Chapter 319: Lady Diplomacy
10,000 starting coins for the loss of shears added
Princess Chen Afulurui's mother and son had dinner in Zhuxuan, and Chu Lingxuan also had dinner in the outer courtyard of King Liurui.
During this period, Chen Afu took Li Xuan to play a game. Maybe no one has ever played with him like this, he is very clingy to Chen Afu. In less than half a day's effort, the relationship between one big and one small is very good.
Even Li Xuan's nurse said incredulously, "God, Brother Xuan hasn't been so sticky to anyone." β
Chen Afu touched his little face and smiled, "We have fate. β
Xiao Li Xuan seemed to understand, raised his head and laughed at Chen Afu.
The next morning, Mrs. Chu San came back, and she sent someone to invite Chen Afu to Anrong Hall. Princess Rui was embarrassed to go, and wanted to ask Chen Afu to ask for the green leaf agarwood today.
Mrs. Chu San brought back a makeup satin to Chen Afu, which was rewarded by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes to eat that dim sum very much, saying that it is sweet and soft and glutinous, and it is better than that made in the imperial dining room. She kept half of it and gave half of it to the emperor.
Dabao's legendary father also ate the dim sum he made!
Chen Afu thanked happily. He also said, "It is my honor that the Queen Mother likes to eat the dim sum I make, and I make it every two days in these days in the capital, and the third aunt brings it into the palace to honor her old man." β
The Queen Mother is nearly seventy years old, which is considered an advanced age in ancient times. Chen Afu hopes that she can live a few more years, she is the backstage of the third lady, and the third lady is her own backstage. Look at how powerful the third lady is with her covering. If her body is better, the third lady will be better, and she will be better.
She not only hopes that the queen mother will live longer, but also hopes that the emperor will live longer, after all, the Nine Emperor Princes have not fully recovered, and Dabao has not grown up.
The third lady took her hand and smiled, "Excellent, I think so too." β
Then, Chen Afu told Princess Rui about it, and said that he would give her one in the future.
The relationship between Mrs. Chu San and King Rui was already good, and when she heard this, she took out the green leaf agarwood very generously, and said with a smile, "I used a small section, and there are so many left, give it to her." I also hope to cure Xuan'er's illness. β
Chen Afu took the green leaf agarwood back to Zhuxuan, and Princess Rui brought Li Xuan to Anrong Hall to thank Mrs. Chu San.
In the evening, I heard Chu Lingxuan say that Princess Rui's father, General Lin, was the commander of the left guard battalion on the outskirts of Beijing, and although he was only a second-rank official, he held a heavy army guarding the capital. General Lin is also the emperor's confidant, if the Chu family has a better personal relationship with him, many things will be easier to handle...... Chu Guangkai also has heavy troops, but the main branch of his power is in the north.
Chu Lingxuan also began to practice lady diplomacy.
Chen Afu thought that before returning to his hometown, he would give a doll with green leaves of Yan Agarwood to the child. Then ask someone to make him a few sets of blocks to develop his concentration......
The next day, Chen Ayu came to Zhuxuan.
At this time, Chen Ayu was a little more capable and mature. He is now the second shopkeeper of the main store of Hongyun Hot Pot Restaurant, helping Yang Mingyuan manage many things. He said that after two more years of study, accumulate some experience and contacts, and then open Xinglong Restaurant to the capital.
Chen Afu was more satisfied with Chen Ayu's statement, he did not say that he would reopen a big restaurant in the capital and get rid of the second room. He is like Chen Shi, more atmospheric than Chen Ye, and smarter than Chen Agui. If he really got rid of the second room, thinking that he would make a lot of money and have the best among the brothers, then he really couldn't live the good life he wanted to live.
You must know that with a second room, you will get the full support of the Chu family. In this era, big businessmen will take a lot of money to find powerful people as backers.
Looking at the handsome and steady Chen Ayu, Chen Afu liked it to the heart. Ah Lu and Ah Tang are still young, and they have to go through the imperial examination again. The economic alliance of the second generation of the Chen family depends on him to take the helm and carry it forward.
Chen Afu said, "Ayu is sixteen years old this year, right? Don't be in a hurry to get married, my sister will help you find a good girl with some background in the capital, which is also a help for you." After a pause, he said, "Of course, if you see a good girl you like very much, you can also settle on it first." β
Chen Ayu has Chen Afu, a cousin, and it can be regarded as having a relationship with the Yong'an Hou Mansion. Not to mention the official family, those big businessmen are still willing to marry him. In addition, he is stable and intelligent, and his appearance is good, and it is not necessary that the daughters or relatives of some petty officials are willing to marry him.
The key is to find someone who is good, if you find a stirring spirit like Rong Zhao, or the Li family and the Hu family, it will be bad, not only harming the man, harming the in-laws, but also ruining the next generation.
Chen Ayu blushed and nodded, "My brother listens to my sister's arrangement." β
At noon, he was left to eat in Zhuxuan.
On the 16th, the man in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing came to the Hou Mansion to kowtow to Chen Afu. The surname of this person is Zhao, although the surname is Zhao, but it has nothing to do with the Zhao family, the maiden family of Mrs. Chen.
Uncle Zhao said that the 400 acres of land were planted with winter wheat, and the growth was good.
Chen Afu nodded, and asked them to plant corn after harvesting the winter wheat, and the corn seeds would be provided by her, and when the time came, she would ask Yu Yongshun, the fiancΓ© of the jade bracelet, to transfer the seeds to him.
After rewarding the Zhao family with a purse, he asked Mama Li and her man Uncle Li to accompany them to have dinner in the outer courtyard.
On the morning of the 17th, the emperor's decree finally came to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and Chen Afu was named a third-grade lady.
After receiving the order, Dafang and Sanfang happily drank tea and chatted in Anrong Hall, and Chu Hua also brought Brother Heng to congratulate.
Li threw a few tea bowls in the room. She was so angry that she couldn't do it, a country woman turned out to be a third-grade lady, and there was a possibility of promotion in the future. And herself, she is still an official girl, she has been mixed for so many years, and she is just a five-grade pleasant, and the man's official is still donated, so don't think about it in this life.
Thinking that Rong Zhaoding is useless, she is still a princess, the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she can't even fight a county lord. If Rong Zhao Danfan had a little ability, he would also get the country woman to toss in the princess's mansion. In the princess's mansion that day, not only did she not let Chen Afu suffer, but she also let her daughter help her bear the disaster.
If you don't get it right, your wish to let Chu Lingxuan not have a son in her heart can't be realized.
What makes her even more depressed is that now her daughter has to go to An Rongtang every day to set up a rule for Changhua for an hour. That's not all, Changhua also sent a grandmother surnamed Qian to teach Chu Zhen the rules. Mama Qian detains her daughter in the yard every day, and she can't even let her daughter spend more time with her.
What's even more excessive is that except for family gatherings, Changhua only allows his daughter to see her once a month. said that she had taught her daughter for 14 years, and she taught her daughter to be shallow and childish, and she didn't have the bearing of a Houfu girl, so she couldn't meet her often. This unreasonable request was agreed to by the old man and her man, and even the son.
This Changhua is really domineering, as soon as she came back, she took away her housekeeping rights, and now even her own daughter has been taken away.
