Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The third lady pursed her lips and smiled and said, "No wonder it's so good. I'll give her another jar of wine. I hope she can live a long life." She added, "Xuan'er told me before that she asked me to find a better nanny. Sister Yan is the nanny. I happen to have one here, Aunt Huang. She has been serving me in the palace, but she is a little older, she is forty-three years old this year. If it doesn't work, I will go in again The palace asked the imperial grandmother for a younger one."

It was Chen Afu who proposed to Chu Lingxuan to find a nanny for Chu Hanyan. The little girl is already six years old, and she is too kind and simple. Even if she tries hard to teach her, she will not be very smart when she grows up. In addition, I don't know much about the twists and turns of the inner house, so I can't teach her this.

A girl living in a big house can be illiterate, but she cannot understand how to survive in the house. Especially for a little girl with such a good temper, she must be taught and served by a shrewd, loyal nanny who is well versed in the ways of the house.

At this time, Nanny Huang was standing next to Mrs. Chu, serving her. She lowered her head and frowned, as if she had not heard her master's words. She is one of the two most capable nannies of the Third Madam. If she were her, she would be a really good choice. Although he is older, he can still work for at least ten years. The first ten years are the most important period of growth for a little girl. I asked Grandma Huang to talk more about the twists and turns in the inner house. After marrying into the husband's family, he would serve the girl for a few years, clean up the ghosts and monsters around her husband, and then train a successor, and then he could retire with honor.

Chen Afu glanced at Nanny Huang, hugged the third lady's arm and said with a smile, "Nanny Huang is the favorite of the third aunt. She is capable and agile. Will the third lady be willing to do it?"

The third lady smiled and said, "Nanny Huang has served me for more than twenty years. She is loyal and easy to use. I really can't bear to part with her. However, Sister Yan has suffered a lot in the past and is kind-hearted. I sincerely I pity her and want her to have an easier life in the future."

Then he said to Aunt Huang, "Eldest sister is young and kind-hearted. If you educate her well, she will take care of you in your old age and give you a happy life."

Aunt Huang quickly came over and kowtowed to Mrs. Chu, "Thank you for your consideration, Princess. I will serve you well."

After getting up, he bent his knees and blessed Chen Afu again, saying, "Thank you, grandma."

Aunt Huang was once a female official in the palace. She had class and no need to kowtow to Chen Afu.

Chen Afu smiled and said a few words to her, and Xia Yue handed over another purse.

After a short while, Chu Hua led Brother Heng here again.

She saw a pair and liked them very much. He smiled and said, "Oh, I want to see more of them and have such a beautiful little brother."

Brother Heng said disapprovingly, "Male Yin looks like a man."

Because Brother Heng looks like his father, he is darker and stronger, and the fast-talking Chu Hua often says that he is not handsome. His father, Xie Ling, would say this to silence his wife. After a long time, even the little Heng brother learned it.

The third lady laughed loudly, "Little Dou Dingzi, you can't speak clearly, thank you man."

Chen Afu and Chu Hua had lunch and dinner here. Several people felt sorry for Chen Shiying for a while. The third lady had previously chosen a young man for Chen Yuqing, but because of this incident, she had to let it go.

Mr. Chu San did not go back to Anrong Hall for dinner. Instead, he drank in the outer courtyard with the old man, the second master and several other men in the family.

Originally, the Fengfeng Banquet should be held in Anrong Hall, where the whole family, men, women, old and young, would eat together. But because the second lady made a scene at the farewell banquet at the beginning of the year, the old man was unhappy and did not let the family gather together to eat. This is what Chen Afu and the third lady wanted. Neither of them wanted to see the second lady.

From the next day, Chen Afu claimed to be sick and stayed in the yard without going out. The third lady missed her and her children and wanted to come to Zhuxuan to visit them. Rong Zhao is Chen Afu's pseudo-mother-in-law and the pseudo-grandmother of the two brothers. As part of the etiquette for their mother and son when they come to Beijing, they must visit her and the Marquis of Chu.

You can use your toes to imagine how much Rong Zhao envied, jealous, and hated the mother and son. He went to the princess mansion and didn't know how to torment them. Chen Afu was not too afraid, but the two children could not take any precautions, so he had to pretend to be sick. Someone sent the gift to the princess mansion.

It was claimed that the main purpose was to prevent the second wife, Li, from informing the public. In the upper room of Zhuxuan, Chen Afu, mother and son were still doing what they were doing.

During this period, Mrs. Song, the second grandmother of Chu, and Shen and Chu Zhen, the third grandmother of Chu, came to Zhuxuan to visit Chen Afu.

Hearing the little girl's loud announcement, the two little brothers who were playing around on Chen Afu's big bed were quickly carried by their respective mothers to the big kang in the east room.

Aunt Li did not invite these people into the bedroom, and only asked them to sit at the door of the east side of the room. The reason was that the second grandma's son was still young, the third grandma was a new daughter-in-law, and the second girl was young and delicate and could not survive her illness.

Chen Afu was leaning on the bedside and weakly said a few words to them.

Mr. Shen is relatively outgoing and can talk well. His first impression is okay, but I don’t know what his real temperament is like. She was also curious about Brother Yu and Brother Ming. She teased them for a while and then said with a smile, "They say they are naughty and only feed on my sister-in-law's milk. Now that my sister-in-law is sick, how can I feed them? It's so pitiful, so don't go hungry." It’s burning.”

Grandma Li sighed, "My two brothers are not hungry, but we have to pity our grandma. We have to squeeze out the milk every day and let the slaves warm it up before feeding it to our brothers."

On the morning of the 20th, Master Chu San and Mrs. Chu San came to Zhuxuan in person.

When they came, Chen Afu could not pretend to be sick and received them in the hall.

Mr. Chu San reassured Chen Afu that Chen Shiying's current condition was not bad, and Mr. Dongsan could have someone help transfer it to him. But Chen Afu, a female family member, could not go to see him alone. Besides, Chen Afu was also pretending to be ill and waited for Chu Lingxuan to come back before going together.

Chen Afu took out several large parcels and a purse. The package contained things from Jiang, as well as cotton robes, food and wine from Chen Afu. But there can be no trust. The people who guard these things must check them. The banknote containing two hundred taels of silver was sent to the Imperial Guards guarding Chen Shiying.

This afternoon, Chen Aman and Ayu came to Zhuxuan again, and they also brought Yang Chao and Yang Qian.

Both children have grown taller, and their relationship with Aman is getting along well, and their mother’s screams are sweet. They heard that Dabao and Chu Hanyan were not here, and they were very sorry. However, when Yang Chao saw Sa Sa's mother and son, and Yang Qian saw the two younger brothers, her regrets were all gone.

Looking at Chen Aman’s sweet smile, life must be good.

Chen Afu stayed with them for dinner and promised to visit Yang's house another day.

During the night, a strong wind blew, and Chen Afu was awakened by the howling sound and the screams of his mother and son. Her uneasy heart became even more uneasy, and she counted hundreds of sheep in a daze before falling asleep.

Qingquan had a cold, fever, dizziness, and slept all day yesterday. I can't write today either, so I have to save my manuscript. Sadly, the editor asked Qingquan to save articles, but he couldn't save enough. This time, he had to save manuscripts again. The manuscripts he finally saved are getting less and less, which is sad. . .
