"Madam, second wife." Chu Xing stepped forward a few steps and greeted the two ladies of the Lu family, "It's hot today, and my grandmother is waiting for guests in the waterfront in front of her. She has prepared tea. I'll take a few more steps to go."

The man was wearing a summer robe embroidered with cloud patterns and a tall and strong figure. Although his face was as serious as a cold jade, he looked awe-inspiring at first glance, but when he entertained guests, his words and deeds were of a noble son's humble and polite attitude, cold but not arrogant, exuding the graceful style of a noble son from his bones.

The eldest lady showed praise because she was a peer to Chu Xing in terms of relatives, and Chu Xing was nineteenth, and she was already a third-rank official position, and there was a difference between men and women. She just exchanged a few simple greetings and signaled the children to salute him.

"Cousin Uncle." Lu Jinyu and Lu Huaiyu said in unison. Lu Yan actually called, but the voice was too small and almost unheard. Lu Mingyu must have avoided Xiao Huan and secretly came over to hold her hand. The reaction was slower, glaring at Xiao Huan, turning his head to see Chu Xing, and having a bright smile on his face, "Cousin Uncle."

Chu Xing nodded, his expression was light, just like responding to Lu Jinyu and others, he was not in a hurry.

But he felt strange in his heart. Maybe it was because he knew that Lu Mingyu was a member of the Chu family sooner or later. A few girls stood together. Chu Xing felt that Lu Mingyu was smiling better and his voice was better. The sound of "coon uncle" seemed to be called into his heart, making people unable to help but think that he really treated her as a niece to take care of her.

When the children called their cousin, the eldest lady was secretly observing Chen Lianshuang. Then, she found that Chen Lianshuang looked at Chu Xing with beautiful eyes like water. The fourteen-year-old girl, without any need for makeup, was as delicate and tender as water, and showed a little shyness. Few men could not be moved.

Unfortunately, the fallen flowers were intentional and the flowing water was ruthless. Chu Xing didn't look at Chen Lianshuang at all. He said hello and turned to the male guest. He noticed that Chen Lianshuang was about to come over, and the eldest lady retracted her gaze in time, and walked forward while thinking about her thoughts. After learning that Chen Lianshuang was deliberately seducing her brother-in-law, in the eyes of the eldest lady, the daughter of her subordinates sent by her husband became a hot potato. She would marry someone casually, and most outsiders would say that she was not dedicated enough to Chen Lianshuang and said that she was not kind enough to do things. She really chose a good marriage and sent a woman with a water-like beauty. The eldest lady felt sorry for the man, and the second she sincerely didn't want Chen Lianshuang to marry too well.

But some face-saving work must be done, otherwise, if Chen Lian is always holding her double at home, how can she look for someone else? Moreover, the eldest lady has a small mind. Chen Lianshuang is from a small place. She has not been well educated since childhood, and she will reveal flaws even if she knows how to pretend. For example, when facing Chu Xing's frivolity just now, the ladies and wives who came to visit the Duke's Mansion today are all smart people, and they can pick up a lot of problems on Chen Lianshuang by just a few meetings. In this way, she will arrange a marriage for Chen Lianshuang in the future. Others will not say anything when they think of Chen Lianshuang's own conditions.

"Madam, you are really good at teaching your grandson. The prince has become a celebrity around the emperor at a young age. Now the second son is in high school. One is a civil and one is a military man. Outsiders say that the two brothers are reincarnated by the civil and military star Qu Xing." When he arrived at the water pavilion, the eldest lady congratulated the grandmother with a smile.

People feel refreshed when they are happy. Today, the lady wore a stone-green wool embroidered bat pattern, which made her look even more energetic. She smiled and said modestly, and glanced at Lu Mingyu and the girls with kindness, pointed at Chen Lianshuang and asked, "No, when did you have such a beautiful girl in your family?"

Chen Lian blushed.

The eldest lady explained intimately.

The grandma is old and loves to listen to the maids around her who learn the latest news about the various schools in the capital every day. She can't guess Chen Lianshuang's identity, just be polite. The orphan from a remote town did not take it seriously at all, and continued to praise Lu Jinyu and the other ones. Facing Lu Mingyu's peony-like face, the grandma liked Lu Mingyu from the bottom of her heart, she waved to Lu Mingyu kindly, "Come here."

Lu Mingyu walked over generously.

The lady treats the little girl as the candidate for her future granddaughter-in-law, so of course she should have more pain. In addition, Lu Mingyu's uncle and the Chu family are in-laws. The lady likes Miss Lu Si so much, so other women here also take it for granted.

"A Nuan, why didn't your grandmother come?" asked the grandma softly.

Lu Mingyu said obediently: "My grandmother said they were heavy and they were afraid that they would make you more trouble when they came. It means that they would come to see you again in the New Year. My aunt was afraid that my grandmother would not be with her at home, so she would stay at home with her." My aunt Lu Jun likes to go out to play, but doesn't like to visit others. Maybe she has heard rumors before, and likes her grandmother, she loves to be stubborn and is always afraid of being laughed at.

The seven-year-old girl was so obedient to her. The lady liked her more and more. She patted Lu Mingyu's hand and wanted to chat for a few more words. Chu Xiang was anxious and ran over to grab Lu Mingyu and acted coquettishly at the elders. "Grandmother, we are going to play with the blind. You talk to the aunts. I have been waiting for the Lu sisters for a long time!"

The young man was so funny that the granddaughter made Lu Mingyu laugh and told the children to have fun and not to quarrel.

"We won't quarrel." Chu Xiang said with his little neck, holding Lu Mingyu with one hand and cousin Chu Ying with the other hand, and then called other girls to walk to the Wutong Garden on the other side of the lake. A wife of the Chu family once had a wife who liked Wutong trees and ordered people to plant a circle of Wutong on the wide grass opposite the lake to prepare eighteen lessons. Now these Wutong trees are as thick as two people hugging each other. In summer, the branches and leaves are lush like pavilions and cover a large area of ​​shade on the ground.

This is also the favorite scenery after Lu Mingyu married into the Chu family. Today, she revisited her old place. Except for her younger generation, the people around her turned from her husband Chu Sui to a group of little girls, the rest were exactly the same as in her memory.

"Xiangxiang, your shoes are really beautiful, are they newly made?"

She stared at the scenery blankly, not paying attention to when Chu Xiang was pulled away by Lu Huaiyu. Lu Mingyu looked over and saw four-year-old Chu Xiang proudly holding her skirt, revealing a pair of pink satin butterfly embroidered shoes for everyone to see. Her second sister Lu Huaiyu looked at it the most seriously, lowering her head, her eyes shining, envious and longing.

When Lu Mingyu approached, he found that each of Chu Xiang's shoes had a longan-sized southern bead on the tips, which was crystal clear and really beautiful.

"Yes, Brother-in-law, King Qing, gave me a box of Nanzhu for my eldest sister. The eldest sister ordered the embroidery lady of the royal family to make a pair for me and my second sister." Chu Xiang said proudly. After saying that, he lifted up Chu Ying's skirt, revealing the same pair of small and exquisite embroidered shoes with different patterns and colors.

Lu Huaiyu and others were very envious. Nanzhu was precious, but they were still young, so what they envied even more was this unique pair of pearl embroidered shoes. The children who originally wanted to play immediately chatted around the Chu sisters. Don’t look at the young people, women are born with beauty.

"Why don't the fourth girl go?" Chen Lianshuang walked to Lu Mingyu and asked curiously. Today, there were many noble girls about her age who were about hers in the Duke's Mansion, but Chen Lianshuang knew no one, and no one took the initiative to invite her to play with her. Chen Lianshuang could only join the girl in the Lu family in a circle of children.

Lu Mingyu originally wanted to quietly recall the love between the couple. When he saw Chen Lianshuang coming to talk to her, Lu Mingyu quickly said, "inspired" and squeezed into the girls, and praised Chu Xiang and Chu Ying. Looking carefully at the two southern pearls, it was radiant and was worthy of being from the eldest prince Qing's mansion.

"Xiangxiang, your brother passed the scholar. Will he be in the juren exam next year?" A young girl with his elder brother also took the college entrance examination asked Chu Xiang, and he was very proud, "My brother passed the scholar, and he was in the same subject as your brother."

Chu Xiang is only five years old, spoiled and says whatever he wants, "But my brother is the leader of the case, the number one, and is five years younger than your brother. Your brother is as old as my elder brother, and my elder brother is the commander!"

The good sisters were talking about jewelry a moment ago, and now they compare with each other.

Lu Mingyu was two big, and she was obedient and wanted others to be obedient. Just as she was about to persuade her, someone behind her said disdainfully in a louder voice than Chu Xiang: "No matter how powerful they are, they are not as good as me. When I grow up and become a prince, they will have to salute me when they see me!"

After hearing this, the girls looked at Xiao Huan together. Xiao Huan raised his neck and his chest, and was very handsome, successfully scared Chu Xiang and others. Only Lu Mingyu was so angry that he pulled the person away a few steps away and whispered to him, "Grandpa, uncle are living well. You are so eager to be the prince, you are cursing grandpa and the others... I tell you, if you dare to say such words again, I will tell grandpa to go and see if grandpa beats you."

It’s so funny when it is spread. Lu Mingyu wants to alienate Xiao Huan, but he doesn’t want Xiao Huan to be stupid without knowing it, which makes people embarrassed.

Xiao Huan was not afraid of his grandfather beating him, but he felt that everything his cousin said was right. Seeing that his cousin was angry, he hurriedly promised: "I won't say it anymore, A Nuan, don't be angry."

Lu Mingyu was angry and pointed at the male guest to chase him, "You go to the male guest, there are all girls here. What's the point of playing with us all day long? Be careful that someone said you are a woman too."

The threat behind him hit Xiao Huan. He clenched his fists and looked at the group of little girls staring at him. He wanted to leave but was reluctant to leave. He lowered his head and bargained with Lu Mingyu, "Then you go to our house to play with me more often. I have been waiting for you for so long and you won't come." His mother wouldn't let him go to the Lu family, so he would go every day.

Lu Mingyu nodded randomly.

Xiao Huan ran away with satisfaction.

Lu Mingyu's headache was relieved, but Chu Xiang laughed, "Sister A Nuan, does he like you?"

When Lu Mingyu heard this, his head hurts again and scolds her with laughter and tears, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, do you know what it means to like?"

Chu Xiang was dissatisfied, but Lu Mingyu did not give her a chance to talk nonsense anymore, and instigated everyone to play quickly. After a while, the adults were coming to find him. Chu Xiang was very playful and forgot about this. He looked at everyone with big eyes and pointed at Chen Lianshuang and said, "You are the biggest, you are blind first!"

That tone was like using the maid at home.

Lu Mingyu was not very comfortable. Chen Lianshuang was not good at character, but he should not be neglected like this. However, Chen Lianshuang agreed happily and squatted down and asked Chu Xiang to tie her blindfolded cloth. When Lu Mingyu saw her, the discomfort in her heart scattered. Chen Lianshuang did not hesitate to endure humiliation in order to please Chu Xiang. What else would she mind, an outsider?

After playing with her for a while, Lu Mingyu wanted to escape, so she deliberately put the veil on the ground and stepped on it. Then, on the grounds of washing her hand, she led her maid, Qiu Yuan, to Gongfang. Lu Jinyu wanted to accompany her sister, but Lu Mingyu even said no, but Lu Huaiyu couldn't bear to playmates over there, so she grabbed her elder sister and refused to let her go, so she helped Lu Mingyu accidentally.

"Miss Four, Gongfang is there." When he walked to the fork in the road, he found Lu Mingyu frequently looking at the male guest. The maid of the Chu family, who was in charge of leading the road, reminded with a smile.
