Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu understood Xiao Shiyi's thoughts best. Seeing him confused and unable to speak, he knew that he was feeling sorry for Mr. Chu, but was embarrassed that he could not help. She squeezed Xiao Eleven's hand gently and said softly, Good boy.

Xiao Shiyi was inexplicably moved. The person who understood him best was indeed his mother. He sniffed his nose and said loudly to Chen Afu, Before my mother-in-law returns to Dingzhou, tell me that I will bring something back to Grandma Chen, Uncle Atang, Uncle Brother, and Dahu. What they did to me in the past Okay, I’ll always remember it.”

He is such a smart and good boy who remembers emotions. Chen Afu nodded and said hello.

The Marquis Chu and the Marquis Lao at the other table also heard the implication and were very moved.

After the meal, Chen Afu sent the guests away and sent Chu Hanyan and the two brothers to rest.

After Chen Afu and Xiao Yu'er took a bath, they hugged Xiao Yu'er and teased her for a while before coaxing her to sleep. After that, she entered the space.

Xiao Yu'er is now more than ten months old, and I haven't dared to let her enter the space since last month. Xiao Nizi is so smart that she not only has memories, but can also speak several single sounds, such as ye, mother, father, brother, sister, eat, treasure... The first word she can say is ye, and there are more than nine words. She would have said it when she was just over a month old. The Marquis of Chu was very happy at that time and said that she was smart, sensible, filial and considerate. Nowadays, the two brothers are taking a back seat in the eyes of Mr. Chu, and his first favorite is Xiao Yu'er. The wealthy and arrogant Lord Chu expresses his love by throwing money at her, and the dowry he has prepared for Xiao Yu'er has already been piled up in several large boxes.

During this time, Chen Afu was trying to wean Xiao Yuer again. She was fed breast milk only once a day, and goat milk boiled with agarwood residue was fed to her the other time. The little guy didn't want to and cried whenever he drank goat's milk. Chen Afu had a hard time letting people feed him. He didn't want to take Xiao Yu'er with him to Dingzhou Prefecture this time. She was too young and it was inconvenient.

The golden swallow is building a house.

Chen Afu smiled and said, Why, are you working harder today? It has been a long time since it repaired the house.

Golden Swallow glanced resentfully at the golden house on the tree and chirped, Beibei is still sleeping, and Xiao Yu'er can't come in and let others play. They have nothing to do but work.

Chen Afu took a closer look at the work under its mouth. Although it was only a small part of the work, it still didn't look like a house, but like a shining golden bird. It's a little bigger than a baby's fist, and even the feathers are clearly visible. The eyes are inlaid with small gems. It's so ingenious that it's even better than those carved by the top craftsmen. Said, Baby, this little bird is so beautiful. Is it a decoration on the golden roof?

Jin Yanzi raised her head and said, No, it's a wedding gift prepared for Shou Dabao and sister Yan'er. In the future, I will make several more, one for each of Yu Yu, Ming Ming, and Xiao Yu'er, and give them to them when they get married. .”

Chen Afu was so moved that he said, Oh, baby, you are so kind. You even thought of giving them these gifts. It makes you tired.

Jin Yanzi chirped and said with a smile, Who makes people like mommy and also like them? No matter how tired I am, people are still happy.

Chen Afu picked it up movedly, kissed it a few more times, and thanked it for the children.

At the beginning of winter, weaning was successful, and Xiao Yuer drank goat milk every time. Chen Afu had basically straightened out some matters in the mansion, and handed over the daily affairs to Nanny Li, preparing to leave for Dingzhou on the fifth day of winter.

Half a month ago, the Queen Mother's physical condition suddenly deteriorated, and Mrs. Chu had to go to the palace half the time to attend to her illness. The emperor's health was also getting worse day by day, and he rarely appeared in court anymore. Most of the time, the prince handled the affairs of the court.

Chen Afu had a good impression of the Queen Mother and hoped that she could live longer. He often made her snacks and soups with added ingredients for the third lady to bring into the palace, but it still failed to make her condition better.

Jin Yanzi said that perhaps the Queen Mother's end was coming soon, and there was nothing anyone could do about the cycle of life and death, including Yan Chenxiang. The green bird's nest might prolong her life, but it couldn't be given to her. It can cure diseases, but cannot prolong life. It cannot go against nature.

As for the emperor, Chen Afu had no interest in him and did not dare to give him food.

After Chen Ming and Wang heard that Chen Afu was going back to Dingzhou, they also expressed their intention to return to their hometown with their daughter.

On the fourth day of winter, Xiao Shiyi sent people to send many things to Chu Mansion. He is also busy now. In addition to studying, he also has to go to Cining Palace and Wanqing Palace to attend to illnesses.

Chen Ayu and Chen Aman also sent a lot of things, some for the third bedroom, and some for Mrs. Chen and the first bedroom. Chu Ling'an and Shen also sent some things for Chen and Chu Lingqi's family.

Chen Afu secretly thought that it was a good thing that Chu Lingqi was brought up by the old Marquis. If he were brought up by the second master and Li, not only would his character be bad, but he would also not know how to behave.

Early in the morning on the fifth day of the lunar month, before dawn, Chen Afu and Xiao Yuer had finished their meal. Chen Afu went into the bedroom again and kissed Xiao Yu'er who was sleeping soundly. He went to the wing room to kiss the two brothers, and then took Chu Hanyan and Chu Hanyan to the outer courtyard to take a carriage.

There was light snow falling in the sky and the cold wind was howling. The two of them were wearing jackets, cotton skirts and cloaks, but they still felt extremely cold. Before, Chen Afu didn't want to take the little girl there because he was afraid that she would suffer. But the little girl said she missed her grandma and insisted on going.

In the outer courtyard, well-dressed Chen Ming and Wang were already waiting here. They greeted each other and got into the carriage. There was a stove in the carriage, and Mrs. Yu was there, so it was quite warm.

Now that the canal is blocked, they can only go back by carriage. We rested at the inn for the night and continued our journey before dawn the next day. Finally, we rushed back to Dingzhou Prefecture at Shenshichu in the afternoon.

Chen Afu opened the curtains and took a look. He saw the gate of Emei from a distance and felt very excited. After nearly a year away, I'm back again.

As soon as they arrived at the North City Gate, Manager Yang, who had been waiting there, came to the car and reported, Grandma, Abbot Liaochen has gone to live in Luojiazhuang.

Chen Afu was stunned, opened the curtains and asked, What, what's going on?

Manager Yang said in a low voice, Yesterday at noon, Concubine Shu sent her chamberlain to the mansion to scold Abbot Chen, saying that she... Manager Yang paused, feeling that it was hard to say those unpleasant words, and then said, Said Chen. The abbot's six roots were impure. After becoming a monk, he still lived in his ex-husband's house, ruined other people's marital relationships, and instigated other people's marital relationships. Yes, yes... Abbot Liaochen was very angry... As soon as the eunuch left, she went to Luojiazhuang. The second master and second grandma had no choice but to live with her in Luojiazhuang.

Chen Afu was anxious and angry, and asked someone to tell Chen Ming and Wang that they should go back to their home first, while she took Miss Chu straight to Luojiazhuang.
