Chu Lingxuan got out of the carriage first, and then turned around to help Chen Afu down. [with _ dream]ā

At this time, an officer in military uniform came out of the house and hugged Chu Lingxuan and shouted, "Lord Chu." ”

He's supposed to be the little boss here.

Chu Lingxuan also smiled and saluted him, and took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it into his hand. said, "My father-in-law relied on General Lin and his brothers to help take care of him, and Chu will always remember it. ”

General Chu quickly put his purse into his arms and said with a smile, "Lord Chen is a good official, he won't stay here for a long time, and the villain should try his best to take care of him." ”

Chen Afu didn't speak, only smiled and blessed General Lin, and General Lin hugged her again. Chen Afu handed him the package in his hand again, he had to check it first, and then hand it over to Chen Shiying.

After passing the Hanging Flower Gate, Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan walked along the verandah to the upper room. The courtyard was quiet, except for a few soldiers who would come out and walk from time to time, and I don't know how many guards were hidden in the house.

When I entered the upper room, the hall was empty. I went east again, and saw Chen Shiying sitting on the kang in the side room, and there was a Go board on the kang table, and he was concentrating on playing chess with himself, and he didn't notice anyone coming in at all.

"Daddy. Chen Afu shouted.

Chen Shiying raised his head suddenly. He was wearing a long satin robe with black gold embroidered flowers, which was made for him by the Jiang family a few years ago, and he was only sent in last time. He wore a jasper hairpin on his head, and his beard was neatly trimmed, and he cleaned himself very neatly.

However, his face has lost a lot of weight, his sideburns have gray hair, and his smooth forehead and the corners of his eyes have fine lines.

He was several years old.

Chen Afu's tears flowed out, and he shouted again, "Dad." ”

"Fu'er, it's really Fu'er," Chen Shiying was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got off the kang, and there was water in his eyes, and said, "Fu'er, dad can still see you." ”

This is ancient times, otherwise, Chen Afu would definitely throw himself into his arms and cry.

Chen Afu pulled his sleeve and said, "Dad, you are a good official, not only can you see your daughter, but you can also go out in a dignified manner in the future." ”

Chen Shiying nodded with a smile, and said to Chu Lingxuan again, "Son-in-law, quick, quick, sit on the kang, the ground is cold." Pulled Chen Afu to sit on the kang.

It was cold in the house, and there was no charcoal basin, but the kang was burned. When you sit on the kang, you will be warm. The furnishings in the house were simple but spotlessly clean. It seems that these sergeants still take better care of Chen Shiying, and he is indeed not guilty.

Sitting down, Chen Shiying asked Chen Afudao, "Your grandmother, your mother, and your younger brothers and sisters, are they all okay?"

Chen Afu directly ignored the question of "your milk" and said, "Mother is fine, but she is worried about her father and often sheds tears." The younger siblings are fine, they are all looking forward to their father coming home early for reunion. And Chao'er, chubby, looks very similar to Dad......"

Chen Shiying was very relieved to hear this, nodded, and asked, "Is my sister okay?"

Chen Afu said, "Fortunately, my mother also hopes that my father can clear his name as soon as possible." ”

Chu Lingxuan told him again that he had already sent someone to Jiangnan to find witnesses...... Now that the snow disaster in the north is serious, I don't know when this disaster will end, and the emperor and the courtiers are all thinking about disaster relief, and his affairs will be postponed again......

Chen Shiying said, "What is my matter, disaster relief is the top priority." Your Majesty, be merciful......"...

When he said that the emperor was merciful, Chen Shiying's voice was a little choked, and he arched his hand to the north.

After talking for more than a quarter of an hour, General Lin's voice came from the hall, "Lord Chu, Lord Chen, it's time to visit." ”

The three of them got off the kang, Chen Afu's tears flowed out again, and Chen Shiying's eyes were red.

Chen Afu put his arm around him and said, "Dad, you have to relax your mind, you haven't committed any major crimes, and you have so much merit, and your son-in-law is also helping outside, Dad's will be fine." ”

Chen Shiying patted her hand and said, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." The things your grandmother did have always weighed on your father's heart. For so many years, my father was panicked, for fear of being exposed, his reputation would be ruined, and his official position would not be stable. Now that I've said it, Dad's heart is relaxed. If you are not an official, you should not be an official, this is retribution, and the son-in-law should not be too embarrassed. Hey, I've just wronged my sister and Fu'er, if it weren't for Ding's desire to covet more silver, if it weren't for my sister's wit and forbearance, my sister would have really been sold to the mountains, and I don't know if you two would survive. If that's the case, my father will have trouble sleeping for the rest of his life. ”

Chen Afu said again, "Dad must take good care of himself, official, reputation, these are all things outside the body." Dad should take care of his body, you are the heaven of the family, if you fall, what will happen to the family. ”

"Yes, Daddy will. Chen Shiying said.

General Lin's voice came in again, "It's time." ”

Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan saluted Chen Shiying, they all walked to the door, and Chen Shiying said again, "Fu'er, don't blame your grandmother too much." No matter what, she gave birth to a father, and it was not easy. ”

Chen Afu pretended not to arrive at this sentence, turned back to Chen Shiying and said, "My mother is very difficult, she is a good wife and mother. Don't worry, Dad, I'll comfort her. ”

On the carriage, Chen Afu said to Chu Lingxuan depressedly, "My father is too emotional. The wicked woman harmed him like this, and protected her. ”

Chu Lingxuan said with a smile, "Father-in-law does have some kindness towards women. However, he should have guessed that you would pass on the evil deeds of the Zhao family to the elders of the Chen family, and intercede for the Zhao family in disguise. ”

Chen Afu snorted coldly, "That evil old woman has done a lot of evil and harmed many people, and she should have been severely punished a long time ago." ”

Chu Lingxuan said, "Say this in front of me, don't say it in front of others, especially not to the elders." Many people are the thoughts of their fathers-in-law, no matter how evil their parents and elders are, they can't say that they are evil, otherwise it will be a great unfilial piety. “

When the two returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dusk. Chu Lingxuan was directly invited to the outer study.

Chen Afu returned to Zhuxuan, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, he could hear the cries of the little brothers, they must be hungry.

Chen Afu hurriedly walked in, dispelled the cold in front of the charcoal basin in the hall room, and then entered the east side room, where the two boys were being coaxed by their mothers.

She said to the little brothers, "Good baby, wait, my mother will feed you after cleaning her hands." ”

When the little brothers heard their mother's voice, they saw that their mother had not come to feed them, and they cried even louder, as if they were about to tear down the roof. Today they are three months old, and after the morning, Brother Yu is fifteen pounds, and Brother Ming is fourteen and a half pounds, and they are very good. Moreover, the little one can already laugh out loud and look up. Marquis Chu said that he had never seen such a smart child, and Chu Lingxuan was far behind......

Chen Afu cleaned his face and hands, wiped the bottle with a hot handkerchief, and then went to feed the children's milk.
