On the twelfth day of the first month, Chu Lingxuan, the third master, and Chu Lingwei came back. came back with them, as well as the old lady and Brother Ming.

The old lady came back to celebrate the full moon for Xiao Shuangshuang.

Chu Lingxuan said very sadly, "My uncle and aunt both went to Tangyuan, no matter how we persuaded them, my mother did not agree to return to the vulgar." ”

Chen Afu was also very helpless when he heard it. Everyone knows that Lichen is not sincere to the Buddha, she is just ashamed, aggrieved, and unwilling. Let her stay in the Buddha gate all the time and be sad alone, and her relatives can't bear it. If she is really like the Empress Dowager Shan, she can only find comfort in Buddhism, except for the old marquis, other family members may also recognize it.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes. Because the Empress Dowager Shan is the Queen Mother, although she has long wanted to become a monk, for the sake of the emperor, she can only continue to stay in the palace. After the emperor really sits on the throne, I don't know if she can get her wish.

Chen Afu persuaded, "Mother-in-law is like this, which is also expected by us. When the child is older, we will ask for it. The so-called Jincheng is open, and the gold and stone are open, and one day the mother-in-law will change her mind. ”

Chu Lingxuan nodded and sighed, "That's the only way." He added, "My father also wants to have children, but he doesn't want my mother to stay alone in Yingxue Nunnery, so he has to stay in Fuyuan and go to Honglin Mountain every two or three days." Even if he can't see my mother, let my mother know that my father is nearby to accompany her. ”

He took out two small necklaces with rosewood pendants and said, "This is what my mother gave to Brother Li and Xiao Zhu'er, and she specially asked Master Gui Ling for it. ”

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the little pair is full moon. Early in the morning, the little brothers and sisters were weighed, Brother Li was ten pounds, and Xiaozhuer was five and a half pounds, and everyone was more satisfied with their growth. Although Xiaozhu'er is now lighter than many newborn children, she is healthy, likable, and much better than expected.

On this day, the Chu family held a feast, and most of the royal relatives and famous families in the capital sent people to congratulate. The old lady, Chu Lingxuan, the third master, Chu Lingwei, and Chu Lingzhi entertained the male guests in the outer courtyard, and the third lady took Chu Hua and Chu Hanyan to greet the female guests in the lilac hall.

Unexpectedly, Princess Rong and Feng Miaohua actually came.

As soon as Chu Hanyan saw Feng Meihua, she became afraid. The third lady squeezed her hand and whispered, "They are here to slap us in and show their momentum." ”

The little girl said sullenly, "I don't like them. ”

The third lady smiled, "If you don't like it, ignore it, the eldest sister of our family, even if she gives others a face, they can only look at it." ”

Rong and the eldest princess came over to greet the third lady, Feng Miaohua hid the unwillingness in her eyes, and came to pull Chu Hanyan's hand with a smile. Chu Hanyan didn't have a smiling face, and turned around to dodge.

The third lady smiled at Chu Hanyan and said, "Look, Rong Jing, Miss Zhu, and Miss Yang are greeting you, go over and play with them." ”

When Chu Hanyan heard this, she turned around and handed over a well-played handkerchief.

Feng Miaohua's eyes were red with anger, and she just wanted to scold, but when she heard Rong He's cough, she swallowed what she was about to say.

Before dinner, Empress Dowager Shan and Empress Zhang came to Yizhi one after another. The queen mother gave the little brother and sister two Qibao Yingluo circles, two strings of red musk beads, and two jade ruyi handles, and the queen gave the little brother and sister two golden unicorns and two small jade locks.

In the face of such an imperial grace, there is no one who is not envious.

After the meal, the guests watched the play, and Chen Afu took the two children back to the main room to rest. also invited Chen Yuqing, Chen Aman, and Mao to go to the side room to rest, and all three of them are now pregnant.

In mid-February, the weather was getting warmer, and the old lady was ready to take Brother Ming to live in the countryside. Chen Afu prepared a lot of things for them, including more than 20 sets of clothes from the inside out, as well as many daily necessities. The old lady and the old marquis did not have a woman Zhang Luo, and most of these things were prepared by Chen Afu. The old lady and the third lady are filial, and the old marquis basically relies on Chen Afu.

Xiao Yu'er heard that her grandfather was going to take her eldest brother to the countryside to see her grandfather, she was so sad that she cried every day, "The eldest brother and the second brother are going to change, but they don't take Xiao Yu'er, how can this be...... Woowoo woo ......"

Chu Lingxuan felt sorry for her daughter, and discussed with Chen Afu, "You see how pitiful your daughter is crying, just let her go and bring more people." Besides, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are also there. ”

As soon as Xiao Yu'er heard that there was a door, she looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and said with a pout, "Mother, mother, Xiao Yu'er begs you......"

Brother Yu listened, and also helped his sister intercede, saying, "Mother, let my sister go, I will take care of her." ”

Looking at Xiao Yu'er, who was stronger than children of the same age, Chen Afu nodded in agreement, and still said, "It's okay to go, but you can't stay for a long time." ”

When Xiao Yu'er and Brother Yu heard this, they cheered, and Brother Ming cried again.

Chu Lingxuan was given a headache by a few stinky boys every day, and he had no patience with them, so he frowned and reprimanded, "You've been to play, why are you still arguing with your sister? ”

Brother Ming was afraid of his father, so he quickly closed his mouth and sobbed silently.

Chen Afu pulled Brother Ming over, wiped his tears from him, and coaxed him a few more words.

They prepared to set off on February 20. As a result, on the first day, Chu Lingxuan received a letter sent by Uncle Luo, saying that Mrs. Luo felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to persuade her in person, and asked Chu Lingxuan to go to Tangyuan to help persuade her. They were ready to leave in early March, when the weather was warmer.

Mrs. Luo is sixty-seven years old and has been paralyzed in bed for more than ten years, and she actually wants to go in person.

Chu Lingxuan was moved and distressed again. discussed with Chen Afu, "My grandma is going to Tangyuan, so why don't you take the children with you." The old, the young, so many people persuaded her, my mother is hard-hearted, and she will be melted. And he said, "Not now, wait a little longer, in early March, when the weather is warm, and then go." ”

From the mother who is nearly seventy years old, to the grandson who is a few months old, this dose of fierce medicine will definitely not be able to resist the dust. If this can't make her return to the world, then she is really dedicated to the Buddha, and there is no need to persuade her again.

Chen Afu nodded in agreement and began to prepare the children's things again.

Chu Lingxuan went to discuss with the old lady again and asked them to leave later.

On February 25, Chu Lingxuan was not at home that night. Chen Afu took Brother Li and Xiao Zhu'er into the space together, and Jin Yanzi was going out again tonight.

Not to mention that Jin Yanzi is excited, Jin Bei is so excited. Jinbei is a good sister, it is not a migratory bird, but it is afraid of Jinbao's brother being lonely, so it has always accompanied it and has never been out of the space alone.

Jin Yanzi was even happier when she heard that Mommy and Daddy Chu would take all the children back to Fuyuan together, and chirped and said, "Mommy, bring the stinky treasure again." Let's go back together, reunion, how good. Without him, there's always something missing. ”
