Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 196
The winter night was as dark as thick ink, Chu Xing put on his outer robe to light the lamp, and after lighting one and placed it on the side of the screen, he couldn't wait to throw away his outer robe and get into the warm tent again.The light was dim and warm, and Lu Mingyu was lying on her back waiting for him, her face that had just been moisturized was rosy, bright and charming.

Chu Xing leaned on her, and Fengyan looked her back and forth from the tip of her eyebrows to her chin.

"Do you think I'm thinner or fatter?" Lu Mingyu curled up in his arms tenderly, and also stared at her husband intently.After being separated for half a year, Chu Xing became thinner and darker, and his face and chest were several layers of color worse, but Chu Xing with such a dark face looked colder and more fascinating. At this time, he recalled the madness just now, Lu Mingyu's heart beat faster.

"The face doesn't seem to have changed much, but the body has lost weight." Chu Xing recalled, and his eyes moved to his wife's chest covered by brocade.

Lu Mingyu immediately raised her head and bit him.She had just given birth when he left, so she must still be empty there, and she took it back naturally after weaning. He specifically pointed out that she had lost weight there, did he dislike her for getting smaller?Lu Mingyu still remembered when he said he liked her fat.

Chu Xing looked at the small tooth marks on his shoulders, smiled and kissed her: "It's okay, I will urge you to eat an extra bowl every day." He came back, his wife doesn't have to worry anymore, he will also work hard to make her fat .

"I don't want to eat." Lu Mingyu nodded his chest, then tilted his head inward, and said softly, "Look at our daughter, if you don't come back, Tangtang will probably leave."

Chu Xing's throat tightened, and he immediately looked to the side.

The little girl was wearing a pale pink tunic, and she was also lying on her back, with her two chubby hands raised up in a simple manner, like a small Chinese character for "mountain".A nine-month-old girl, her eyebrows and eyes are opened, and her eyes are closed, she looks like Lu Mingyu, her face is rosy like tender tofu, and her small mouth is slightly open.

Chu Xing was almost unrecognizable. When he left, his daughter had just turned over.

Chu Xing couldn't help moving into his daughter and let her sleep between the couple. Then he lay on his stomach, staring at his daughter, and nervously touched her little face with his big hands.He is good at archery, and there are thick calluses on his fingertips, which gently rest on the girl's tender face, like hard rocks and flower petals.

Tangtang frowned.

Chu Xing immediately took his hand away.

Lu Mingyu said softly: "Touch it, it's fine when you wake up, Tangtang is easy to coax now." Maybe he can play with daddy when he wakes up.

Chu Xing was reluctant to wake up his daughter, and just looked at the little girl motionless, remembering that his wife said that her daughter had four small deciduous teeth, and Chu Xing gently opened her daughter's small mouth to look at the teeth.Sleeping soundly and being disturbed by others, Tangtang felt even more uncomfortable. She touched the corner of her mouth with her little hand and turned towards her mother.

Lu Mingyu supported the little girl in time, and then slowly turned her daughter towards Chu Xing.

Tangtang likes to hug people. When she met her father with bare chest, the sleeping little girl didn't realize that this embrace was wider and firmer than her mother's. He touched the chest of "mother" with all his heart.

Seeing her daughter scratching her face twice, Lu Mingyu almost laughed out loud.

Chu Xing hugged his daughter's small body, and felt that his whole body was going to melt. Unfortunately, after all, Tangtang still didn't like to hug such a hard "mother". After being pregnant with his father for a while, he went to her mother Turn around, this time Lu Mingyu didn't play tricks, and gently hugged her daughter.

Mother's embrace was warm and fragrant, and Tangtang fell asleep again.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Xing hugged both mothers into his arms, and kissed Lu Mingyu on the forehead, "How is the family going in the past six months?" Regardless of whether it is grandmother or wife, the family letters only report good news but not bad news, but how can life be smooth sailing, Chu Xing wanted to know if his wife had any troubles after he had been away for so long.

"It's all good, I just miss you, and it's hard to think about it." The daughter was separated between the two, and Lu Mingyu stretched out her legs to wrap around him, and rubbed his arms back and forth, "I dreamed of you in an accident several times in the middle of the night, and I couldn't bear it for a few days. The days are frightening."

Chu Xing raised her hand and kissed, "The King of Huainan has settled it. Now that the frontier is peaceful, there should be no more major wars. Don't worry, Ah Nuan. I will always be by your and Tangtang's side in the future."

His eyes were focused, and his words were very affectionate, but Lu Mingyu couldn't help but keep looking at the scars at the corners of his eyes. She was afraid when she first found out that he was injured, but now she finds the scars funny, "Let Mr. Ge take a look later, That's ugly."

"Chou is also your husband." Chu Xing turned over and held her down again.

The next morning, Lu Mingyu's face was radiant. Although she was still busy with many things, she didn't say a word when she was tired. The maid beside her thought that the master was happy that the Duke was coming home soon, but they didn't know that the couple had several spring breezes last night.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Xing personally escorted the former Huainan king Li Fu to Beijing.

He was about to enter the palace to face the saint, the Duke's Mansion had already started to be lively, and everyone gathered in the Sanqiu Hall, waiting for the head of the family together.Lu Mingyu hugged her daughter, and went to the Sanqiu Hall first with her sister-in-law Chu Ying, and saw Mrs. Tai changed into a new royal blue dress embroidered with five bats holding birthdays, and sat in the main seat with a happy face. This joy made her look energetic a lot of.

Seeing Lu Mingyu, Madam Tai lost her joy a little, but she was still more happy for her grandson to return. Madam Tai smiled and clapped her hands at Tangtang: "Daddy will be back soon, does Tangtang miss Daddy?"

Tangtang didn't remember what her father was for a long time, and she didn't like Mrs. Tai either. Danfeng stared at Mrs. Tai's old hand for a while, then suddenly turned her head and leaned into her mother's arms.Lu Mingyu glanced at Mrs. Tai's tense face, secretly anxious, lowered her head to coax her daughter: "Good boy Tangtang, great-grandmother cares about you."

Tangtang looked at Mrs. Tai again, but still refused to go.

Just when Chu Ying was about to smooth things over, Erfang's family came.Master Chu Er and his wife walked in the front, Chu Xiang walked side by side with his mother, and Chu Sui and his wife followed behind.When Lu Mingyu saw Chu Sui in a brocade robe, he felt startled that he hadn't seen him for a long time. Looking at Chu Sui again, his face was as graceful as a crown of jade, and he seemed to be living a very nourishing life.

And Wan Shu next to Chu Sui had delicate makeup on her face, but it was from her heart, no matter how graceful the makeup could be, it could not conceal the haggardness on her face, and there was even a trace of hostility in the corners of her eyes and brows, making her seem unapproachable.

Lu Mingyu lowered her eyes calmly.Everyone lived in the Duke's Mansion, and she didn't deliberately spy on Chu Sui's situation, but whenever there was any movement in Xianyuntang, the little maid would report it to Caisang and Lanyue, and then it reached her ears.It is said that Chu Sui will have dinner in the other courtyard in the west of the city for two days out of three days, sometimes rest there directly, and sometimes come back before the curfew, Mrs. Chu repeatedly persuaded him, seeing Chu Sui's current appearance, it seems to be the same When the wind blows, just be happy.

People came in, Lu Mingyu got up with her daughter in her arms, and bowed to Master Chu and his wife.

Master Chu Er nodded and took his seat. Mrs. Chu nodded at Tangtang's little face and praised a few words. When she was seated, she casually glanced at Wan Shu's belly, wondering why her daughter-in-law hadn't seen anything since her marriage for more than half a year. The son likes children so much, even if Wan Shu gives birth to a daughter, it can somewhat win back his son's heart.

Tangtang leaned in her mother's arms, and looked at the newcomers one by one with big eyes. Seeing Chu Sui, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she grinned at Chu Sui.Lu Mingyu didn't see Chu Sui very often, but Chu Sui would buy some gifts every once in a while and come to see his niece with Chu Xiang. Lu Mingyu avoided Chu Sui by herself, but she never stopped the uncle and nephew from seeing each other.Maybe Chu Sui is a young man in the family now, and Tangtang likes Chu Sui very much.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Our Tangtang looks better." When his niece looked for him, Chu Sui took two steps in this direction, and stretched out his hand to Tangtang, "Come here and give Second Uncle a hug?"

Tangtang wanted to go, Lu Mingyu quietly tugged at her daughter's little clothes, Tangtang looked down strangely, and forgot about her second uncle in a blink of an eye.Chu Sui was a little disappointed, the lady over there snorted, half joking and half admonishing: "If you like a girl so much, you should give birth to one yourself earlier, and then you can be as rare as you want, and Tangtang can have many younger sisters as companions." .”

Hearing this, Chu Sui subconsciously looked at Wan Shu.

Wan Shu pursed her lips and looked at him resentfully.

Chu Sui looked indifferent and sat down next to his father.He also wanted to have a good time with Wan Shu, but Wan Shu insisted on being jealous. He told her very clearly that Wei Shi was just the wet nurse he picked for Brother Run. The widow who was watching her daughter was unclear, and as time passed, Chu Sui didn't bother to coax her anymore. Since Wan Shu refused to live a quiet life, seeing him sneer and sneer at him once, he would spend more time teaching his son.

The husband refused to give her a straight look, and Wan Shu clutched the veil bitterly.

Lu Mingyu was focused on coaxing her daughter, and she answered the elders' questions without looking at Chu Sui and Wan Shu.

At dusk, Chu Xing came back, wearing a dark official uniform.After half a year of fighting abroad, Chu Xing's face was a little tanned, but the black robe still set off his fair complexion, majestic and handsome face.Stepping into the main room, everyone stared at him, but Chu Xing's eyes fell on his wife first, and he didn't even hide it.

In front of so many people, Lu Mingyu blushed at the sight of those long and narrow phoenix eyes, and bowed her head in silence.

Sitting in her mother's arms, Tangtang looked at the strange man who had just come in with her big eyes. After watching for a while, the little girl turned to her second uncle, Chu Sui, as if she didn't understand why there were two beardless men at home. like.

His wife and daughter didn't look at him, Chu Xing temporarily suppressed the agitation in his heart, and first greeted Madam Tai.

Mrs. Tai's eyes were wet, she wiped her tears and said: "It's good to be back, don't kneel, just sit down and rest." Pointing to Lu Mingyu's first vacant chair for him to sit on.

Chu Xing nodded, turned around and walked to his wife. After sitting down, he seemed to lose sight of others, and turned to look at his daughter.He was so close suddenly, and his face was so cold, Tangtang shrank into his mother's arms in fear, only his big eyes were still staring at his father curiously.

"Tangtang, this is Daddy. Daddy likes you the most. Hurry up and give Daddy a hug." Lu Mingyu's eyes were sore, and she softly taught her daughter.

Chu Xing was anxious to hug his daughter, and rarely showed a very gentle smile in front of everyone, calling his daughter in a low voice, "Tangtang, do you still recognize Daddy?"

Tangtang didn't recognize her, she just stayed in her mother's arms but refused to be hugged by her father.Chu Xing had been prepared for a long time, and when he raised his right hand, a jade pendant carved from red jade suddenly fell from between his fingers. The jade pendant was carved with a rooster, which was Tangtang's zodiac sign.Tangtang is now curious about any new playthings. When he saw the things in his father's hands, his eyes were straightened, and he was quickly coaxed by Chu Xing.

Finally hugging his lovely daughter who was sober, Chu Xing looked down at his daughter playing, and the smile on his mouth never broke. As long as Mrs. Tai and other elders did not talk to him, Chu Xing would either coax his daughter or talk to his wife. When he looked at Lu Mingyu, In the eyes is the tenderness like the spring breeze.

Chu Sui sat opposite, seeing his brother and sister-in-law's love again, his heart was surprisingly peaceful.Maybe it's because he became a father, and now his main focus is on how to raise his son, and he doesn't pay as much attention to the relationship between men and women as before.

However, Wan Shu's eyes were hurt by Lu Mingyu's sweet smile. The better others live, the more pitiful she seems to be.Why are they all surnamed Chu, Chu Xing is so good to Lu Mingyu, but Chu Sui goes out to hang out every day?

Chinese New Year is coming soon, and today is another good day for a family reunion. After the family dinner in the evening, Chu Sui didn't go out anymore, and went back to Xianyun Hall side by side with Wan Shu.Wan Shu wanted a child, and wanted to use the child to tie Chu Sui's heart. Although she was still dissatisfied with Chu Sui's behavior, she held back this time. , let's have a lovely daughter like Tangtang."

Wan Shu didn't think Tangtang was cute at all, but she knew that Chu Sui liked to listen.

Chu Sui really liked it. Thinking of Tangtang and Wei's daughter A Tao, Chu Sui bent down and hugged his wife whom he hadn't touched for a long time.It's just that there is a difference between doing this kind of thing for the sake of the child and being in love. After a quarter of an hour, Chu Sui asked the maid to prepare water.

In Dingfengtang, it was a different situation.

As soon as the nurse took away the sleeping Tangtang with her front feet, Chu Xing picked up Lu Mingyu horizontally with her back feet, and put her into the warm tent.After half a year of lovesickness, that night, they barely relieved their cravings. Now that they can do their husband and wife affairs openly, Chu Xing no longer suppresses himself.

One watch, two watch days, until the sound of clappers on the third watch came from the street, Chu Xing finally stopped.

Lu Mingyu lay softly on him, the black hair tied on the top of her head had already been shaken away by him for convenience, the ruby ​​phoenix hairpin was crooked, a few strands of cloud-like hair were scattered, sticking to her cheeks and shoulders, as if the beauty had just Get out of the tub.

"That's what I thought when I received your letter that day." Chu Xing pulled away her hairpin and said in a hoarse voice.

Lu Mingyu pressed her face against him without any response.

Chu Xing moved slightly in his heart, turned his head to look, her eyes were closed, and her breath was long.

Chu Xing couldn't help but laugh, she was too delicate, she couldn't hold on to the end.

After continuing to hug for a while, Chu Xing carefully laid his wife flat, covered her with the quilt, and hugged her directly to sleep.It's so cold at night in winter, Chu Xing doesn't want to take a bath and toss, just simply wipe it off, and then wash it tomorrow when his head is full.

Finally, he could sleep with peace of mind, and the next day Chu Xing also fell asleep until the sun was three poles, which was awakened by picking mulberry outside.Chu Xing rubbed his eyes and looked at his wife who was still sleeping soundly. He slowly stepped out of the warm tent, walked towards the door while putting on his outer robe, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Cai Sang heard that the master had just woken up, so why not: "Master Liao, Master Liao is here, waiting in the front yard."
