Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 20
The last day of the first lunar month is also the day when the court officials rest and take a bath.

While Chu Xing was resting at home, Xiao decided to take her daughter to the Duke of Chu's mansion today to pay her respects.

Woke up early in the morning, the couple had packed up, Xiao Shi whispered about Chu Xing with her husband, and waited for her daughter to come to pay her respects, and the family of three went to her in-laws, but after waiting for a long time, no one came, Lu Rong wanted to order the maid to go Look, Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head secretly, "I'll go, you go to the front yard and wait."

As a mother, she can more or less guess what is going on in her daughter's family.

Saying goodbye to her husband, Mrs. Xiao came to Meiyuan alone, and when she walked to the main room, she heard her daughter's childish voice from inside, "Picking mulberry, which of these two is more beautiful?"

"It's all very beautiful, girl, it's getting late, it's okay for the third master and wife, the master and the old lady are full of people, let's hurry up?"

Sure enough, Xiao Shi shook his head amusedly, walked in through the curtain.

Lu Mingyu stood in front of the full-length mirror, which was taller than her, holding a begonia red begonia beggar in her left hand, and a peach pink begonia that she liked the most when she was a child in her right hand, trying to make a difficult choice.Peach pink is more cute, and crabapple is more charming. That guy Chu Sui likes to buy her a good material of crabapple red, and let her make it into an underwear...

"Wear pink." Standing at the door, Mrs. Xiao decided for her daughter.

It was only then that Lu Mingyu realized that her mother had arrived, and seeing her mother's eyes that seemed to see through her mind, Lu Mingyu turned around in embarrassment, and stuffed the begonia red begonia pantyhose into the big maid Caimulberry, she hid behind the screen with a blushing face, and quickly changed her clothes.Xiao looked at her daughter's hazy little figure, and motioned for picking mulberry and longan to go out first.

Lu Mingyu lowered her head even lower, guessing that her mother was going to explain the truth to her again.

"Ah Nuan, in Chu Sui's eyes, you are only seven years old this year. Unless you tell Chu Sui the secret, even if you dress up as a little fairy, it is impossible for him to fall in love with a little girl who is only seven years old." Xiao Shi Coming to the other side of the screen, the voice gently reminded her daughter, "You are acting too weird and eager for success, you may scare people away..."

"Mother..." Lu Mingyu was extremely ashamed, and acted like a baby with her back turned to her mother, "I'll stay by your side obediently today, why don't I go anywhere?"

Xiao deliberately teased his daughter, "Just today?"

"I'm not going!" Lu Mingyu became furious, and angrily threw herself on the bed, pulling up the quilt to cover herself, so as not to worry her mother.

Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, fearing that her daughter would be really angry, she hurried over to make amends and helped her dress herself.A quarter of an hour later, Lu Mingyu plucked up the courage to come to the mirror, and saw that the little girl inside was wearing the simplest double bun on her head, surrounded by pink and tender peach and silk flowers, which looked good, but was too childish.

"If you want to grow taller, eat well." The mother and daughter have a good understanding, and Xiao smiled and tapped the top of her daughter's head to make use of the topic.

Lu Mingyu has always had the problem of picky eaters. When she was a child, she would not listen to persuasion. When she grew up, she became the shortest of the four sisters in the Lu family. Remembering this incident, she bent down to look at her short legs, and she assured her mother very sincerely, "Don't worry, mother, I will eat whatever you let me eat in the future."

Xiao didn't believe it, so she took her daughter's little hand and went to the front yard to meet her husband.

After getting into the carriage, Lu Mingyu folded his hands on his knees and sat quietly beside his father, looking very cute.

Xiao knew her daughter was "guilty of being a thief", and Lu Rong had no idea, so Nahan asked, "Why doesn't Ah Nuan speak?"

Lu Mingyu raised her eyes for the first time since getting on the carriage, and asked her father softly, "What does Dad want to hear?"

Xiao Shi couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing.

Lu Rong thought about the destination of this trip, and vaguely guessed the reason why her daughter pretended to be good.As a father, Lu Rong felt uncomfortable when his daughter began to miss her lover at a young age.Although her daughter was married to Chu Sui in her previous life, Lu Rong would still consider Chu Sui as an ordinary son-in-law candidate. It is impossible to indulge her daughter to Chu Shun just because of her marriage in her previous life, and would approach her daughter recklessly.

But he is a father, and it is impossible for him to remind his daughter as straightforwardly as his wife. It is natural for a father to have no mother.

"Ah Nuan, Daddy opened his eyes this morning, and he seemed to see a glimmer of light." Facing his daughter, Lu Rong said calmly.

Mrs. Xiao already knew the good news. Lu Mingyu was overjoyed when she heard it suddenly. She has been doing acupuncture for a few days, and her father didn't feel any sign of recovery a few days ago.Looking at the car curtain, Lu Mingyu suppressed the ecstasy, and asked the specific situation in a low voice, "Did Daddy see something? Now?" Even if there is a little improvement, it means that her acupuncture is useful.
Lu Rong smiled slightly, "It's just a little light, fleeting, but it doesn't matter, Ah Nuan's method is useful, and it will get better." It is impossible for Lu Rong not to care about the effect of acupuncture on his own body, and it seemed calm a few days ago , In fact, I was apprehensive and apprehensive, but fortunately I saw hope this morning.

"That's great." Words could not express Lu Mingyu's excitement, she squeezed excitedly between her parents and buried her head in her father's arms.After rebirth, Lu Mingyu remembered her actual age most of the time, and she could hug her when she got along with her mother, but on her father's side, except for her father who took the initiative to hug her and walk, Lu Mingyu had never been so intimate.

Lu Rong touched his daughter's head, "Ah Nuan, Daddy thought of a way to let you heal Chu Xing's eyes."

Lu Mingyu raised her head in surprise, "What way?"

Lu Rong said a few words in a low voice.

Lu Mingyu suddenly realized, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "Father is still smart."

Lu Rong laughed, "It's just that this method is a bit risky for Chu Xing. Whether it is feasible or not depends on him." My brother-in-law wants to marry Chu Xing's cousin, and the two families are relatives. Chu Xing saved his daughter again. Everyone deserves an answer.As the daughter said, Chu Xing will lose an arm during the expedition this year, so if the eyes are cured in advance, it is possible to keep that arm.

Lu Mingyu nodded, she would try her best to help Chu Xing within her power, but Chu Xing refused to cooperate, and she would not tell her big secret just to win his trust.

It was only a quarter of an hour's drive away from the Duke of Chu's mansion and Lu's house. While speaking, the carriage was almost arriving.

Lu Mingyu couldn't help it, quietly opened the curtains, and looked out through the narrow gap. At first, she could only see the magnificent courtyard wall of the Duke's Mansion. As the carriage got closer, a majestic stone lion came into view. Then, there was the figure of Chu Xing, he was wearing a dark robe, his face was as cold as jade, and behind him was...

Lu Mingyu's eyes were straightened, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the 14-year-old Chu Sui, a young man bathed in the warm winter light, with a smile on his mouth, like...

"Ah Nuan." A slender white hand stretched out and pulled the curtains flat.

Lu Mingyu didn't know why she wanted to cry, but tears did come out.

She died so badly that she didn't even see Chu Sui's face before she died, and when she opened her eyes, she had to start all over again.She likes her parents, but she has a big heart after all. After experiencing the days when the husband and wife are as sweet as glue after marriage, Lu Mingyu is eager to grow up, so that she can marry Chu Sui again, and be pampered and spoiled by him. treasure.

Xiao didn't dare to let her husband know that her daughter was crying, so she moved to her daughter's side seat, hugged her daughter and gently kissed the little girl's hair, "Ah Nuan is not afraid, as long as Chu Suiren is good, as long as you like him, mother will help him." It's up to you." She could tell that her daughter had a deep-seated love for Chu Sui, and a couple who were sweet and sweet suddenly separated. They didn't know each other when they met, and they were like strangers. She should joke and comfort her I also have to comfort my daughter.

Lu Mingyu hummed, quickly regained her composure, and just finished wiping her eyes when the carriage stopped.

"I'll get out of the car first."

Lu Rong supported the car, and said to his wife and daughter in a low voice. From the short "hmm" of his daughter just now, he heard a hint of crying.

"I'll go first." Lu Mingyu said in a relaxed tone, her father could get out of the car long ago, but Lu Mingyu wanted to honor her father.

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingyu bent down and leaned out of the carriage, and when she saw Chu Xing walking over, she smiled sweetly, "Uncle Biao, we are here to see you."

The little girl smiled innocently, Chu Xing nodded slightly, and when picking mulberry to help Lu Mingyu get out of the car, he made a gesture of helping Lu Mingyu from the side. After Lu Mingyu got off the car, he cast his eyes into the car, waiting to greet Lu Rong and his wife.But Lu Mingyu was timid because of his closeness to his hometown. He wanted Chu Sui the most, but he was the least daring to look at him. He walked up to the two sisters of the Chu family and called out with a smile, "Yingying, Xiangxiang."

Chu Ying is five years old and is Chu Xing's biological sister.

Chu Xiang is four years old and is Chu Sui's biological sister.

"Sister Ah Nuan, does your neck still hurt?" Chu Ying worriedly looked at the scar on Lu Mingyu's neck, thinking of the dangers she had heard, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became for Lu Mingyu.If she also encountered bad guys cutting her neck with a knife, she would definitely be afraid of crying.

"The pain is gone, Yingying, don't worry." Knowing that Chu Ying was timid, Lu Mingyu deliberately touched the scar on her neck to show that it didn't hurt.

Chu Ying's palm-sized face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

Lu Mingyu looked at Chu Xiang again, her sister-in-law in her previous life.The two girls of the Chu family, Chu Ying is weak and Chu Xiang is savage, but the two sisters-in-law have always had a good relationship. Chu Xiang will tell Lu Mingyu any little secrets. For example, when the second wife of Chu chose a good husband for Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang would Ask Lu Mingyu to complain about the shortcomings of those young talents, and she is very picky.

"Sister Ah Nuan, can your scar disappear? It's so ugly." Four-year-old Chu Xiang said bluntly, childishly speaking.

Lu Mingyu smiled, and teased her with an aggrieved face, "It won't fall off, the doctor said it will grow bigger and bigger, it will be around the neck, and anyone who touches me will grow it on her body."

When Chu Xiang heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately hid behind his brother.

Lu Mingyu looked at her exposed face and smiled.

"Xiangxiang, don't listen to our niece, she's scaring you, let me touch her."

The familiar teasing of Qingyue came from above her head, Lu Mingyu couldn't help raising her head, just when Chu Sui's hand came down, pinching her smooth and delicate cheek precisely.His fingers were as warm as ever, and that temperature made her greedy. Lu Mingyu stared blankly at the young Chu Sui, at his not yet fully grown but still handsome facial features, lost her mind.

In Chu Sui's eyes, this little girl from the Lu family is silly and cute, and she is so obedient after being pinched, unlike the two younger sisters in the family. Every time he stretched out his hand, the younger sisters ran away with a smile like a bird. Give him a pinch.It was rare to meet a good rabbit, Chu Sui bent down, and wanted to tease a few more words, when Lu Rong suddenly coughed slightly from one side.

With the elders at his side, Chu Sui let go of his hand tactfully, and went to greet Lu Rong and his wife.

Lu Mingyu's gaze followed him involuntarily.

"My niece is lying, you are not good, I will beat you!"

After checking her brother's hand, Chu Xiang happily jumped over and patted Lu Mingyu's arm mischievously. This made the elder's score in front of Lu Mingyu. Even Chu Ying laughed, sister Ah Nuan was two or three years older than them years old, but now she is going to be their cousin and niece.

The word "niece" finally brought back Lu Mingyu's thoughts. Just as he was about to turn his head to teach the mischievous Chu Xiang a lesson, Chu Sui suddenly looked over there, his eyes staring like stars, as if he had some deep meaning.Lu Mingyu's heart beat faster, why did Chu Sui look at her, it was...

"By the way, Ah Nuan, why don't you call me Uncle Cousin?" Chu Sui asked solemnly.

Hearing these words, Lu Mingyu's excited heart suddenly fell back, she gave Chu Sui a hard look, and turned her head to play with the Chu family sisters.Who is he? She thinks about him all the time, but he still thinks about being a cousin. Go ahead and dream.

Seeing the little girl turn around angrily, Chu Sui was stunned, and he didn't do anything. Why is the little girl angry?
"Third Lord, madam, please come inside." Chu Xing next to him invited Lu Rong and his wife to enter the door. Hearing the movement here, he looked over with his phoenix eyes, turned his eyes around his cousin and future siblings, and then calmly retracted them.He has never experienced love between a man and a woman. Since his cousin was able to marry his younger brother and sister later, there must be his way, so there is no need for him to remind his cousin to be nice to Lu Mingyu.
