After the spring breeze, it is the time when the flowers are in full bloom.

The flowers and plants planted in the house have also grown one by one.

Meng Xilan watched the maids replace the felt curtains on the window sash with soft silk embroidered curtains, and then felt that spring had really come.

It was sunny outside, and Zhulu instructed the maids to take a bed quilt outside to dry, and Meng Xilan didn't want to sit in the house for a long time, and wanted to go around the yard.

She walked unhurriedly, and the bamboo dew followed closely beside her, and when she came to a plum tree, the flowers on the branches had failed, and only the bare branches remained.

Meng Xilan stood under the flower tree for a while.

Zhulu didn't know what was going on, but she felt that the master seemed to have something on her mind, and her back looked a little lonely and lonely.

Suddenly, Zhu Qing hurriedly came over to pass the word: "Sister Zhulu, someone from the concierge came to spread the word, saying that Master Chu is here." ”

The corners of Zhu Lu's mouth curled up when she heard this: "It's just in time." ”

The master is in a depressed mood at this time, and she will definitely be happy to see Master Chu.

"Master, Lord Chu has come to see you." Meng Xilan turned around, a slight light flashed in her eyes, and then she returned to this.

She was not surprised that he came, last time for the sake of leaving the palace, she knew that Chu Jingchuan was angry, see you today, I don't know if he is angry?

Chu Jingchuan stood outside the door waiting, dressed in civilian clothes, refreshing and refreshing, and didn't even bring a sword.

I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and the first time I saw each other, the eyes of both of them were a little complicated.

"Brother Shizukawa." Meng Xilan smiled at him first, as if nothing unpleasant had happened before.

Seeing this, Zhulu tugged at Zhuqing's sleeve and motioned for her to leave with her.

Zhu Qing hesitated a little, and lowered his voice: "Sister Zhulu, let's leave like this?" It's not suitable, and there's no one to serve the master......"

Zhulu pinched her face: "You girl, when will you be able to have some eyesight." The master and Master Chu haven't seen each other for so long, I don't know how much I have to say. Let's pestle there, it's a hindrance. ”

In the end, it is the person who is married, even if it is alone for a while. Zhu Lu looked at the two of them slightly, thinking, what a match for them, what a match made in heaven.

Chu Jingchuan watched Meng Xilan appear in front of him safely and soundly, and was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Are you okay?" As soon as he said this, he laughed to himself, only to think that he was a little stupid about this question.

Of course she's fine......

Meng Xilan looked at him: "My brother is wearing civilian clothes and has just come back from the palace?" Or from home? ”

Chu Jingchuan's eyes sank slightly when he heard this, "I am no longer an errand in the palace now." The war in the northwest is urgent, and the emperor ordered me to go with my father and brother to exterminate the rebellious people, and in three days, we will set off. ”

He was originally a royal guard from the fifth grade, but now he has been named a cloud cavalry captain from the fourth grade, and his father can go to the northwest together to glorify the Chu family.

Meng Xilan was shocked, she had been away from the palace for a long time, and the news was closed, so she didn't know that there was such a thing.

Her eyebrows twisted slightly, and she was speechless for a while.

Chu Jingchuan had something to say: "I came here today, not only to see you, but also to see the elders." Also, the newborn child, I treated him with a small courtesy. ”

Meng Xilan nodded hurriedly: "Well, my grandmother is in the Buddhist hall, my brother will go with me to see my father first." ”

At this moment, Meng Zhenglu had just used the medicine, and Feng Shi was standing by the bedside, talking to him softly.

"Junior, please say hello to Lord Meng and Mrs. Meng." After Chu Jingchuan entered the house, he respectfully saluted the elders.

Feng Shi smiled with a smile on his face: "It's almost a family, why are you still holding so many courtesies?" Sit down, sit down. ”

In the end, he is the future son-in-law of the Meng family, and she, who is the stepfamily, will never dare to slack off.

Meng Zhenglu sat on the head of the bed, looked at Chu Jingchuan and said, "Nephew, you can sit." ”

Chu Jingchuan sat down as he said, Meng Xilan stood beside him meekly, but who knows, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Lan'er, you go out first, I have something to say to Master Meng." ”

"Huh?" Meng Xilan was slightly surprised, but still nodded.

She didn't know what he was going to say, but there must be something important.

Feng Shi also left with a smile, she walked out of the door with Meng Xilan, and said with a smile: "Master Chu is so worried about you, when you enter the door in the future, he will definitely treat you well." ”

Meng Xilan just smiled lightly when she heard this. He has always treated her well, but she has not treated him well enough.

Feng asked Meng Xilan to drink tea with him, and said a lot of things.

Meng Xilan didn't listen very carefully, and when she heard the name of "Meng Xiyue", she was slightly interested and said, "Sister Yue'er, how are you doing?" Did Erniang ask someone to ask her to do her homework? ”

Feng Shi was prejudiced against Meng Xiyue, and said disapprerovitically: "What's the use of a concubine reading so many books? It's better to be a female celebrity honestly and practice your hands. ”

With her qualifications, even if she invited a teacher back, it would be just a joke.

Meng Xilan knew that Erniang would say this, so she took over lightly: "She is not young anymore, she is always bored at home, and she will inevitably feel wronged...... Erniang, if you have a chance, it's better to take her to the door, so that she can see the world. ”

Grievance? At first hearing these two words, Feng's face changed slightly, could it be that the girl sued in front of her again?

"Lan'er, you and Erniang, did that girl say something that doesn't bother you?"

Meng Xilan shook her head: "That's not true, it's just my own meaning." Erniang, the setting moon is not small, it's time to find her a home. ”

Feng Shi thought thoughtfully, and then said, "Okay, just do what you want." ”

Instead of letting her be idle at home, it is better to marry her off and save her worry.

After about half an hour, Chu Jingchuan came out of the main room and went with Meng Xilan to greet Mrs. Meng.

Coincidentally, Meng Xizhao and his wife Qiao Huiyun were also with Brother Yun, and everyone was sitting together, but it was very lively.

Brother Yun nestled softly in his mother's arms, looking at the room full of people with a pair of eyes, dripping and turning.

Xu Yes, seeing the adults talking and laughing, as if he felt that he had been left out, he suddenly grinned and cried.

Seeing this, Qiao Huiyun got up a little helplessly, she was not out of confinement yet, her physical strength was a little weak, and she would feel weak after holding the child for a long time.

Meng Xilan hurriedly stretched out her hand: "Sister-in-law, give it to me." As soon as Brother Yun arrived in her arms, he smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on her body, his crying gradually stopped, his eyes blinked, and his small mouth opened slightly and yawned.

Chu Jingchuan was talking to Meng Xizhao, and when she saw Meng Xilan standing aside, holding Brother Yun'er with a smile and love, her eyes sank, and there was a faint melancholy in her heart......

Mrs. Meng was very open-minded, and when she learned that Chu Jingchuan was about to leave Beijing, she asked Meng Xilan to send him off in person. In fact, it is so that two people can have the opportunity to say a few more words.

"I'm bothered today, and I've been sitting for most of the day." Out of the Gongyue Gate, Chu Jingchuan suddenly became polite.

"Brother Jingchuan......" Meng Xilan looked at him and asked, "Is my brother still angry with me?" ”

Last time, she insisted on leaving the palace and turned a blind eye to his worries, he must have been sad. It's just that it's too hypocritical, she really can't say it......

"No, you have your plans, I shouldn't stop you rashly." Thinking back carefully about the scene of that day, Chu Jingchuan also felt that he was a little abrupt.

He always said to put her at ease, but he always said that he couldn't do it.

"Brother's trip...... When will I be back? Meng Xilan asked about his return date, secretly worried.

Fighting on the march is the most dangerous, and everyone risks losing their lives wherever they go.

Chu Jingchuan said lightly: "There are as short as a few months, or as long as half a year." ”

Meng Xilan was stunned and looked up at him: "Why did it take so long......

The two looked at each other, Chu Jingchuan's eyes rippled, looked at the bottomless eyes in front of him, and asked softly: "After I leave, will you miss me?" She never showed her heart to him, Xu was reserved by her daughter's family, and Xu Yes, he was not important to her at all.

Meng Xilan hesitated for a moment, then smiled silently and nodded. Of course, she will think about him, and hope that he will be safe and have a smooth journey.

When Chu Jingchuan heard this, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he still looked at her steadily, his eyes seemed to be helpless and melancholy.

After all, she refused to say a word of affection to him, even if he wanted to leave her......

"Brother must come back safely, take care of your life." Meng Xilan was inexplicably weak by his gaze, and hurriedly looked away.

As soon as she turned her face away, Chu Jingchuan suddenly reached out and pulled her chin, still looking directly into her eyes.

Meng Xilan's eyes were shocked, and she watched his face slowly come over, and couldn't help clenching her palms. It was the first time they had been so close, so close that they could even see each other's eyelashes.

"Brother Jingchuan...... "This time, she didn't hide or dodge, just looked at Chu Jingchuan. He wasn't such an abrupt person, what the hell is wrong now?

"Do you know what I just said to my uncle?" Chu Jingchuan opened his hand lightly and only stood face to face with her.

Meng Xilan shook her head, her face flushed with an imperceptible flush.

"I beg my uncle, if I can return triumphantly this time, let me marry you at once."

Their marriage can't be delayed any longer, no matter what, he has to marry her back as soon as possible, so as not to make any waves in the harem.

Meng Xilan chuckled in her heart, the expression on her face became slightly unnatural, she hurriedly looked down at her toes, bit her lip and said, "Why?" Why is it so urgent? ”

Chu Jingchuan looked at her, and doubts flashed in her eyes, and her heart hurt again for no reason.

Is she really unwilling?

Chu Jingchuan frowned slightly, suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and quietly told the truth: "Because I'm afraid that I will lose you." ”
