If there is a person who fights day and night, maybe you will forget about his danger, then be careful, maybe at some time he will show his fangs at you and devour you into the stomach. Unequal strength, you can never ask the other person to really put you on an equal footing.

―――――――――― from My Codex

Chu Ling glared angrily, holding the string of sugar gourds, completely looking like he wanted to rush up and scratch him a few times. Mao couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, Chu Lingfeng's small appearance and such an angry expression made him feel very cute, but this cuteness was for playthings.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch Chu Lingfeng's chubby little cheeks, and Chu Lingfeng, who was in pain, couldn't help but have misty eyes, but Chu Lingfeng didn't dare to scream in pain, nor did he dare to break free.

Although he seemed a little indulgent to him after getting along these days, Chu Lingfeng would never forget the terrifying sense of danger that he had when he first met.

This first impression made Chu Lingfeng stay wary of the demon Mao no matter how he got along with Mao easily in the future.

However, after pinching it twice, he let go, took the initiative to reach out and grab Chu Lingfeng's chubby little hand, and pulled him to the main courtyard.

The young master of the Chu family came to her grandmother to ask for peace later than the aunts, so the Zhao family was still very quiet here, and Chu Shulan was sitting next to the Zhao family and reported to her the chores at home these days with a clear voice.

Then the Zhao family would point out a few words to Chu Shulan.

And Chu Minlan was also listening to the side, nodding from time to time, it seems that although the Zhao family doesn't like this concubine, they still won't be at ease about the upbringing that a concubine should have, after all, the daughter of the Chu family not only represents herself, but also represents the entire Chu family, or the face of the family surnamed Chu.

Seeing Chu Lingfeng coming in, Chu Shulan and Chu Minlan both stood up.

"Mother, the child has come to greet you." Chu Lingfeng is son-in-law, he spoke first, and then bowed respectfully, and Mao directly released an illusion, so that others could see Chu Lingxuan saluting and greeting.

After all, he was a celestial demon, so he wouldn't salute mere mortals.

"You must have missed breakfast, I'm going to have dinner here, and you two brothers should stay and eat with me with your sisters."

Four people, of course, will not refuse, and cannot refuse.

In front of the round table, Mrs. Zhao sat in the main seat, the two young ladies sat on either side of her, Chu Lingfeng and Mao sat opposite her, and a group of beautiful maids walked outside with silver plates of food and walked in.

First, they were given a silver basin and a clean and soft towel to wash their hands, and then they were set for dinner.

The porridge is a very healthy green rice porridge, stewed warm and sweet. The delicately made small buns look the same as the snow balls, which is very appetizing. A plate of steamed dumplings, a plate of crispy pancakes, a plate of finely processed diced duck meat, a plate of shredded radish cakes, and a few plates of hors d'oeuvres.

It's not much, but it's exquisite, and the food is very health-conscious. After breakfast, everyone is going to have a bowl of bird's nest to make everyone feel warm even in the winter.

After the maids removed the qiē, they served hot goat's milk that had been removed from the fishy smell and put it in a delicate glass cup, which made people's hearts warm just by looking at it.

The eldest girl took two stacks of invitations, and put one of the relatively delicate stacks in front of Chu Shulan and Chu Minlan, and the other relatively small stack in front of Mao.

"Before a girl gets married, it is the happiest day, Shu Lan, Min Lan, I like you to enjoy it during this time, as a noble daughter of a family, you must learn to adjust your mentality. These posts have received invitations from various ladies in Beijing in recent days, and there are snow and plum blossoms and tea, so you can pick a few and go out to see it before the New Year. With a look of kindness on Zhao's face, he motioned for the two of them to look at the post, then turned to Mao and smiled, "Ling Xuan, although you have given up the imperial examination, you still have to have the communication you should have, and as the eldest son, you still need to take on some responsibilities, and these are what you need to visit on behalf of the Chu family." ”

These days, the Zhao family has also carefully observed Mao, and of course they have also discovered the difference between him and Chu Lingxuan, even if Mao is well disguised, but the observation of a noble woman is not underestimated. But the Zhao clan didn't make it clear, but the kind of vigilance against Chu Lingxuan faded.

Mao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at Zhao's already pregnant body, and said lightly: "You are pregnant with a boy." ”

For a demon who can feed on his soul, it couldn't be easier to see through the gender of an unborn child.

Zhao couldn't help but move, his eyes looked at Mao with some unpredictability, Chu Lingfeng was almost looking up to the sky and sighing, wouldn't this demon be uncomfortable if he didn't make a little movement?

"Then I will accept your auspicious words, and I hope that my mother will add a little brother to us." Chu Minlan seemed to want to speak, but was preempted by Chu Shulan's smile, he looked at Zhao's belly, and there was a slight expectation in his eyes.

After all, for a family that pays attention to many sons and many blessings, the more children the better, especially if this is the younger brother of her mother.

Chu Minlan couldn't help but look at "Chu Lingfeng", who was still smiling, looking very kind and gentle, and Chu Lingfeng, who also looked expectant, and felt that she really couldn't guess the thoughts of these ancients, shouldn't a brother be a threat to them? Chu Lingfeng didn't say much, after all, he was a brother, why didn't Chu Lingxuan, who was the eldest son, mind? Chu Minlan, who had read many house fighting and palace fighting novels before crossing, was very incomprehensible.

Zhao smiled slightly, and took the flattery of "Chu Lingxuan", and then opened his mouth to say the real purpose of his stay, "After the New Year, several princes need to choose new companions, and they may have to choose from our families, Ling Xuan, your age in the family is really suitable." ”

As soon as the point stopped, Zhao asked the four of them to go back.

"Ling Xuan, wait a minute." As soon as he walked out of the main courtyard, he was stopped by Chu Shulan behind him, turned around, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chu Shulan, who was elegant but walked quickly to him.

"Something?"

They don't have much contact.

Chu Lingfeng paused for a moment, although he knew that it was not safe to let his sister be with this demon, but after looking at the expression on Chu Shulan's face, he still decided not to go to this troubled water, anyway, it was impossible for him to eat Chu Shulan here.

Chu Minlan has been in this world for so long and has learned a lot, and before she didn't have the capital to compete with her eldest daughter, she was clearly worth avoiding. Let the maid stay farther away, and the "sister and brother" will have a relatively private space to speak.

"You also heard it just now, the princes want to choose a companion." Chu Shulan bit her lip lightly, hesitated, and opened her mouth, "I hope you don't go, even if you go, you have to hide it and not be chosen." ”

A real family, prosperous times, troubled times and secluded worlds. Even if a clansman enters the court as an official, he will not participate in the battle between the princes, let alone fight for the dragon's merits.

In her previous life, Chu Shulan forgot this family motto, and in this life, she will remember it in her heart, and she will also stop this younger brother who is involved in the wind and rain and the family.

"In what capacity are you stopping me?" The corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile, such a smile that was not "Chu Lingxuan" made Chu Shulan stunned.

"Is it the identity of the eldest daughter of the Chu family? Still is? She smiled, looking at this soul who had some vicissitudes but was not as perceptive as her mother, "An insider who has experienced a qiē? ”
