Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

After dinner, Chu Lingxuan said to Wang Cheng, "I am going back to the Yamen tomorrow. My uncle will spend more time with his mother-in-law at home, and then report to the army in half a month..."

Chu Lingxuan's military camp was divided into two places. A small number of soldiers and his yamen were in Dingzhou Fucheng, and a large number of soldiers were outside the city. Arrange Wang Cheng in the Yamen of Dingzhou Prefecture, where the conditions are better and it is easier for Chu Lingxuan to take care of him.

When it comes to Wang Cheng's errand, practical problems arise. Wang Cheng is working as an errand in the capital of Dingzhou, where should his family be?

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to part with her younger brother and said, "Buy a piece of land and build a house near my home so that I can take care of my younger siblings. Like a son-in-law, a son-in-law will go home when he has a rest."

Chen Afu said disapprovingly, "My uncle's health is not very good and he cannot ride a horse for a long time. He can only ride a carriage when he goes home. If he sets up his home here, it will be inconvenient for uncle Xiumu to go home."

Riding a carriage is much slower than riding a horse, and it is indeed inconvenient to go back and forth.

Wang Cheng thinks about it too. He said, "Then let's settle down next to Fucheng. It's cheap to build a house there and it's convenient for me to go home." He then said to Mrs. Wang, "During the long vacation, my brother and his family come to bother my sister and brother-in-law. My sister Brother-in-law, if you have nothing to do, you can come to my house to play."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't have to live in the suburbs. I'll buy him a small courtyard in Fucheng."

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Ah Fu. You have already spent so much money on me. I can't let you spend more money..." and told him the method he had discussed with Wu.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Keep the uncle's money and use it slowly. My nephew will give you a small courtyard."

Mrs. Wang thought her daughter had a lot of money, so she smiled and persuaded Wang Cheng, "Chengzi, take it, your nephew is not short of money."

After the discussion, Chen Afu talked about the gifts he had brought. Most of them were for Chen Ming's family, and some were for Dafang, Hu Laowu, Wu Carpenter and other well-connected people, asking Chen Ming to help deliver them.

Afterwards, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu led several children, Qiqi, Huihui, and Zhuifeng's family back to Tangyuan. Wangcai was very reluctant to leave Zhui Feng and his family, so he sent them to the gate of Tangyuan before going back.

Chen Afu smiled and said to it, "The two families are close to each other, and Wangcai often comes to play."

Miss Chu and Dabao also went to Yanxiang Pavilion. It was Li Xuan's time to rest. The little guy was whining and refused to sleep, so Chen Afu had to go to the west wing to coax him.

Dabao and Yan'er didn't want to leave their mother, so they stood at the door hand in hand and waited. Eagerly looking forward to Xiao Xuanxuan falling asleep soon so that their mother can be returned to them.

At this time, several swallows' murmurs suddenly came, and Chu Hanyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily, "Brother, Jinbao is back."

Dabao was still a little confused and asked, "Sister, are you sure it is Jinbao?"

Chu Lingyan nodded and said, "Well, I can still smell it." She raised her head and looked around and said, "Jinbao, come out quickly. Stop playing hide and seek with us. My brother and I miss you so much."

Dabao shrugged his nose a few times and then said, "Why don't I smell it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a swallow flew in from the window, stood on Chu Hanyan's shoulder and chirped, "Smelly Dabao, little Yanyan, we meet again."

Of course Dabao couldn't understand its words, but he recognized it. When he saw that it was really a golden swallow, he grabbed it and said happily, "It really is Jinbao. You are finally back. My sister and I miss you every day."

His hand didn't know how heavy it was, and he pinched it so hard that Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes.

Chen Afu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jin Yanzi was back, and said with a smile, "Jinbao, come quickly, Xiaoxuanxuan is waiting for you so much that she refuses to sleep."

After hearing this, Jin Yanzi broke free from Dabao's clutches and flew to rest on Li Xuan's pillow. When Li Xuan saw it, he grinned with joy.

Chen Afu finally got away and led Dabao and Yan'er back to the upper room.

When Chu Lingxuan saw these two little things following him again, he frowned and said, "It's getting late now. You should go back to your own yard to rest."

When the two little men heard this, they hurriedly hugged one of Chen Afu's thighs and looked at Chu Lingxuan with the same hatred.

Chu Hanyan Nuonuo said, "My sister is reluctant to let my mother come back."

Dabao said loudly, "Mom and dad have slept together for so many days, it's time to sleep with my sister and me for one night."

This kid's words are too dirty.

Chen Afu was angry and funny, while Chu Lingxuan was stunned and didn't know what to say. Hong Fei and Xiao Mo, who were on duty, held back their laughter and went to the side room.

Chen Afu poked his little head with his finger and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Dabao said to Chen Afu with tears in his eyes, "Mom, don't you miss me and my sister? We have missed you for a long time."

Miss Chu also added, "Well, my brother and I want to sleep with our mother."

Chen Afu couldn't bear to leave them, so he discussed with Chu Lingxuan, "Otherwise, let them sleep here for one night."

As soon as Chen Afu finished speaking, the two little people jumped up happily.

Chu Lingxuan wanted to say, couldn't we let them sleep here tomorrow?

But seeing the two children so happy, I had no choice but to endure it. He said, "You two, remember, you can only sleep here for one night, and you will go back to your own yard tomorrow."

Seeing the two children nodding vigorously, he added, "However, Dabao is a boy and Yan'er is a girl, so they cannot sleep in the same bed. Yan'er and her mother sleep in the warm pavilion, and Dabao and her father sleep in the big bed."

Chen Afu also said, "This is how it should be. Anyone who disagrees should not sleep here."

Dabao originally wanted to object, but after hearing what his mother said, he didn't dare to object. He had to say, "We want to listen to mother telling stories together, and then sleep separately after listening to the stories."

This request is not excessive, Chen Afu nodded in agreement.

Several people finished washing and put on soft satin lapel pajamas. Their pajamas are all made by Chen Afu himself. Except for the color and embroidery pattern, the styles are basically the same.

Chen Afu's is embroidered with jasmine flowers in peach color, Chu Hanyan's is embroidered with little swallows in Yang Fei color, Chu Lingxuan's is embroidered with lake blue cloud patterns, and Dabao's is embroidered with sky blue embroidered little tigers.

The two little guys climbed onto the big bed first, and Chen Afu also sat on it. Chu Lingxuan sat outside, took a book and leaned on the bed to read.

Today is the first day that Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu sleep here, so the bed is decorated very festively. There are rich red embroidered peony tents, colorful brocade bedding and pillows with dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns.

Grandma Li looked at it and smiled and said, "We are really not a family. If we don't enter the same house, the four members of this family are all as handsome as the people in the moon palace."

Song's mother also smiled and said, "It's true, they don't look like sitting on a bed, but like sitting in a moon palace."

Chen Afu was about to start a lecture when Chu Hanyan crawled over and snatched the book from Chu Lingxuan's hand, pouting, "Mom said you can't multitask. Daddy must concentrate and don't read."

Chu Lingxuan laughed and said, "Okay, listen to my daughter and listen to your mother's stories."

Dabao was so anxious that he put his little fat finger up to his mouth and said, "Shh, be quiet, be quiet."
