In early August, the emperor returned from Liangshan to escape the summer heat, and Chu Xing and others also returned to the capital.

At dusk, Chu Xing and Chu returned to the Duke's Mansion together and went to Sanqiu Hall to pay homage to the Grandma.

After two months of separation, the lady missed her two grandchildren very much and asked about her well-being.

After chatting for half an hour, Chu Sui looked at his brother and guessed that his brother would mention Lu Mingyu with his grandmother. If he had a sister-in-law, Chu Sui would definitely tease his brother, but the man was Lu Mingyu. Chu Sui was really in a mood and left first on the grounds of being exhausted and took his sister Chu Xiang away.

"Yingying, brother has brought you a gift and sent it to you. Go and see if you like it." Chu Xing smiled at his sister.

Chu Ying happily went to see the gift.

The lady smiled and watched her granddaughter lead the maid out. When the footsteps were far away, she turned to Changsun in confusion and said strangely: "Is there anything Shi Jin?" Changsun was most afraid of her nagging. If nothing happened, Changsun must be the first among the children to retreat.

Chu Xing sat in the lower left head of the lady, silent for a moment, and lowered his eyes and said, "Grandma, I want to marry the fourth girl of the Lu family. I want to bother my grandmother to go to the Lu family recently and talk about my love for me."

He knew that Lu Mingyu was still blaming him, but since Chu Xing had decided to marry her, he could not give up easily. In Liangshan, he proposed marriage in a hasty manner just to let Lu Mingyu know his feelings. Now that almost two months have passed, she should not be so resentful. He asked his grandmother to go there officially. Perhaps, Lu Mingyu would have a marriage due to his sincerity.

"Fourth Girl? A Nuan?" The lady stared at her grandson in shock, a little suspicious that she had heard it wrong. Lu Mingyu was only thirteen, and was a round younger than Changsun. Because of this, although the lady thought Lu Mingyu was a good girl, she never thought of giving people to Changsun. She just kept paying attention to the second grandson. Now she was serious about the female Changsun, who actually said that he fell in love with a little girl?

This was a conversation that Chu Xing had long imagined, and his grandmother's reaction was as he expected. Therefore, Chu Xing's face was calm and he said calmly: "Yes, it's A Nuan." Then he reiterated what he said to Zhu, "...Grandma, you have always hoped that I would get married soon. I had never been moved before. Now, I know that I am not worthy of A Nuan, but I have only fallen in love with her for so many years, and beg my grandmother to make the decision for me."

The lady pondered, "You, do you mean that Lu Zhan and his son reject you?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Chu Xing's cold face. He clenched his fists secretly and whispered: "I have some misunderstandings with A Nuan. She is angry with me. She has not forgiven me yet. Naturally, Lord Lu and his son will not agree. Grandma don't worry, I will write her a letter to her and apologize to her. When my grandmother comes over, I will bring Yingying with me. I ask Yingying to pass it over to her, hoping that she can forgive me."

The lady curiosity emerged again and asked whisper: "What do you mean is that if A Nuan is not angry, she will promise you? Then what have you offended A Nuan?"

Recalling his mistake and feeling guilty and blamed himself, Chu Xing's face was a little darker, and he said to his elder Yi: "Grandma, it's inconvenient for me to tell me about my affairs with her. In short, I'm sorry for her. I want to make up for it as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid she will never forgive me again. Grandma, I will never marry anyone except A Nuan in my life."

The lady opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Changsun diagonally opposite like a stranger. Changsun was so affectionate about Lu Mingyu that she would not marry him if she was not a friend?

The grandmother knew her grandson, whom she had raised, knew that Chu Xing's words were not impulsive words. The grandmother lowered her head and frowned and thought deeply. She still felt that Lu Mingyu and Changsun were not very compatible. One was like a lump, and the other was more obedient and cute, and she looked more like a child. She didn't look like someone who dared to ask about Changsun. Moreover, Lu Mingyu was only thirteen, and Lu Zhan's father and son loved the child so much, maybe he had to marry him. At that time, Changsun was about to stand up.

However, Changsun has made up his mind and she is very satisfied with Lu Mingyu...

Forget it, just say that you give it to Changsun. The second-generation grandson must have known the brother’s thoughts, and it is impossible for him to marry Lu Mingyu again.

"It's rare that you have the intention of starting a family, so grandmother will go for you." The lady smiled and said, "It's just that it's too late today. I'll send a post to the Lu family tomorrow morning and come to the door the next day. It's just right to prepare a gift tomorrow. Leave these to grandmother, think carefully about how to write to A Nuan to apologize."

Grandma agreed, Chu Xing relaxed first, and when he heard the letter, he was immediately at a loss.

When writing a letter, he decided to write it, but how to write it...

In his two lives, Chu Xing only wrote memorials, official documents, and family letters, and had never written a letter to a woman.

The grandma was so old that she knew what she was worried about when she saw her grandson’s expression. In order to marry her eldest grandson’s wife earlier, the grandma coughed and lowered her voice to her grandson: “Shijin, if your second brother wants to please any girl, I don’t have to worry about anything, but you…”

When he guessed what his grandmother would say next, Chu Xing lowered his head slightly, but he didn't move at all. He saw that he knew himself and was willing to ask for advice humbly.

The lady snickered, pursed her lips, and her voice became even lower, "Shijin, if a woman is angry, what she wants to hear most is not your explanation of what was wrong, nor your apology. Of course, all these have to be said, but what she wants to hear most must be sweet words. For example, it has been a while since A Nuan was dismissed, so when you write a letter, remember to add some things like a day without seeing each other, like three autumns..."

"Grandma, I still have something to do. I believe it and write it myself. I will trouble you with the proposal of marriage."

Chu Xing suddenly stood up, speaking quickly, and the man walked faster, and he stepped out of the main hall in a blink of an eye. When the Madam came to her senses, the man was gone!

The lady blinked her eyes and thought about what she said. She was both funny and helpless. She said just by saying "I don't see you for a day, like three autumns." The grandson was shy and couldn't say it. Then how would he write a letter? The things written could impress a young girl who was angry? The lady was deeply suspicious and frowned, and ordered the magpie, the maid who was guarding outside, "Go and pick two books about the words of scholars and daughters who are full of flowers."

Sorry, I heard her say it in person, she cut out the sweet words and sent them to him, okay?

Night falls outside Dingfeng Hall.

Wei Teng hesitated to take two books from the magpie's hand, "Is this?"

Xique didn't know what the grandmad had talked to the princess, but she could recognize the characters and could guess the grandmad's expectation for the grandmad who was still unwilling to marry, so she couldn't help but turn her head and smile, "In the storybook, the grandmad specially picked it out to pass the time for the grandmad. By the way, the grandmad said, please be sure to look carefully at the pages she folded."

After saying that, he covered his lips and left, and there were two chuckles when he turned the corner.

Wei Teng lowered his head, but he couldn't guess the trick here, and he took the book to the study room with his duty.

Chu Xing sat in front of the desk, with a piece of rice paper spreading in front of him without a word. Hearing Wei Teng's footsteps, he quickly crushed the rice paper and threw it into the small bamboo basket next to him, and then pulled out a military book to pretend to read it.

"Mr. Grandpa, the grandmother gave you two booklets, saying that she would pass the time for you, and asked you to carefully look at the folding pages inside." Wei Teng put the book to Chu Xing's side and whispered.

Chu Xing glanced at the cover of the book, and the top skin was called "The Record of Plum Garden".

"Go down." Chu Xing said lightly.

Wei Teng lowered his head and left.

Chu Xing picked up the "Plum Garden Record" in confusion, and opened a folding page casually. He saw a paragraph inside out that was outlined. Chu Xing subconsciously looked at it from the beginning. It turned out that a scholar named Li stopped a lady from a noble lady in the garden. He described the beauty of Miss Fang in just a few strokes, and said to Li Shusheng: "Girl, you haven't looked at me for three days. Did you want my life..."

Chu Xing shivered uncontrollably, threw the script aside, and then picked up another one and threw it over. Grandma was really making a fool of herself. The talented beauty in the script wrote randomly to pass the time for others, but Lu Mingyu was a real lady from a wealthy family. How could he use such slight and frivolous words to insult her?

After laying a piece of rice paper again, Chu Xing lifted the pen, and the action of lifting the pen lasted for unknown amount of time before finally falling the first word.

That night, the lights in Dingfengtang study were not dimmed all night.

"Mr., it's time to go to court." The sky turned white, Wei Teng yawned and walked to the door to remind him.

The man inside responded, and after another cup of tea, he walked out with a cold expression. Wei Teng served his master to wash and change his clothes. Chu Xing went to court and went to the study to clean up. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a small bamboo basket full of baskets of paper, which was obviously pressed hard, and the thick stack of rice paper on the table was less than half.

Wei Tengzang stood on the spot, looking at the bamboo basket, and after a war between heaven and man in his mind, he suppressed the urge to open the paper ball to see what the master wrote, and carried the trash can to burn the paper. The deposed prince for one night must be an important letter and must be destroyed to avoid spreading it and delaying the master's major affairs.

But the bamboo basket was too full, and one of them fell out accidentally when he walked out. Wei Teng didn't see it. Fan Yi happened to pass by and wanted to call Wei Teng back to clean up, but Wei Teng walked too fast and turned. Fan Yi shook his head helplessly, bent down to pick up the paper ball. Curiously, he opened it and checked, and saw a few thick ink traces in the middle of the rice paper, and he couldn't see anything...

The red sun was on the west side, and Chu Xing returned home slightly earlier than usual, and went to Sanqiu Hall to pay his respects as usual.

"Have the letter been written?" asked the grandma teasingly.

Chu Xing nodded and lowered his eyes and said, "I'll go see Yingying."

The lady wanted to know what Changsun wrote in this letter, but Changsun was grown up. Since Changsun didn't show her, she put away her curiosity and said, "Go, you two will come together for dinner later."

Chu Xing did not agree or refuse, so he went to the cross-yard next to him.

"Is this for Sister A Nuan?" Looking at the little bamboo tube placed on the table by the brother, Chu Ying frowned slightly. Last time his second brother asked her to deceive Sister A Nuan, and his brother reminded her earnestly, asking her not to help any man bring messages or pass things to the girl in the future. Why did the brother knowingly do it today?

"What's inside?" Chu Ying put out the bamboo tube, not very willing, if it was something that made Sister A Nuan unhappy...

"Yingying doesn't need to know. Please help your elder brother pass it over to her. Remember not to let others see it." Chu Xing told his sister seriously.

After all, it was his biological brother, Chu Ying was willing to make an exception, but she still asked nervously: "Will Sister A Nuan get angry when she sees the things inside?"

Chu Xing was stunned. Will Lu Mingyu be angry when he received his letter?

Chu Xing didn't know, he only knew, he had to tell her what he said in his heart. If he didn't explain, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help but go to her.

Unable to answer, Chu Xing chose to avoid it and stuffed the small bamboo tube tied to the legs of the pigeon to his sister, and told her again not to lose it.

"Does your brother like Sister A Nuan?" Chu Ying said that she was eleven years old. Looking at the brother in front of her, she guessed in a low voice.

The sister's eyes were clear, Chu Xing hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Chu Ying smiled happily and said excitedly: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely hand over the things to Sister A Nuan!"
