Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Jiang said "Hmm" before Chen Afu sat down.

Jiang said to Chen Yuhui again, "Girl Hui, your father was born and raised in the countryside. He is an out-and-out country boy. But he was also a prostitute more than ten years ago. Everyone said that he was rich and elegant. Very knowledgeable. How can you speak so poorly of country people?"

Chen Yuhui stood up quickly with tears in her eyes and said, "What the mother taught me is that it was the daughter who was wrong." She was not stupid. Now that her grandmother was half-paralyzed and her biological mother was dead, she would not be in trouble if she offended this woman who controlled her own destiny. .

Jiang said "Yes" again, and Chen Yuhui sat down.

Jiang taught both girls a lesson, but others knew who she really taught them.

Jiang asked Chen Afu again, "Are you ready for the clothes to go to the Chu Mansion for the banquet?"

Chen Afu said, "Ready."

Jiang nodded and said, "I know you are a capable boy, but you may not like the clothes made by the embroiderer in the mansion. So I didn't prepare any clothes for you, only a set of headdresses."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongfeng held up a small box with lacquered flowers, which contained several red gold and jade-inlaid hairpins including hairpins, hairpins, and earrings. They were extremely beautiful.

Chen Afu stood up with a smile, thanked Jiang, and took the jewelry box.

Jiang said to Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia, "You two should also prepare well and go with your eldest sister the day after tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, two more girls brought up two trays containing clothes and jewelry boxes. The two sisters thanked Jiang with a smile on their face and took the clothes and jewelry.

Seeing the confusion in Chen Yuhui's eyes, Jiang said to her, "It's only been two months since Aunt Tang died. She is your biological mother after all. You should not go out as a guest for three months. Therefore, you can't go with you the day after tomorrow." Sisters and sisters are going to Chu Mansion together."

Chen Yuhui's eyes were red with anger, and she was extremely unconvinced. She felt that Jiang was looking for excuses to deliberately suppress her. She was about to turn fifteen, but she had not yet been engaged. How could she not be allowed to attend such a banquet that gathered all the ladies of Dingzhou Prefecture, and even ladies from the capital and provincial capitals. If he goes, he will be lucky enough to be favored by a lady, and he will have a future.

No matter how much Aunt Tang is her biological mother, she is just an aunt. How could she be locked up in the house and not allowed to go out because of her aunt's death?

I was thinking this in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. I wanted to wait for my father to come back and try again.

Time flew by while talking and laughing, and Chen Yulan came here after school.

He saluted Mr. Jiang, then happily pulled Chen Afu's sleeve and started laughing.

As dusk fell, Chen Shiying came back. Jiang stood up and led the children and servants to salute him.

Chen Shiying nodded to Mr. Jiang first, looked at Chen Afu and said with a smile, "Fu'er is here, stay at home for a few more days this time, and spend more time with your father and your mother." He spoke to several children one by one.

He had a kind attitude, greeted every one of his children, and spoke softly to everyone. Even his two aunts were bathed in his gentle gaze.

This big family, at least now, is extremely harmonious.

Chen Shiying and his wife led their five children to eat at the same table without sharing a table.

After the meal, Chen Shiying and Jiang talked about going to the Chu Mansion to attend the birthday banquet. He asked the three Chen Afu sisters to prepare well. He also said that Aunt Tang had just died and Chen Yuhui should not go out as a guest.

"Dad, I..." Chen Yuhui looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Chen Shiying said, "Father knows that you and your aunt have a good relationship, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so Hui'er should also take care of himself and not be too sad."

Then with a wave of his hand, the children all retreated.

After they left, Jiang made a cup of tea with his own hands and presented it to Chen Shiying, and briefly talked about the quarrel between Chen Afu and Chen Yuhui. Finally, he added, "As the eldest sister, it is Fu'er's duty to teach her younger sisters. It's just that the method is a bit inappropriate, and I told her about it."

Chen Shiying said, "Well, Madam, you did the right thing. Fu'er grew up in the countryside, and his words were a bit too straightforward, but he didn't have any bad intentions. As for Hui'er, hey," he sighed, with a slightly gloomy face. "I am also responsible for her becoming like this. If I had not been soft-hearted and insisted on disobeying my mother, I would have handed her over to the madam for discipline..." He then asked, "How about I let the madam look after her? Is there anything suitable?"

Jiang said, "I have been asking around these days, and I think three families are not bad. I just wanted to tell the master..."

After hearing the conditions of those families, Chen Shiying pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's the young man named Wei from Zhongning County. Although he is just a scholar and will not have much future, he is a loyal young man and his family has good land. Mom, life won't be bad. If we give more dowries, Hui Yatou will live a prosperous life. With her temperament, she will only avoid trouble if she finds this kind of family, and the Wei family will treat me well for my sake. To her."

Jiang also felt that this family was the most suitable for Chen Yuhui, and was afraid that Chen Shiying would misunderstand that she deliberately did not find a good family for Chen Yuhui, so she also found two other officials' children as alternatives.

After listening to Chen Shiying's words, Mrs. Jiang hesitated and said, "I also think this family is good, but Hui Yatou's temperament and mother-in-law..." What they originally set their sights on was the eldest son of the Hou family, a third-rank general.

Chen Shiying waved her hand and said, "Hui'er is so strong, but strong people can't survive. This family is the best home for her. She cannot object to her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Madam can just take care of it. As for my mother, , I won’t tell her for now. After the matter is done, I will explain to her." He sighed again, "Hey, no matter how wrong Hui'er is, she is still my biological daughter. Madam, I still have to control her more in the future. I don't ask her to do anything. To be kind and virtuous, one must always have a conscience and be measured in doing things..."

Jiang said, "Hui'er is the master's daughter, that is, my daughter. I can do it."

Chen Shiying reached out to hold Jiang's hand and said, "In the past ten years, my husband has made great achievements in the officialdom and my family has not let me worry about it. It is because of my wife's kindness. Not only do I express my gratitude to my husband, my wife has done something for me and this family." For so many things, even the outside world has praised Madam."

Jiang's eyes were a little red and she said, "I don't care what others say about me, as long as the master knows my heart, everything will be worth it."

Chen Shiying patted her hand and said sincerely, "I know Madam's heart and have always known it."

Today it was his turn to go to Aunt He's place to rest, but he still stayed in the main courtyard.

After breakfast the next day, Chen Afu and several other sisters went to greet Jiang. As soon as they said a few words, someone came to report, and the old lady started making trouble again.

Jiang's face darkened, and after looking at Chen Yuhui, he sent the sisters back and hurried to Hengshou Yuan.

When Chen Afu returned to Qiangweiyuan, he heard from his servants that the shopkeeper Zeng of the trading company had arrived.
