To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 41 Heavy Rain

   Wei Han galloped on his horse and quickly left Luo Sheng and his party far behind.

  The green hills and green trees remain unchanged in front of us.

  The horse gradually slowed down.

  The guard dragged the rein and approached, and couldn't help asking doubts in his heart: "Master, what do you want a fancy dagger for?"

   Wei Han glanced at the guard expressionlessly, and felt that the dagger in his arms was very tight.

  How did he know what to do with this fancy dagger!

  He mentioned this dagger, implying that he recognized Miss Luo as the masked woman that night, and wanted to see the other party's panic to make sure.

  Unexpectedly, the other party readily took out the dagger and wanted to sell it to him—— Wei Han's face turned colder as he thought about this.

   "I always feel that you are at a loss. Although you didn't spend any money, you still have to do something for Miss Luo. If someone else spends 30,000 taels of silver to ask you to do something, you won't be able to get it."

   "Whispering! I care about myself." Wei Han couldn't bear it, and scolded him with a cold face.

  Does this **** have to remind him repeatedly that he dug a hole and jumped into it?

  The guards misunderstood what Wei Han meant.

   Self-care?

  Wait, did he overlook something?

  The girl's exquisite eyebrows and eyes flashed through the guard's mind.

   That's right, he had guessed before that the master might like Miss Luo, but he couldn't believe that the master was such a superficial person, but now he had to believe it.

   Otherwise, how do you explain that the master insisted on getting the girl's dagger?

   Looking at the master's stern profile, the guards were full of admiration.

   They all said that their master might die alone, which is simply nonsense.

   "Master, do you want a box for the dagger Miss Luo gave you?"

   "Huh?" Wei Han turned his head to look at the guard with doubts in his eyes.

  He couldn't understand that girl, why couldn't even his own guard understand.

  What is the meaning of having a box for a dagger that is held in place while pinching its nose?

  Under Wei Han's watchful eyes, the guard smiled: "It's not good to lose this token of love or lose a gem—"

   Wei Han paused for a moment, then sprinted away, leaving the guards with a bad nose.

   In the blink of an eye, three days later, Luo Sheng and his party got farther and farther away from Jinsha, and closer to the capital.

   There are only eight people left in this team, and the four missing guards stayed in the previous town to recuperate.

  Sheng Saburo touched his belly quietly, and leaned over to the window of the carriage: "Cousin, should we have dinner?"

  Woooooh, he wants to eat beggar's elbow. If you don't have a beggar's elbow, you can just drink a pot of bone soup.

  Hong Dou couldn't help but roll his eyes: "My cousin, we haven't even had breakfast for an hour."

   "Is there?" Sheng Sanlang looked puzzled, "Why did I feel it for a long time?"

  Luo Sheng held the green curtain with his hand, and raised his chin slightly: "Cousin, look at the sky, let's hurry up."

  Sheng Saburo looked up, he didn't know when the blue sky and white clouds had turned into clouds and mountains, and the wind was surging.

   They have already encountered a rain on this journey, and the feeling of driving in the rain is not pleasant.

   "Speed ​​up." Sheng Sanlang shouted.

  The speed of the chariots and horses increased, but the sky became faster. Just now, the sea of ​​clouds was white, but suddenly it turned into dark clouds and rolling thunder.

   Then a flash of light split the thick clouds, and a bean-heavy rain fell.

  The rain fell fast and heavily, and the endless rain curtain blurred the sight of pedestrians, and the muddy road made it difficult for horses and horses to walk in the wind and rain.

   "Cousin, I see a house ahead, let's take shelter from the rain." Sheng Sanlang wiped away the rainwater and shouted through the rain curtain.

  Luo Sheng would not object.

  In this case, you can't go too far on the road, and people will suffer in vain.

  With a goal, everyone came to the spirit, and the speed of slowing down due to the heavy rain was accelerated for a while, and it was only when the house was near that they found out that it was a ruined temple.

  It is said that it is a ruined temple, so it is no problem to take shelter from the rain, and it also avoids the trouble of obtaining the consent of the host.

  The carriage stopped, and Hongdou jumped off first holding the oil-paper umbrella, and turned around to help Luo Sheng down.

  Xiuyue followed closely behind, holding a bamboo umbrella by herself.

  Hongdou moved the umbrella to Luo Sheng's direction, and by the way, gave Xiuyue a big roll of her eyes.

  The girl is eccentric!

   There are two umbrellas in the carriage, and the girl actually proposed to use one for the ugly mother-in-law.

  Obviously she was the most favored maidservant, even when the girl was sent away, the governor only allowed one servant, and the girl chose her.

  She won by stepping on the tears of Kerr's little hooves, what is the ugly mother-in-law?

  Bah, a tofu nao seller!

  The little girl's heart seemed to be soaked in a boiling vinegar pot, and she still didn't calm down until she entered the ruined temple.

  The ruined temple has been abandoned for a long time, and even the statues that were originally enshrined are gone. The altar was missing a leg and fell to the ground, and there was a lot of dry firewood piled in the corner.

  The dry firewood made Sheng Saburo and others overjoyed, and hurriedly cleaned up a place and lit a fire.

  Looking at the leaping flames, Sheng Sanlang smiled at Luo Sheng: "Cousin, such a hot fire is idle, why don't you put a pot on it and get something to eat?"

  Luo Sheng was silent.

   I didn't expect "idle" to be used like this.

  Looking around, seeing that everyone except them who got out of the carriage was drenched, Luo Sheng nodded: "Let's make a pot of **** tea to drive away the cold."

  Sheng Saburo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Then he thought that it would be nice to have a few sips of sweet **** tea on a rainy day, so he hurriedly directed the two guards to carry things on the carriage.

   Not long after, the strong smell of **** tea began to waft in the ruined temple, and the clothes on Sheng Sanlang and others were half dried.

  Red beans first filled a bowl for Luo Sheng, then filled a bowl for Sheng Saburo and the others one by one, and finally served a bowl of **** tea and drank it happily.

   "Red beans, you still missed a bowl." Luo Sheng reminded while holding the hot porcelain bowl.

   "Shaosheng? No—" Hongdou seemed to have just noticed Xiuyue, and slapped her forehead, "Oh, I forgot about the ugly mother-in-law. But you have hands and feet, the ugly mother-in-law, don't you mind doing it yourself?"

  Drinking **** tea, Sheng Saburo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

  The little girl Hongdou is only suitable for akimbo and scolding, not for acting at all.

   Too exaggerated!

  Xiuyue is already in her thirties, so naturally she won't argue with a little girl, she silently poured a bowl of **** tea and sat aside to drink it.

   Taking a sip of **** tea with honey, the corners of Xiuyue's eyes became slightly wet.

  The princess once made **** tea for the princess. In addition to honey, the princess also likes to add some white pepper, just like the bowl of **** tea in front of me.

  Luo Sheng suddenly glanced at Xiuyue and asked, "Does the ugly mother-in-law have a name?"

  Xiuyue clapped her hands and smiled: "The old woman has such an appearance again, she is used to hearing people call me ugly mother-in-law."

  Luo Sheng shook his head: "That won't work. Since you have followed me, I don't like it when someone calls you that."

  Xiuyue lowered her eyes: "Then please ask the girl to give you a name."

  It doesn't matter what a name is, she will always be Xiuyue, the eldest maid of the princess.

  Luo Sheng drank the last sip of **** tea, and handed the bowl to Hongdou: "Then call me Xiugu."

   It will be on the shelves at the beginning of next month, and it will be stable and double-updated by then.
