On New Year's Eve, it snowed, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell, covering the ground.

But the heavy snow did not relieve the New Year atmosphere in the capital at all. The sound of firecrackers and the children ran in the snow without curfew. The sound of playing came one after another in the sound of firecrackers. In the palace, Emperor Minghui invited relatives and ministers to celebrate the banquet, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky one after another, making the snowflakes dyed the glow of the sunset.

Lu Mingyu has already been engaged. She did not go to the palace banquet tonight. She wore a cloak and held a hand stove with the eldest lady, the second lady, and the aunt who stayed at home, watched her two cousins ​​bring people to set off fireworks. Half of it, the palace admired two dishes. There was a small charcoal stove under the dishes. The lid was opened and the dishes were still hot. Everyone symbolized that they took a bite from each person, and didn't take these two dishes too seriously. After all, the Lu family would get the emperor's gift every year.

After watching the fireworks, my mother moved to the warm room to talk. Even though she had bumps and bumps throughout the year, no one mentioned the bad luck on New Year's Eve. She chose auspicious words and was as mean as the second wife, and she kept smiling. Of course she was happy. The news was sent by the Marquis of Wukang's mansion a few days ago, and Lu Huaiyu was happy.

When he was happy, the second wife couldn't help but mention her daughter's pregnancy again, "When next year, Jinyu and Huaiyu will be able to bring the little guys back, and it will definitely be very lively at that time."

The eldest lady changed the subject after just a few perfunctory words.

Lu Mingyu quietly observed his aunt and saw her holding a tea bowl with a gentle expression and smiled, as if she was looking forward to reunion with her two sisters. She was not sad because the second wife mentioned the pregnancy. Lu Mingyu felt a little sour. Fortunately, the aunt was open-minded, otherwise the girls who married the Lu family would have difficulty in pregnancy, so how uncomfortable it would be for her aunt.

As the night was getting darker, Lu Zhan and Zhu brought the whole family back.

Lu Mingyu went to pick up his mother, said goodbye to his grandfather and grandmother in front of the door, and then led Heng Ge'er behind his parents and returned to his third room. Nian Ge'er fell asleep and was held in Lu Rong's arms. Xiao was worried that the snowflakes would fall into his youngest son's neck, so he carefully covered his cloak for his son. Lu Mingyu saw it and felt warm in his heart.

The family reunion is New Year's Eve.

Lu Rong first went to send his two sons back to his room. Xiao held an umbrella and sent his daughter back to Meiyuan. On the way, he whispered to his daughter: "A Nuan, the emperor gave the vegetables tonight, but he did not reward the Yao family."

Lu Mingyu looked at his mother in surprise, and when he looked up, the corners of his mouth curled up first.

In fact, when the emperor gave vegetables, no one really greedy for those two dishes. He enjoyed this honor, because the emperor only gave vegetables to his ministers whom he valued every year. Giving vegetables not only shows that the emperor saw the performance of the family for the year, gave affirmation, and made a good start for the next year. For a portal like the Yao family, the man in the family has no achievements at present. The emperor gave vegetables for his love for the old master Yao. He suddenly stopped giving them away, which only shows that the Yao family had a loss of virtue and the emperor no longer cared about his old love.

The officials and wives in the capital were more and more elite. The emperor almost took the blame for the loss of virtue on the Yao family. Even if the official wives could not guess the truth about the Lu family's husband, they could no longer simply believe the rumors spread by Mrs. Yao before.

But after being secretly happy, Lu Mingyu was a little worried again, "Mom, do you say that the emperor's uncle is helping us like this because of your kindness or..."

Xiao shook his head and remained silent.

She couldn't guess what the emperor brother was thinking. If it means that Emperor Hui fell in love with his sister-in-law, but half a year has passed, Emperor Hui of Ming has never expressed any words. No matter how he looks, he doesn't seem to be moved by his sister-in-law. But if he didn't take it seriously, why did Emperor Hui of Ming settle accounts with the Yao family for so long?

The third possibility is that Emperor Minghui made this move, but in fact he did not consider his affair with the Lu family at all. Instead, Emperor Minghui witnessed his sister-in-law fainting for a son and knew the truth that his sister-in-law had a quarrel with Yao Jiting. He felt that the Yao family was not open and unfair enough to receive this honor again.

"Let's watch the changes." After walking to the gate of Meiyuan Courtyard, Xiao said quietly.

Lu Mingyu nodded. It was useless to guess this matter, so he could only wait and see what had changed.

When the Duke of Chu returned to Sanqiu Hall, the grandmother left the eldest grandson alone and said, "Do you know that the emperor did not give the Yao family vegetables tonight?"

Chu Xing unexpectedly mentioned this matter, looked at the grandmother of the lady and nodded.

The lady thoughtfully said, "I just said that A Nuan's aunt does not seem to have a jealous temper. The emperor will never neglect the Yao family for no reason, and I don't know what is hidden here."

"This matter has nothing to do with us. Grandma, don't bother, let's rest soon." After the second update, Chu Xing was a little worried about the old man's health. His parents died, and it was his grandfather who raised him. Now his grandfather has passed away, and only his closest elder is left. Chu Xing does not want his grandmother to work too hard.

"Why doesn't it matter? When you marry A Nuan, we will be a serious in-laws with the Lu family." The lady smiled and reminded Changsun.

When talking about his fiancée, Chu Xing lowered his eyes and did not explain that he said that the Yao family had nothing to do with his own family.

"Okay, go to bed early. You have to go to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning." The lady was a little sleepy and waved her hand to Changsun.

Chu Xing bowed his head and said back.

The grandmother looked at Changsun's tall and majestic back and thought about what happened tonight, she became more and more satisfied with Lu Mingyu, the eldest grandson wife. Everyone knows that Emperor Minghui favored Lu Mingyu. This time, Lu Zhan did a rare thing to do for the daughter of a woman. Emperor Minghui was willing to support the Lu family. Isn't it just love the house and the niece, and it is mainly to give face to her niece?

Lu Mingyu's weight in Emperor Minghui's heart is so heavy. So Lu Mingyu's marriage to her own family is the icing on the cake for her grandson-in-law, King Qing. The second prince, King Rui, was not favored by the emperor because his biological mother, was not favored by the emperor. The fourth prince was mean and domineering, and his intelligence was mistaken for his intelligence. He was also useless to be a weapon. The fifth prince is still young, so no matter how he thinks that the position of the prince belongs to King Qing.

When King Qing becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne to the emperor, her granddaughter will be the queen of Daqi!

The light flashed in his eyes, and the excitement passed, and the maid next to him came in to serve.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Mingyu got up early, finished dressing up, and led his two younger brothers to greet the elders first.

Because he knew that Chu Xing was coming today, Lu Mingyu hid back to Meiyuan after eating dumplings with his grandfather and grandmother. Caisang sent someone to pay attention to the movement of his son-in-law. He heard that the person was coming, he immediately ran in and joked about his master. Lu Mingyu glared at her, turned to the glass window, lowered his head and continued to read the travel notes, pretending to be reading a book.

About a quarter of an hour later, Brother Nian's excitement came from the yard and called out to his sister happily.

Lu Mingyu laughed secretly, and he knew without guessing that his younger brother must have received New Year's money from Chu Xing.

"Sister, my brother-in-law gave me a ingot of ten taels of gold!"

Brother Nian ran in happily, and then got into the house and skillfully kicked his shoes, climbed into the warm couch to show off to his sister.

Lu Mingyu looked at the golden ingot in his younger brother's hand and teased his younger brother with a smile: "Then why don't you put it away quickly, be careful to lose it."

"Well, I'll put it in my purse." Nian Ge'er took out his small purse and stuffed the ingots in very difficult times. It was too difficult to stuff it. A small purse suddenly fell out of her sleeve. Lu Mingyu was amused by her younger brother, picked up the purse and asked him, "How many purse do you have to prepare to fill the New Year's money?" He was so greedy.

Brother Nian looked at the purse in his sister's hand, but laughed and threw himself into his sister's ear and said, "Brother-in-law said, this is the New Year's money he gave you."

The warm breath of the boy made Lu Mingyu's ears itchy. A "brother-in-law" successfully made Lu Mingyu blush. Looking at Caisang and Lan Yue, Lu Mingyu quickly put away his purse and whispered to warn his younger brother not to talk nonsense. Nian Ge'er nodded seriously, and then said anxiously: "Then I'll go find my brother-in-law!"

He came to help his brother-in-law deliver things.

"Let's go slowly, don't run wildly." Lu Mingyu reminded his younger brother with concern.

Brother Nian ran away while agreeing.

Lu Mingyu sat silently for a while, turned around again, and quietly opened his purse...

Another little golden horse, almost exactly the same, and it is not very tall.

Lu Mingyu first smiled and then pouted slightly. Who? The monkey I gave last time was clearly for my younger brothers. Two little guys snatched one, and they usually ordered the monkey to serve tea and water, or went out to ask the monkey to bully other boys. This time, the little golden horse she gave her was neither innovative nor one-tenth of the head he gave her...

Should he marry her or her younger brother?

Of course, Chu Xing wanted to marry her. After the first lunar month, the Duke of Chu's mansion brought the betrothal gift and put it in a full yard. The gold, jade, jade, porcelain, spices, furniture, silk, silk, satin, all of them were the best. Even the nobles couldn't take it out, and the second wife was envious and her eyes were almost red.

After giving the betrothal gift, I handed over the three auspicious days I had chosen and asked Lu Rong and his wife to choose one.

When Lu Rong saw that the earliest one was May, the middle one was November, and the latest one was spring next year.

He snorted coldly and said to his wife meaningfully: "This man is really cunning. He is acting like next year, so that we misunderstood that he is not particularly anxious to compete with us for his daughter, but will A Nuan agree? The child has long been looking forward to marrying." The girl was too old to stay. Lu Rong tried to persuade her daughter to make sure that Chu Xing could avoid the disaster and remarry after the disaster, but her daughter refused to agree and insisted on marrying her earlier, just as she said to her mother, she wanted to leave a seed for Chu Xing.

But how could Lu Rong put his daughter in danger of becoming a widow? From his daughter's knowledge that the King of Huainan would rebel in the autumn this year, he began to imply that the emperor had not prevented the trouble. Emperor Hui of Ming had already been thinking about it and found a reason to "invite" the princess of Huainan to the capital for a long time. The King of Huainan loved this princess very much. At least in the past few years, he did not dare to act rashly.

If you get married next year, your daughter doesn’t agree. It’s too cold to get married in winter and it’s inconvenient to prepare, so you can only set it in May.

Lu Zhan was not very willing, but the two monkeys sent by Chu Xing last year completely captured the hearts of all the women in the Lu family. Zhu was the most satisfied with it, and he coaxed her husband with the wind in his ears.

The matchmaker happily took the Lu family to the Duke of Chu's mansion to report his life.

There were only three months left before the wedding period, and the eldest lady was worried that the eldest grandson would be "ignorant", so she called her second son over and gave her some instructions.
