There are still ten days left before marriage, and the weather is in mid-January. The plum blossoms did not wither, and the spring did not draw branches. The weather is still very cold, but the New Year's weather has passed a lot.

A line of carriages and horses appeared in front of the door of the small courtyard, and Chu Huaixian appeared again since the last time he came. This time, it was to pick up Xiao Chu to recognize his new relatives.

Chu Gongzi rode a horse, and the carriage stopped behind him. He waited at the door but didn't go in, and Jinxi'er dismounted and shouted to open the door: "Please come out, Miss Xiaochu." ”

After a while, Xia Lu came out with the little girl Chunshui, and as soon as Xiao Chu, who was wearing an apricot-colored embroidered peony brocade jacket, came out, Chu Huaixian frowned again, Xiao Chu still had the same pointed chin compared to last time.

"Give her five or six times a day, and she'll be much fatter when the weather is warmer." Seeing Xia Lu hurriedly reply, Chu Huaixian still frowned, and didn't speak until Xiao Chu got in the car.

Xiao Chu, who got into the carriage, didn't dare to look at Chu Huaixian's unhappy face. In fact, from this incident, in Xiao Chu's heart, he has always felt guilty and apologetic.

Speaking of which, Xiao Chu is for himself, and Chu Huaixian is also for himself. changed to a scheming ancient, and it was not a loss to be fooled. After thinking about it repeatedly these days, Xiao Chu thought that in the end, he just blindly felt guilty about Chu Huaixian. At this time, his eyes were aimed at Chu Huaixian's calm face, and Xiao Chu didn't look at him.

The new relatives I went to recognize today are in the western suburbs, and they are the third brother of Mrs. Chu San's maiden family, Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang. Mrs. Chu San has a lot of family members, some of whom are officials, but they have never had a high official position; There are also those who are engaged in business and those who farm, and they are considered a big family.

In the cold weather, the fragrance of wild plums occasionally wafts on the side of the road, and the summer green and spring water accompany Xiao Chu in the car, pointing to the scenery on the road from time to time to show Xiao Chu to relieve her boredom.

Chu Huaixian, who was playing next to the carriage, felt relieved when he heard it, and gave Xia Lu to Xiao Chu to make her happy; And Xiao Chu can only smile from time to time under Xia Lu's hospitality.

Sometimes when I saw Chu Huaixian's figure outside the car, Xiao Chuchu was bumped into it inexplicably...... If you don't leave, if you say it again to your son.......

Of course, it's too late to say this now, things are back to that time, I'm afraid that Lin Xiaochu will still have to leave. These days, people are thinking a little confused. When he was sober, he could understand that he was married now, and Chu Huaixian had a reputation of being stunned by love, but he was somewhat relieved of suspicion; When he was confused, he only hated himself at that time, why did he believe Zheng Yi, and he didn't choose to talk to Gongzi again.

In addition to understanding and being confused, there are many contradictions in Xiaochu's heart. Xia Lu came to her side, and from then on, she took care of every drink and food. Every time she saw Xia Lu taking care of her diligently, Xiao Chuchu was unspeakably bitter, because she understood that this was Chu Huaixian's care. In such a mood, when he saw Chu Huaixian, whether he was smiling or black-faced, Xiao Chu felt that it was just as difficult to face.

She fingers stirred a silk handkerchief, and she was stunned by the occasional green visible under the snow outside the window, until the carriage stopped.

"There is Lao's father-in-law and mother-in-law coming out to greet him," Chu Huaixian's voice outside the carriage woke Xiao Chu up, and then there were two overjoyed voices: "The son is here." "These are two unfamiliar voices.

Xia Lu told Xiao Chu in a low voice: "This is Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang. He said that he smiled: "It's the master of the in-laws and the eldest lady of the in-laws." ”

The carriage door opened, and Wu Sanniang stood happily in front of the door to greet her, and her mouth was very affectionate: "My son, I will help you get out of the car for my mother." ”

Xiao Chu, who has been lazy since the accident, raised his face with a smile. Wu Sanniang outside the car door is a middle-aged woman of medium height, with brand-new clothes and ornaments, and even a pile of yarn flowers on the edge of her hair is also brand-new, which shows that the Wu family attaches great importance to this new family.

Wu Sanniang looked at Xiao Chu, with an unusually snow-white face. This whiteness is shocking at a glance, Wu Sanniang knows in her heart, she has made such a big thing, and the Chu family will not treat her well. Confessing her relatives is the Chu family who put gold on their faces.

Since Mrs. Chu San came home and said it, Wu Sanguan and Mrs. Wu San had discussed it many times at home. The newly recognized relatives will not have a good life in the Chu family in the future. They are willing to admit this family business, and it is completely against the Chu family.

At this time, I saw this snow-white and frighteningly white face, thin and pointed chin, and although there was no pain in my eyes, there was no end to the confusion. Wu Sanniang sighed in her heart, a family like the Chu family was forced to marry this family, and her heart would not be happy. If you think about it like this, I don't know how long this girl will live if she marries. In the noble mansion of the high gate, the means of torturing people to death can be imagined. Thinking about it this way, the idea of discussing with the three officials should be made by her to hurry up.

The mother and daughter met for the first time in front of the car door, and Wu Sanniang's face remained happy, and she helped Xiao Chu get out of the car with her own hands. Chu Huaixian ordered Xiao Chu with a smile on his face: "I have seen your parents." Xiao Chu saluted according to his words. Wu Sanniang still took a look, and Wu Sanguan Xiao Chu didn't look up when he got out of the car, but only saluted the lower corner of his purple robe and shouted: "Father, mother." ”

"Get up, it's cold outside, come in and talk again." Wu Sanguan's voice was rich, and he sounded happy. Xiao Chu lowered his head, knowing that this liking was not for himself, but for recognizing Gongzi, a fast son-in-law who rode the dragon.

Wu Sanguan accompanied Chu Huaixian in front, and he was extremely in awe of Chu Huaixian's words. Wu Sanniang walked behind with Xiao Chu's hand, and she was laughing and laughing like a pearl of jade.

"I cleaned up the house for you, I have seen it myself, and your sisters have come to see it again. By the way, you have three younger sisters, namely Xiufang, who is the same year as you, Yufang, who is one year younger than you, and Zhufang, who is two years younger than you. When Wu Sanniang said this, Xiao Chu, who bowed his head, suddenly had a hint of a smile.

One is the same year, one year younger, two years younger, this "mother" can really give birth, actually one a year? Could it be that it was born by my aunt, Xiao Chu thought of this, and then thought about Chu Huaixian, and his mood was gloomy. In a flash, Xiao Chu sighed in his heart, everything was for the sake of his son. If you owe him back to him, it doesn't matter what happens to him in the future. Besides, the son didn't have this mind for a while, and just an old lady Chu who was in a hurry to hold her grandson would not stand idly by.

In the past, women walked, but fortunately, they mostly hung their heads. Xiao Chu held his hand in Wu Sanniang's hand, and when he walked to the room, he was already able to disguise his smile again, and from time to time he raised his face and smiled.

In the room I came to was the main hall of the Wu family, with two Eight Immortal chairs in the center. Wu Sanguan was still asking Chu Huaixian: "Son, please sit down." Chu Huaixian smiled freely: "Please sit down with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and let Xiaochu and your son-in-law salute." ”

Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang were full of red light together, and the two of them instinctively wanted to be humble, and then thought about the reason that there was no humility. Chu Huaixian bowed down with a smile and said again: "Please sit down with your parents-in-law." ”

Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang, who were wearing brand new clothes and looked like clothes racks today, sat down with a smile on their faces. Even when they sit down, they are not as casual as usual, but their waists are straight, so that people can handle them just by looking at them.

Xiao Chu Yingying bowed: "See father, mother," Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang bowed together and stretched out their hands: "Daughter, please get up," Xiao Chu got up, and then saw the appearance of Wu Sanguan, the middle-aged white face was slightly fat and bearded, and it looked like a smiling Buddha. Then Chu Huaixian came to salute: "The son-in-law visits his father-in-law and mother-in-law." Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang even owed their bodies to help each other, and they could only say: "Please get up, please get up," and I hate to owe my body to the ground.

Xia Lu was amused to watch, and finally couldn't hold back a laugh.

Waiting for Chu Huaixian and Xiao Chu to sit down, Wu Sanniang said carefully: "How about letting my sisters come to worship my sister, and by the way, I will also recognize my brother-in-law." When she said this, she mainly asked Chu Huaixian. Chu Huaixian politely refused and said: "Xiao Chu wants to disturb here for a few days, ask her mother-in-law to take her to recognize her sisters." ”

"What to bother, what a family to say." Wu Sanniang laughed, and said to Xiao Chu: "The eldest girl comes with me, your sisters must be in a hurry." ”

Xiao Chu and Wu Sanniang went behind, Chu Huaixian and Wu Sanguan talked in front, and Wu Sanguan also asked politely: "I heard that Gongzi is good at studying, last year's middle school, Chunqiu will be next month, and he will definitely be in high school." Chu Huaixian listened patiently, and he said it first: "On the day of marriage, my father-in-law already knows that I have already done the dowry, and I will send it over in a few days." My parents were the parents-in-law who met yesterday, and we sent them all when they were used, and I think my father and mother also told my parents-in-law. ”

For Chu Huaixian to mention family affairs so directly, Wu Sanguan was a little surprised. He was finally able to sit and talk to such a noble son, he just wanted to talk more gossip, and he didn't want Chu Huaixian to be unwilling to talk nonsense, so he mentioned family affairs as soon as he opened his mouth. Wu Sanguan stroked the beard under his chin and smiled: "Since it is our daughter, of course the dowry is ours." Although we are not as good as the son's family, we can still afford the dowry for marrying our daughter. ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, this family affair is in a hurry, because this dowry is prepared by my family and sent it." Chu Huaixian was not polite, but sincerely unwilling to ask the Wu family for a dowry. I don't know if the family business I hurriedly admitted is good or not, it was all for Mrs. Chu San, and Chu Huaixian agreed.

Wu Sanguan and Wu Sanniang felt that Lin Xiaochu couldn't wait to find an identity, as the eldest prince of Chu, he was still picky.

Wu Sanguan pretended to be angry: "What do you say?" I tell you the truth, there are three dowries in the family, three little daughters, ah, none of your three sisters are engaged. I said to the third lady that I would give her a share of the dowry that the eldest girl likes. ”

Chu Huaixian listened to the meaning of his words very sincerely, and his favor for Wu Sanguan increased a lot. After entering the door and entering the door, Chu Huaixian treated him politely, but in fact, he didn't really treat Wu Sanguan as his father-in-law in his heart.

This is the natural temperament of the eldest prince of Chu.
