Sheng opened his eyes early.

  The plantains shook outside the green screen window, and the crisp calls of kingfishers floated in.

  Hongdou was sleeping on the ground level of the Babu bed, and she was still sleeping soundly.

  Luo Sheng coughed lightly, and shouted, "Red beans."

   Obviously the voice was not loud, but Hongdou got up suddenly, rubbed his eyes and asked in bewilderment: "Girl, why did you wake up so early?"

  Luo Sheng curled the corners of his lips slightly: "It's getting late, it's time to go pay my respects to my grandmother."

  Hongdou suddenly lost sleepiness, and said in disbelief, "You never went to pay your respects before."

   That is, when she was in the capital, the girl would sleep until midnight before getting up. After eating and drinking, she would take her and a few servant girls to wander the streets.

  What is hello?

  Luo Sheng glanced at Hongdou, and said indifferently, "I haven't visited Ghost Gate before, but it's different now."

  Seeing this, Hongdou felt awe-inspiring, but couldn't explain why, so she hurriedly helped Luo Sheng wash and dress.

  The two master and servant walked out of the courtyard and walked slowly towards Funing Hall.

  Shengfu is a typical Jiangnan scenery, graceful and elegant, with clusters of flowers everywhere.

  Hong Dou took a breath of fresh air, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Shengfu is small, but the garden in the morning looks pretty good."

  Luo Sheng walked forward slowly without commenting.

  Hongdou stopped suddenly: "Girl, please wait a moment."

  Luo Sheng stopped, and saw the little maid running to an apricot tree with her skirt in her hand, tiptoed off a bunch of apricot blossoms and came back.

   "Girl, the apricot blossoms are blooming well. May I pick a few for you to put in your hair?"

  Luo Sheng's gaze fell from the little girl's flushed face to the blossoming flower, and she nodded slightly: "Okay."

  Hongdou pinned a circle of apricot flowers around Luo Sheng's bun, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Girl, two cousins ​​are here."
