Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The next day, the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, was also Xiao Yuer's first birthday. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the Chu family does not dare to make a big deal and only invites a few in-laws, namely the Xie family, the Jiang family, the Yang family, and the very close Princess Rui.

Today, when men went to the Yamen, all the women and children came. There were not many people, so they entertained guests in the Zhuxuan.

Early in the morning, Chen Afu dressed up Xiao Yuer. Xiao Nizi is wearing a bright red gold brocade double-breasted coat and long skirt, with golden double-breasted buttons, and two small hairpins on her head. She is as beautiful as a doll in a New Year painting.

As soon as she was dressed up, Chu Hanyan put a red dragonfly bracelet she had knitted herself on Xiao Yu'er, which was her birthday gift to Xiao Yu'er. She said, "When my eldest sister learns to embroider, I can embroider more beautiful handkerchiefs for my younger sister."

The little girl's fingers are not very flexible and she has not started to learn needlework yet. Chen Afu plans to let her learn it after she is ten years old.

The two brothers also gave gifts, which were identical little white jade rabbits.

Speaking of this, everyone was amazed. Yesterday, their mother reminded them that their sister was about to give birth and they had to give her a gift. The two brothers both had private houses, so they went to look for them in the box, but they found the same jade rabbit.

Xiao Nizi liked the bracelet and the little white rabbit very much. She smiled and said thank you with crooked eyebrows, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Then, the Marquis of Chu, the Old Marquis, and the Second Master also sent people to deliver gifts.

Although the second master is a bit scumbag, he still understands human affairs better. Knowing that Chen Afu would not invite Mr. Li and Mr. Li would not give gifts, and knowing that his room could not be separated from the care of the Hou Mansion, he sent someone to deliver it. Gifts are not about high or low, as long as he has this intention.

Yesterday, when the two concubines Chu Lin and Chu Bi went to Mingheyuan to find the third lady, they quietly took two sets of clothes they had made for Xiao Yuer and asked the third lady to pass them on. They were afraid of Mrs. Li and did not dare to come, so Chen Afu accepted their feelings.

After that, Mrs. Chu San and Mrs. Shen came. Not only did they give gifts, but they also stayed here to entertain guests. Although Shen was Li's biological daughter-in-law, Chu Lingqian asked Shen to come, and Li did not hesitate.

Grandma Jiang and her eldest daughter Jiang Xiqiu came to the Jiang family. Mrs. Jiang went to the He family to visit Chen Yuhui early in the morning. If Master Jiang's complaint goes smoothly today, Mrs. Jiang will directly take Chen Yuhui to Chen Shiying's house in the capital to rest.

Princess Rui smiled as soon as she arrived, "Xuan'er knew that today was Xiao Yu'er's birthday, so she made a fuss and refused to go to school, so she wanted to attend Xiao Yu'er's birthday party. It was his father who kicked him twice that made him cry. Entering the palace." As she said that, she took out a ten centimeter long agate deer ornament and added, "This was given to him by the Queen Mother when he was born. He is usually very precious, but today he made sure to let me give it to him. Little birthday boy."

This small deer is exquisitely carved, smooth and smooth, and it is extraordinary at first glance.

Chen Afu quickly refused and said, "Such a good thing was given by the Queen Mother, so I'd better let Xuan'er keep it to add happiness and longevity to him. My little Yu'er can't afford it."

Princess Rui put the deer into Chen Afu's hand and said with a smile, "Why can't you afford it? Without you, he wouldn't have the good life he has now."

Then, Chu Hua came again with a pair of children, and Chen Aman came again with Yang Qian.

They are all relatives and familiar with each other, and the Zhuxuan was full of joy and laughter.

At the beginning of the morning, Xiao Shiyi sent Aunt Luo to deliver Xiao Yu'er's birthday gift, which was a set of small head noodles with cat's eyes made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a box of longevity peaches.

Just after lunch, Chen Afu received a message from Mrs. Jiang. When His Highness the Crown Prince heard about the misdeeds Master Chen's daughter suffered in the He family, he was furious and reprimanded He Linsheng for being unworthy of a human being, and ordered the two of them to reconcile. Mrs. Jiang has already taken Chen Yuhui to Chen's house, and will take the dowry back one step later.

Chen Afu secretly snorted, that Chen Yuhui was wicked, but he was lucky enough to have a father like Chen Shiying. However, although she was out of the sea of ​​suffering, her life in the second half of her life was definitely not as beautiful as she originally thought. This must be God's punishment for her.

Fortunately, this matter was directly granted by the prince. The official statement is that the fault lies entirely with the man, and it should not affect Chen Yuqing's marriage.

Chen Afu explained to Chu Hua the reasons for Chen Yuhui's separation. Of course, he did not dare to talk about Chen Yuhui beating the girl, but said that He Linsheng ran away and ruined the girl, so that the girl hanged herself.

She didn't feel sorry for He Linsheng at all when she told this lie. He deserved to die. But I feel a little sorry for the dead Huang Jue, that girl was innocent and pitiful. But for the sake of the reputation of the Chen sisters, she had no choice but to tell this lie. I thought that when the Chen family moved to the capital, I would give the Huang Jue family some pension money, which would not only forgive Chen Yuhui's sins, but also give me peace of mind.

After hearing He Linsheng's behavior, all the women called him "worse than a beast" and called Chen Yuhui "poor."

Chu Hua quietly told Chen Afu, "My in-laws and elders have already discussed it. When the Chen family comes to the capital for the New Year a few years ago, we will invite a matchmaker to go to the Chen family to arrange marriage."

In the afternoon, as soon as the guests were sent away, they received birthday gifts from Chu Lingqi, including Chen, Chen Ming, Wang Cheng, Chen Shi and others.

Before dinner, I actually received a gift and letter from someone sent by Chu Lingxuan. Not only did he give Xiao Yu'er a bright jade ornament, he also wrote her a separate letter, telling her how much he missed his daughter.

Chen Afu read it to Xiao Yu'er with tears in his eyes and told her that this was what her father told her.

Xiao Yu'er has no memory of her father. Although her mother and sister often teach her to use this title, she just doesn't know what her father is. She shouted several times with her eyes wide open, "Daddy--Daddy, Daddy--Daddy, Daddy--Daddy?"

From the letters written by the Third Master and Chu Lingxuan, it can be seen that the victory is now one-sided, and even all the barbarians in Nanzhong Province are on the side of the court. If nothing else happens, the war will end early next year.

Knowing this good news, the third lady and Chen Afu were very excited. The old Marquis and the Marquis of Chu were also happy and came to Zhuxuan for a drink.

This good news made the Chu family excited for many days.

The next day, Chen Afu went to Chen's house to visit Chen Yuhui with some tonics.

She was lying on the bed with a pale face and dull eyes. She was so thin that she lost her shape, making her face appear longer. When she saw Chen Afu coming in, tears flowed out. Said, "Are you happy? If you hadn't taken everything from me, I wouldn't have married that scumbag and wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Chen Afu looked at her condescendingly and said, "I have nothing to be happy about, because no matter whether you are good or bad, it can't affect my mood. I came to see you because of my father's request and to let outsiders see us. The love between sisters is deep and we think about my sister's future." He shook his head and sighed, "I robbed you of everything? What a joke..."

She was afraid of making Chen Yuhui angry, so she swallowed what she wanted to say. She ignored Chen Yuhui again, only gave a few instructions to the mother-in-law and maid serving Chen Yuhui, and then left.
