Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 115 Premarital Education
On New Year's Eve, it was snowing, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers rustled down, covering the ground.

But the heavy snow did not lighten the atmosphere of the New Year in the capital at all. With the sound of firecrackers, children ran in the snow while there was no curfew, and the sound of playing and playing was one after another in the sound of firecrackers.In the palace, Emperor Minghui hosted a banquet for his clan and ministers, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky one after another, reflecting the snowflakes into a glow.

Lu Mingyu is already engaged, so she didn't go to the palace banquet tonight. She was wearing a cloak and holding a hand stove, sitting with the eldest wife, second wife, and aunt who stayed at home, watching the two cousins ​​lead people to set off fireworks there .Halfway through, the palace presented two dishes. There was a small charcoal stove under the dishes, and the dishes were still hot when the lid was opened. Everyone took a bite each, and didn't take these two dishes seriously. They will all receive food from the emperor.

After admiring the fireworks, my mother and I moved to the warm pavilion to talk. Even if there were bumps throughout the year, no one mentioned the bad luck on New Year's Eve. They only picked auspicious words, as mean as the second lady, and they always laughed.Of course she was happy, the Marquis of Wukang had only sent news a few days ago, and Lu Huaiyu was happy.

When she was happy, the second lady couldn't help but brought up her daughter's pregnancy again, "Next year, Jinyu and Huaiyu will be able to bring the little ones back, and it will definitely be very lively."

The lady changed the topic after a few perfunctory sentences.

Lu Mingyu quietly observed her aunt, and saw her holding a tea bowl with a gentle expression and a smile on her lips, as if she was looking forward to reuniting with her two older sisters, and she didn't feel sad because the second wife mentioned the pregnancy, but Lu Mingyu felt a little sour in her heart.Fortunately, my aunt can think about it, otherwise the married girls of the Lu family would find it difficult for her to conceive, and my aunt would feel very uncomfortable.

Chatting and chatting, the night was getting dark, Lu Zhan and Zhu Shi came back with the whole family.

Lu Mingyu went to pick up her mother, said goodbye to her grandparents in front of the door, then took Brother Heng and followed her parents back to her third bedroom.Brother Nian fell asleep and was held in Lu Rong's arms. Xiao was worried that snowflakes would fall on his younger son's neck, so he carefully covered his son with the cloak. Lu Mingyu saw it and felt warm in his heart.

A family reunion, this is New Year's Eve.

Lu Rong first went to send his two sons back to their rooms, and Xiao took an umbrella to send his daughter back to Meiyuan. On the way, she whispered to her daughter, "Ah Nuan, the emperor gave food tonight, but not Yao's family."

Lu Mingyu looked at her mother in surprise, and when she raised her head, the corners of her mouth curled up.

In fact, no one is really greedy for those two dishes given by the emperor. They enjoy this honor, because the emperor will only give dishes to his valued subjects every year. In his eyes, he gave affirmation and made a good start for the next year.As for a family like the Yao family, the man who heads the family has no achievements at the moment, the emperor gave the food because of his relationship with Mrs. Yao, and the sudden refusal to give it away can only show that the Yao family's virtue is at a disadvantage, and the emperor no longer cares about the old relationship.

The officials and wives in the capital are better than each other. The emperor's gift of food almost directly charged the Yao family with the crime of lack of virtue. Simply believe in the rumors spread by Mrs. Yao earlier.

But after secretly delighting, Lu Mingyu was a little worried again, "Mother, do you say that Uncle Huang helped us in this way because of your affection, or..."

Xiao Shi shook his head and remained silent.

She also couldn't figure out what the emperor's brother was thinking.If it means that Emperor Hui has taken a fancy to sister-in-law, but after more than half a year, Emperor Huihui of Ming Dynasty has not expressed anything, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he is attracted to sister-in-law.But if he didn't take it to heart, why did Emperor Minghui settle accounts with the Yao family after so long?

The third possibility is that Emperor Ming Hui made this move without considering his personal relationship with the Lu family at all. It was Emperor Ming Hui who witnessed his sister-in-law fainting in order to ask for a son, and knew the truth about her sister-in-law and Yao Jiting's stalemate. You are not acting aboveboard enough to deserve this honor again.

"Let's wait and see what happens." When he walked to the gate of the Meiyuan courtyard, Xiao Shicai quietly said.

Lu Mingyu hummed.It's useless to speculate on this matter, we can only wait and see.

Duke Chu's mansion, back to Sanqiu Hall, Mrs. Tai left the eldest grandson alone to talk, "The emperor didn't give food to the Yao family tonight, do you know?"

Chu Xing was surprised that his grandmother would mention this, so he glanced at Mrs. Tai and nodded.

Mrs. Tai pondered: "I just said that Aunt Nuan and her aunt don't seem to have a jealous temper. The emperor is wise and will never neglect the Yao family for no reason, and I don't know what's hidden in it."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it, grandma, let's rest early." After the second watch, Chu Xing was a little worried about the old man's health.Both of his parents died, and he was brought up by his grandfather and grandmother. Now that his grandfather has passed away, only his grandmother is left as a close relative. Chu Xing does not want his grandmother to work too hard.

"Why is it irrelevant? When you marry Ah Nuan, we and the Lu family will become serious in-laws." Mrs. Tai reminded her grandson with a smile.

When mentioning his fiancée, Chu Xing lowered his eyes, and did not explain that he meant that the Yao family had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, go to bed early, you have to go to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning." Mrs. Tai was also a little sleepy, and waved to her eldest grandson.

Chu Xing bowed his head and retreated.

Mrs. Tai looked at the tall and majestic back of her eldest grandson, and thinking about what happened tonight, she became more and more satisfied with Lu Mingyu, the daughter-in-law of her eldest grandson.It is well known that Emperor Minghui dotes on Lu Mingyu. This time Lu Zhan did such a rare thing outrageously that he divorced his daughter for his daughter, yet Emperor Minghui was willing to support the Lu family. Isn't it because he loves the house and the black, and the main thing is to save face for his niece?
Lu Mingyu's weight in Emperor Ming Hui's heart was so heavy, so it would be the icing on the cake for his grandson-in-law Prince Qing if Lu Mingyu married into his own family.The second prince, King Rui, was not liked by the emperor because of his birth mother, the virtuous concubine. The fourth prince was mean and domineering, and was misunderstood by his cleverness.

When King Qing crowns the crown prince and becomes emperor, her granddaughter will be the empress of Daqi!

His eyes were shining brightly, and the excitement had passed, so Mrs. Tai sent the maids around to come in to serve.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Mingyu got up early, washed and dressed, and led her two younger brothers to pay New Year's greetings to the elders.

Knowing that Chu Xing was coming today, Lu Mingyu hid back to Meiyuan after eating dumplings with his grandparents.Picking mulberry sent people to pay attention to the movement of the uncle-in-law, and when they heard that someone was coming, they immediately ran in to tease the master.Lu Mingyu glared at her, turned to face the glass window, lowered his head and continued to read the travel notes, pretending to be reading.

After about a quarter of an hour, Brother Nian's joyful voice came from the yard, calling his sister happily.

Lu Mingyu snickered, knowing without guessing, the younger brother must have received the New Year's money from Chu Xing.

"Sister, brother-in-law gave me a gold ingot worth ten taels!"

Brother Nian ran in erratically, kicked off his shoes skillfully when he entered the room, and climbed into the warm couch to show off to his sister.

Lu Mingyu looked at the big golden ingot in his younger brother's hand, and teased his younger brother with a smile: "Then you should put it away quickly, and be careful not to lose it."

"Well, I'll put it in my purse." Brother Nian took out his small purse, and stuffed the ingot into it with great difficulty. It was so hard to stuff, a small purse suddenly fell out of his sleeve.Lu Mingyu was amused by his younger brother, picked up the purse and asked him: "How many purses do you prepare to hold the New Year's money?" Really greedy.

Brother Nian looked at the purse in his sister's hand, but smiled, and threw himself into her ear and said, "Brother-in-law said, this is the lucky money he gave you."

The boy's warm breath made Lu Mingyu's ears itch, and the "brother-in-law" successfully made Lu Mingyu blush. Looking at the mulberry picking and the moon over there, Lu Mingyu quickly put away her purse, and warned her brother in a low voice not to talk nonsense.Brother Nian nodded solemnly, then said anxiously: "Then I'll go find my brother-in-law!"

He just came to deliver things to his brother-in-law.

"Walk slowly, don't run wild." Lu Mingyu told his younger brother worriedly.

Brother Nian ran away while agreeing.

Lu Mingyu sat silently for a while, then turned around again, and quietly opened her purse...

It was another little golden horse, almost exactly the same, and not too tall.

Lu Mingyu smiled first, then pouted slightly.Who is it, the monkeys given last time were clearly for the younger brothers, and the two little guys snatched one each. They usually order the monkeys to serve tea and water, or go out and ask the monkeys to bully other boys, which is extremely rare.The little golden horse he gave her this time was nothing new, and it was not one-tenth of the size he gave his younger brother...

Will he marry her, or her brother?

Of course Chu Xing wants to marry her. As soon as the first month is over, the Duke of Chu sent the betrothal gift, which filled the yard, including gold, jade, gemstones, jade, porcelain, spices, furniture, silk and satin, all of which are of the highest quality. Waiting for Xian Xungui's family to fail to show it, the second lady is envious, her eyes are almost red.

The betrothal gift was given, and three auspicious dates were chosen by the way, and Lu Rong and his wife were asked to choose one.

Lu Rong saw that the earliest is May, the middle is November, and the latest is spring next year.

He snorted coldly, and said to his wife meaningfully: "This man is really cunning. He put on a show next year to make us misunderstand that he is not particularly anxious to snatch our daughter from us, but will Ah Nuan agree? That child has long been I look forward to getting married." The daughter refused to stay, and Lu Rong tried to persuade her daughter to make sure that Chu Xing could avoid the catastrophe before remarrying, but the daughter resolutely refused and insisted on marrying as soon as possible, just like what she said to her mother, with one heart and one mind. I want to leave a seed for Chu Xing.

But how could Lu Rong put her daughter in danger of becoming a widow?Knowing from his daughter that King Huainan will rebel in autumn this year, he began to imply that the emperor took precautions. Emperor Minghui had planned for a long time, and found a reason to "invite" the princess and son of King Huainan to live in the capital for a long time. King Huainan loved this princess very much. At least for the past few years, he has not dared to act rashly.

We will get married next year, but my daughter disagrees. It is too cold to get married in Dongyue, so it is inconvenient to prepare, so it can only be set in May.

Lu Zhan was not very willing, but the two monkeys that Chu Xing sent last year completely captured the hearts of all the female family members of the Lu family. Zhu was the most satisfied, and he coaxed her husband well with just a little wind.

The matchmaker Xi Zizi took the auspicious day chosen by the Lu family back to the Duke of Chu's mansion to report his orders.

There were only three months left before the wedding, Mrs. Tai worried that her eldest grandson was "ignorant", so she called her second son over and gave some instructions.

Master Chu Er was also very concerned about his nephew's life events, so he sent someone to carefully search for a box of erotic pictures and sent them to Dingfengtang.
