Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 205

March is a beautiful spring, and even the early morning wind carries a hint of warmth.

The maids started their busy day lightly. Inside the warm tent, Lu Mingyu was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt her hands kicked by something.When her daughter slept with them, Lu Mingyu was more vigilant. When she opened her eyes, she saw her daughter who was covered by a small quilt alone at some point woke up and was trying to crawl out. When she looked up and saw her, the little girl was stunned. Dazed, he laughed along with him, and crawled excitedly towards his mother.

The little girl who is one year old is fair and beautiful, just seeing her daughter can make Lu Mingyu laugh all day long.

Lifting the quilt, Lu Mingyu brought her daughter over.

Tangtang skillfully climbed on top of her mother, raised her head, and wanted to see her father who was sleeping outside.

Chu Xing and Lu Mingyu woke up almost at the same time. Seeing his daughter looking for him, Chu Xing raised his daughter's armpit with a big hand, put the little girl on his chest with a little force, and then lowered his head to teach his daughter, "Tangtang calls Daddy."

"Daddy!" Tangtang yelled clearly, and when he opened his mouth, his eight small deciduous teeth were exposed.

Chu Xing couldn't help laughing, and kissed his daughter rewardingly.My daughter is very smart, not only can clearly call out her parents, aunts, aunts, and uncles, but she can also walk quite steadily, except for the help of adults when crossing the threshold, the little girl can already walk from the inner room to the main room.

"And mother?" Lu Mingyu turned sideways and held her daughter's chubby hand.

Tangtang liked her mother more, so she kicked her calf and crawled towards her.

Chu Xing smiled and acquiesced.

Lu Mingyu's chest was not as forbidden as her husband's, so she sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, hugged her daughter and coaxed, "Tangtang is going to catch Zhou today, great-grandmother, grandmother, and aunt are all coming to our house to see Tangtang, Tangtang must be obedient ,Did you know?"

Tangtang didn't know, she leaned mischievously in her mother's arms, raised a little foot to step on her father's shoulder, and was caught by her father, the little girl couldn't stop laughing, the laughter was clearer and sweeter than the early birds outside .Chu Xing liked it very much. He held his daughter's little feet and said to his wife with emotion: "Tangtang is like you."

If she was like him, her daughter couldn't be so lively and smart.

Lu Mingyu is not modest, "It's better to be like me."

After she finished speaking, she laughed and tilted her head to look at him, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chu Xing didn't smile, Feng Yan looked at his wife tenderly, he liked her, and also liked his daughter to be like her.

The family of three played on the bed for a while, and soon got up, Chu Xing went to wash up, Lu Mingyu took care of her daughter first, washed the little girl's face, combed her hair, and then changed into bright red festive clothes.When Chu Xing came out of the clean room, he saw the little bump on his daughter's head, and boasted very seriously, "Tangtang is so pretty."

Tangtang understood this sentence and rubbed the top of her head happily.

Then Chu Xing coaxed his daughter, and Lu Mingyu went to comb her hair and dress up. After the matter, the family of three went to Sanqiu Hall.Whenever there is a happy event in the Duke's Mansion, the two families will gather in the Sanqiu Hall to have dinner with Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai got sick because she had put too many things in her heart, but she couldn't do everything she wanted. Over time, her old body couldn't stand the toss, and the illness came like a mountain.Now forget about those "ambitions", and follow the prescriptions prescribed by Miracle Doctor Ge, Mrs. Tai's face has gradually recovered a little rosy, and she is in good spirits.

Moreover, although she couldn't remember her family when she just woke up, the sense of intimacy in her bones was still there. After a few days of filial piety in front of her children and grandchildren, Mrs. Tai accepted the family smoothly, and she usually listened to the memories of her granddaughters. The happy things in the past, and teasing the lively and lovely great-granddaughter, live a comfortable and leisurely life.The grandmother smiled a lot, and the guilt in Chu Xing's heart gradually faded, and he tried to spend as much time as possible every day to be filial in front of the grandmother.

After dinner, Chu Xing took a chance to talk to his grandmother alone.Looking at the benevolent Mrs. Tai, Chu Xing felt lingering fear, and said cautiously: "Grandmother, Yingying is fifteen. I have a colleague who is young and promising, and has good conduct. The emperor relies on him very much. Today he will come to our house to be Tangtang To celebrate her birthday, grandma palmed Yingying's eyes?"

Mrs. Tai said "Oh" unexpectedly, and asked with a smile, "Which family is it from?"

Chu Xing introduced Liao Shou for a while, only saying that he came from a poor family.

Mrs. Tai may have forgotten some things, but she has a sense of superiority towards her family's status in her bones. Hearing this, she frowned and murmured, "Would it be a little wronged?"

Chu Xing's palms were sweating, and he said calmly: "I'm actually a little worried, but Yingying saw him twice by accident, and somehow she fell in love with him. Grandmother and grandson think that the most important thing is to get along with husband and wife. Although Liao Shou He came from a low family background, but he is a clean-spirited man, and he married Yingying, so there is absolutely no worry about being a concubine."

Mrs. Tai nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Since Yingying has already taken a fancy to him, he is probably not bad. Grandma will see it later."

Chu Xing breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

As soon as it was released, the concierge sent someone to announce that Liao Shou had arrived.

Chu Xing was so rare that he could not believe his ears. He had just had breakfast at home, and even his mother-in-law and the others hadn't arrived, yet Liao Shou was the first to come?He was still shocked, but Mrs. Tai laughed, looking out of the window and said: "This Liao Shou is quite impatient, at first glance, he puts Yingying at ease, since he is here, Shi Jin quickly go and bring him over for me to have a look .”

Chu Xing reluctantly went to pick up the man, and before leaving, he whispered to his wife to help pay attention to Mrs. Tai, lest her grandmother suddenly remember the past.

Lu Mingyu helped Mrs. Tai to sit in the main room, and whispered some kind words for Liao Shou.

Mrs. Tai smiled and looked to the side, where her granddaughter was hiding.

After about a cup of tea, Chu Xing led Liao Shou to come.People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and their daughter is one year old. Today, Chu Xing is wearing a luxurious purple brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and a fair and handsome face. Walking from afar, he looks like a fairy descended from heaven.

Beside him, Liao Shou obviously dressed up specially, wearing a brown moiré round-neck gown, which matched his cold face and dark complexion, making him look calm and solemn.Thick eyebrows and big eyes, mighty and impressive, with the bearing of a general.

Seeing Mrs. Tai, Liao Shou respectfully saluted. The words of respect were drawn up by the housekeeper in advance. Liao Shou had already memorized them by heart. When wishing Mrs. Tai a long life, he used several elegant allusions, which were both literary and sincere.

Mrs. Tai saw that he was tall and straight, standing next to the eldest grandson but was not overwhelmed by the grandson's handsome appearance, like a green pine on the top of a mountain. Keep sitting.

Liao Shou couldn't understand the meaning behind Mrs. Tai's smile, and looked at Chu Xing nervously, worrying about his poor performance

Chu Xing nodded unrecognizably, he could see that his grandmother was quite satisfied with Liao Shou.

Sure enough, after Chu Xing accompanied Liao Shou to the front yard, Lu Mingyu softly asked Mrs. Tai what she thought of Liao Shou, and what Mrs. Tai said was all praise.After all, Liao Shou is the commander of the Jinwu Guard, and has a bright future. Mrs. Tai was originally dissatisfied with Liao Shou. First, she disliked Liao Shou's background, and second, she felt that Liao Shou was useless to King Qing. Now there is no need to consider the latter. Liao Shouwei's figure is outstanding. Talent is enough to offset his lack of background.

After Liao Shou left, other guests came to the door one after another. The members of the Lu family and the relatives of Prince Zhuang's residence almost arrived one after another.

As the great-granddaughter celebrates her first birthday, Lu Zhan, Minister of the Ministry of War who seldom goes to banquets, also comes, competing with Prince Zhuang to hold Tangtang.Tangtang has more chances to see Lu Zhan, so he prefers to be hugged by his great-grandfather. Lu Zhan is holding the little baby girl, with a rare expression of joy, so angry that Wang Zhuang next to him walks over to scold his granddaughter, and tells Lu Mingyu to go to the palace more often .

Lu Mingyu complied obediently.

When the auspicious time came, the maids spread red silk cloth on the couch, filled with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework jewelry, etc. After they were arranged, Lu Mingyu put her daughter on it and taught the little girl to choose one she liked the most.Tangtang usually likes to grab things to play with. Today, seeing so many things at once, the little girl crawled up and picked up one thing. After playing for a while, she was soon attracted by other toys.

Everyone just watched her crawl.

Lu Mingyu was smiling all the time for her daughter's naive look, until her daughter's chubby hand stretched out for a bracelet with a bell on it, Lu Mingyu finally couldn't laugh anymore.The catching objects she asked to prepare didn't have bells on them. Could it be that a relative put that bracelet on it?There are indeed such cases where relatives bring gifts to their children.

Lu Mingyu secretly observed the guests, because Chu Sui was relatively close to his family, Lu Mingyu could see the happy smile on Chu Sui's face at a glance.Why the joy, it must be because his niece grabbed the gift he prepared!
Lu Mingyu bit her lower lip.She was not dissatisfied with Chu Sui giving her daughter a gift, but the bell...

As soon as the thought came to her mind, the little girl on the couch was already shaking excitedly, shaking the bell bracelet with her little hand, turning her head and smiling at her mother.

Lu Mingyu glared at Chu Xing in annoyance when he thought of the anklet Chu Xing used to tease his daughter.

Chu Xing stood beside her, with a slight smile on his face, with a dignified appearance.

"Touch the scene to make love", Chu Xing took out his good things again at night, Lu Mingyu hid several times, but was finally caught by him.

At the second watch, the bells stopped.

Lu Mingyu lay on her husband's body and bit him bitterly, "Don't play with this in front of Tangtang again."

Chu Xing stroked her arm contentedly, "Okay."

Lu Mingyu snorted, and continued to lie in his arms, liking such intimacy.

After completely calming down, Chu Xing thought of something, and said while running along her long hair: "Liao Shou will ask a matchmaker to propose a marriage in these two days. I have read the almanac, and there are auspicious days in June and October, so we will arrange an engagement in June Let’s get married in October.” Chu Xing is not sure how long grandma can last.

Knowing his worry, Lu Mingyu rubbed him comfortingly.

Just like that, the matchmaker came to the door, and after the match, Chu Ying and Liao Shou's wedding date was set at the beginning of October.

For Chu Ying, since she got married to Liao Shou, time seems to have passed very quickly.Liao Shou has no relatives, so she doesn't need to send embroidery work to her elders after she gets married, so she only needs to rush to make her own wedding dress.Chu Ying embroiders the wedding gown that she wears almost once in her life, with special care, probably because she is too concentrated. When the wedding gown is embroidered, she realizes that it is already September.

"Yingying, do you have any sisters you would like to invite in particular?" Lu Mingyu came to Xiangyuan with her daughter as a guest. Chu Ying had to make a big deal on the thirteenth day of September. Good sister.

She handed the list in her hand to Chu Ying, and asked Chu Ying to compare it to fill in the vacancies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the list was sent out, Tangtang, who was sitting in the couch, quickly crawled over, grinning and wanting to grab the list to play.The little girl has a much better appetite, grows very fast, and is more flexible when she is mischievous. She grabbed the list and crawled inside in the blink of an eye.

"Tangtang is obedient, give it to aunt." Lu Mingyu coaxed her daughter in a soft voice.

Tangtang sat cross-legged inside, looking at her mother, reluctant to let go.

It didn't work to discuss it, Lu Mingyu deliberately frowned.

Tangtang was a little scared, looking at her mother, she reached out and handed the list to her aunt.

"Yes, it belongs to Auntie. Auntie will play with Tangtang after reading it." Her daughter was sensible, and Lu Mingyu smiled again.

After coaxing his mother, Tangtang blinked, crawled up to her aunt, sat on her lap unceremoniously, and wanted to watch it with her.Chu Ying was very fond of her niece. She hugged Tangtang in one hand and read the list to her niece in the other. After reading them all, Chu Ying thought about it and added two names.

After discussing it, Lu Mingyu is leaving.

Tangtang, however, was reluctant to part with her aunt, and sat in her arms, refusing to leave.

Chu Ying smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you go to work first, I will help you coax Tangtang, and I will send Tangtang there later." She will be married next month, and what Chu Ying is most reluctant to part with is her little niece.

Lu Mingyu naturally wouldn't object, but she was worried that her daughter would be clinging to her aunt now, and would be anxious if she couldn't see her. After walking out of the main room, she smiled and hid outside the window to eavesdrop.In the room, Tangtang didn't think about her mother at all, she was having fun with her aunt, Lu Mingyu shook her head helplessly, and led Cai Sang back to Dingfeng Hall first.

After busying with the invitation and looking at the account book for half an hour, Chu Ying came over with Tangtang in her arms.

"Mom!" Tangtang yelled loudly while still in the corridor.

Lu Mingyu pretended not to hear, Tangtang yelled one after another, and when she entered the main room, seeing her mother, Tangtang twisted her body and asked her to let her go down quickly, then walked up to her mother quickly, opening her little hands Hugging her mother's thigh, the black-haired Danfeng looked at her eagerly.Lu Mingyu put down the tea bowl, lowered her head and pinched her daughter's cheek, "Finally you know you're back?"

Tangtang giggled.

Only then did Lu Mingyu pick up her daughter, and then led the younger sister and the three of them to talk in the house.

When Chu Xing came back in the evening, Tangtang rushed to the yard early to pick up his father.

After a while, Chu Xing stepped into the inner room with his daughter in one hand.

Lu Mingyu was fiddling with a new batch of silk and satin, thinking about making some new clothes for his daughter, while Chu Xing was sitting on the couch, coaxing his daughter while watching his wife concentrate on picking out the materials.Suddenly thought of something, Chu Xing asked in a low voice: "Does Yingying have a favorite jewelry style?"

Lu Mingyu raised her head suspiciously, stared at him and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Chu Xing smiled complicatedly, "Liao Shou wants to give Yingying and Ji gifts, but I don't know what Yingying likes."

Lu Mingyu understood, but didn't answer immediately, but complained dissatisfiedly to her husband, "Liao Shou and Yingying are not familiar yet, he doesn't know it's reasonable, as an elder brother, you don't know what your own sister likes?" A sister-in-law might not want her husband to get too close to her sister-in-law, but Lu Mingyu felt wronged for her sister-in-law.

Chu Xing lowered his eyes in shame. Before he got married, how did he pay attention to the clothes and jewelry of the little girls?

Lu Mingyu put down the material, and came over to tease him: "Does the Duke know what jewelry I like the most?"

The corners of Chu Xing's lips rose, and his eyes fell on the tip of her hair.She was dressed very simply today, and only used a hairpin to make a cloud-like bun, but Chu Xing seemed to see a butterfly hairpin as thin as a cicada's wings, and said softly: "You like butterfly hairpins and agate earrings the most, I like the jade bracelet the most..."

Her likes and dislikes are so precious to him.

Lu Mingyu was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then a deep sweetness surged in his heart, and he didn't feel sorry for his sister-in-law anymore.

She blushed sweetly, and Chu Xing stretched out his hand to bring her into his arms, and leaned into her ear and said, "I also know that Ah Nuan likes...bell anklets the most."

With an ambiguous tone, Lu Mingyu's heart beat faster, but her little hands skillfully pinched his waist.
