Amid the heartfelt applause of the people, the Lantern Tower clerk bent over and respectfully handed Chu Xing the wooden box containing the jade horse candlestick to him. The most important thing is to be a clerk. Chu Xing is very skilled and has a good demeanor, and he is followed by guards. He must be a nobleman. After seeing Chu Xing's magical arrow, the clerk was so impressed that he was almost overwhelmed.

Chu Xing held the wooden box with one hand and returned from the front to Lu Mingyu and his party. He turned his eyes and looked at his cousin first.

He won this jade horse candlestick in the name of helping his cousin please Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu kept looking at him. Seeing that Chu Xing really wanted to act to the end, Lu Mingyu immediately came back from his uncontrollable admiration. He walked around his brother in a few steps and rushed to Chu Xing. He reached out and grabbed the yellow lily wooden box into his arms. He then pretended to be happy and raised his head to Chu Xing with a smile: "Thank you, cousin, cousin is so powerful!"

This is the lottery that Chu Xing took the initiative to give her, so Lu Mingyu didn't want to be touched by Chu Sui.

She was short and could make Chu Xing forget about her rebirth when she was good. She thought Lu Mingyu was just in a hurry to get the lottery he liked. Chu Xing didn't think much and said modestly: "I'm lucky."

How could it be luck that can allow bamboo arrows to penetrate the small ring without falling?

Lu Mingyu wanted to praise Chu Xing for a few more words, but suddenly a disdainful humming came from the left, but Xiao Huan looked sarcastic: "Don't be modest, sometimes it's too humble, but it seems fake." Everyone was shot empty, and he didn't care. Now that Chu Xing was all snatched away, he saw that his cousin admired Chu Xing so much and liked these candlesticks so much, Xiao Huan couldn't hold back his soreness in his heart.

Lu Mingyu glared at him and looked at Chu Xing apologetically.

The little girl Shui Liang's eyes were filled with self-blame and embarrassment. Chu Xing's face softened, ignored Xiao Huan's provocation, and whispered to Lu Mingyu: "Open it and take a look?" If it weren't for Xiao Huan, he wouldn't say more after giving the gift, but now, Chu Xing has to dispel Lu Mingyu's self-blame aroused by Xiao Huan.

He was broad-minded, Lu Mingyu nodded with a smile, walked to Lu Huaiyu and Chu Ying's four girls, and opened the box to see. The pure and pure Hetian jade candlesticks are beautiful from a distance, and more delicate and delicate when viewed from a close distance. Chu Ying and Chu Xiang have ordered a set, but they are not envious. Lu Huaiyu was originally not interested in these candlesticks, but now he can't help but act coquettishly at his brother, "Second brother, you can buy me a snake for a while, right?"

Lu Jia'an usually spends a lot of money. Now he doesn't bring any money on his body. He doesn't have much silver at home, but he can't refuse his sister in front of everyone. He said, "My second brother doesn't bring so much money now. I'll take you here to choose tomorrow morning. They have twelve sets, and each set may be different."

I agreed first and took my sister to my mother to ask for money tomorrow morning.

Lu Huaiyu had no doubts and was about to nod, He Yu suddenly said, "After tonight, this lantern business will definitely be very prosperous. You just shot an arrow. I heard that a wealthy family has already gone to the Lantern Building to order the zodiac candlesticks. Come again tomorrow morning, and I am worried that the candlesticks will be ordered away. I have some money on me, and Lan Fang also wants to buy them. My cousin will go with us? Let's know that there are not many rich people in this Lantern Building now."

Lu Huaiyu was overjoyed and smiled at him excitedly, "Cousin Yu is so nice, then I will use your money first and return the money to you tomorrow."

He Yu smiled with a black eyes and looked at her and said, "Cousin, why don't you pay it back? Just like my cousin likes it."

His appearance was cold, but when he smiled, his whole body became warm. Lu Huaiyu looked at the eyes that seemed to have a different meaning. Thinking that He Yu first shot archery for her and then gave her a candlestick tonight, he had a little guess. Strangely, if he had known that his uncle's cousin might like her, Lu Huaiyu would definitely be angry, but at this moment, Lu Huaiyu felt secretly happy.

Holding He Lanfang's arm affectionately, Lu Huaiyu raised her foot and asked her sister, "Do you want to go up and take a look?"

"A Nuan left, I'll buy you a whole set." Someone was spoiled by her cousin. Xiao Huan, the cousin, couldn't bear to see his cousin being compared, so she immediately decided to make the decision for Lu Mingyu.

"Show you are rich again!" Chu Xiang was bullied by Xiao Huan, and the little girl still remembered it, and couldn't help but stab him.

Lu Mingyu was also very embarrassed by the tone of the rich man Xiao Huan. He Yu proposed to buy a pair for his second sister. It was a good thing, but Xiao Huan said it was a whole set. Wouldn't He Yu look at He Yu quietly, but he saw that He Yu didn't hear Xiao Huan speak at all. He looked down at the second sister beside him, with a gentle look.

He is handsome and has great skills, but he is willing to spend money on his second sister...

Lu Mingyu glanced at He Li, who had been silent, with difficulty, and suddenly wanted to give He Yu more chance to get close to his second sister, so he smiled and said to Lu Huaiyu: "Second sister, go, I already have a pair of jade horses, so I won't go. The river scenery here is quite beautiful. Brother and I, the second brother, are waiting for you outside."

By the way, I thoughtfully relieved my cousin Lu Jia'an. Otherwise, if my own sister went to buy things, it would be inappropriate for him to go with me. If he went there, he would have no money and could only see others paying for his sister. That would be so embarrassing.

Lu Mingyu turned to his cousin cunningly. Lu Jia'an blinked at his little sister gratefully and echoed: "Yes, Huaiyu, you go first. I'll ask someone to rent a boat. It's still early, let's take the boat and then take a walk."

Lu Huaiyu nodded and went to pick the candlestick with He Yu and his sister.

Xiao Huan snorted coldly, Lu Mingyu thought it was not good, afraid that he would offend people again, Lu Mingyu signaled him to follow him and walked aside, stayed away from Chu Xing and others, and then frowned and advised: "Cousin, I know you are good to me, but I really don't like you, and I don't like you because I want to speak well to me..."

"Who am I hurt?" Xiao Huan's arrow was lost first, and then his cousin refused in person. He was already filled with fire. When he heard that his cousin had wronged him, the flames in Xiao Huan's chest spurted out. He forced himself to stop roaring at his cousin, but his angry eyes expressed his anger.

Lu Mingyu dislikes his bad temper the most. Since Xiao Huan refused to admit it, she pointed it out to him, "You didn't mock your cousin's fake modesty? You didn't mock your cousin Yu for not being generous enough to take action? Cousin, do you know why I don't like you? I just don't like your arrogant temper, as if no one in the world can compare to you!"

Xiao Huan's eyes were even more resentful. He wanted to defend himself, but could not refute him.

The young man, who is only sixteen years old, is the grandson of the royal family. He is used to being domineering and arrogant. He failed to confess his first time and was scolded by his lover for a short period of time. Xiao Huan's self-esteem could no longer tolerate it. He said whatever he could save face in anger. "Forget it if you don't like it, I don't have to like it!"

After saying that, he looked at Lu Mingyu with disdain. In order to prove that he did not like her so much, Xiao Huan quickly turned around and left in anger.

Lu Mingyu looked at his back in shock.

If she liked Xiao Huan and Xiao Huan treated her like this, Lu Mingyu would definitely want to cry in grievance, but she only had a brother-sister relationship with Xiao Huan. Therefore, after a brief shock, recalling Xiao Huan's seemingly angry and actually injured face, Lu Mingyu felt helpless and a little sad. But she did not regret it. Her cousin's temper was spoiled by her uncle and aunt. If she did not persuade him at this time, she would always indulge him in arbitrary way, and there would definitely be more trouble in the future.

As for whether Xiao Huan would hate her for this, Lu Mingyu didn't mind it specifically, but hoped that Xiao Huan would forget her and fall in love with others.

Withdrew his gaze, Lu Mingyu returned to everyone as usual.

"Sister A Nuan, are you okay?" Chu Xiang asked in a low voice. She didn't hear what the two of them said. She looked like Xiao Huan was getting angry at Sister A Nuan.

Lu Mingyu smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I think he's talking badly, so he's a little unhappy when he lets him go around."

Chu Xiang suddenly realized and then snorted: "I don't like him either. By the way, Sister A Nuan, let's take a boat to watch the lanterns together later?"

"Okay." Lu Mingyu smiled sincerely, and Yu Guang glanced at Chu Xing quietly. Chu Xing was talking to Lu Jiaping, with a tall figure. Thinking that she could stay with him for a while tonight, even if she couldn't speak, she felt sweet in her heart. The jade was elegant and loved by others. A gentleman was as beautiful as jade, which made people want to get close to him.

"Brother, second brother, I have something to do. Let me leave first. Yuzhi Lanfang comes down and you can tell me."

Seeing that Xiao Huan had left, He Li also offered to say goodbye, smiling with a little forced smile.

The second wife and Mrs. Wu Kang have always looked down on the Lu family's three-bedroom house. The third wife Xiao is a royal relative at least. The two women are not very obvious and are not so tactful to the eldest wife. Lu Jiaping seems to be careless, but he knows all these things, so he has no friendship with the congratulatory gift. He is not polite and nods even if he wants to leave.

Lu Jiaan next to him watched his cousin turn around, his eyes changed. He knew that his mother intended to betroth his sister to the gift because his sister and the gift were childhood sweethearts, and seemed to like the gifts very much. Lu Jiaan had never thought about this marriage deeply, but Lu Jiaan could see He Yu's attitude towards his sister tonight. In contrast, except for the identity of a prince, in terms of ability, the gifts were not as good as He Yu, and in terms of his heart to his sister...

Lu Jia'an would not favor He Yu just because of only one hundred taels of silver, but his sister likes candlesticks. He Yu can think of please his sister. He Li knew her better, so why didn't he think about it? Not to mention that he had no money, the Marquis of Wukang's mansion was still in decline, and his family still had a fortune. He Li was spoiled by his aunt, so he would have no money in his hands? He had to consider the marriage between his sister with a small face.

After standing on the shore for a while, the cruise ship that Lu Jia'an sent someone to rent came.

Before Lu Huaiyu and the others had finished picking it, Lu Jia'an asked everyone to get on the boat and wait. Chu Sui watched the boatman raise the wooden board, and his heart moved. He got on the boat first, stood on the other end of the wooden board, and smiled and told the two sisters at home, "Go slowly and be careful not to fall into the water." He then supported the younger sister who came first, and did not let go until Chu Xiang stepped on the boat board.

A man's face is like a jade crown, and his face is illuminated by the beautiful lights of the lamp building, and he is handsome and transcendent.

Lu Mingyu felt that he was smiling like a fox, and couldn't help but slow down. Seeing that Chu Ying had also gone up, Chu Sui had not left yet, wasn't he just waiting to help her?

Lu Mingyu turned to look for his brother, but saw his second brother walking towards the lamp building. He didn't know what to do. The eldest brother and the guards stood together, and it seemed that he could finish it for a while. Lu Mingyu wanted to wait any longer. Chu Ying and Chu Xiang asked her to board the boat together. Looking at Chu Sui again, Fengyan looked at her provocatively, as if she didn't go, just because she was afraid of him.

Lu Mingyu didn't want him to be proud. When she thought there was another person, she turned to Chu Xing with joy.

Chu Xing was not far away. He wanted to wait for Lu Jiaping's brothers. After all, it was a cruise ship leased by Lu Jia'an. It was not suitable for all four of them to board the boat. He turned around without intention, but met Lu Mingyu's face with a faint smile. Chu Xing was stunned and was curious about what she was laughing at, so she actually walked towards him.

"Cousin, I saw that tea is prepared on the boat. Cousin will go to have a cup of warmth first?" Lu Mingyu stopped in front of the man and advised obediently.

Chu Xing thought she was just polite and declined, "No hurry, I'll wait for your two brothers."

Only then did Lu Mingyu understand why he stood here alone. She was a fake warmth, but Chu Xing really regarded herself as a guest. Lu Mingyu was surprised by Chu Xing's adherence to etiquette and was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Chu Sui, who was still standing there. She bit her lip and continued, "Cousin is so polite. You have helped me so much, so let's get on the boat and take a rest first."

This time, Chu Xing understood her true intention and looked at her cousin standing there. Chu Xing secretly had a headache.

Could it be that my cousin was favored by Lu Mingyu in his previous life?

Chu Xing didn't understand why his cousin's tricks were useless in this life, but since Lu Mingyu asked for it, Chu Xing could not sit idly by and watch his cousin make trouble. It was nothing wrong for his cousin to find a way to please Lu Mingyu, but he couldn't cause trouble for the little girl.

"Okay." As for Lu Mingyu's "good intention", Chu Xing walked straight toward the shore.

Lu Mingyu laughed secretly and followed Chu Xing tightly.

Hearing the footsteps, Chu Xing paused. He thought Lu Mingyu wanted him to pull his cousin away, but he didn't expect him to be a shield?

Chu Xing was so amused that the girl’s little thoughts were hard to guess.

However, Lu Mingyu wanted to follow him, and Chu Xing could not change it anymore. When he came to the shore, he stepped on the wooden board and signaled his cousin to walk away.

Chu Sui looked at the cunning girl hiding behind her brother, and knew that she had no chance to help Lu Mingyu again, so she had to leave.

As he went, Lu Mingyu felt refreshed, but unexpectedly, the cruise ship suddenly shook. Lu Mingyu was still holding a candlestick gift box in his hand, and her feet were unstable. She instinctively stretched out one hand to grab the person in front of her. Coincidentally, because the boat was shaking, Chu Xing turned around and wanted to remind Lu Mingyu to slow down. As a result, when he turned, Lu Mingyu's hand was empty, but the force could no longer be retracted, and he rushed forward.

The two were too close to each other, and before Chu Xing could react, Lu Mingyu had already bumped into his arms.

Worried that she would fall, Chu Xing subconsciously supported her shoulder.

The man's robe was filled with the coldness of the night, but his broad chest and faint cedar incense immediately made Lu Mingyu ignore the coldness of his clothes. The boat board was unstable, and she was still scared and her heart was pounding, but Lu Mingyu couldn't tell whether she was panic about the thrill just now or because of this unexpected embrace.

She froze completely and couldn't move.

Chu Xing immediately transferred the person to the boat, quickly stopped, and his phoenix eyes looked at the river behind Lu Mingyu, "Be careful, Miss Four."

His voice was heavy, without any emotion, and he didn't even care about the elders, but he seemed to dislike the troubles she brought. Lu Mingyu's originally hot face suddenly turned pale, but fortunately it was covered by the dark sky. Faced with the man's coldness and alienation, Lu Mingyu had no idea what to say, and nodded almost, and went to find the Chu Ying sisters like escape.

Chu Xing then looked at her obscurely. The thirteen-year-old girl was petite, but only by holding her could she truly feel her delicateness. Her thin shoulders might not even be able to bear the strength of her. But it was precisely because of this delicateness that she had just hit her in her arms that Chu Xing actually had the idea of ​​holding her for a while.

How can he?

The evening breeze blew, and Chu Xing threw away the absurd thought in time and went to the other side to find his cousin.

Chu Sui stood at the stern of the boat and looked at his brother who was walking calmly. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Chu Sui's mouth, "Brother, what did A Nuan tell you when he was on the shore?" He could see that the brother hugged Lu Mingyu was just an accident, but Chu Sui was curious about how Lu Mingyu persuaded his brother to help her.

"She asked me to board the boat for tea." Chu Xing glanced at the tent next to him and said calmly, "But I guess, she doesn't want you to help her?"

Seeing through his mind, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Chu Sui's face and said self-deprecatingly: "A kindness is actually regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, but you have seen it too. She was rash and loss. If it weren't for the timely reaction of the elder brother, she would have fallen into the water just now." As he spoke, Fengyan stared at her brother inquiringly.

Chu Xing turned his head and admonished him: "I only know that a gentleman does not force others to do anything."

He looked like a brother Yan, and Chu Sui hurriedly begged: "Okay, okay, my brother taught me a lesson. I'll change my approach next time."

Chu Xing agreed, turned around, and casually watched the lanterns on both sides of the straits.

Chu Sui glanced at Lu Mingyu opposite him, and thought about his brother's age, so he felt relieved. The age was not suitable. Moreover, the elder brother knew his feelings for Lu Mingyu and mentioned how he acted. No matter how beautiful Lu Mingyu was, his elder brother would not be moved by her. As for Lu Mingyu's cold and majestic side face to his elder brother... he looked at his elder brother's cold and majestic side face again, Chu Sui's mood suddenly became complicated. His elder brother was cold and inhumane. How many girls dared to like him? His elder brother was still not easy to be enlightened. Chu Sui was worried that his elder brother would be unable to settle his marriage in this life.

Lu Huaiyu, He Yu and others finally picked up the candlestick and came out. The boatman became busy and the cruise ship slowly moved forward.

The men and women each occupied a boat tent and walked for two quarters of an hour. It was almost time for grandfather to meet. Lu Jiaping asked the boatman to dock, and three groups of people were polite and left separately. The Lu brothers and sisters also had to go to Yipinzhai to find their grandfather Lu Zhan. The carriages of Chu Xing and sisters were far away, and He Yu and sisters were closest, so they were the first to return to the Marquis of Wukang's mansion.

He Yu kept sending his sister back to her yard before walking towards his yard.

As I walked, I saw someone standing in front of me, the bright moon in the upper Yuan was bright, and I knew who the other party was without a lantern.

He Yu was thinking, "Second brother is waiting for me?"
