Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 100 Overbearing Dating
When the two armies are at war, tactics cannot be static.

The Japanese pirates have been silent for five years since the last time they lost their battle with Daqi. This time, they are ready for a large-scale attack. They are ambitious because they were born on the island. Back to the surface of the sea, and sneak attack on the next place with the wave in a blink of an eye, the speed is so fast that it is hard to guard against.

In the previous life, Chu Xing and other generals fought fiercely with them for nine months to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast. This time, Chu Xing warned the guards along the coast in advance, so although the first wave of sneak attacks by Japanese pirates was successful, they suffered considerable losses.Chu Xing rushed to Dengzhou, relying on his previous understanding of the Japanese pirates' lair, he adopted the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, first destroying the two islands occupied by Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.

The Japanese pirates were brutally injured, and after some rest, they temporarily changed their tactics. At this point, Chu Xing's memory of his previous life was no longer useful, and the two armies fought with all their real skills.The enemy is tenacious, and Chu Xing is not the general who participated in the naval battle for the first time. He has already been familiar with the law of naval warfare, and he is in good health. Hiding island.

The war is over, but there are still messes to be cleaned up, so Chu Xing spent this year outside, and he was busy until the end of February before returning to Beijing under the imperial edict.

Because of the scar on her forehead, Lu Mingyu has stayed at home since she fell off the horse and never left the second door. During the Chinese New Year, the scar completely disappeared without leaving any traces, but the first month was so cold that Lu Mingyu was not in the mood to go out for a stroll. Every day, she either went to play with her second sister, Lu Huaiyu, or talked with her grandmother and mother. When the weather was warm, she would occasionally accompany her younger brothers to play hide-and-seek in the garden.

It seems that it is no different from the daily life of the previous few years, but only Lu Mingyu knows that there is something hidden in her heart.

Chu Xing said that after he returned to Beijing, he would have an interview with her.

Lu Mingyu didn't think she had anything to talk about with Chu Xing. After such a long time, Lu Mingyu had already looked down on it. At that time, she really blamed Chu Xing for being ruthless, but as the days passed, the wound in Lu Mingyu's heart gradually healed.What's the big deal, isn't it just that the man she likes doesn't like her?
From Chu Xing's point of view, he has nothing wrong with him. Her falling from the horse was her own choice, the result of impulsiveness. Chu Xing really doesn't have to feel guilty about it, let alone make up for her affection by getting married.As for the relationship, if you get a response, the love between the two will become stronger and stronger, but if you don't get a response, Lu Mingyu will not resent each other unreasonably, and will not continue to like her foolishly, just like now, she She has already withdrawn her heart, she doesn't like Chu Xing anymore, so there is no need for Chu Xing to "compensate" her anymore.

What troubled Lu Mingyu was that since Chu Xing said he wanted an interview, he would definitely find a way to meet her, right?Talking about this kind of thing, he would definitely not come directly to the house to ask for an interview openly, and he would not dare to make such an impolite request to his parents. Like Chu Sui, he would probably block her once while she was out.Lu Mingyu didn't want to see Chu Xing at all, and didn't want to talk to her about the embarrassing past, so she had to pay attention to when Chu Xing would return to Beijing.

However, Lu Mingyu didn't remember when Chu Xing made a triumphant return in her previous life, she only knew that Chu Xing had made great contributions and was promoted to an official position.

Staying at home, Lu Mingyu can only hope to learn from his father, but Lu Rong thinks that his daughter doesn't like Chu Xing, so why would he take the initiative to mention Chu Xing in front of his daughter?After her daughter left, Lu Rong would talk to his wife about the war situation along the coast. The Xiao family loved her daughter the most, and she was also the last one who didn't want her daughter to marry into the Duke of Chu's mansion. She was afraid that her daughter would repeat the same mistakes in her previous life, so she heard anything about Chu Xing , and will not tell her daughter.

Lu Mingyu was also embarrassed to let the maids around her pay attention to the news of a foreigner, so she didn't know anything about Chu Xing's recent situation.

This morning, Lu Mingyu took her two younger brothers to pay her respects to her grandmother. The five-year-old brother Nian also started to be enlightened. He ate a piece of plum cake at his grandmother's side, and obediently followed his elder brother and fifth uncle to Tongyin Hall to study.Lu Mingyu had nothing to do when she was free, so she stayed in Ning'an Hall to accompany her grandmother to embroider handkerchiefs to pass the time.

"On the ninth day of the ninth day, Ah Nuan is going to have her birthday again." The sun shone in warmly, Zhu embroidered two stitches, tilted her head to look at the granddaughter who was embroidering with her head bowed, and said with a smile, "A Nuan has grown so fast in the past six months, and I can't wait to see you." I'm going to catch up with your second sister."

Lu Mingyu likes to hear her elders praise her for being tall the most, the corners of her mouth are raised high.The body shape of the second sister has not changed from the previous life. In the previous life, Lu Mingyu was married at the age of 15 and only reached the chin of the second sister. Now she is only fourteen, and she is at the same level as the tip of the second sister's nose. It seems that what my grandmother said when I was a child really made sense. Not picky eaters can grow taller.

If she grows like this, she may be taller than the second sister when she reaches Jiji.

Lu Mingyu thought happily.

"Fourteen, you're a big girl. Ah Nuan didn't like any of the many people who came to our house to propose marriage recently?" Of course, Mrs. Zhu was not boasting in vain.

Lu Mingyu slowed down her movements, then resumed her previous speed, and coquettishly cast a sideways glance at her grandmother, "My aunt didn't get married until she was 16, and my grandmother expects me to marry so soon? If I don't want to marry, I will marry you." I've been staying at home, coming to grandma every day to bother you, begging for the bottom of my grandma's box."

The little girl was full of witty words, and Mrs. Zhu smiled from ear to ear. She put aside her needlework and refused to let her granddaughter embroider. It's more likable, and there are so many people who propose marriage, grandma wants to know what kind of thing Ah Nuan cares about."

Lu Mingyu turned the jade bracelet on her wrist, her eyes darkened slightly.

Like what?
she does not know.She used to like Chu Sui who was so bright, funny, and funny, but Chu Sui had a romantic debt, and changed to Chu Xing, who was indifferent and majestic, who would never be romantic, but Chu Xing didn't have her in his heart.I've liked both hot and cold, and it hurt my heart once. Now that I'm at the age of talking about marriage, Lu Mingyu finds that she has no interest in choosing a good son-in-law.

It seems that I don't like anything, and I don't have that kind of thought at all.

"I like daddy like that. You have to be outstanding in appearance, you have to be a top scholar, and you have to be clean and self-sufficient, and be devoted to your wife." With her head down, Lu Mingyu smiled perfunctorily, and she had to say some conditions to stop her grandmother's mouth.

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she became worried.The conditions of her granddaughter are not high for her. Only such a man is worthy of her granddaughter. It is just that she must be able to take the first prize and give birth to a son like a son. No one can match her. But she couldn't find a second one. In Zhu's heart, her eldest son was the best man in the world.

No one can surpass his son, but Zhu has someone in his heart who can rival his son.Scanning the door, Mrs. Zhu held her granddaughter's little hand, and said quietly, "Ah Nuan, grandma still can't figure it out. Duke Chu's appearance is outstanding, and his appearance is not much worse than your father's. In terms of ability, they are both civil and military. Compared with them, they are still from Chu State." He is a promising official, what do you not like about him?"

Among the big family, only Mrs. Zhu is willing to marry her granddaughter to Chu Xing.

"It's fine, grandma asked him what to do." Hearing the long-lost person again, Lu Mingyu couldn't explain how she felt in her heart. She picked up the needle and thread she had just put down and continued to embroider.

Mrs. Zhu sighed, "I didn't mean to mention him. Last night your grandfather told me something about the court, saying that Chu Guogong will return to Beijing tomorrow, and the emperor will definitely reward him heavily. I just remembered that he came last year." Marriage proposal." The husband may be old, and he never told her about important court affairs before. In the past two years, he spent a lot of time sleeping alone. Before going to bed, his husband likes to hug her and talk about trivial things. Many of the Zhu family don't understand. But she likes to hear it.

Lu Mingyu's hands trembled inexplicably, Chu Xing will arrive in Beijing tomorrow?

It felt like the ferocious beast that had vowed to catch her had suddenly returned, and Lu Mingyu's heart that had been calm for half a year began to fluctuate again.Chu Xing's stern and stern face appeared in his mind, and the majestic appearance of Chu Xing admonishing Chu at any time appeared in his mind. Thinking that Chu Xing would probably look at her with that look when he actually met, and asked her why she refused to marry, Lu Mingyu suddenly felt uneasy.

The next day, Lu Mingyu didn't even go to her grandmother's side, but huddled in Meiyuan with her books in her arms, unable to move an inch.

To be honest, Lu Mingyu didn't know what she was nervous about, but couldn't help but think wildly.A moment ago I told myself not to care too much, maybe after half a year Chu Xing had forgotten the words he sent before departure, and the next moment I couldn't help but fantasize about meeting Chu Xing, afraid of his coercion.

"Girl, the two girls from the Duke's Mansion are here as guests." Lanyue came in through the curtain and replied softly.

Ganlu and Longan are already married, Lanyue and Caisang have been promoted to be the first-class maidservant next to Lu Mingyu. The two are about the same age as Lu Mingyu, but after so many years of being in Meiyuan, they are already able to be independent.

Lu Mingyu's heart trembled. If the grandmother's news was correct, Chu Xing only came to Beijing in the morning, and Chu Ying came in the afternoon. If it was said that Chu Ying's trip had no other purpose, Lu Mingyu would not believe anything she said.It's just that everyone has arrived, no matter how well Lu Mingyu knows, she has to open the door to welcome guests.

"Sister Ah Nuan, why don't you like going out recently?" Chu Xiang asked suspiciously on the way from the main room to Meiyuan.

Guessing that Chu Xiang was just accompanying a guest, Lu Mingyu smiled, pointed to his forehead and said, "I was recuperating from my injuries a year ago, and it's been a few days since the end of the year that it's been warmer. My second sister is leaving the cabinet again. I couldn't bear her, so I didn't go out for a walk. "

Chu Xiang nodded knowingly.

Lu Mingyu secretly glanced at Chu Ying, and then turned her gaze away, but Chu Ying smiled playfully at her as if she had been waiting for this moment, without concealing her intention at all.The so-called first-time birth and second-time acquaintance, the elder brother likes sister Nuan so much, "recidivist" Chu Ying is very willing to help her brother, especially Chu Ying knows that sister Nuan will not be really angry with her for this.

Lu Mingyu felt a headache.

"Sister Ah Nuan, my brother really likes you. He entrusted me to deliver the letter as soon as he returned home. You can see this letter for the sake of his sincerity?" While Chu Xiang was not paying attention, Chu Ying proficiently Without hesitation, he stuffed a small bamboo tube into Lu Mingyu's hand.

"For the last time, and next time, Yingying don't blame me for being cruel." Lu Mingyu frowned and said solemnly.

When he returned to Beijing, he looked for her, and Lu Mingyu could tell that Chu Xing was determined, and he promised to make up for her, so he must make up.Lu Mingyu never liked to blindly evade questions. After a while, she would read what Chu Xing said in his letter. If Chu Xing still insisted on proposing marriage, she would write back a letter to explain clearly to him.

To make it clear, if Chu Xing uses his sister to pass things on indiscriminately, she will never continue to condone this kind of private giving and receiving.

With a sullen face, Chu Ying didn't dare to laugh anymore, and nodded nervously.

Lu Mingyu put away the bamboo tubes, drank some tea, and sent the Chu sisters out.After seeing off the guests, Lu Mingyu bit her lip and went to see her mother.Chu Xing didn't want to hide it at all, and his mother must have guessed it.

"Chu Xing asked them to come?" Seeing her daughter, Xiao frowned and asked, no mother likes her daughter to be entangled by men.

Lu Mingyu looked indifferent, and said with a bit of disdain: "He asked his sister to ask me if I was really determined not to marry. If yes, he respected my intention."

When Xiao saw her daughter's face, she knew how her daughter had responded. After thinking about it, she decided to forgive Chu Xing's disrespect for the time being, and stood up to appease her daughter. Mother find a better one for Ah Nuan."

"Mother..." Lu Mingyu leaned into her mother's arms and acted like a baby, "Do I have to marry one? I don't want to marry anyone now."

Xiao smiled lowly, and patted his silly daughter's head.

After dealing with her mother, Lu Mingyu returned to her Meiyuan with complicated emotions, and took out Chu Xing's letter.

"Lingzhu Pavilion is my mother's dowry shop, I have made arrangements, and I will wait here tomorrow at Sishi, hoping to clear up the confusion.

It is really helpless to make such a bad plan. If I have half a blasphemous intention in my heart, I will be punished in a different place in the future, and I will die as a guest in a foreign land. "

Lu Mingyu turned pale.

If she saw the first sentence, she only felt Chu Xing's domineering coercion, but in the latter sentence, she felt the anger rushing towards her face.

Chu Xing must be angry, angry that she refused his kindness repeatedly?Otherwise, it would be enough for him to promise not to bully her, so why curse himself like that?Thinking of Chu Xing's death that he had heard about in his previous life, that although he was not decapitated in a different place, he met his death in a foreign land, Lu Mingyu crumpled the letter paper and tore it into shreds.

Who asked him to swear such a poisonous oath?

Is he wronged?Feel that kindness is not understood?Did he still think she was infatuated with him?

See you soon, if he wants to solve his confusion, she will solve his confusion and let him know that she, Lu Mingyu, has already forgotten him!
Throwing a handful of scraps of paper into the bucket, Lu Mingyu lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and sulked.

Asking her to meet to make a break, a matter that can be explained calmly and calmly, but Chu Xing wants to swear a poisonous oath and say serious things, who will he show his face to?Is he wronged?Why would he feel that if he wanted to let her go, he could just let her go, and if he wanted to make it up, she, Lu Mingyu, had to accept his compensation?

"Girl, it's time to eat."

"Don't eat!"

Turning over, Lu Mingyu was full of anger and had no appetite at all.

In just two words, the words were full of gunpowder, Lanyue was taken aback, and rushed in with Caisang to see the situation.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his girl sticking her head out of the gauze tent with disheveled hair, and said with a serious face, "Get some water."

Looking at the moon and picking mulberries, they are all at a loss.

Seeing Lu Mingyu, she immediately smiled, and secretly warned herself not to be angry.

She had to pretend that nothing happened, and make up a suitable excuse for her mother, so that she could go out tomorrow.
