When Chen Afu returned to the Rose Courtyard, he heard a report from his subordinates that the shopkeeper of the trading house had come to the house.

Chen Afu asked Aunt Zeng to return to his house yesterday, and asked Wang Escort to send Chen Ming, Chen Ye, and the gifts that Chen Afu brought to Chen Shi's family.

In fact, Chen Afu really wanted to go to Fuyun to see the firm, but she didn't mention this request to the Jiang family, because she knew that she would not agree to mention the Jiang family. The last time he was by the Seventh Prince, not to mention that the Jiang family was afraid, even Chen Afu himself was afraid. Chen Afu asked Xia Yue to bring Zeng Jiang in.

Zeng Jiang reported the operation of the firm to Chen Afuyu, and the two discussed the next step. At noon, Chen Afu also asked Xia Yue to accompany him to dinner.

In the evening, Mama Jiang came to the Rose Courtyard and told Chen Afu about the rules and precautions for participating in the banquet of large families, and taught her some etiquette.

Look at the sky, it's time to go to the main courtyard for dinner again. The rule of the Chen family is that on the night of the New Year's festival and the tenth day, the family will go to Hengshouyuan to accompany the old lady for dinner. Every night, several children and Chen Shiying's Jiang family have dinner in the main courtyard.

When Chen Afu arrived, Chen Yuqing, Chen Yulan, and Chen Yuxia were already there, but they didn't see Chen Yuhui, and Jiang's face was not good-looking.

The sisters and brothers accompanied the Jiang family to talk, and waited until it was dark, and they didn't wait for Chen Shiying to come over. The next person came to report that the master had stayed in Hengshouyuan to eat, and let them eat by themselves.

Jiang said to Chen Afu, "You guys eat first, I'll go to Hengshou Courtyard to have a look." ”

Chen Yuqing's sister and brother all got up and said to go together, Jiang shook his head and went by himself.

After the meal, Chen Afu did not continue to stay in the main courtyard like their sister and brother to wait for the Jiang family, but returned to the Rose Courtyard first.

Chen Afu guessed that Chen Yuhui instigated the old lady to make trouble again. With such an old mother and daughter, Chen Shiying will slowly appease it. Chen Yuhui is really not smart, the old lady's movement is inconvenient, Aunt Tang is dead again, and now the backyard of the Chen family is the world of the Jiang family, and this old and young can't toss it at all. The only thing she can rely on is Chen Shiying's fatherly love and the guilt of killing her biological mother, if these are tossed away, she will have nothing.

She doesn't have a sense of belonging in this family, and she won't get involved if she doesn't mess with her. She just wants to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow, and hurry back to Fuyuan the day after tomorrow, she thinks about Dabao, and she also thinks about Wang's, Alu, and Chen Ming.

After a dreamless night, Chen Afu was called up early by Xia Yue and Qingfeng. Bathing first, there is also perfume and flower petals in the water, and the ancient people also knew beauty.

After breakfast, Chen Afu put on makeup. She has already thought about it, just dress modestly, not too prominent, and of course not too shabby.

The clothes were made in Fuyuan, the outside was a rain-soaked azure satin half-arm, embroidered with yellow and white plum blossoms, and the inside was wearing a lilac cloud satin middle coat and a light gauze jacquard skirt of the same color, and wearing the gold-inlaid jade head face given by the Jiang family. She looked in the mirror again and put on light makeup.

"The big girl is so good-looking. A few girls praised it from the bottom of their hearts.

Her clothes are not too eye-catching, but she is naturally beautiful, coupled with the excellent temperament she practiced in her previous life, she will be shocked when she dresses up a little.

Chen Afu went to the main courtyard, and Sister Chen Yuqing was already there. Chen Shiying also didn't go to the Yamen, he was the future in-law of the Chu Mansion, and he had to go to the banquet today.

Chen Yuqing wore the set of clothes that Chen Afu gave her before, not the clothes that the Jiang family gave her yesterday.

A smoky red brocade stand-up collar wide-sleeved short shirt, a pleated long skirt of the same color, and five light blue, apricot and yellow large phoenix tail buckles are the finishing touch. Because the clothes are cut more well, it seems that Chen Yuqing is even more shaved shoulders and willow waist, and Tingting is jade.

Chen Yuqing, who has not yet said her mother-in-law's family, should be the most prominent person for the three sisters of the Chen family today.

Chen Yuqing was very happy at first, this set of clothes was really beautiful and suitable for her. But when she saw Chen Afu, she was ashamed of herself again. has such a beautiful sister, and she seems to be more ordinary.

Chen Afu saw the inferiority complex and loneliness in Chen Yuqing's eyes, and looked at her makeup. She put on makeup, but she didn't cover the shortcomings on her face, and she didn't highlight her strengths.

No matter what purpose the Jiang family showed favor to Chen Afu, Chen Afu accepted her affection.

Chen Afu said with a smile, "Third sister, believe me or not, believe me and let me put on your makeup again." ”

Chen Yuqing laughed and said, "Of course I believe in Big Sister. ”

Then he went to Jiang's bedroom and sat in front of the glass mirror.

The girl brought water to clean her face, and Chen Afu began to put on makeup for her, and said while putting on makeup, "My sister's eyes are the most beautiful, curved like crescent moons, with a kind of joy and charm." Therefore, you should highlight the curve, and not draw the eyeliner upwards like others...... My sister's lips are a little plump, so I can't use bright red, the color should be rose-red or Yang Fei, and add some moist balm to make it look soft and moist...... Blush should be worn like this to look ...... Hairstyles should also be changed......"

Chen Yuqing looks more like Jiang's, with average facial features and a little tough. But one good thing is that he not only has a pair of smiling eyes, but also likes to laugh.

Chen Afu reminded her again and let her continue to carry forward the virtue of laughing.

More than two quarters of an hour later, when Chen Yuqing appeared in the hall again, not to mention the rave reviews from the people, even Jiang's mouth was shocked. It turns out that his daughter can be so beautiful!

Jiang had seen enough of his daughter, and nodded to Chen Afu to express his gratitude. Qing'er is fourteen years old, and some people have mentioned the idea of getting married before, but for one reason or another, she and Chen Shiying are not in love. She hopes that there will be good people who will take a fancy to her daughter today......

Chen Shiying also nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he couldn't figure out why his daughters didn't inherit his merits. Fortunately, when I saw that Chen Afu was very similar to him, I felt less regret in my heart.

Chen Shiying rode alone in a carriage, and Jiang took three girls in a carriage.

More than two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at the Chu Mansion.

The female dependents were led directly to the flower hall in the inner courtyard. And what led the way for several women of the Chen family was the jade bracelet that had served Chen Afu before, and it was Chu Lingxuan who specially sent her to wait for Chen Afu here and serve her.

On the way, Yu Bang said that since there was no adult hostess in Dingzhou Chu Mansion, the eldest second lady of Chu was the elder of the Chu family, and the female dependents in the inner courtyard were received by Chu Lingxuan's sister Chu Hua and cousin-in-law Luo Si Grandma......

When she came to the door of the flower hall, the girl reported in a loud voice, "Mrs. Chen, Miss Chen, Miss Chen, Miss Chen, and Miss Chen have arrived." ”

It stands to reason that the Chen family is the future in-laws of the Chu family, and the second lady of Chu should stand up to greet her. But when they entered the flower hall, they saw the middle-aged woman sitting there on the main seat, laughing and laughing with the guests on either side.

Jiang's face turned red all of a sudden.

They were a little unable to get off the stage, when they saw Grandma Luo Si and a young beautiful woman in her early twenties greeting them with a smile.
