Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Returning to the capital with Mrs. Chu and the others, there were also New Year's gifts for the Marquis's Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion, and the Protector's Mansion. The New Year's gifts given to them by these three families also came to Dingzhou with Mrs. Chu.

Not only Chu Hanyan and Chen Dabao were not used to it, but even Chen Afu was not used to it.

Moreover, Mr. Chu Laohou also hinted that he might not come to live in Dingzhou Mansion again after the new year. If he doesn't come, Chu Lingzhi will definitely not come again. Li Xuan is no longer afraid of meeting people and has become a lot smarter. Maybe he will not come back again.

While Chen Afu was disappointed, he also guessed that the situation in the capital was more subtle. The power of the Ninth Prince and the Chu family should have become stronger and stronger, and they no longer have to worry about Rong Zhao using tricks to lure her to the princess's mansion. So as a reborn and ambitious second prince, he should be more worried, right?

Yes, in recent months, Chu Lingxuan has been out often and rarely stayed home. This time it’s even worse, I’ve been out for a month and a half...

After they left, the days were quieter.

Chen Afu watched the children playing during the day and listened to Mr. Song telling her some housework. At night, she would take Xiao Yuer and the little bed into the space and watch Golden Swallow play with her. Jin Bei also likes this little sister. As soon as she enters, the red hair on his little head becomes even redder.

Chen Afu waited until midnight to take Xiao Yu'er out, fed her milk, and then Mother Li cleaned and washed her little bottom. After sending the servants off, she put Xiao Yu'er into the room, slept alone in the bedroom, and waited until dawn to take Xiao Yu'er out.

Because she sleeps less at night, she sleeps more during the day, and she sleeps for an hour and a half during the afternoon break.

On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ms. Jiang came to the mansion to say goodbye. In two days, she would take her children back to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Chen Shiying will also go to the capital when the Yamen is sealed.

They also talked about Chen Yuhui's beating. Jiang said that she received a letter from her father, Master Jiang, a few days ago, telling her about Chen Yuhui. Chen Shiying was furious. She hated He Er for being cruel and ruthless, and she was also angry that her daughter was not living up to expectations.

Chen Shiying not only wrote to Master Jiang, asking him to help look after Chen Yuhui. At the same time, he sent someone to send a letter to Chen Yuhui, saying that if life really couldn't go on, they would separate. Anyway, everyone knew that He Er was not a thing...

When Mr. Jiang talked about this, he became upset and burst into tears. Chen Yuqing is seventeen years old at the turn of the new year and has not yet found a suitable family. What Chen Shiying meant was that if it didn't work out, it would be better to find her a poor family. As long as the young man is good enough and his family gives him more dowries, he can live a better life.

When thinking of that sensible third sister, Chen Afu also felt sorry for her. She had helped talk to several families, but nothing came of it.

At noon on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Lingxuan finally came back.

He was dusty and covered with snowflakes. He hurried to the main courtyard as soon as he got off his horse. He knew that Chen Afu was taking a break at noon, so he didn't let his servants report him. He took off his cloak before entering the door, and stood in front of the charcoal basin in the living room to dispel the cold air before entering the bedroom.

The bedroom is as warm as spring and has a subtle fragrance. Next to the big bed is a small bed, where both adults and children are sleeping soundly.

The corners of his lips curled up. I traveled day and night just to see them earlier. He walked gently to the bedside and looked at the little man first.

The little person has a pink mass, long eyeliner, a small nose, and a tender pink mouth. As if he felt uncomfortable being stared at all the time, he moved his little head slightly, licking his petal-like mouth, revealing a little pink tip of his tongue.

Chu Lingxuan's heart felt as if it was filled with the spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers, warm and soft. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss his daughter, but thought he hadn't washed his face yet, so he stopped. After looking at the little girl, he took two steps closer to look at his wife.

His wife was rounder than before he left, and she was still so beautiful, so beautiful that he, he... He couldn't restrain himself, and without caring about much, he sat on the edge of the bed and kissed her.

Chen Afu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt that he was being kissed by his husband. Yes, even if she was not awake, she could still feel that it was her husband's kiss - the familiar taste, the familiar entanglement, the familiar touch... She was half asleep, and her lips and teeth were attached to his. Suddenly, she felt a sense of clarity. Was her husband, whom she thought about day and night, back?

She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that familiar face right in front of her eyes, still enjoying it with her eyes closed. She shook her head and said two words with difficulty, "Ling Xuan..."

Chu Lingxuan raised his head and saw his wife looking at him with eyes open in surprise. He smiled and said, "Well, I'm back. My daughter is very cute and beautiful." He wiped her face with his thumb and said regretfully. , "It's a pity that I wasn't with you when you gave birth to her."

Chen Afu held his hand and smiled, "My daughter was considerate and didn't bother me. The birth went smoothly."

Dinner was placed on the Kang in the east room, and Chen Afu also served. She and Chu Lingxuan led Chen Dabao and Chu Hanyan to eat on the Kang table. Mother Lin and Mother Jiang held Brother Yu and Brother Ming and fed them on the small table on the ground.

Xiao Yu'er was also held by Mother Li and sitting on the side. She was already awake, looking at them with clear eyes, and occasionally spitting out two bubbles.

Brother Yu and Brother Ming looked at their sister while eating. As soon as he saw his sister blowing bubbles, he shouted excitedly, "Sister, bubbles, bubbles."

The interaction between the three little guys made the room more lively.

Chen Afu feels very accomplished. He has five children at such a young age. Although having a son will always return him, he is still with him now.

Chu Lingxuan had the same idea, and he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Alu, Dabao and Miss Chu all started taking a long vacation. The government prepared two carts of things to send Mr. Liao back to his hometown of Jiaodong.

On New Year's Eve, although it was still cold, the sun was shining brightly and the wind was not that strong. This morning, Chu Lingxuan took Dabao, Miss Chu, and the two brothers to Jingtang Nunnery. He wanted to take Liao Chen home to celebrate the New Year.

Before leaving, he repeatedly asked the children to find a way to influence their grandma and let her go home for two days. Chen Afu also specially drew a portrait of Xiao Yu'er and asked Chu Lingxuan to show it to Chen.

Chu Lingxuan looked at the big-headed doll on the paper in amazement and said with a smile, "It really looks like my wife actually has this ability."

Chen Dabao said proudly, "I've known for a long time that my mother has this ability. No matter what, my mother can draw it, and she can draw it very vividly."

Chen Afu smiled and said angrily, "How can my mother be so powerful?"

Chu Hanyan helped, "Brother is right, my mother is so powerful."

Chen Afu waited until dark before he saw them coming back dejectedly. They failed to persuade Liao Chen to return to the "Chu family".

Apart from Chu Lingxuan, the most sad person was Chu Hanyan. She pulled Chen Afu's sleeve and said with a choked voice, "We said a lot of good things, even grandma shed tears, but she still didn't want to go home."
