It is time to discuss the marriage. The Duke of Chu and the Lu family took Chu Xing and Lu Mingyu's eight characters to combine them, and the results were all very good.
After getting married, the next step is to formally get engaged, but it takes time to prepare a banquet and post it. In May, Lu Huaiyu will soon marry, and the whole mansion is busy with this. Lu Rong and his wife did not want to hold their daughter's engagement banquet too hasty, so they chose the eighth day of the seventh lunar month on several auspicious days sent by the Duke of Chu's Mansion.
But as early as the day Chu Xing proposed the marriage personally, the governments in the capital were paying attention to the movements of the two families. After following the matchmakers several times, does it mean that the marriage has been basically settled?
Those who walked with the Lu family frequently came to inquire and said they were happy first.
Lu Mingyu made many sisters, and he joked about her every two days, but Lu Mingyu couldn't even hide in the boudoir.
Fortunately, she enjoyed it and enjoyed it very much.
~
On the eve of Lu Huaiyu's marriage, Lu Yun and Lu Jinyu's two aunts returned to their parents' home in advance.
"I didn't expect that A Nuan among us is the youngest, but her future fourth brother-in-law is the oldest among men."
In the pavilion beside the lotus pond, Lu Jinyu slowly shook the round fan while teasing Lu Mingyu. Gu Pan's eyes were smiling and swept over Lu Yun in turn, Lu Huaiyu, "You guys say that in the future, the famous Duke of the State will accompany A Nuan back to the door. When we see him, we will call us aunt, eldest sister, second sister? By the way, should I call him brother-in-law or cousin uncle at that time?"
Lu Huaiyu laughed and almost lost the apricot he had just picked up.
Lu Yun couldn't bear to tease her niece, but she also lowered her head and laughed.
Lu Mingyu believes that she is very polite and rarely teased her for two lifetimes so that she has nothing to say. But at this moment, she really doesn't know how to put her words back. Who made Chu Xing's age and seniority true? I remember that when Chu Xingchu came from home, she called her cousin with her aunts and sisters.
Angry and embarrassed, Lu Mingyu turned his head, held his chin with one hand, and gently waved the round fan with the other to cover half of his face, looking at the lotus by himself.
"Oh, we A Nuan is angry. Forget it, we shouldn't ask you this question. When that day comes, we will know naturally." Lu Jinyu smiled and moved to her sister, hugged the little girl's shoulder and joked. Lu Mingyu struggled twice, and finally found an opportunity to fight back and said, "Big sister, this is summer. You are used to being with my brother-in-law. I'm not used to it. I'm almost letting go of me, I'm almost sweating."
"You, where did you learn such words!" Lu Jinyu was so shy that she acted like a round fan and patted her sister's head.
Lu Mingyu jumped and hid beside his aunt.
"Ah, this apricot is so sour!" Lu Huaiyu suddenly screamed, and his beautiful face wrinkled. He quickly put the apricot that he had taken a bite into the plate for calcification, picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth.
Lu Mingyu originally wanted to eat one, but hesitated when he saw this, but Lu Jinyu couldn't help swallowing, pinched it and said, "I'll try it."
The three girls stared at her together.
"It's not sour." After swallowing, Lu Jinyu wiped the corners of his mouth with a veil and looked at Lu Huaiyu blankly.
"Maybe it's your one that doesn't happen to be sour." Lu Huaiyu murmured, staring at the fruit plate, and choosing the one that looks the most ripe.
Lu Mingyu also went to eat apricots.
Lu Yun kept looking at her eldest niece. Seeing that her niece had quickly finished eating apricot. Lu Yun bit her lip and moved to Lu Jinyu, and asked in a low voice: "Jinyu, are you good news?" She got married in April last year, and a year has passed, and her stomach has not moved. Once, she especially wanted to eat hawthorn cake. Madam Zhou was overjoyed and said that she most likely had those who like to eat sour food. Lu Yun was very happy, but the doctor came over to take the pulse, but she was just a silly joy.
But Lu Yun knew that he would like to eat sourness after being pregnant, and that was the case when his mother was pregnant with her younger brother.
Lu Jinyu's face turned red and looked at her two sisters. She asked quietly, "How did you see that my aunt?" She had been late for more than half a month. Lu Jinyu and the nanny around her felt that she had it, but Lu Jinyu was afraid of being happy and wanted to wait a few more days before hiring a doctor. However, she had morning vomiting for three consecutive days, and Lu Jinyu basically confirmed her joy.
The guess was confirmed, Lu Yun felt mixed feelings and forced a smile and said, "I guessed, congratulations to Jinyu."
Lu Jinyu was born with a delicate heart, and the envy on his aunt's face was so obvious. Lu Jinyu subconsciously looked at his aunt's stomach and understood in a flash. He hurriedly held his aunt's hand and whispered in a low voice: "Auntie, don't be anxious, my mother said, women are different from women. Some are pregnant early, and some are pregnant for two or three years. Auntie must not be hurt because of this."
Lu Yun knew that his niece was sincerely comforting her and knew that this comfort would not work for her, but she still responded with a smile, "Well, I understand."
"What are you talking about there?" Lu Huaiyu finished eating an apricot and saw that the two were so close, he asked.
"Guess if you can fall asleep tonight." Lu Jinyu skillfully concealed.
Lu Huaiyu's face turned red, but Lu Mingyu noticed that his aunt was smiling a little stiffly.
After reunion, Lu Mingyu and his aunt walked to the third room together. She was going home, and Lu Yun had something to say to his sister-in-law. Lu Yun was only three years older than Lu Mingyu, and he was also the one who grew up when Xiao watched him grow up. His sister-in-law was like his mother and daughter. Lu Yun liked his mother Zhu, but every time he encountered troubles, Lu Yun liked to talk to his sister-in-law, because compared to his mother's blindly maintaining and comforting, Lu Yun felt that his sister-in-law's words were more reasonable.
"Aunt, what have you been busy with recently? Why do you seem to lose weight?" Lu Mingyu pinched his aunt's wrist and said in confusion.
"Is there any?" Lu Yun looked at his wrist in surprise, but didn't notice it. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Maybe I'm learning to identify herbs recently. You know I'm stupid and I'm not as fast as you."
"Identify herbs?" Lu Mingyu didn't understand, "What did my aunt learn to do?"
Lu Yun lowered his head slightly and whispered: "Your uncle likes to fiddle with herbs. I know him, so I don't have to ask him everything."
Her cheeks were rosy and her smile was sweet. Lu Mingyu whispered in a low voice, imagining the situation where his aunt was with Yao Jiting, Lu Mingyu was sincerely happy for her aunt. When she arrived at the third room, she guessed that her aunt would say something private to her mother that she could only hear after she got married, and Lu Mingyu obediently returned to her Meiyuan.
"Sister-in-law, Jin Yu is happy." After chatting about family matters, Lu Yun lowered her head and fiddled with the veil and said in a suffocating manner. She envied her niece but was not jealous, but Lu Yun was sad because her belly was not good. Other people's children were prosperous and their daughter-in-law had no children for three years might not be a big deal, but the Yao family only had her husband. Lu Yun knew the expectations of Old Lady Yao for her, and she was also anxious.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I have a physical problem?" Lu Yun's eyes were a little sore when she mentioned what she was most worried about.
"Nonsense, you are a spoiled girl from our Lu family. Since childhood, you have been frugal and food, without any disasters or illness. How could you have any health problems?" Xiao scolded softly. Others could suspect that her sister-in-law was not easy to give birth to, but Xiao knew from her reborn daughter that her sister-in-law had become pregnant shortly after she entered the custody in her previous life, and she...
Anyway, my sister-in-law is absolutely healthy.
"Then why..." Lu Yun leaned on his sister-in-law's shoulder and his eyes fell on his lower abdomen. "It's been more than a year..."
"Children are concerned with fate. Some come early and some come late." Xiao patted her shoulder and smiled and comforted, "Look, I married your third brother for half a year before I got A Nuan. There was no movement in the next few years. For this reason, your second sister-in-law joked about me many times. It was not until Brother Heng was born that she blocked her mouth. Don't be anxious, when the time comes, there will be some."
After comforting her, Xiao taught her sister-in-law a few more poses that are prone to conception.
Lu Yun's ears were hot, and he remembered them shyly.
The next day, the Lu family held a wedding ceremony and had a big banquet for guests.
Brother Heng led Brother Nian to the front yard early. In addition to watching the lively groom enter the door, there is also a big thing to do.
"Which brother-in-law is?" Nian Ge'er was held by his brother, and his big eyes were scattered around. He knew that his sister was going to marry Duke Chu, but Nian Ge'er had never seen his brother-in-law yet. At least Nian Ge'er felt that he had never seen him.
Heng Ge'er is eight years old, with a very strong body and tall body. She is standing there in a newly made Hang-silk round-neck summer robe. She reaches behind her brother's shoulders like a protective hand, and her eyes sweep through the male guests in the yard one by one. As she searches, she suddenly sees her uncle Xiao Congjian and a man in a dark blue robe coming over.
Brother Heng'er's eyes lit up and he pointed to his younger brother sideways, "The one next to his uncle is our brother-in-law!"
Including brother-in-law He Yu who came to meet the bride today, Heng Ge'er already has an uncle and two brother-in-law, but Heng Ge'er is most satisfied with his brother-in-law. In Heng Ge'er's eyes, his brother-in-law who can lead troops to fight is a great hero who is even more powerful than his grandfather. Grandfather said that he had been on the battlefield, but Heng Ge'er had no impression of him at all. His brother-in-law fought against Japanese pirates, but Heng Ge'er knew it!
"Let's go, let's go over, but now we can't call my brother-in-law, we want to call my brother-in-law." Heng Ge'er taught his younger brother seriously. He used to call him cousin uncle, but now he can't call him cousin uncle anymore. His mother said that he can't get any further.
Brother Nian nodded obediently.
The two guys just looked at Chu Xing, and Xiao Congjian walked over.
"Shijin, guess whether they came to find their uncle or to meet their prospective brother-in-law." Seeing the nephews, Xiao Congjian stopped and asked Chu Xing in a low voice.
Chu Xingfeng looked at Heng Ge'er and Nian Ge'er, and his expression softened intentionally, without answering Xiao Congjian's joke.
"Uncle." When he arrived, Heng Ge'er called him uncle first, but his eyes glanced at his prospective brother-in-law who was taller and taller than his uncle.
Nian Ge'er followed suit, and was more obvious than his elder brother. His black eyes stared at Chu Xing without blinking.
Xiao Congjian smiled, bent down to tease his little nephew, pointed at Chu Xing and asked, "Does Nian Ge'er know what he calls him?"
Nian Ge'er nodded, "Call the Lord."
Chu Xing's eyes changed slightly.
Xiao Congjian continued to laugh and corrected his nephew, saying, "The Duke of the State is too unfamiliar. When there is no outsider in the future, Brother Nian will call him his brother-in-law directly." He was once a direct subordinate of Chu Xing, and the two had a deep relationship. After Xiao Congjian married Chu Xing's cousin, the relationship became closer. If someone else was his niece, Xiao Congjian would never give the other party the honor of being called by his brother-in-law in advance, but Chu Xing... Xiao Congjian was willing to help him.
"Brother-in-law!" Nian Ge'er was still shy, and Heng Ge'er shouted out excitedly.
Chu Xing touched the boy's head with his big hand, "Brother Heng has grown taller again."
There was no trace on his face, but Xiao Congjian heard the pleasure in Chu's jargon. Xiao Congjian smiled proudly, turned around and patted Chu Xing on the shoulder, "Shi Jin, Brother Heng calls you brother-in-law, should you call me uncle?" As early as when he learned that Chu Xing was asking for marriage to his niece, Xiao Congjian had been looking forward to this moment.
He waited leisurely, but Chu Xing ignored it, bent down, and easily picked up the shy Nian Ge'er, held it with one hand, took out the gold ingots that had been prepared in his right hand and stuffed them into Nian Ge'er's white and fat little hand. He lowered his head and coaxed him in a voice that only Nian Ge'er could hear: "Nian Ge'er called his brother-in-law."
Nian Ge'er's eyes were shiny, holding Jin Yuanbao, and calling him brother-in-law crisply.
