As the New Year approaches, the first snow falls.
The capital city seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost, and even the flowers and grass were covered with a light frost.
Lu Chaochao is ten months old.
At ten months old, Lu Chaochao has already grown, and he has actually grown up thanks to the advantages of Xu and Lu Yuanze.
The little baby has a chubby face and a pair of clear eyes that are round and as bright as stars, with a trace of ignorance. The cheeks are swollen like little buns, and people can't help but pinch them when they see them.
At the moment, he is wearing a red coat, with two small hairpins on his head and a string of fur balls.
He walks staggeringly and can even walk a few steps without the help of a maid.
"Our girl is just like a New Year painting doll, so pretty."
Dengzhi couldn't help but admire.
She helped her wife raise three young men, but none of them were as good-looking as Chao Chao.
"Miss Chaochao speaks and walks earlier than her three brothers." Yingxue couldn't help but nodded.
"Can I give you a hug, please?" Dengzhi saw light snow falling outside the house. Even though the maid had swept away the snow early, the ground was still a bit white.
Easily slippery.
Lu Chaochao was very excited.
"Send some...and let's go." Xiao Chaochao spoke in a baby voice, with two pieces of chestnut cake in his pocket.
She is about to be one year old now and can already eat some soft complementary foods, such as roasted sweet potatoes, roasted chestnuts, rice flour, rice cereal, and various kinds of meat paste.
She especially loves roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet smell after roasting is extremely delicious.
Seeing that she had an idea, Dengzhi held hands with Yingxue and led her to the main courtyard.
Stepping on the thin layer of fresh snow, Lu Chaochao chuckled.
One small footprint at a time.
Mini little footprints look particularly cute.
She laughed all the way. When passing the flower garden, the little girl frowned beautifully, threw away the maid, and squatted in front of a blooming flower, her little face almost touching the flower.
"What's wrong, little miss?" As soon as Yingxue opened her mouth, Xiao Chaochao stretched out her index finger and shushed.
"Cry, cry… cry, cry…" The little finger pointed at an orchid.
Dengzhi couldn't help but smile. The child was really naive, thinking that the flowers, plants and trees could talk.
"Okay, listen to the young lady. I'll let the servants move the orchids into the greenhouse later." He then coaxed Lu Chaochao to move forward.
Lu Chaochao was young and couldn't walk. After a while, Denzhi picked her up.
While walking quickly to the front yard.
Lu Chaochao heard a faint sob.
Sounds weak and innocent.
Lu Chaochao blinked his eyes, turned the corner, and saw a young man wearing a moon-white gown kneeling straight outside the door.
There was also an exquisite girl in white standing under the eaves.
The girl was covering her face and sobbing softly.
Xu's furious voice came from inside the room: "Your book has gone into the dog's stomach! You are engaged, why are you bringing a girl back?"
"You are slapping your fiancée in the face!" Mrs. Xu's face turned red with anger.
Originally, she doubted Chao Chao's intentions. After all, the second son already had a fiancée and he was never such a naughty person.
But at this moment…
Seeing him kneeling outside the door, insisting on bringing the woman in, she was so angry that her head felt dizzy.
Lu Zhengyue glanced at his mother worriedly, but when his eyes fell on Su Zhiqing at the door, he strengthened his belief.
Ms. Su's face turned pale and she stood outside the door shivering from the cold, as if a dodder flower was clinging to him.
"Mother, my son has no feelings for Wen Ning, and the engagement is not what he wants."
"My son just wants to marry a person who is in love with him and live a life of love like his father and mother. Not a stranger who respects each other as a guest."
Xu was so angry that her eyes felt dizzy.
The marriage between Yanshu and Jiang Yunjin was initiated by the old Marquis himself, so that was all. The Ke Wen family lived next door to the Lu family.
That little girl from the Wen family followed Lu Zhengyue all day long. The two were childhood sweethearts.
Later, the Wen family was released, and only three years after leaving Beijing, Lu Zhengyue became a monster.
"I only regard Wen Ning as my sister. You can kill your son. He cannot marry Wen Ning."
Lu Zhengyue sighed quietly. He was about six years old when he got engaged to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning was indeed cute back then, but at that time he didn't understand the relationship between men and women. Thinking about it now, he regarded Wen Ning as his sister.
"Mother, Qingqing, Qingqing can't marry anyone else."
Lu Zhengyue looked a little embarrassed: "While my son was studying, he encountered danger and fell from the cliff. It was Qingqing who carried his son back and saved him."
"Qingqing's parents died when she was young, and she died young. She raised her son, and her reputation has been ruined."
"Mother, my son can't be that treacherous person." Lu Zhengyue naturally developed a good impression of Su Zhiqing after spending several months together.
Ms. Su is gentle and considerate. She lives in the mountains all year round and is extremely simple.
Xu's eyes were about to burst into flames.
Although Lu Zhengyue went out to study, the two boys he brought with him were both good at boxing and kicking.
Everywhere I go, I also send letters home.
After falling off the cliff, the boy could not find any trace.
We searched for three days in a row, searching every village in the surrounding area. The village where Su Zhiqing is located has obviously been searched.
Unless someone hides him deliberately.
"Mom, my son has been in a coma for three days. After waking up, he has been recuperating at Qingqing's house. Perhaps, when we came to search, Qingqing went up the mountain to collect medicine. Qingqing's family is poor and extremely hard, and it is her son who has increased her burden." Lu Zhengyue sighed.
At that time, he had a high fever and was alternately hot and cold.
He had been feeling dizzy with fever all day. When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl in front of him, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she hugged him with tears in her eyes.
His whole body was startled as their skin touched each other.
But the girl shed tears.
Lu Zhengyue took a deep breath. He had ruined Qingqing's reputation and would definitely marry her.
"Qingqing saved his son because of his kindness."
"If she doesn't save her, the servant will find you." Mrs. Xu sneered.
Lu Zhengyue felt a knot in his heart.
"You are dressed in noble clothes. Even the jade pendant hanging on your waist is worth a thousand taels, and your clothes are even more impressive. How do you know that she is not interested in your money? She deliberately hid you." Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sneer.
But the girl at the door was filled with shame and anger. She cried and said, "Why do you want to insult me, madam?"
"Although Qingqing was born into poverty, he is still a man of character. If Zhengyue hadn't begged me, Qingqing would not have wanted to go to Beijing."
"Qingqing has no intention of getting married in her life. The worst thing she can do is twist her hair and become a sister-in-law, and she will be a Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life." Su Zhiqing had tears in her eyes and looked determined.
"Meeting Brother Yue is already the greatest luck in Qingqing's life. Qingqing does not dare to ask for marriage to Brother Yue. I only hope that Brother Yue will be happy in this life." Su Zhiqing finished speaking with tears in her eyes and walked out crying.
Lu Zhengyue's eyes suddenly turned red.
When Mrs. Xu saw this scene, she really had a splitting headache.
"Can't go!"
"Mother, if Qingqing leaves, my son will go with her." Lu Zhengyue's eyes were red and he held Su Zhiqing's wrist tightly.
Feeling Qingqing's trembling, he felt even more distressed.
Clenched his teeth, stood up slightly, and showed his determination to hit the pillar.
I heard a childish voice [hit the wall, hit the wall, hit the wall, hit the wall...]
[Bump, hurry up, hit your love head, watch your love head hit the wall...]
The voice was full of schadenfreude.
Lu Zhengyue, who was about to hit the wall, silently bent his knees and continued to kneel with his head hanging down.
