Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chu Lingxuan finally figured out why he always felt that Chen Afu looked familiar. It turned out that she looked too much like Mr. Chen!

Even if Chu Lingxuan didn't say what was in his heart, Manager Luo understood what his master meant. He nodded and said, "Well, the wife of the Chen family does look like Mr. Chen. I heard that Mrs. Wang said she was pregnant one month after marrying Chen Ming. Chen Ming was almost dead at that time. How could she..." He After a pause, he added, "Moreover, Wang gave birth to the Chen family's wife more than seven months after their marriage. The Chen family's wife must be Mr. Chen's biological daughter."

Thinking of what happened to the mother and daughter, Chu Lingxuan sighed and felt very sad. But it turns out that there are women in this world who are as hard-working and forbearing as his mother. For them, perhaps they can be freed by death, but for the sake of their children, they have to live a miserable life.

And Chen Afu, he was so embarrassed when he saw her for the first time, being bullied into such a state by the son of a county captain. If I hadn't happened to see it and lend a helping hand, I really don't know what the consequences would have been. No matter what she was, she was still a real official lady and should have lived a noble life. Thinking of this, he felt that he should be nicer to Yan'er...

Chu Lingxuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said sarcastically, "Master Chen has always had a good official reputation. People say that he is gentle and polite, and he is a good official. He is a rare good official. Even the emperor praised him. But. Unexpectedly, he still has such a big handle. If he is caught by someone with intentions, his reputation will be ruined. I don’t know whether Mr. Chen really doesn’t know the truth about the evil done by Chen’s mother, or is pretending to be confused. If he knew , but he got Mrs. Wang pregnant and had her kicked out of the house, so there is a problem with his character."

Luo Yuan bowed again and said, "Mother Chen is very shrewd. When she kicked Wang Juanniang out of the Chen family, the news that Mr. Chen won the election in Hu'an Province had not yet reached our Northern Hebei Province, and he did not come back. Of course. , others don’t know whether the Tang family will rush back to report the news. Her external rhetoric is that the Wang family is unworthy and jealous. Her mother-in-law said that she did not understand poetry and songs, so she might not be able to add fragrance to her husband’s red sleeves, so she wanted to The son took another concubine, but Mrs. Wang was unwilling to do so. She cried and made trouble, and even took the initiative to beg her to go. Mother Chen was so angry that she almost died of anger, so she had to drive her back to her parents' home. As for how Mrs. Chen forced Mrs. Wang Please tell me how to get Wang's stepmother to marry off Wang as soon as possible, but Wang is willing to remarry without telling her the reason." He then quickly added, "Wang remarried so quickly. One reason may be to find an identity for the child in her belly."

Chu Lingxuan slammed the tea bowl on the table and snorted coldly, "No matter how clever the old woman is, she can't change the fact that her son drove away Wang Juanniang as soon as he was successful! I hate this the most in my life. People like this will do all kinds of bad things just for their own selfish desires."

Seeing that his uncle was getting angry, Manager Luo also thought about the fact that his master was forced to become a monk, and he felt very sad. After a few people were silent for a while, he asked again, "Uncle, the wife of the Chen family is Mr. Chen's daughter." He instinctively said the daughter, but then he felt that what he said was a joke, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Oh, yes Master Chen’s own flesh and blood, do you still want her to work as a needlework master for Sister Yan?”

Chu Lingxuan said, "Of course I have to continue to hire her. Yan'er likes her, and she loves Yan'er very much. She is the most suitable, uh... needlework master. Judging from her character and intelligence, even if she knows Chen Your Excellency is her biological father. With a grandmother like that, her father’s true inner thoughts are unknown, and he will definitely not be willing to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. The old woman of the Chen family will not be willing to recognize her son for the sake of her son’s official reputation. She and our family It might be a good thing for her to have something to do with her." He raised his head and said to Manager Luo and his son, "Her family is weak now. If you can take care of her and her family here, you should do your best to take care of her."

Guanshi Luo and his son hurriedly bowed to respond.

Chu Lingxuan added, "There are really those who are powerful. I don't mind if you use my name, or even the name of the Hou Mansion, to suppress them."

Guanshi Luo and his son bowed again to respond. Before, the uncle didn't like it when they used his name to pressure others, saying that it would ruin his official reputation.

…

Luo Yuan smiled again and said, "You don't know, sir, that the nine-spice braised pork you like to eat is originally a recipe that Xile Restaurant bought from Mrs. Chen's wife. Mrs. Chen's cooking is even more delicious than the restaurant's. Little one. First, I wanted to ask Mrs. Chen to prepare some food for my uncle to take to the camp tomorrow. But I told my father about her mother Wang’s affairs at night, so I kept waiting to report it to my uncle, and I didn’t have time to go to her house. Is it okay for the little one to let her make some now?"

Chu Lingxuan waved his hands and said, "Next time, it's too late now. Besides, she just got home and is busy."

…

At night, Chen Afu was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a whimpering sound. Listening to a voice that sounded a bit like Wang's, she quickly sat up, put her head against the window, and opened the gap wider. The whimpering had become quieter, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear it was Wang's voice.

Wang seemed to have covered her mouth, but the sobs still came out, which seemed a bit sad and scary in the silent night. Occasionally, you can still hear Chen Ming's gentle voice, but you can't make out clearly what he is saying.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Afu shivered and quickly closed the window gap.

She lay down again, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Wang seems to be weak and gentle, but in fact she is strong and patient. How sad and sad she is crying like this.

Chen Afu's heart was astringent, and it took him a long time to fall asleep. Not long after, I was woken up by the crow of roosters again. She thought that Wang must not have slept well at night and she had to get up first to make breakfast. After the meal, he went to water the vegetable fields, fetch water, and wash clothes. Wang had not been able to do these outside tasks in recent days. After doing these things, I still have to go to work in Tangyuan. It's not good to ask for leave on the first day.

Then I thought, I need to quickly buy two servants to do these rough jobs. However, the house is too small for anyone to live in. It seems that the housing construction plan must be implemented in advance and cannot wait until next year.

When Chen Afu went out, it was still dark. It was quiet in the old courtyard, the three people didn't get up, and she couldn't go in to light the fire and cook with the door locked. She carried the firewood back to the new courtyard and cooked in the kitchen. She had some polished rice, white flour and some seasonings.

She boiled the rice in the pot, mixed the noodles, and then took Zhui Feng to the vegetable patch to pick some green onions and pick a radish. When I came back, I baked scallion pancakes and mixed them with shredded radish.

She had just picked up a few eggs from the chicken coop and boiled them into the pot when she heard the door over there open.

It was Chen Ming who came out. He still wanted to grab firewood to cook. Chen Afu came over and said with a smile, "Dad, I have cooked the rice. You can go to my place to eat."
