When Lu Mingyu was about to take a break, the Marquis of Wukang was just finished with his mother and was talking to him.

"Brother Li, you have to study hard. Jia'an is one year younger than you, but he was enlightened in the same year as you. Now that Master Lu is back, there is such a top scholar, Uncle San, who is here to mention that if you are lazy, you may be suppressed by Jia'an in the next year's examination." Mrs. Wu Kang said earnestly. Although she has a good relationship with her sister-in-law, the two sister-in-law are also secretly competing. Mrs. Wu Kang is afraid that her son will be suppressed by the nephew of the Lu family.

He Li nodded absent-mindedly and immersed in his thoughts. When his mother mentioned Mr. Lu San, He Li couldn't help asking: "Mom, my fourth cousin is only one year younger than Cousin Huaiyu?" Lu Mingyu looked good, but she was short and her figure was not very big yet. She didn't look like Cousin Huaiyu, and her clothes were already supported.

"It's one year younger." Mrs. Wu Kang said casually. After answering, she felt aroused in her heart and looked at her son suspiciously, "What did you ask her?"

He Li lowered his eyes, touched his nose, and said nothing.

But Mrs. Wu Kang saw it. When she recalled Lu Mingyu's pretty appearance, her face suddenly changed and she whispered: "Brother Li, don't let you make any decisions about her. Huaiyu is also a beauty, and that is your future wife. Your father is not convenient for his legs and feet. He is just a title, but he is just a free time. Your uncle is at the top of his life in the Ministry of Revenue. Huaiyu is married to you, and at least you should make less advice on others before marrying her into the door."

He Li didn't want to make any other girls' idea. He just liked Lu Mingyu more. He was spoiled by his mother since childhood. He always thought of whatever he wanted. Anyway, his mother would agree to him in the end, "Mom, Master Lu San is the top scholar. I heard that this time he made great contributions in flood control, the emperor will definitely use him more. His future may not be worse than his uncle. It is also useful for me to marry my fourth cousin..."

"The key is that Mr. Lu San doesn't like our family." Mrs. Wu Kang sighed helplessly.

In terms of identity, Lu Huaiyu is far from Lu Mingyu. Lu Mingyu is a serious royal relative. If possible, Mrs. Wu Kang also wants such a daughter-in-law. However, "One of the time, our family is not as good as before. Master Lu looks down on him. Secondly, the elders of the Lu family all believe that you and Huaiyu are a couple. If you suddenly ask for the fourth girl, if Master Lu really agrees, he will be upset with your uncle's family. With this, he will not respond, so give up earlier and think less about those useless ones."

He Xiexi may be a little lustful, but he could understand the truth. When he learned that he and Lu Mingyu were absolutely impossible, He Xiexi felt sad, but he also decided to calm down. From now on, he would only be kind to her cousin Huaiyu.

Mei Yuan, because of her worries, Lu Mingyu lay down for a long time before falling asleep, but before she could sleep for a long time, Longyuan called her.

Not wanting his mother to wait, Lu Mingyu sat up sleepily.

"Which girl wants to wear?" Gan Lu brought up her two skirts, both of which were bright colors. Lu Mingyu was worried that her cousin liked her, so she dared not dress up deliberately. She shook her head, got out of bed and walked to the closet, and picked out the hemp-colored jacket she wore when she went to see Chu Xing to thank that day, and paired with an apricot-colored skirt. The two colors were actually good, but they were not suitable for her at this time, and she would look old-fashioned. A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl would wear bright and beautiful clothes, but she was afraid that the unbright and not watery color of the hemp-colored.

When I went to see Chu Xing, Lu Mingyu regarded him as his eldest uncle at heart, and was taboo to dress up too beautifully. Today, when I went to Zhuang Wang Mansion, I deliberately pretended to be ugly and tried to avoid attracting Xiao Huan's attention.

"Why are you wearing this outfit?" Xiao, a member of the front yard, was ready. Seeing his daughter coming over in this outfit, she couldn't help but frown.

Lu Mingyu rushed to the scene before her mother glared at her maid and explained: "I just like this. Don't worry about me, are you all ready?"

Xiao set out in a hurry, so he didn't ask his daughter to go back to change clothes. He only picked out a pair of pearl earrings from his jewelry box and bent down to change them. He was wearing so old-fashioned, but he wore a pair of eye-catching red jade earrings on his ears, which was inappropriate. Xiao even suspected that his daughter didn't like her uncle.

Because Lu Mingyu didn't mention Xiao Huan much, Xiao didn't take Xiao Huan too seriously. Anyway, it wasn't her daughter who liked Xiao Huan.

Lu Mingyu touched the newly replaced earrings on his ears, looked at the red jade earrings that were temporarily put away by his mother, and pouted slightly.

Two quarters of an hour later, the family of five came to Zhuang Prince's Mansion.

He sent someone to say hello in the morning. Xiao Congjian had not come back yet. King Zhuang missed his daughter and children. He led his grandchildren to wait in the front yard alone. When he heard the carriage outside, he immediately walked to the door and went out. Sure enough, he saw the carriage from his son-in-law's house. King Zhuang grinned and lowered his head to remind the three children around him, "Remember to call him uncle and aunt."

Brother Ying nodded and looked at the carriage with big eyes curiously. He was Xiao Congjian's eldest son, as big as Brother Heng.

What he held in his little hand was sister Fu. She was three years old and looked very much like her mother, with a pink face.

Behind the two, there was a young man in purple clothes standing with fair skin and handsome face, but there was a hint of hostility hidden in his eyebrows and eyes, which looked like the majesty of a son of a royal family. But when he saw the petite figure walking out of the carriage, the hint of hostility disappeared instantly, and the corners of the boy's lips unconsciously raised, staring at his cousin opposite him, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

When Lu Mingyu got off the car, she didn't look over there and stood firm. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Huan first, but she happened to meet Xiao Huan's hot eyes full of longing. The fifteen-year-old Xiao Huan has grown taller and thinner, and is a little fat, but she is just as fat as she is wearing a purple dress, full of nobleness and looks more handsome.

With eyes facing each other, Lu Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked away and had a headache. She couldn't figure out what Xiao Huan liked her? She had been away from the capital for more than three years. She was nine years old when she left, and Xiao Huan was only twelve at that time. Did he know how to like people at the age of twelve, and still like it so much that he never forgets it?

"Uncle, aunt, you are back. My nephew has been thinking about you all these years."

Xiao Huan was also happy when his cousin didn't look at him. He walked to Lu Rong and his wife and performed their etiquette first. When he performed the etiquette, his eyes quietly glanced at Lu Mingyu, and he felt that his cousin was more beautiful when he grew up, but he was a little thin and not tall. Thinking of this, Xiao Huan decided to invite his cousin to a few more pieces of pastries later. There was no wealth in the capital outside the country, so his cousin must have lost weight because he didn't eat well.

Lu Mingyu didn't know what Xiao Huan was thinking. He noticed the young man's peeping. Lu Mingyu quickly ran to King Zhuang and blocked his figure with his grandfather.

After a simple greeting, everyone entered the palace.

"A Nuan, eat more. This is a new one from the imperial kitchen, called Yu Furong." The elders were talking lively. Xiao Huan sat next to Lu Mingyu with a plate of plates, and then placed the plate in front of Lu Mingyu, so that she could eat it with his hands instead of putting the plate on the table. In this way, Lu Mingyu would not turn around and take it.

When the prince’s wife You frowned when she saw this scene, she really didn’t understand what evil her son was in.

However, Prince Zhuang touched his beard with relief. His grandson was so good that he would marry his cousin back soon, so he would have hope in the future, with his grandson and granddaughter around him.

But Xiao and Lu Rong looked at their daughter inquiry, curious about how their daughter reacted.

Lu Mingyu felt sour. She was not afraid of others being bad to her, because she could hate or ignore that kind of person without any burden, but she was most afraid of Xiao Huan's goodness. Looking at the tempting jade furong cake in front of her, Lu Mingyu felt a little shaken. Since her cousin was sincerely kind to her, she decided not to marry Chu Sui, so...

"Maotang, A Nuan doesn't like eating. How many pieces do you give to Brother Heng and Brother Nian."

While hesitating, the sound of Youshi's smile suddenly came from his ears. Lu Mingyu couldn't help but raise his head. What caught his eyes was Youshi's hypocritical smile. Lu Mingyu knew this aunt too well. Youshi looked down on her mother and never really regarded her as her niece. If her grandfather was not present, Youshi would never have such an attitude.

Youshi doesn't like her, and Lu Mingyu doesn't want such a mother-in-law. If she really marrys Xiao Huan, she will have to deal with Youshi for at least twenty years.

This thought made Lu Mingyu shudder and immediately gave up his desire to marry Xiao Huan. Following You Shi's words, Lu Mingyu picked up a piece of eryu hibiscus cake, and then handed the eryu hibiscus cake to Heng Ge'er next to him, "Try it, my sister doesn't like to eat this."

Brother Heng was the most picky person, so he took it and took a bite.

Xiao Huan glared at his cousin with anger. Since his cousin didn't like to eat, Xiao Huan put the plate on the table and looked at his cousin who was dedicated to taking care of his younger brother. He was disappointed and anxious. His cousin was cold to him and did not look at him at all. Was he doing something wrong? How should he coax his cousin to play with him again?

"Dad is back!" Sister Fu leaned in her aunt's arms and first saw her father outside the door.

"Uncle!" Lu Mingyu stood up and ran out to pick up his uncle.

"A Nuan has grown so tall?" Seeing her cute niece, Xiao Congjian laughed loudly, bent down and pinched the girl's armpits, and easily lifted the person up. Lu Mingyu's face turned red, and she got used to Chu Xing's cousin's indifference. Suddenly, she was so rare that she could not bear it.

"I want it too, uncle!" She was uncomfortable, and Brother Heng was so envious that he shouted with his head raised.

"Brother Heng, don't worry, you all have three." Xiao Congjian put down his niece, then raised his big nephew, and deliberately threw it over, and then steadily caught it. Brother Heng was so excited that he suddenly regarded his strange uncle as his family, and waited in line. Finally, his uncle put it on his shoulder and rode his neck.

This trip to the royal palace was the happiest. Heng Ge'er and Nian Ge'er were the happiest.

Lu Mingyu felt tired, so when he got home, he threw himself on the bed, closed his eyes and complained, Xiao Huan, what should she do?

"Girl, the eldest and second girls are here to find you."

The nectar suddenly preached outside.

Lu Mingyu got up and quickly tidied up his hair and clothes.

"A Nuan, grandfather is coming back. Let's go to grandfather's place to wait first?" Lu Jinyu suggested with a smile.

Lu Mingyu agreed happily, saying goodbye to his parents, and walked to the Lu family courtyard with his two sisters, holding Nian Ge'er, the little fellow. Heng Ge'er had already run to play with Chong Ge'er. Nian Ge'er had not caught up with his cruel brother, so he just waited for her to marry her sister.

"Grandfather will rest tomorrow. Let's take us out for a shop?" As soon as we arrived at the main courtyard, Lu Huaiyu turned from the front and discussed cunningly, looking at Lu Mingyu, and looking at him, "A Nuan just came back, grandfather likes you the most now. As long as A Nuan speaks, grandfather will definitely agree."

"What do second sister want to buy?" Lu Mingyu asked curiously. It is indeed a trivial matter to ask for grandfather, and the truth is just as the second sister said.

"New Year's goods." Lu Huaiyu said in a stern voice, "It's the New Year, and the elders give us gifts, so we have to express our feelings, right?"

Lu Jinyu smiled without saying a word.

But Lu Mingyu suddenly thought of something. She promised to give Chu Xing a thank-you gift. Why not go out tomorrow and choose the same one for him?

What can I give?

We must not only give our hearts to let Chu Xing feel her sincerity, but we cannot use it before, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
