Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The Chen family has a Sanjin house in the capital. Chen Shiying will stay here when he comes to the capital to report on his work or go on business.

The house is not big, small and exquisite. Jiang lived in the main courtyard, Chen Yulan lived in the west courtyard, and the three girls Chen Afu were arranged to live in the back room.

There is a willow tree planted in the yard of the back house. Its branches have begun to draw green, and the new green is so tender that it can drip water. There is also a green pond in the middle. There are several koi carp in the pond, and there are several large stones piled randomly beside the pond.

The main house has five rooms and two wing rooms, and the east and west wing rooms have three rooms and two wing rooms.

Chen Afu and Chen Yuqing lived in the east and west rooms of the upper room respectively, while Chen Yuxia lived in the west wing.

The next day, Mrs. Jiang led her four siblings back to her parents' home, Jiang Mansion. Jiang's natal family is a prominent family in Huguang. Two generations ago, there was a household minister, and now many members of the family are serving as officials in various places in the Dashun Dynasty. It's just that he is not as powerful as the previous two generations. The largest official is Jiang's father, Mr. Jiang, who is now the third-rank Taipusi Qing.

Jiang is the most ordinary-looking daughter of the Jiang family. She even killed two of her fiancés, but the husband she married is the best among the daughters of the Jiang family. Although Chen Shiying was a student from a poor family, he was the emperor's chosen prodigy. He was talented, knowledgeable, and skillful. He became a fourth-rank official in more than ten years. Although he is only a prefect, he is the prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture, which is an extremely important strategic location. As long as you sit in this position, you will make further progress.

The Chen siblings kowtowed to Mrs. Jiang, who gave Chen Afu and A Yuxia a meeting gift, then held Chen Yuqing and Chen Yulan in her arms and called them "darlings, sweethearts."

Chen Afu knew that his "granddaughter" was an eyesore, so he took Chen Yuxia, led by the girl from the Jiang family, to see the flowers in the garden, and let the three generations of their direct relatives talk to each other.

Early on the morning of the 25th, the Chen Mansion hung up red silk ribbons and lanterns, and opened the front door. This was the day when the Chu Mansion hired people.

Since Chen Shiying was not here, Jiang invited her brother to come over and help greet the guests.

Chu Lingxuan and the great matchmaker Mr. Fu both took leave and came to the Chen Mansion in person to betrothal. The betrothal gift was sixty-four tons and the betrothal money was five thousand taels of silver.

Jiang followed Chen Shiying's wishes and put the bride price and gold ornaments and fabrics into Chen Afu's dowry. Chen Afu had six thousand taels of silver in the box. Just with this generous dowry, she is already an out-and-out little rich woman.

On February 6th, Chen Mansion went to Chu Mansion to lay down his bed.

Chen Afu's heart was also raised, and the wedding day was approaching day by day.

At noon on February 9th, the three sisters Chen Afu were sitting huddled on the kang in the east side room, talking and laughing, and Chen Yulan was sitting on the brocade stool beside the kang. Chen Shiying is here. He just arrived in the capital and came here after dinner.

The fourth sister and brother quickly stood up and saluted, calling, "Daddy."

Chen Shiying nodded happily and said, "Your eldest sister is getting married, so I want to spend more time with her."

Chen Yuqing knew that her father wanted to talk to her sister alone, so she took Chen Yulan and Chen Yuxia away.

Chen Shiying sat on the kang, patted the kang beside him, and said to Chen Afu, who was still standing, "Daughter, come here and sit next to daddy. From now on, you will be a member of the son-in-law's family, and you must observe etiquette." After saying this, he was still very serious. He sighed lonelyly.

It was normal for a father to be close to his daughter in his previous life. There is even a particularly heart-warming sentence: the daughter was her father’s lover in his previous life and is destined to be loved by him for the rest of his life.

But in ancient times, the relationship between fathers and children was not too close.

What's more, Chen Afu is already a seventeen-year-old eldest daughter and will get married soon. Logically speaking, Chen Shiying's approach is not appropriate. But Chen Shiying is well-read, and due to his personality, he belongs to the reformist group, and he is also a relatively emotional person. He never sticks to stereotypes in his words and deeds, and he can do this well.

Chen Afu was not the soul of this era, so he sat next to him.

Chen Shiying took one of her hands and said, "Fu'er never grew up by his father's side. He never hugged you, taught you to write hand by hand, taught you to recite poems sentence by sentence, and never fed you. Eating sweets and eating is a lifelong regret for dad. As soon as you appear in front of dad, you look like such a tall girl. Dad will never be able to make up for those regrets in his lifetime. Hey, from tomorrow on, you are no longer a girl from my Chen family. She is the daughter-in-law of the Chu family. Daddy doesn’t get along with you much, and even less so in the future. Daddy, I can’t bear to leave you..."

Before he finished speaking, his eye circles turned red.

These words of Chen Shiying suddenly awakened Chen Afu, no, it should be said that it was Chen Yanyan, who had buried the deepest memory in her mind. Before she was three years old, her father held her up high and deliberately pricked her with hard beards. It tickled her and made her giggle. It also made her mother laugh... She couldn't think of these things after she tried hard to think about them. The fragment actually appeared before her eyes. Moreover, the warmth and look in dad's eyes are very similar to Chen Shiying's.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she sobbed softly, "Daddy, daddy..."

Chen Shiying didn't hear clearly and thought she was calling "Daddy". Seeing her daughter shed tears, she felt even more distressed and quickly coaxed her, "My daughter, if you don't cry, even if you get married, you will still be your father's daughter. In the future, if Chu Ling If that boy Xuan dares to bully you, or if the Chu family dares to make you feel wronged, don’t bear it, come back and tell daddy. Although daddy is not as big as his family, daddy will not let his daughter be bullied. Dad can’t I have made you suffer so many grievances in the past and you will continue to suffer grievances in the future..."

When Chen Shiying and Chen Afu appeared in the main courtyard restaurant, everyone could see that they had just cried.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and joked, "My daughter is getting married, so I can't bear it, right?"

Chen Shiying was a little embarrassed.

Jiang smiled again and said, "Don't talk about Master, even I can't bear to part with you. Although Fu'er was not born in my belly, we girls are destined. We haven't been together for long, and she will get married. As for me, I can’t sleep well at all.”

After saying that, he wiped his tears.

She said it so pleasantly, Chen Afu quickly stepped forward and hugged her arm with a red circle, and said coquettishly, "Mother."

Chen Shiying laughed out loud and said, "It's true, women become emotional at critical moments. When a daughter gets married, it is a happy event, and she sheds tears."

After the meal, Chen Shiying and others went to the living room to talk. Jiang walked behind and saw that her husband and other children had left the room. She whispered to Chen Yuqing who was supporting her, "Look at your potential and your ability." Jealous?"

Chen Yuqing was really jealous and pouted, "Dad treats eldest sister much better than he treats me."

Jiang said, "No matter how good you are, you are also your father's only legitimate daughter, and no one can take this status away from you. Silly girl, there is no point in being jealous. Your father is our God, what is best for you, you Just do it..."
