Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 40

The Duke of Chu hosted a banquet, and Zhu and Xiao's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were pregnant, and it was not suitable to move around in midsummer, so they decided to stay at home and not join in the fun.Lu Mingyu has been looking forward to it for so long, and she will definitely go. Xiao Shi is not at ease, so after breakfast, she sends her daughter to the eldest room. one.

"Third Aunt, don't worry, I will lead Ah Nuan wherever I go, and I won't let Ah Nuan get lost." Although Lu Jinyu is only nine years old, she already behaves like a grown-up girl, thinking she understands her aunt's worries, The little girl was very considerate and authentic. After the promise was over, Lu Jinyu looked at the fourth sister with a smile.

Lu Mingyu's smile was uglier than crying, but she had made up her mind long ago that she would leave her elder sister behind whatever she said today, and find a chance to talk to Chu Sui alone.Chu Sui won the case, and she even embroidered a purse specially for him, with lychees, longan, and walnuts embroidered on it, and wished him three yuan in the future in advance.

Sit down for a while, the family is about to leave.

Outside the gate of the Lu family, the carriage had already been prepared. Sisters Lu Mingyu and Chen Lianshuang wanted to take the same car. Chen Lianshuang asked the sisters from the Lu family to get in first, and Lu Jinyu asked the younger sister to go first. Lu Mingyu was about to be polite when suddenly a familiar crisp voice came from inside the gate, "Big sister, Ah Nuan, I want to sit with you too!"

It's Lu Huaiyu from the second bedroom.The chubby little girl in white, wearing a begonia red dress today, looks cute and cute.

Lu Mingyu smiled, but glanced at the second wife and third sister Lu Yan who were behind, and almost she looked over, the second wife shouted softly: "Huaiyu is back, there are too many people to sit on your big sister's side , you sit with your third younger sister." After speaking, she winked at the maid next to her daughter, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Lu Huaiyu.

Lu Mingyu lowered her eyes and smiled. She is the second aunt who has the best face. No matter how much she dislikes concubines at home, she will always bring Lu Yan with her when she goes out as a guest. She also needs to dress up Lu Yan to ensure that everything from jewelry to clothing is exquisite. And asked Lu Huaiyu to behave closer to the concubine, so that people would know that she was a virtuous and virtuous aunt.

"Mother..." Lu Huaiyu pouted and acted like a baby.

The second lady glared at her sullenly.Lu Huaiyu didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he gave Lu Yan a hard look, and went to get in the car angrily.Lu Yan took it for granted, greeted the eldest lady and sister Lu Mingyu, walked towards the carriage with low eyebrows, and just entered, Lu Huaiyu's disgusted voice came from inside, "Come over there, don't get so close to me."

Lu Yan didn't make a sound.

Lu Mingyu sighed inwardly.Lu Yan didn't like to play with them, and it was inevitable that they would become unfamiliar if they went far. Lu Mingyu didn't have much sisterly affection for Lu Yan, but she still couldn't accept her second sister's rude and rude attitude.For a girl's family, no matter who she treats, it's okay to hate it in your heart, and it's understandable to be indifferent and alienated, but if you behave too meanly, it will not be good for the second sister's reputation if it spreads out.In her previous life, after her second sister got married, she often suffered from this temper.

After getting in the car, Lu Mingyu sat on the left seat, and Lu Jinyu came up second. Seeing this, she sat opposite her sister and gave up the main seat to Chen Lianshuang.No matter how much Lu Mingyu didn't like Chen Lianshuang, she wouldn't show it at this time. The three girls were talking and laughing along the way, but they were too close together. Lu Mingyu couldn't help but look at Chen Lianshuang's little feet under her skirt.

Not to mention, the embroidered shoes are pointed, they are indeed exquisite and lovely.

But Lu Mingyu still couldn't figure it out, why the second uncle was fascinated when he saw these feet, no matter how beautiful they are, they are just feet, what can he do?
Thinking wildly, I have arrived at the Duke's mansion.

There are quite a lot of guests in the Duke's Mansion today, and the concierge has arranged a special maid to welcome the guests.When the women of the Lu family got out of the car, a fair-skinned nanny who looked very capable was already waiting in front of her. She smiled and explained to the eldest lady and the second lady: "Madam, the lady said that it is hot today, please go to the water pavilion Sit here, everyone is over there now, so this old slave will lead the way for the madam and the girls?"

The eldest lady smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The white-faced mother hurriedly said politely, and stretched out her hand to ask the group to follow.

In the garden of the Duke's Mansion.

In fact, there are two waves of guests in the Duke's Mansion today, separated by a rockery, entertaining female guests and male guests at the same time.The female family members range from old ladies in their 60s and [-]s to new wives in their early twenties, from [-] or [-]-year-old girls to [-]-[-]-year-old girls.As for the male customers, since those who are a little older have jobs, they mainly invite honorable children who are familiar with Chu Sui or scholars from the same discipline who are good friends. Of course, some female relatives bring their children. As long as they are over seven years old, It was also arranged to be entertained by brothers Chu Xing and Chu Sui.

Among them was Xiao Huan, the grandson of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, who was also the only descendant of the Chu family who came to the Chu family today.

This banquet was held for Chu Sui, and the male guests invited were also Chu Sui's friends, so Chu Sui was very busy and had no time to get away.Chu Xing is a military general, and a group of scholars talked and recited poems against each other. He had no interest in participating in it. He stood alone in the distance, staring at the half-grown children who ran to the rockery to play, worried that the boys would be mischievous. climb.

Staring and staring, suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Huan sneaking towards the way he came.

King Zhuang was the only grandson. Thinking of Xiao Huan's temper like a bully, no one would dare to stop him when he came up with such stubbornness. Chu Xing glanced at his cousin who was surrounded by scholars, turned around, and followed him unhurriedly.Xiao Huan saw him, but he didn't care. When he walked to the intersection leading to the side of the women's family, Xiao Huan stepped on his feet and looked around fiercely.

"The grandson wants to see Lingtang?" Chu Xing stopped behind the ten-year-old boy and asked calmly.

"I'm looking for cousin Ah Nuan, I don't know if she's here." Xiao Huan said without looking back.

Chu Xing was silent, and only then remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Huan had had trouble with his cousin because of Lu Mingyu.

Looking at the expectant young man in front of him again, Chu Xing suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't want Xiao Huan to be injured in the future, but Xiao Huan was only ten years old, what could he say?The feeling of wanting to persuade another man as a man because he knew it in advance, but he must suppress it because the other party is not old enough to really communicate, is really uncomfortable.

Since he couldn't speak, Chu Xing was going to persuade Xiao Huan to go directly to his mother and wait for the female family members of the Lu family there, but before he could speak, there was a voice of admiration not far away, "Look, Ah Nuan, there are many people over there." The sycamore tree is so beautiful!"

Chu Xing's heart moved, and he turned to that side involuntarily. At a glance, he saw the quasi-brothers and sisters in the group, wearing a peach pink skirt, with hair gathered on the top of his head like a bud, and the pink tourmaline beads on the bun were shining in the sun. streamer.Seeing him, the corners of the little girl's mouth turned up, her peach blossom eyes were full of water, "Cousin, are you already here?"

cousin……

Chu Xing's eyes fell on Xiao Huan who was running towards Lu Mingyu. Seeing Xiao Huan excitedly running to Lu Mingyu's side, and the cousins ​​talking and laughing, Chu Xing inexplicably felt a little dazzling.Lu Mingyu was born again, so she should remember Xiao Huan's love for her. Once again, why didn't she know how to alienate Xiao Huan?
