Chapter 262 Family Dinner
In the past few days, Xue Shu always stayed at home and didn't go out very much. Xue Lu's family didn't even go out of the door, and even rarely went out of the main courtyard. Go through the hanging flower door and come to the front yard.

Obviously, Xue Yue attached great importance to Chu Chu.

The front yard has been re-arranged. Not only has it been cleaned inside and out, but even new lanterns have been replaced. Everywhere is full of joy. If more red silk and happy characters are filled in, it will probably make Xue Chen feel happy. He and Sun Ying paid homage at the same place.

The arrangement in the flower hall was even grander, and even the carpet was changed again. The red background was woven with exquisite treasure-face patterns, and it was extremely soft to step on.

At this time, there are melon and fruit snacks on the table.

Xue Chen and Jing Xing also came back. The two were talking in the flower hall, but when Jing Xing saw Xue Shu coming, he left Xue Chen without thinking, and went up to Xue Lu first. Shi arched his hands, took Xue Shu's hand, and pulled her aside to sit down.

"The cherries are pretty good, Shu'er needs to eat more." Jing Xing said while putting the bowl full of cherries in Xue Shu's hand.

Xue Shu lowered her head and picked up one, only to find that the cherry had not only been destemmed, but even the core had been dug out and cleaned up.

"The servants in the front yard are already so meticulous in their work?" Xue Shu opened her eyes wide, looked at the round and plump cherry in her hand, and couldn't help sighing.

Jing Xing hooked his lips, and said: "Of course, servants are not so meticulous. I cleaned them up one by one, and my hands are tired. Does Shu'er have to reward me?"

Hearing what he said, Xue Shu frowned, put the cherry in her hand back into the bowl, and took Jing Xing's hand to examine it carefully.

Jing Xing's hands were a bit rough, but Xue Shu's were delicate. It was really enjoyable to be gently covered by such a pair of fragrant and soft hands, feeling the soft fingertips lingering in the palm.

"It's time to reward you well..." Xue Shu sighed, and patted Jing Xingkuan's broad palm twice with her soft little hand.

Under Jing Xing's expectant gaze, Xue Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "I reward you for peeling another bowl, hurry up."

After speaking, Xue Shu let go of his hand.

Jing Xing's face froze, but seeing that Xue Shu had already started eating with the bowl in his arms, he had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and reached out to take another bowl of cherries.

It is a blessing to be able to eat.

Let him be tired.

Jing Xing had already peeled a whole bowl before, and his hands were already familiar with it. Now his fingers were as quick as afterimages, and he put all the peeled cherries into Xue Shu's bowl.

Xue Shu looked at the more and more cherries in her bowl, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She seemed almost full.

However, Jing Xing had already peeled a whole bowl of cherries at this moment, and was slowly wiping away the remaining water treatment on his hands. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xue Shu's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help teasing him: "Shu'er, these are my hard work. You peeled them so hard, look, your hands are red, and Shu'er has to eat them all one by one."

Xue Shu looked at his already rosy palms expressionlessly, and was speechless for a while, but she didn't mind, so she had to honestly eat them one by one.

The flower hall is only this big, and there are not many people. At this moment, the protagonist of the opera has not appeared on the stage, and everyone has nothing to do. They are all looking around. Therefore, every move of the two young people over there falls on the attention of the rest of the people. in the eyes.

Xue Lu's eyes were full of smiles when she looked at Xue Shu, who had blank eyes and only her cheeks were bulging.

Aunt Wu and Xue Yao were also looking at Xue Shu, either calculating or envious in their eyes, it was very complicated anyway.

Xue Chen and Sun Ying were sitting together, at this moment he glanced at Jing Xing who was smiling all over his face, and said with a sneer: "He looks like this, I really should ask my colleagues from the Imperial Academy to come and have a look."

Everyone outside has a face of ice cubes, but when she sees Xue Shu when she returns home, it's like a dog seeing meat and almost pounces on it.

Sun Ying raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

In fact, she and Xue Chen really have nothing in common.

Xue Chen glanced at Sun Ying from the corner of his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Does Miss Sun like cherries?"

Just now he watched Jing Xing stripping for a long time, and he has seen everything, but he hasn't tried it yet.

Sun Ying was taken aback, then blinked: "Thank you Mr. Xue for your concern, I don't like to eat."

The cherries in April are just ripe, and most of them are sour and hard to eat. At this time, sweet cherries are a rare thing.

Sun Ying looked around the table, and realized that there were not many cherries on the table, and Xue Shu loves to eat so much, so it's better to hold on to her first.

Xue Chen pursed his lips, glanced at Xue Shu who had a dull expression after eating, and reached out to take a bowl from the table.

Holding the cherry stem in his hand, he lowered his voice and said, "You see, Shu'er is so stupid to eat, you are the future sister-in-law, you have to help her share a little bit."

"Pfft..." Sun Ying turned her head to look at Xue Shu, and almost laughed out loud.

All her attention was attracted by Xue Shu, completely ignoring Xue Chen's "future sister-in-law".

Kind of silly indeed.

In this case, she is not welcome.

I don't know how long it has passed, seeing that it was getting dark outside, Xue Shu insisted on finishing two bowls of cherries, and now she leaned weakly on the back of the chair, unable to get up.

Just when Xue Lu was a little impatient, the door of the flower hall was opened again, and Xue Yue strode in.

I haven't seen him for many days, but now Xue Yue is really in high spirits.

Holding Yunniang's hand on the left and Chuchu's on the right, the family of three looked very harmonious.

There was still a hint of excitement on Xue Yue's face, presumably he had confided his heartfelt feelings to Yunniang, mother and daughter for a while.

Xue Shu raised her eyes and looked around the faces of everyone.

Xue Lu's expression was as usual, it was Aunt Wu, her face was pale, and there were tears in her eyes, she looked very pitiful.

Xue Shu secretly sighed.

Xue Yue took the seat first, and Yunniang was about to take her seat according to the seat she had arranged early in the morning, but Xue Lu had already stood up: "Sister, what are you doing sitting so far away, come sit here."

If it was arranged according to the seats arranged early in the morning, Yunniang and Chuchu would have to sit in the seats just entered the door.

After all, they had no status, and Xue Yue was not willing to break up with Xue Lu for the time being, so he didn't give them any convenience, only saying that everything should be done according to the rules.

Unexpectedly, he was not convenient, but Xue Lu took the initiative to give up the seat of his mistress.

Once Xue Lu moved, the rest of the people had to move, otherwise we couldn't let the mistress of the family guard the door, right?

So the people who had already sat down moved two seats to the side one after another.

Xue Yue's complexion suddenly became a little stiff.

But the rest of the people were doing as usual, even if Xue Yue was unhappy, he couldn't say it out.

He had no choice but to look at Yunniang with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Since the madam has said so, then Yunniang, Chuchu, come and sit down."
