Dabao nodded, and then took his mother's hand and entered the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info also said, "Mother, I saw Uncle Chu smiling." ”

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Nonsense." It's so far away, not to mention the black light, you can't see him smiling even in broad daylight. ”

Dabao pouted, "Anyway, I just think he smiled at us." ”

After returning to the West Chamber, Chen Afu told a few stories to the three children, and then sent Dabao and Yang Chao to the East Chamber, sleeping with Ah Lu, and she took Yang Qian's little girl to sleep in the West Chamber.

Zeng Xiaoqing came in with water and served them to wash. When she saw people washing, Chaifeng, Qiqi, and Ash were waiting on the side, which was a little incredible.

Chen Afu smiled, "They are waiting to wipe their bodies and feet." ”

After she carried Yang Qian to bed, she went back to the hall and put the special handkerchief in the basin to wet it and wring it out. I saw that they stretched their necks first, and after Chen Afu wiped their faces and bodies clean, he raised his left foot, and after wiping his left foot, he raised his right foot. After wiping the three little things in turn, he went to his own nest in the south house, waiting for Chen Afu to cover them with a small quilt.

Chen Afu helped them cover the quilt and said, "Good night, baby." ”

After closing the door of the south house, Chen Afu said to Zeng Xiaoqing, "Don't look at them as dogs and parrots, we all treat them as our own family." Now it's cold, and it's usually half a month to bathe them. But clean their mouths every morning and wipe their feet every night......"

Maybe the two parrots were too excited to play today, and they could still be heard in the house shouting, "Practice, one, two, two, three, four, ......."

Chen Afu opened a crack in the south room and scolded, "Besides, I won't give you food tomorrow." ”

The two parrots were honest.

Zeng Xiaoqing covered her mouth and was happy. There was still a little bit of frustration from the city to the countryside at the beginning, but now there is no more at all.

Just after the next hour, Steward Luo and Luo Yuan came in a carriage. They not only sent nine sheep, but also sent ten jars of wine, two of which were made of tribute wine and blue and white wine, six hams, a basket of apples, ten catties of refined sugar, twenty catties of jujubes, one hundred catties of refined white flour, ten catties of rouge rice, four horses of satin and other things, pulling six wagons full of six horses. said that this is the New Year's goods sent by Tangyuan, and wrote a list very formally.

Chen Ming and Wang looked at so many things and smacked their tongues, "God, how can we afford it, how can we afford it." ”

Chen Afu said with a smile, "You forgot, Lord Chu specifically said yesterday that when his grandfather comes, let us make hot pot a few more times." I see, his grandfather not only wants to come to our house to eat hot pot, but most of the food will be solved at our house. There are some things, if you can't get it, it's the old man's rations. Blue and white stuffed and rouge rice, these two precious things, let's not move, keep them for the old man. ”

Chen Ming nodded, and said, "Do you want to add some of these good things to the gifts for my mother and my eldest brother?" They have already bought New Year's gifts for the big house in the county seat, and they have food, drink, and clothing.

Chen Afu nodded and said, "Okay, let's add them another ham, two leg of mutton, a jar of wine, ten catties of apples, and a piece of satin." ”

This time the big house was really good, not only did he not sell his conscience for the fifty taels of silver, but he also came to Luyuan to report to them. In doing so, they are taking a certain amount of risk. Chen Ming and Chen Afu both remembered this feeling.

Wang said again, "Tangyuan has given us New Year's gifts, do we have to give them too?"

Before, they only prepared some New Year's gifts for Steward Luo's family, and also made two sets of clothes for the little girl Chu Hanyan. But people sent so many things first, and they said that they were New Year's gifts, so it was not good not to give them them.

Chen Afu said, "I have to give it to them." After thinking about it, he said, "Everyone in their family likes to eat sweets, so let's make some rare snacks for them." ”

Then, he sent away the little brother and sister of Yang Chao, who were crying heartbreakingly. This time, Chen Afu made a set of clothes for each of the little brothers and sisters, and gave them ten catties of apples and a basket of home-made snacks.

Tangyuan came to pick her up from four nursing homes, and Chen Afu led Dabao, Chasing the Wind, Qiqi and Ash to work in Tangyuan. Wangcai still wanted to find the way, but Alu didn't allow it to go and let it look after the house at home.

Seeing Wangcai's tearful eyes, Dabao promised to bring good food back from Tangyuan to it, so that it would be better.

At noon, after eating in Tangyuan, Chen Afu led the bodyguards and hurriedly returned to Luyuan to make snacks. She wanted to make it earlier and give it to Tangyuan, there are few owners in Tangyuan, and the snacks she made are relatively rare, maybe Tangyuan can be given to other families as a New Year's gift.

She was going to send Tangyuan 20 catties of glutinous rice dates, 20 catties of golden silk cakes, 20 catties of ququ biscuits, 20 catties of plum blossom cakes, and 20 catties of doughnuts. These add up to exactly one hundred catties, plus two sets of little girl's coats, two middle clothes, two pairs of shoes, and six pairs of socks, which is also considered a New Year's gift for their own family.

Now that there are many people, there is a lot of power, and these snacks were made in two days.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Chen Ming led Ah Lu and Dabao to send the New Year's gift to Tangyuan very solemnly. Steward Luo received them very solemnly in the outer courtyard of Tangyuan, invited them to drink tea for a while, Chen Mingcai took Ah Lu back to Luyuan, and Chen Dabao went directly into the inner courtyard.

After that, Chen Ming led Chen Lu to give Steward Luo a New Year's gift, including a set of clothes made for Steward Luo and Aunt Luo, as well as some food and snacks.

At noon, Chen Afu had dinner in Tangyuan and returned to Luyuan with his bodyguards.

From a distance, she saw two carriages parked at the gate of Luyuan. The guests who went to their own house, except for the people in Tangyuan, only Yang Mingyuan could drive the carriage. Yang Mingyuan is in the capital, and the little brother and sister have only been gone for two days, so it is impossible for them to come from home.

Who could that be? Chen Afu and the others hurried home.

Before she reached the wall of Fuyuan Courtyard, she saw Zeng Xiaoqing running towards her quickly. Zeng Xiaoqing saw Chen Afu and ran faster. Running closer, she panted and said, "Big girl, there are a few guests in the house." There is an old lady, she said that she is the mother of the prefect Chen, and she has something to discuss with you......"

It turned out that there were a few uninvited guests in Luyuan, including five women and two men.

Chen Afu was not afraid when he heard this combination, he had several strong laborers at home, plus the bodyguards around him, and his family would definitely not suffer if he really fought.

I just don't know what that old lady is looking for herself, and whether she will bully the Wang family again. Chen Afu stepped up and walked towards Luyuan.

When I entered the Lu Garden, I saw Old Man Zeng's father and son, Xue Dagui, and Chu Xiaoniu all standing in the courtyard. There are also two men, Zhao Lizheng and another man he doesn't know.

Zhao Lizheng saw Chen Afu and bowed politely. Chen Afu ignored him, turned back to the four nurses who followed her, and said, "You guys are just waiting outside." Then, walk briskly to the upper room.

In the upper room, Chen Ming, who had a calm face, sat on the left side of the Eight Immortals table, and on the right side sat an old lady of about fifty.
