Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu had just finished checking the accounts and was about to go to the kitchen to cook two dishes. She has been so busy these days that she has never been in the kitchen. She even wants to eat her own cooking. I heard old man Zeng come to report that there was a distinguished guest at home, Mr. Chen.

Chen Afu walked out and saw Chen Shiying leading the three siblings Chen Yulan into the yard.

Chen Afu thought that Chen Shiying would come here in the near future. This is the territory under his jurisdiction. If there is such a good new watermelon, he must be concerned. But I didn't expect that he would bring the three siblings with him.

She hurried over to give a gift to Chen Shiying, and the Chen Yulan sister and brother gave a gift to Chen Afu.

The three siblings looked around, and they were all very surprised. They felt that it was different from the countryside they imagined. In the courtyard, bamboo trees are shaded, flowers are in full bloom, the house is also decorated with carved railings and pillars, and there are more than a dozen birdcages under the eaves. The birds in the cages are very beautiful, with bright-colored coats and melodious calls. Beyond the courtyard wall, you can see the rolling green mountains. There is another beautiful scenery here.

"Sister, your home is so beautiful." Chen Yulan said, fanning herself.

"Well, I feel like the wind is carrying fragrance." Chen Yuqing smiled again.

Chen Yuxia only smiled and nodded shyly.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "If you like it, just stay a few more days."

Several people entered the upper room, served tea, and sat down.

Chen Shiying said, "Dad has wanted to come to see you for a long time, but he has been unable to find time. Today I am free, and your younger brothers and sisters all want to come and see you, so I brought them with me." He praised Chen Afu again for his gift. The watermelon tasted delicious, and I wanted to see the melon patch.

Chen Afu regretted, "I have picked all the melons in the melon field near my house a few days ago, and now there are no seedlings left. I am preparing to plow the land, add some fertilizer and nourish it, and plant autumn corn in a few days. You have to watch For melon fields, you can only go to Wangshan Village to see them."

Chen Shiying still wanted to go to Wangshan Village to see it with his own eyes, which would take half a day. I was afraid it would be too late to return to Fucheng today. Just say that after lunch, he took a carriage to Wangshan Village alone, and then stayed in Zhuangzi there for one night. Let the three siblings Chen Yulan return to Dingzhou Mansion in the afternoon.

Chen Yulan, Chen Yuqing, and Chen Yuxia were all unwilling. Chen Yulan said, "Dad will stay one night in Wangshan Village, and we will stay one night at my sister's house."

Chen Shiying shook his head and said, "You have to go to school tomorrow, so you can't delay your studies. After you have a holiday, you can stay at my sister's house for a few days."

Chen Afu quickly went to the kitchen to lead Aunt Zeng, Qiuyue and others in their work. Aunt Zeng has already made several braised dishes, such as braised pork ribs, braised pork liver, braised chicken, braised dried beans, etc. These are common dishes at home. The old Marquis comes to Fuyuan for dinner every day, so these dishes have to be cooked for him to drink with. Because Chu Lingxuan had a rest today, he was more prepared.

Chen Afu stir-fried bitter gourd fried pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, golden prawns, golden-hooked winter melon, and two-color mushrooms. He also mixed in sweet and sour cucumbers, sesame sauce cucumbers, refreshing watermelon rind, spicy and sour watermelon rind, and cold three shreds.

It's hot now, so eating these dishes is refreshing and refreshing.

When she was almost ready, Chen Shiying called Chen Afu into the yard. He blushed and said that he had brought some gifts to the Wang family and wanted Chen Afu to invite Chen Ming and Wang to have a meal together, "... Your mother is my sister, and your father Chen Ming is my brother-in-law. They are all relatives, so we treat them as relatives. Qing'er and Xia'er haven't met them yet, so they should give them a meeting."

Chen Afu guessed that neither Wang nor Chen Ming wanted to see Chen Shiying. Chen Shiying can treat them freely and freely, but they cannot treat Chen Shiying freely and freely.

But he had already proposed it, and he had no choice but to go, so he went to Luyuan with the three siblings Chen Yulan and the gifts for Luyuan.

Chen Ming, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen were talking in the upper room when they saw Chen Afu walking in with two girls and a young man in gorgeous clothes. Chen Ming and Wang knew Chen Yulan and guessed that the other two might be Chen Shiying's daughters.

Chen Yulan bowed to them and saluted, while Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia, following Chen Shiying's instructions, knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang, saying, "I have met my aunt. I wish your aunt good health and good luck."

Mrs. Wang quickly helped them up, and with red eyes, gave each of the two sisters a handkerchief she had embroidered by herself, and said, "Good children, this is a handkerchief embroidered by my aunt herself. Don't dislike it."

Chen Yuqing smiled and said, "The handkerchief is so beautiful. We all know that my aunt is good at embroidery."

Chen Yulan gave gifts, including snacks, candy and wine. She also gave Chen Ming a pound of bird's nest to replenish her health. She also brought some candies and wine to the old lady.

The few people sat awkwardly for a while, and Chen Afu invited Chen Ming's family to Fuyuan for dinner. Both Wang and Chen Ming refused, with the excuse that the old lady was here and they wanted to accompany her, so A Lu went to Fuyuan to accompany the guests on their behalf.

Chen Ming whispered to Chen Afu again, "When they left in the afternoon, we picked some fresh cucumbers and vegetables to give to them. Your mother just made a few cans of fermented glutinous rice and gave them two cans. For people in the countryside, they might just eat these game meats. like."

The glutinous rice made by the Wang family is quite popular with Chen Afu, and the well in Luyuan also contains agarwood wood residue, so it tastes very good.

Chen Shiying was a little disappointed when he saw that Wang didn't come over. But I liked Chen Alu very much when I saw that she looked very much like Wang. She was delicate, fair and well-controlled at a young age. Alu also kowtowed to him and called him "uncle". He gave Alu a jade pendant and encouraged Alu to study hard.

In the midst of the excitement, people from Tangyuan came, and only Mr. Chu, Chu Lingzhi and Chu Hanyan came. They said that Chu Lingxuan also went to Sanqing County because of temporary matters.

Chen Shiying and Mr. Chu were drinking wine at the same table, and several others were eating at the same table. Both tables were placed in the restaurant, with no screen in between. Even if there is only one more adult man, Mr. Hou, it will make Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia very embarrassed. But the food on the table was extremely delicious, better than food at home or even in restaurants, and they forgot to be shy while eating.

At the dinner table, Mr. Hou told Chen Shiying that the watermelon was unique because the seeds were bought from Fan Ren. Chen Afu also had other unique seeds in his hand, which were given to her by Master Wu Zhi. Nowadays, not only Chen Afu has planted rice and corn, but also their Tangyuan has planted corn on a large area...

Chen Shiying was extremely happy after hearing about the specialness of these seeds and the method of handling the seeds that Fanren and Master Wuzhi said. Said, "If you can really use those good seeds of wheat, rice, and corn to grow new products, like these watermelons and cucumbers, to increase the yield, improve the taste, and reduce pests and diseases, it will be a blessing to the people of Dashun."

The old marquis said, "These crops are planted, which is not only a blessing for the people, but also a political achievement for you as the parent official. Although our Chu family will protect Ah Fu, you are the parent official of this side, and some things also need your support." . Keep it secret when it’s time to keep it secret, and block it when it’s time to block it..."

Chen Shiying quickly expressed his position, "Definitely, definitely. Don't say that Fu'er is my daughter, she is just an outsider. For such a great thing that benefits the country and the people, all lower officials should give strong support."

PS: Sorry, in the last chapter Qingquan miscalculated the money earned from six acres of watermelon. It was not that much. It has been corrected.
