Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu spent a day playing in Anrong Hall and rested here for a long time. Chen Afu liked the feeling of getting along with the third lady very much. The two of them were like sisters. They would burst into laughter when they talked happily, unlike ladies who cared about proper manners.

In the evening, Chu Lingwei and Chu Lingzhi came back from school and played with Sa Sa and her son for a while. Master Chu San came back again. He told Chen Afu that Lord Chu was busy these days and had no time to see the two brothers.

He also talked about the liveliness of the court today. Many ministers were on the record, praising the emperor for his good manners in educating his children and the commendable kindness and filial piety of the princes, which made the emperor very happy. Some ministers also said that the second prince was the first to propose the "blood sacrifice", and his filial piety can be seen in the sun and the moon. Others said that Prince Rui proposed "brothers working together", which further demonstrated the prince's generosity and benevolence...

The third lady and Chen Afu were very happy to hear this. Regardless of whether the disaster complex is over, the second prince will no longer be able to take all the credit.

The third master was overjoyed when he heard that the hot pot for dinner was prepared by Chen Afu himself. Said, "I like the smell of Xuan's daughter-in-law's cooking."

The third lady smiled and said, "I know you like to eat the food cooked by Xuan's wife, so I will keep her here today to make your favorite hot pot."

The third master laughed loudly and said to her, "The one who knows me is my lady."

Chen Afu secretly laughed. If the third wife had been a professional woman in her previous life, she would have been unpopular with her colleagues. She was also able to take credit for other people's achievements, and she would do so blatantly in front of others.

After the couple finished showing off their affection, the third master asked people to invite the old master and the second master. After thinking about it, he asked people to invite the second master Chu Lingqi. Third Master Chu Ling'an is on duty today and is not at home.

Because they didn’t want to be called Li, the other female relatives of the second wife didn’t call her.

Men share a pot, women and children share a pot.

Chu Lingqi came and specially thanked the third lady and Chen Afu. After Mrs. Song fell ill, the third lady and Chen Afu both sent people to deliver valuable tonics.

The wind is howling outside, the snow is flying, the room is filled with fragrance, and the soup and meat in the pot are tumbling. While everyone was eating happily, Chu Lingqi suddenly stood up and knelt in front of the old marquis, crying uncontrollably.

The old man sighed, "I know your daughter-in-law has been wronged this time. Your daughter-in-law did the right thing. The 'Send Warmth' donation was initiated by the third daughter-in-law. It is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Of course, my family must support it." It’s my own family. Mr. Li’s short-sightedness has made your wife angry and sick. I’ve already sent someone to reprimand her.”

The third master didn't want to criticize his sister-in-law in front of his brother, so he just nodded frequently.

The third lady at another table said, "Ling Qi's wife is filial and polite, and we all like her. It's just that I got involved this time, because she suffered so much injustice because of the 'donation of silver'. Fortunately, she was rescued. If there is someone How can I feel so good about missing a flash?"

The second master's face turned red with shame. He knelt down and apologized to the old master, saying, "Dad, my son will deal with her when he gets back. Don't be angry."

The old man snorted coldly, "She is such a short-sighted person who can't tell the difference between good and evil. What's the use of trying to deal with it? Later..." He endured what he was about to say and asked Chu Lingqi again, "Are you willing to take her with you?" Taking your wife and son to work as an errand in Dingzhou Prefecture? In this way, not only will you leave home, but you can also do something to help your elder brother. "

Chu Lingqi glanced at the second master, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid of my aunt..."

When the second master heard that Chu Lingxuan mentioned Aunt Fang, his face darkened. Aunt Fang is thirty-nine years old this year. She is the second master’s first woman and the oldest one. She has a gentle temperament, knows how to advance and retreat, and has good massage skills. She is very popular with him.

When the old Marquis saw his second son with a sullen face, he was so angry that his palms itched. If his second son hadn't been disabled, he would have had the desire to do something. Cursed, "You have so many women, are you afraid that you are missing this one? You are really good to her, just let her go and enjoy the happiness with the Qier family."

Even though the old man said this, the second old man didn’t dare to hold on, so he could only nod.

The old marquis asked the third master to handle the transfer order. When the time comes, Chu Lingqi and his family will return to Dingzhou capital with Chen Afu.

After eating, Chu Lingqi sent the old man back to the outer courtyard.

The old man gave him a thousand taels of silver notes and said, "Although the Hou Mansion has not separated the families yet, you should not live in your eldest brother's house when you go to Dingzhou Mansion. You will live your own life. Not only will your life be easy, but your relationship will also be difficult. It's easy to create a quarrel. Buy a house that is your private property and allows you to live alone. I know that among you brothers, you are the poorest. You can only rely on your monthly money to save a private house, and your wife does not have much dowry. . Don’t be like your old man who is so worthless and hangs on women every day. From now on, work hard outside and your life will be better."

Chu Lingqi knelt down and kowtowed to the old man with tears in his eyes. His salary is not much, and he has to pay it to his family. With a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver, even if I never spend a penny randomly, I still have to spend it on some social activities, so I haven't even saved three hundred taels of silver until now. The money given by the old man can be put to great use.

The next day, news came out in the house that the second master and the second wife had a fight last night.

I heard that the second master smashed the second wife's head so much that it bled, and the second wife scratched the second master's face and made several red marks. The second master was so angry that he banned the second wife for three months and did not allow the younger generation and his aunt to see her.

Chen Afu laughed for a while. To deal with people like Li, one must use force.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Song brought Brother Wen to Zhuxuan.

Song's illness has been cured, but she has also lost a lot of weight and her pointed face is pale. However, the joy in his eyes was unprecedented. Brother Wen comes across as very quiet and timid, and Chen Afu has almost never spoken to him before.

Chen Afu asked Song to sit on the Kang, then smiled and carried Brother Wen onto the Kang, and asked someone to bring him snacks. He said, "Oh, my little hands are cold, please warm them up."

Mrs. Song stood up and blessed Chen Afu with her knees bent, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. My second master and I both know that third aunt and sister-in-law have helped us a lot."

Chen Afu smiled and pulled her to sit down and said, "One family does not speak the language of two families."

Mrs. Song smiled and nodded, and asked about the approximate price of the house in Dingzhou Mansion. He also said, "The second master asked me to ask my eldest sister-in-law. I first asked how my eldest sister-in-law knew this. My second master said that my eldest sister-in-law is a husband among women. He can run a dowry shop so well that he has won the favor of the emperor and the queen mother." Praise, what else don’t you know?”

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Second Master, you deserve the award. How can I be so capable?"

In his heart, Mr. Chu is really transparent. He asked Mrs. Song to tell him that they went to Dingzhou Mansion to have a private stay.

Chen Afu is a modern person and doesn't like brothers and sisters living together. Smells from far away and smells from near, and beauty comes from distance. These are all classic words from past lives.

She told Mrs. Song what she knew. He focused on the three-in house bought by Chen Ming, which was particularly suitable for them to live in.
