Lu Xingping had always wanted to practice on the battlefield, but his family was afraid that something would happen to him, so they didn't agree.
He had nothing to do, so he led the two little ones to play around every day, such as catching koi carps in the pond and roasting them, going up trees to dig out bird eggs, releasing the birds raised by his father, or cleaning the seeds of his sister-in-law and Dr. Zhang. Herbs at home.
Once, they even made a bouncing doll. After Yun Cuihe was frightened, she chased her uncle and nephew three times around the huge Lu Mansion.
At that scene, even the silly dog at home was startled. He yelled and ran after the four of them, although Lu Xingping didn't understand why the dog was following them.
Lu Xinghe had no choice but to worry that his two young nephews would be led astray by following Lu Xingping's nonsense. After weighing the situation, he could only agree to Lu Xingping's expedition with the army.
So, sixteen-year-old Lu Xingping went to northern Xinjiang with the army.
Two days before leaving, Lu Xingping passed by Baibaozhai. He went in specially to buy a safety lock and gave it to Xiaozhu when he went home.
He didn't understand why he bought this thing for her, but when he saw it, he suddenly felt that it suited her very well, so he subconsciously bought it.
The little girl was already thirteen years old at that time, and she was tall and graceful. Her facial features were similar to Chu Yue's, delicate and agile.
Every time he saw her, Lu Xingping felt that his mood would become brighter.
At that time, she accepted the safety lock, happily wore it around her neck in front of Lu Xingping, and gave him the safety charm she had asked for from the temple in return.
She learned that Lu Xingping was going to Northern Xinjiang and asked for the Peace Talisman from the temple.
Lu Xingping was very happy when he received the peace talisman. He even said with a smile, "I give you the safety lock, and you give me the peace talisman in return. It's even."
Chu Wenzhu replied, "How can my safety talisman be as valuable as my second brother's safety lock? It's just a wish, but we are a family, so we don't need to be so clear about it. In short, my second brother needs to be careful when he goes to Northern Xinjiang. We I will wait at home for my second brother to return safely."
After that, Lu Xingping left.
For four years, I went through a lot of hardships, suffered a lot of injuries, and lost a lot of blood.
He deeply realized that fighting a war is not just about talking.
In the past four years, Chu Wenzhu had given him the Peace Talisman and he had carried it with him every day. Maybe it was the Peace Talisman that gave him the power, right?
Whenever there are dangers, there will eventually be a turning point.
Even Wu Yong said that he has become much more stable and mature in the past four years than when he came here.
Every time at this time, Lu Xingping would always reply to him with a smile, "That's right, after all, you are three years older, so it is always different."
As the days away from home grew longer, Lu Xingping not only missed his family, but also missed the little girl who gave him the amulet.
The thought scratches my heart and lungs.
He thought he was crazy.
After all, Xiaozhu is his sister.
Finally, Lu Xingping captured the King of Northern Xinjiang alive, and Nanyuan achieved a historic victory.
The emperor ordered Lu Xingping and Wu Yong to escort the King of Northern Xinjiang back to Beijing, and at the same time, lead the meritorious men in the Northern Xinjiang War back to Beijing to receive their titles.
Lu Xingping was excited when he learned that he was going back to Beijing and would be able to see the little girl soon.
In the past, when he was at home, he would give Chu Wenzhu some knickknacks from time to time. After such a long separation this time, two days before leaving, he even collected a whole cart full of specialties from Northern Xinjiang.
After all, in addition to the little girl, there are also three boys and a daughter of the eldest brother in the family.
He has never met the two nieces and nephews below.
But what he didn't expect was that after returning to the capital, he learned that Chu Wenzhu was betrothed to Gu Qianyu.
A few months ago, when Chu Wenzhu was helping Chu Yue take care of the shop, he encountered bandits attacking the convoy. The people present ran to death. Gu Qianyu happened to pass by and pulled Chu Wenzhu, who had fainted, away from the bandits. Saved by hand.
Although the two of them knew each other's existence, they had rarely communicated with each other before. Chu Wenzhu only met Gu Qianyu a few times when he followed Chu Yue to a banquet.
But that time when he was rescued by Qian Yu, Chu Wenzhu was unconscious. The place where the two of them were at that time was sparsely populated, so they found a farmhouse to stay overnight.
The owner of the farmhouse thought that they were a couple, and since the house at home was not enough, he arranged for the two to live in one house.
When Qian Yu saw Chu Wenzhu unconscious, he didn't say much.
After all, no one would know what happened after leaving here, and it would be convenient for him to take care of her in the same room.
In this way, Chu Wenzhu slept on the bed, and Gu Qianyu made do with two chairs in the room for a few days. They didn't leave until Chu Wenzhu was able to move.
At that time, Chu Wenzhu was sixteen and Qian Yu was twenty-one.
Chu Wenzhu has often helped Chu Yue take care of the shop in recent years. He has much more experience than Miss Qianjin in the capital. Although he and Qianyu are five years apart, they talk well.
The two of them can always talk together.
Therefore, after this back and forth, the two of them fell in love with each other.
Qianyu was afraid that the difference in his treatment of her was because of Chu Yue, so after returning to the capital, he deliberately kept a distance from her.
Until a palace banquet, Chu Wenzhu was pushed into the water.
He could no longer restrain himself and immediately jumped into the water to fish her out of the water.
Gu Jinghe and Qin Feilan, who were still in office at the time, could see Qianyu's nervousness towards Chu Wenzhu at a glance.
He used to be cold-tempered, and except for Chu Yue who saved his life, he rarely got close to other women.
Now, Chu Wenzhu became an accident.
So, as soon as the two of them came together, they summoned them to talk. After confirming that they had a good impression of each other, Gu Jinghe directly granted the marriage to the two of them with an imperial edict.
Over the years, he has been worrying about Qianyu's lifelong affairs. Now he is twenty-two years old. Not to mention concubines, he does not even have a maid with his wife. There were rumors that His Highness was a womanizer, but he himself never explained it. One sentence.
He once thought that Qian Yu was really as bad at womanizing as rumored.
It was not easy for him to find a woman who could fall in his eyes. Worried that he would lose her because of his cold temper, Gu Jinghe naturally agreed to marry her early and tied them together.
…
Lu Xingping didn't know what was wrong with him. When he heard the news, he couldn't be happy at all. Even the joy of being made a general couldn't dilute the sadness deep in his heart.
He locked himself in the courtyard and quietly sorted out his thoughts and emotions.
He obviously only has a brother-sister relationship with the little girl.
But why did she feel so uncomfortable when she heard that she and Qian Yu were getting married?
Does he like her?
As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, even Lu Xingping himself was shocked, and he hurriedly slapped himself.
"What are you thinking about? She is my sister?"
"But my sister is not related by blood after all, so it's not like I can't like her..." Lu Xingping held his head in pain, his eyes turning red, "But now she has been betrothed to someone else, and His Majesty still granted her the marriage. From now on, she can only She can be my sister."
