Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

What Chen Afu wants most right now is to take a hot bath, sit on the warm kang, eat mutton soup, and then sleep like an earth-shaker.

Now that Princess Kerui is here, they still have to settle their matters first.

She carried Li Xuan to the upper room and said, "Xuan'er, your mother-in-law has come to pick you up. She has been away from you for so long and misses you so much that she cries every day. You have to be good..." Follow her home.

Princess Rui walked out of the room. She stretched out her hand and choked, "Xuan'er, Xuan'er..."

Li Xuan already had an impression of his biological parents. During these days in the Chu family, his wet nurse, Aunt Wei, would talk to her every day about how his mother-in-law loved and missed him, and how the palace in the capital was. Li Xuan He always knew that his real home was the palace. Before returning to the capital, Chen Afu also did a lot of work for him and told him that he would return to his home after returning to the capital.

Li Xuan allowed Princess Rui to embrace and marry her, but was unwilling to return to the palace with her. The wet nurse forced her to carry her back, and she was still crying.

Chen Afu couldn't bear to let him go, but he couldn't dominate his son. She touched his head and said, "Xuan'er, don't cry. I miss my aunt, so I came to my aunt's house to play."

Li Xuan choked and said, "When my aunt returns to her home in Dingzhou, remember to take Xuan Xuan with her. Xuan Xuan likes her aunt, brother, sister, and brother."

It was difficult for Chen Afu to answer this question, so he laughed twice.

Princess Rui had already heard from the prince how smart her son was. When she saw it today, she was indeed much smarter and articulate. She never expected that he could make such a request. This, this, this is so incredibly clever. Not only was she not angry, she cried with joy.

She took Chen Afu's hand and said, "Young Madam Chu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. My prince and I will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Princess, you're welcome. I also like Xuan'er very much. I often bring him to play when I have nothing to do."

After seeing them off, Sister-in-law Yu pointed to the pile of colorful gold and silver jewelry on the table and said, "This is a gift from Princess Rui."

Chen Afu and his son took a bath and put on clean clothes. Mrs. Chu San's girl came.

She said with a smile, "The third lady said that it's getting late now, and grandma is tired from traveling, so she doesn't have to go and pay her respects to the elders..."

Chen Afu stood up and thanked her, and then asked someone to give the girl a purse.

She sat on the kang, fed the two children, and put them on the kang to play. She ate the soup pot and listened to Sister-in-law Yu's report.

Sister-in-law Yu said that everything was calm in the house, and Mrs. Chu was keeping her in check, and the second Mrs. Chu couldn't even use the demon Ezi even if she wanted to. However, when the two brothers were one month old, the two sisters-in-law had a quarrel.

Because the third lady wanted the second master or the third master to take the second girl to Dingzhou to drink full moon wine on behalf of the Hou Mansion, but the second lady just made excuses not to allow the second master and the third master to go. She said that when the third master got married, the old marquis, the marquis, the eldest uncle and the eldest grandma did not return home. If the eldest brother doesn't give face to the second brother, why should the second brother give face to the first brother.

The third lady was so angry that she teased her, "Your face is not much bigger than the sparrows on the tree, but you still have the nerve to show it. If you don't rely on the big house, who are you?"

The second lady was so angry that she burst into tears...

The second wife's legitimate son, Chu Ling'an, was about to get married in early September. That was when Chu Lingxuan was busiest. The old Marquis was pretending to be ill, and the Marquis of Chu was in Lingyin Temple again. How could he come back to attend the wedding. Chen Afu, who has a big belly, is even less likely to come back. Even if she didn't have a big belly, she wouldn't come back.

Chen Afu knew in his heart that what Li was really angry about was not his face, but that he had given birth to two sons. She laughed for a while and said, "Everyone except herself knows how much face Mrs. Li has. If you dream about things you can't get every day, you will lose more and more face in the future."

After breakfast the next day, Chen Afu went to Anrong Hall with his son and the gift for the third bedroom. He also asked his servants to give them gifts for the second bedroom.

Chen Afu felt that he and Mrs. Li had broken up, and he didn't want to pretend that nothing happened.

Mrs. Chu San was holding Chu Lingzhi and talking. When she heard Chen Afu coming with her child, she laughed loudly and said, "Quickly, let me see the two little brothers."

Chen Afu bowed to the third lady and asked someone to put the child on the kang.

Mrs. Chu San kissed this one and then that one, she liked it very much. He smiled and said, "What a beautiful boy. It would be even better if he were a girl."

She gave two more Qibao necklaces as gifts to the two brothers.

Chu Lingzhi went out and took Sa Sa's family of three to show off at someone else's house.

After a short time, Chu Zhen arrived. She has to come to the third lady's place every day to establish an hour's rules, and learn how to treat others and manage the middle class.

Chu Zhen bowed to the third lady, then bent her knees to Chen Afu and shouted, "Sister-in-law."

Although the smile is far-fetched, I still know how to smile and call people, and my temperament is much better than before. This progress is not small.

Chen Afu also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law."

Chu Zhen took out two more small jade pendants and said, "This is a meeting gift from me to my two nephews. Sister-in-law, don't dislike it."

Chen Afu knew that this must be Grandma Qian's suggestion, but it was not easy. He smiled and said, "Oh, I'll thank Second Aunt on their behalf."

The two mothers came with two more children in their arms and saluted Chu Zhen.

When Chu Zhen saw the two little brothers who looked almost identical, she felt it was very funny. Her smile became more sincere and she went over to tease the child.

Mrs. Chu San wanted to say something personal to Chen Afu, so she said, "Zhen'er, I'm busy today, so you should go back first." She felt that she performed well today, so she took off a red gold butterfly hairpin with ruby ​​​​from her head and smiled. He said, "Everyone likes good children. This is a reward from my royal grandmother. You can wear it."

This was the second time that the Third Lady had given her something, and it was also a gift from the Empress Dowager. Chu Zhen happily accepted it and said goodbye to Chen Afu before leaving.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Third aunt is really good at training people. In less than a year, second aunt has changed a lot."

Mrs. Chu smiled, looked at the falling snow outside the window, her face became serious, and she whispered to Chen Afu, "It is said that Master Wu Zhi is very good at predicting events. It is already the end of the year. I wonder if there is really going to be a snow disaster..."

He also said that since they got the tip bag, neither the Marquis of Chu nor the Third Master Chu went north. Even if there were some errands that I had to go to, I would find reasons to postpone them. I just don’t know when this deadline is coming and whether it can be avoided...

"It's so sad." Chu Sanfu sighed, then changed the subject and said, "Last time you brought me two jars of bubble wine, and I gave one jar to the imperial grandmother. She seemed to like it so much that she drank it every night. One cup, I say it tastes good, and I feel refreshed after drinking it.”

Chen Afu smiled and said, "I brought two more jars this time." He whispered, "To be honest with Third Aunt, the mother and son who brewed this wine added some rare medicinal materials. Those things were given to me by Master Wu Zhi. So make up for it.”

It is not good to let the royal people know that they have good things in their hands, and blame the unwise old monk for the trouble.
