Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Ye was so angry that he glared at Mrs. Hu and cursed, "If you keep your mouth shut, if you keep nagging, go home."

Chen Ming said, "Our family is originally a mess, and we really don't know how to use the servants. The Mu family's He Shanzi was bought by Ah Fu, and they are just temporarily living in my house."

Chen Afu didn't say a word, and she basically treated Hu's words as birdsong.

Mrs. Chen also glared at Mr. Hu, and then talked about her third son and his family. Luo Yuan went to Fucheng for business a few days ago, and Chen Shi asked him to bring a letter back because their business was very good and they would not be able to come back until the 28th of the New Year.

Chen Mingdao said, "My family now has a lot of houses. When my third brother comes back, let them live in my house."

Chen Ye waved his hand and said, "No, mother and I haven't seen him for a long time, so you should stay at my place."

Several people returned home after eating at Erfang's house. Mrs. Gao who came to open the door whispered, "Mistress, father-in-law, two people came from Zhaojiacun and said they have something to do with you." After saying that, he led Dahu into the east. compartment.

Several people looked at each other suspiciously. They had no acquaintance with Zhaojiacun. The most talked-about thing in Zhaojia Village now is the flowing water feast that will be held three days later, on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The reason is that Mrs. Chen, the mother of Mr. Chen, the prefect of Dingzhou, has returned to her hometown. On the 20th, the Zhaojia Bridge, which she funded and built, will be officially opened. She will put a red flag on the Zhaojia Bridge, and the village will invite a three-day water banquet.

This is a grand event with a radius of dozens of miles. Zhaojiacun not only invited officials from the county, but also some famous Xiang Kun from nearby villages and towns. I heard that not only Guanshi Luo and his son were invited, but also Gao Lizheng and Hu Laowu.

They wouldn't come to invite me, right?

Chen Ye was overjoyed when he thought of this possibility, and helped the old lady walk quickly to the room.

Two men were sitting in the upper room, one in his fifties and the other in his thirties. Chen Agui was drinking tea with them.

Seeing Chen Ye and others entering, the two people stood up and smiled and cupped their hands.

Chen Agui introduced, "Mistress, dad, this is Zhao Lizheng from Zhaojiacun, and this is Zhao Lizheng's son, Uncle Zhao."

Chen Ye quickly smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Zhao Lizheng, Third Brother Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you, please have a seat."

A few people sat down and chatted for a while. Zhao Lizheng took out five silver ingots worth ten taels from his bag and placed them on the table, looking at the four Chen family members and laughing.

Chen Ye was stunned. He still knew that he was a poor person and could not afford such a big gift from him. It's definitely not easy for him to give such a big gift. Thinking of Chen Afu's life experience, could it be related to her? He and the old lady looked at each other. The old lady thought the same thing and looked at him worriedly.

Chen Ye asked, "Zhao Lizheng, what do you mean?"

Zhao Lizheng tugged on his beard and felt a little disappointed when he saw that except for Chen Ye's wife, whose eyes were shining, the other three people were suspicious. Said, "I heard that your eldest niece is working for Tangyuan. If she shows up like that, wouldn't it ruin the family tradition of your Chen family? Who else is willing to marry your daughter in the future? Let me tell you, just do it like this The best way to marry her off is to do it years ago."

At this time, there are still thirteen days before the Chinese New Year. Is this asking them to use extraordinary measures?

Mrs. Chen quickly said, "Afu has already established a female household. If he doesn't marry, he will find a son-in-law."

Chen Ye was also embarrassed and said, "Afu is single, we, we can't control her marriage. Besides, that girl is so fierce that she dares to stab people with a knife..."

When Hu saw Zhao Lizheng sending so much money, she thought it would be too difficult for them to do it. When I heard that it was for Ah Fu, I felt that it was not difficult to handle, and I was extremely happy. This was ten acres of land. But when she saw that both her mother-in-law and the man were refusing, she was so anxious that she said, "Whether you are getting married or looking for a son-in-law, Ah Fu is going to get married anyway..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ye glared at him and cursed, "Shut up, let's talk and do your old bitch's shit. Get out!" Then he smiled and said to Zhao Lizheng, "Zhao Lizheng, we really can't handle this matter. .My second brother has already separated and lived alone, and Ah Fu is also living alone. Besides, they live next to Tangyuan..."

Zhao Lizheng's face darkened and he said to the old lady, "You are Chen Afu's grandmother. You proposed marriage to her, and Chen Ming dared to say no?" He then said seductively, "You called her here, a single woman, and why? Aren't you the ones who have the final say? If this is done, there will be benefits."

Sure enough, he wanted them to use force. Not to mention that the second house now has a strong support like Tangyuan. If they did this, they would definitely not be able to survive for years to come. Even if they didn't, they couldn't do such immoral things.

The old lady, Chen Ye, and Chen Agui all shook their heads, saying that they really didn't dare to do this for fear of Tangyuan's revenge.

Although Zhao Lizheng has repeatedly stated that behind the Zhao family is Mrs. Chen, the prefect. The owner of Tangyuan would not go against Mrs. Chen for a servant, but the three Chen family members shook their heads like rattles, indicating that they did not dare to do it.

The Zhao family's father and son talked for a long time, and then they had to take the money and leave angrily.

Seeing the distressed look on Mr. Hu's face, Mrs. Chen said, "Ah Guiniang, if you did that immoral thing, wouldn't you be as immoral as Mr. Ding? You will be stabbed in the back."

Chen Ye also scolded, "You bitch who wants money rather than your life, I've told you before that you can think about some money and you can't think about some money. Can you feel comfortable spending that kind of money?"

Chen Agui said, "I'm afraid I'll die before the flowers start blooming. Mom, I heard from Big Tiger Girl that the little master of Tangyuan can't live without Ah Fu. If we dare to harm Ah Fu, the General will not let him go." It's up to us. Mom, you have to think more carefully about what you do in the future, don't dare to say anything, and dare to do anything." Then he said to Chen Ye, "I will go to Luyuan now to send a letter to Ah Fu."

Chen Afu and others were furious after hearing what Chen Agui said. The Zhao family tried to bribe the Chen Ye family by trying to bribe the Ding family, but it didn't work this time.

Wang asked anxiously, "Afu, what should we do? Will they come to the house to rob someone?"

Chen Afu said, "They wouldn't dare to blatantly come to my house to rob someone, otherwise they wouldn't want to pass by the uncle's family. But be careful that I might suddenly disappear on the way."

Chen Ming said, "Except for Tangyuan, Ah Fu can only stay at home and is not allowed to go anywhere." He stood up and said, "I will go find Manager Luo now. You go to Tangyuan and ask them to send two people to protect you."

Manager Luo and his son were both here. After hearing this, they immediately said that when Chen Afu came to Tangyuan, he would send several guards to follow him.

The next day, with more than a quarter of an hour left, four guards arrived from Tangyuan, and Chen Afu lived a life of having bodyguards when traveling.

Three days later, on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Alu School began a long holiday, and Chen Afu went to work in Tangyuan as usual. Because Chu Lingxuan didn't come back the first day, it meant that he might not take a rest today.

On the way there, I met Manager Luo and his son driving a carriage to the west. She guessed that they must be attending the flowing water banquet hosted by Zhaojiacun.

Chen Afu greeted Guanshi Luo and his son happily as if nothing had happened.
