Chapter 28 Cousin's Mood
Cousin Luo made it?
The four brothers who left Luo Chen's yard fell into a life of doubt with the night breeze blowing.
Sheng Silang's face wrinkled into a ball: "Brother, you cast lots to not take me, did you know that Cousin Luo's cooking is delicious?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Sheng Erlang slapped Sheng Shiro, touched his chin and smiled at Sheng Sanlang.
Sheng Saburo looked wary: "What are you laughing at?"
Sheng Erlang put his hand on Sheng Sanlang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Third brother, I suddenly feel that it is too hasty to settle such an important matter of sending cousin Luo to Beijing by drawing lots. How about we draw lots?"
Sheng Saburo rolled his eyes: "Don't even think about it."
Cousin Luo’s stewed fish is so delicious, not to mention just sending Cousin Luo to Beijing, even asking him to marry Cousin Luo can be considered—don’t think about it, he is willing!
In the flower hall, Fu Song cleaned up the mess on the table, and weighed the flagon: "I didn't drink much."
Luo Chen smiled, but didn't respond.
Fu Song came curiously: "Young master, you invite several young masters to drink, do you want the third young master to take good care of Biao girl?"
"You don't have to worry about this." The boy left the flower hall with a sullen face and his hands behind his back.
There was silence in the courtyard, and the orange lights scattered in all directions, covering the vibrant green bamboos.
Luo Chen stood in the courtyard for a moment, pursing his lips and smiling.
He invited several cousins to drink, of course to make them regret it.
Humph, who made them despise his sister!
Thinking of Luo Sheng, the smile on the corners of the boy's mouth stopped, and he became sullen.
Leave as soon as you say, still so willful.
The next day was sunny, and the streets and alleys of Jinsha became lively in the early morning.
Two carriages were parked at the gate of Sheng Mansion, the first one was for people to ride, and the rear one was full of things. There were seven or eight guards standing beside the carriage, waiting for the masters to say goodbye.
"Sheng'er, remember to come back to see grandma when you have free time." Mrs. Sheng led a group of people to send Luo Sheng to the gate, holding Luo Sheng's wrist reluctantly.
Luo Sheng nodded slightly: "Yes. Grandma, go back to the house and rest."
"It must come." The corners of the old lady Sheng's eyes were moist, and she still held on to Luo Sheng.
The eldest wife hurriedly persuaded: "Old lady, let the cousin hurry up."
What if the cousin girl doesn't leave!
The old lady Sheng let go of her hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Let's go, pay attention to safety on the road, and write a safe letter to grandma when we arrive in the capital..."
Listening to Mrs. Sheng's eloquent advice, the first wife and the second wife looked at each other in blank dismay.
Seeing the old lady’s meaning is really sad? It shouldn't be.
Although it was inappropriate to think so, they wanted to set off firecrackers when they thought that the cousin girl was leaving.
Luo Sheng blessed Mrs. Sheng and the others: "These days are causing trouble for my grandmother, uncle, aunt, and second aunt."
Old lady Sheng was still wiping tears.
Uncle Shengda said warmly: "Uncle should have sent you off, but you couldn't get away."
As he spoke, he glanced at Sheng Saburo who had changed into brand new clothes, and put on a stern tone: "Take care of your cousin on the way, if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
Sheng Saburo smiled brightly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely send my cousin to the capital safely."
The second wife wanted to slap her son.
With such a hard job, why does this silly son look so happy?
Luo Sheng made another peer salute to Sheng Dalang and the others: "I'm also causing trouble for my cousins."
Sheng Dalang returned the salute: "I wish my cousin a good journey."
Sheng Erlang coughed lightly and said, "Why don't I give it to my cousin, the third brother is young after all—"
Sheng Saburo almost punched him, and stared, "No, I'll give it to you!"
The eldest wife and the second wife were stunned.
Luo Sheng glanced over Sheng Jiayu's face, and looked at Luo Chen who said nothing.
Twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is like a young bamboo, tall and straight and green, with the unique stubbornness of this age.
Appearance will still appear, but he made up his mind to ignore Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng walked over with a gentle tone: "You remember to take your medicine."
Luo Chen turned his face away.
"Then I'm leaving." Luo Sheng didn't care, and turned around.
As far as the deep sibling relationship is concerned, the original girl Luo didn't have it, let alone her. But if Luo Chen can jump into the lake to save his sister, then she will treat him like a younger brother.
Seeing that Luo Sheng was really about to leave, Luo Chen couldn't help shouting: "Wait a minute."
Luo Sheng looked at him.
The boy looked serious: "Don't cause trouble and be sent back by your father."
She doesn't care, he wants to save face.
"Got it." Luo Sheng smiled and raised his hand to rub the boy's head.
Luo Chen frowned and didn't hide.
Sheng Jiayu stood beside the eldest wife, watching Luo Sheng get into the carriage with red beans, hesitated to speak several times, but finally did not speak.
There was so much unhappiness, she and Luo Sheng really had nothing to talk about.
Let's go, Sheng Mansion will return to normal after leaving.
The carriage drove past the gate of Su Mansion in the morning light, just in time for Su Yao to go out.
Sheng Saburo, who was riding on a horse, greeted Su Yao: "Second brother Su, are you going to the academy?"
Same as Sheng Dalang and Sheng Erlang, Su Yao is also preparing for the autumn exam this year.
"Yes. Third Brother Sheng, this is—" Su Yao glanced over the green-curtained carriage.
Sheng Saburo showed a smiling face: "I will send my cousin back to Beijing."
Su Yao's expression didn't change much when he heard the words, but the book boy behind him showed a surprised look.
Oh my god, the cousin girl from Sheng's mansion who has a bad heart for his son is going back to Beijing!
"Then I wish third brother Sheng a smooth journey." Su Yao cupped his hands.
"Second Brother Chengsu said auspiciously, let's have a drink together when we come back." Sheng Sanlang clamped his horse's belly and caught up with the carriage that hadn't stopped.
"Thank God, that Miss Luo is finally gone." The book boy was full of joy.
Su Yao stared blankly at the receding carriage for a long time, then said lightly: "Don't talk too much."
Just going back to Beijing, we will meet again sooner or later.
Luo Sheng's departure was like a stone thrown into a lake, and after a while of ripples, it finally dispersed.
But it is said that the old lady Sheng was reluctant to leave her granddaughter, and wet two handkerchiefs from crying.
Of course, few people believe such rumors.
After leaving Jinsha County, Sheng Saburo went from being full of expectations to being deeply disappointed after driving for several days.
Cousin made all kinds of delicacies to reward his stomach, such a good thing never happened!
This day, the carriage stopped by the official road to rest, drinking the bitter tea from the roadside tea shed, Sheng Sanlang finally couldn't help probing: "Cousin, I heard that you can cook."
Luo Sheng did not deny: "I will do it."
Sheng Saburo showed a flattering smile: "Why doesn't my cousin show her hand?"
Seeing that Cousin Luo is more comfortable eating simple meals these days than he is, she is not at all like someone who can make that fried fish dish.
I can’t do it anymore, I have to swallow when I think of hot pot fish.
Luo Sheng turned slightly to look at Sheng Sanlang, and said, "I usually only cook when I'm in a good mood."
Sheng Saburo's eyes lit up: "How is my cousin feeling today?"
Luo Sheng cast his gaze forward, and said lightly: "Under normal circumstances, I'm not in a good mood."
