Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 106
It was time to discuss marriage, the Duke of Chu and the Lu family took Chu Xing's and Lu Mingyu's horoscopes to match, and the results were all auspicious.

After the horoscope, the official engagement will be next, but it will take time to prepare the banquet and post the post. Lu Huaiyu will be married soon in May, and the whole family is busy with it. Lu Rong and his wife don't want to make their daughter's engagement banquet a mess It was too hasty, so I chose the eighth day of the seventh month among the auspicious dates sent by the Duke of Chu's mansion.

But as early as the day when Chu Xing personally proposed the marriage, all the governments in the capital were paying attention to the movements of the two families, and followed the matchmaker to the Duke of Chu's residence and the Lu family several times. Doesn't this mean that the marriage has basically been settled?
Those who walked frequently with the Lu family came to inquire one after another, and by the way first expressed their congratulations.

Lu Mingyu made friends with quite a few sisters, and they came to tease her every two days, even if Lu Mingyu hid in the boudoir, she couldn't keep quiet.

Fortunately, she enjoyed it very much, and enjoyed it very much.

On the eve of Lu Huaiyu's wedding, the two aunts, Lu Yun and Lu Jinyu, both returned to their parents' home ahead of schedule.

"I didn't expect Ah Nuan to be the youngest among us, but the future fourth brother-in-law is the oldest among the men."

In the gazebo by the lotus pond, Lu Jinyu was slowly shaking the round fan while teasing Lu Mingyu. Gu Panshenghui's eyes swept across Lu Yun and Lu Huaiyu one by one with a smile, "You say, in the future, the famous Duke will accompany Ah Nuan back to the door, and see Will we call Aunt, Eldest Sister, Second Sister? By the way, should I call him Brother-in-law or Uncle Biao at that time?"

Lu Huaiyu laughed out loud, almost losing the apricot he picked up just now.

Lu Yun couldn't bear to tease her niece, but she also lowered her head and laughed.

Lu Mingyu thinks she is eloquent, and she has rarely been teased so much that she has nothing to say in her two lifetimes, but at this moment, she really doesn't know how to get back her words. Who told Chu Xing's age and seniority to be true?Thinking back when Chu Xingchu came home, she called her cousin uncle with her aunts and sisters.

Turning from embarrassment to anger, Lu Mingyu turned her head, rested her chin with one hand, and covered half of her face with a round fan with the other, looking at the lotus by herself.

"Oh, we, Nuan, are angry. Forget it, we shouldn't ask you this question. When the day really comes, we will know." Lu Jinyu smiled and moved to her sister, hugging the little girl's shoulder and teasing.Lu Mingyu struggled twice, and finally found a chance to fight back: "Big sister, it's summer, you're used to being with my brother-in-law, I'm not used to it, let me go, I'm almost sweating."

"You, how did you learn such words!" Lu Jinyu was so ashamed that she patted her sister's head with a round fan.

Lu Mingyu jumped and hid beside her aunt.

"Ah, this apricot is so sour!" Lu Huaiyu suddenly exclaimed, her pretty face wrinkled, and quickly put the bitten apricot into the saucer for the pit, and picked up the tea bowl to gurgle and gargle.

Lu Mingyu originally wanted to eat one, but he hesitated seeing this, but Lu Jinyu couldn't help swallowing, squeezed one and said, "I'll try it."

The three girls stared at her together.

"Not sour." After swallowing, Lu Jinyu wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Lu Huaiyu blankly.

"Maybe yours just isn't sour." Lu Huaiyu murmured, staring at the fruit plate, and picked the one that looked the most familiar.

Lu Mingyu also went to eat apricots.

Lu Yun kept looking at the eldest niece, seeing that the niece quickly finished eating an apricot, Lu Yun bit her lip, moved to Lu Jinyu's side, and asked in a low voice, "Jinyu, do you have any good news?" Married in April, a year has passed, and my stomach has not moved. There was a time when I really wanted to eat hawthorn cake. Mother Zhou was overjoyed. An empty joy.

But Lu Yun knew that after pregnancy, she would like to eat sour, just like when her mother was pregnant with her younger brother.

Lu Jinyu blushed, looked at her two younger sisters, and asked quietly, "How did Auntie find out?" Her menstrual period was more than half a month late, and both Lu Jinyu and the nurses around her thought it was, but Lu Jinyu was afraid Kong Huanxi wanted to wait a few more days before hiring a doctor, but she had morning sickness for three consecutive days, and Lu Jinyu was basically sure of her pulse.

After the guess was confirmed, Lu Yun had mixed feelings in his heart, and said with a forced smile, "I guessed it, congratulations Jinyu."

Lu Jinyu was born with a delicate heart, and the envy and sourness on her aunt's face was so obvious, Lu Jinyu subconsciously looked at her aunt's belly, and understood it in a flash, quickly held her aunt's hand, and whispered in a low voice: "Don't worry, aunt, my mother told you , Women are different from women, some get pregnant early, some get pregnant only two or three years after marriage, auntie, don't be sad because of this."

Lu Yun knew that her niece was sincerely comforting her, and also knew that this comfort would not work for her, but she still responded with a smile, "Well, I understand."

"What are you whispering there?" Lu Huaiyu asked after eating an apricot, seeing the two of them so close.

"Guess if you can sleep tonight." Lu Jinyu skillfully concealed it.

Lu Huaiyu blushed embarrassingly, but Lu Mingyu noticed that her aunt's smile was a little stiff.

After the reunion, Lu Mingyu and her aunt went to the third bedroom. She was going home, but Lu Yun wanted to talk to her sister-in-law.Lu Yun was only three years older than Lu Mingyu, and Xiao Shi watched her grow up, her aunt and sister-in-law were like mother and daughter.Lu Yun's favorite is of course her mother, Zhu Shi, but every time she encounters troubles, Lu Yun likes to talk to her sister-in-law, because compared to her mother's simple maintenance and comfort, Lu Yun thinks her sister-in-law's words are more reasonable.

"Auntie, what have you been up to lately? Why do you seem to have lost weight?" Lu Mingyu pinched her aunt's wrist and asked in confusion.

"Is there?" Lu Yun looked at his wrist in astonishment, but didn't notice it. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Maybe I'm learning to identify herbs recently. You know I'm stupid, and I don't learn things as fast as you."

"Identify medicinal herbs?" Lu Mingyu didn't understand, "What does Auntie learn from that?"

Lu Yun lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Your uncle likes to play with medicinal herbs. I know him, so I don't need to ask him everything."

Her cheeks were rosy and her smile was sweet, Lu Mingyu joked a few words in a low voice, imagining the situation when her aunt and Yao Jiting were together, Lu Mingyu was sincerely happy for her aunt.When she arrived at the third room, she guessed that her aunt was going to have private conversations with her mother that she could only listen to after she got married, so Lu Mingyu obediently went back to her plum garden.

"Sister-in-law, Jinyu is happy." After chatting about the homework, Lu Yun lowered his head and fiddled with the handkerchief, and said sullenly.She envied her niece but was not jealous, but Lu Yun was sad because her stomach was not up to snuff.It might not be a big deal for a daughter-in-law to be childless for three years if other people's family is prosperous, but Yao's family currently only has a husband. Lu Yun knows what old lady Yao expects of her, and she herself is anxious.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, is there something wrong with my health?" When it came to what she was most worried about, Lu Yun's eyes were a little sore.

"Nonsense, you are the pampered girl of our Lu family. You have been well-clothed and well-fed since you were a child. You have no disasters or diseases. How could you have any health problems?" Xiao Shi reprimanded softly. I knew from my mouth that my sister-in-law in her previous life was pregnant not long after she entered the palace, and...

Anyway, sister-in-law is relatively healthy.

"Then why do I..." Lu Yun leaned on her sister-in-law's shoulder, and her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, "It's been more than a year..."

"Children pay attention to fate, some come early, some come late." Xiao patted her on the shoulder, smiled and comforted, "Look, I only had Ah Nuan half a year after I married your third brother. There is no movement, because of this your second sister-in-law has laughed at me so many times, and she didn't stop her mouth until brother Heng was born. Don't worry, Ajun, when the time comes, it will happen naturally. "

After comforting her, Mrs. Xiao taught her sister-in-law several postures that are easy to conceive.

Lu Yun's ears were hot, and she memorized it shyly.

The next day, the Lu family held a happy event and had a big banquet for the guests.

Brother Heng led Brother Nian to the front yard early in the morning. Apart from seeing the commotion when the bridegroom entered the door, there was another important thing to do.

"Which is the brother-in-law?" Brother Nian was held by his brother, and he looked around with big eyes. He knew that his sister was going to marry the Duke of Chu, but Brother Nian hadn't met his brother-in-law yet. At least Brother Nian felt that He hasn't seen it.

Brother Heng is eight years old. He is very strong and tall. He is standing there in a newly made summer gown with a round collar made of hang silk, with one hand stretched behind to shield his younger brother's shoulders, and his eyes are scanning the yard one by one. The gentlemen in fancy clothes were looking for it, and suddenly they saw their uncle Xiao Congjian and a man in dark blue robes walking over.

Brother Heng's eyes lit up, and he pointed sideways to his younger brother, "The one next to uncle is our brother-in-law!"

Counting the brother-in-law He Yu who came to greet the relatives today, Brother Heng already has an uncle and two brothers-in-law, but Brother Heng is most satisfied with his brother-in-law. In the eyes of Brother Heng, a brother-in-law who can lead the army is more powerful than his grandfather big hero.Grandfather said he had been on the battlefield, but Brother Heng didn't have the slightest impression. Brother-in-law beat Japanese pirates, but Brother Heng knew!
"Come on, let's go there, but now you can't call me brother-in-law, you have to call him the prince of another country." Brother Heng taught his younger brother solemnly.I used to call Uncle Biao, but now I can't call Uncle Biao anymore, my mother said, I can't be any less senior.

Brother Nian nodded obediently.

The two brothers just walked towards Chu Xing and Xiao Congjian.

"Shijin, guess, the two of them came to find their uncle, or to see their brother-in-law." Seeing the nephews, Xiao Congjian stopped and asked Chu Xing in a low voice.

Chu Xingfeng looked at Brother Heng and Brother Nian, his expression softened intentionally, and he didn't answer Xiao Congjian's teasing.

"Uncle." When he got to the front, Brother Heng called Uncle first, but his eyes fell on the brother-in-law who was taller and taller than uncle.

Brother Nian followed suit, more obviously than his elder brother, staring at Chu Xing unblinkingly with his big black eyes.

Xiao Congjian smiled, bent over to tease his little nephew, pointed at Chu Xing and asked, "Does Brother Nian know what to call him?"

Brother Nian nodded, "My name is Lord Guo."

Chu Xing's eyes changed slightly.

Xiao Congjian continued to laugh, and corrected his nephew: "The Duke is too unfamiliar. In the future, when there are no outsiders, Brother Nian will call him brother-in-law directly." He used to be Chu Xing's direct subordinate, and the two had a close friendship. After marrying Chu Xing's cousin, the relationship is one step closer.If someone else was his niece and son-in-law, Xiao Congjian would never give the other party the honor of being called brother-in-law in advance, but Chu Xing... Xiao Congjian is willing to help him.

"Brother-in-law!" Brother Nian was still shy, Brother Heng called out excitedly.

Chu Xing touched the top of the boy's head with his big hand, "Brother Heng has grown taller again."

There was no trace on his face, but Xiao Congjian could hear the joy in Chu's words.Xiao Congjian smiled triumphantly, turned around and patted Chu Xing on the shoulder, "Shijin, brother Heng already calls you brother-in-law, shouldn't you also call me uncle?" Xiao Congjian had been looking forward to this moment.

He waited leisurely, but Chu Xing turned a deaf ear to him, bent down, and easily hugged the shy brother Nian, holding it with one hand, and took out the gold ingots he had prepared earlier with his right hand and stuffed it into the fat and white of Nian In the little hand, he lowered his head again and coaxed in a voice that only Brother Nian could hear: "Brother Nian calls brother-in-law."

Brother Nian's eyes lit up, holding the gold ingot, and calling him brother-in-law crisply.

Chu Xing looked at the boy's delicate eyebrows that resembled Lu Mingyu's, and the corners of his lips curled up.
