Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 107

Children will show off when they get good things. Since brother-in-law has already met, Brother Nian ran to find his sister.On the other hand, Brother Heng, who is a few years older, is not so clingy to his sister, and prefers to spend more time with his brother-in-law, and when the brother-in-law-to-be sneaks in an identical gold ingot, Brother Heng calms down a lot, grinning, Put the ingot in the purse and continue to follow the brother-in-law-to-be.

In the backyard, Lu Mingyu had just learned that his elder sister was married, and when he came to the second room to give her a wedding, Lu Mingyu pulled Lu Jinyu aside and quietly congratulated her.

"Not sure yet, Ah Nuan, don't say anything." Lu Jinyu said a little shyly, "After lunch, I'll ask the doctor to take his pulse when I get home."

"It must be good news." Lu Mingyu recalled her previous life, and she was sure that her eldest sister was pregnant this time, and she was still a little nephew.

Lu Jinyu gently stroked her lower abdomen, her face showed the tender joy of being a new mother.

"elder sister!"

Brother Nian's voice came from afar, and the two daughters turned their heads together, and saw Brother Nian running excitedly along the corridor, followed by the big maid who also ran red-faced.Seeing that his younger brother almost bumped into a maid who was carrying a plate, Lu Mingyu reprimanded in a low voice: "Brother Nian, don't run around, come here slowly."

Brother Nian didn't hear it, so he ran up to his sister and held up the gold ingot in his hand to show her.

"Where did it come from?" Lu Mingyu asked in surprise.Gold is precious, my younger brother is young, naughty and active, it is impossible for the nurses and maids to let him carry gold ingots to play with, in case they are lost, they can't afford it, such fine gold ingots, a big maid's monthly money for a year Can't change it either.

"Brother-in-law gave it!" Brother Nian said happily, laughing while clutching the gold ingot, "I only gave it to me, not third brother."

Brother-in-law?

Chu Xing's cold and handsome face appeared in his mind, and Lu Mingyu's cheeks flushed red.

"Impossible. The Duke already knows how to please Brother Nian. Dare he please Brother Heng?" Lu Jinyu looked at his sister teasingly, "They are all brothers-in-law, so I must give them to Brother Heng. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Nian." ask."

When Nian heard this, he blinked, turned around and was about to run.

"Come back!" Lu Mingyu grabbed his younger brother and taught him with a sullen face, "Call the Duke, don't call brother-in-law."

Brother Nian didn't understand, and said aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law asked me to shout like that."

Lu Mingyu was completely dumbfounded. She thought her brother-in-law was being shouted at by her ignorant brothers. Who would have thought that Chu Xing would...

A chuckle came from beside her ear, Lu Mingyu bit her lips and turned her head, and was about to find a reason to go with her younger brother, but Lu Jinyu was the first to tease, "I'm still wondering, no matter how rich this country's government is, the majestic Duke doesn't As for how many gold ingots I brought with me, it turned out that I came here prepared, intending to bribe my brother-in-law to call me brother-in-law. No, I’ll go over and have a look, maybe call fourth brother-in-law, and I can also receive a piece of gold ingots!"

"Sister!" Lu Mingyu's ears were burning, and she grabbed the elder sister's arm and acted like a spoiled child.

Lu Jinyu laughed enough, and when Brother Nian left, she patted her little sister's hand in relief, and said happily: "To be honest, Ah Nuan, the Duke has nothing to choose from his family background, but he is too cold. I'm happy for you, but I'm also a little worried that he's cold and doesn't know how to sympathize with others. Seeing how he can coax Nian brothers and others today, I'm finally relieved. He is so kind to his brothers-in-law. Ah Nuan will marry you, and he won't marry you Spoil the heavens?"

Lu Mingyu lowered her head, and couldn't help but think of that bowl of tea.

She just casually mentioned that she likes Jingning Huiming, and Chu Xing said he remembered it.At that time, she remembered his preference for tea because the girl was thoughtful, and because she liked him very much, and Chu Xing did the same. Could it be that he valued her as much?He likes it but doesn't say it clearly, he can only coax children, this person is really...

Are you too thin-skinned?
Over there, brother Nian ran to the front yard to look for his brother-in-law again. When he saw third brother standing with his brother-in-law, brother Nian ran over.

"Where have you been?" Brother Heng asked with a frown, feeling that his brother was running around.

"I'm going to find my sister." Brother Nian stared at his brother's hand, wanting to see if he had Yuanbao.

Hearing the words, Chu Xing was inexplicably confused, his phoenix eyes were lowered, and he realized that Brother Nian was holding the ingot he gave him all the time. Chu Xing secretly had a headache, picked up the five-year-old boy, and helped Brother Nian put the ingot on In the purse at his waist, he asked in a low voice by the way: "Did sister ask Brother Nian where he got the ingot?"

Brother Nian nodded, looking at his brother-in-law's white and stern face, the little guy said sullenly: "Sister has scolded me, don't let me call you brother-in-law, let me call you Duke."

Chu Xing suddenly had a delicate and pretty girl in his mind. She looked beautiful, but her lips were pursed and her face was sullen, and her peach eyes stared at him coldly.

Chu Xing was very annoyed. He knew that Brother Heng liked him. He guessed that he might meet two brothers-in-law when he came here today, so he prepared two small ingots as gifts in advance. Hearing Brother Nian's call, he forgot that Brother Nian was just a five-year-old boy, who couldn't hide his words at all, and let her know about it.

She is a lady, she must be annoyed by his brazenness, right?
Looking at Brother Nian's big pure and clear eyes, Chu Xing wanted to teach the little guy not to tell his sister everything, but before he said it, he was afraid that Lu Mingyu would get the words out...Pressing his lips, Chu Xing cautiously revealed this Cha, turned to the main entrance and said: "The welcoming team is coming soon, let's go and see the groom."

Brother Nian's eyes lit up.

Brother Heng was following the brother-in-law-to-be, suddenly thought of a question, raised his head and asked, "Brother-in-law, when will you marry my sister?"

He likes to be lively, but he doesn't want his sister to marry off too soon.My aunt and eldest sister are both married, and Brother Heng already knows what it means for his sister to marry. It means that he has an extra brother-in-law, but it will take a long time before he can see his sister.

Chu Xing listened to the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer on the street, and then thought of himself, a slight wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When will you marry her?This is not up to him to decide, but Chu Xing knows that at least before Lu Mingyu reaches Ji, he will definitely not be able to marry.

"What day does Brother Heng hope to be?" Looking at Brother Nian obediently listening to them in his arms, Chu Xing spoke cautiously.

"Tomorrow!" Brother Nian hurriedly said without thinking, the little guy wanted to set off firecrackers again.

Chu Xing managed to hold back his laughter, and looked down at the big one.

Brother Heng thought about it for a while, and then tentatively said: "Next year, brother-in-law, after you marry your sister, can you let her continue to live in our house? You also move here to live with us." In this way, he can see his sister every day , You can also ask your brother-in-law to teach him Kung Fu.

Brother Heng looked at Chu Xing expectantly.

But Chu Xing pulled Brother Heng to his side, looked at a young master running by and said: "There are many people, Brother Heng be careful."

successfully avoided the subject.

The groom's officer, He Yu, came to pick up the bride at an auspicious time, and after some customary rituals, he was about to pick up the bride and leave.

Everyone in the Lu family came to see her off.

Lu Mingyu walked with her aunt and eldest sister, she was quite happy for her second sister, but because she knew that Chu Xing was also here, when she arrived in the front yard, Lu Mingyu quietly looked for Chu Xing while pretending that she only had her second sister who was married in her heart .

At this moment Brother Heng and Brother Nian had been called away by Lu Rong, and Chu Xing, as the uncle-to-be of the Lu family, was standing with Lu Jinyu's husband Xu Chengrui and Lu Yun's husband Yao Jiting.The female family members came out, Yao Jiting and Xu Chengrui looked over almost at the same time, looking for their wives, but Chu Xing, like other guests, first looked at the bride surrounded by the female family members, and then followed her gaze to the bride near the bride. The female family members of the Lu family moved away.

He saw the three of Lu Yun at a glance.Lu Yun and Lu Jinyu were tall and slender, while Lu Mingyu was half a head shorter, walking in the middle, combed into a girl's bun again, very obvious.I haven't seen him for two months, and now when he sees someone, Chu Xing's expression doesn't change, but the phoenix eyes can no longer move away from Lu Mingyu's bright and charming face.

On the big day, she wore a pair of water-red makeup gowns, with pink face and peach cheeks, and a smile like a flower.The first thing Chu Xing looked at was her eyes, and he realized that she only had the bride in her eyes. Chu Xing moved his eyes down and somehow fell on her cherry red lips.Chu Xing remembered that when we met in Lingzhu Pavilion that day, she was dressed plainly and had no makeup on her face, so her lips were born with such a charming and gorgeous color, and when they kissed...

Before the fire in his body got out of control, Chu Xing avoided her lips in time, and when he raised his eyes unexpectedly, he saw her looking towards this side unintentionally.

Chu Xing wanted to lower his eyes subconsciously, but he also wanted to take a real look at her.

Therefore, Lu Mingyu swept over anxiously, and immediately met Chu Xing's narrow and long phoenix eyes. Although there was a long distance, Lu Mingyu felt that Chu Xing was right in front of him. When my sister spoke, she also slowed down, using the aunt on the right to block herself.

She was shy, and fell into Chu Xing's eyes, but she just avoided it.

Chu Xing suddenly thought that he taught Brother Nian to call him brother-in-law, did Lu Mingyu get angry because of this, and didn't want to see him anymore?
Since he confirmed his intention last year, and now the two families started to get married, Chu Xing only spoke to Lu Mingyu once.At that time, we kissed and hugged, it was beautiful like a dream, and then as time passed day by day, that intimacy really seemed like a dream. For example, at this time, as soon as Lu Mingyu "treated coldly", Chu Xing forgot The little girl used to be shy and sweet in his arms, but once she got angry, she might not like him that much.

"Is there something on your mind?" Xu Chengrui wondered when the female relatives went in to see the bride and groom bid farewell to Lu's elders. Seeing Chu Xing frowned slightly.

Chu Xing returned to his senses, and immediately restrained the strangeness on his face, and said to him and Yao Jiting: "We will be relatives from now on, you can just call me Shijin."

Xu Chengrui and Yao Jiting nodded together.

Xiao Congjian suddenly squeezed over from behind and put one hand on Chu Xing's shoulder, "They call you Shijin, what do you call them?"

Chu Xing looked at the two calmly.

Yao Jiting hurriedly said: "Second Master was joking, we are about the same age, so let's call each other by words."

He was embarrassed to let Chu Xing call him uncle.

Chu Xing smiled politely, and his eyes stayed on Yao Jiting for a while before moving to the main room, but his heart was a little complicated.Last year during the Lantern Festival, he accompanied his younger sisters to watch the lanterns, and met Lu Mingyu by chance, but in his previous life, Chu Xing accompanied Emperor Minghui, and the emperor and his ministers traveled in modest clothes, and also met several young girls from the Lu family.When pedestrians came and went, Emperor Ming Hui didn't come forward to say hello, but just watched from a distance for a while, Lu Mingyu, Lu Yun, and Lu Huaiyu lined up next to each other in front of the lamp shop, and Chu Xing couldn't tell who Emperor Ming Hui was looking at.

Not long after, Lu Yun entered the palace.

Chu Xing didn't know what happened between Emperor Huihui and Lu Yun, and he didn't know why Lu Zhan was willing to send a daughter like Lu Yun to the palace. Chu Xing only remembered that Lu Yun didn't die well.Now that Lu Yun remarried to Yao Jiting, I heard that he was the son-in-law chosen by Mr. Lu himself. He must be afraid that Lu Yun would make the same mistakes again, right?

If it were Chu Xing, he would not let his weak and kind-hearted sister enter the palace, even if Emperor Ming Hui was a wise emperor.

The bride got married, but the banquet at the Lu family didn't end until nightfall.

Mrs. Tai led her daughter-in-law and two granddaughters over from the backyard of the Lu family, and saw the eldest grandson standing in the courtyard talking to Lu Rong, with a tinge of drunken blush on his fair face. Mrs. Tai smiled slightly, and teased her grandson, "Can Shijin still ride a horse?"

Chu Xing nodded, "I didn't drink much, so don't worry, grandma."

When Lu Rong heard this, Meifeng jumped.He can't drink, but today his brother-in-law Xiao Congjian made a fuss and brought Yao Jiting, Xu Chengrui, Xiao Huan and several generals to drink Chu Xing wine. Lu Rong was beside him, and he witnessed Chu Xing get those people drunk, but he still stood tall In the end, the wife heard the news and reprimanded the brother-in-law severely, not allowing the brother-in-law to bully Chu Xing again...

There were several jars of wine, but Chu Xing actually said that he didn't drink much?

When the father-in-law looked at the son-in-law, he could make mistakes no matter how he looked at it, Lu Rong felt that Chu Xing's words were false modesty.

"Uncle, let's take our leave first." Chu Xing cupped his hands at him.

The third master became an uncle, Lu Rong felt harsh, and looked at his prospective son-in-law who was only six years younger than him, and hummed perfunctorily.Chu Xing is old, it is dangerous to go to war, and there is Chu Sui who has let down his daughter in the family. If he is not afraid of his daughter's wild imagination, Lu Rong will never agree to the marriage so easily.At the beginning in Yongding County, Chu Xing was considered as a son-in-law candidate, but it was just that Chu Xing was desperate to help ordinary people that day, and he admired it for a while.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion of Chu left, and when they arrived at their own house, Chu Xing followed Mrs. Tai and sent the elders back to their room first.

On the way, Mrs. Chu chatted with her mother-in-law, "I didn't expect the second sister Ah Nuan to marry He Yu. I always thought that her mother intended to ration her to the son of the Marquis of Wukang. When I was young, I often saw their cousins ​​playing together. .”

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Cousins ​​and cousins ​​are all like this. It is easy for adults to misunderstand when they are close. In fact, the children don't think so much, it is brother and sister relationship."

Mrs. Chu nodded approvingly, "That's right. After all, the girls are locked up in the backyard. It's rare to have cousins ​​as guests. It's fresh, of course I like it."

Chu Xing heard it in his ears. He didn't feel anything at the time. He lay down at night and thought of his aunt's words again for some reason.

He Yu, congratulations...

Did Lu Huaiyu marry He Yu in her previous life?
Chu Xing had no friendship with He Li, and hadn't paid special attention to the matter of He Li, but he remembered that in his previous life, He Yu hadn't even been married when he had an accident, otherwise He Yu would have invited him to a wedding.Then think of He Li's character, think of the encounter at the Lantern Festival that was different from the previous life, and He Yu's care for Lu Huaiyu...

Could it be that Lu Huaiyu also married his younger brother in the previous life, and married his elder brother in this life?
If He Yu knew, tonight...

Chu Xing was inexplicably hot, he propped up one leg, staring faintly at the top of the bed with his phoenix eyes.

He likes Lu Mingyu, but Chu Xing has never fantasized about being intimate with Lu Mingyu. The two kisses in Lingzhu Pavilion were purely impulsive. When he marries Lu Mingyu, those will be unavoidable.However, when he thought of his second younger brother who was married to Mingmei and brought her home, and had a wedding with her in the bridal chamber, Chu Xing suddenly felt guilty.

It's not that I'm sorry to the second brother, the fate between the second brother and her is over, he and Lu Mingyu are in love with each other.

But Chu Xing's conscience was uneasy, and he couldn't completely forget his other relationship with Lu Mingyu.

As for her, when the day comes, she can...

Thinking that Lu Mingyu also remembered the past with her second brother, Chu Xing frowned and became more and more irritable.

Chu Xing was sleepless and upset, but today's groom was very happy at this time.

"Cousin, what did you bring me here for?"

Ye Hei was quiet, Lu Huaiyu was dressed in red, looking at the dark surroundings, she couldn't help but hugged He Yu's arm tightly, full of puzzlement.She had been worrying about the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber for several nights, but she didn't expect that on this night, He Yu would avoid the maid and secretly bring her to the garden.

"I'll know in a while, cousin, don't worry." He Yu squeezed her hand with a pleasant voice.

Lu Huaiyu bit her lip and continued to follow him.

After another cup of tea, the newlyweds came to the lakeside in the garden of Marquis Wukang's Mansion.

There were two black-covered boats parked by the lake, He Yu walked between the two boats, finally stopped, turned around, hugged Lu Huaiyu from behind, rubbed her chin lightly on the top of her head, and looked at the floating boats on the lake, Asked in a low voice: "Cousin looks at these two ships, are you familiar with them?"

Lu Huaiyu shook his head blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.

He Yu smiled lowly, hugged her tightly like a punishment, leaned over her ear, and reminded quietly: "When my cousin was ten years old, she came to play in the Hou's mansion. You wanted to take a boat. I knew you didn't like me, so I went with you." You came here together. Cousin, I was standing on the boat on the left at that time, and I saw with my own eyes that you ran to the right with a smile, and looked for him with a smile, without even looking at me."

He Yu was 16 years old that year, and He Yu couldn't explain why he wanted to get close to his cousin at that time. He only remembered that he was very envious, jealous, and unhappy when he saw his cousin clinging to his cousin all day long.

Lu Huaiyu immediately understood the implication of the new husband's words. Her face was burning hot, she felt a little sorry for him, but also felt aggrieved, and whispered: "I was young at that time, and I didn't know you liked me."

"Now?" He Yu murmured, his lips brushed against her soft earlobes as he spoke.

Lu Huaiyu's heart trembled, she broke free from him and ran away.

He Yu didn't go after her, seeing her stop a few steps away, He Yu smiled, walked slowly towards the boat on the left, boarded the boat, turned around, and waited for her.

He started to like her so early, Lu Huaiyu was sweet in his heart, and walked a few steps towards the man shyly, suddenly didn't want to be so obedient, looked up at He Yu, then showed a sly smile, and deliberately ran towards the boat on the right.He Yu's eyes changed abruptly, and the next moment he jumped off the boat and ran towards her on the lake.

Lu Huaiyu was startled, and froze there, staring at him blankly.

He Yufeng rushed to her side, and when he arrived, he didn't say anything, and hugged the bride horizontally.

Under the starlight, the man looked serious, Lu Huaiyu was a little scared, she leaned into his arms and explained timidly, "I'm kidding you..."

"I know." He Yu's voice softened after hearing her fear.

Lu Huaiyu raised his head in confusion. Now that he knew, why was he in such a hurry?Are you not afraid of your shoes and clothes getting wet?
"But even if you're kidding me, I won't allow you to choose him." He Yu lowered his head, looked into her bright almond eyes and said.

Lu Huaiyu couldn't bear such fiery dominance any longer, and closed her eyes shyly.

He Yu kissed her forehead, straddled her long legs, and boarded the boat again.

The boat tent was pitch black, and when he entered, He Yu put his wife on the couch.

Lu Huaiyu panicked, "Cousin, you... we should go back." Didn't he want to spend some time here in the bridal chamber?
"It's right here." He Yu bullied her, and the tall figure enveloped her.

Lu Huaiyu was nervous and did not dare to vent his breath.

The beauty is as delicate as a flower, and He Yu wanted to pity her at first, but after looking forward to it for so long, he finally married the girl he liked in his heart. He Yu didn't care whether his cousin liked her or whether he snatched his wife from him. All he knew was that his cousin now belonged to him, whether it was his heart or hers.

With an exclamation from inside the boat, there seemed to be a sudden strange wind on the calm lake. The black-covered boat on the right continued to sway gently, but the one on the left was pulled by the lake wind and shook violently. I don’t know when it will stop. .On the other side of the garden, all the houses in Wukanghou Mansion were lit with lanterns because of this happy event, and they will not blow them tonight.

On the south side of Marquis Wukang's mansion, Yao's house was two streets away. Yao Jiting also had a lamp in his hand and had just picked up his wife.

"What did grandma tell you, we talked so late." Yao Jiting asked while holding his wife's little hand with a lantern in his hand.

He drank too much at the dinner, and he only remembers being helped to the carriage, and his wife fed him sober tea, and then fell asleep.Just woke up thirsty and uncomfortable, called his wife several times but no one answered, Yao Jiting found out that his wife was not around, called a servant girl to inquire, and learned that his wife went to eat with his grandmother, and has not returned yet.

Yao Jiting still had a headache, so he took a bath to wash off the smell of alcohol, and then came to pick up his wife.

Lu Yun lowered her eyes and said softly: "It's nothing. Grandma heard that Jinyu is happy, so she asked me to come over and ask, and told me to remember to give a gift."

In the dead of night, her soft voice seemed to be wet by the rain, with a hint of sadness that could not be concealed.Yao Jiting sighed silently, stopped, and lowered his head to ask her: "I just asked you to give gifts, and it takes so long to talk about a few words? Ajun, is grandma anxious about our news again?"

After a year of marriage, the wife has been silent for a long time. Yao Jiting is not in a hurry, but thinks that it is good for the child to come later, otherwise, once the wife becomes pregnant, the couple will not be able to do anything.But Yao Jiting knew that his grandmother was in a hurry, so he always found other ways to give the couple soup, or some picture books that made his wife blush.

This matter is related to the inheritance of incense in the Yao family. Grandmother is getting old. Yao Jiting understands her grandmother's desire for a child, so persuading her a few times has no effect. Yao Jiting dare not say anything in front of her grandmother, so she can only comfort her in private To comfort his wife, the left and right grandmothers are just anxious and have a good heart, and have never treated his wife harshly.

"Ajun, grandma thinks a lot when she's older. You can listen to what she says, but don't take it to heart." Yao Jiting hugged his wife and whispered softly in her ear, "Ajun, you know, I've never been in a hurry However, I will never urge you to blame you for this kind of thing.” The first sentence is sincerely comforting, but the latter sentence is a bit frivolous and makes people think.

Lu Yun understood, she was thin-skinned, and she was too embarrassed to listen to her husband say this outside even at night, so she couldn't help but push him away and quicken her pace.Walking and walking, when the evening wind blew, Lu Yun lost her shyness, and thought of old lady Yao's words again.In fact, Mrs. Yao didn't blame her for the pregnancy, but tonight, the old man's words were too straightforward, let her, ask her to ask her niece more, let her learn more.

Lu Yun knew that Mrs. Yao didn't mean anything malicious, but when she heard it, she felt a little uncomfortable, as if it was a big fault that she couldn't give birth to a child.She also wants to give birth to a son for her husband as soon as possible, and she also wants to give birth to a son as cute as her brother and nephews. She has really worked hard. The old lady Yao will drink whatever she asks her to drink, and she is willing to suffer no matter how hard it is. Although she was embarrassed that her husband was holding those picture books, she agreed because he enjoyed it.

But Mrs. Yao asked her to ask how her niece was taken care of, how could she have the nerve to ask?She is an aunt, and she should go to congratulate her niece when she is pregnant, but she goes to learn the scriptures when she is pregnant. Does the niece feel that she only thinks about herself and is not really happy for her niece?
Even if you want to ask, it will take some time before it is appropriate.

As long as Mrs. Yao was more considerate of her, she would not make such a request to hurt her face.Lu Yun is stupid, but she can feel whether a person really likes her. Her husband treats her very well, but sometimes he is a bit domineering at night, but Mrs. Yao, Lu Yun feels more and more...the old man doesn't like her. Her granddaughter-in-law.

"Ajun, it's getting late, let's go to bed." Drinking can add to the fun, Yao Jiting was in a good mood tonight, and hugged his wife as soon as he returned to his room.

Lu Yun shook her head, lowered her eyes and declined politely: "You didn't eat anything at night, you drank so much, go to bed early."

Her niece got married, and she was tired all day, both physically and mentally. When she was going home tonight, she suddenly felt very reluctant to part with her natal family.Living in her natal home, she didn't have to see Mrs. Yao anymore, and she didn't have to be afraid to see Mrs. Yao look at her belly with that kind of look that she pretended not to mind when she was clearly dissatisfied.

"I'm not sleepy, I just want to have a baby with you." Yao Jiting said seductively while kissing her.

child……

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't object anymore, allowing Yao Jiting to carry her to the bed.

After the matter was over, Lu Yun lay down numbly, and said after a long time: "I want to worship Buddha."

"Okay, I'll accompany you on the tenth day of the lunar new year." Yao Jiting was sleepy, hugging his wife and mumbled, eyes closed.

The corner of Lu Yun's mouth curled up, and she rubbed against his chest relyingly.

Falling asleep, Lu Yun had a sweet dream. She dreamed that she went to the temple to offer incense, and met a golden light... Sending a child Bodhisattva.
