At dawn, the whole plum garden was silent. The carved windows separated the cold outside. In the boudoir, the light was dim. Two pots of begonia were quietly blooming, emitting a faint fragrance. In the gauze tent not far away, the sleeping girl seemed to smell the fragrance of flowers, and the corners of her mouth were actually raised.

Lu Mingyu dreamed.

She dreamed of the situation of the Lantern Festival last night, but what happened was different. In the dream, the wooden board still shook when she boarded the boat, which made her panic and pounced on Chu Xing's arms. Chu Xing carried her to the boat, but did not let her go immediately. Lu Mingyu's heart beat thumped, and raised her head shyly from his arms. Chu Xing looked cold on his head, but he held her with one hand and gently touched her head with the other hand, and looked at her helplessly and dotingly, "Why are you so careless?"

At that time, the moonlight was like water and the light was like clouds. The shallow and gentleness that the man accidentally showed was like a sweet wine.

Lu Mingyu was very happy and leaned against his chest.

Next, the dream changed. Lu Mingyu changed into a big red wedding dress. Chu Xing rode a tall horse to pick her up. The sedan chair on the road was slightly bumpy. Lu Mingyu quietly picked up the red veil and looked at the groom outside through the gap in the car curtain. Chu Xing was wearing a red dress, with a tall back and a jade-like face, indescribably charming.

However, a noise suddenly came from the crowd. The next moment, Chu Sui rushed over angrily and accused Chu Xing of robbing his wife. Lu Mingyu finally remembered that she had married Chu Sui long ago. Since she was Chu Sui's wife, how could she marry Chu Xing? She was at a loss. Chu Xing and Chu Sui fought outside. The sedan chair fell in chaos. Lu Mingyu crawled out in a mess. She wanted to ask Chu Xing and the other two not to beat him, but the people around her surrounded her and cursed her, calling her unfaithful and vixen, causing the Chu brothers to turn against each other.

Lu Mingyu kept shook her head, she wanted to explain that it was not the case. The crowd suddenly dispersed, and the lady came over majestic with a cane. Chu Xing and Chu Sui stopped beating and knelt in front of the lady side by side to admit their mistakes. The lady looked at her coldly and said that she was so beautiful that she was not worthy of being a Chu family wife, so she ordered Chu Xing to write a divorce letter on the spot and cut off the marriage.

Lu Mingyu staggered to the ground, burst into tears, looking at Chu Xing, feeling that she was the only one left, Chu Xing would definitely not stop her. But Chu Xing didn't even look at her, took the four treasures of the study handed over by the maid, waved a few strokes, and wrote them. He finally turned around, and there was no more gentleness on his face. He stopped in front of her, looked at her with the eyes of a stranger, and then threw the divorce book on her face, "A Nuan, from now on, we will be ruthless."

Benevolence is cut off...

Lu Mingyu cried out in grief, and suddenly woke up.

Xiwei morning light shone in through the glass window. Lu Mingyu opened her eyes and saw the tangled plum blossoms embroidered on the gauze tent. She was stunned. After a while, she realized that she had just had a dream and her face was a little cold. Lu Mingyu raised her hand to touch it and actually cried. Thinking back to the overly real dream, Lu Mingyu couldn't help but smile.

Really, how did you have such a ridiculous dream?

But lying lazily, Lu Mingyu couldn't help but immerse himself in his dream again. He thought about something every day and dreamed about something. Is it because he was thinking about Chu Xing before going to bed last night, so...

After turning over, Lu Mingyu hesitated for a moment, he reached under the pillow and found a small golden turtle, which was the little golden horse that Chu Xing gave her. Lu Mingyu changed to lie flat, holding the little golden horse, and his eyes gradually became complicated.

Chu Xing, Chu Xing, when Long Yuan joked that Chu Xing was good and marrying him was good. Lu Mingyu only thought it was indifferent to his ears, but the more he dealt with Chu Xing, the more Lu Mingyu could not control himself. He looked cold and handsome, and no one among his peers could do so. He was cold and heart-warming and helped her solve her problems many times. His archery skills were superb. He took the bow and arrow from his own buddies to shoot the bamboo arrow through the ring. Lu Mingyu clearly remembered every scene.

Chu Xing, except for being too cold, Lu Mingyu couldn't find any of his shortcomings.

Looking at the cute little golden horse in front of her, Lu Mingyu could no longer deny that she was really interested in Chu.

But last night's dream...

If she really married Chu Xing, would Chu Sui give up on her easily? If Chu Sui couldn't let go, the grandmother knew about it, and the grandmother would never accept her as the eldest grandson's wife. These are all second-hand, and the most important thing is that Chu Xing doesn't like her at all. She thought about it so much and dreamed so much, which was completely worrying about it.

If you really have to worry, let’s talk about it when Chu Xing falls in love with her.

As soon as the thought came, Lu Mingyu smiled bitterly. Although she thought so, she vaguely felt that she would not wait for that day in her life. Chu Xing had not gotten married until her death in her previous life. It was like she lacked the love between men and women. She was beautiful, but in front of Chu Xing, Lu Mingyu could not find anything in her that could make Chu Xing look at her differently.

Chu Xing, that is a man like a god. Maybe there is no one in the world who deserves him at all, right?

If you like it, but it is destined to be fruitless. Lu Mingyu turned over melancholy. After being depressed for a while, she suddenly became cheerful again. In fact, this is pretty good. If Chu Xing doesn't like her, she doesn't have to worry about the grandma. The Chu family's brotherhood is about, so she secretly admires him, likes him, respects him as a god, and then marry a man she thinks is good, and spends her life peacefully.

Just like the moon in the sky, liking it does not necessarily mean you have to get it, it is also great to look from a distance.

After all, she and Chu Xing are not the same type of people. Chu Xing is a military general with great military achievements and a hero who is destined to be famous in history. She, Lu Mingyu, is just a beautiful woman in the back house. She doesn't have to wait until she dies, and when she gets old, her face will no longer be restored. By then, no one will care about her except her relatives.

After thinking it through, Lu Mingyu smiled softly, feeling lost. She lowered the little golden horse and kissed reluctantly.

Let's put it away in a while. Maybe one day she gets old, she can take out this little golden horse and give it to her children and grandchildren. If they ask where this comes from, she will say that it was the New Year's money given to her by a great hero...

The first month passed quietly, and the wind became warmer day by day. In March, spring was warmer and flowers bloomed.

The ninth day of the third lunar month is Lu Mingyu's birthday. Because she was born in the sunny and warm spring, Lu Rong and his wife named her "A Nuan".

A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old will hold a flower banquet or poetry party on her birthday, and invites her friends to come to her home for fun. As soon as the first day of the first day of the year, Xiao called her daughter to her side and asked her what her daughter had plans.

Lu Mingyu inherited his parents' talent and was very talented in poetry and songs. Because he was praised by the emperor and the empress, he became a famous talented woman in the capital without realizing it. He was often used as role models by other mothers to urge his daughters at home. Lu Mingyu thinks, wouldn't she be so fond of showing off her talent and learning?

Lu Mingyu didn't like Zhang Yang, thought for a while, and said, "It's better to appreciate the flowers. At that time, my mother asked the kitchen to make a few more delicious pastries, and we'll go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Xiao nodded, picked up his pen, and asked softly: "Who does A Nuan want to invite?"

Lu Mingyu listed several girls who had a good relationship, including Chu Ying and Chu Xiang sisters. Xiao was a little surprised and looked at his daughter and said, "Chu Xiang?"

Lu Mingyu knew what his mother was thinking and smiled helplessly, "She is her, her brother is her brother, don't worry, Xiangxiang just has a bigger temper, but she is actually a good girl."

Xiao said no, drafted the order and sent someone to make an invitation.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Lu Mingyu was trying on the freshly prepared summer skirt. Caisang suddenly walked in from outside, "Girl, the prince is here with two cousin masters. Madam, let you go."

Lu Mingyu raised her head unexpectedly, Xiao Huan came too?

Thinking of Xiao Huan's back that night of the Yuan Dynasty, Lu Mingyu wanted to laugh a little. In the two lives, she had a lot of awkward relationships with Xiao Huan. Every time, Xiao Huan did something wrong and angered her, she scolded him to get angry, and then for a while, Xiao Huan would come to her to admit her mistake. But this time it was the longest time that Xiao Huan insisted on, and it was almost two months.

After changing into a light green skirt, Lu Mingyu went to the front yard.

Heng Ge'er, Nian Ge'er and Ying Ge'er's three cousins ​​were already playing in the yard. Xiao Huan stood in the corridor with a tense face, with gloomy eyes and eyes. Seeing her coming, Xiao Huan changed her standing posture, looking embarrassed and embarrassed as if she wanted to see her but didn't want to see her. Lu Mingyu approached and saw Xiao Huan stubbornly turning her head to the other side, she raised the corners of her mouth and walked past him.

"cousin……"

Without taking five steps, Xiao Huan finally called her.

Lu Mingyu paused his feet and did not look back.

Xiao Huan begged his grandfather to bring him over to see his cousin. Now the most difficult step has been taken, Xiao Huan has become much more comfortable and said somewhat pleasingly: "Cousin, please accompany your grandfather and say it will come out later. I have something to tell you."

Lu Mingyu didn't make things difficult for him, nodded and went to the hall to see his grandfather first.

The granddaughter's birthday tomorrow, King Zhuang specially found a pair of bright red coral trees as gifts, and also wrapped a big red seal. Lu Mingyu smiled happily and intimately invited his grandfather to have dinner at home at noon. Prince Zhuang looked at his daughter who was sitting opposite him with a faint smile. Although he wanted to agree, he still refused cruelly. The main reason was that the son-in-law entered the Ministry of Personnel and was not at home. It was more than an hour before noon. He stayed and had nothing to do.

"No need, A Nuan go and see your cousin. The brat said he made you angry and asked me to bring him to apologize." King Zhuang said with a smile, happy to be a peacemaker for the cousin and sister.

Lu Mingyu smiled. One grandfather and the other mother were all close relatives, and there was nothing to avoid.

Ask her mother to help her keep Feng Hong, who had loaded countless silver notes, Lu Mingyu stepped out of the main hall and went to find Xiao Huan.

The two of them didn't go anywhere else, but stood in the corridor, as if they were watching the three brothers playing in the yard.

"Cousin, I was wrong. You shouldn't have lost your temper that day." Xiao Huan leaned against the red painted corridor column and stared at Lu Mingyu nervously, "Look at your birthday tomorrow. On a happy day, don't be angry with me? I know I was wrong. I haven't gone anywhere in the past two months and have been staying at home to practice martial arts. If you don't believe me, please ask Brother Ying."

He spoke softly, where was the little bully in the capital?

Lu Mingyu was not angry with him at first, and glanced at him. Lu Mingyu sat on the bench and sighed in a low voice: "Cousin, I said to you that day, not because I dislike you, but because you are my cousin. I hope you are an open-minded and broad-minded man. Don't learn from those playboys. You don't know any etiquette at all. You only know how to call cats and dogs."

When Xiao Huan heard this, he grinned and sat down next to Lu Mingyu, and sweared: "Okay, I'll listen to my cousin, and I won't talk nonsense anymore."

Lu Mingyu believed it or not, exposed this and stared at him and said, "Does my cousin still like me?" Let's make it clear today.

Xiao Huan was stunned, his smile calmed down, and he looked at her eyes nervously, as if he wanted to see through what she was thinking.

Lu Mingyu couldn't bear it, but he lowered his head and said to the whistle of the two men: "Cousin, we are getting older every year. I'll say something clearly before it will be nice to you. I know you like me, but I really always treat you as my cousin. My cousin is my cousin. No matter what you do, no matter whether I have met someone better than you, I won't like you. On the other hand, no matter how many shortcomings you have or how irritable you are, I will treat you as a relative and find a way to restrain you."

Speaking of this, Lu Mingyu raised his head and looked at the young man opposite him openly, "Cousin, starting today, if you are willing to treat me as your cousin, it doesn't matter if we meet and talk to each other in the future, but if you insist on thinking and wanting to marry me, I will never see you again in the future, do what you say."

Xiao Huan looked at her motionlessly, with no shock in her eyes, only confusion and grievances.

He still doesn't understand why his cousin just refuses to like him.

Lu Mingyu couldn't bear to see him being so confused, so he turned his head to look at his younger brothers and waited for him quietly.

"No matter what I do, you won't marry me?" After a long time, Xiao Huan finally spoke, his voice was hoarse.

Lu Mingyu grabbed her cuffs and nodded softly.

Xiao Huan looked at her fair and calm side face, and her heart suddenly became empty and lost. But perhaps because she had been thinking about this for the past two months, she had guessed that her cousin really didn't like him. Xiao Huan unexpectedly found that it didn't seem particularly difficult to accept being rejected by her cousin. Her chest was a little empty and a little stuffy. Xiao Huan lazily put her arms on the back of the bench and held her chin to look at Brother Heng'er's three children.

Lu Mingyu looked at him secretly.

Xiao Huan noticed it, turned around, and immediately hid when he saw Lu Mingyu. Xiao Huan wanted to laugh for no reason, but when he smiled, his chest was not so uncomfortable.

"For this, this is the birthday gift I gave you by my cousin." Xiao Huan sat down again, stretched his waist wide, then took out a small box from his sleeve bag and handed it to Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu looked at him seriously and could see that Xiao Huan seemed to have recognized him, so he took the box.

Inside is a pair of ruby ​​earrings, which are as red as cherries.

Lu Mingyu only glanced at it, closed the lid immediately, handed it back and said, "No, this is too expensive."

Xiao Huan didn't answer, looking at her with complicated eyes, "Please accept it, this time, next year, I will give you a cheap item worth more than ten taels, who told you to be my cousin?" There was still a little bit of grievance.

He was able to joke with him, and Lu Mingyu was completely relieved. Looking at the jewelry box, Lu Mingyu nodded with a smile, "Okay, this time only."

Xiao Huan looked at her beautiful smiling face greedily and reluctantly, and wanted to say something else. Brother Heng suddenly shouted at him, "Cousin, we are going to play in the garden, are you going?"

Lu Mingyu looked at Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan stared at Brother Heng, sitting steadily the moment before, the next moment suddenly held the backrest, and when he turned his long legs, he jumped to the bottom of the corridor, his movements were neat and neat. Brother Heng was very impressed and ran over to ask him for advice. Lu Mingyu was anxious and frowned and scolded: "You are not allowed to learn!"

"I am willing to teach you, do you have any control?" Xiao Huan turned around, his eyes provocatively, and his face returned to his former proud style.

Brother Heng, Brother Nian, Brother Ying laughed.

Lu Mingyu pretended to be going to beat them, but the three children immediately pulled Xiao Huan away and ran out of the yard. The crisp laughter floated over the wall and floated in. Lu Mingyu stood alone in the corridor, looking at the newly green flower trees outside the wall, listening to Xiao Huan's clear voice, he felt relieved.

I hope my cousin can meet a good girl in this life, a good girl who really likes her.
