Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 18
It was getting dark and the city gates had already been closed, and ordinary people had no choice but to enter Beijing the next morning, but Lu Zhan, as Minister of the Ministry of War, a celebrity in front of the emperor, begged the emperor in advance, and the matter was resolved.

The carriage approached slowly, and the gatekeepers on the tower saw Lu Zhan and Chu Xing riding on their horses, and quickly opened the city gate without saying a word.

There was no one on the street at night, and two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Lu residence.Lu Zhan and Chu Xing dismounted together. The former walked to the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw that the little granddaughter was still asleep, lying in her father's arms.

"Give it to me." Lu Zhan whispered.Knowing that his little granddaughter was kidnapped during the day, Lu Zhan immediately led a team of officers and soldiers to Anguo Temple to rescue his granddaughter, but his son was blind, and his granddaughter would have something wrong, Lu Zhan didn't even dare to think about it.

It was inconvenient for her to get out of the carriage with her daughter in her arms, so Lu Rong didn't try to be brave anymore, and with the help of his wife Xiao Shi, she carefully sent her daughter there.Although they tried their best not to disturb Lu Mingyu, they were hugged by another person. Lu Mingyu, who had not slept soundly, woke up. When she opened her eyes, she met her grandfather's majestic and stern face. Illuminated by the light, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or not. .

The little granddaughter was in a daze, and Lu Zhan's heart was as soft as water. He walked away two steps, and asked his granddaughter with a smile, "Ah Nuan woke up? Is it cold?" In fact, he wanted to ask his granddaughter if she was afraid, but the matter was over. It's better not to mention it, children are very forgetful, maybe they have forgotten it after sleeping.

It was much colder outside the carriage than inside the carriage, Lu Mingyu gradually lost her sleepiness, looked at the cold stars above her head, and slowly remembered the events of the day.Thinking of her grandfather actually coming to pick her up in person, he was still hugging her at this moment, and her parents got out of the car, they were all blood relatives, Lu Mingyu's heart was warm in the cold night.

In order to reassure the family, Lu Mingyu leaned on her grandfather's shoulder coquettishly, yawned deliberately: "Grandfather, I'm so hungry..."

Lu Zhan couldn't help laughing, and Lu Rong and his wife were also amused by their daughter's cute appearance.

"Lord Lu, Third Master and Third Madam, it's getting late, you guys go in quickly, I'm going back home too."

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, and Lu Mingyu was taken aback. She poked her head out of the cloak and looked over there.Two big red lanterns hung high in front of the door, illuminating her little face to be rosy and delicate, and her big dark eyes were still sleepy. Looking at Lu Mingyu like this, Chu Xing recalled Lu Mingyu's soft voice just now. Jiaojiao said "hungry", and couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart.

If his younger brother and sister were reborn after death like him, how could they act so naively and childishly?It seems that the siblings are indeed well-behaved and sensible since they were young, and they are smarter than ordinary children.In fact, it's not surprising, Mr. Lu was once hailed as a child prodigy, and Mrs. Lu was even a talented woman who was praised by the late Queen Mother. With such parents, how can younger siblings be unremarkable?
"Shijin, don't leave in a hurry, go in and have a cup of tea to warm up." Xiao came over and sincerely invited.

Lu Zhan also advised Chu Xing to go in and sit for a while.

Chu Xing shook his head and said: "Since such a big incident happened, the old lady and others in the house must be very anxious. It is important for you to take care of Si. I will go home and report to my grandparents that they are safe. I will be free some other day. Come back to the house to bother me."

Just as Lu Zhan was about to stay again, the Zhu family inside heard the news and led all the Lu family members to rush out. Lu Zhan knew that it was really not suitable to entertain guests at this time, so he told Chu Xing to walk slowly, and then quietly pinched his granddaughter through the cloak Arm, whispered, "Ah Nuan said goodbye to your cousin."

This is the most basic etiquette. Lu Mingyu looked at Chu Xing and said sincerely: "Uncle Biao, go slowly, and I will thank you when my feet recover."

Chu Xing smiled faintly, saluted Mrs. Zhu, then walked up to his steed and turned over.

"Is Ah Nuan okay?" The guests left, Mrs. Zhu rushed to her granddaughter first, and asked while holding her little hand, the eldest lady, second lady, Lu Jinyu, and Lu Yun and other little girls behind her also looked at Lu Mingyu with concern, The men stand a little further away.

They are all relatives, Lu Mingyu smiled and said: "It's okay..." Before finishing speaking, she quickly turned her head and yawned uncontrollably.

Lu Zhan laughed, and turned his little granddaughter, "Okay, we, Nuan, are hungry, let's go eat first, and go to bed after eating."

Lu Mingyu lay on her grandfather's shoulder in embarrassment.At the back, Mrs. Xiao helped Lu Rong, looking at her charming daughter who was surrounded by everyone in front of her, she felt as if she had died once today, and now she really came back to life.

Lu Zhan took his granddaughter back to his and Zhu's yard. Worried that the granddaughter would be disturbed by the crowd, Lu Zhan asked the granddaughters of the other three houses to go back to his yard for dinner, and to visit his granddaughter tomorrow, leaving only Lu Rong and his wife.When the crowd dispersed, Lu Zhan called the doctor who had been invited to the mansion earlier, and while the maids were preparing meals, he first checked his granddaughter's foot injury.

"My lord, Fourth Miss sprained her foot. Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and she can walk around after two days of rest." Langzhong quickly checked the injury and said to Lu Zhan in a relaxed tone.

Lu Zhan nodded, and waited for the doctor to treat the minor injury on his granddaughter's neck. Lu Zhan ordered the doctor to prescribe the medicine, and then picked up his granddaughter to eat.Lu Mingyu had never been hugged so frequently by the elders, and she was embarrassed and enjoyed it so much. The moment her grandfather put her on the chair, Lu Mingyu mustered up the courage to look at her grandfather's majestic tiger eyes, and suddenly she was not afraid.

Grandpa is so kind to her, what is she afraid of?

"Ah Nuan, have a sip of hot chicken soup first." Mrs. Zhu scooped up a bowl of hot stewed chicken soup for her granddaughter and placed it in front of her granddaughter.

"Thank you, grandma." Lu Mingyu lowered her head happily and drank the soup.

"A Nuan eat a pig's trotter, this is a supplement." Before the soup was finished, Lu Zhan over there brought a stewed pig's trotter.

Lu Mingyu hurriedly thanked her grandfather again.

On the opposite side, Mrs. Xiao ate her food silently, and occasionally glanced at the in-laws sitting on both sides of her daughter, feeling sour in her heart.The daughter was frightened, and she and her husband wanted to comfort the daughter, but the father-in-law and the mother-in-law didn't give them a chance at all, and they were so kind to the daughter, as if they were the daughter's parents.

Lu Rong couldn't see how attentive his parents were to his daughter, but the opportunity to coax his daughter was snatched away, and he felt chest tightness secretly. He couldn't open his mouth to snatch her away, so he could only speed up his eating speed slightly, intending to take his daughter back to their third room as soon as possible. .After a few mouthfuls, Lu Rong suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Lu Rong's expression changed slightly, and he slowly put down his chopsticks.

"Master, madam, the prince is here."

The footsteps stopped outside the door, and the servant reported in a hurried tone, panting, as if something was chasing him.

Grandpa is here?

Lu Mingyu raised her head in surprise.The Xiao family on the opposite side showed no expression. Lu Rong stood up respectfully and waited to greet Yue Zhang. Lu Zhan was dissatisfied with Zhuang Wang's disturbing his family's meal and didn't want to greet him, but he couldn't help that he was a prince. Due to his dignity, he had to wipe his mouth. Get up and leave your seat with your wife.

Lu Mingyu also remembered, Lu Zhan pressed his granddaughter's shoulder, "Ah Nuan sprained his ankle, don't be polite to your grandfather."

Lu Mingyu thought about how kind her grandfather was to her, and smiled.

Lu Zhan then led his wife and daughter-in-law to meet the guests. Just as he stepped out of the main room, a figure strode towards them from the corridor and asked them loudly, "A Nuan is back? I heard that A Nuan sprained his ankle? Which bear-hearted leopard?" How dare you kidnap my granddaughter?"

"My lord, don't worry, Ah Nuan's foot injury is not serious." Lu Zhan slightly bent over and said.

King Zhuang didn't even look at him, he glanced at his daughter Xiao Shi with a guilty conscience, "Xianxian, my father rushed over as soon as he got the news, and Cong Jian wanted to come too, but the emperor sent us to Ping County for disaster relief, so both of us can't leave. It's very suitable." This year, Ping County has experienced continuous blizzards, and victims of the disaster frequently freeze to death.

"My father and king are thinking about it." Xiao said with downcast eyes.

Zhuang Wang had long been accustomed to his daughter's indifference, and was anxious to see his granddaughter, so he rushed to the main room first.

"Grandpa." Lu Mingyu said with a smile, and looked at the long-lost grandpa without blinking her eyes.Her grandfather is notoriously fearful. It is said that when the old princess told him to go east, he didn’t dare to go west. As a result, she neglected her grandma, mother and uncle for many years. After the old princess went, grandpa tried his best to make up for the wrong he had done. family.

Lu Mingyu had never seen a grandfather who neglected her mother. Ever since she was born, her grandfather had held her in his palm and was careful to please her mother.The elders were kind to her, Lu Mingyu instinctively wanted to get close, but because of her mother's attitude, she hesitated what to do. It was her mother who taught her to get along with her grandpa. She also said that her grandma didn't hate her grandpa before she died, and neither did she. Get up, but those have nothing to do with her granddaughter.

"Which foot is Ah Nuan injured?" Zhuang Wang sat down on Lu Zhancai's seat and looked at his granddaughter carefully.

Lu Mingyu raised her left foot to show him that medicine had already been applied on it.

Zhuang Wang was a little relieved, and asked what was going on during the day.

Lu Mingyu didn't want to talk anymore, and asked him with a smile if he had had dinner. Zhuang Wang looked at the dining table and couldn't help swallowing. He heard that his granddaughter had an accident, so he hurried back immediately, so he didn't have time for dinner.

"If your lord doesn't dislike it, I'll ask someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for you?" Lu Zhan said not very enthusiastically.

"It's all one family, there's nothing to dislike." Zhuang Wang didn't care much, and after he finished speaking, he pushed Lu Zhan's chair aside, and he pulled one from the side to sit next to his granddaughter.Being so anti-client, Lu Zhan's face darkened slightly, but he had no reason to object, so he could only sit down suppressing his unhappiness.

As the one loved by the elders, Lu Mingyu didn't notice the careful thoughts of the elders, while busy eating the dishes her grandfather and grandpa brought her, she smiled and listened to the elders' words.

"Is Ah Nuan sleepy?"

It was inconvenient for Lu Rong to remind her father-in-law to go back to the palace tactfully, Xiao Shi didn't have that concern, she asked with a concerned face after drinking tea after dinner.

Lu Mingyu understood what her mother meant, and pretended to yawn again, looking sleepy.

Both Lu Zhan and Zhuang Wang were reluctant to part with the little girl, but since Lu Mingyu was sleepy, the two naturally put Lu Mingyu's needs first.Lu Zhan asked his son and daughter-in-law to take good care of his granddaughter, but King Zhuang dared not tell his daughter anything, pinched Lu Mingyu's face, smiled and coaxed his granddaughter to cover her with the quilt at night, and promised that he would come back tomorrow.

"Grandpa, go slowly." Lu Mingyu leaned in her father's arms, and bid farewell to grandpa obediently.

Zhuang Wang reluctantly sighed, and walked away step by step.

After seeing off her grandfather, Lu Mingyu said goodbye to her grandparents.

Finally back in the third room, Lu Mingyu was really sleepy, her eyelids became heavier and heavier when she heard her parents asking about their health.

Xiao felt sorry for her daughter, seeing her daughter closed her eyes, she whispered to her husband: "I will sleep with Ah Nuan tonight, you can go back by yourself."

She was afraid that her daughter would have nightmares.

Lu Rong was silent, but there was a trace of unconscious grievance on his face.

He hasn't talked enough to his daughter...
