The next person who came first had already chartered a small courtyard at the post station. The guards and some men lived in the inverted seat in the front yard, and the master and several personal guards and maids lived in the inner courtyard.

Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan lived in the north room of the east wing, and Mama Wei took Li Xuan to live in the south room. The old man and the second master of Chu lived in the upper room, and Wang Cheng's family lived in the west chamber.

Go into the house, put your things away, and go to the room to eat. Wang Cheng's family was nervous when they saw the grandfather and grandson of the Chu family, and they couldn't eat enough to eat together, so Chen Afu asked people to send their meals to the West Chamber, and also sent Wang Cheng a pot of wine.

What Chen Afu didn't know was that Wang Cheng and his wife hadn't eaten much for a few days in the Hou Mansion. The family was scared when they suddenly entered the rich house, and some people said bad things in one sentence. Although they later beat those people and sold them, Wang Cheng and his wife felt that they had caused trouble for Chen Afu, and they were extremely unhappy.

A lot of food is delivered every day, and they are afraid that they will laugh at them for eating too much, which will embarrass Chen Afu, except for the little brothers and sisters who eat with a round belly, they only eat a little full. Chen Afu also took a lot of tonic medicine to nourish Wu's body, and the two of them didn't dare to stew in the small kitchen.

Now there is only one Tan Pozi left in the house that Chen Afu bought for them, and there is no descendant of the Chu family, although the food on the table is not as rich as the Hou Mansion, but several people eat fragrantly, and Wang Cheng also drinks happily.

Thinking that he would finally be able to see his sister the day after tomorrow, Wang Cheng drank and shed tears again.

Wu smiled and persuaded again, "...... Our family can't stay at my sister's house all the time, and we can't always rely on Ah Fu to provide for us. Although the head of the family can get one or two pieces of silver a month, I can't do embroidery now, and my younger brother is so old, I have to let him study for two years before he can have a future. Before, Ah Fu gave the two children twenty taels of silver each, and when they left, Mrs. Chu San and the eldest aunt and grandmother each gave Cheng Yi fifty taels of silver, plus the money from the sale of the house, a total of one hundred and forty-eight taels of silver. It cost five taels of silver to buy tea and snacks and sweets for my sister's house, and there are one hundred and forty-three taels of silver left. Can we do this, first buy 20 acres of land and rent it out, and with the rent collected and the military sound of the master, our life will be very comfortable. We have the rest of the money to build a house, and we have everything. ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

The two took out the tonic that Chen Afu gave to the Wu family, and one of the ginseng in it was the most valuable. They wrapped the ginseng with the tea leaves and sweeteners they bought, which was a gift for my sister's family.

Wu regretted it, and felt that if he had known that he could see his sister so soon, he should have made clothes for his sister and Ah Fu.

Wang Cheng couldn't say that Lord Chu had promised that if the matter was investigated clearly, the court would compensate him, and he was sure to be an official. "You don't have to regret it. In the future, when I behave well and be promoted, I will be rich, and then we will honor my sister and thank Ah Fu. ”

Wu sneered, "If you are in charge, you are still an official?" Laughing to death. ”

Even Wang Xiaodi and Wang Xiaomei were very happy.

Wang Cheng said proudly, "Don't laugh, just watch." ”

There was a lot of laughter in the west wing, but the east wing was not so good. At night, Li Xuan, who hadn't seen his father and mother for a long time, began to cry non-stop, and Chen Afu and Mama Wei couldn't take turns hugging him.

Chu Lingxuan looked at Li Xuan, who was crying loudly, and felt very helpless. There is also a young master at home who is fighting with himself for Ah Fu, and here is another one.

Chen Afu had to take out a small piece of green leaf agarwood and put it at the head of his bed, the smell of the fragrance spread, and in Chen Afu's "lullaby", the little guy slowly fell asleep.

This agarwood is Chen Afu's own, and Princess Rui gave her most of it, and she quietly returned it to Mrs. Chu San.

Coaxed Xiao Li Xuan, Chen Afu sat by the window and waited, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Jin Yanzi still looking for him. This little thing, as soon as it comes out, goes everywhere, and it should always come back to report safety. I wanted to pinch my left palm and bring it back. But for fear that nothing would interrupt its playfulness, the little thing would lose its temper.

It rained in the spring at night, and the ticking hit the roof, making Chen Afu even more unable to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, the rain had stopped. When I opened the door, I was greeted by a burst of fresh air. The stone green pavement in the courtyard is still wet, there are many small puddles, and a few strings of raindrops occasionally drop on the eaves.

There was an old locust tree in the yard, and the new leaves were already hanging on the branches. The chirping of birds came from the trees, and many of them could be heard, not only sparrows, but also swallows.

Suddenly, Chen Afu heard a few familiar cries mixed in, chirping - "Mommy Mommy".

Chen Afu was overjoyed, lifted his skirt and ran under the tree, raised his head and shouted, "Is it Jinbao?" Is Kimble back? ”

A small black bird flew down from the tree at once, hung on the placket of her clothes, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Mommy, it's me, people have avenged someone." ”

Chen Afu ripped it off and held it in his hand, kissed Xiao Jianzui twice, and said with a low voice and a smile, "Well, well, Mommy knows, thank you." ”

Jin Yanzi happily stretched out her little tongue and licked her little pointed mouth, and chirped happily, "Oops, oops, Mommy kissed people several times." ”

Chen Afu raised his voice again and smiled, "Ouch, it's Jinbao, it's really Jinbao, what a coincidence, I actually met you here." ”

Originally, Chu Lingxuan was still laughing at her, thinking that Jin Yanzi was crazy, and when she saw Yanzi, she shouted Jinbao.

After listening to Chen Afu's words, the old man and Chu Lingxuan, as well as Xia Yue, Chu Huai and others, who were familiar with Jin Yanzi, all hurriedly walked over.

Seeing that this swallow's fur is slightly golden and slightly smaller, it is really a golden swallow.

"Hahahaha, it's really Jinbao." The old man laughed loudly.

Xia Yue said incredulously, "How does Jinbao know that the eldest grandmother is here?" ”

Chu Huai said, "Could it be that Jinbao can't find a home and happens to fly here?" ”

No matter what they said, Chen Afu happily brought the golden swallow back to the east chamber.

Li Xuan was woken up by the people outside, and he grinned and cried again. Chen Afu took the golden swallow to his house, and when Li Xuan saw the golden swallow, he stopped crying, and said a classic language with tears in his eyes, "The bird smiled." ”

After eating, they took the car to the dock. After getting on the boat, they waved goodbye to Second Master Chu, who came to see them off.

With the golden swallow's treasure, it is not difficult to pass the time on the ship. Not only did Li Xuan stop crying and asking for his mother, but even the shy Wang Xiaodi and Wang Xiaomei ran out to see the excitement.

At dusk, the big ship arrived at the canal wharf outside Dingzhou Mansion. Everyone got off the boat, and the head of the General's Mansion, Mr. Yang, had already led people here to pick them up.

When I took the car back to the General's Mansion, it was already dark.

Chen Afu entered the General's Mansion this time, but he was not the original needlemaster, but came back as the head of the house.

Outside the main gate, many subordinates stood to greet them.
