Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 26 Differential Treatment Between First Cousin and Second Cousin
"uncle!"

In front of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Lu Mingyu stood tall on the carriage, and happily opened his arms towards the tall man opposite.What kind of uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, they are all separated, only this uncle is her real uncle, her favorite uncle.

The niece was tender and tender, and Xiao Congjian stepped forward with a smile, and easily hugged the little girl into her arms, turned upside down solemnly, and said distressedly: "Why is Ah Nuan so thin? Is it because your father doesn't give you food?" ?” Every time my sister returns to her natal home, she always announces good news but not bad news, but her niece secretly told him that her father protected Mo Zhu and made her angry, so Xiao Congjian didn’t like Lu Rong’s brother-in-law, a blind man, whom her sister married It's his luck that he dares to wrong his sister because of the servant girl?He didn't bother to argue with a blind man, otherwise Lu Rong would have been beaten up.

Hearing the thick sarcasm in his uncle's words, Lu Mingyu looked at his mother who came out after him, seeing her raising her eyebrows and silently asking, Lu Mingyu shrunk her neck guiltily.If it were the current her, she would definitely not secretly speak ill of her father to her uncle, but who made her really only six or seven years old?

"Daddy is very good to me, uncle, don't laugh at Daddy." Lu Mingyu defended her father with a righteous face.

Xiao Congjian snorted, thinking that Lu Rong used some method to coax away the favor of his niece and sister for the time being, otherwise where would the child come from?

"Sister." Holding her niece, Xiao Congjian greeted her sister with a smile.

Xiao frowned and persuaded her younger brother: "A Nuan is seven years old, don't hug her like this in the future, lest she always treat herself like a child and act willfully."

Lu Mingyu pouted coquettishly.

Just as Xiao Congjian was about to laugh, Xiao Huan next to him raised his head and spoke for his cousin, "Auntie, Ah Nuan is a child, and Ah Nuan is very good, not naughty at all." Xiao Huan especially likes his cousin who is small, but unfortunately he is not enough Tall, he couldn't hold up his cousin like the second uncle, and the elders wouldn't let him hug her.

"Yes, our Nuan is so good." Xiao Congjian liked what his nephew said, bent down to put down his niece, and let the cousins ​​play.

Xiao Huan stretched out his hand happily as his cousin got closer to him.

Lu Mingyu couldn't bear it.If Xiao Huan was a 15-year-old boy, she could have said it more directly, but Xiao Huan in front of her is only ten years old, and like her second sister Lu Huaiyu, although she is irritating, she has a pure nature, the more innocent she is, she must "break his heart" , the more guilty I feel.

Lu Mingyu decided to proceed step by step, as long as she doesn't get too close to Xiao Huan, Xiao Huan should have no reason to be deeply attached to her.

Putting her little hands behind her back, Lu Mingyu said sullenly, "Cousin, I'm a big girl now, I want to walk by myself."

With a puff, King Zhuang burst out laughing, his granddaughter is so cute!

Xiao Huan didn't accept it, and carefully drew the height difference between Lu Mingyu and him, "A Nuan is my younger sister, my cousin will take you away." After speaking, he reached for his cousin's little hand.Lu Mingyu refused, seeing that Xiao Huan still wanted to chase after her, Lu Mingyu quickly threw herself into Grandpa's arms, raised her head for help, "Grandpa, my cousin is disobedient, I don't want to play with him anymore!"

In the past, her cousin and cousin were close, but now she wants to slowly neglect her cousin, there must be a suitable reason, in the eyes of adults, this kind of petty temper is enough now.

"Brother Huan!" Zhuang Wang likes his grandson as well as his granddaughter, but he must be more partial to the delicate granddaughter, protecting Lu Mingyu with one hand, while scolding Xiao Huan with his eyes wide, "A Nuan doesn't want you to lead me, you go alone, wait Your aunt has new cousins, you coax them to play."

Xiao Huan blushed with anger, and called out to Lu Mingyu, "But I just like playing with Ah Nuan!"

Lu Mingyu disliked Xiao Huan's unreasonable and violent temper the most. Seeing that Xiao Huan was messing around again, she buried herself in her grandfather sullenly, pretending to be scared.Zhuang Wang's face immediately sank, and he glared at his grandson, "Are you obedient or not? If you are not obedient, go back to your room and don't make me angry here! If you dare to mess around again, I won't let you out tomorrow when your second uncle gets married!"

"How dare you!" Xiao Huan snapped back angrily.

King Zhuang really didn't expect his grandson to dare to be stubborn with him in front of his children, so he raised his hands angrily, as if to hit Xiao Huan.Xiao Huan was just impulsive, how could he not be afraid of his grandfather at all, he looked at cousin Ah Nuan unwillingly, turned his mouth, and fled behind the second uncle, hiding there to watch his cousin secretly.

"Bastard, I don't know who I learned from!" Zhuang Wang said, blowing his beard and staring.

Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing, the eldest uncle was gentle and modest, and the concubine's aunt was also well-educated. If anyone was to say who the cousin looked like, it would be the grandfather.I heard that her grandfather is not afraid of anything other than his daughter-in-law. When his temper comes up, even the emperor dares to teach him a lesson.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, let's go in?" The goal was achieved, and Lu Mingyu quickly acted as a peacemaker.

Zhuang Wang finally glared at his grandson, and led Lu Mingyu to lead the way.

The wedding will be held tomorrow, and the palace has been very busy these days. The eldest concubine, You Shi, no longer wants to see her concubine's uncle, and because of King Zhuang's order, she must arrange the wedding. It just so happened that Xiao Shi came over today, and You Shi Three minutes is really busy and seven minutes is acting, sitting in the main room, facing bills and utensil lists one by one.

"Didn't you be right yesterday?" The elder son Xiao Yi picked up an account book, flipped through two pages, and stared at his wife meaningfully.

Youshi didn't raise his eyelids, "I'm afraid of making mistakes, so can't I check it again?"

Xiao Yi had no choice but to bow his head to persuade: "Second brother's marriage is a happy event, and Xianxian is pregnant again. Put away those petty thoughts and let's be kind. Otherwise, if something happens, the father will be angry."

Youshi curled her lips, "It's as if I'm always troubling her, am I that unreasonable? She won't live with me when she goes back to her mother's house, so am I going to make trouble with her?" She just doesn't like Xiao's arrogance Why should the daughter of a singing girl act more noble than a real noble girl?That is to say, the first lady of the Lu family is from a low background and has a good relationship with her, like the second lady Lu, who doesn't even bother to be with her.

"Mother, my aunt and cousin are here!"

The son's loud and excited shouts came from the yard, and Youshi suddenly had a headache. Why did she give birth to a stupid son?Letting the younger sister at home not like it, she insisted on going to Lu Mingyu.

Thinking of Lu Mingyu, You Shi put down the things in his hands, and walked out while looking at the little girl who was being led by her father-in-law.Lu Mingyu is dressed up very festively today, wearing a concubine red skirt, with plum blossoms embroidered on the skirt, and two fat birds squatting on the branches of the plum blossoms, cute and cute, very suitable for girls of seven or eight years old, especially Lu Mingyu Carved in powder and jade, the beauty of the person and the skirt are beautiful, complementing each other.

"Mom, I also want a dress like Ah Nuan's."

Xiao Huan's younger sister, Xiao Xuan, suddenly ran in from the outside. When she entered the room, she looked at Lu Mingyu first. Seeing that her cousin of the same age was dressed so well, she immediately fell in love with her. She moved to her mother and moaned softly.

Mrs. You gave her daughter a "shut up" look, thinking that her daughter's behavior was embarrassing. The girl of the dignified Prince Zhuang's mansion will soon be formally canonized as the princess, and she is thinking about the dress of her concubine's aunt's house. Make people laugh to death.Restraining her daughter, Youshi smiled and said to King Zhuang: "Father, the maidservant here is too messy to come in and out. She is slender and pregnant. Let's go to Orchid Garden to rest first. I will go to accompany her after I finish my work." .”

King Zhuang knew that his daughter and daughter-in-law were awkward, and now that he had said hello, he took Lu Mingyu by the hand and was about to leave.

Mrs. Xiao glanced at the pile of ledgers on the table, and thanked her sincerely: "I am physically handicapped, so I can't help my sister-in-law. Let my sister-in-law take care of the simple marriage. It's hard work on my sister-in-law." He will also prepare with all his heart, Xiao Shi should express it no matter what.

What You wanted was Xiao's gratitude, he laughed dryly, and said politely: "A family, it should be, so don't be too polite."

Mrs. Xiao nodded, turned around and followed behind the grandparents and grandson. When they came in, they had agreed to go to the new house of the siblings.

Xiao Huan wanted to go too.

Mrs. You hurriedly stabbed her daughter and didn't want her son to play with Lu Mingyu. Mrs. Xiao is a big vixen, while Lu Mingyu looked like a little vixen at first glance. Mrs. You was worried that his son would be fascinated by his beautiful cousin at a young age, and the brother-sister relationship would gradually become a man and a woman over time. love, that would be bad.Cousin cousin, have to guard against.

Xiao Xuan ran over skillfully and grabbed her brother's wrist, "Brother, play with me, you promised to fly the kite with me."

Xiao Huan rolled his eyes, turned back and asked his cousin, "Ah Nuan, do you want to fly a kite?" He did whatever his cousin did.

Lu Mingyu knew Xiao Huan too well, if she dared not agree, Xiao Huan would leave his own sister behind to chase her, that would only annoy Youshi's mother and daughter even more, as uncle's good deed was coming, Lu Mingyu didn't want to irritate Youshi at this juncture, so he pretended After thinking about it, he said softly: "Okay, how many kites does Cousin Xuan have?" Xiao Xuan was the same age as her, born two months earlier.

Xiao Xuan pouted, she didn't want to play with her cousin.

Xiao Huan was overjoyed, "I have a kite there, Ah Nuan go, I'll take you to pick it."

As she said that, she wanted to come over and hold Lu Mingyu's hand. Lu Mingyu ran to Xiao Xuan's place first, held Xiao Xuan's arm affectionately, and whispered in a low voice: "Cousin Xuan, you let me fly the kite with you, I tell you my skirt is Where did you buy it?" Last year, a new Jinxiu workshop was opened in the capital. The materials there are luxurious and the embroidery is elegant and fresh. It is not well-known now, and it will take two years for it to become a famous embroidery workshop in the capital. Lu Mingyu's clothes are from there. Made by my embroiderer.

Little girls are naturally smug, and when Xiao Xuan heard that she could buy a new dress, she immediately agreed to take her cousin to fly a kite.The two cousins ​​walked hand in hand, Xiao Huan had to follow Lu Mingyu, looking for something to say.Lu Mingyu listened most of the time, and occasionally replied a few words. When they arrived in the garden, Lu Mingyu excused being tired, and sat on a bamboo chair to watch Xiao Huan and his sister fly a kite. Huannian was so foolish when he was young, so he turned back in high spirits.

"Brother, can you help me to be higher?"

"You do it yourself."

"I won't..."

There was a burst of childish voices, and Lu Mingyu rested her chin and sat beside a row of winter jasmine flowers, giving the illusion that she was looking at the child.

After a good night's sleep, Lu Mingyu put on the new clothes specially prepared for this happy event in the morning, stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right. Thinking of seeing Chu Sui again soon, she felt as if she was stepping on the clouds You can fly anywhere, anytime.

"Daddy!"

Just after breakfast, Lu Rong came. Lu Mingyu got the news and asked her mother to wait in their orchid garden. She and her uncle went to pick up her father.

As the brother-in-law of the groom's official, Lu Rong specially wore an expensive brocade dress and a white jade crown on his head today. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a long-time secluded master who has finally come out of the mountain and entered the world. He is so handsome and extraordinary , He is no longer restrained in his gestures, and exudes a romantic charm that is exclusive to talented scholars.

Lu Mingyu is proud of having such a father.

The resentment in Xiao Congjian's chest unconsciously dissipated. In terms of appearance, Lu Rong is indeed worthy of her sister.

"Brother-in-law enters the mansion, the auspicious time has come, I'm going to greet him." Someone called him from a distance, thinking of the bride, Xiao Congjian hurriedly said goodbye, and ran away like the wind.

Lu Mingyuxin also flew to Chu's house with her uncle.After sneaking in for acupuncture for his father, Xiao Huan happily came to Lanyuan to find her, and asked her to go to the front to wait for the bride and groom to enter the door. Lu Mingyu temporarily forgot the decision to alienate Xiao Huan, and happily ran away with Xiao Huan, because she could only treat herself as a child. Only children can break into the front yard to see the relatives.

The people surrounding the front yard were not only men but also children. Xiao Huan pulled Lu Mingyu and ran around, trying to take her to occupy the best position. Lu Mingyu had been a good girl in her two lifetimes. Cowardly, he accidentally bumped into someone.The little hands held together by the cousins ​​were washed away, and Lu Mingyu fell backward uncontrollably...

"A Nuan?"

Holding her firmly with a pair of big hands, Lu Mingyu looked up in shock, and met fourth uncle Lu Xun's thin face.The fourth uncle has always been in poor health, which seems to be the root cause of his mother's womb. He cannot practice martial arts, so he can only study and pass the imperial examination.

"Be careful, don't hit anyone again." Lu Xun bowed and coaxed her niece to stand up.

Lu Mingyu blushed, and nodded obediently, seeing Xiao Huan winking over there, Lu Mingyu shyly said: "Fourth Uncle, then let's go first."

"Yeah." Lu Xun straightened up, with a slight smile on his face.

Lu Mingyu lowered her eyes, Xiuli walked a few steps gracefully, looked back, saw her fourth uncle looking away, she smiled, and continued to run with Xiao Huan, met her second sister Lu Huaiyu and Xiao Xuan on the way, Lu Mingyu and the three The real naughty children joined hands and squeezed to the gate hand in hand.

One is the grandson of the royal family, and the other three are young ladies. When the guests saw them, instead of reprimanding them, they also thoughtfully gave up their space and secretly protected them, lest the four precious bumps be squeezed.

"Come here!" Xiao Huan was the tallest, and when the welcoming team approached the palace, he called out first.

Lu Mingyu couldn't help standing on tiptoe, but she was the shortest among the four children, the fat Lu Huaiyu and the wanton Xiao Xuan squeezed forward, and she was pushed behind.Now Xiao Huan has completely turned into a ten-year-old child, no matter how good-looking his cousin is, he is not as lively and attractive, he forgot to help his cousin, Lu Mingyu wanted to squeeze but couldn't let it go, stood there blushing, helpless.

"Ah Nuan..." Someone called her from the opposite side, Lu Mingyu looked over and saw Fourth Uncle smiling and waving at her, beckoning her to go over.

Lu Mingyu thought about it, but he still didn't go. Fourth Uncle would definitely hug her if he went, so that Chu Sui would treat her like a child when he saw it.

Shaking her head and rejecting the kindness of the fourth uncle, Lu Mingyu stood behind the second sister and Xiao Xuan, looked out through the gap between their heads, and saw the uncle in red jumping off the steed, their heads touched to block it, At the next glance, the bride is crossing the brazier.As the bride and groom walked into the door, the guests inside the door began to boo and crowd. Lu Mingyu's place was still safe, but Xiao Huan's three children were too rough, so Lu Mingyu managed to squeeze in next to Xiao Huan, stood in the front row and found Chu Sui who was approaching. Suddenly, I don't know who arched first, a strong push came from the right side, Lu Mingyu let out an oops, and her small body leaned forward.

This was the second time today, but Lu Mingyu secretly rejoiced, her big eyes fixed on Chu Sui, and she was about to throw herself into Chu Sui's arms by accident.

Someone supported her shoulders again, her big hands were firm and strong, Lu Mingyu's heart was pounding and she raised her head nervously.

"Be careful." As soon as Chu Xing stepped through the door, he saw the four children on the side of the crowd. Because he was the closest to Lu Mingyu, he couldn't help paying more attention. Seeing the little girl about to fall, he instinctively helped her up.

Chu Xing?

Lu Mingyu was stunned, and looked beside Chu Xing in disbelief, just in time to see Chu Sui retracting his hand, apparently also wanting to help her.

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just disappeared...

Lu Mingyu didn't know how to describe her mood, and when she recovered from the extreme disappointment, tears had already fallen, and she looked at Chu Sui with aggrieved eyes.Why aren't his arms longer, why aren't his movements faster?In that way, he will be the one who catches her. What a chance to get close.

Chu Xing noticed the little girl's eyes looking at her cousin, and he sent her to her cousin with a little force.

Chu Sui was slightly stunned, wondering what his brother meant, but before his eyes met his, his waist tightened and he was hugged.

Chu Sui lowered his head in astonishment, "Ah Nuan?"

But Lu Mingyu ignored him, her wish came true, she greedily inhaled the bamboo fragrance that was carried by Chu Sui, then let go of her hand, turned her head and ran forward, her steps were brisk, like a deer that slipped out alone, sneaking in the river that her parents told her not to approach. After drinking the water, he left happily and contentedly.Chu Sui never saw Lu Mingyu's face, and was confused by her actions. One side of Chu Xing looked at Lu Mingyu's small back, and the memory of the little girl hugging her cousin still remained in her mind. The corner of the mouth is raised, it is the kind of sneaky joy.

When he helped her, she cried, but when it was his cousin, she laughed.

why?
He looks scarier than his cousin?Impossible, others would be afraid of him, every time Lu Mingyu saw him, she would be overjoyed, she would have been afraid earlier.fell?Crying can explain it, so why did you laugh when you got into your cousin's arms?
Chu Xing couldn't think of a reason, but there must be a reason for it. He absent-mindedly walked into the palace with the guests, and as he walked, the suspicion that he had dispelled slowly resurfaced.Lu Mingyu is different from the danger in the temple in the previous life. Lu Mingyu is not sensible for her age in the mountains, Lu Rong has a doctor to help treat her eyes, and two new pregnancy incidents in the Lu family...

Maybe Lu Mingyu was really born again, that's why her attitude towards her cousin and him is so different?
