This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Rao Xing Chenmu, who has always maintained a calm appearance, couldn't help trembling when he heard this, not to mention Zhuo Ying, who had been tense all night and was almost stiff from the moment he entered the door.

Hearing this, Zhuo Ying lifted up her robe and knelt down to Lu Jiarui.

Before Xing Chenmu had time to do anything, Lu Jiarui had already bowed to support Zhuo Ying on the ground, and said with a slight smile, "You are also the future queen, how can you just kneel when you say kneeling to the old man, this old man will lose his life." .”

Zhuo Ying was taken aback for a moment, as if she understood what the other party meant, but she couldn't believe it: "You...don't object?"

Lu Jiarui didn't answer his doubts immediately, he pointed to the seat beside him and said to the two of them, "Sit down first, you stand like this, I won't even dare to sit down."

Only then did Xing Chenmu calm down, and took Zhuo Ying to sit beside him: "May I ask how my grandfather knew that Zhuo Ying was the person of my heart?"

"At the beginning when your mother and your father made a private decision for life, she gave your father the silver bracelet that she had worn since she was a child. Professor, you can only grope for your own feelings, and others can't control them. If the old man insists on blocking, it will only increase everyone's pain, so why bother?" Lu Jiarui raised his finger and pointed at Zhuo Ying's neckline, "It's very important to your mother. This is the same for you. If you give up this relationship because of the obstruction of your elders, it can only show that you have not taken responsibility. And since you know that you can't stop it, I naturally don't intend to be this villain. You brought this child to the house, old man Then recognize him as the grandson-in-law."

"Granddaughter-in-law" Zhuo Ying blushed, looked down at her neckline, and finally understood how Lu Jiarui guessed his relationship with Xing Chenmu.

When he saluted just now, Lu Jiarui must have seen the jade pendant. The jade pendant was specially given to the Queen Mother by Lu Jiarui back then. Xing Chenmu had been wearing it since he was born. How could such a thing be given to others at will.

Remembering that when Xing Chenmu gave him the jade pendant back then, he still didn't understand the meaning, Zhuo Ying took a look at Xing Chenmu and felt even more embarrassed.

"Thank you grandpa for making things perfect." Although Xing Chenmu came to Lujia Town with the intention of persuading Lu Jiarui to accept Zhuo Ying, he never expected that things would go so smoothly, and his face was immediately full of joy.

"Your mother is beyond the control of this old man." Lu Jiarui paused, "After all, you are not only the son of your mother, but also the grandson of this old man, but also the ruler of this country in Ran Ying. According to this old man, your mother is here In the palace, it is not unreasonable to worry more, so don't blame her."

"Of course not. My grandson understands that no matter what my mother does, she really thinks about me. I'm just worried that she will be overthinking and hurt her body instead."

Lu Jiarui didn't show any dissatisfaction with Xing Chenmu's liking for men, whether it was Xing Chenmu or Zhuo Ying, they finally let go of their long-hanging hearts.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted about homework again, until it was almost lunch time, when Lu Shao returned to the academy and told them that meals were prepared at home, and Lu Jiarui took everyone home together.

The Lu family did not separate. Both Lu Xiao and Lu Shao lived with Lu Jiarui. Although the youngest sister, Lu Huan, was married, her husband's house was not far away, so she could often visit her mother's house. Today, because of Xing Chenmu's A few people came to visit, before it was time for the reunion dinner, all the men, women and children in the house were already there. After Xing Chenmu entered the house, Lu Jiarui introduced him one by one.

In fact, Xing Chenmu knew who was in the family before he came. When the queen mother left with the first emperor, Lu Xiao and Lu Shao were not yet married, so Xing Chenmu was the oldest in this generation, and Lu Xiao had two sons under his knees. The youngest is four years old, the second son is ten years old this year, while Lu Shao has a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter is fourteen, and the youngest son is the same age as Lu Huan's only son, but just eight years old.

After Lu Jiarui finished his introduction, Xing Chenmu said hello to the elders, looked around again, and asked a little strangely, "Why haven't you seen my eldest cousin?"

Lu Xiao's wife Shen Jinghan's expression moved slightly when she heard the words, and was about to step forward to say something, but Lu Xiao took a step ahead: "He has been wandering outside and hasn't returned home yet."

Xing Chenmu nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but after Lu Xiao turned around, he looked at Shen Jinghan thoughtfully.

The lunch was very sumptuous, Xing Chenmu didn't care too much about the etiquette, so Ying Ba and Ying Jiu also served on the table.

During the meal, Lu Jiarui asked how many people would stay at home for a few more days, and Xing Chenmu said truthfully: "When I came out, I promised my brother to return within two months. When we count, we should start tomorrow."

While talking, Zhuo Ying on the side noticed Shen Jinghan's hesitant expression again, but she quickly lowered her head again and said nothing.

"I'm leaving tomorrow..." Lu Jiarui sighed with some regret, "Luan City is a long way away. After you leave, I don't know if I will have a chance to meet again in my lifetime."

"Grandfather and grandmother must live a long life. After a few years, the grandson will come home to visit the elders."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Lu Shao changed the subject and said, "But you guys came at the right time. Although our town is small, the Mid-Autumn Festival is very lively. There is a custom of lighting lanterns to help the moon, and there are lantern riddles for everyone to guess Let's play, there will be a fire dragon dance performance on the street at night, Mu'er must take a few of you to see it."

"Okay, I used to hear my mother talk about this, and I finally have a chance to see you today." Xing Chenmu should be modest and polite on the face, but he shook Zhuo Ying's hand under the table, taking advantage of the elders not paying attention, he leaned over and whispered Said, "It just so happens that Ah Ying still owes me a lantern viewing. If I can't catch up with the Lantern Festival, I can't wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Who did it? At that time, I was only worried about your safety." Zhuo Ying looked at Xing Chenmu's childish side with some amusement. The other party had been thinking about that promise at the beginning, and he had repeated it over and over again.

After dinner, Xing Chenmu's two aunts got up to clean up the dishes. Lu Jiarui helped his wife who had been busy all morning to go back to the house to rest, and told Lu Xiao and Lu Shao to accompany Xing Chenmu and the others to look around.

Now that I have returned home, I will naturally stay here tonight, but because there are not many guests at home, there are only two vacant rooms, so Lu Xiao took them to the courtyard, and said apologetically: "I am afraid that the three adults will be wronged tonight. It's squeezed."

"This, this... Ying Jiu and I don't need to rest anymore, let's stay guard in the courtyard." Hearing this, Ying Ba immediately took a step back in fright, even if he borrowed his courage again, he would not dare Squeeze a bed with the future queen.

"I introduced it to my grandfather in the morning, but I haven't had time to explain it to the two uncles in the future. It's my nephew's negligence." Xing Chenmu didn't look at Yingba and Yingjiu, and directly stretched his arms around Zhuoying's waist and said to Lu Xiao and Lu Shao , "This is Zhuo Ying, the commander of the Shadow Guard Army, and my unmarried wife."

"Commander of the Shadow Guards? Brother, this..." Lu Shao instinctively looked up at Lu Xiao, but Lu Xiao was stunned for a long time before coughing: "Mu'er, marrying a man has never happened before in all dynasties. There is a precedent, and you will be criticized in the future, have you made a decision?"

After Lu Shao heard about this, the focus was actually on the commander of the shadow guards rather than the man and wife.From Zhuo Ying to Ying Ba and Ying Jiu who were behind them, they all felt a bit on guard.

On the other hand, Xing Chenmu nodded seriously as if he didn't notice it: "Yes, I have already identified him."

Lu Xiao and Lu Shao didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, Lu Shao said: "I saw that some of you seemed to have not had a good rest the night before. Why don't you take a short rest while you have nothing to do? The house has been cleaned up. Alright, see if you need anything else, I'll prepare it for you."

Xing Chenmu took Zhuo Ying into the house to have a look, the bed was already made and all kinds of supplies were in place, so he thanked the two and asked them to go to rest first.

After returning to the house and closing the door, Zhuo Ying hesitated for a long time before she wanted to speak, but the door was knocked again, Ying Ba and Ying Jiu stood outside the door.

Xing Chenmu waited for a while, and saw that they were all silent, so he let them into the room, and said for them: "Okay, I know what you want to say, do you think my two uncles have a bit of attitude after hearing the shadow guard commander?" weird?"

If others were like this, as shadow guards, they would definitely report it immediately and remind Xing Chenmu to pay attention, but those few were Xing Chenmu's elders after all, so they hesitated and didn't know how to say it.Seeing that Xing Chenmu had also noticed it now, several of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and nodded in recognition.

"Why do you think it will be?"

"I haven't figured this out yet, but I can be sure that neither uncle nor aunt has any ill intentions towards you, but...their attitude when they heard about my identity still makes people have to care." It was Zhuo Ying, he frowned, but he really didn't understand the reason.

However, Ying Jiu suddenly asked cautiously at this moment: "Do you feel that...that eldest lady looks familiar?"

Familiar?

Having said that, Zhuo Ying recalled Shen Jinghan's face, she really seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she really couldn't remember it.

Seeing this, Xing Chenmu waved his hand: "Okay, didn't you have a rest last night, okay? I'll find out about this later. Let's rest first."

"Yes." Ying Ba Ying Jiu didn't dare to disturb the two of them anymore, and left after saluting.

Zhuo Ying was also really sleepy, and fell asleep not long after being carried to bed by Xing Chenmu.

When I woke up again, it was almost time for dinner, and Shen Jinghan's voice came from outside: "Mu'er, are you up yet?"

The two got out of bed, put on their clothes, and opened the door. Outside the door, Shen Jinghan saw their eyes slightly dodging, but still said: "Father and mother, please go to their room."

On the way to Lu Jiarui's hospital with Shen Jinghan, Xing Chenmu said: "Auntie has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Shen Jinghan was taken aback for a moment, quickly lowered her eyes, and shook her head lightly: "No, no."

Seeing her like this, Zhuo Ying felt more and more familiar in her heart, but she still couldn't remember, so she went all the way to Lu Jiarui's room frowning.

Mrs. Lu's boudoir name is Wang Xuan, and I don't know how Lu Jiarui told her. In short, she seemed to like this "grandson-in-law" very much. She dragged him to talk for a while, and then said to Lu Jiarui: "This child looks like How handsome, he is a perfect match for our Mu'er."

"No, it's not." Hearing this, Zhuo Ying didn't know what to do, raised his hand and put it down again, looking back at Xing Chenmu.

There were only the four of them in the room. Xing Chenmu understood what he meant, and stepped forward to take off the mask for him, coaxing softly: "It's okay, the commander of the shadow guard doesn't show his true face, it's more just a status symbol inherited from ancient times. , and now at home, don’t worry too much about safety.”

Only then did Zhuo Ying feel relieved, and said to the two elders in front of her a little embarrassedly: "Just now that was a mask of special characteristics, this is the real appearance of this junior."

Unexpectedly, after Wang Xuan saw Zhuo Ying's real face, he liked it even more from the bottom of his heart. He looked around and took out a purse from the side: "Where you come from, it is said that you don't like these things, but according to our place It should be like this. You came in a hurry, and I didn’t know what to give you at the moment. Here is a purse I embroidered before. I just changed it, so I will give it to you to keep safe. It is not a valuable thing. Don't be disgusted."

Wang Xuan is fifty-six this year, with clear eyes. He still loves to do these needleworks when he has nothing to do on weekdays, and his craftsmanship is very exquisite.

"How can you dislike..." Zhuo Ying didn't expect Wang Xuan to give him something. When he took it, he saw his name embroidered on the purse, and his eyes were red. He was brought back to the palace by his adoptive father when he was young. , apart from the adoptive father, there are no other elders, and this is the first time in his life that he has received a purse embroidered by an elder like this.

Seeing that Zhuo Ying obviously didn't react, Xing Chenmu gave a low laugh, and leaned over and said, "Silly Aying, grandma asked you to change your mind."

According to the folk customs, this is the first time to change your mouth when you meet your elders after marriage. The elders will give some small items to show their love, but it is rare for Zhuo Ying and Xing Chenmu to come back. All done in advance.

"Ah?" Zhuo Ying's eyes widened, and it took her a while to realize, she leaned in front of Wang Xuan and whispered, "Thank you, grandma."

Lu Jiarui coughed from the side, Zhuo Ying blushed immediately, and said, "Thank you, grandfather."

"Okay, okay." Lu Jiarui didn't want to get too involved in this matter at first, but just now he heard from Lu Xiao that Zhuo Ying was the commander of the shadow guards in the palace, and he was the one who saved Xing Chenmu from danger several times. It was really painful, and he said, "Since you have already called me grandfather, you don't have to worry about Mu'er's mother, I will edit a book later, and you can take it back to her."

The author has something to say: Conquer the world with a baby face. . . .
