It was sunny in the first few days of the twelfth lunar month, and the snow in the yard gradually melted, and there was almost no fresh snow to make up for the melted snowman.

A Xun likes snowmen, and Hanzhu was worried for a few days, afraid that the little guy would cry when the snowman eventually melted. As a result, when A Xun was playing in the yard that day, Heihei accidentally hit the snowman and knocked the snowman out of a dog's head pit. Hanzhu was ready to coax A Xun, but A Xun suddenly giggled and also put his handprints on the snowman. Hanzhu was afraid that he would catch a cold and not allow him to touch it with his hands. A Xun changed to step on it with his feet, and each person and a dog were tossing there, and soon the snowman was knocked down.

Heihei ran to another place, and Ah Xun chased after him as if nothing had happened.

Hanzhu was so amused that she ordered the maids to clean up the broken snow.

It was almost noon, and Hanzhu led Ah Xun to the front yard for meals. When he entered the room, he saw Chu Qing sitting alone on the couch. Chu Hong and his brothers had not arrived yet.

Hanzhu was surprised. Chu Hong had two delays during this period. He came late, so Chu Man had always been the first to arrive.

"I didn't ask your third brother and fourth sister to come. Today, Daddy will only accompany you." Seeing his daughter's surprise, Chu Qing explained with a smile, with no one to see the deep meaning in his eyes.

Hanzhu didn't dare to look at him for a long time, and smiled, put A Xun on the couch, unbuttoned his cloak, took off his shoes, and asked him to find his father. She sat down opposite Chu Qing. Wanyun picked up the curtain at the door and went out to deliver the dishes. Soon the little maids entered one after another and placed a few hot dishes on the mahogany low table.

"Eat it." Chu Qing took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.

Hanzhu was used to eating with him at the same table and was no longer reserved. When he was having a meal, he glanced at the empty seat beside him and couldn't help but secretly wonder. What is the special day today? Hanzhu had memorized the birthday of the Chu family. After thinking about it, he still couldn't understand the meaning of Chu Qing calling them siblings alone.

After using the meal in Ah Xun's crisp childish voice, Chu Qing put on her boots first, turned around and helped her son wear it, saying, "The sun is good outside, Daddy takes you to the garden. Daddy wanted to accompany you a few days ago. The snow has become cold, so it has been delayed until today."

Only then did Hanzhu understand why he didn't call Chu Hong and his sister over. He really called him and sent him back and only accompanied her and A Xun. Wouldn't it hurt the hearts of Chu Hong and his sister? But this matter cannot be hidden, right?

Unable to guess what Chu Qing was thinking, Hanzhu simply put away her confusion and showed a slight surprise.

No matter what, Chu Qing is now really trying to compensate her sons and daughters.

The gardens of Yunyang Hou Mansion are almost as big as two Wukang Bo Mansions. In the deep winter, most places are covered with yellow scenery. Fortunately, the sky is blue and there is no hidden branches and green leaves, and the scenery is also open, with the soft sunlight shining on the body, warm and warm.

"I can't walk anymore, Dad hug you." Ah Xun dared to act coquettishly with Dad. After walking for a while, he suddenly turned to Chu Qing and hugged his thighs.

Chu Qing bent down and lifted his son up, pinched the little guy's arm and asked, "When Ah Xun grows up, do you want to study or practice martial arts?"

Axun immediately said, "I want to practice martial arts. My cousin taught me to ride a horse and shoot arrows. My cousin's bow is very large!" As he said, his face red with excitement.

Chu Qing pulled the corner of his mouth and pressed his son's little hand and said, "Don't need to teach me, my father's kung fu is better than him. When Ah Xun grows up, his dad will teach you." After finally having a son who wants to practice martial arts, how could he let Cheng Yu meddle in other people's business? Even if Cheng Yu can practice one hand with a great archery, it wouldn't work.

Dad wants to teach him too?

Ah Xun opened his mouth, dazed.

Chu Qing stared at his son to see how he responded.

Ah Xun looked at his father, blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at his sister, "Sister is a girl, but she doesn't practice martial arts." He was stupid.

The little guy was weird, Hanzhu smiled and pointed his nose, but Cheng Yu's cold face appeared in his mind. He had lived in the Hou Mansion for half a month. She had no news about the Zhou family, nor did Cheng Yu have any of them. She lived the leisurely life of the daughter of the Hou Mansion every day, and her days before were like dreams.

After walking a while, I turned over the rockery, a small hill appeared in front of me, and red plums were planted on it. It was the season when the plum blossoms were blooming. At first glance, it looked like a red cloud. On the top of the hill, there was a pavilion exposed in a corner, which seemed to be someone talking and laughing, and I couldn't hear clearly.

Hanzhu looked at the plum blossoms in the clouds, her eyes full of stunning, and Chu Qing looked at her daughter sideways, with complex eyes.

"That's plum clouds. Let's go and enjoy the plums." He took a step forward.

"No!" Ah Xun started crying without warning, opened his mouth and leaned towards Hanzhu, crying and stopping, "If you don't go, sister won't go!"

Hanzhu hurriedly took his younger brother over and squatted down to coax him: "A Xun won't cry, sister won't go, don't cry, and the sand will blow into her mouth when she cries."

Ah Xun immediately closed his mouth, and tears were still falling on his face.

Hanzhu took out a handkerchief to wipe it off. Ah Xun twitched it a few times, leaned into his sister's arms and said, "If you don't go, you will bleed if you fall."

Hanzhu paused and looked at Meilin again. It turned out that something happened to Chu Han here...

Chu Qing also squatted down, carried A Xun to his side, looked at his son and asked, "Last time, my sister knocked her head, do you want to avenge her sister?"

Ah Xun's tears stopped and he looked at his father blankly.

Chu Qing touched his head and pointed at Meiqiu and said, "Let's go up there, A Xun tells his father and sister where they fell. When Dad beats the stone there, he avenges his sister. When his sister stands over again, the stone will not dare to throw her sister again."

On that day, he sent someone to investigate the situation. His daughter took her younger brother to play in Meiqiu, and followed her two maids arranged by her mother for her. Because the guards did not follow her, only the master and servant knew how her daughter fell. After the daughter had an accident, the two maids were taken back by the Zhou family. Fang said that she had been sent away and must have killed the two maids. Since she had taken her life, it means that they did not find out anything, otherwise they would definitely leave the person for him to interrogate. Zhou Yin and his wife were honest people and would not force the maids to frame anyone and kill them, which was considered as punishment for not taking good care of their daughter.

The maid died and the daughter couldn't remember it, so he could only ask his son. When asked on the mountain, his son might remember it more clearly. If there is anything that cannot be explained clearly, he could also point it to him.

A Xun is a little fool. When he heard that his father wanted to avenge his favorite sister, he immediately refused to object and hugged him to leave quickly.

Hanzhu followed behind in a complicated mood.

The plum blossoms are brilliant and fragrant all the way, but no one wants to enjoy the scenery at this time.

Chu Qing directly carried his son to the top of the mountain. The plum hill slope was gentle and the top was only more than ten feet high from the ground.

"Second uncle." Seeing the three of them, Chu Huai and Chu Rong quickly walked out of the octagonal pavilion to greet him. The third lady followed behind with a smile and said to Chu Qing: "It's a coincidence that the second brother also brought the two brothers to enjoy the plum blossoms?"

A Xun rushed to say, "I want to avenge my sister!" As he said, he pointed to the cliff ahead, and said angrily and aggrievedly: "Sister fell from there." Thinking of his sister walking there, it suddenly disappeared, A Xun lay on his father's shoulder and started crying.

The third wife and the three of them immediately understood that Chu Qing was investigating the case.

Chu Rong looked at Hanzhu and saw her lowered eyes, as if she was afraid and sad. She moved her mouth, but in the end she could not say comforting words, and stood silently beside her mother and her mind turned around. If someone really wanted to harm Chu Han, Aunt Xia's mother and daughter were the most suspicious, but firstly, there were only Chu Han and four of them on the mountain that day, and secondly, Chu Man was a small person and should not be so vicious. Aunt Xia could survive to this point, which was definitely not a fool. It would be no good for her to harm the eldest daughter of the Marquis's house. It would be even more impossible that others would immediately suspect that she was doing stupid things even if they knew something happened to Chu Man's brother.

It’s not Aunt Xia, no matter how hard Chu Han treats the maids and servants in the yard, she will only curse a few words so that people will hate her to kill her.

So, this is really just an accident, right?

Fortunately, Chu Han is fine.

He looked at Hanzhu again, and Chu Rong suddenly didn't hate her so much. Actually, this is also a pitiful person, right?

"I just made a pot of plum blossom tea. My elder sister went to have a cup of warm-up body, right?" Chu Rong walked to Hanzhu and invited softly.

"Go." Chu Qing nodded to Hanzhu, worried that he would revisit the old place, and his daughter was afraid.

Hanzhu went to the pavilion with Chu Rong.

Chu Huai watched his two sisters enter the pavilion, and then looked at the cliff, and his brows frowned. He had heard of many secrets in the back house. In private, the mistress framed the concubine, the concubine plotted against the mistress, and the brothers and sisters of the legitimate and illegitimate brothers and sisters were even more lively. Neither the eldest uncle nor his father had a concubine, so there were many women in the yard of the second uncle, but something happened. What was the inside story? He, a junior, didn't know, but he usually got along with Chu Hong, and it didn't seem bad.

Seeing Chu Qing holding A Xun and walking towards the front, Chu Huai thought about it and followed.

The third lady told them with her heart: "Be careful, don't be too close to you."

Chu Qing stopped a step away from the cliff, crushing the dead grass on the edge of the cliff, and asked A Xun: "Sister came by himself? Where is A Xun?"

Ah Xun didn't dare to look down, lay on his father's shoulder, pointed to the pavilion and said, "It's there."

"Did the sister say why I came here?" Chu Qing winked at her nephew and turned around and walked back.

Ah Xun shook his head, "I want to come too, my sister won't let you."

"Where is the purple coral?" Chu Qing squatted down and looked into his son's eyes.

Zishan Zihu is Chu Han's two big maids. A Xun likes them quite a bit. He blinked his eyes and said, "Zishan hugged me. Zihu wants to go. Sister is not allowed, and she is not allowed to leave the pavilion. Then sister falls down..." He started crying again.

Chu Qing touched her son's head and sighed in her heart. It seemed that her daughter had really made a mistake in accident. She just didn't sit in the pavilion and insisted on going to such a dangerous place. What was she thinking?

Looking at the Pavilion and facing his daughter's worried little face, Chu Qing forced a smile.

Chu Huai retreated to his mother and saw that her mother looked a little unfair. He knew that her mother felt sorry for her cousin and explained in a low voice: "It really fell down accidentally. Mom, stop thinking about her." The mother cared about her cousin because she was soft and kind, and she insisted on being unable to get along with Aunt Xia for this, and she was just causing trouble.

The third lady nodded and said to Chu Qing: "The second brother will accompany the children to appreciate the plum blossoms. In the afternoon, my sister-in-law asked me to go over and discuss the list of the seventeenth banquet. I'll prepare first."

Every year, the court's rest from the fifteenth lunar month to the fifteenth lunar month of the first lunar month of the Lantern Festival is the most frequent time for the nobles in the capital. This year, when Chu Qing returned from the victory, she discussed with the old lady and the eldest lady, and set the day of the banquet for the Marquis's Mansion before the New Year, which is not only a festival but also a celebration of Chu Qing and Chu Yuan's contributions. Besides, Chu Qing is here, as a younger brother and sister, she should avoid it.

Chu Qing nodded and hugged Ah Xun to the pavilion to find her sister.

Things were over, and Chu Huai returned to his relaxed appearance. He sat next to Chu Qing, and laughed at A Xun with a smile.

There were bursts of laughter on the mountain, floating down from afar.

At the foot of the mountain, the third lady looked back and saw that the afternoon sun was falling, and she was stunned by her eyes, which made others unable to see through the emotions in her eyes.

Her maid saw her lips curled up and then smiled, "Our second young master and third girl are the most amusing."
