Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Everyone had lunch and sent the Chu family away. Because there was no housekeeper in Luyuan, Manager Luo walked last and presented the gift list and gifts to Chen Ming. The gifts include Beijing's famous snacks, cloth, school supplies, ornaments, and a lot of colorful things.

In the afternoon, Chen Ming and Wang went to their backyard to pick all the long fruit cucumbers. After picking, there was only a small basket, plus two food boxes of homemade snacks, which were brought back to the capital for Mrs. Chu. Gift.

Both of them were embarrassed. The Chu family had given them so many gifts, but they only gave them so few things. It would be embarrassing for their daughter to get them. Mrs. Wang went to Fuyuan to discuss with Chen Afu and asked her what else she would like to give.

Chen Afu said with a smile, "There is no place to buy fruit cucumbers even if you have money. These are rare things for people. And those snacks sold in the shop are not necessarily more delicious than what we make. There is no need to prepare other things, as long as They don't lack anything they can buy with money. Even if we give it away, Mrs. Chu San won't bother going to the capital to get it."

Wang continued, "Didn't you ask my mother to make a pair of beautiful panda slippers for the embroidery workshop? My mother has already made them, and she has a pair of baby pandas embroidered on the uppers. They are very beautiful. I will give those slippers to Chu." Third Madam, she will definitely like it."

The shoes should be made by the younger generation for the elders. Chen Afu is not willing to wrong the Wang family. She shook her head and said, "Mom, although Mrs. Chu San was born in the royal family, she is my elder just like her. How can I ask my mother to make shoes for her? No, I will make another pair for her when I have time." Look. Wang was still reluctant and said, "In the future, I will draw a 'Panda Playing with Bamboo' pattern for my mother, and she will embroider a small screen and give it to the Chu family as a gift during the Chinese New Year. They will definitely like it."

Wang listened and nodded in agreement.

Chen Afu was embarrassed to give Chu Lingxuan's clothes and purse to him in public, so he asked Wei to hand them over. She only carried a copper tube filled with green leaves of agarwood, and asked Xia Yue to go outside with a panda doll and two food boxes of homemade snacks. When Chen Ming and the others came out, they went to Tangyuan together.

Mrs. Chu San laughed heartily when she saw Wang and the others presented a basket of fruits and cucumbers. He said, "To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about how I should be so shameless as to ask you for some, but I didn't expect you to give me so much."

Chen Ming and Wang were both extremely happy when they saw that they had reached the noble man's heart.

Chen Afu gave the green-leaf agarwood to Madam Chu Third Madam again and said with a smile, "Master only gave me three. I gave Abbot Chen one, and I used one again. Madam Third, please don't tell me. If you don't tell anyone, The noble man wants it, but I really don’t have it anymore.”

Mrs. Chu San took out the green leaf agarwood from the copper tube, and the refreshing aroma immediately filled the air. Her eyes widened, she took a deep breath, and said happily, "I never thought I could have one of this treasure. I smelled it at Sister-in-law Yingxue'an's place, and I'm still thinking about it." Again. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fu'er. I won't cause trouble for you. I will only say to the outside world that I got one by chance. I can't bear to use this thing. I will honor my imperial grandmother when I return to the capital."

Chen Afu just chuckled a few times when he heard that she brought out such a tall and distinguished person. Although she still has ten green-leaf agarwood sticks, nine of them cannot be seen in the light. She can't take out the only one, right?

After dinner at Chu's house, everyone chatted for a while. Chen Ming's family is from the countryside, and Mrs. Chu San has stayed at the border for many years, so she didn't talk about the defense of men and women, and they all sat together and laughed. The old Marquis also said that Dabao's teacher has been found and will arrive from the capital in a few days. When the time comes, Dabao, Zhier, and Alu will learn from the teacher together.

Chen Ming was extremely happy when he heard this. The teacher was a scholar, and he was more knowledgeable than Mr. Jiang who was a scholar. In this way, Alu's hope of passing the examination is even greater.

It was getting dark, and the sunset in the west had disappeared into the top of the Honglin Mountain, leaving only a circle of golden clouds hanging on the top of the mountain. Only then did the Chen family get up and say goodbye.

Chu Lingxuan led Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi to send the Chen family out. Alu, Dabao, and Chu Lingzhi were already playing very well. The three of them were holding hands, and Dabao was holding Chu Hanyan's other hand. The little guys were running in front, laughing. Continuously.

Chen Ming and Wang followed them, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu walked at the end, and the servants were very interested and did not follow them.

After leaving Tangyuan, several children came to the open space between Tangyuan and Fuyuan and stopped leaving, standing there laughing and playing. Seeing that the children were accompanied by Mr. Chu and Chen Afu, Chen Ming and Wang felt that it was time for them to talk in private, so they returned to Luyuan first.

Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu stood under the willow tree. Chu Lingxuan whispered, "I like the clothes and purses you made very much."

"Oh." Chen Afu responded.

Chu Lingxuan asked again, "Do you like the bracelet I gave you? I went to the Jitai Silver Building in the capital to buy it."

"I like it." Chen Afu replied.

Chu Lingxuan added, "I won't be able to come back tomorrow or the day after. I will try to come back in three days."

"Yeah." Chen Afu responded again.

Chu Lingxuan continued, "If I'm not here, my grandfather, Yan'er, and Zhidi will trouble Ah Fu."

"No trouble." Chen Afu said.

Chu Lingxuan shook his head and chuckled, and said, "Can't you say two more words to me? I saw you talk a lot when talking to Third Aunt and Yan'er. Especially with Yan'er, you can talk a lot by yourself. I can talk for a long time.”

Chen Afu also laughed after hearing this. To be honest, although she had been in contact with him for a while, she didn't chat much. She didn't know what to say to him.

The last golden light from the west sank into the top of the mountain, and night came like a tide. In an instant, it became dark, and a few stars appeared on the horizon, blinking there.

It was darker under the willow tree in the starlight.

Chu Lingxuan saw the children playing crazy and didn't pay attention to them, so he moved closer to Chen Afu and held Chen Afu's little hand in his hand. Chen Afu's hand shrank and he didn't break away, so he let him hold him. His hands felt big, thick, and hot. The calluses on his palms were thick, and they must have been sharpened with knives and guns.

When Chu Lingxuan saw that Chen Afu didn't struggle anymore, he was so happy that the corners of his mouth raised, and he was extremely happy.

At this time, he saw Dabao looking over here. He glanced twice and then pulled Chu Hanyan over to run over.

Chu Lingxuan quickly let go of his hand, and both of them moved to both sides.

Dabao came closer and said, "Mom, it's getting dark, we should go home." He reminded Chu Lingxuan and said, "Dad, don't you have to get up early to go to the military camp tomorrow? If you go to bed too late, you won't be able to get up. . If you are late, the superior will criticize you, and if you fail, you will get slapped on the palm of your hand. I was late in the same year, and my husband slapped me on the palm of my hand until it was swollen."

Chu Hanyan looked at Dabao with admiration and said, "Brother knows so much, why didn't sister think of it?"

Haha, Qingquan thought that there would be a misunderstanding about the name in the previous chapter, and it was true. In this chapter, let them hold hands. In ancient times, it was not easy to steal fragrance.
