Chu Xing wanted to give gifts to his mother-in-law, but he couldn't explain what he gave. After walking around Linglongfang, nothing could catch his eye.
Others were husbands accompanying his wife to shop. After walking for a long time, the husband felt tired, but they were fine. Chu Xing didn't see that he was tired, but Lu Mingyu and Chu Ying couldn't walk anymore. Of course, Chu Xing didn't pick up gifts that suited him. Lu Mingyu and his sister-in-law almost returned with a full load. Lu Mingyu also picked a few light-colored satin materials for Chu Xing and handed them to the embroiderer in the mansion to sew.
"Go to ** Lane to have a look?"
After coming out of the last shop on this street, Lu Mingyu tried hard to pretend that she could still keep walking for a day and asked Chu Xing with a smile.
Chu Xing nodded and helped her get into the car. Lu Mingyu went up and helped her sister again.
Chu Ying was very happy today. Her brother accompanied her to shop for the shop. She was embarrassed to buy too many of them when she saw her liked them. Now she has a sister-in-law, so she doesn’t have to choose them at all. Every time she goes to a shop, her sister-in-law will pick jewelry for her first, and she can’t refuse. Chu Ying was happy not because she received a lot of gifts, but because she liked to choose things with her sister-in-law. It looks good or not, and there is someone around her who can help you make an idea.
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law got on the car, and Chu Xing followed by the car on a horse.
Lu Mingyu picked up a crack in the curtain and looked at the man wearing a moon-white summer robe. He felt a little sad. In midsummer, it was quite cool when he went out. Now the sun was high and bright, and Chu Xing was sweating on his forehead. But she just persuaded him once, and Chu Xing insisted on riding a horse and refused to follow in the car.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Ying asked curiously.
Lu Mingyu put down the curtain guiltily and smiled: "I just heard a sound that sounded familiar. I thought it was an acquaintance, but it turned out not."
Chu Ying didn't believe it and whispered: "I'm still thinking of my sister-in-law watching my elder brother."
Lu Mingyu couldn't help but blushed.
Chu Ying laughed softly, Lu Mingyu snorted, and said angrily, "Wait, sooner or later, you will have this day."
Chu Ying was only thirteen, and she felt that she would not worry about the marriage at least two years, so she didn't care when she heard such jokes.
The carriage stopped at ** Lane, and Chu Xing took the lead in dismounting, came to help his wife and sister get off the car.
The sun was rising, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Lu Mingyu came out of the car and looked around. He was sure that there was no one nearby. He quickly wiped the sweat on Chu Xing's forehead as he stood high. Chu Xing raised his head in surprise. Lu Mingyu's face was red, holding a handkerchief and lowered his head to get out of the car without looking at him.
Chu Xing was not good at speaking, but he shook his wife's little hand hard until Lu Mingyu struggled in panic that he let go and pick up his sister.
This time, Lu Mingyu's goal was very clear. He helped Chu Xi's mother choose a gift, and immediately went home after choosing.
My mother loved calligraphy and paintings and antiques. Lu Mingyu first led the Chu brothers and sisters to the most famous calligraphy and painting shop on this street. Although Chu Xing was a young man from a noble family, he did not like poetry, songs and essays since he was a child. He only reads books with practical uses such as military books, history books, folk customs, etc. In terms of appreciation of calligraphy and painting, he is the kind of person who can see the good or bad but cannot tell the specific good.
But he was scheming and kept observing his wife. If he encountered good calligraphy and paintings, his wife would definitely show it.
However, Lu Mingyu only took a look at two famous paintings that the shop owner had just received. The first one was a chrysanthemum picture, but the master who painted the painting had something criticized, and his mother was very disliked. The other one was also an authentic painting, and his master's mastery was not inferior to other masters. However, the reputation of the painter was far less than that of the former, and the price was much cheaper. With Chu Xing's identity, Lu Mingyu knew that his mother would not think too much, but Chu Xing would most likely not choose.
But Lu Mingyu really doesn't want Chu Xing to worry too much.
Just as he was about to praise this painting, he advised Chu Xing to buy it, Chu Xing's faint voice came from beside him, "Go to another house to see it."
Lu Mingyu showed hesitation, and Chu Xing gently pushed her shoulder. Since he was giving a gift, he would give the most satisfactory one.
It was him who gave the gift, and Lu Mingyu could only listen to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw a pair of acquaintances walking in at the door. Lu Mingyu was both happy and surprised, and walked a few steps to say hello, "Second sister and second brother-in-law, why are you here?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lu Huaiyu's bulging abdomen.
Lu Huaiyu's birth period is about the end of July and early August, and there is only more than a month left. She doesn't want to move normally, but today she just wants to go out for a walk. Seeing her sister, Lu Huaiyu was even more shocked. She looked back and forth at Chu Xing and her sister. Lu Huaiyu suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, pulled Lu Mingyu aside, and whispered, "A Nuan, the Duke I saw first just now. I wondered when is there such a handsome person in the capital again? I didn't expect it to be him. Didn't he always wear a black robe? Did you choose this for him?"
While talking and laughing, laughing at your sister who is capable and has the right to control your husband.
Lu Mingyu thought she was not serious, "You care what he was wearing, but you, it was hot weather, why didn't you stay at home honestly?"
Lu Huaiyu touched her stomach unconsciously and laughed, "What do you know? You should walk more at this time. By the way, are you going to pick calligraphy and painting?"
My husband is kind to him, and the one in front of him is his own sister. Lu Mingyu couldn't help but feel so pretty, "My mother is going to celebrate her birthday, so she's going to pick up a gift for him."
Lu Huaiyu looked at Chu Xing in shock. How old is the third aunt? The elders usually celebrate their birthdays at the age of fifty. Their previous birthdays were just for their children to accompany them to have a meal. Chu Xing was so cold-hearted, and he was so good at pleaseing his mother-in-law. As soon as he had the idea, Lu Huaiyu immediately turned to his husband.
He Yu was greeting Chu Xing, and after chatting for a few words, he suddenly felt the burning gaze from his wife and couldn't help but look over.
Pregnant women have a strange temper. Lu Huaiyu felt that her husband was not good enough and never thought of giving gifts to her mother.
The wife stared at her eyes. He Yu couldn't guess why he had offended his wife again. However, Lu Mingyu knew clearly and suppressed her smile. She said generously: "Then my second brother-in-law continues to go shopping with my sister. We have something to do, so we will go to another house to see it."
"Fourth sister walks slowly." He Yu nodded and exchanged glances with Chu Xing.
When he stepped out of the entrance of the calligraphy and painting shop, Lu Mingyu's mouth was raised.
"Why are you laughing at?" Chu Xing asked curiously, Feng looked at her with eyes fixed on her eyes, and liked to see her smirk like this.
Lu Mingyu shook his head and refused to tell him. When he raised his eyes, he found that the fifth shop diagonally opposite was Lingzhu Pavilion. Lu Mingyu immediately remembered the situation of his meeting with Chu Xing in Lingzhu Pavilion last year. It was also the first time he took the initiative to kiss her. Sweet ripples appeared in his heart. Lu Mingyu whispered: "Let's go to the antique shop to have a look?"
Chu Xing looked at her eyes and couldn't help but frown. It was her mother's dowry shop, which was the shop of her husband and wife. Such a gift that was not spent on money was too insincere.
Lu Mingyu knew his thoughts and whispered: "You are thinking about celebrating my mother's birthday. This kind of intention makes my mother happier than any gift. Don't be so cares about anything else, you are not an outsider. Besides, Yingying and I have been walking with you for a long time. If you are not tired, we can't walk anymore." After speaking, she pouted slightly and looked at him with peach blossom eyes.
When she grew up, she didn't act coquettishly in front of him, and suddenly she showed such a delicate look. Chu Xing could no longer say anything to refuse.
The couple led Chu Ying to Lingzhu Pavilion and walked a few steps. He Yu suddenly heard from the calligraphy and painting shop behind him, "It was my negligence, but I was negligent. This time I will make up for it. Huaiyu, don't be angry, be careful of being angry..."
~
June 15th is Xiao’s birthday.
Chu Xing was considerate enough. In order to make his wife return to her parents' home with a radiance, he did not do bad things for two consecutive nights. Therefore, Lu Mingyu was refreshed when he woke up in the morning. After breakfast, he went to Sanqiu Hall to invite him. He turned around and brought a gift to set off.
Xiao's birthday was just a matter of the third room, and it did not disturb the other two rooms. But Prince Zhuang remembered his daughter's birthday. Even though his daughter was deserted to him, Prince Zhuang still came to the Lu family early in the morning, took Brother Ying and Sister Fu as a cover, and called Heng Ge'er, Chong Ge'er, and Nian Ge'er to play in the Lu family garden, thinking about coaxing the child first, and staying for lunch with legitimate food.
Lu Mingyu heard that his grandfather came earlier than her and felt a little complicated. He not only sympathized with his grandfather's compensatory heart for his mother, but also understood his mother's concern for his grandfather. Just like in her previous life, she believed that his father was sorry for his mother, and she also blamed her father for several years.
"Mom, this is my filial piety to you by my grandfather." Lu Mingyu didn't sigh for too long when she was her mother's birthday, and she shyly asked Caisang to carry the gift.
Xiao did not take his daughter's words seriously, but only thought that his son-in-law was brought by his daughter for politeness. She smiled and looked at Caisang, and saw the small roll of longevity green glaze and pink in Caisang's arms. There was a scroll inside. Xiao asked his daughter strangely, "Just give a picture, why did you move the roll of the roll? It's not that there is no place for my mother."
The rolling cylinder is specially used to hold painted scrolls.
Lu Mingyu blushed and lowered her head.
Caisang then said happily: "Three Lady, this painting was painted by our wife himself. The rolling tank was a gift chosen by the Duke of the Kingdom of Heaven. That day, the Duke of the Kingdom of Heaven was not attracted by it. The lady was so tired that she didn't want to leave, but the Duke of the Kingdom of Heaven insisted on going to ** Lane to take a look, and then fell in love with the rolling tank."
It’s half true and half false, how to make Xiao happy?
Xiao did not expect that he would have celebrated his birthday, and his son-in-law had carefully prepared the gift. He chose it carefully, and couldn't help but scold his daughter, "What did A Nuan mention to the Duke of the People with such a birthday?" As he said the words of criticism, the corners of his mouth were raised high. The son-in-law's careful choice of gifts shows that the son-in-law was too satisfied with his daughter, so he loved the house and knew how to respect his mother-in-law.
"Mom doesn't like it, I'll take it back." Lu Mingyu said deliberately with a tense face.
Xiao gave his daughter a doting look. Lu Mingyu walked behind her mother and skillfully pinched her shoulders. "Mom, he said he was busy with errands today and could not take a leave, but he could come over to celebrate his mother's birthday at noon, so that you remember to leave him a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Xiao held his daughter's hand and glared at her, "Stop talking witty words. If you have such a thing in the future, don't talk too much." He was giving gifts and taking the time to celebrate his birthday. How could a small birthday be worth the son-in-law's trouble?
Lu Mingyu nodded obediently.
At noon, Lu Rong was also going back to celebrate his wife's birthday. Halfway through the carriage, he ran into a son-in-law riding a horse. Lu Rong was very happy that his son-in-law was so thoughtful. But when he returned home, he found that his wife's beautiful eyes were always smiling at his son-in-law, and he couldn't be satisfied anymore. He didn't give him a single eye. Lu Rong's chest was a little blocked, and he didn't like his son-in-law and stole his limelight.
After sitting down at the mat, Lu Rong advised his son-in-law to drink a few more cups.
Chu Xing picked up the wine bowl and drank it happily.
Xiao couldn't stand it anymore. When her husband poured her son-in-law's wine again, she secretly glared at her husband, "Shi Jin will go to work as a service later, so drink less."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, it's okay to drink a few drinks." Chu Xing stood up and said, his words and deeds were very respectful.
Heng Ge'er and Nian Ge'er are both naughty and playful, and they have to give Xiao a headache every day. In contrast, the respectful and polite son-in-law in front of him is simply the good son Xiao is looking forward to. Therefore, when talking to his son-in-law, Xiao's tone became more gentle. After a while, his daughter was leaving. Xiao repeatedly reminded his daughter to take care of his son-in-law gentle and considerately.
Chu Xing turned his mother's heart away with a gift, and Lu Mingyu was also a little chewy. It was time to rest at night. She pretended to stay at the desk and carried her pen to paint.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed first." Chu Xingmu came back from Yuyu and saw that she was still painting. She quietly advised her, and walked towards the bed while saying that.
"You go to bed first. My mother doesn't like the paintings I gave me very much. I'll give her a new one." Lu Mingyu lowered her head and said sarcastically.
Chu Xing paused and turned around, and happened to meet her faint eyes that she had no time to take back. She was a little angry, but she seemed to act coquettishly.
Recalling the fact that my mother-in-law took care of him repeatedly at noon, Chu Xing only found it funny. He walked behind Lu Mingyu, hugged her from behind, tilted his head and kissed her ear, "Why are you more like a child than Brother Nian?"
"You are like a child." Lu Mingyu put down his pen in anger and pushed his elbow back to his chest.
Chu Xing smiled and indulged her little temper, and then skillfully picked her up. After two days of stalemate, she wanted to make trouble and went to bed to make trouble.
"I'm not sleepy yet!" Lu Mingyu turned his head and looked at the table, not wanting to get a discount on him so soon.
Seeing that she was reluctant to leave the desk, a few lines of handwriting suddenly flashed through her mind. His eyes darkened and he hugged her back to the desk. Lu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was so easy to talk to, but just as she was about to land, the man pushed the drawing paper with his big hand and put her on the table. At this point, Lu Mingyu had no other thoughts. Because of the height difference, Chu Xing often put her high and then kissed her. Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, he lowered his head and came over.
Lu Mingyu pretended to hide for a few times, but finally hugged his neck obediently.
However, as he kissed, Lu Mingyu suddenly realized something was wrong and held her skirt in frightened state, "You..."
Chu Xing didn't want to explain, but just suppressed all her resistance domineeringly.
