As April begins, cherries from all over the country are ripe one after another.

Dengzhou cherries are big red and are famous all over the world. Every year when the cherries are ripe, the Dengzhou prefect will send people to carefully select the best cherries to pick and deliver them to the capital as tributes for the emperor. This year is no exception. As soon as the cherries enter the palace, the emperor will distribute them to the court ministers and concubines in the harem to show that Longye, the Lu family and the Chu family allocated two baskets.

Chu Xing was on duty at Shenshu Camp and returned to the Duke's Mansion in the evening to pay tribute to the Grandmaster first.

His mother died early, and both brother and sister were raised by the grandmother and grandson. The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren was extraordinary. However, Chu Xing was born taciturn and respected his grandmother in his heart, and he would not say playful words to make the grandmother happy. When he came over, he sat upright and listened to his family chatting with a relaxed expression.

"Shi Jin tasted it. I heard that Dengzhou is a bit dry this year, and the cherries are sweeter than last year." The maid walked in with her freshly washed cherries, and the lady said with a smile.

The cherry is stored in the ice warehouse, and it looks fresh and tender, with a very attractive color. Chu Xing takes one and puts it in his mouth. It is sour and sweet, cool and delicious.

"Is it delicious?" asked the lady in anticipation.

Chu Xing nodded, and the lady immediately said, "Then eat a few more, stay outside all day long, don't be polite to grandmother when you get home. It's so good as when you were a child. Just reach out and grab whatever you like. It's not like now, like a big girl, and there are no outsiders here."

The eldest brother was teased by his grandmother, and Chu Ying and Chu Xiang laughed.

Chu Sui threw a cherry into his mouth and looked at the brother opposite him leisurely.

Chu Xing looked at the lady and took another one. After eating this one, no matter how the lady persuaded him, he would never eat it. In Chu Xing's opinion, the little red fruit of cherries is too girlish and suitable for a little girl to eat. He is a big man and it feels a bit strange to eat it in front of everyone, although the cherries are indeed delicious.

The lady knew her grandson's temper and no longer cared about him.

After dinner, Chu Ying was eager to send her elder brother away, so she lived with the Grandma's side.

"What's wrong with Yingying?" Chu Xing noticed his sister's strangeness. After he separated from the second wife's family, Chu Xing walked under an elm tree and asked her.

Chu Ying likes her elder brother the most, a mother of her compatriots. She was not very reserved in front of Chu Xing, so she pulled her brother's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Brother, the old lady of the Lu family raised a dog and gave birth to a puppy. Last time, Sister A Nuan promised to give me one. A few days ago, she wrote to me and asked me to take the time to hold the dog. After resting on the 10th day of the day, will my brother accompany me?"

A Nuan...

Lu Mingyu's small figure appeared in front of him. Chu Xing was silent for a moment and bent down and said to his sister: "Brother had something to do that day. Yingying went to tell his second aunt that he would take you and Xiangxiang to visit." He didn't want to get too close to the Lu family. He had had a lot of dealings with Lu Mingyu in the past two months, and Chu Xing thought it was not suitable.

Chu Ying lowered her head, held her little hand and said, "I don't want to bother Second Aunt." Second Aunt was very nice to her, but Chu Ying was embarrassed to make any requests to Second Aunt.

My sister was shy and introverted. Remembering her politeness in front of her second aunt, Chu Xing immediately changed her words: "That's call me second brother to accompany you." My cousin loves to laugh and speak, and both sisters at home like him.

"Second brother is going to prepare for the hospital examination, I don't want to disturb him." Chu Ying is a sensible little girl, and no matter how good his cousin is, he is not as comfortable as his own brother. He raised his head and looked at his brother eagerly. If his brother really can't leave, she would go and tell his second aunt, but Chu Ying sincerely hoped that his brother would agree to her.

The little girl's thoughts were written on her face, but Chu Xing couldn't refuse cruelly. She smiled and touched her sister's head: "Okay, my brother will accompany you on the tenth day of the lunar month. Yingying will first write a letter to your sister A Nuan. After writing, please ask your grandmother to send someone to send you to the Lu family." When it comes to relatives, Lu Mingyu had to call her sister "Young Cousin, but it was polite to Lu Mingyu call him cousin uncle, and he taught his sister to call her Lu Mingyu's niece, which was unreasonable.

"Yeah! I'll write it right away!" The brother agreed. Chu Ying was very happy and ran back excitedly.

Chu Xing stood under the tree and watched his sister. When his sister ran away, he returned to his Dingfeng Hall. The weather gradually became hotter. Chu Xing took a shower and washed away his sweat. After that, he called the manager around him and told him to prepare some gifts tomorrow. Lu Rong and his family of three cured his eyes, but he had not thanked him specifically.

The manager suggested a few gifts for Lu Rong and his wife. Chu Xing nodded and was chatting. The lady ordered someone to send a plate of watery cherries, knowing that her grandson actually likes to eat them.

Chu Xing felt warm. Looking at the plate of cherries, he asked the manager to buy two baskets of cherries a day in advance and take them with him that day.

He did not give the child a gift, and the manager was considerate and asked if he wanted to prepare a separate copy for Lu Mingyu.

Chu Xing thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow you go and ask the second girl, and the second girl will give you whatever she says."

Men and women are not close to each other. Since they know that Lu Mingyu is his future younger brother and sister, he should not give her things in his own name.

The manager nodded and went to copy the gift list first.

Chu Xing glanced at the cherry on the table and sent the servants around him to do business. When the person left, he picked up one and started eating.

The next day, the manager went to buy gifts, and Lu Mingyu received a post from Chu Ying, saying that he came to Lu's house to pick up dogs on the tenth day of the lunar month, and he came with his brother. Lu Mingyu stared at the word "brother" on the rice paper, and was a little confused about whether it was Chu Xing or Chu Sui. The former was not very consistent with Chu Xing's style of picking up dogs with his sister, and Chu Sui, the latter, should Chu Sui be preparing for the hospital examination now?

But in my heart, Lu Mingyu still hopes that Chu will come.

On the day that was agreed, Lu Mingyu specially put on a pair of red agate bracelets given to her by her new aunt, and went to her grandmother's place to wait for the guests early.

"The old lady, the third lady, the prince Chu and the second girl have arrived."

Zhu smiled and asked someone to treat her to the door quickly.

Xiao accidentally swept to his daughter, and saw the little girl lowering her head and turning the bracelet on her wrist, her mouth pouting high.
