Zhu's family has the simplicity of a village woman. She likes two little girls, Chu Ying and Chu Xiang. The Lu family and Chu family are relatives. It was almost time to have dinner. Zhu invited Chu Xing and the other four to go to Yipinzhai with them and eat at the same table.
Sister Chu Ying looked back at her brothers with expectations in her eyes.
Lu Mingyu was shocked by her grandmother's enthusiasm. She wanted to say something. When she noticed that Chu Sui looked over, she immediately turned around and pretended to look at the wood carving on one side. Her small hands were clenched in her sleeves, hoping that Chu Sui and the other four would reject her grandmother, but she felt uneasy. The first meeting of the two in the previous life was probably because of her face. Chu Sui showed different things to her at that time. The dog could not change it. Shit. Chu Sui would probably like her in this life. Since she liked it, would Chu Sui refuse the opportunity to approach her?
"The old lady invites you warmly, but we are more respectful than obedient." Lu Mingyu, who was standing behind Zhu, replied with a smile.
This Lu Si gave him a gift a few years ago and was fierce to him. At that time, Chu Sui treated her as a child and thought it was strange, but she was not really angry. Now that the little girl has grown into a beautiful girl, Chu Sui is even more lazy to care about the old grievances. He just wanted to find opportunities to be familiar with Lu Mingyu, and asked her why she didn't like him at the beginning, and called her elder brother and cousin so sweetly, and immediately gave him a bad face when she turned around. She also wanted to ask why Lu Mingyu fainted in Yueyang that year.
There were so many confusions. Chu Sui stared at Lu Mingyu's skirt and suddenly realized that he had always remembered her for so many years.
At the same time, Chu Xing looked at Lu Mingyu for the second time today. Seeing Lu Mingyu's face looking ugly and his lips were tightly pursed, he guessed that Lu Mingyu was still resentful to his cousin. Chu Xing frowned in a difficult sense. His cousin was interested in Lu Mingyu. If Lu Mingyu was willing to give his cousin a chance, Chu Xing would be happy to see it. But at this moment, he could not do anything that knew that the girl did not welcome her cousin and shamelessly indulged his cousin to bother her.
After a brief hesitation, Chu Xing took a step forward and thanked Zhu: "The old lady is so kind, I appreciate it. It's just that Lord Lu has a rare time to go out for a trip with his family. Shi Jin is really embarrassed to ruin Lord Lu's elegant mood. It's better not to bother him today. If the old lady doesn't dislike him, Shi Jin will send two sisters to the mansion in a few days to accompany you to laugh and relieve your boredom."
After refusing to say something, it was reasonable and respectful and polite, which made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Lu Mingyu is the most comfortable person, and there is no need to get along with Chu Sui at close range. Lu Mingyu was happy and couldn't help but quietly glance at the person who was unintentionally helping her. Chu Xing said this because of what she said. After saying that, he raised his eyes and wanted to observe the little girl's expression. Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, the two of them met.
His eyes were narrow, long and deep, and he glanced casually as sharp as an eagle. Lu Mingyu was panicked, and he quickly lowered his head and gently pursed his lips. His face, which was originally angry because he was worried about being with Chu Sui, was now covered with red and beautiful white peony. He was drunk, beautiful and charming.
Chu Xing understood this sudden beauty as joy.
It seems that Lu Mingyu’s prejudice against his cousin is really deep.
Chu Xing withdrew his gaze and Yu Guang saw his cousin looking at him unexpectedly. Chu Xing was not guilty and had no choice but to helpless. He should solve the trouble he caused by his cousin himself. If he was willing, he should ask Lu Mingyu for forgiveness and then pursue it. Otherwise, before that, as long as Lu Mingyu didn't want to see him, Chu Xing would not be able to help.
"Old lady, let's go first." Everything should be said, Chu Xing saluted to Zhu and signaled Chu and the other three to go out with him.
Chu Sui was a little dissatisfied with his brother's demolition of his position, and cut off the possibility of him saying a few more words to Lu Mingyu today, but his brother's rejection made a lot of sense, so he could only hide his regret in his heart and was embarrassed to ask.
The Chu brother and sister left, and Lu Huaiyu continued to pick her wood carvings. Lu Mingyu had already picked up the gift, so he took his grandmother's arm and accompanied her to choose a Buddha statue. Then he whispered: "Grandmother, Chu Sui bullied me before, and I don't like him. In the future, you can treat Xiangxiang well, Yingying, don't invite Chu Sui again."
Zhu was shocked and looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Chu Sui bullied you? How did you bully me?"
Lu Mingyu collapsed her face and lowered her head to pretend to be pitiful, "When he was a child, he said my father was blind..."
Zhu's face suddenly changed. Isn't the granddaughter's father her son who has lived for more than ten years?
Zhu is kind, but like all the mothers in the world, she protects her short-lived people. When she learned that Chu Sui was so rude, Zhu had no affection for Chu Sui anymore, and patted her granddaughter's little hand and said, "Okay, don't be angry, grandmother remembers it, and grandmother ignores him in the future."
Lu Mingyu laughed.

When he returned to Meiyuan in the afternoon, Lu Mingyu carefully sorted out the good things he bought today. He waited for his relatives to give gifts to him when he visited his relatives during the Chinese New Year, and gave them wood carvings to Chu Xing...
Lu Mingyu found a gift box to pack the wood carvings. After a while, he took the wooden box to the front yard to see his mother.
Xiao was sitting on the warm couch to check the gift list. Nian Ge'er and Heng Ge'er didn't know where to go and were not here. Lu Mingyu knelt down opposite his mother, looked at a stack of gift lists on the low table of rosewood, and asked curiously: "Mom, when will our family give New Year gifts?" Every household has to be busy with this.
"About twenty." Xiao took a break from his busy schedule and glanced at his daughter, "What is A Nuan holding in her arms?"
Lu Mingyu opened the box to show it to his mother and explained in a low voice.
When Xiao saw the cute little foal, he was amused by his daughter, "It's such a nonsense. What's this gift? It's almost the same to give it to Sister Fu."
Lu Mingyu pouted, covered the lid, put the box on the table, and hummed, "I don't care. Anyway, when my mother arranges the Chu family's New Year gift, I will add my share." She couldn't give it to her in front of her.
Xiao did not take this seriously and responded with a smile. When it was time to give gifts, she asked someone to get a set of four treasures of the study from the warehouse, put them together with her daughter's small wooden box, and then called the manager who gave gifts and gave instructions. The manager took the order and left. Not long after, he sent the things to the Duke of Chu's mansion.
At this time, the officials had already had a holiday and began to visit relatives and friends. Chu Xing was not interested in the excitement. If he could not go, he would not go. He hid in Dingfeng Hall to enjoy leisure. Someone gave gifts, and General Zeng, the Duke's Mansion, personally brought the gift list over to Chu Xing to take a look. Chu Xing was not interested in these holiday gifts that were given as usual every year, so he asked General Zeng to deliver the order directly to the second room.
His mother died early, and the eldest lady was old, so the matchmaking cards from the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion were handed over to Chu Sui's mother and the second lady of Chu.
Mrs. Chu Er had seen the gift list and saw that one was given to Chu Xing alone, so she ordered someone to send it to Dingfeng Hall. Then she took the gift list to find the lady. If there was a lady who was particularly fond of it, she would take it out and use it, otherwise they would be placed in the warehouse and kept for others in the future.
Isn’t the same thing as the New Year’s Ceremony? There are several companies that may be the same thing.
Dingfengtang.
Fan Yi walked to the study with a flat red sandalwood gift box in his arms and sang: "Dude, Mr. Lu San prepared a gift for you alone."
Chu Xing was wearing a black-colored homely robe and was sitting at the desk reading a book. Hearing this, he raised his head and let him in.
Fan Yi put the red sandalwood gift box in front of him and took two steps back.
Chu Xing opened the lid and saw a set of high-quality four treasures in the study and a small box. Chu Xing was surprised that the style of the four treasures in the study was basically fixed. This small box is so incompatible, it must have been put in later...
He was surprised in his heart, Chu Xing picked up the small box and opened it.
Fan Yi was also curious about what was inside and looked at it secretly. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Duke of the State took off the lid, he immediately covered it with lightning speed. Fan Yi only saw a touch of gold and smelled a familiar scent of camphor wood. He suddenly realized and said strangely: "This, the warehouse manager of the Chu family forgot to take out the camphor wood ball?"
Chu Xing had no expression on his face and said lightly: "Go down."
Fan Yi looked at him, took a few more steps, and turned around and left.
Seeing Fan Yi stepping out of the door, Chu Xing lowered his head and looked at the small box in his hand. His index finger unconsciously rubbed the lines on the box. After a while, Chu Xing leaned on the back of the chair, holding the box with one hand on his thigh. With the table blocking it, even if someone suddenly came in, he could not find the things in the box. He slowly took off the lid with the other hand.
Inside the box is a sculpted and lifelike little foal.
Chu Xing looked at the little foal, but a chance encounter in Linglongfang appeared in front of him. He followed his sisters to the outside of the wood carving shop. The first person he saw was Lu Mingyu inside. She was wearing a crabapple-red wool, with her fair little hand in front of her eyes, and a foal of the same color was pinched between her fingertips. The little foal shook gently, blocking her eyes. Chu Xing only saw her peach blossom-like cheeks and a smile on the corners of her lips.
After that day, Chu Xing would occasionally think of a shocking glance in the wood carving shop, but he did not expect that Lu Mingyu was picking gifts for him at that time.
Chu Xing smiled unconsciously, pinched the lacquered gold and copper chain on the horse's back, raised his hand slightly, and the foal really shook.
How could she give him such a gift? He is not a six or seven-year-old naughty boy...
By the way, he is a horse.
Chu Xing put the little foal into his palm and his eyes slowly changed.
She actually knew his age? She chose a horse. Although this gift was too naive, it was also heartless.
Smelling the unique fragrance of camphor wood, thinking of Lu Mingyu's smile as he pinched the horse and smiled, a strange feeling suddenly rose in Chu Xing's heart. Apart from his two sisters, grandmother and second aunt, he had never received any gifts from other women. In his past and present, Lu Mingyu was the first girl to give him a gift.
Chu Xing knew that Lu Mingyu gave gifts to express his gratitude to him, but this feeling was quite comfortable.
But, how should he deal with this gift?
Lu Mingyu, his younger brother and sister in his previous life, obviously his cousin also noticed her in this life.
The faint joy in Chu Xing's heart disappeared. He was not suitable for this gift on the surface.
Holding the wood carving, Chu Xing glanced around and his eyes fixed on the innermost row of bookshelfs. He walked over, walked around the bookshelf, and finally placed the little foal behind a heavy ancient book. After putting it on, Chu Xing looked around and was sure that as long as he didn't move the ancient book, he would not be able to find the little foal, so he left with confidence.
He sat down again and picked up the book, but Chu Xing couldn't see it anymore.
After reciprocating, Lu Mingyu gave him a gift. Should he prepare a return gift?
