Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

On the 16th day of the winter lunar month, Chu Lingxuan went to the capital with several witnesses. Fu Zongbing knew that something had happened to Chen Shiying, so he gave Chu Lingxuan enough convenience to save his face.

Today, Chen Afu is going to add makeup to Chen Aman, because Aman will leave for the capital tomorrow to be married, and will marry into the Yang family on the 30th of the winter lunar month.

On the first day, Chen Afu asked for leave for Dabao and Alu. They both have a good relationship with Chen Aman and want to spend the day together. The two of them are not going to school anymore, and Chu Lingzhi's child is also on vacation and going to play together.

At this time, Chen Afu took all the children and the animal house to Chen Shi's house.

At the beginning of this month, Chen Shi and Zhang came to borrow one hundred taels of silver from Chen Afu, saying that it was a box of silver for Chen Aman, and that Chen Shi would return it after dividends at the end of the year. He also said that they would rent a courtyard house in the capital for Aman to marry. Originally, Yang Mingyuan wanted to give them a house for Aman to get married, but Chen Shi was unwilling, saying there was no point in waiting for his daughter to be married at his son-in-law's house.

Chen Afu thought that he had a three-bedroom house in the capital and let them live there, which would save money and look good.

Chen Shihe and Zhang were very happy and kept thanking Chen Afu.

Chen Afu smiled and said, We are all relatives, so don't be so polite. Ayu is capable, Atang is eager to learn, Aman is filial, and the good days of the third uncle and the third aunt are ahead.

Zhang said happily, Amitabha, my aunt lends you auspicious words.

Mrs. Zhang is wearing the silk dress that Chen Afu gave her two years ago, which has turned white after washing, and the silver hairpin on her head that Chen Afu gave her at that time, which Mrs. Hu has not yet finished wearing. Chen Shi was well dressed because he was the owner of the restaurant. Comparing the two people, it seems that Zhang is several years older than Chen Shi.

Now, Mrs. Zhang not only hates Mr. Hu, but also complains about Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye.

It is true that they earn much more money from a three-bedroom apartment than from a large apartment, but their expenses are also much higher. They say they are so rich, but they are still causing famine. Dafang said how poor he was, but he kept buying fields and land and needed money to buy a house.

Because there is Chen Afu in the second room, the first room doesn’t dare to mess with him and has to fawn over him. And because Chen Ming secretly gave him one hundred taels of personal money, the first house felt that Chen Ming was much more generous than Chen Shi, and he respected the second house even more. The first bedroom was not as polite to the third bedroom as it was to the second bedroom. The whole family came to eat and stay without feeling anything wrong. Especially Hu, who looked like he deserved to be eaten by them.

Because of this, Zhang and Chen Shi often quarreled.

Fortunately, Dafang finally had his own yard in Fucheng. After coming to Fucheng a few days ago, he did not live in a third-bedroom apartment, but in his own home.

Before the carriage that Chen Ahfu and the others were riding in reached the entrance of the alley, they saw Chen Atang leading Chen Dahu and standing there waiting. Seeing the Chu family's carriage and horses coming, Chen Atang asked Chen Dahu to run home to report the news, and he got into the carriage where the Alu boys were sitting.

The carriage came to the door, and Chen Shi, Zhang and Ayu were already there to greet them. Ayu made a special trip to pick up Aman. Tomorrow Aman and Zhang will go to the capital together. On the 25th, Chen Shi took Atang to the capital.

Chen Afu's family is the absolute distinguished guests of Chen Shi's family. They welcomed the distinguished guests in with a haha. Not only Chen Shi's family, but also the guests bowed to say hello.

There are many guests from the Chen family today. The first and second bedrooms have already arrived, as well as some guests from Fucheng, Zhang's natal family, and even Hu Laowu and his wife.

A few days ago, the first and second bedrooms moved into their new homes and invited guests. Because Chen Afu was busy with Chen Shiying's affairs, he only gave gifts but no one came. As long as Chen Ming and Wang live in their new home, A Lu will also go back to live there.

In order to avoid people disturbing Chen Afu's peace, Chen Shi and Zhang specially prepared a room in the east chamber for Chen Afu and his family to rest.

Chen Afu asked two mothers to carry a pair of twins and Li Xuan to that room, while she took Alu's children to add makeup to Chen Aman.

Because Chen Afu has always liked Chen Aman and has a good relationship with the Yang family, he was very generous in adding makeup. Two pieces of brocade, two colorful cotton satin quilts, two red gold hairpins, and fifty taels of silver. Of course, this is just a gift for Chen Aman. The gift to congratulate the Yang family is much larger. It will be sent by Manager Luo in the capital on behalf of Chu Lingxuan and his wife.

Alu, Dabao, Chu Lingyan, and Chu Lingzhi each added two taels of silver, and Luo's mother added ten taels of silver on behalf of the Luo family.

Chen Aman wore a pink half-arm and a water-red dress, and her young and delicate face was full of shyness and happiness.

She blushed and thanked him.

Mrs. Zhang even narrowed her eyes with a smile and said exaggeratedly, Oh my, my third uncle and my third aunt have accepted Ah Fu's love. Then she lowered her head and said to the children, Thank you, brothers and sisters from a wealthy family, for your kindness. I made a special trip to put on my Aman’s makeup, it’s so honorable.”

When Mrs. Hu saw Chen Afu coming, she pulled Chen Aju to follow her to see how she was adding makeup.

Seeing so many good things, as well as five large silver ingots worth ten taels, Hu's eyes could hardly pull them out. She giggled and said, Afu is so generous, even taking so much for a few children. Aju, you have to learn from Aman and please your sister Afu well. If she leaks her fingers, it will be enough for you to live a lifetime. .”

These words were too vulgar and explicit, making Mrs. Zhang and Chen Aman blush with anger. Admit it, it’s a given that they are trying to curry favor with Chen Afu for money. Don't admit it, but I'm afraid of ruining Chen Afu's good intentions.

Chen Afu frowned and said hurriedly, Aman and I have a close relationship as sisters, and there is no such thing as flattery.

Old Mrs. Chen also followed and scolded Mrs. Hu, You stinky bitch, don't talk, it's embarrassing. Then she smiled and said to Chen Afu, Afu, don't laugh at your uncle, she is just a rude person. woman.

Chen Afu had nothing to say. She wanted to relax and talk quietly with Chen Amanqing today, but there were so many noisy people in the room. Many strangers secretly stared at her and Miss Chu. There were also a few women who had nothing to say and wanted to have a relationship with her. She had to get up and lead Chu Hanyan to her cabin.

Mrs. Hu pulled Chen Aju into the hut again, but was blocked by Luo's mother. They watched eagerly as Chen Afu and others left the house with Mrs. Wang.

Chen Aju had never been convinced by Chen Afu from the bottom of her heart, but she was forced by my mother to follow Chen Afu shamelessly, which greatly damaged her self-esteem. Now that she was blocked from the outside, she was so angry that her eyes were red, and she tried her best to break away from Hu's hand and walk away. opened.

Madam Hu was also angry and ran over to complain to the old lady, That Madam Zhang is really looking down on others. She prepared a separate room for Ah Fu, but did not prepare a separate room for her mother-in-law.

Old Mrs. Chen scolded, This is how the third daughter-in-law knows how to behave. Now that Ah Fu is a nobleman, and with such a delicate brother and sister, he naturally wants to be quiet. My old lady is just a country woman, and she wants a separate house. Can you become an immortal? The life of the third child's family is easy, not only because my third son is shrewd, but also because he married a good wife who knows how to make plans. Oh, my poor eldest son, who has done the most for his brothers, why did he marry a fool like you? Women. You are greedy, unscrupulous, and terribly stupid. She pointed at Hu Laowu, who was joking with people in the distance, and said, You and Hu Laowu are still siblings. If Hu Laowu's If you learn even one point of shrewdness, your family will not live like this. The eldest son's family is better off, and I have already gone to the second room to enjoy the blessings...

Mrs. Hu was wronged by being scolded. She knows more about current affairs now, okay? Knowing that Chen Afu could not be offended, she did not dare to say anything about Chen Afu behind his back. She even respected Mrs. Wang. She is the eldest sister-in-law, and her husband has raised two younger brothers. Is it possible that she has to provide for both younger siblings?

It is already the middle of winter, the weather is not very cold yet, and the sun is shining brightly. So far, there has been no snow this year, which has not happened before. Several children were playing with the Animal House in the yard, which made Li Xuan in the house very envious and wanted to go out.

Chen Afu took him out and told Atang and Alu to take care of him so that no one could scare him.

Started to eat.

There is a separate table in Chen Afu's room. Only Chen Afu, Wang and their children eat here. It can be seen that the most exquisite food is piled on this table, and the most exquisite dishes are also laid out.

Although Chen Shi's family does not have such high praise for Chen Afu, Chen Afu's impression of them will not be bad. However, Chen Afu was undoubtedly extremely happy to be respected in this way. Mrs. Wang was even more happy, feeling that they remembered their feelings and gave Chen Ming face.

Mrs. Hu also wanted to drag Chen Aju in to eat, but was blocked by the servants again. Chen Afu and Mrs. Wang pretended not to hear.

Madam Hu is now not only trying her best to please Chen Afu, but also asking Chen Aju to please Chen Afu. In her opinion, Chen Aman got that noble marriage all because of Chen Afu. Chen Afu also added so much makeup that if he were left in a country house, he would last a lifetime. I have established a good relationship with Chen Afu and will not suffer any loss.

Chen Afu was helpless. His mother was stupid and delayed the child. Chen Aju is much more diligent now, but her temper is still a bit awkward. If I am more trustworthy, and with my increasingly stronger family, life will not be difficult in the future. Fortunately, Mr. Gao is smart and can handle things clearly. Dahu, Daya, and Dalong will not be delayed like Chen Aju.

After the meal, Mrs. Wang hugged Brother Yu and Brother Ming for a while, kissed Chen Dabaoxiang for a while, and Chen Afu was about to leave.

Originally, they were planning to leave after dinner, but several children got sweaty from playing. Although they wiped them with dry cloth, they still wanted to go back and take a shower to prevent them from getting sick. In addition, Mrs. Hu would lead Chen Aju to get close to her from time to time, and Chen Aju looked unhappy, which made people upset.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Chen Afu was about to leave, she said, Afu will go to our new house to have a look, let the children take a bath in my house, and play until dinner before going back.

Chen Afu had long wanted to play at their house and nodded in agreement.

They said goodbye to Chen Shi's family and left. Chen Ming didn't leave, he wanted to stay here to help entertain the guests.

Seeing Mrs. Hu pulling Chen Aju to follow her again, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, Sister-in-law, you should help entertain the guests here and learn how to marry a girl.

Mrs. Hu said, I've already married a daughter, why do I still need to learn?

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, When I married Alan, my sister-in-law's family was just a mess. Now she is a landlord and a boss. How can we be the same?

Ms. Zhang, who was seeing off the guests, also smiled and said to Ms. Hu, Yes, Ah Ju won't look for trouble in the future. My sister-in-law should also let her learn how to deal with people in the city.

After hearing this, Mr. Hu gave up.

Seeing the envious faces of Atang and Dahu, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, Dahu, just come and play with us. When the uncle and sister-in-law go home in the evening, they take a detour to my house to pick him up. Forget it about Atang, you can't do it today. To entertain guests.”

This place is relatively close to Chen Ming's house, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to take a carriage.

This is a curved three-in house. The location is also relatively good. It's quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Just outside the alley is the lively North Street.

The yard is relatively large, planted with trees and flowers, there are shaped rockeries in the front yard, and there is a small pavilion in the backyard, which has been repainted to make the house appear newer. Only relatively wealthy families can afford to live in Dingzhou Prefecture.

Chen Afu looked around, smiled and nodded, saying that it was good, even if Alu married a wife in the future, it would be enough to live in.

Wang laughed and said, On the first day we moved in, your father said that he never dared to dream of having such a big courtyard in Dingzhou Mansion. He is so blessed by Ah Fu.

Everyone entered the west room of the upper room and asked Aunt Mu to lead the people to boil water and give the boys a bath. In addition to Miss Chu and the two little boys sleeping in the room, A Lu, as the owner, led several other boys to play in the backyard.

There were no outsiders here. Wang asked about Chen Shiying's situation again. Chen Afu was afraid that she would be worried, so he only said a few words to reassure her.

Wang also said that in a few days, Chen Ming and she would take Alu and Chen Shi and his son to the capital, not only to marry Aman, but also to broaden their horizons in the capital.

Chen Afu said, Don't stay in the capital for too long and come back early. We will return to the Hou Mansion in the capital in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, but I don't want to take Dabao back. Some people in the second room of the Hou Mansion are not very friendly to me. Dabao is sensitive and thoughtful. Seriously, I don’t want him to be wronged. My parents will live in the General’s Mansion when they come back, so I can rest assured that Dabao won’t be too lonely.”

It’s the New Year, and Chen Afu must take his children back to the capital to reunite with the old Marquis at the Marquis’ Mansion. This is not only because the whole family must be reunited during the New Year, but also because the Chu family’s direct grandchildren must be brought to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and even more because of the hints in the kit. It is very likely that in the twelfth lunar month of this year, the first month and February of next year, major events related to the fate of the Chu family will happen in these three months.

But they couldn't take Dabao back. Although Chen Afu was very reluctant to give up, he had to do this for Dabao's safety.

She was afraid that Dabao would be lonely, and for his absolute safety, she had to ask Chen Ming's family to spend the New Year with him at the General's Mansion.

Originally, she could wait until the end of the twelfth lunar month and return to the capital with Chu Lingxuan. But the old monk said that the snow is serious at the end of the year, and the old Houye was afraid that if he left too late and the weather was bad, people of all ages would easily get into trouble on the road. Now that the river has been closed, we can only go back by carriage. Besides, she was also worried about Chen Shiying in the capital.

Mrs. Wang was surprised and said, That kid Dabao is very thoughtful. If you leave him here alone, will he be willing to do it?

Chen Afu sighed, He must not be willing to do it anymore, so I have to give him a break. I will take him back after I straighten out the relationship in the Hou Mansion.

Wang said, Then you have to coax him well before leaving.

Chen Afu nodded.

Today the two chapters are combined into one, only one chapter, and tomorrow the normal two chapters will begin. A relative said that there were too many things about the Chen family, so Qingquan would be careful to write less. For the sake of future plot development, there will definitely be some involvement, not too much.
