Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu returned to Tangyuan and explained some precautions to Xue Dagui, Old Man Zeng, Luo Yuan and others. Luo Yuan, in particular, explained a lot. Because all the masters went to Fucheng, Manager Luo would also go, and Luo Yuan became the general person in charge here.

In the afternoon, Old Man Lin and his son from Wangshan Village came, and Chen Afu gave them another explanation.

The next day, July 2, Chu Hanyan and Xiao Xuanxuan got up at midnight in order to reach Fucheng before noon. Xiao Xuanxuan was so angry that she couldn't stop crying.

This time when I went to Fucheng, not only the people went there, but also all the animal homes. Hearing that they were going on a long journey, Qi Qi, Hui Hui, and Zhui Feng's family were so excited that they followed their little master, fearing that the master would change his mind and leave them at home.

Chu Hanyan didn't see Jin Yanzi and asked Dabao, "Brother, Jin Bao hasn't come back yet. What if it comes back and can't find us?"

Dabao said, "Grandma and grandpa are still at home, and Uncle Luo is also here. They will send Jinbao to us."

Chu Hanyan felt relieved after hearing this.

Chen Ming and Wang also brought A Lu over early in the morning and brought some things for Wang Cheng and Chen Shi. Chen Agui also brought some things for Chen Shi.

This time I also brought long-term worker Wang Laowu with me.

Because Wang and Lao were good at growing the five types of land and were willing to use their brains when doing things, they pleased Chen Afu and assigned him to be responsible for planting his own special cucumbers. This time, I took him to the General’s Mansion and asked him to open a small piece of land in the mansion to grow those small cucumbers.

Chen Afu took Dabao, Chu Hanyan, Xiao Li Xuan and Aunt Wei in a carriage and arrived at the gate of Dingzhou Prefecture at early noon.

Butler Yang, the general manager of the General's Mansion, personally greeted him at the city gate. When he arrived at the General's Mansion, the shameless stewards stood at the door to greet him. Everyone went to the main courtyard first, and Butler Yang brought the trained little boy Xiaoluzi to kowtow to Chen Afu.

Xiaoluzi is nine years old today. He is a handsome and smart child.

Chen Afu rewarded him with a silver purse and said, "From now on, I will serve Brother Bao's cousin with all my heart."

Xiaoluzi kowtowed to Dabao again, and Dabao rewarded him.

In addition, Sanquan, a boy who served Alu, and two little girls, Lancao and Lanhua, also came to kowtow to Chen Afu and Alu, and the two masters rewarded them with a purse each. This is the person Chu Lingxuan sent a letter back to the house in the morning, asking Manager Yang and the inner courtyard manager Aunt Luo to look for him.

Chen Afu also asked Manager Yang to tidy up Mr. Liao's residence and not to neglect Mr. Liao.

After that, Chen Afu asked his servants to take Chu Hanyan, Qiqi, and Huihui to Yuetaoxuan, Dabao and Zhuifeng's family went to Chaohuayuan, Alu went to Guiyuan in the outer courtyard, and Xiao Lixuan lived in the west of the main courtyard. Across the hospital. After washing, let them come to the main courtyard for lunch.

Xia Yue and Nanny Li were also asked to go home and rest for two days.

After Chen Afu got up at noon, he sorted out the gifts from the first and second bedrooms to the Chen Shi family and the Wang Cheng family. He also sorted out the gifts to the two families and the Chen Shiying family and asked people to deliver them to these three families.

Then he led Qingfeng and Xiao Huang to Guiyuan, where Alu lived in the front yard.

I heard from Qingfeng that Guiyuan is a courtyard with three entrances. Mr. Liao lives in the main room on the second entrance, the lecture hall is in the east wing, and A Lu lives in the back room on the third entrance. They went in through the back door of the yard, and Alu was sitting in the study reading.

When he saw his sister coming, he quickly got up and came over to hold her.

Chen Afu asked, "Are you still used to it?" Seeing Alu nodded, she added, "This is my sister's house, which is also your home. If you need anything, just tell your sister or the manager. If you are a servant, If you don't listen to greetings, tell your sister." She rarely lived here and didn't know much about the people here, but she was still afraid that someone would offend Alu.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sanquan, Lancao and Lanhua were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and said, "I don't dare."

Chen Afu nodded and asked them to get up.

There are three main rooms in the back room, which are used as bedrooms, living rooms and study rooms. The furniture and furnishings are all good, and there are many books and pens and inkstones in the bookcases.

There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees and several clumps of green bamboos in the yard, which is quiet and quiet, which is quite nice.

After Chen Afu finished the visit, he took Alu's hand and went to Chaohuayuan where Dabao lived.

She just wanted to show the servants how much her sister liked her brother.

Chaohua Courtyard is very close to Yuetaoxuan where Chu Hanyan lives, and there is only a flower path between the two courtyards.

Dabao had already gotten up, and the laughter of him and Zhui Feng's family could be heard in the yard.

Chen Afu was very happy. The child was used to living by himself and was no longer as cumbersome as before. Although he still often deliberately gets close to her in front of Chu Lingxuan, he is no longer so hostile to Chu Lingxuan.

When he was about to go up to the steps of the concierge, Alu said thoughtfully, "Sister, be careful."

The layout of Chaohuayuan is similar to that of Yuetaoxuan, with verandahs on all sides, three main rooms and two side rooms. Many plantains and sycamores are planted in the yard.

When Dabao saw his mother coming, he took Chen Afu's other hand and entered the house.

Chen Afu looked at all three main rooms and was still very satisfied with the layout.

After observing around, they went to Miss Chu's Yuetaoxuan and took them back to the main courtyard.

In the evening, several children were playing with Qiqi, Huihui and Zhui Feng's family on the lawn of the main courtyard. The pomegranate tree was like a big umbrella blocking them (them) from the afterglow of the setting sun. Laughter and laughter hovered in the sky, making the usually silent inner courtyard of the General's Mansion lively.

Li Xuan liked the small fruits on the trees and asked for them. Hui Hui flew up to the branch very considerately, pecked one for him and dropped it.

Mr. Chu sat on the porch and watched them laugh. The old man would come here every night to have dinner in the west wing restaurant. This was also a time for family reunion.

Chen Afu was also sitting on the porch, sewing in her hands to make obscene clothes for Chu Lingxuan. Sometimes she looked up at the children and smiled, sometimes she looked down at the work in her hands.

Before Chu Lingxuan reached the main courtyard, he heard the sounds of children and two birds, as well as the barking of dogs. His heart was extremely weak, and he really wished he could be like this every day, and see his wife, children, and grandfather as soon as he came home. Of course, it would be better if I could see my parents every day again.

Seeing that Chu Lingxuan was back, Chu Hanyan ran to greet her father again. Even the shy little Li Xuan went to greet her, while Dabao stood up and saluted Chu Lingxuan like a little adult.

After he finished washing and changed into homely clothes, everyone went to the west wing to eat together.

In the evening, Chu Lingxuan told Chen Afu that Fu Lei, Fu Zongbing's third son, was getting married on July 6, and they were going to a wedding banquet. Even if he didn't come to Fucheng because of Dabao this time, Chen Afu would still make a special trip. After all, Mr. Fu is their matchmaker, and the person the Ninth Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince strive to win over. Another thing is to ask Chen Afu to prepare a treat at home on the 10th, and invite General Fu Zongbing's eldest son Fu Zhen, several of his good friends and family, and Chen Shiying's family to come and play for a day. When she comes here, she will have to deal with the ladies of Dingzhou Prefecture.
