"That one just now."
"Oh, Ruoyan! She is timid and shy. I brought you back today just on the spur of the moment. I didn't have time to tell her... I guess she was frightened after seeing you."
When Chu Ze noticed Qian Ying running away just now, he pointed blankly in the direction where the other party left just now.
After Lan Yu saw Chu Ze's somewhat dull expression, he didn't notice the curiosity in Chu Ze's eyes at all.
Still just explained casually.
However, his explanation made Chu Ze feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his heart.
It had been a month since the engagement, but so far, this was the first time he had seen his future wife in full view.
The key is, before I could see clearly just now, the person turned around and ran away.
This made Chu Ze, who had always been endlessly curious about his future wife, develop a strange obsession.
"Well, uncle, you see, Ruoyan and I have been engaged for such a long time and I haven't even seen her once. You see, how about"
"Um, haven't you guys met yet?"
"."
When she heard Chu Ze mention that he and Lan Ruoyan had never met before, Lan Yu's first reaction was surprise.
Then, he frowned and thought deeply.
However, after some thinking, he showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I'll go! I really didn't pay attention to this! Although you have come to my house a lot, every time you come, Ruoyan avoids you. It seems like you have never met."
Seeing that Lan Yu's expression didn't seem to be a pretense of hindsight, the corners of Chu Ze's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
He originally thought that Lan Yu had noticed this from beginning to end.
It was just that there were some rules that prevented the two engaged people from meeting each other, so Lan Yu did not arrange for him to meet his future wife.
After doing this for a long time, he didn't even care about it!
"Uncle, I have some doubts now. Are you really considering me as your son-in-law?"
"Hey, what you said, uncle really treats you! You also know about you and Ruoyan. This is also the first time for uncle to be the father-in-law. It's the first time for a eldest girl to get on the sedan chair. How could I know? Think about this!"
"Besides, you clearly know that my uncle is not as smart as you, and he doesn't think about things as thoroughly as you do. Don't you know how to mention it yourself?"
Being stared at by Chu Ze's somewhat complaining eyes, Lan Yu also seemed a little unnatural.
He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then reached out to pat Chu Ze again.
However, looking at his palm-like palm, Chu Ze, who had just experienced a momentary journey through the gates of hell, dared to let him slap him.
He quickly walked forward a few times, not forgetting to mutter as he walked.
"Uncle, let's eat first! After a busy day, I'm a little hungry."
Looking at Chu Ze who quickly dodged away, Lan Yu's palm was raised in the air, slightly unable to place it.
"Yes, eat, eat!"
"Next time if you think of something, remember to remind you, Uncle Lan, that we are father-in-law for the first time, and we really don't know a lot of things."
"Uncle, what a coincidence, this is my first time as a son-in-law."
Nowadays, Chu Ze can be regarded as a frequent visitor to Lan Yu's house. Lan Yu will bring him back for dinner every three days.
And every time Chu Ze comes, although Lan Yu talks about some commonplace dishes, there are all kinds of delicacies on the table, and there is never any repetition.
It’s not about being full, but about eating well.
However, after eating today's meal, Chu Ze was always absent-minded.
From time to time, he would raise his head and look around.
And after Lan Yu was pointed out certain things by Chu Ze, he naturally knew what Chu Ze was looking at.
After finishing the meal, Lan Yu looked at Chu Ze with a smile the whole time.
The aunt's smile on her face made Chu Ze feel embarrassed.
After eating, Lan Yu pulled Chu Ze and ran towards his backyard.
"Ruoyan?"
"Where else can I be? I'm hiding in the boudoir and can't come out."
"This girl Chu Ze, please wait a moment. I will go and catch this little girl for you."
"Uh, uncle, it's not like we're going to do it. It's really not going to happen to us. Otherwise, let's forget it."
"What nonsense are you talking about! You're already here, just wait here!"
Seeing Lan Yu's fiery departure, Chu Ze, who was originally full of curiosity, felt at a loss for a moment.
Now... I'm about to meet my future wife, so why am I a little scared!
While Chu Ze stood there waiting with some uneasiness, Lan Yu's voice rang again.
"You girl, what's the use of just hiding and peeking? Everything will be fine once we meet officially! Come with dad quickly, Chu Ze is such a young man. You know how to hide all day long."
"Dad, I told you, you are not allowed to run away for a while, do you hear me?"
"Dad, I...I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of? Can people eat you?"
After hearing the sound from around the corner, Chu Ze's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
I don't know what kind of psychology he had, but his feet and legs were twitching inexplicably at this time.
And the breathing and heartbeat speeded up involuntarily.
If his remaining sense hadn't told him that he should calm down at this time, he might not have been able to help but turn around and run away.
That's right, escape.
Before meeting her, he had infinite curiosity in his heart, and he always used the title of wife instead of her.
But when it came time to face it, Chu Ze found that he seemed a little timid.
This is my wife
"Chu Ze. Uncle Ren brought it to you. If you young people are chatting, I won't disturb you. So what... I'll leave first. Ruoyan, you can't run away!"
"Dad, I..."
"Uncle..."
When Lan Yuti came to Chu Ze with a petite figure, he put him down without giving Chu Ze a chance to speak, and told him not to escape.
As soon as he turned his head, the person immediately disappeared.
On Chu Ze's side, he looked at the petite and cute figure in front of him.
His whole body turned to stone immediately.
The air seemed to have completely solidified at this moment.
"Um, are you Ruoyan?"
"I am"
She is only 1.3 meters tall. Although she is a girl and her growth rate is faster, the childish look on her face is still there.
Although his head was always lowered due to shyness, you could tell just by looking at his body shape that he was still a child!
At this time, Chu Ze finally remembered something.
Zhu Chun is the king of Shu, and he is the eleventh child of Zhu Yuanzhang.
He is a little older than Zhu Bai, and is only about ten years old now.
According to visual inspection, Lan Yu's daughter is older than Zhu Chun, that is, she is at most twelve or thirteen years old.
'Damn it! I should have thought of this earlier! This. How does this make me deal with myself?'
If there was a regret medicine in the world, Chu Ze would have to do at least three big bowls at this time!
No... just drown in it.
Looking at Lan Ruoyan standing in front of him, not even reaching his chest, Chu Ze really wanted to die.
Is this my fiancée?
Good guy, you develop through play, right?
Even though the ancients got married relatively early, Chu Ze was not an ancient at heart!
this.
"Um, hello, first time we meet."
When Chu Ze no longer knew what to say, Lan Ruoyan, who was standing opposite him, seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
His head was still lowered, and then he said hello to Chu Ze in a weak voice like a mosquito.
And when speaking, he did not forget to bow slightly to Chu Ze.
This is not a greeting, this is clearly a New Year greeting to the elders.
"My name is Chu Ze. Hello, sister Ruoyan."
Chu Ze, who usually spoke eloquently, found out awkwardly that he didn't know how to speak when he was facing a little girl.
"Hello there!"
"Haha, you too..."
"good"
"."
If there were no shoe soles under his feet at this moment, Chu Ze felt that he could at least dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes on the floor.
What is embarrassment?
This is so fucking embarrassing!
In this round of greetings, the two figures, one big and one small, were completely speechless.
Perhaps at this moment, for Chu Ze and Lan Ruoyan, silence is the most comfortable way to get along with each other.
It's just that they are at ease. Lan Yu, who is hiding behind the landscape tree on the side, is scratching his head and head anxiously at this time.
Looking at the two people standing motionless like statues, Lan Yu really wanted to rush up and grab them together.
Then he was pushed out of the house.
"What are these two little guys doing? What's the use of standing around just talking!"
"Hurry up and chat more, get familiar with each other, and then find an auspicious day and get things done directly."
"Oh, I'm so worried!"
Chu Ze and Lan Ruoyan were so embarrassed at this time that they didn't know how to speak, or even where to start.
Lan Yu, who was hiding in the dark and watching everything secretly, was so anxious that she almost jumped.
After this weird atmosphere lasted for several minutes, Chu Ze also knew that it would not be a problem to just stand like this.
So, under Lan Yu's eager gaze, he finally took the initiative to speak again.
"Well, why don't we go sit over there? Just standing like this, the sun is too big."
"Um."
After hearing Chu Ze speak, Lan Ruoyan nodded silently like a silly little penguin.
After a weak nasal sound that Chu Ze could hardly hear, Chu Ze turned around and wanted to walk under the pavilion on the side.
But as soon as he turned around, he remembered that he seemed to be polite and let the other person go first.
So he quickly turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Lan Ruoyan.
However, his sudden turn back startled Lan Ruoyan, who was about to lift her foot to follow him.
She raised her head in confusion and glanced at Chu Ze with a pair of bright and penetrating eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Lan Ruoyan immediately lowered her head in fear.
At this moment, the atmosphere that had just been slightly lively suddenly became awkward again.
Lan Yu, who was hiding in the dark at this time, really wanted to hit her head against a tree and die.
"No, no, I can't stand it anymore. Let these young people handle it on their own. I can't stand it anymore."
Lan Yu was really anxious at this time.
He originally thought that Chu Ze, who was usually so eloquent, would be able to take the initiative to chat with his daughter at this time.
It took a long time to do it, and that’s it?
It's simply shameful to look at.
Shameful.
After Lan Yu left, Chu Ze looked at Lan Ruoyan who was standing there blankly again. He simply didn't care about etiquette.
Leading the way directly to the pavilion on the side.
And after he moved, Lan Ruoyan followed him like a little tail.
After the young and old came to sit down in the pavilion, Chu Ze gradually regained his breath.
But looking at Lan Ruoyan sitting opposite, he really didn't know what to do for a moment.
This... is too much
"Um... I'm sorry, I made you a little embarrassed today because of my curiosity. I didn't expect you... to be so young."
After another period of silence, Chu Ze finally spoke first.
But after hearing Chu Ze's words, Lan Ruoyan's head drooped even more.
"You don't need to apologize. It was my fault. Since we are already engaged, I shouldn't have avoided you. I just don't know what to do. I don't hate you, really. "
"Haha... Well, I'm sorry. Our engagement is actually a political marriage, and I didn't realize it until later."
"By the way, how about this? I'll go to His Majesty and tell him that if this engagement doesn't work, we should cancel it. I'm so much older than you, and you're still young now."
"No, I really don't hate you."
"No, I'm not talking about whether you hate me or not. I just think there is too much age difference between us. I can't really marry you!"
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty made the engagement. How can you regret it so easily?"
"Well, then, we can't really get married, right? How old are you?"
"I'm twelve years old, no, I'm going to be thirteen soon!"
"I"
Sure enough, when he heard Lan Ruoyan tell her age personally, Chu Ze almost choked to death on his own saliva.
Twelve years old.
Three years to start, maximum reprieve of death.
What a wonderful time this is, what a cardamom time it is!
punishment!
This is real punishment!
After chatting awkwardly with each other for a long time.
In the end, Chu Ze couldn't hold on any longer.
If he keeps talking like this, he will really embarrass himself to death.
So, after he found a reason, he left directly.
However, after the two of them were alone together for a while, Lan Ruoyan seemed not to be as shy as she was at the beginning.
When Chu Ze asked to leave, she also took the initiative to see Chu Ze off.
And when he watched Chu Ze's embarrassed figure get into the carriage, and then walked away.
Lan Yu's sneaky figure emerged from the side again.
"Daughter, how was your chat? When will the marriage be decided? If your marriage is decided, remember to tell dad! Dad will also prepare a generous dowry for you!"
The third update is delivered today!
