Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 99

It was a bit cold in the morning in August.

Lu Mingyu lay in the warm blanket, listening to the crisp and chirping birds outside, feeling a little lost.

Yesterday Mrs. Tai sent a message to her mother, saying that she would come to visit. Did she come to see how her body was recovering like other famous women and care about her, or was it for Chu Xing's previous marriage proposal?According to Chu Xing's behavior style, it should be the latter, right?He took the responsibility for her fall to himself, and he must have thought of "promising with his body" to make up for her.

Who cares about his promise with his body?

Turning over, Lu Mingyu continued to sleep.

"elder sister……"

Lying on the bed, her younger brother's voice sounded like a whisper, Lu Mingyu turned her head in surprise, and saw Nian brother wrapped in a robe standing at the head of the bed, looking at her with big eyes, "Sister, I want to talk to you sleep."

Lu Mingyu laughed, she was away from home for two months, and her younger brothers couldn't think it right.

"Come up." Lu Mingyu moved inside and said with a smile.

The four-year-old brother Nian hehe climbed up, took off his coat, got into his sister's bed like a loach, hugged her coquettishly, and fell asleep after rubbing against her.Lu Mingyu pretended to be preoccupied and couldn't fall asleep all the time. At this time, she was hugging her white, plump and warm younger brother. She forgot about Duke Chu's mansion for the time being, and closed her eyes comfortably.

After breakfast, Lu Mingyu went back to Meiyuan first to practice calligraphy and meditate, until her mother sent someone to call her, saying that Mrs. Tai had come, then Lu Mingyu put down her pen and went to the front to see the guests.

"Come here, Ah Nuan, and show me what's wrong with your forehead."

In the main room, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Xiao took the main seats, seeing the little girl who came in in a plain dress, Mrs. Tai's attitude was as intimate as usual.After Lu Mingyu married into the Chu family in her previous life, she was very fond of Mrs. Tai, so even though she decided to alienate everyone in the Chu family from now on, and when she really saw Mrs. Tai who was kind and kind, Lu Mingyu still couldn't pretend to be indifferent, and walked over obediently with her head down. .

Mrs. Tai supported Lu Mingyu's shoulder with one hand, and brushed away the broken hair on Lu Mingyu's forehead with the other. Seeing that scar, Mrs. Tai felt very distressed, and held Lu Mingyu's hand in all kinds of pity.Lu Mingyu was sure that Mrs. Tai came here for Chu Xing, but she just pretended to be good, and didn't respond too much to Mrs. Tai.

The two families are going to discuss marriage, and they know each other well, it is natural for Lu Mingyu to be cautious and awkward, Mrs. Tai smiled, and said lovingly: "Ah Nuan, I have something to discuss with your mother, you take Yingying to play in your yard Well, the day before yesterday when you returned to Beijing, Yingying cried when she learned that you fell off your horse and was injured, so she asked me to bring her over to visit you yesterday."

Lu Mingyu couldn't help looking at Chu Ying.

Chu Ying blushed and looked at her shyly.

Lu Mingyu smiled at her, bid farewell to his mother and Mrs. Tai, and led Chu Ying to Meiyuan.

"Sister Ah Nuan, were you particularly scared that day?" Chu Ying was not very good at dealing with people, and after staying with Lu Mingyu for a while, although Lu Mingyu treated her well, Chu Ying could feel that Lu Mingyu seemed to be less close to her.Chu Ying was a little apprehensive, and tried to bring up the topic.

Scared?
Bitterness surged up in her heart, Lu Mingyu nodded lightly, "Yes, I'm very afraid, afraid of falling off the horse."

What made her more uncomfortable than being afraid was that the person she secretly liked gave her to someone else.

The deep-rooted memories that he had tried so hard to forget were brought up again unintentionally, and Lu Mingyu suddenly couldn't hold on anymore.Whether it is Mrs. Tai or Chu Ying, they are right, but she is tired of dealing with them, because the person sitting in front of her is clearly Chu Ying, and when she looks over, she sees that indifferent man.

Chu Ying's mind is sensitive, she sensed Lu Mingyu's resistance, and remembered her brother saying that he made Lu Mingyu unhappy, Chu Ying glanced at the sweet dew standing there, she walked up to Lu Mingyu nervously, quietly opened her palms, and showed the small bamboo tube to Lu Mingyu Look, whispered in a low voice: "Sister Ah Nuan, this is the letter of apology my brother asked me to hand over to you..."

Lu Mingyu looked at the bamboo tube in astonishment, Chu Xing, actually wrote to her?How could he, a dignified gentleman, do it privately?

letter of apology...

But what is Chu Xing guilty of?It's not his fault that he doesn't like her, and it's not wrong to be a good brother who takes care of his younger brother.She was always the one who was wrong, and blamed her for being easily tempted. The other party was her uncle in the previous life. Maybe she was wrong when she first acted for Chu, and she was doomed to be let out by him.

"He didn't apologize to me, Yingying take it back." Lu Mingyu held Chu Ying's hand, then got up and walked towards the door.

Chu Ying turned her head blankly, looking at Lu Mingyu's estranged back, obviously she was angry with their siblings, Chu Ying felt sore, couldn't help crying, afraid of being seen, she quickly turned back, turned her back to Lu Mingyu secretly Wipe away tears.Gan Lu was shocked when she saw it, and secretly winked at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu didn't expect Chu Ying to cry just now, and suddenly blamed herself.Chu Ying completely listened to Chu Xing's orders, a soft and weak girl, sensitive and worrying, how could she neglect her because of Chu Xing?

Signaling Ganlu to go out, Lu Mingyu quickly turned back to Chu Ying, coaxing her softly: "Yingying, I'm not angry with you, I..."

"I know, sister Nuan is angry with my brother." Chu Ying cried even harder, and took out the small bamboo tube again with blurred eyes, pleading for her brother while shedding tears, "Sister Nuan, my brother has never Liked someone, but he told me yesterday that he liked you, so what he said must be true, sister Ah Nuan at least see how he explained it, okay?"

Lu Mingyu froze all over.

Chu Xing actually told his own sister that he likes her?
The small bamboo tube in the palm of his hand seemed to suddenly warm up, and Lu Mingyu's heart beat uncontrollably.Still hesitating, still unable to forget the scene that broke her heart, but seeing Chu Ying crying so pitifully, Lu Mingyu could no longer refuse cruelly, she sighed, supported Chu Ying's shoulder and said: "Then Yingying don't cry Now, if you don’t cry, I’ll just watch.”

Chu Ying immediately held back her tears and raised her head tearfully.

For some reason, Lu Mingyu suddenly thought of the situation in the previous life when Chu Xing died in battle and Chu Ying cried into tears.Feeling sour, Lu Mingyu put away the small bamboo tube for the time being, ordered Ganlu to bring water, and took care of Chu Ying herself.Chu Ying was flattered, but feeling Lu Mingyu's tenderness and consideration, Chu Ying secretly became happy again, and whispered for her brother again before leaving, "Sister Ah Nuan, brother really likes you..."

"Hush..." Lu Mingyu made a silent gesture towards her.

Chu Ying nodded quickly, blushing.

After seeing off Mrs. Tai and Chu Ying, Lu Mingyu returned to the main room with her mother. After learning that Mrs. Tai really came to propose marriage, Lu Mingyu was in a complicated mood, "What did mother say?"

Xiao sighed softly, "Your father and grandfather rejected Chu Xing like that, knowing that they were very likely to be thrown cold water, but he still came to propose marriage in person with Mrs. Labor Tai, Ah Nuan, it seems that Chu Xing really has a deep affection for you. But no You nod your head, and your father is not at home, so I will delay it first, and only talk about it with your father."

To be honest, Xiao didn't want her daughter to marry into the Chu family again. Unexpectedly, Chu Xing was out of the game, and Chu Xing entangled him again. However, Chu Xing's appearance, character, and family background were all outstanding. It was a bit difficult for Xiao to refuse, and agreed to worry. Heavy, after all, Chu Xing died in battle in his previous life, so it would be a pity to refuse.

"A Nuan, are you still unwilling to marry?" Putting aside her worries, Xiao looked at her daughter inquiringly.

Lu Mingyu was so upset, she nodded perfunctorily, and found an excuse to go back to Meiyuan.

Staying alone in the inner room, Lu Mingyu put down the gauze curtain, leaned against the head of the bed, and turned the small bamboo tube in her hand again and again. After a while, she slowly unscrewed the plug and poured out a roll of rice paper tied with string .The ink-colored handwriting was faintly visible, Lu Mingyu pulled the string away, pursed her lips, and then unfolded.

Unfamiliar handwriting, the style of the pen is cold, and the words are like the person.There is no name in front, just the content:

If you do it all over again, you will never give up on that day.

Remorse and remorse beyond words.

If you can get what you want, you will live up to it all your life.

In just a few lines of small print, you can read it in a few glances.Lu Mingyu slowly slid down, lay flat on her back, stared blankly at the top of the bed, after a while, she held up the note again, and read it word by word, from beginning to end.

"If you do it all over again, you will never give up on that day."

She believed that if Chu Xing knew that she would rather jump a horse than be rescued by Chu Suiying, Chu Xing would definitely save her personally to prevent her from being injured.

"Self-blame and remorse are beyond words."

She believed that Chu Xing was a good person. He took care of his younger brother, but he also treated her as a junior. He must blame himself for her injury because of him.

"If you can get what you want, you will live up to it all your life."

Lu Mingyu still believes that Chu Xing is a gentleman, a real gentleman, and when a gentleman marries a wife, no matter who his wife is, a gentleman will respect her as a guest and will not let her down for no reason.

Gentleman, gentleman, looking at this cold letter, and recalling the past, Lu Mingyu suddenly realized that Chu Xing was really cold, and all his actions were in line with the conduct of a gentleman. It was a chivalrous act of a gentleman that he saved her several times, but This also shows that no matter who fell into the water or fell into the horse, Chu Xing would save them.

A gentleman is very good, but she is going to marry a husband, not to mention a father who is gentle and considerate to his mother, who is as majestic as a grandfather. After some recollection, I couldn't feel any human touch from him.

Except for the little golden horse.

But what can the golden curly that the elders give to the younger generation together during the Chinese New Year mean?Compared with the cold that Chu Xing made her feel, the warmth brought by that piece of golden scorpion was like a ray of spring breeze compared to a towering snow mountain.No matter how warm and gentle the spring breeze is, it can't resist the bone-chilling cold of the snow-capped mountains.

Holding the cold letter tightly, Lu Mingyu buried her face in the quilt and wept silently.

It's ridiculous, the moment she learned that he had written the letter, she still didn't give up, and even had a little expectation.

Three days later.

Mrs. Xiao personally went to the Duke of Chu's mansion. At that time, Chu Xingren was in the palace. When he came back, he learned that Mrs. Xiao had been there.

Chu Xing strode to Sanqiu Hall.

Mrs. Tai's complexion was not very good, and the maids all backed away. Mrs. Tai looked at her grandson wearily, "Shijin, didn't you say to apologize to Ah Nuan? What did you write in your letter?" Men and women quarreled, angry It was because she cared, Madam Tai was [-]% sure about this marriage, how could she expect Xiao Shi to come to the door today and politely refuse it?

Either the grandson made a mistake before, and Lu Mingyu didn't like him at all, or there was something wrong with that letter.

"She still refuses to agree?" Chu Xing only cared about this matter.

Mrs. Tai turned her head and hummed angrily.

Chu Xing stood there for a long time with no expression on his face, and finally spoke, but what he said was irrelevant, "Grandmother, the battle report just came from Dengzhou, and the Japanese pirates attacked several important towns along the coast. Let's go, I'll tell you when I come back, you help me get things done, I'm going to enter the palace soon."

"What?" Mrs. Tai stood up in a panic, and all the eldest grandsons and daughter-in-laws were thrown out of the sky, and she grabbed her grandson's arm with a pale face, "Going to lead the army again?"

"Grandmother, don't worry, the Japanese pirates are not strong, and I will return safely." Chu Xing solemnly assured, "Grandmother, I will go to see Yingying again. When I am away, I have worked hard for you. When I come back, I will come to you again." Be filial."

After speaking, he pushed Mrs. Tai's hand away, and Chu Xing went to see his sister with a sullen face.

"Yingying, you find a chance to give this letter to her." When he got to his sister, Chu Xing said while picking up a pen to write. He wrote faster than he said, folded the letter paper in no time, and handed it to his sister.

Chu Ying was reluctant to part with her brother, and chased him all the way to send him out.

Chu Xing got on his horse, finally appeased his family, and Su Rong rushed towards the palace.

The battle report of the Japanese pirates attacking Dengzhou spread all over the streets the next day.

Lu Mingyu also heard about it, and knowing that the emperor still sent Chu Xing to Dengzhou to support this time, Lu Mingyu didn't have any troubles in her heart.Because she knew that Chu Xing would repel the Japanese pirates, and because of this battle, he would be promoted from the commander of the third-rank Shenshu battalion to the commander of the second-rank Beijing battalion and the three battalions, with a prominent reputation.In his previous life, he was able to win a battle with a broken arm, but this time with both arms intact, he will only win faster.

The eldest sister Lu Jinyu is about to get married, and Lu Mingyu is more concerned about this.

Unexpectedly, not long after Chu Xing left Beijing, Chu Ying sent another letter, which was written in Chu Ying's name. Lu Mingyu cut open the seal suspiciously, took out the letter, and sure enough saw several cold friends who had met once. Lie small print:

Wait for me to come back for an interview.
