Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

In the haze, Chu Lingxuan saw that Chen Afu's eyes were still open and said, "Go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."

His voice was hoarse, and he was still trying his best to restrain himself.

Chen Afu said "Yeah" and closed his eyes. Jin Yanzi's voice came to mind again, "I didn't expect that stinky Dabao was still a prince. Mommy was really lucky. She picked up two treasures at once, one was a golden treasure and the other was a Dabao. No wonder he is called Afu. From now on, people will still call him Afu. Just call you Fu Ma..."

I rambled on for a long time, and even Chen Afu fell asleep while reciting it.

Chen Afu thought, Jinbao is really a treasure, and that big treasure... maybe it is a treasure, maybe it is a big trouble.

The next day, both of them slept a little deeply, but Xia Yue shouted outside, "Uncle, eldest grandma, it's almost dawn."

The two opened their eyes and sat up. Chu Lingxuan said, "Come in."

Xia Yue and Yu Huo came in and helped them dress and freshen up.

While I was cleaning up, I heard the girl outside reporting, "Mama Su is here."

When Chu Lingxuan heard this, he stood up and smiled, "Please."

The one who could be treated so courteously by Chu Lingxuan must be the nanny that Mrs. Chu San brought from the palace. She not only takes care of Madam Chu San's life, but also manages many affairs. Last time Mrs. Chu San went to Tangyuan without taking her with her, she just left her with the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. Apart from Madam Chu Third, only she could suppress Madam Chu Second.

She must have come to collect Yuan Pa.

After hearing this, Chen Afu quickly stood up.

Aunt Su walked in with a smile on her face. She is in her forties, very respectable, wearing a ginger-yellow brocade gown, a red gold hairpin inlaid with jade, and exquisite makeup on her face.

As soon as she came in, she blessed Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the eldest grandma."

Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu both smiled and invited her to sit down. The girl had tea, and Xia Yue gave her two more purses.

Grandma Su thanked her and took another sip of tea. Led by the jade bracelet, she went to the bed and took out the Yuanpa under the pillow. She looked at it, folded it with a smile, and put it into the brocade box in her hand.

He turned around and congratulated Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu again before going out.

After seeing off Nanny Su, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu dressed in casual clothes and had a meal before starting to pack up again.

Chen Afu still needs to dress more formally to recognize his relatives today. And because of her low background, she had to be more dignified when she appeared in front of the Chu family for the first time. It doesn’t have to be luxurious, but it must be decent.

The scarlet jacquard brocade long gown has a row of ten black double-flying swallow buttons in the front, and the skirt is embroidered with lotus patterns. It was joyful and gorgeous, and it perfectly outlined her waist, making her skin look even better than snow. The clothes had been scented with green-leaf agarwood before the wedding, and the faint agarwood seemed to be there but not there.

Hong Fei came to comb her hair in a Suiyun bun, and she wore red gold five-phoenix hanging beads, pearl earrings, and an jade bracelet given by Abbot Lochen on her wrist.

Xia Yuelai put on her makeup. She knew Chen Afu's preferences. The eyebrows should be light, the cheeks should be rosy, and the rouge on the lips should be mixed with balm...

When Chen Afu appeared in the east room, Chu Lingxuan, who was sitting here waiting for her, looked at her with a smile and said, "Well, very good, excellent."

When I walked out of the upper door, I saw that the yard was huge. Two gardenia trees were planted under the window of the main room, and a few bougainvillea trees were planted in front of the side room. None of them have bloomed yet, and only the winter jasmine in the flowerpot is fluttering in the wind. There are some rockery rocks in the middle of the yard, surrounded by a green pond with koi carps. I heard that when the weather is hot, some water lilies will be raised. There is an osmanthus tree on the left side of the courtyard gate, and a few poles of green bamboo on the other side. They rustle when the wind passes.

This courtyard is called Zhuxuan, where Chu Lingxuan lived when he was a child. Before, the courtyard was full of bamboos. It was after some renovations before getting married that it became what it is now.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "It used to be called Zhuxuan. If Ah Fu doesn't like this name, just change it."

Chen Afu really didn't like this name. It looked like a young master's study, without the warmth of home. However, she thought that she wouldn't live here for long, so she would just call her by her name for now.

After leaving the courtyard, go left through a flower path, walk through a verandah, and arrive at Anrong Hall, where Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu lived temporarily. This was originally the main courtyard where Mr. Chu Hou and Abbot Liao Chen lived. In order to allow the third Mrs. Chu to successfully take over the housekeeping rights from the second Mrs. Chu, the old Marquis let them live in the house. They knew their identities and knew that they would not live here for long, so they lived in the back room and left everything else intact.

Because the old Marquis lives in the outer courtyard, he will recognize his relatives here today.

After entering the hanging flower door, walking along the corridor, you come to the fifth entrance of the back room. Anrong Hall is bigger, with green grass, red flowers, beautiful trees and bamboos, and the yard is full of warblers and birdsong...

Entering the main room, the furniture here is all made of rosewood, and the floor is covered with cashmere rugs from the Western Regions. There is a deep agarwood fragrance floating there. Everyone was here, and the room was full of jewels, but the atmosphere was rather dull, and only Mrs. Chu San and Chu Hua could be heard talking and laughing.

This time they got married. No one from the Chu family's hometown of Huzhou came, nor did the Luo family from Shizhou Prefecture. There were only second and third bedrooms, and Chu Hua's family. No one from my hometown came because they didn't invite me, and the Luo family didn't come because they were angry. After Luo Chen became a monk, the Luo family never visited Lord Yong'an again.

The old Marquis was sitting on the left side of the Eight Immortals table. A man who was nearly forty years old was sitting next to him. Next to him was Mr. Chu San, and below him were men or boys arranged according to age. Then, the person next to the old man must be Mr. Chu Er. Chen Afu didn't dare to take a closer look, but just glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

The second Mrs. Chu sat on the first chair on the right, followed by the third Mrs. Chu, Chu Hua, a daughter-in-law and two girls.

They stood in front of the old marquis, and the girl brought two futons. They knelt on the futons and kowtowed to the old man, saying, "My grandson (daughter-in-law) has met my grandfather. I wish my grandfather a long life and good health."

The old man took a sip of the tea presented by Chen Afu and said briefly, "Well, my granddaughter-in-law will serve her husband well from now on and start growing up as soon as possible." After saying that, the girl behind handed over a red envelope.

Chen Afu agreed, "Yes." He stood up, took the red envelope handed over by the girl, and handed it to Xia Yue behind him.

Next, it was time to pay tribute to Mr. Chu Er. There is no need to kowtow, just be blessed.

Although Chen Afu has never met Mr. Chu Er, he has already found out who he is.

It is said that he was very knowledgeable when he was young, and he was a scholar before he became disabled. With her good looks, white teeth and red lips, and a jade tree facing the wind, she captured the hearts of many noble ladies. It's a pity that God hindered Yingcai and became disabled, missing an arm. After that, his temperament changed drastically and he became moody...
