To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 2 The twisted melon is not sweet

  The atmosphere in the Su family across the street from Shengfu was very tense.

  In the house, the eldest wife of the Sheng family and the mistress of the Su family were discussing their marriage, while in the yard stood a few juniors, all of them with angry faces.

   "Second brother, why don't you go in and tell mother, what if mother really agrees?" A girl in a green shirt looked anxious and tugged at the sleeve of a boy.

  The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was Su Yao, the second son of the Su family. He was a well-known handsome man in Jinsha County and even Jinling Mansion. He looked like Pan An and Song Yu.

  Su Yao supported the magnolia tree in the courtyard full of flowers, and looked calmly at the door of the house.

  Another girl in a pomegranate skirt snorted, and said angrily: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, how can mother agree to someone like Luo Sheng?"

  Miss Su glanced at her younger sister, and lowered her voice: "Don't forget Luo Sheng's identity!"

  The second girl Su froze, stomping her feet angrily: "So what, our Su family is not ordinary people, so why is Second Brother's marriage still being persecuted?"

  The Su family is a prominent family in Jinsha, and they cultivated and studied in the heirloom. Over the past hundred years, there have been many court officials, and no one in the local area would dare to mess with them.

  But Luo Sheng's father is the governor, in charge of Jinlinwei, so why does he care about this?

  Miss Su felt a little annoyed at her sister's naivety when she thought about it.

  At this moment, Su Yao said, "Don't quarrel, two younger sisters. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Mother will take care of it for me."

  His gentle voice and calm expression made the two girls even more anxious.

   "What if my mother nods?" Miss Su asked, biting her lips.

  Su Yao turned his eyes to the door of the house again, his eyes darkened: "Then listen to mother."

   "Second Brother!" The two girls shouted together.

  The sound of hurried footsteps came, and the three of them looked over, and it was the younger brother who was standing at the gate running over.

  Brother Su is only eight or nine years old, his cheeks flushed from running, and he said loudly: "It's not good, Luo Sheng is here!"

   It seemed that what came was not a girl, but a scourge.

  Su Yao stroked Su Xiaodi's head, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't call her by her name, call her Miss Luo, or Sister Luo."

  When Luo Sheng walked over, he happened to hear this faint voice.

   Mild, but not much warmth.

  Miss Su Er dashed forward, stood in front of Su Yao, and shouted, "What are you doing here?"

  Luo Sheng looked at her, as if he saw a nobleman standing in front of the beautiful woman, scolding the apprentice who wanted to rob the woman.

  The beautiful woman—Luo Sheng's eyes fell on Su Yao.

  The young man was wearing a moon-white gown, his complexion was like jade, and his hair was as long as a crow. He was thinner and more eye-catching than the magnolia trees behind him.

  Su Yao was about to frown when he realized that Luo Sheng's eyes had moved away from him.

  Luo Sheng stared at the door of the house and said: "I heard that my eldest aunt was discussing my marriage with Mrs. Su, so I came here."

Miss Su was so angry that her hands shook, she pointed at Luo Sheng and cursed: "How can you say such a thing! It's not enough to force the Sheng family to propose a marriage with death, but you actually came in person. In this world... How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world?" people!"

  The little girl had tears in her eyes.

  She was really going crazy, but the elders told her not to provoke Luo Sheng, saying that it would cause trouble for the Su family.

  Miss Su held her younger sister's hand and looked a little calmer: "Miss Luo, the elders are discussing matters right now, you should go back and wait for news."

  You are not welcome in the Su Mansion, you are polluting the Su family by standing here.

  Miss Su didn't say these words, but she didn't know how many times they circled them in her heart.

   "Follow me back!" Luo Chen chased after him, angrily grabbing Luo Sheng's wrist.

  Luo Sheng didn't move.

  Under the watchful eyes of the brothers and sisters of the Su family, Luo Chen's face burst into heat, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Do you really want to stay here to shame yourself?"

  Luo Sheng patted Luo Chen's head, and said calmly: "I'll go in and talk before I leave."

  The thirteen-year-old boy was an inch shorter than the tall Luo Sheng before he reached his height. Luo Sheng made such movements inexplicably harmoniously.

  Everyone forgot to respond, including Luo Chen whose head was being touched.

   Until Luo Sheng's back disappeared at the door of the house, Luo Chen who reacted turned pale with anger.

  Her, how dare she touch his head!

  The little girl Hongdou who didn't follow along smiled and explained for Luo Sheng: "Our girl likes you."

   Girls wouldn't take a look at them if they were ugly, even if they were their own brothers.

  Luo Chen's face turned from white to red, and he uttered a word coldly: "Get lost!"

  He needs Luo Sheng to like him? Such a sister, if he can save him from losing a little bit, he should be grateful.

   "Ahem—" Luo Chen coughed because his emotions were too agitated.

  Luo Chen is weak, so he was sent to live in Jinsha, where the climate is pleasant, when he was young. Everyone who is familiar with the Sheng family knows this.

   Seeing this, the brothers and sisters of the Su family became concerned and inquired.

  At this moment, Sheng Jiayu arrived, looked around and asked, "Where's Luo Sheng?"

  Miss Su said lightly: "Go in."

Second Miss Su has a good relationship with Sheng Jiayu, and she spoke unabashedly: "Sister Jiayu, why didn't you stop her and let her come to my house like this. Heh, this is because I was afraid that my mother would disagree, so I went to the battle to discuss the marriage in person. .”

  Sheng Jiayu's face flushed with embarrassment at what she said, and Luo Chen couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.

   "I'll take her back!" Luo Chen strode towards the door.

  In the east room, Mrs. Sheng Da and Mrs. Su were equally astonished when Luo Sheng came in.

   "Why is Biao Miss here?" Mrs. Sheng Da asked softly, but her heart was filled with overwhelming disgust.

   She has never seen such a girl in her life!

  The Sheng family and the Su family have a good relationship, and the two families have frequent exchanges. She has been a guest in this room countless times, but she has never been as uncomfortable as she is now, and her face has been swept away.

  If someone told her son a girl like Luo Sheng, she would want to pick up the vase and throw that person out.

   She is the one doing such disgusting things now.

   But what can be done, Luo Sheng even hanged himself for the sake of the second son of the Su family, whether it is true or not, in case something goes wrong, how will the Sheng family explain to Governor Luo?

  By that time, not to mention the Sheng family, even the Su family may not be able to escape the disaster of ruining their family.

   Knowing the consequences, Mrs. Su almost nodded her head in agreement despite her reluctance.

  What is Luo Sheng doing here at this time?

  Luo Sheng bowed his knees and bowed to Mrs. Sheng Da and Mrs. Su, and said, "Auntie, I'll take you home."

  Mrs. Sheng Da was shocked by Luo Sheng's never-before-seen etiquette, and couldn't help asking: "Does Miss Biao know what I'm here for?"

  The corners of Luo Sheng's lips curved slightly: "I know that my aunt is here to discuss my marriage with Mrs. Su's wife, but let's let this marriage go."

   "Why?" Shocked, Mrs. Sheng Da and Mrs. Su asked in unison.

  At the door, Sheng Jiayu and the others were surprised.

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Because twisted melons are not sweet. Auntie, let's go back."

  Until Luo Sheng and the others left, the second girl Su still had an expression of seeing a ghost, and said in disbelief: "She also knows that a twisted melon is not sweet?"

  The new issue is updated every day. Seedlings need the help of recommendation votes, thank you for voting for Zhanghuan.
