Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

It’s already midnight when the return gift is ready.

Chen Afu had just finished washing and was about to take a rest when he saw Golden Swallow, who had not seen him for a day, come in through the window. He asked quietly, "You have been wild all day, where did you go?"

Jin Yanzi disappeared suddenly, not even his followers Qiqi and Huihui.

Golden Swallow flapped its wings, dropped two small copper tubes in her hands, and chirped, "Let's go to space to talk."

Chen Afu got up and went to the clean room. After closing the door, he entered the space again.

Jin Yanzi said, "I followed the Seventh Prince to Lingyin Temple to see the excitement. The Seventh Prince asked Monk Gui Ling to see if the three-color ball plant was real. Monk Gui Ling said it was real, so the Seventh Prince asked him Treat yourself and prescribe medicine. Monk Gui Ling said that the treatment is okay, but the seventh prince must swear to heaven that he will be clean and respect himself in the future. He is not allowed to rob civilian girls, and he is not allowed to go against a woman's will. He must also do five-year marriages within three years. It took twenty-five good deeds to treat him. The seventh prince suppressed his blush, but still swore..."

Chen Afu was very happy after hearing this and said, "Monk Gui Ling has done a good job. We really can't let that guy harm other girls casually anymore. There are also those twenty-five good things. I don't know what he will do."

Jin Yanzi said bitterly, "After watching the fun, I went to visit that stupid old bald donkey again. Mommy, we were all deceived by that old bald donkey. Green bird's nest is indeed used to make medicine. I smelled that pill , which contained green bird's nests, but there were no leaves of agarwood at all. All the leaves that the old bald donkey asked for were used to make incense, which was really abominable. When people got angry, they stole all the incense he made. The remaining half of the unused leaves were eaten by others, and in the end, the smelly cake was put into his tea bowl."

A pair of small mung bean eyes looked at Chen Afu with a look like praise me now and see if I've even taken revenge.

Chen Afu opened the copper pipe. There were five sticks of green leaf agarwood in one copper pipe and four sticks in the other. Then he asked, "Didn't the old monk notice you when you went?"

Jin Yanzi chirped, "The old bald donkey may be sleepy. He is sleeping on the Arhat's bed. His mouth is as wide open as he is snoring loudly. They put all the green agarwood on the table and in the stove into copper tubes. Take back."

Again, the little thing is sometimes shrewd and naive, and sometimes it is naive and tight. How can it compare to the cunning old monk? A leaf as big as an eyeball needs to be fragrant for so long. I don’t know how many incense sticks I need to make with two and a half leaves. Moreover, the poop that the little thing poops can also be used as good fertilizer for flowers and plants.

However, he couldn't say these words, lest the little thing would feel unhappy and cause trouble to the old monk again. Although the old monk was a little greedy and not very sincere, he did have some real abilities, so he couldn't be offended. However, from now on, I must help the little thing guard the things in the space, and don't be fooled by the old monk.

Chen Afu laughed in amusement and said, "My dear, you are so capable. This time you will definitely make the old monk's liver ache with anger."

Golden Swallow became even more happy after hearing this, covering her mouth with her wings and laughing hard.

Chen Afu is also happy. Until now, she has not been willing to use Green Leaf Agarwood. This time there were nine more at once, and she could use them. She held the golden swallow to her mouth. Knowing that her mother was happy to kiss her, the golden swallow quickly took her wings away and let her mother kiss her.

When Chen Afu got out of the room, he broke off a small piece of incense and put it in the closet.

The next day, Chen Afu saw off Qingfeng and took Dabao to Luyuan.

Last night, Mrs. Chu San said that several of them would come to Luyuan this morning to formally visit their future in-laws. Chu Lingxuan will return to Dingzhou tomorrow. He has taken several days off and cannot delay any longer. Mrs. Chu San is also going back to the capital. She is worried about her husband and eldest son at home. Because Chu Lingzhi hasn't had enough fun, he will stay with Mr. Chu for a while longer.

Yesterday, Chen Afu sent someone to tell Chen Ming and Wang, asking them to prepare and treat the Chu family to a midday meal. Early this morning, she had sent Aunt Zeng and Xia Yue to Luyuan to help with cooking and decorating the house.

Luyuan was cleaned cleanly, and all the good ornaments were put out. A Lu didn't go to school either. He, Chen Ming, and Wang all wore satin clothes and looked very glamorous.

Chen Ming led Chen Afu into the west room, pointed to a pile of things on the kang and said, "These are birthday gifts from the families who celebrated your birthday yesterday..." He also said which things were sent from which family.

These things include silver bracelets, gold lilacs, silk fabrics, vase ornaments and other items, which are valuable to country people, even to landlords or locals. Chen Afu kept the silk embroidered shoes made for her by Mrs. Gao and a satin dress made by Mrs. Wei, and left the others to Chen Ming and Wang, saying that she had accepted the love of those people and would do the same when they had trouble in the future. Corresponding gifts will be prepared.

Around the end of the year, two young men, Alu and Dabao, stood at the gate of Luyuan to greet the guests.

A Lu curiously asked Dabao quietly, "Have you really called Mr. Chu daddy and Mr. Chu, grandpa?"

Dabao sighed and said, "Yeah, there's nothing I can do about it. My mother is going to get married, so I have no choice but to call her that."

Alu said with a smile, "When my sister officially marries into the Chu family, I can call you Mr. Chu's brother-in-law. Yesterday I went to school, and my classmates were all envious of you and me."

Dabao said nothing, thinking to himself, my mother is about to get married, what else is there to envy...

While the two were talking, they saw the Chu family walking towards them.

A Lu first shouted to the door, "The guests are here." He then straightened his clothes, then helped Dabao pull up his clothes, and the two of them stepped forward to greet him.

All five members of the Chu family came. Welcoming them into the hall, they invited the old Marquis and Mrs. Chu to take their seats. Mrs. Chu did not sit down, but asked Chen Ming to sit on both sides of the Eight Immortals table with the old Marquis. The two families said something appropriate to the occasion, but Chen Ming was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly. However, both the old Marquis and Mrs. Chu were talkative, so they were not in a cold mood. Gradually, Chen Ming and Wang became more relaxed.

Madam Chu San gave A Lu a jade pendant as a meeting gift, and Mrs. Wang gave Chu Lingzhi a purse she made herself.

Chu Lingxuan didn't talk much. He often glanced at Chen Afu while others were in the middle of a conversation, pursed his lips and smiled.

Several children were playing with Qiqi, Huihui, Zhuifeng and Wangcai at the door of the side room.

Dabao whispered to Chu Hanyan, "Look at your father, he always peeks at my mother."

Chu Hanyan looked up and asked innocently, "Isn't my father your father? What kind of peeking is considered peeking?"

Dabao was stunned when he was asked. He couldn't explain this question. Hey, if he couldn't explain it, he wouldn't say it. He had to lower his head to tease the animal house and stopped looking at the adults.

At the dinner table, Lord Chu invited Chen Ming's family of three and Chen Afu's mother and son to have dinner in Tangyuan. Chu Lingxuan and Mrs. Chu will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Chen Ming and others happily accepted the invitation.
