Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chu Lingxuan got off the carriage first, then turned around and helped Chen Afu down.

At this time, an officer in military uniform came out of the room, hugged Chu Lingxuan, and shouted, "Master Chu."

He should be the little boss here.

Chu Lingxuan also smiled and returned the gift to him, then took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it into his hand. Said, "My father-in-law relied on General Lin and all the brothers to help take care of him. Chu will always remember him in his heart."

General Lin quickly put the purse into his arms and said with a smile, "Master Chen is a good official and will not stay here for a long time. I should try my best to take good care of him."

Chen Afu said nothing, only smiled and wished General Lin a blessing, and General Lin hugged her with a fist. Chen Afu handed him the package in his hand again. He wanted to check it first and then hand it to Chen Shiying.

After passing the hanging flower gate, Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan walked along the corridor to the upper room. The yard was quiet, with only a few soldiers coming out for a walk from time to time. It was unknown how many guards were hidden in the house.

Entering the upper room, there was no one in the hall. Going east again, I saw Chen Shiying sitting on the kang in the side room. There was a Go board on the kang. He was concentrating on playing chess with himself and didn't notice anyone coming in at all.

"Dad." Chen Afu shouted.

Chen Shiying suddenly raised his head. He was wearing a long black satin robe with gold embroidery. Jiang made it for him years ago and had it delivered to him last time. He wore a jade hairpin on his head, his beard was trimmed neatly, and he groomed himself very neatly.

However, his face has become much thinner, there are gray hairs on the temples, and there are fine lines on his smooth forehead and corners of his eyes.

He suddenly aged several years.

Chen Afu burst into tears and shouted again, "Dad."

"Fu'er, it's really Fu'er," Chen Shiying was startled for a moment, then quickly got off the kang, with water in his eyes, and said, "Fu'er, dad can still see you."

This was ancient times, otherwise, Chen Afu would definitely throw himself into his arms and cry.

Chen Afu pulled his sleeve and said, "Dad, you are a good official. Not only can you see your daughter, but you can also go out with dignity in the future."

Chen Shiying smiled and nodded, then said to Chu Lingxuan, "Son-in-law, hurry up, hurry up, sit on the kang, the ground is cold." He pulled Chen Afu and sat on the kang.

It was very cold in the house, so the charcoal pot was not burned, but the kang was burned. Sitting on the kang makes people feel warm. Although the furnishings in the room are simple, they are spotlessly clean. It seemed that these sergeants took good care of Chen Shiying, and he did not suffer.

After sitting down, Chen Shiying asked Chen Afu, "How are your mother, your mother, and your younger brothers and sisters?"

Chen Afu directly ignored the question of "your milk" and said, "My mother is fine, but she misses dad so much that she often sheds tears. My younger brothers and sisters are fine too. They all hope that dad will come home soon and be reunited. And Chao'er, who is fat, He looks a lot like dad..."

Chen Shiying was very pleased to hear this, nodded, and asked, "Is my sister okay?"

Chen Afu said, "Fortunately, my mother also hopes that dad can be cleared of charges as soon as possible."

Chu Lingxuan told him again that he had sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to find witnesses... The snowstorm in the north is serious now, and it is not known when the disaster will end. The emperor and the courtiers are all focusing on disaster relief, and his affairs have to move forward. dragged……

Chen Shiying said, "What do I have to do? Disaster relief is the top priority. Your Majesty, be merciful..."

When he said that the emperor was kind, Chen Shiying's voice was choked with sobs and he even arched his hands to the north.

The few people talked for more than a quarter of an hour, and General Lin's voice came from the hall, "Master Chu, Master Chen, the time for visitation has come."

The three of them got off the kang, Chen Afu's tears flowed out again, and Chen Shiying's eyes were also red.

Chen Afu hugged his arm and said, "Dad, please relax. You have not committed any major crime, and you have such great achievements. Your son-in-law is also outside helping, so dad will be fine."

Chen Shiying patted her hand and said, "People are doing it, but God is watching. The things your grandmother did have always been on my father's mind. For so many years, my father has been anxious and uneasy, for fear of being exposed, his reputation will be ruined, and his official position will be ruined." I can't sit still either. Now that I'm fine, my father's heart feels lighter now that he has said it all. If you don't want to be an official, then don't be an official. This is retribution. Don't be too embarrassed for your son-in-law. Hey, you just wronged my sister and Fu'er. If not Mrs. Ding wants to get more money. If it weren't for my sister's wit and forbearance, she would have been sold to the mountains. I don't know if you two would have survived. If that happened, dad would have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of his life."

Chen Afu added, "Dad, you must take good care of yourself. Your official position and reputation are all external things. Dad, you must take care of yourself. You are the god of the family. If you fall, what will happen to the family?"

"Okay, dad will do it." Chen Shiying said.

General Lin's voice came in again, "It's time."

Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan saluted Chen Shiying, and they all walked to the door. Chen Shiying said again, "Fu'er, don't blame your mother too much. No matter what, she gave birth to her father. It's not easy."

Chen Afu pretended not to hear this, and turned around and said to Chen Shiying, "My mother is very difficult. She is a good wife and mother. Don't worry, Dad, I will comfort her."

On the carriage, Chen Afu said to Chu Lingxuan depressedly, "My father is too emotional. That evil woman hurt him like this and still protected her."

Chu Lingxuan said with a smile, "My father-in-law does have some womanly kindness. However, he should have guessed that you would pass Zhao's evil deeds to the elders of the Chen family, and you were interceding for Zhao in disguise."

Chen Afu snorted coldly, "That evil old woman has done many evil things and harmed many people. She should have been severely punished long ago."

Chu Lingxuan said, "Say this in front of me. Never say it in front of others, especially elders. Many people think of their father-in-law. No matter how evil parents and elders are, they cannot be said to be evil. Otherwise, it would be extremely unfilial."

When the two returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dusk. Chu Lingxuan was directly invited to the outer study room.

Chen Afu returned to Zhuxuan. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he could hear the crying of the two brothers. They must be starving.

Chen Afu hurriedly walked in and stood in front of the charcoal pot in the living room to dispel the cold air before entering the east room, where two boys were being held and coaxed by their mother.

She said to the two little brothers, "Good darlings, wait a minute. Mother will feed you after she cleans her hands."

The two brothers heard their mother's voice, but when they saw that her mother had not come to feed them, her crying became even louder, as if she was about to tear down the roof. Today they are three months old. They were weighed in the morning. Brother Yu is fifteen pounds and Brother Ming is fourteen and a half pounds. They are growing very well. Moreover, the little guy can already laugh and raise his head. Lord Chu said that he had never seen such a smart child, and Chu Lingxuan was far behind...

Chen Afu went to clean his face and hands, and wiped the milk bottle with a hot towel before feeding the children.

There was a mistake in the previous chapter, thank you for reminding me. The two children look like Lord Chu. Qingquan made a mistake in remembering it and has changed it. Dear friends, you can take a look again.
