Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

After the meal, Aunt Zeng, her daughter, and several people from the Chu Mansion left.

Chen Afu put Dabao to sleep and asked Qiuyue to take the gift and go to the bedroom together.

Little girl Aman was much cuter than Chen Aju. Not only was she good-looking, but she also had a pleasant temperament. She kept holding Chen Afu's hand and couldn't bear to let go.

A few people were chatting when Zeng Shuang came. Mrs. Zhang served tea and took Chen Aman out.

According to Zeng Shuang, there is a shop that better meets Chen Afu’s requirements. The location is on Xiaofang North Street, only two blocks away from Wanxiang Street where the Chu family lives. There are many people nearby, and they are all wealthy people. The two-story shop has a courtyard with eight houses and a well.

The original asking price was 2,400 taels of silver, but he negotiated a price of 1,900 taels of silver. Because he happened to know the person selling the shop, he didn't go through the dealer, and even the handling fee was waived.

The road is so good, the shops are big, and the price is not expensive. Chen Afu nodded with satisfaction and agreed that she would go to the shop the day after tomorrow and pay if it suited her.

After Zeng Shuang talked about inviting people and applying for deeds, he left.

Before leaving, he quietly told Chen Afu that he heard from people in the General's Office that the important figures from Dingzhou were the second prince and the seventh prince, and that they were visiting Dingzhou on behalf of the emperor. Let Chen Afu pay attention when traveling. The Seventh Prince is fun. If she sees someone traveling in a big way, she must stay away.

When he said the word fun, he bit hard and his eyes were a little playful. It probably meant more than just a simple enjoyment of playing.

Chen Afu nodded.

She originally thought that since she knew all the local and military senior officials in Dingzhou, nothing major would happen in this area. Now that there are two big shots like this, it's better to be careful. Not for anything else, but for the great treasure. Although she didn't think Dabao's status was high enough to be of royal blood, the two princes would definitely bring officials with them when inspecting on behalf of the emperor...

After Dabao woke up, the yard became lively. When Chen Atang got out of school, it became even more lively. People were making noise, dogs were barking, and birds were chirping, so Zhang was happy to stay with Chen Afu, mother and son for a longer time.

Chen Shi came back after dinner. Boss Chen, who has a successful career, is wearing a brocade gown, his face is full of spring breeze, and he looks younger and more ambitious.

Chen Afu joked, Boss Chen is really becoming more and more magnanimous.

Chen Shi laughed and said, The magnanimity you have is also brought by Ah Fu. Ah Fu is the third uncle's lucky star. Since you came to the third uncle's house last year, the third uncle has been good at everything.

He also invited Chen Afu and his son to have dinner at Xinglong Restaurant tomorrow night, and also invited Guanshi Luo and his family to welcome them. The restaurant is not far from here, just three streets away.

Although Chen Afu was also curious about what Xinglong Restaurant was like, there were many people coming and going in the restaurant, and she didn't want to take Dabao to show off in public. Then he shook his head and said with a smile, We won't join in the fun. I prefer to eat alone at home with my third aunt and Aman, in peace and quiet.

Mrs. Zhang came over with some new clothes. It was she and Chen Aman who made two new clothes for each of Chen Afu and her son, both of which were made of silk.

This made Chen Afu very embarrassed and said that he was a junior, so why did he have the nerve to let his elders make clothes for him. After repeated postponements, I had no choice but to accept it.

At the end of the next day, not only Aunt Zeng and Xia Yue came, but they also brought a carriage, a driver and a guard.

The driver is Qing Bo, whom he met several times last year, and the guard's surname is Wang.

Qing Bo said that Manager Luo asked them to come here every day and go out with Ms. Chen to do errands at any time to protect her safety when traveling.

Chen Afu was grateful to Manager Luo from the bottom of his heart. This favor was what she needed most at the moment. She is closely protected by the bodyguards of the General's Office. As long as she doesn't kick the iron plate from the capital, no one dares to mess with her.

Chen Afu has already put the two brocade boxes containing jewelry and jewelry into his bag. In addition, I brought a few panda dolls, all in large, medium and small sizes, with different shapes. It was designed by her and made by Wang. The Jade Qilin Silver Building and the Nishang Embroidery Shop are next to each other. After selling her jewelry, she would go to the embroidery shop.

She didn't dare to take Dabao out, so she called Golden Swallow out. With it accompanying Dabao, she felt relieved.

Dabao chased him until he cried, and he held on to Chen Afu's skirt and refused to let go.

Chen Afu picked him up and said, You are crying like this with Jinbao, Qiqi, Huihui, and Zhuifeng by your side. If sister Yaner finds out, she might laugh at you.

After hearing this, Dabao quickly closed his mouth tightly, but tears still flowed down unsatisfactorily. He said coquettishly, Then don't tell sister Yan'er. If she doesn't know, she won't laugh at me.

Okay, Mom, don't tell me. Chen Afu wiped his tears with a handkerchief and whispered, If Mom sells more money this time, we can buy a big shop and make a lot of money.

She kissed him again before putting him down.

Chen Afu took Xia Yue and Qiu Yue's carriages, Wang Huwei and Xue Dagui on horseback, and went to the Jade Qilin Silver Building on West Street.

In the car, Xia Yue said that Chu Lingxuan had returned to Dingzhou. But because he had to welcome the inspection of the two princes, he was too busy to even go home. I found out yesterday that my sister had returned home, so I rushed back in the middle of the night. It seems that the old Marquis and the third lady will come to Dingzhou in two days, and the Councilor's Mansion is busy now...

Chen Afu thought that when Chu Lingxuan said that the third lady would come to see her, she had already made her attitude clear, so the third lady of Chu would not visit her again, right?

With two elders, Miss Chu may not necessarily follow him home...

Thinking about my thoughts, I felt that time passed very quickly. Not long after, the Kung Fu carriage arrived at the door of the Silver Building. Qingbo went to park the car at the street corner, and several others followed Chen Afu into the silver building.

Shopkeeper Bai actually remembered her, came up to her and said with a smile, Miss, are you selling jewelry or buying jewelry today?

He smiled so hard that his eyes were as deep as the creases at the corners of his eyes. The few gems this young lady sold last time made the bank make a lot of money. Even he was a little puzzled. The gems were not big, and the quality was not very good. The main reason was that they contained a small amount of impurities and were not pure. But because of their excellent gloss, he still gave them a high price of four hundred and ten taels of silver. He felt that the price was not low.

Master Mao, who can process it, said that these gems are rare treasures. Not only does its gloss exceed that of other gemstones, but it also glows slightly in dark places. Especially the emerald, the color is as rich as the blue pool in the mountains.

A chrysanthemum gold hairpin made of those three rubies was sold for four hundred taels of silver. And the gold ring made of that emerald was sold for a high price of one thousand one hundred taels of silver.

Chen Afu didn't know what shopkeeper Bai was thinking, so he smiled directly and said, I'm a little short on money and want to sell some things to cash out.

Shopkeeper Bai was even more happy after hearing this and hurriedly invited her to the hut to talk. Chen Afu went, and everyone else was waiting outside with great interest.

When Chen Afu took out the set of hair and face given by Chen Shiying, he felt a dull pain in his heart and had the urge to take the hair and face back immediately. She pressed her chest, suppressed her thoughts, opened the brocade box, and asked, How much is this set of face masks worth?
