Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 78 Shangyuan Lantern Festival

Standing in front of the window of the cleaning room, Lu Mingyu pinched the edge of Feng Hong and shook lightly, and the contents fell into her palm.

It was a piece of golden gilt, the same size as other gold cocks, and only occupied half of Lu Mingyu's palm, but this piece of golden cock was carved into a small pony, the horse's body was plump, smooth and shiny, with four hooves It is deliberately carved very round, with a naive look.The horse's tail is a bit curled up, and it is as finely carved as the mane on the head of the foal, as if it has a sense of dancing with the wind. The cutest thing is the round horse ears, black eyes, and the pair of round eyes The round nostrils look like they are smiling.

Lu Mingyu is a big girl, but big girls also like cute things, Lu Mingyu held up the little golden horse, and the sun shone in from the window, the little golden horse was shining, like a cub of a magical horse left in the heaven, Lu Mingyu's heart would melt when she saw it .

This is the most desirable gift she has received this year. The big golden carp given by my grandfather, the big gold ingot given by my grandfather, the gold jewelry box given by my father, and the golden collar rewarded by the emperor don't add up to this little golden horse The foal made her like it.Putting Chu Sui's Feng Hong on the window sill, Lu Mingyu turned around, leaned against the window sill, and played with it with her head down.

She likes it, but this liking is slowly replaced by doubts.

Lu Mingyu touched the little pony's ears, and thought of the golden scorpion that Chu Xing gave to his two younger brothers. Why did it become her zodiac when it came to her?Years ago, as a token of gratitude, she gave Chu Xing a wood carving of a little pony. Chu Xing gave back the little golden horse when he lent the new year's money. Is it a gift in return?

This seems to be the only explanation.

But looking at this exquisite little golden horse that would definitely be looted by children, and thinking back to the meeting in the palace on New Year's Eve and Chu Xing's stern and majestic demeanor during the New Year's greetings just now, Lu Mingyu couldn't imagine that Chu Xing decided to give her this kind of return gift At that time, what was he thinking in his heart, and what was his demeanor...

But no matter what, Lu Mingyu liked it very much.

Hiding the little pony in her sleeve pocket, Lu Mingyu decided to put it in with an ordinary gold key, so that when grandma or maids see the little pony when they unwrap the lucky money, they won't think too much.Chu Xing's Feng Hong had seen it, Lu Mingyu turned her head, stared at Chu Sui's for a while, pursed her lips, and picked it up.

Inside is a small jade horse carved from suet white jade.

The jade is elegant, crystal clear in the sunlight, and has a kind of tranquility and remoteness, which makes people fall into memories involuntarily.

In the previous life, on her 14th birthday, when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, Chu Sui pretended to come to her house to find her eldest cousin, and then ran into some of their little girls in the garden.At that time, Lu Mingyu and him were already in love, and knowing that Chu Sui had come to celebrate her birthday specially, after understanding Chu Sui's eyes, Lu Mingyu secretly met him.

Under the green tree, Chu Sui approached from behind her, and Lu Mingyu turned around when she heard the sound, when a white jade pendant suddenly fell in front of her eyes, with a lifelike pony carved in the middle, and the jade ring was engraved with "Jade Heart Forever".

"Do you like it?" She stared blankly at Yu, and Chu Sui slowly walked around in front of her, and her tall figure enveloped her.Lu Mingyu raised her head, Chu Suifeng's eyes were bright, she held up the jade pendant in one hand, and took out an identical white jade pendant in the other hand, only the inscription became "Life and death go hand in hand."

Forever bound jade heart, life and death go hand in hand.

Vision blurred, Lu Mingyu closed her eyes.

Does life and death go hand in hand?But he kept everything from her, and in the end she died miserably, while he was far away.

Maybe when she died tragically alone, her fate with Chu Sui was broken.

Opening her eyes, Lu Mingyu looked at Chu Sui's jade pendant, turned the back of her hand, and the jade pendant fell to the ground with a "ding", breaking in two.

The jade was broken, but Lu Mingyu smiled, bent down to pick up the broken jade and put it in his sleeve as well, Lu Mingyu raised her hand and nodded at the corner of her eyes, exhaled lightly, and walked out.There were more and more guests at the grandmother's side, Lu Mingyu continued to help the grandmother earn back the capital, sat for a long time, her face almost froze from smiling, finally finished worshiping, she went to the yard with a few ladies to breathe.

"Sister Ah Nuan, come and play shuttlecock with us?"

Chu Xiang found a pheasant feather shuttlecock from nowhere, and stood with Chu Ying, beckoning to her enthusiastically, and there were three little girls around ten years old beside her.Lu Mingyu looked at Chu Xiang's and Chu Sui's somewhat similar eyebrows, nodded with a smile, and went down the corridor, the six of them were divided into two teams, and it was a competition to see which team played the most kicks.

When Chu Ying kicked, Lu Mingyu and Chu Xiang stood side by side.The shuttlecock was dishonest, flying to the east and then to the west. Chu Ying chased after her with red cheeks, and Chu Xiang chased excitedly, staring at her cousin, and accidentally bumped into someone.Chu Xiang panicked, looked sideways, and found that she bumped into none other than Lu Mingyu.

"Sister Ah Nuan, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Chu Xiang had a domineering personality, but he was very kind to the people he liked, and cared very sensiblely.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all." Lu Mingyu smiled and took a step back, her eyes suddenly fell to the ground, "Ah, the jade pendant fell off..."

Chu Xiang lowered her head, and saw that the jade pendant on the ground had been broken into four pieces. She was stunned, while Lu Mingyu bent down and squatted down, put the four pieces of jade pendant in the palm of her hand, and put together the previous appearance.Chu Xiang recognized that it was a pony, and the quality of the jade carving was very precious. Thinking that she broke the jade pendant, Chu Xiang was very annoyed, and went to Lu Mingyu to make amends, "Sister Ah Nuan, it's all I'm not good, shall I compensate you?"

The little girl looked serious, completely opposite to the attitude of Chen Lianshuang who questioned her for "hiding" her Nanzhu back then. Lu Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but she had no choice but to ask others to return the jade pendant to Chu Sui. In Chu Sui's arms?But Lu Mingyu didn't want to keep this jade pendant either, only in this way could Chu Sui know her intentions.

"No, no, no, I didn't put it away. Anyway, it's nothing important. Xiangxiang doesn't have to blame himself." Lu Mingyu comforted Chu Xiang very gently, and then, in order to make up for the guilt towards Chu Xiang, when it was Lu Mingyu's turn to kick the shuttlecock, Lu Mingyu played very seriously, not only caught up with the other team, but also surpassed a lot.

Chu Xiang and Chu Ying were so happy that they forgot about the little accident just now.

After eating the noodles at noon, everyone in the Duke's Mansion of Chu went back home.

I care about a person, even if I can't meet, I still want to know what she did today.Back in the second room, Chu Suihao proposed to send his younger sister back to her yard like a good brother. Chu Xiang was very happy, talking and laughing with his brother on the way.Chu Sui deliberately lured his younger sister to talk about Lu Mingyu. Chu Xiang was only ten years old, and he couldn't tell that his brother had any ulterior motives. After thinking about it, he became depressed and sighed: "Second brother, I bumped into sister Ah Nuan today and hurt her. The jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into pieces."

Chu Sui was surprised that the jade pendant Lu Mingyu was wearing must be a good thing, so he couldn't help asking his sister, "Is she angry?"

Thinking of Lu Mingyu's reaction, Chu Xiang smiled again, and looked up at his brother, "No, Sister Ah Nuan said it wasn't important."

The younger sister smiled innocently, and Chu followed the ghosts, but seemed to see Lu Mingyu's sly smile on the younger sister's face.He thought back and forth, gritted his teeth secretly, and still had a glimmer of hope to confirm with his sister, "Has Xiangxiang seen what her jade pendant looks like?"

"It's a pony. It's so pretty. I can't bear to part with it. Fortunately, Sister Nuan doesn't like it, otherwise she will definitely be angry with me."

Hearing that his sister said it was a horse-shaped jade pendant, Chu Sui's face turned ugly, and later his sister said that Lu Mingyu didn't like it, Chu Sui was so angry that he shook his hands, wishing to catch Lu Mingyu and teach him a lesson.However, the next moment, recalling Lu Mingyu's handsome appearance hiding behind his elder brother, Chu Sui laughed again, and his eyes were full of joy.

Okay, he really underestimated that girl, she was cruel and cunning enough, but the more she cornered him like this, the more Chu Sui couldn't wait to subdue this little wild horse, and see how much she would do if she behaved Charming.

Having dropped Chu Sui's jade pendant that she thought was brilliant, Lu Mingyu has been feeling relaxed and happy for the past few days.

After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year in the streets and alleys of the capital gradually faded, and it was the fifteenth Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.After the Shangyuan Festival, both officials and ordinary people have to officially start a busy new year. Therefore, adults and children cherish this last festival in the first month. Before dusk, the streets lined with shops such as Linglongfang and Liuhe Lane begin to be lively. up.

In the private room by the window on the second floor of Yipinzhai, the majestic grandfather Lu Zhan finally put down his chopsticks. Lu Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and he stood up immediately, walked around behind Lu Mingyu's seat, put his hands on his sister's shoulders, and asked happily: "Grandpa , can we go?"

My aunt and elder sister are engaged, and tonight they can only stay at home to enjoy the lanterns. Lu Huaiyu and Lu Mingyu have discussed that they will enjoy the lanterns with their brothers and have a good time at night.

Lu Zhan glanced at the two granddaughters dressed as young men, his tiger eyes moved to Lu Jiaping and Lu Jiaan, and said solemnly: "When you get to the street, take good care of your sisters, if they make a mistake, each of you will break a leg when you come back. "

He only had this kind of rhetoric to threaten his grandson. The Lu family brothers had long been used to it. The eldest grandson Lu Jiaping came forward and solemnly promised that he would take good care of the two younger sisters.He is 19 years old. He has a long back and waist. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has a calm and well-behaved personality.

After the confession, the four brothers and sisters went downstairs talking and laughing, followed by the accompanying guards.

Brother Heng and Brother Chong watched eagerly. Brother Heng was bold and acted like a spoiled child to his grandfather again, "Grandfather, I want to go with Big Brother and the others."

Lu Zhan shook his head, his tone was non-negotiable, "You two follow your grandparents."

Seven or eight-year-old children must be watched by adults, otherwise they will go crazy and the brothers will not be able to restrain them.

Brother Heng pouted, turning his big eyes to his grandmother pleadingly.

Mrs. Zhu smiled lovingly, "Brother Heng is obedient, and grandma will buy you delicious food later."

Grandma didn't help, Brother Heng had no choice but to accept his fate. Thinking of his younger brother who was taken by his parents to watch the lanterns and was more strictly controlled, he reluctantly felt better.

On the street, not long after the four brothers and sisters Lu Mingyu walked out, they bumped into the first wave of acquaintances.

"A Nuan, what a coincidence, you guys also come out to enjoy the lantern?"

The crowd was surging, and a young man in red was walking towards them against the current, his black eyes with floating lights fixedly looked at Lu Mingyu, happy but not surprised.
