Fu Lingyun also remembered that Lu Yiqing had also told him that he had seen that Liu Yuqin and a woman who looked like Cao Xiulian had been in the same carriage, and immediately asked Lian Feng to arrange for someone to stare at Liu Yuqin to see if Cao Xiulian's whereabouts could be found from her.

Time passed quickly as Chu Qingruo anxiously waited for the news of Cao Xiulian's arrest. In the blink of an eye, the 100-day mourning period passed, and a fine first snow began to fall in the sky.

Chu Wenxuan still ignores the affairs of the house, and sends poems and paintings in the Cuizhu Garden every day. Now the Chu Mansion has completely become the eldest aunt and grandmother's house, and the original Bifangyuan has become a courtyard where the eldest aunt and grandmother live with her two children. Fortunately, her son is a duty, very different from that chapter of Yunbao, he only knows how to study all day long, but he is also peaceful.

On this day, Chu Qingruo was enjoying the snow in his house when he suddenly heard a cry of pain, and couldn't help but go out to take a look.

I saw a petite figure fall into the snow in the white snow, a blue smoke-colored moon skirt stuck a little stain in the snow, a pure and beautiful little face lifted up from the snow, and wet eyes looked around uneasily like a little elk.

Mother Zhou walked over and helped her up, patting the snow on her body while asking her, "Is it Miss Cousin?" Did you fall painfully? ”

It turned out that she was the stupid daughter of the eldest aunt and grandmother, Gongsun Xiuju.

Chu Qingruo only felt a little surprised, there was really no way to connect the cooked dog-headed face of the eldest aunt and grandmother with the little elk in front of him.

Walking over with a smile, Chu Qingruo took her hand and asked her, "Sister Ju, did you fall in pain?" ”

"I'm not called Sister Ju, my name is Aju." The little elk replied to her earnestly.

Chu Qingruo smiled: "Okay, then, Ah Ju told my sister, did it hurt to fall?" ”

The little elk shook her head, and Chu Qingruo was amused by her again.

"Big sister, you look so good when you smile, my mother said, you are my cousin, what is my cousin? Is it tasty? ”

"Cousin is ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man hurrying to the gate of the courtyard, childish and panicked.

"Sister, come here, my mother said that you can't disturb your cousin." The person who came was the elder brother of the little elk, Gongsun Lindong, Dongge'er.

Seeing Chu Qingruo looking over, he straightened up with a nervous face and respectfully saluted Chu Qingruo. Then he ran over and pulled up Ah Ju and ran away in a panic.

Chu Qing Ruoxing will laugh vividly, this aunt and grandmother are not good, and the two children are good.

After a while, the porter sent someone to send a post, and it was Lu Yiqing who came. Chu Qingruo hurriedly invited him in.

Lu Yiqing entered the courtyard, took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Deshun, shook the snow on his head and stepped into the house.

Lu Yiqing picked up the newly written poem on her table and looked at it, praised it, sat down and picked up the teacup and drank two sips before speaking: "Ruo'er has been to General Fu's Mansion recently?" ”

Chu Qingruo said yes, he only went there a few days ago.

"How's that stuffy gourd now?"

Chu Qingruo asked him with a narrow smile: "Brother is here today for Wen Yuan, okay?" ”

Lu Yiqing was embarrassed: "Little sister Hugh wants to make fun of me." Brother is helpless, so he came to ask my little sister for help. ”

Since some time ago, at the suggestion of everyone, the two have been called brother and sister since they married Jin Lan. Lu Yiqing thought that he was Fu Lingyun's bastard's eldest brother from now on, and his heart was extremely happy, and he loved this righteous sister more and more.

Major General Fu hated this, and also "severely punished" Han Ling'er, the person who took the lead in proposing, and punished her to go out with Lian Feng alone to buy things for the New Year. Watching Han Ling'er fly over with an eye-marking knife relieved.

At the end of autumn, Lu Yiqing heard that the emperor intended to marry him and the strange county lord of King Jinyang, and he couldn't digest the news because he couldn't understand it, and wanted to ask his father but was stopped by his mother, telling him not to be impatient, his father had his own considerations.

Lu Yiqing, who has always been calm and light-hearted, can no longer be calm, considering, what else to consider, what kind of person is the county lord of Jinyang, hasn't my father heard about it a long time ago? Why do you have to make such calculations?

Before he could say a few words, he saw Lian Feng hurriedly running over, standing at the door and asking Chu Qingruo how he was, he said helplessly to Lu Yiqing: "Your Highness, our young master asked me to come and talk to you, you should almost go back to the palace, there will be a curfew in the house soon, and you won't be able to enter if it's late." ”

Lu Yiqing couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "I, I've just arrived!" You tell him to see what time it is, it's just past noon and there is a curfew, this, this, it's too unusual, you go and tell him that I won't go back tonight, so I'll stay here. ”

Lian Feng was helpless, these two naïve people were afraid that they would not be cured in this life, and they felt sorry for themselves running around because they were involved.

Chu Qingruo smiled: "Brother, don't worry about him, come, drink tea, let's continue." ”

Sent Lian Feng away, took a sip of tea, pinched out some unspeakable rumors that he heard in the palace that day, picked the key points and said to Chu Qingruo, and said that it was really not good, and he also learned from Fu Lingyun's bastard to go to the battlefield to fight.

After hearing this, Chu Qingruo pondered for a while, and said to him: "Brother, you must not, the Holy Lord is wise and wise, there must be his plan for doing this, and besides, this holy decree has not been issued yet, and my brother must not chase the wind and catch the shadows and mess with every inch." ”

Lu Yiqing was helpless.

If Chu Qing saw him so distressed, he was also sympathetic. So he opened his mouth to comfort him and said, "Brother, don't be distressed, the Holy Wise and Saint Martial Arts, there must be other plans for such a approach!" Why don't you wait and see what happens, why bother yourself? ”

Lu Yiqing thought about it carefully and sighed: "I'm about myself, it's messy!" ”

"Bah~poof~" With the first sound of firecrackers, every household in the imperial capital rushed to set up firecrackers, and in the sound of firecrackers all over the city, it was the New Year.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and because it is still in the filial piety period, this year's New Year in Chu Mansion is particularly deserted. It's just that the family simply made a few tables of noodles and ate them together in the whole house, which is considered to be the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chu Wenxuan's table only had his aunt, Chu Wenxuan and his two pregnant aunts. Chu Qingruo sat at the same table with Dong Ge'er and Sister Ju, Zhou's mother and Yan's mother, and Han Ling'er and Kang Zi sat at the same table. During the filial piety period, you can't drink alcohol, and tea is used on the table instead.

As the head of the family, Chu Wenxuan took the cup and said a few words, then announced the opening of the banquet.

When everyone was eating, they suddenly heard Aunt Hui, who was sitting on the right side of Chu Wenxuan, suddenly speak:

"Auntie, now the old lady's funeral has been almost done. My aunt and grandmother have also worked hard for a long time. You see, if you are going back one day, Aunt Wanwang must inform our sisters, so that we can personally pack up for you to show our hearts. ”

Another Aunt Fang nodded and replied: "That's that, the eldest aunt has been busy these days, if you turn around, we will definitely take care of you in person, otherwise where will you go!" ”

The eldest aunt and grandmother put down the chopsticks when she heard this, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief without smiling: "Don't bother the two aunts and grandmothers, the two aunts and grandmothers are pregnant, so they shouldn't work too hard."

Although I am married, but now, our Chu family has no master mother, I, I will dislike people again, and take care of the house for my honest brother for a while, and wait for the two aunts and grandmothers to give birth, and this family will support a housewife, so that I can go home with peace of mind. Just ask the two aunts and grandmothers to take care of it. ”

Chu Wenxuan hurriedly said: "What is the eldest sister talking about, thanks to the hard work of the eldest sister these days, this is also your home, what kind of person is disliked?" Who dares to talk about the master, let me know, and buy him (her)! ”

Aunt Hui secretly hated in her heart, but she had to force a smile and pick up the cup and salute the eldest aunt and grandmother: "Auntie and grandma are not in a hurry to leave, I was still worried just now, our sisters are both pregnant, and the eldest aunt and grandmother really insist on leaving, and we don't know what way to keep you!" As he spoke, he secretly touched Aunt Fang next to him with his hand crutches.

Aunt Fang was gnawing on the chicken legs, and when she knocked them, the chicken legs suddenly slipped out of her hand and flew into the soup in the middle of the table, splashing all over the table.

Everyone hurriedly got up to dodge, and Aunt Fang apologized in her busy mouth, and took a rag in her hand to wipe it for the eldest aunt and grandmother, which caused the eldest aunt and grandmother to dislike it for a while.

Aunt Xu Shifang's stupid appearance was really funny, Chu Wenxuan and Aunt Hui couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere eased a lot for a while. Aunt Hui also put down her chopsticks and took a handkerchief to wipe Chu Wenxuan's clothes. The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively, and it had a bit of the taste of the New Year.

After eating, everyone began to observe the New Year. Brother Dong and Sister Ju stepped forward together to celebrate the New Year with Chu Wenxuan and the two aunts, and one of them got a few big red purses for the New Year's money, and went out to play happily.

Chu Qingruo excused himself that he had already passed the ceremony and no longer needed the elders to give him New Year's money, so he bowed and led the people of Jiexiang Yuan back to his courtyard. When they returned to the courtyard, everyone closed the courtyard door and became relaxed.

Han Linger took the lead in coaxing and said that she wanted the girl to lead everyone to play games, and everyone responded that they would have fun together regardless of the size of the year.

Chu Qingruo was helpless, put on a cloak and came to the courtyard to play with them. At Kangzi's suggestion, they made a lottery together, and everyone played grass fighting.

Fighting grass means that two people hold grass opposite each other. Each person holds one end of a grass or flower stem, and makes the grass and flower stems of both sides groove, and then pulls each other hard, whose grass and flower stems are broken, who is the loser.

Everyone plucked grass and flowers to compare, and in pairs of twos, they fought each other in a promoted way. Han Ling'er and Kang Zi both have kung fu under their hands, and the others are naturally no match for them, and they are defeated one after another.
