Chapter 421: Arrangement
Chen Afu played in Anrong Hall for a day, and he rested here. Chen Afu likes the feeling of getting along with the third lady very much, the two of them are like sisters, when they are happy, they smile forward and backwards, unlike the ladies who still care about their manners.
In the evening, Chu Lingwei and Chu Lingzhi came back from school, teasing the sassy mother and son for a while, and the third master of Chu came back again. He told Chen Afu that Marquis Chu had been busy these days and had no time to come and see the little brothers.
He also talked about the liveliness of the court today, and many ministers were on the fold, praising the emperor for teaching his sons well, and the princes were benevolent and filial, which made the emperor happy. There are also ministers who say that the second prince took the lead in proposing a "blood sacrifice", and filial piety can show the sun and the moon. Some people say that Prince Rui proposed "brotherly unity", which further demonstrates the prince's generosity and benevolence......
Listen to the third lady and Chen Afu are happy. Regardless of whether the disaster complex is not over, it is impossible for the second prince to take the credit alone.
The third master heard that he had hot pot for dinner, and Chen Afu personally prepared it, and he was overjoyed. said, "I like the taste of Xuan's daughter-in-law's cooking. ”
The third lady smiled, "I know that you like to eat the food cooked by Xuan's daughter-in-law, so I specially left her here today and took her to make your favorite hot pot." ”
The third old man laughed loudly and said to her, "Whoever knows me, so does Madame." ”
Chen Afu smiled secretly, if the third lady was a professional woman in her previous life, she would definitely not be treated well by her colleagues, and she also had the ability to grab the credit of others, and she would blatantly grab it in front of others.
After the two of them finished showing their affection, the third master asked the old man and the second master to invite the old man and the second master again, and after thinking about it, they asked the second master Chu Lingqi to come again. The third master, Chu Ling'an, is on duty today and is not at home.
Because I didn't want to be called Li, the other ladies in the second room didn't call it.
One pot for men, one pot for women and children.
Chu Lingqi came, and he also thanked the third lady and Chen Afu. After Song fell ill, the third lady and Chen Afu both sent people to send valuable tonics.
Outside, the wind is howling, the snow is falling, the house is full of fragrance, and the soup and meat in the pot are constantly tumbling. Everyone was eating happily, Chu Lingqi suddenly got up and knelt in front of the old marquis, and cried bitterly.
The old man sighed, "I know that your daughter-in-law has been wronged this time. Your daughter-in-law did the right thing, the 'warmth' donation of silver was initiated by the third daughter-in-law, and it is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, of course your own family should support your own family. That Li's short-sightedness made your daughter-in-law angry and sick again, and I have already sent someone to reprimand her. ”
The third master didn't want to say that his sister-in-law was not in front of his brother, but he nodded frequently.
The third lady at the other table said, "Lingqi's daughter-in-law is filial and polite, and we all like it." It's just that this time I was affected by it, because I was so wronged because of the 'donation of silver'. Fortunately, I was saved, if there is a missing flash, how can I be happy. ”
The second old man's face turned red, and he knelt down for the old man and pleaded guilty, "Dad, my son will clean her up when he goes back, don't be angry." ”
The old man snorted coldly, "She is this kind of short-sighted person who can't distinguish between good and bad, what's the use of cleaning it up......?" he endured what he was about to say, and asked Chu Lingqi again, "Are you willing to take your daughter-in-law and son to Dingzhou Mansion on an errand?" In this way, not only will you leave home, but you can also help your eldest brother do something. ”
Chu Lingqi glanced at the second master, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid my aunt will ......."
As soon as the second master heard Chu Lingxuan mention Aunt Fang, his face sank. Aunt Fang is thirty-nine years old this year, the first woman of the second master, and the oldest. He has a gentle temperament, knows how to advance and retreat, and has good massage skills, which is very popular with him.
When the old marquis saw the second son with a heavy face, he was so angry that his palms itched, if the second son was not disabled, he would have the desire to do it. scolded, "You have so many women, are you afraid that this one is missing, you are really good to her, let her follow Qi'er's family to enjoy happiness." ”
The old man said so, and the second master didn't dare to say anything, so he had to nod.
The old marquis asked the third master to be in charge of the order, and when the time came, Chu Lingqi's family followed Chen Afu back to Dingzhou Mansion.
After eating, Chu Lingqi sent the old man back to the outer courtyard.
The old man gave him a thousand taels of silver tickets and said, "Although the Hou Mansion has not been divided yet, you go to Dingzhou Mansion, and don't live in your eldest brother's house." You each live your own life, not only is life good, but your feelings are not easy to gap. Go and buy a house, which is your private property, and you can live by yourself. I know, you brothers, you are the poorest. Only rely on your little moon silver to save some private house, and your daughter-in-law doesn't have much dowry. Don't learn from you Lao Tzu to be so unproductive, hanging on women every day. In the future, if you work hard outside, your life will be up. ”
Chu Lingqi knelt down with tears in his eyes and kowtowed to the old man. He doesn't have much money, and he has to hand it over to his family. Twenty taels of silver a month, even if you never spend a penny indiscriminately, but some social entertainment must be spent, so you haven't even saved three hundred taels of silver so far. The money given by the old man can be used a lot.
The next day, there was news in the house that the second master and the second lady had a big fight last night.
I heard that the second master smashed the second lady's head and bleed, and the second lady scratched the second master's face with a few red marks. The second old man was so angry that he banned the second lady's feet for three months, and did not allow the juniors and aunts to see her.
Chen Afu laughed for a while, to deal with people like the Li family, it must be solved by force.
In the next morning, the Song family brought Brother Wen to Zhuxuan.
Song's illness has been cured, but he has also lost a lot of weight, and his little pointed face is pale. However, the joy in his eyes has never been before. Brother Wen gave people the impression that he was very quiet and cowardly, and Chen Afu had hardly spoken to him before.
Chen Afu invited Song's kang to sit, and smiled and hugged Brother Wen on the kang and asked him to bring him snacks to eat. said, "Ouch, the little hands are cold, warm up quickly." ”
Song got up and blessed Chen Afu, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." My second grandfather and I both know that the third aunt and sister-in-law have helped us a lot. ”
Chen Afu smiled and pulled her to sit down, and said, "The family doesn't talk to each other. ”
Song nodded with a smile and asked about the approximate price of the house in Dingzhou Mansion. also said, "The second master asked me to ask my sister-in-law, and I first said how could my sister-in-law know this." My second master said that my sister-in-law is the husband of the middle school, and she can run the dowry shop so well, and she has won the praise of the emperor and the queen mother, what else do you not know. ”
Chen Afu said with a smile, "The second master has won the award, where am I so capable." ”
In his heart, Second Master Chu is really transparent, he asked the Song family to tell him that they went to Dingzhou Mansion to open a mansion.
Chen Afu is a modern person who does not like brothers and concubines to live together. Far fragrance and near smell, distance produces beauty, are the classic language of the previous life.
She told Song what she knew. focused on the three-entry house that Chen Ming bought, which was especially suitable for them to live in.
