After hearing this, Mrs. Chu felt a little better. asked his subordinates to bring breakfast in, and Chen Afu and the third lady led the Chu Lingwei brothers to breakfast.

Not long after, Mother Jiang and Mother Lin brought the two crying brothers here, and Chen Afu got up and went to the west side house to feed the child.

Let the two mothers take their children in the west side room, Chen Afu went to the east side room again, and saw that Chu Hou Ye also came.

Marquis Chu asked Brother Chu Lingwei to go out, and quietly comforted the third lady, "Third brother and sister relax, I have already sent several groups of secret guards to protect the third brother." ”

Chen Afu heard Chu Lingxuan say that although the Marquis of Chu has no real power, half of the emperor's secret guards are in his hands. Now that he has sent secret guards, it is still "several groups", and the danger factor of the third master is much smaller.

Mrs. Chu San was even more relieved in her heart.

Marquis Chu said to Chen Afu again, "Xuan's daughter-in-law should go back to Zhuxuan to prepare, you have to leave on time." ”

Chen Afu was stunned and asked, "We still have to leave today?"

Marquis Chu said, "The eleventh master is still in Dingzhou Mansion, and when you go back, I can rest easy." You can't help here either. ”

Chen Afu asked, "According to Master Wuzhi's prediction, if the third uncle goes north, there is a chance that something will happen. Another pill, isn't it?"

Marquis Chu said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. The third child already has a magic medicine, if something really happens, even if the dosage is not enough, that medicine can keep him alive temporarily. When the time comes, we immediately send someone to deliver another pill. But before the situation is clear, he is still afraid that something will happen to Xiao Eleven, and he must leave a medicine by his side, just in case. ”

Several people were discussing, and Chu Lingqi came to An Rong Hall. He felt from the attitude of the old marquis and the third lady that the third master's trip to the north this time seemed to be different from the past, but he couldn't guess why. He came to ask the family and Chen Afu if they were still going today.

The old marquis waved his hand and said, "Of course you have to go." Go ahead and take care of your sister-in-law and nephew on the way. I won't eat the farewell banquet at noon today, and you will leave directly when the time comes. ”

When Chu Lingqi heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, and gave the Marquis of Chu and the third lady a long slap to the ground.

The Marquis of Chu and the third lady each gave Chu Lingqi two hundred taels of silver to Cheng Yi. They knew that Chen Afu and his family were not short of money, and they gave her some Beijing specialties.

Hou Ye Chu hugged every child this time, and his eyes were full of reluctance. said, "Grandpa hopes that you will come to Beijing as soon as possible, and our family will never be separated." ”

The two children seemed to know that they would not be able to see their grandfather often in the future, and they both cried when they were taken away.

Chen Afu returned to Zhuxuan, and Princess Rui had already led Li Xuan here. Not long after, Chu Hua led Brother Heng, Chen Aman led Yang Chao and Yang Qian, and the grandmother of the Jiang family led the fourth girl Jiang to come. They gave some gifts and stayed here for dinner.

After the meal, the third grandmother, Shen and Chu Zhen, also came, one sent a large bag of food in the capital, and the other gave a handkerchief embroidered by herself.

After that, Chen Afu's mother and son and Chu Lingqi's family said goodbye to the farewell people in tears and went straight to Tongxian.

I stayed at the post house for a night, and went to the dock early the next morning to board the ship.

Chen Afu had something in his heart, thinking of the three old men in crisis, and thinking of his relatives who he hadn't seen in Dingzhou Mansion for a long time, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.

Chu Siwen wanted to go to play with his younger brother, but Song also stayed in the cabin and felt uncomfortable, and wanted to chat with Chen Afu, but was blocked by Chu Lingqi. said, "It seems that something big has happened at home, and my sister-in-law is not happy, don't go to ask for it." ”

The Song family knew that the second room had no status in the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion would not tell the second room any confidential matters. His own man is the concubine of the second room, and he is even more marginalized. Only the mother-in-law who has a heart higher than the sky and a thick heart dares to think about that high position, how is it possible!

Now, the second room not only flatters the Hou Mansion as a family, but also is squeezed out by the big house and the third room. Fortunately, his man is a concubine, and he often helps Chu Lingxuan, who is not in the capital, to do some things, and secretly maintains a good relationship with Dafang. is finally out of the control of the Li family, and in the future, his man can work wholeheartedly for the big house, and his own life can always be lived.

At dusk, I finally arrived at the canal wharf outside Dingzhou Mansion.

Chief Yang is already waiting here. After receiving them, he went straight to the gate of Dingzhou Mansion. Because Chu Lingqi's family has not yet bought a house, they will temporarily live in the General's Mansion.

When I arrived at the General's Mansion, it was already full of stars, and the half-moon hung obliquely in the sky.

Chen Afu opened the corner of the curtain and saw the familiar gate, four large lanterns under the gatehouse, and many people standing in front of the door bowed down to greet them.

The carriage entered the gate directly, and before it reached the second gate, I heard the cries of Dabao and Little Miss Chu, "Mother, mother, woo woo woo......"

There is also the cry of chasing the wind "Wangwang".

When the three of them heard this, they all jumped out of the carriage and ran to make love with the chasing wind who ran over.

When he came to the second gate, the carriage stopped, and Chen Afu couldn't wait to get out of the car.

Under the moonlight, Chen Alu led Dabao and Chu Hanyan, as well as Qiqi and Ash to stand in front of the second gate. The three children have grown taller, but Chen Alu is laughing, and the other two are grinning and crying, and they don't pounce on her as soon as they see her as usual.

Chen Afu's heart was sour, he walked over to them, and choked up, "Dabao, Yan'er, Alu." ”

Chen Alu smiled and shouted, "Sister, you're back, Dabao and Yan'er think about it." ”

When Dabao and Yan'er heard this, they were even more aggrieved, and they ignored Chen Afu, and the two hugged their heads and cried.

Chen Afu touched Ah Lu's horn first and said, "Brother." ”

Then, he squatted down and hugged the two children and choked up, "My mother also thinks about you tightly, and I think about it so much that my chest hurts." ”

When the two children heard this, they couldn't care about being angry, and they all turned around and hugged Chen Afu's neck and cried. Qiqi and Ash knew that they couldn't compete with the little master, so they stood aside and cried along with their voices.

Little girl Chu is not very good at expressing herself, and only repeatedly says the words "Sister misses her mother".

Dabao had a lot to say, "Mother, you miss me and my sister, why didn't you come back to see us earlier? We miss our mother and brother, and we are about to die." We're afraid that our mother only needs a brother and won't want us anymore......"

What a hearty child.

Chen Afu hurriedly said, "How is it possible, my mother likes Dabao and Yan'er......"

The mother and son (female) cried all one by one.

Ah Lu smiled on the side, "Dabao, Yan'er, come and take a look at Brother Yu and Brother Ming, they have grown up a lot, and they have grown teeth, grinning." ”

When Chu Hanyan heard this, she let go of her hand holding Chen Afu and ran to see her brother. The two children had already been put into a double stroller, and they were pinched by Alu and giggled.
