Chapter 237: Gathering

In Shen time, it was when the sun set, an orange-red sunset was burning in the sky.

When Chu Xinyu heard that his second uncle came back, he was both surprised and excited. He knew that his second uncle was now talking to Old Lady Chu in Anshantang, and she had not changed her clothes, so he took Danqing to Anshantang.

But when she walked outside the gate of Anshantang, she suddenly thought of something and stopped quickly.

In Yu'er's memory, her second uncle was a serious and majestic person. Every time she saw him, Yu'er didn't dare to look directly at him and hid as far as possible. If she had to pretend to be timid after she went in?

But then I thought again that they hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and she was no longer a child. After experiencing so many things, she became mature and sensible. When facing Chu Xiao, she could no longer use her previous attitude.

It is definitely not easy to deceive those who can become generals, and she doesn't want to deceive him. In this family, Chu Xiao's importance is definitely no worse than her unspoken father.

"Fifth sister, you are here too."

Chu Xinyu was about to step in when he heard Chu Jiayi's voice. He turned his head to see that Chu Jiayi had changed her clothes and had a gentle smile on her face. It seemed that she was in a good mood.

"I heard that my second uncle is back and is on my grandmother's side, so I come to pay his respects to him." Chu Xinyu said.

"I also heard that my second uncle has been back for a long time." Just like before, even if my second uncle comes back, he is very busy every day. It is not easy to see him when he goes out early and comes back late.

When Chu Jiayi approached, Chu Xinyu reached out and took her arm, and the two walked in together.

In the house, except for the Third Master and Yuan, who are in charge of official positions, all the young and old in the mansion came to the main hall of Anshantang. This was the first time Chu Xinyu saw so many people when he came back.

When she went in, she saw a tall, strong, upright and majestic man kneeling in front of the Luohan couch. Old Mrs. Chu looked at her second son who had been darker again. When she remembered her eldest son who was still in another place, her eyes couldn't help but feel slightly moist. She helped her second son while choking and saying, "It's just right to come back, it's just right to come back, are you thirsty? Go and have a thirsty tea first."

"Okay." Chu Xiao straightened his body and held the old lady Chu with both hands. His eyes first turned to his wife. Seeing that she looked as normal, even better than before, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then looked at his nephews and daughters.

"Father." Chu Zhiye raised his lips and shouted respectfully.

Among the three brothers, his personality is similar to that of the second master. He is usually serious and has cold eyebrows and eyes. He is extremely majestic when he doesn't smile. Today, when his father comes back, the two of them have not seen each other for half a year before they smile.

After he finished calling, the third prince Chu Zhizhang also called his father, then the fourth prince Chu Zhirui, the sixth prince Chu Zhiyi and the eighth prince Chu Zhipeng. The first two called him the second uncle, and the latter called him the second uncle. As for the fifth prince Chu Zhijie, he has been with his father since he became an adult, and this time he has not come back with his father.

Chu Xiao looked at them, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled, "I haven't seen you for half a year. You have grown taller and stronger. Go to the martial arts training ground tomorrow morning, and I'll try the skills of your three brothers."

"Uncle Second, you missed Peng'er. Peng'er is now practicing martial arts. When he grows up, he will be a general like Uncle Second." Chu Zhipeng stood in front of Chu Zhizhang, raised his little face, and looked at Chu Xiao with a jealous look on his face.

Chu Xiao reached out and touched his head and said, "No, I didn't expect our Peng'er to have such ambition, so you can come together tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, uncle, Peng'er will work hard."

Chu Xiao smiled and then looked at the girls.

Chu Xinyu and Chu Jiayi were already standing beside Chu Jiapeng at this time. The first one to speak was Chu Jiapeng. She was closest to Chu Xiao, but given her father's majesty, she was respectful and fearful to this father. There seemed to be a gap between the father and daughter, and she never dared to show that she was too close. Therefore, when she saw him looking over, Rourou called "father" and saluted her lightly.

"Peng'er is about to get married now. Before he knew it, you are so old." Chu Xiao said in a complicated mood. His daughter is now about to get married, but he is reluctant to leave. The father and daughter have been together for a few years, and he is ashamed of his daughter.

Chu Jiapeng lowered her head shyly.

The third lady said, "Don't the second uncle come back this time? The third girl's wedding date is scheduled to be on the fifth day of the eighth month. The two fathers and daughters can get together more before getting married."

Chu Xiao replied: "That's true."

This time, because of important matters, the emperor allowed him to stay in the capital for a long time, and maybe he could even send his daughter to marry before leaving.

Chu Jiayi, Chu Jiaqi, Chu Jiayu and Chu Xinyu also came to salute Chu Xiao and greet him.

Chu Xiao praised him one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Chu Xinyu, deep and sharp, as if he wanted to see her through, "Are you the fifth niece?" he said in a deep voice.

Chu Xinyu has changed a lot and hasn't seen her for another two years. And even if she saw her before, she didn't dare to look at her head, so she didn't have a deep impression of her.

Chu Xinyu met Chu Xiao's majestic and sharp eyes, and replied with a smile: "Yes, Second Uncle."

Chu Xiao's eyes were sharp. Even his subordinates, few people dared to look at him. However, Chu Xinyu looked straight in his eyes without fear at all. He had some calmness and courage. His eyes were clean and beautiful, and his speech was just right. He nodded with her performance, "He has grown into a big girl, but he looks very similar to your mother."

The mother he mentioned was naturally her biological mother Mei, and this was a kind of praise. Chu Xinyu pretended to be shy and bowed his head.

Chu Xiao has been a man for many years and has a majestic body, so he naturally has a pair of golden eyes. He could see that the niece in front of him was very different from his impression. Moreover, his wife also mentioned her changes in her letter to him, so she was naturally curious about her. But now is not the time to interrogate, so she didn't say much, so she took the one-year-old grandson Xiao Ge'er in the arms of the Lord of Yuzhen and was having fun. The whole family gathered together, talking about family matters one by one.

Old Mrs. Chu was very happy when her second son came back. These days it was a three-day celebration. She should have welcomed her second son, but time was in a hurry and there was no preparation. Besides, the family dinner will be in two days, so she will be left for the day after tomorrow to have it together.

Happy time passed by, and everyone had dinner in Anshan Hall. Old Mrs. Chu was kind to her son, and after the meal, everyone left their own separation.

Chu Xiao and the second wife left first with their children, daughters, daughters, and grandsons, but Chu Xinyu was the last one to leave.

Chu Xinyu talked to Mrs. Chu for a while, and Mrs. Chu praised her for her successful reception today. Although some unsatisfactory episodes occurred, she handled it very well and praised Lan Yi for her duty.

Old Mrs. Chu always thought that Lan Yi was just a close maid. It turned out that she was working as a guard next to Chu Xinyu. Because she did not sell herself and did not receive monthly money from the Marquis' Mansion, she immediately ordered Madam Sun to reward Lan Yi with five taels of silver to encourage her to do her duty.

She thought that Chu Xinyu's current identity was different from the past, and she should have a girl who knew martial arts and was smart around her. Even if she didn't know that Lan Yi knew martial arts, she planned to ask the second wife to arrange one. Now that she knew, she didn't need to arrange it anymore. It's better to be familiar with her than to be familiar with her. Moreover, they had two years of relationship and had a tacit understanding between each other.

Chu Xinyu knew that these were not Lan Yi's credit, but for Wu'er, she said that her favorite thing was to eat. Yinliang and jewelry were not very interested, so she asked Mrs. Chu to turn Yinliang into fruits and snacks, such as the seasonal fruit mango loquat or mango, which were Wu'er's favorites.

Old Mrs. Chu agreed happily and asked Madam Sun to pack some fresh lychees and loquats transported from the manor today, as well as a box of desserts.

As soon as Chu Xinyu walked out of Anshantang, a small figure ran over and hugged her thighs with both hands, "Fifth Sister, Peng'er misses you so much!"

"Eighth brother." Chu Xinyu reached out to rub the top of his head. The child had been staring at her inside just now. He wanted to squeeze in several times, but was pulled by his third brother. Chu Jiayi had mentioned this younger brother to her many times, and she had a little impression of him. He used to like pester Yu'er and play with him. Unexpectedly, he was still so enthusiastic about Yu'er for two years.

Chu Zhipeng looked at her with a small, pink face and said, "Why didn't you tell me when you come back? So I can come back to see you earlier."

Chu Xinyu smiled, "It's not too late to tell you now. Eighth brother, my sister is back, and I miss you so much."

"real?"

"Really." Chu Xinyu pinched her cute little Jun's face. This kid looked so handsome, with round eyes. You could tell at a glance that a ghost elves were a ghost.

"Then can I go and play with you?" Chu Zhipeng's big eyes were full of expectations.

"Of course." Chu Xinyu added: "But my sister has something to do these two days. Is it okay to wait for you to take you to play in two days?"

When he heard about playing, Chu Zhipeng nodded like a pound of garlic, smiled brightly, and made a hook with Chu Xinyu, and was pulled away by Chu Jiayu.
