To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 333 Unruly

  Xu Qi, her fifteen-year-old nephew, has already started patronizing the casino?

  This discovery made Luo Sheng's face darken, and he continued to listen to the whispered conversation between his cousins ​​with his ears up.

  Xu Qi obviously couldn't listen to the persuasion, frowned and said, "Why does my cousin care so much?"

  Because of the relationship of the grandfather's family, the Xu and Lin families hardly had much contact on the surface. Even if Lin Shu wanted to take care of his cousin, he spent most of his time in the academy and did not spend much time with Xu Xi.

  After hearing Xu Qi's words, Lin Shu's expression darkened: "I'm your cousin!"

  Xu Qi rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "More than my parents."

  Lin Shu took a deep breath.

   Can't rush—

   There is no way to be in a hurry, all his calmness has been lost to his cousin's bastard!

   "Grandfather has asked the head of the mountain, you will go to the academy to study after the new year, and then we will study together..." Lin Shu lowered his voice and said the arrangement.

  Xu Qi got annoyed when he heard it: "I won't go."

   "Cousin, don't be self-willed. You are only fifteen years old. Wouldn't it be good to read more books?"

   "What's the use of reading more?" Xu Qi asked rhetorically.

  Lin Shu stagnates.

  He has heard too many words like this.

  He has a reputation as a talented man, and he is highly valued by the head of the mountain. Some people like to say things like: Lin Shu is so talented, he is not even a scholar.

  He thought that if he heard such words too much, he wouldn't feel any more, but he still felt a little helpless when he heard his cousin say that.

  His presence seems to make the cousin even more depressed.

  Footsteps came.

  The two cousins ​​looked up subconsciously, and saw Luo Sheng coming to the table, and sat down expressionlessly.

  Xu Qi:?

  Looking at the cold female devil, he couldn't help trying to recall whether he had said something that would annoy her.

   After a quick thought, the boy calmed down.

   It’s okay, I didn’t speak ill of the female devil.

   It's none of Miss Luo's business for my cousin to discipline him.

  Lin Shu opened his mouth after being surprised: "Miss Luo, you—"

  He was earnestly admonishing his cousin, why did Miss Luo sit down?

   Sit down, just sit down, still expressionless...

   Wei Han, who was also expressionless, took a sip of wine silently.

   "Master Xu thinks reading is useless?" Luo Sheng said coolly.

  Xu Qi resisted the pressure and said: "It may be useful to others, but it is definitely useless to me."

  After his mother became the daughter of a criminal minister, some roads were doomed to be blocked. What's the use of hard work?

   Become a famous talent like his cousin, and then be sympathized by those people with malicious intentions?

  He feels that life is pretty good now. Since the incident with the female devil, there are fewer people who provoke him, and he has enough money to spend. Thinking too much is just asking for trouble.

  Luo Sheng chuckled: "It's really justified. If you read more books, you won't say such stupid things."

   "What does it have to do with you?" Xu Qise asked sternly, subconsciously grasping the edge of the table with both hands, ready to jump up and run at any time.

  Anyway, he was already half full, and he didn't want to fall into the hands of the female devil again.

  Luo Sheng didn't answer these words at all.

  For this kind of ignorant child, it is useless to reason and talk dry, so you have to beat him.

  Of course, this beating needs to be delayed.

   "You still have money to go to the casino now?"

  After hearing this, Lin Shu understood that Luo Sheng and him were on the same side. Immediately, she didn't feel uncomfortable because Miss Luo was sitting next to him, so she took a sip of rice wine.

  The scalded rice wine has been warmed up, and it is just sweet and spicy when it enters the throat.

  Cousin is so worried, he needs to adjust his mood, let's replace Miss Luo.

   Xu Qi looked away, curled his lips and said, "You didn't give the money either."

   "Who gave it to you?" Luo Sheng asked with a cold face.

  Xu Qi got stuck.

  Of course it was given by the family, but the female devil has a lot of opinions on the stepmother. What if I heard what he said and carried him to the door to make trouble?

  Actually, after that time, he didn't trust his stepmother as much as before. He just got money, why didn't he take it?

  Seeing that Xu Qi was silent, Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Understood, it was given by your stepmother."

   "I told you, it's none of your business." Xu Qi bit the bullet and said.

  What about what the stepmother gave?

   That is the money of the Hou Mansion, and he already has his share. What does an outsider care about so much?

   "Why is it none of my business? I don't like it when you say these stupid things in my wine shop."

  Luo Sheng's righteousness made Xu Qi stand up angrily: "If it wasn't for my cousin's forceful pull, do you think I want to come?"

  Seeing the young man shaking his hands and leaving, Luo Sheng said coldly: "Leave without paying the bill, do you want to eat the overlord's meal?"

   "Overlord meal?" Hongdou picked up the wine jar and rushed over as soon as Hongdou heard it.

  Xu Qi froze all of a sudden.

  Lin Shu hurriedly said: "Miss Luo, I'll just pay the bill."

  Luo Sheng glanced at him, and asked back: "Second Master Lin saved money for your cousin so that he can send him to the casino?"

   "Send it to the casino, I win money every time I go!" Xu Xi couldn't help retorting.

   If he really wants to lose money, he will not go.

   "Don't worry, I won't eat overlord's meal, pay the bill."

  Red beans fluently reported the number, and put down the hand holding the wine jar.

  Xu Qi endured the distress and slapped the banknote on the table, and strode towards the door of the restaurant.

  Lin Shu nodded apologetically at Luo Sheng, and hurriedly chased after him.

  The two figures quickly disappeared at the door.

  Luo Sheng lost his coldness and walked to the window.

  It was still snowing outside, and it was even heavier, and Yang Yang decorated the window into a world of ice sculptures.

  Through the window, you can see the two teenagers walking more and more anxiously, drifting away.

   Wei Han who was sitting by the window coughed lightly.

  Luo Sheng came back to his senses, and smiled at Wei Han: "Have you eaten, my lord?"

   Wei Han pursed his thin lips slightly, and finally hummed after a long time.

  Luo Sheng inexplicably felt a little wronged, but this did not affect her seeing off guests.

   "Then I will send the prince out."

   Wei Han's mood suddenly improved, but he rejected Luo Sheng's proposal: "No need to send it, it's cold outside."

  Luo Sheng nodded his head as good as he could: "Then, my lord, go slowly."

   "Master, your cloak." Shi Yan handed over the cloak with a wink.

   Wei Han reached out to take it, and strode out of the restaurant.

  The wind and snow hit his face, filling up the ink-colored cloak instantly, and as he strode forward, it fluttered down again, gently brushing the snow.

  The snow-white world, the black figure, and the hazy lights that dilute the night, all these fall in the eyes of Luo Sheng standing by the window, giving birth to the illusion of eternity.

  She suddenly felt that her eyes were a little dry, but she didn't know why.

  The man walking in the wind and snow suddenly stopped and turned around.

  The two looked at each other silently through the wind and snow.

  After counting breaths, Wei Han easily walked into the darkening night.

  Luo Sheng quickly sent someone out to inquire, and it didn't take long before he found out about the gambling shop that Xu Qi often went to, and the people he often hung out with.

  She didn't do anything immediately, but chose to wait.

   Waiting for Governor Luo to stand up will be a good time to deal with the little nephew and some people.

   Another few days passed, and Zhao Shangshu hurriedly entered the palace to meet the saint, bringing new progress of the case.
