His mother passed away in his previous life. Lu Mingyu had been mourning for three years. After filial piety, he rarely went out. He only moved more at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but he never met Chu Xing, the commander of the Beijing camp. The first time I saw Chu Xing was on the day after the wedding. At that time, Chu Xing had a scar about two inches long on his left face, which was cold and terrifying. He also had an arm missing, his sleeves were empty, and he sat upright. Lu Mingyu looked at it and was so scared that he lowered his head and did not dare to look again.

Lu Mingyu was afraid of this eldest uncle, but Chu Sui respected her cousin very much. When she learned about her fear, Chu Sui told her a lot about Chu Xing. For example, Chu Xing went to fight to kill the enemy at the age of sixteen, and was injured in his left eye and could only see something within three feet. But this was a secret that only the Chu men knew. Chu Suixin told her and told her to keep her mouth shut. He also said that Chu Xing went to Liaodong at the age of nineteen, and the battle was tragic. In the end, he defeated the more at the cost of losing an arm, and captured the general of the Hu. The scar on his face was also left by this battle.

Simply put, every injury on Chu Xing's body has a story worthy of respect.

Later, Chu Xing died on the battlefield, Lu Mingyu was heartbroken for a while, and died young for the brave general.

But Chu Xing in front of him had a handsome face like jade, no scar at all, his figure was upright, proudly like pine and cypress, and his arms were sound.

When he noticed that the other party had seen it, Lu Mingyu suddenly came back to his senses and reacted at the same time. Chu Xing was exactly nineteen years old this year, but he would not lead his troops to Liaodong to resist foreign enemies in June. In other words, Chu Xing has difficulty seeing things with his left eye now?

"A Nuan?"

The little granddaughter was stunned, and Lu Zhan whispered that it was a courtesy to see the elders greeting him. Could it be that the little granddaughter was frightened by Chu Xing?

"Cousin's uncle."

Lu Mingyu hurried forward and bowed to Chu Xing in a good manner. Lu Mingyu is usually very polite, and with respect for Chu Xing in his heart, Lu Mingyu raised his head and greeted Chu Xing with a bright smile: "Is cousin leaving? Is it better for cousin to use it here before leaving?"

Chu Sui was only seven years older than her, so Lu Mingyu would not call him cousin. Chu Xing was different, but she was one round and she should call him cousin. Moreover, she is still young now, and it is in accordance with etiquette to regard Chu Xing as an elder. She rashly pays attention to her uncle and avoids relatives and sisters. It is so strange that it falls into the eyes of others.

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet. When she smiled, her eyes were like the moon in the water and her cheeks were like colorful clouds in the sky. Chu Xing looked at the girl in front of her who was not as tall as his waist, and she was a little unable to meet her younger brother and sister in memory. He didn't deal with her younger brother and sister many times, and what impressed her the most was that she offered tea that day, her hands trembled faintly, and obviously was also scared by the scars on his face.

But Chu Xing quickly realized that his younger brother and sister are just seven years old now, innocent and innocent. He has no scars on his face, so there is no need to be afraid of him.

"No, I still have something to do, thank you..."

After all, he is a future younger brother and sister. Chu Xing cannot call out his brother and sister's name. In order to hide his hesitation in the title, Chu Xing turned to Lu Zhan and raised his hand to salute: "Young man, leave first, Lord Shangshu stay." Not to mention the marriage between his cousin and Xiao Congjian, the Chu and Lu families have very little personal relationship, and Chu Xing came here today because of a official business.

Lu Zhan nodded. Chu Xing was just a junior. He admired Chu Xing for being brave and resourceful, so he gave him a little extra time.

"Goodbye." Chu Xing bowed his hand, then turned around and left without looking sideways.

Looking at Chu Xing's cold back, Lu Zhan showed his eyes and unconsciously touched his beautiful beard. The young man was terrified. Before he could even Guan, Chu Xing became the commander of the Shenshu Camp and was in charge of the three thousand most elite cavalry in the Great Qi Dynasty. He was highly valued by the emperor. It has to be said that the old guild teaches his grandson and the Chu family has successors.

Before Lu Yun and the other four had completely come back to their senses, Lu Huaiyu was more lively and brave, and looked at his grandfather in confusion: "Grandfather, I have never seen him before, why should I call him cousin uncle? The prince of the Duke of Chu's mansion is Yingying's eldest brother?"

There is also a sister named Chu Ying under Chu Xing, who is only five years old this year. She has met the girls when they go out to visit.

The granddaughter was naive and ignorant. Lu Zhan was about to explain, but suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Mingyu: "Does A Nuan know why she called him cousin uncle?" She looked like she was taking the granddaughter's homework.

Lu Mingyu nodded, "I know that my uncle is going to marry Prince Chu's cousin, and Prince Chu will become his uncle's wife and brother-in-law, so when we see him, we have to call him cousin." His voice was childish and he didn't have to pretend to be simple, so he was no different from an ordinary seven-year-old girl. He was more clever and cute when analyzing the relationship between relatives.

As soon as he envied other people's descendants, his granddaughter showed his clever side. Lu Zhan was in a good mood and couldn't help but touch his little granddaughter's head, "A Nuan is so smart."

Is this worthy of praise?

With a sixteen-year-old heart in his arms, Lu Mingyu felt guilty for this and blushed his face with embarrassment. Lu Huaiyu looked at her grandfather's big hand that had never touched her head, and was so envious. Taking advantage of the little smile on her grandfather's face, Lu Huaiyu mustered up the courage to run over and raised the food box in her hand high, "Grandfather, I made the osmanthus cake, would you taste it? I made it myself, and the maid didn't help."

The big eyes were filled with desire, and the grandfather praised her.

Lu Zhan had noticed that the children were holding things in their hands and guessed that they were all given to him. Lu Zhan was inexplicably relieved. He was too busy and neglected his daughters and granddaughters. The girls were still thinking about him, so they took the food box, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in their mouths. After tasting it, they praised his second granddaughter very seriously, "Well, Huaiyu's hand is so good that he can make pastries only at the age of eight."

Lu Huaiyu was extremely excited and her face was flushed.

Lu Zhansai said to the other four girls, "Let's go and sit in the house with grandfather, enter the house and see your gifts."

"Um!"

The girls all said authentically, surrounding the tall men from both sides and walked towards the main hall happily.

Lu Yun gave a delicate purse embroidered by himself, the eldest girl Lu Jinyu gave a good handwriting, the second girl Lu Huaiyu made a sweet and delicious osmanthus cake, and the third girl Lu Yan played a flute with low confidence but nice sound. Xiao Sheng ended, and Lu Zhan encouraged and praised him as usual. Lu Yan suppressed his excitement and tried to remain reserved. Lu Huaiyu didn't like his grandfather's praise for the concubine's sister, so he turned his head with a tense face.

Lu Zhan pretended that he didn't pay attention to his second granddaughter's little thoughts and asked his little granddaughter with a smile, "A Nuan wants to send her grandfather to paint?"

Lu Mingyu nodded, walked to his grandfather and handed over the painting in his hand.

The children were versatile, Lu Zhan and Youyou were honored, and their smiles were much more than usual. However, when he slowly unfolded the scroll of his little granddaughter, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, staring at the stone courtyard on the painting with joy and anger. After a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at the little granddaughter quietly with black eyes, "How did A Nuan draw it?"

Lu Mingyu had already thought of the words. She showed moderate nervousness against her grandfather's pressure and whispered: "I don't know what my grandfather likes, so I ran to ask my grandmother, and said that my grandmother liked her old house. Every time I practiced the soldiers..."

Lu Zhan's face changed slightly. Of course he knew what he had done back then. He was annoyed in his heart that his wife and granddaughter talked about these things. He couldn't show it on his face. He smiled and praised his granddaughter: "Well, A Nuan painted it well, especially this hawthorn tree. Grandfather liked it very much. Okay, grandfather still has something to do. You can go back first. Grandfather will take you out for fun when he has time."

When the children give gifts, they naturally have to express themselves.

"Ah, then grandfather, don't forget!" Lu Huaiyu jumped up and shouted.

Lu Zhan smiled and used his eyes to signal that the children could leave.

Lu Yun took his four nieces to say goodbye.

Only himself was left in the main hall. Lu Zhan unfolded his granddaughter's scroll again. Looking at the familiar stone house, the man's expression became softer and softer, and he unknowingly fell into memories. The original wife had already gone back then, and he went outside to lead the troops, was injured and hid in a village house, and met Zhu.

Fourteen-year-old Zhu is beautiful and simple. She is afraid of him. She likes his face and always peeks at him. The hawthorn tree in the yard bears fruit. She carefully selects the insect-free ones to wash it off, then digs out the seeds inside, and then gives him the seeds for him to eat. He trusts her too much, and accidentally eats a seed, which breaks its teeth. When she hears the sound, she is so scared that her face turns white. She lowers her head and holds her sleeves to admit her mistake, and tears fall.

Lu Zhan doesn't know much about what love is. He only knows that it's easy to be with Zhu, and only knows that he likes to see her stupidly, so he will take a break from his busy schedule to find excuses to go to the village to see her. He will come to the door to propose marriage with gifts. Before returning to Beijing, he married her in the village and held another banquet when he returned to Beijing.

The Zhu family at that time...

"grandfather?"

The memory was interrupted, and Lu Zhan suddenly looked up and saw a girl in pink dress standing at the doorway holding the doorpost, looking at him timidly.

Lu Zhan naturally put away the scroll and waved to his granddaughter who had returned, "Come here."

Lu Mingyu really felt unsure this time, so he walked to his grandfather in small steps and looked at him carefully.

"Why is A Nuan back? Do you have something to say to your grandfather?" Lu Zhan asked gently, but his tone was very firm.

Lu Mingyu vaguely guessed that his grandfather probably thought it was asked by her grandmother. If she admitted it, her sincerity would become a deliberate plan by her grandmother. But Lu Mingyu didn't blame her grandfather for thinking so. After all, she was too young and was not yet old to know how to use this method to make peace with the old, so her grandfather had reasons for doubt.

Nodded, Lu Mingyu looked at his grandfather blankly, "How did you know?"

Lu Zhan smiled slightly, without answering, moved to the side, then hugged his granddaughter and sat on the empty chair, "What do A Nuan want to say?"

Lu Mingyu looked at him nervously, lowered her head, and clenched her little hand and said, "Grandfather, when I went to find my grandmother, my grandmother was crying. I asked her why she cried. Grandmother said that her grandfather wanted to take her aunt away and prevent her grandmother from seeing her... I asked why, grandmother said that her grandfather didn't like her... After crying, she washed her face. I thought that grandmother looked better without makeup. Grandmother said that she looked easy to bully. She was afraid that others would laugh at her father and aunt because she laughed at her father and aunt... Grandmother also told me how she met her grandfather..."

Whatever you think of, it seems like every sentence is simple, but there is a simple logic of a child.

Some things are too clear and inappropriate. All the hints should be hinted. Lu Mingyu raised her head, with tears as big as beans on her face, and begged the big man beside her, "Grandfather, I don't want to see my grandmother cry. Don't bet her anymore, don't take her away, okay? Grandmother said she wanted to move back to the stone house to live, and I can't bear to leave my grandmother..."

The more I talked, the more I cried, and finally leaned into the man's arms, and all the tears were wiped up.

Lu Zhan listened to his granddaughter's simple begging and listening to his granddaughter's thrusting, and his heart was mixed. How could he really separate his wife and daughter? He just... He went to Aunt Zhou's side before, but the next day she must have dressed up gently and turned back to the way he liked. This morning, his wife did not change her makeup. Lu Zhan thought that his wife had completely seen vanity better than him, so he couldn't help but feel stuffy in her chest and vented it.

It turned out that she took it seriously and even cried?

Lu Zhan was a little unable to sit still, so he sincerely coaxed his granddaughter first, "A Nuan stop crying. Grandpa scared your grandmother. He didn't really quarrel with his grandmother. Grandma would not go anywhere. He would continue to stay in Ning'an Hall to coax A Nuan, A Nuan stop crying?"

"Really?" Lu Mingyu slowly stopped crying and asked with tears in his eyes.

Lu Zhan nodded while helping his granddaughter wipe his tears, and his face no longer had the majesty of the cold Shangshu.

Lu Mingyu bit his lip and became more and more frustrated, "Then, then grandfather will go to apologize to his grandmother now? You scared grandmother to cry..."

Lu Zhan has never been ordered by a woman in his life, but when he faced his granddaughter's little look of pouting and holding on to his grandmother's dissatisfaction, Lu Zhan felt funny, and pinched his granddaughter's face helplessly, and said in a whispering tone: "Grandfather wants to go, but A Nuan is crying too. Grandfather has to coax A Nuan first."

No matter who is, it is easiest to put down all kinds of airs in front of simple children.

Lu Mingyu's face turned red with dissatisfaction. He really didn't expect that his grandfather, who was almost fifty years old, would be so... gentle and beautiful when he coaxed him.

"I won't cry anymore, grandfather, go and coax grandmother!"

Without wanting to delay the reconciliation of his grandfather and grandmother, Lu Mingyu wiped his eyes casually, jumped off the chair quickly, and ran away without looking back, like a small pink butterfly, flying further and further away.

Lu Zhan withdrew his gaze, pinched the scroll in his hand, sat quietly for a moment, and finally stood up and went to Ning'antang behind to coax his wife.
