Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 32
It took a while to walk from the main gate of the Lu family to Ning'an Hall, and Zhu sent the eldest mother beside her to pick up the guests, and then inquired about Chu Xing with his daughter-in-law, "I remember that the son is only one year younger than Congjian?"

Xiao nodded, "Yes, he is one year younger, but he is the commander of the Shenshu camp. He has to listen to him. But the son is young and promising, and the emperor deserves his title of commander. The last time Ah Nuan had an accident , such a big mountain, Shizi went into the mountain alone, and rescued Ah Nuan in one fell swoop."

Being young and capable, Mrs. Zhu has a better impression of Chu Xing. Hearing that the nurse outside is leading someone over, she immediately urged her daughter and granddaughter in a low voice, "You two go out and pick them up." Chu Xing brothers and sisters are juniors, she and The daughter-in-law does not need to go out to greet her, but Chu Xing is the savior of the granddaughter, so the granddaughter should be more enthusiastic.

Lu Mingyu understood this reasoning, called her aunt, and the two little girls went out together.

In April, the sun was shining brightly, and the front of the main room was brightly lit. Suddenly, two little girls stepped out. Chu Xing looked over instinctively, and at first sight saw Lu Mingyu wearing a lavender skirt.I haven't seen her for nearly a month. The little girl seems to have grown a little taller, her face is pink, but there is not much change.

"Uncle Biao, Yingying, you guys are here!"

Just as she was about to look away, the little girl over there suddenly smiled and led her aunt toward them quickly.

Out of etiquette, Chu Xing had no choice but to keep looking at Lu Mingyu. After all, the little girl didn’t know that he was reborn, so she called him cousin uncle so enthusiastically. If he didn’t even look at him, he would react indifferently. Chu Xing was afraid that Lu Mingyu would misunderstand that he didn’t want to see her. .

"Sister Ah Nuan." Chu Ying called happily.

Lu Mingyu said "Hey", held Chu Ying's little hand affectionately, and then looked at Chu Xing naturally, "Uncle Cousin will have dinner at our house at noon, I want to play with sister Yingying for a while." Taking the opportunity to secretly observe Chu Xing's behavior The left eye, the phoenix eye, is bright and deep, and it seems to be no different from the right eye.

The little girl combed a cute bun with a small face. Although she knew that Lu Mingyu was born again, but facing such a delicate and beautiful face and listening to her innocent childish language, Chu Xing didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her. The strange thing, bowed his head and declined politely: "Thank you, Miss Si, for your kindness, but we still have something to do in the house, we have to leave after sitting for a while."

When Lu Mingyu heard this, she showed a disappointed expression, but she didn't mind at all, she was polite, and led Chu Ying forward, without looking back again.When he arrived at the main room, Chu Xing stood and chatted with Zhu Shi and Xiao Shi. After a brief greeting, he told his sister to be obedient, and then went to the front yard to meet Lu Zhan.

Lu Mingyu led Chu Ying to pick a dog, and the little girls got together to play for a long time, until Chu Xing came to pick up his sister and go home.

After seeing off the guests, Lu Mingyu followed her mother back to the third bedroom.

All the gifts from Chu Xing were placed outside, and they gave Xiao two plates of pomegranate potted plants, which meant many children and many blessings, which was very appropriate for the occasion.Lu Rong was given a top-quality Duan inkstone, and Lu Rong wrote a good handwriting, so this gift is also very suitable.Lu Mingyu's gift was chosen by Chu Ying, a pair of white and fat Huishan clay figurines, fun and interesting.

"When the younger brothers and sisters are born, let them play with them." Lu Mingyu touched her clay figurine, and laughed, she wouldn't play with these things.

Standing in front of the two potted pomegranates, Mrs. Xiao liked it more and more. This Chu Xing looked cold and cold. She never expected to be so careful in giving gifts. She was pregnant with a child, and she hoped for a safe birth of a son?

"Ma'am, the prince also sent two baskets of cherries. The old lady asked someone to divide them into five parts. The ones from our side have already been delivered. Would you like to taste them first?" Li Nanny asked with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao likes to eat sour food recently, and when she hears cherries, she becomes greedy, so she said to Nanny Li: "Wash it up, remember to send a plate to the third master." Counting the time, the husband who went out to get some fresh air should come back .

Nanny Li nodded, glanced at Qiuyue and Bitan, and asked Bitan to deliver cherries to the third master.Madam told her to be on guard against Bitan. Important errands should not be assigned to Bitan. It is better to assign this kind of errands to Bitan, so that Bitan will not notice that something is wrong.

Bitan obediently went to the kitchen to wash the cherries. The bright red cherries became even brighter after washing. She shook the water and put them into the fruit plate, one after another.Putting a plate full, Bitan held up the plate with one hand, covered the cherries with the other hand to control the water, and let the accumulated water in the fruit plate flow out, but seeing that the water droplets were getting less and less, Bitan's heart suddenly moved.

She has been worrying about how to drug Mo Zhu and the third master at the same time. Isn't this plate of cherries just her chance?

"Sister Bitan, there is no water!"

The reminder from the little maid came to Bitan's ear, and Bitan came back to her senses. Seeing the little maid looking at her jokingly, Bitan smiled awkwardly, and said to her: "You send the lady's first, it's not convenient for the third master to eat. , I'll wash it again."

When the little maid heard this, she immediately decided to wash the cherries she was in charge of again.

Bitan ignored her, turned her back to the little maid, quickly took out the small porcelain bottle hidden in her purse, and poured half of it into the copper basin for washing cherries.The medicinal powder was colorless and tasteless, Bitan put water into it, stirred it a few times, and it quickly disappeared without a trace.Bitan heaved a long sigh of relief, re-soaked each cherry, moved it to a white porcelain plate again, drained the water, Bitan carried the plate with both hands, and sent it to the front yard.

Lu Rong just came back. In the early summer, he inevitably sweated a little when he went out. Lu Rong was happy and clean, and was going to visit his wife in the backyard after taking a bath.After so many years, Lu Rong got used to Mo Zhu's service, but Lu Rong also had his own rules. Before marrying his wife, he couldn't accept any woman looking at his body. Lu Rong never used Mo Zhu to help her dress or bathe.

"Third Master, you can go in now." The Xici Room was where Lu Rong bathed. Mo Zhu packed it up and came out to report.

Lu Rong didn't say anything, and stood up directly. In fact, he can already see the shadows that symbolize the door, tables and chairs, and Mo Zhu, and can also see blurred colors, but Mo Zhu doesn't know that he is treating his eyes. So Lu Rong still picked up the bamboo stick, lightly stepped into the Xici room, closed the door and plugged it in, and then walked towards the bathtub with light, acting perfectly.

Mo Zhu stood at the door, hearing the sound of water coming from inside, she couldn't help looking at the door panel in front of her with complicated eyes.

What does the third master without clothes look like?She loves this man, she used to be the closest woman by his side, but she is just a servant girl, she is not qualified to serve him further, she can only watch the third master marry Xiao Shi, and see Xiao who has never met before Shi, became his wife easily, and became the husband and wife of her dreams with him.

Unable to restrain himself, Mo Zhu stretched out his hand and slowly approached the door, wanting to get closer to him.

But at the moment when her hand was about to touch the door panel, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.Mo Zhu's face changed suddenly, like a thief who was caught dirty by someone, Mo Zhu turned around quickly, and walked quickly to the door, and when he was far away from the Xici room, he slowed down, pretending to be curious about who came, and stepped out the door.

"Sister Mo Zhu, Mrs. Chu and Miss Chu came to our house today to pick up the dog and gave me two baskets of cherries. Madam asked me to wash a plate first and bring it to the third master to taste. How is it? Has the third master come back?" Seeing Mo Zhu, Bitan smiled brightly and authentically, with undisguised arrogance and complacency in his smile.

None of the maids on the madam's side liked Mozhu, she and Qiuyue especially, unless the third master was present and needed to do some face-saving work, they usually looked at each other coldly.Bitan is not too stupid to be a maid, she understands that if she suddenly becomes nice to Mo Zhu because she wants to coax Mo Zhu to eat cherries, it will only arouse Mo Zhu's suspicion, and it will be counterproductive.

Mo Zhu has long been used to Bitan and Qiuyue's cynicism, facing Bitan's smiling face, she smiled back, "The third master just came back and is taking a bath."

Bitan had already arrived at the entrance of the main room, looking at Xicijian, she walked into the main room with cherries in her hand, put the plate on the rectangular rosewood wood inlaid marble table in the middle, looked at the black bamboo, turned around with a little disdain, and raised her head Look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the north side.Mo Zhu expected that Bitan would explain the origin of the cherries to the third master face to face, so he stood silently on one side without disturbing each other.

About two quarters of an hour later, Lu Rong came out. His long black hair had obviously been washed and was wiped dry by him, hanging down his back.

"Bitan is here?" Lu Rong skillfully walked to his seat and asked calmly.

Bitan smiled and explained why he came, and just as he finished speaking, Mo Zhu walked to the table, picked up the plate and put it back to its original place, and said softly, "Third Lord, try it." It was like reminding Lu Rong where to put the cherries.

Lu Rong unconsciously smiled at the cherries presented by his wife, raised his hand, and ate two in a row.

When he ate the second one, Bitan smiled sincerely and persuaded Mo Zhu, "Sister Mo Zhu, please try it too. These are also cherries from Dengzhou, they are delicious." They are all big maids trusted by the master, There are so many cherries, even if Bitan doesn't persuade Lu Rong that he can't finish eating, he will reward Mo Zhu, so Bitan's words are not considered presumptuous.

Lu Rong nodded, agreeing with Bitan's words.

Mo Zhu politely declined, Bitan enthusiastically picked up two and insisted on her eating.Mo Zhu only thought that Bitan was deliberately pretending to be a good person in front of the third master, and he didn't want to push him around to upset the third master, so he took it, and bowed his head to taste it under Bitan's hypocritical attention.

After eating two pills, Lu Rong stopped eating, and said to Bitan, "Go back and tell Madam, if my hair is dry, go there."

Bitan smiled and said: "Your servant understands, Third Master, don't worry, Fourth Miss is talking with Madam."

Lu Rong hummed, and when Bitan left, he looked in Mo Zhu's direction, "You can eat these cherries, if you can't finish them, share them with others." After speaking, he went to the inner room alone, waiting for his hair to dry completely.

Mo Zhu watched him go in, knowing in his heart that the master didn't need her to accompany him, and if he came out, he would go directly to the backyard.

The surroundings were quiet, and the quietness was more like deserted, Mo Zhu was doing nothing, and his eyes gradually fell on the plate of cherries.Lu Rong, like other daughters of rich families, Miss Qianjin, often rewarded the maids with pastries and fruits that could not be used up. Mo Zhu was never polite, and he ate as much as he wanted. Although the cherries were sent by Mrs. Xiao today, they couldn’t last. The sweet and sour cherries are so delicious, even rarer than cakes, Mo Zhu swallowed, and started to eat continuously while paying attention to the movement in the inner room.

As he ate and ate, Mo Zhu thought of the sound made by the man just now when he was taking a bath, and thought of Lu Rong's flirtatious figure when he let out his long hair. The coldness and alienation in front of her suddenly became easy to approach.

Mo Zhu licked his lips subconsciously, and Lu Rong's lips after eating the cherries appeared in his mind, rosy and shiny...

After eating the cherries, the traces of sourness stirred up the admiration that Mo Zhu had kept in his heart for more than ten years.Mo Zhu stared at the door curtain not far away, the more he looked, the more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat.She was also wronged, and she wanted to cry because she was wronged. Why had she been with the third master for so long, but never served him once?
Mo Zhu wanted to be the third master's woman, even once.

But will the third master want her?
Mo Zhu hesitated again, the third master liked Xiao Shi so much, what if he refused to have her?At that time, when he realizes that she should have wishful thinking, will he drive her out of the house in a fit of anger?Thinking about it this way, as if a basin of cold water was being poured down, Mo Zhu blankly shook his head, telling himself not to be impulsive, and then he felt like retreating, and hope emerged from the bottom of his heart.

The wife is pregnant, and the third master hasn't touched a woman for a long time. After being a vegetarian for so long, maybe he will want her?She has had a master-servant relationship with the third master for more than ten years, and the third master treats her so well. In order to maintain her status as a maid, he would rather neglect his wife for several years. As long as the third master wants her, he will definitely treat her with his behavior. She is in charge, right?
Mo Zhu smiled happily.

She wants to be the third master's woman, even if it's only once in a lifetime, she is willing.
