Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

She half stood up and asked, "Ling Xuan is back?"

Chu Lingxuan was startled, then lay down on the bed and said, "You're still up so late?" He stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms and comforted her, "Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you. Dad will come to Tangyuan tomorrow night. Let's Let's discuss it carefully...go to sleep, it's late."

Smelling the familiar smell on his body, Chen Afu also became sleepy. Before falling asleep, he said, "Jinbao flew away and went to find the three-color ball. I'm so worried. I don't know if it will be in danger..."

Chu Lingxuan was pleasantly surprised after hearing this. That golden swallow is really a magical bird. It can coax children, laugh, poop on Rong Zhao, and it actually goes to find the three-color ball again... If it can really find the three-color ball, you can take preventive measures at home. .

He comforted, "Don't worry, Jin Yanzi is smart and powerful, and will not be in danger."

The next day, when Chen Afu woke up, Chu Lingxuan was no longer there.

Hong Fei said, "The uncle has to go to the Yamen today, and Yinshi left. The uncle also said that he would come back for dinner in the evening and asked people to prepare more dishes to go with the wine..." Chen Afu nodded and waited for Dabao to come to have breakfast. The Zhuifeng family After sending him to the school, Chen Afu took out the three baptismal gifts that he was going to give to his eldest son. Four top-level silver crowns, a pair of small silver bracelets, a small silver collar, two pieces of fine velvet cloth, and let the mother-in-law carry two chickens and fifty eggs. These gifts are enough, and they are the first in Xiangluo Village.

After she accompanied Chu Hanyan and Li Xuan to play in Fuyuan for a while, she went to Luyuan. Aunt Luo also went with her carrying fifty eggs, four champions and silver coins.

Chen Ming just came back from the county town, and she and Wang were waiting for her. Seeing her coming, we went to the village together.

Hongfei helped Chen Afu walk on this familiar path. She had not walked here for a long time. The farmers in the field stood up and smiled to greet them.

"Mr. Chen Er, are you going to drink Dalong's Xisanjiu?"

Because the child's name is Chen Dalong, the villagers dare not call him Long Xiaozi as usual.

"Afu, oh, no, Grandma Chu, it's a rare trip to the village."

Chen Ming and others all smiled and talked to them.

Many people have come to the Chen family courtyard. Some are drinking tea in the house, and some are enjoying the shade under the trees. Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye were very happy to see Chen Afu coming with a big belly and felt very proud.

The old lady said in a loud voice, "Oh, my magpies are chirping non-stop, we are really a distinguished guest."

Chen Afu smiled at them and went directly to Mrs. Gao's room with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Luo.

Mrs. Hu, who was busy leading people in the kitchen, heard that Chen Afu and Mrs. Wang were coming, so she quickly left the kitchen and went to the east wing to see what gifts they would give.

The servant took out the gift from Chen Afu, and Mrs. Wang also took out the gift from herself. Wang gave her a pair of small silver bracelets, a small silver lock, two chickens, and fifty eggs. She had people buy these chickens and eggs in the village. She gave most of the chickens and eggs raised in Luyuan to Chen Afu to eat.

Mrs. Hu was very satisfied with these gifts and her laughter became much louder.

Chen Afu picked up Chen Dalong. The little guy was already awake, looking at Chen Afu with one eye open and a smile popping up from his little mouth.

The old lady said happily, "Oh, my Dalong is smart. He knows how to stutter at such a young age."

One sentence made everyone in the room laugh.

The old lady said to Chen Dalong again, "Dalong, look out, it is your aunt who is holding you. When you grow up, you must be filial to your aunt."

The child spit out two small bubbles, and Chen Afu was so happy that he kissed his little face again before handing him over to Mrs. Wang.

Hu Cuicui also hurriedly came to the room, got close to Chen Afu, and even hugged Chen Afu's arm and joked. Hu Cuicui also told me that the young man's family is in Sanqing County, with hundreds of acres of land and a shop.

Chen Afu really doesn't like this girl. In the beginning, she and Chen Aju bullied little Ah Fu a lot, and most of the bad ideas came from her. But he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, retracted his arm from her arms, and said a few perfunctory words to her.

Chen Aju also came. She stood at the door, struggling with the idea of ​​getting close but also disdainfully.

Chen Afu saw that because he was here, the hut was crowded with people and the air was extremely bad. He had no choice but to get up and say a few words to Mrs. Gao, asking her to have a good rest, and then left the hut.

When they came to the yard, Chen Alan came over with a little girl over one year old in his arms. Chen Alan gave birth to a daughter. Her husband's family was unhappy and named the girl Pandi.

Because the Chen family has become more prosperous, her husband's family does not dare to treat Chen Alan badly.

Little Pandi is very cute. Chen Afu stood down and teased the little girl, and even pinched her little face with a smile. Seeing that her master liked the child, Hong Fei quickly stuffed a purse containing silver into the little girl's arms.

Chen Afu's move was interpreted as a way to gain face for Chen Alan, which made Chen Alan's mother-in-law go crazy with laughter. She, the idiot who was bullied by everyone before, has now become an unattainable "noble person" in the eyes of the villagers.

Chen Afu did not stay to eat, saying that the old and young in the family could not live without her. Old Mrs. Chen, Chen Agui, Chen Aju, and Hu Cuicui sent her to the entrance of the village. Originally, Chen Aju was unwilling to give it away, but the old lady secretly pinched her twice before following her.

In the afternoon, Chen Afu got up from his lunch break and went to Fuyuan kitchen to get busy.

The Marquis of Chu was coming to Tangyuan for dinner in the evening, and Chen Afu wanted to prepare a decent meal for him. Because he hated Rong Zhao, he never sent the delicious food here to Lord Chu.

Thinking of what Jin Yanzi once said, as well as the loneliness that Lord Chu felt when he visited Yingxue Nunnery the day before yesterday, and the reluctance in his eyes when he went down the mountain, Chen Afu felt very sympathetic to him. If you want to do something good, honor him.

Most of the dishes are cooked by Hua's mother and others, but she still wants to make a few of her own specialties.

A cucumber with sesame sauce, a refreshing cucumber roll, and a cucumber pat. They use special cucumbers grown between Fuyuan and Luyuan. The ingredients are good and it tastes delicious no matter how you prepare it.

I caught two and a half big roosters in Luyuan and made a salt-baked chicken, a cold chicken slice, and a spicy chicken nugget.

A few more meats and vegetables were braised, as well as a golden prawn dish and a golden smooth pork dish.

Wine is soaked in wine. This kind of wine is delicious and nourishing.

After that, Hua’s mother was taught how to arrange flowers.

In the evening, I let a few children eat first and then sent them back to their respective yards, while Chen Afu continued to be busy.

This time the meal is placed in the old man's room. The old man was sitting in a side room with a serious face, waiting for his son. The news made him panic, but he didn't know what to do. Most important matters in the family are decided by the eldest son and the third son. Although he is an elder, he is used to taking orders from them on important matters.

When it gets dark, Chu Lingxuan rides back first. He rushed back from Dingzhou Mansion. He first went back to Yanxiang Pavilion to take a bath, changed his clothes and then went to the front yard to wait.
