Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 83

At dawn, the entire Meiyuan was silent.The carved windows cut off the severe cold outside. In the boudoir, the light was dim. Two pots of Begonias bloomed quietly, exuding a faint fragrance. In the gauze tent not far away, the sleeping girl seemed to smell the fragrance of flowers. tilted.

Lu Mingyu was dreaming.

She dreamed about the Lantern Festival last night, but what happened was different.In the dream, when she boarded the boat, the plank still shook, causing her to panic and throw herself into Chu Xing's arms. Chu Xing carried her to the boat, but didn't let her go immediately.Lu Mingyu's heart was pounding, and she raised her head shyly from his embrace. Chu Xing looked cold on top of her head, but he held her in one hand, and gently touched the top of her head with the other, looking at her helplessly and dotingly, " Why are you so careless?"

At that time, the moonlight was like water, the lights were like clouds, and the man's unintentional gentleness was like sweet wine.

Lu Mingyu was overjoyed, and leaned against his chest recklessly.

Then the dream changed, Lu Mingyu changed into a bright red wedding dress, Chu Xing came to pick her up on a tall horse, the sedan chair bumped slightly on the road, Lu Mingyu quietly lifted the red hijab, and looked at the bridegroom outside through the gap in the car curtain, Chu Xing Xing was dressed in a red dress, with a straight back and jade-like profile, indescribably suave and suave.

However, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd, and the next moment, Chu Sui rushed over angrily on horseback, accusing Chu Xing of robbing his wife.Lu Mingyu finally remembered that she was married to Chu Sui a long time ago. Since she is Chu Sui's wife, how can she marry Chu Xing?She was at a loss, but Chu Xing and Chu Sui fought outside, the sedan chair fell over in the chaos, and Lu Mingyu crawled out in a panic. She wanted to beg Chu Xing and the two to stop fighting, but the surrounding people surrounded her and started cursing. She didn't obey women's morals, called her a vixen, and caused the brothers of the Chu family to turn against each other.

Lu Mingyu kept shaking her head, she wanted to explain that it was not like this, the crowd dispersed suddenly, Mrs. Tai walked over majestically on crutches, Chu Xing and Chu Sui stopped beating, and knelt side by side in front of Mrs. Tai to admit their mistake.Mrs. Tai looked at her coldly, saying that she was too fidgety to be the Chu family's wife, and ordered Chu Xing to write a divorce letter on the spot, breaking the marriage.

Lu Mingyu staggered and fell to the ground, with tears streaming down his face, and looked at Chu Xing, thinking that he was the only one left for her, and Chu Xing would definitely not divorce her.But Chu Xing didn't even look at her, took the Four Treasures of the Study handed over by the maid, waved a few strokes, and finished writing, he finally turned around, without any tenderness on his face.He stopped in front of her, looked at her with the gaze of a stranger, and then threw the letter of divorce on her face, "A Nuan, from now on, you and I will never give up."

Definitely...

Lu Mingyu cried out in grief, crying and crying, and suddenly woke up.

Xiwei morning light came in through the glazed window, Lu Mingyu opened her eyes, and saw the twined plum blossoms embroidered on the gauze curtain.She was stunned, and it took a while to realize that she had just had a dream, her face was a little cold, Lu Mingyu raised her hand to touch it, and she actually cried.Recalling that dream that was too real, Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing.

Really, how did you have such a ridiculous dream?
But lying lazily, Lu Mingyu couldn't help being immersed in dreams again.I have thoughts and dreams every day, is it because I was thinking about Chu Xing before going to bed last night, so...

Turning over, Lu Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then reached under the pillow with her little hand, and took out a small golden locket, which was the little golden horse that Chu Xing gave her.Lu Mingyu changed to lying flat, holding the little golden horse, her eyes gradually became complicated.

Chu Xing, Chu Xing, at the beginning Gui Yuan joked that Chu Xing was very good and it was good to marry him, but Lu Mingyu just ignored it, but the more she dealt with Chu Xing, the more Lu Mingyu couldn't help paying attention to him.He has a cold and handsome appearance, unmatched by anyone of his generation. He has a cold face and a warm heart, and he has helped her solve problems many times. remember clearly.

Chu Xing, apart from being too cold, Lu Mingyu couldn't find any shortcomings in him.

Looking at the naive little golden horse in front of her, Lu Mingyu could no longer deny that she really had a heart for Chu.

But the dream last night...

If she really married Chu Xing, would Chu Sui give her up easily?If Chu Sui can't let go, and Mrs. Tai finds out about the matter, it is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Tai to accept her as the eldest grandson's wife.These are all secondary, the most important thing is that Chu Xing doesn't like her at all, she has thought so much and dreamed so much, it is completely unfounded.

If you really want to worry, let's wait until Chu Xing likes her.

With the thought together, Lu Mingyu smiled wryly. Even though she thought so, she faintly felt that she would not be able to wait for that day in this life. Beautiful, but in front of Chu Xing, Lu Mingyu couldn't find anything about herself that could make Chu Xing look at him differently.

Chu Xing, that is a man like a god, maybe there is no one worthy of him in the world, right?

Like it, but it is destined to be fruitless, Lu Mingyu turned over melancholy, she was depressed for a while, and suddenly became cheerful again.In fact, this is very good. If Chu Xing doesn't like her, she doesn't have to worry about Mrs. Tai and the brotherhood of the Chu family. She secretly admires him, likes him, respects him as a god, and then marries someone else. She thinks it's good man, live a peaceful life.

Just like the moon in the sky, liking doesn't necessarily mean having to get it, it's good to watch from a distance.

After all, she and Chu Xing are not the same kind of people at all. Chu Xing is a military commander with great military exploits and a hero who is destined to be famous in history. She, Lu Mingyu, is just a beautiful back house girl. There is no need to wait until she dies, and waits for her to marry Well, when she gets old and loses her face, at that time, no one will care about her except the relatives around her.

Having figured it out, Lu Mingyu smiled lightly, feeling lost, she lowered the little golden horse, and kissed it reluctantly.

Put it away in a while, maybe one day when she gets old, she can take out this little golden horse and give it to her children and grandchildren. If they ask where it came from, she will say that it is a gift from a great hero...

The first month passed peacefully, the wind became warmer day by day, and in March, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming.

The ninth day of March is Lu Mingyu's birthday. Because she was born in a sunny and warm spring, Lu Rong and his wife named her "A Nuan".

Girls aged thirteen or fourteen would hold flower banquets or poetry parties on their birthdays, inviting their close friends to come and have fun at home.It was only the first day of the junior high school, and Xiao called her daughter to her side and asked her what her plans were.

Lu Mingyu inherited her parents' talent and learning. She is very talented in poetry and poetry. Because she was praised by the empress, she became a famous talented woman in the capital without knowing it.Lu Mingyu thinks that she is suspected of showing off her talent and learning by holding a poetry meeting?
Lu Mingyu didn't like publicity, so after thinking about it, she said, "Let's enjoy the flowers. Mother will ask the kitchen to make more delicious pastries. Let's go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Xiao Shi nodded, picked up the pen, and asked softly: "Then who does Ah Nuan want to invite?"

Lu Mingyu listed all the girls who had a good relationship, including sisters Chu Ying and Chu Xiang.Xiao was a little surprised, looked at her daughter and said, "Chu Xiang?"

Lu Mingyu knew what her mother was thinking, so she smiled helplessly, "She is her, her brother is her brother, mother, don't worry, Xiangxiang is just a bit more tempered, but she is actually a good girl."

Mrs. Xiao hummed, drew up the list, and sent someone to make invitations.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Lu Mingyu was trying on a freshly made summer dress when Cai Sang suddenly walked in from the outside, "Girl, the lord is here with two cousins, Madam asked you to go over."

Lu Mingyu raised his head unexpectedly, Xiao Huan also came?
Thinking of the back view of Xiao Huan leaving that night in Shangyuan night, Lu Mingyu wanted to laugh a little.Adding up the two lifetimes, she and Xiao Huan had quarreled with Xiao Huan many times, every time Xiao Huan did something wrong to anger her, she would teach him to run away in anger, and after a while, Xiao Huan would come to her to confess his mistakes .But this time was the longest time Xiao Huan insisted on. Counting it, it was almost two months.

Putting on a light green skirt, Lu Mingyu went to the front yard.

Brother Heng, Brother Nian, and Brother Ying had already played in the yard, while Xiao Huan stood sullenly in the corridor with gloomy eyes.Seeing her approaching, Xiao Huan changed his standing posture, showing an awkward and awkward look of wanting to see her but not wanting to see her.Lu Mingyu approached, seeing Xiao Huan stubbornly tilting her head to the other side, she raised the corner of her mouth and walked past him.

"cousin……"

After five steps, Xiao Huan finally called out to her.

Lu Mingyu stamped her feet and didn't look back.

Xiao Huan begged his grandfather to bring him here just to see his cousin. Now that the most difficult step has been taken, Xiao Huan felt much more at ease, and said in a flattering way: "Cousin, come out after a while with grandfather. I have something to say to you." explain."

Lu Mingyu didn't make things difficult for him, she nodded and went to the hall to see her grandfather first.

For his granddaughter's birthday tomorrow, Zhuang Wang specially found a pair of bright red coral trees as a gift, and wrapped a bulging red seal.Lu Mingyu smiled happily, and kindly invited her grandfather to have dinner at home at noon. Prince Zhuang looked at his daughter who was sitting opposite with a faint smile. Although he really wanted to agree, he still refused heartily. For more than an hour, he stayed and had nothing to do.

"No need, Ah Nuan go and see your cousin, the stinky boy said he made you angry, and asked me to bring him to make amends." Zhuang Wang said with a smile, happy to be a peacemaker for the cousins.

Lu Mingyu smiled, a grandfather and a mother are all close relatives, there is nothing to shy away from.

Asking her mother to help her keep Feng Hong, which contained an unknown number of banknotes, Lu Mingyu stepped out of the main room to find Xiao Huan.

The two of them didn't go anywhere else, they just stood in the corridor, as if they were watching the three brothers playing in the yard.

"Cousin, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lost my temper that day." Xiao Huan leaned his back against the red-painted corridor pillar and stared at Lu Mingyu nervously, "Look, it's your birthday tomorrow, a big day, cousin, don't be angry with me? I know I was wrong, I haven’t gone anywhere for the past two months, I’ve been practicing martial arts at home, if you don’t believe me, ask Brother Ying.”

He speaks softly, how can he look like a little overlord in the capital?
Lu Mingyu was not angry with him at first, so she gave him a sideways glance. Lu Mingyu sat on the bench and sighed in a low voice: "Cousin, I said you that day not because I didn't like you, but because you are my cousin. , I hope you will be an upright and broad-minded man, don't be like those dudes who don't know any manners and only know how to tease cats and dogs."

When Xiao Huan heard this, he grinned, sat down next to Lu Mingyu, and vowed: "Okay, I will listen to my cousin, and stop talking nonsense and being arrogant."

Lu Mingyu didn't believe it or not, she exposed the trouble, stared at him and said, "Does my cousin still like me?" Let's make it clear today.

Xiao Huan was stunned, his smile restrained, and he looked into her eyes anxiously, as if he wanted to see through what she was thinking.

Lu Mingyu couldn't bear it in her heart, but still lowered her head, and said to the hem of their clothes: "Cousin, we are getting older every year, some things should be cleared up earlier, it's good for you and me. I know you like me, but I really have always regarded you as a cousin, and a cousin is a cousin. No matter what you do, no matter whether I meet someone better than you, I will never like you. Conversely, no matter how many shortcomings you have, No matter how violent your temper is, I will treat you as a family member, and I will try to control you and restrain you."

Having said that, Lu Mingyu raised her head, and looked at the young man opposite her frankly, "Cousin, from today onwards, if you are willing to treat me as your cousin, it doesn't matter if we meet and talk in the future, but if you insist and want to marry Me, then I will never see you again, I will do what I say."

Xiao Huan looked at her motionless, there was no shock in his eyes, only bewilderment and grievance.

He still doesn't understand why his cousin just refuses to like him.

Lu Mingyu couldn't see him being so lost, she turned her head to look at her younger brothers, and waited for him quietly.

"No matter what I do, you won't marry me?" After a long time, Xiao Huan finally spoke with a hoarse voice.

Lu Mingyu clenched her cuffs and hummed softly.

Xiao Huan looked at her fair and calm side face, suddenly felt empty and lost, but maybe because he had been thinking about this for the past two months, he had already guessed that his cousin really didn't like him, Xiao Huan unexpectedly discovered that, Being rejected by my cousin doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to accept.His chest was a little empty and stuffy, Xiao Huan lazily rested his arms on the back of the bench, and rested his chin on Brother Heng's three children.

Lu Mingyu secretly looked at him.

Xiao Huan noticed it, turned around, saw that Lu Mingyu immediately hid, Xiao Huan somehow wanted to laugh, and when he laughed, the pain in his chest didn't feel so bad.

"Here, this is your birthday present from my cousin." Xiao Huan sat upright again, stretched himself, then took out a small box from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu looked at him carefully, and could see that Xiao Huan really seemed to recognize him, so she took the box.

Inside were a pair of ruby ​​earrings, as red as cherries.

Lu Mingyu only took one look, then immediately closed the lid, handed it back and said, "No, this is too expensive."

Xiao Huan didn't answer, and looked at her with complicated eyes, "Accept it, only this time, next year for your birthday, I will give you a dozen or so taels of cheap things at most, who told you to be my cousin." A little sad.

He was able to tease himself, Lu Mingyu was completely relieved, looked at the jewelry box, Lu Mingyu nodded with a smile, "Okay, only this time."

Xiao Huan looked at her charming smiling face greedily and reluctantly, and wanted to say something more, but Brother Heng suddenly called him, "Cousin, we are going to play in the garden, do you want to go?"

Lu Mingyu looked at Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan stared at Brother Heng, one moment he was still sitting steadily, the next moment he suddenly supported the backrest, his long legs rolled over, and he jumped down to the bottom of the corridor, his movements were chic and neat.Brother Heng's three children watched with admiration, and ran over together to ask him to teach him. Lu Mingyu became anxious, frowned, and scolded: "You are not allowed to learn!"

"I'm willing to teach, can you control it?" Xiao Huan turned his head, his eyes were provocative, and his former proud demeanor returned to his face.

Brother Heng, Brother Nian, and Brother Ying giggled.

Lu Mingyu pretended to beat them, and the three children immediately dragged Xiao Huan away, ran out of the yard, and clear laughter floated in over the wall.Lu Mingyu stood alone in the corridor, looking at the fresh green flowers and trees outside the wall, and listening to Xiao Huanqingyue's voice, she felt relieved that one of her worries had been resolved.

I hope my cousin can meet a good girl in this life, a good girl who really likes my cousin.

But that's all in the future, Xiao Huan's marriage is still unknown, but Lu Mingyu's aunt, Lu Yun is going to get married soon.
