Chen Afu is pregnant and can't be tired, mainly because Chu's grandmother Song is helping to greet guests.

Because Luo Xunfu helped Chen Shiying, the Jiang family came to express their gratitude to Luo Si's grandmother, and invited them to go to Chen's mansion to play.

Chen Afu introduced Luo Ying to Chen Yuqing again, and the two little girls became good friends without much effort.

There are not many guests today, except for Chu Hua and a few people, they are all some relatives and friends in Dingzhou Mansion. Because the first birthday banquet of the little brothers is half a month later, many friends from Chu Lingxuan's foreign countries will come to congratulate at that time.

After the meal, after the meeting, the guests left one after another. Chu Hua and Grandma Luo Si will stay in the house for one night, and they will go back to Luojiazhuang tomorrow to accompany Chen. Because Luo Ying has to make clothes, Luo Ying will stay in the house for a few more days.

Chen Yuqing also likes Chu Hanyan's set of clothes, Chen Afu asked her to go to the Nishang Embroidery Workshop with Luo Ying tomorrow to choose materials and measure their sizes, and give them a set.

This kind of clothing also quietly rose in Dingzhou Mansion, and then spread farther and farther until it spread to the capital and even further north, as well as to the south of the Yangtze River and even further south. Of course, that's another story.

Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu began to get busy again. Chu Lingxuan was so busy with official business that it was almost difficult for him to go home for a night. Chen Afu was busy with the birthday banquet on October 1 and taking care of the children.

Busy time always flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of September.

At the end of the 28th, Luo Xunfu secretly arrived at Luojiazhuang. In addition to the old marquis, Chu Lingzhi and Li Xuan, Chu Lingxuan's family went to Luojiazhuang to greet him, and Chen Shiying, who knew the news, also went. Luo Xunfu is the first local administrator of Northern Hebei Province, and he didn't dare to tell anyone else today, otherwise Luojiazhuang would not be quiet.

Chu Lingxuan, Chen Shiying, Luo Siye, and Dabao greeted them outside the courtyard gate, and Chen Afu and Luo Si's grandmother and several women and children greeted them at the second gate, and even the dust came out.

Knowing that his brother was coming today, Lichen had been restless and excited since morning.

Around the end of Shen Shi, there was a commotion in the front yard, and Chen's eyes turned red. She has the best relationship with her eldest brother, and when something happens at home, her eldest brother works as a waiter in the household department. But because of her, the eldest brother went to Jibei Province to be the governor. Not only because he was angry and unwilling to continue to stay in the capital, but also to take better care of his sister.

Chen Shiying met Luo Xunfu outside the gate, and after expressing his gratitude, he did not follow them into the second gate. Now there are not only daughters' families in the inner courtyard, but also daughters of the Luo family and the Chu family. He would wait in the front yard until it was dark, and then go to Mrs. Zhao's and stay there for another night.

Luo Xunfu wore a navy blue embroidered auspicious moire pattern brocade robe, about fifty, with a jade face and a long beard, and he looked very dignified.

As soon as he entered the second door, Lichen stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and cried.

Looking at his sister who was wearing plain clothes and a monk's hat, Luo Xunfu was also very sad. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Sister, my brother is useless and has made you suffer." My mother is still thinking about you, you have to take good care of your body, and go to visit her old man in the future. ”

At the mention of the old lady, Lichen cried even more. choked up, "It's the sister who is not filial, and the angry mother is seriously ill......"

Chu Hua came over and helped Chenchen and persuaded, "Mother, uncle, I have something to say and sit down." ”

The crowd was noisy for a while, and entered the upper hall. Luo Xunfu and Lichen sat on the seat, Chen Afu took Chu Hanyan and a pair of sons to Luo Xunfu, they saw this uncle (uncle and grandfather) for the first time, and they wanted to kowtow.

Dabao also consciously stood in line with them, and he also had to kowtow. He had already made a gesture to Luo Xunfu when they met, but Chu Lingxuan didn't let him salute again, who knew that he was so conscious. He is like this, and people who don't know the inside story think that he should be like this, but people who know the inside story are not easy to persuade much.

Luo Xunfu already knew Dabao's special background, and Dabao was very uncomfortable kowtowing to him, and he owed it.

He glanced at Chen Afu two more times, this nephew and daughter-in-law are not only good-looking, but also full of heaven and fat earlobes, and indeed have a blessed appearance. Look at Sister Yan and the little brothers, Sister Yan has bright eyes and bright teeth, where is there a trace of dementia. The little brothers are smart and strong, and they will kowtow themselves when they turn one year old tomorrow. Although the posture is not standard, and I almost didn't crawl on the ground, it was already very difficult.

There is also the honorable Little Eleven, who is smart and clever, with sparse eyebrows, and teaches very well. I heard that Lord Rui's sister-in-law was also sent to be raised by her, which is really not simple.

Luo Xunfu nodded to Chu Lingxuan and said with satisfaction, "Well, your daughter-in-law is good, and she is a wise and intelligent person." He gave each of them a greeting gift.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and nodded.

Luo Xunfu seemed to be praising the children with their parents, which made Chen Afu very embarrassed.

The banquet was placed in the hall of the upper room of the main courtyard. After dinner, Luo Xunfu went to the side room with Lichen to talk alone, and the rest of the people didn't bother their brothers and sisters, talking and laughing in the hall.

Brother Yu and Brother Ming had just learned to walk on their own, and they circled around the center of the hall with great interest. Although he was staggering and stumbled from time to time, he was not allowed to be led by his mother or helped by others, but he got up on all fours and continued to walk. Fortunately, I am wearing a jacket now, and I have a velvet blanket on the ground, and it doesn't hurt when I fall.

In fact, Chen Afu was not willing to let them walk too early and for too long. In her previous life, she had heard young mothers say that children walk early and are not good for their legs and eyes. But these two little ones were very thoughtful and cried when they didn't let them go. Moreover, they may really stay in the space for a long time, and they are stronger, smarter, and develop earlier than babies of the same age.

They walked, dangled, fell, and crawled, drawing the purpose of the crowd to it. People didn't care to speak, and they all looked at the little brothers with interest.

But there is also a difference between the two little brothers, Brother Yu falls one, Brother Ming has to fall three, and Brother Ming'er's coordination ability is obviously not as good as Brother Yu'er. But Brother Ming has learned to say four monotones, "mother", "father", "milk", and "eat", while Brother Yu can only say one monophony, which is "hit".

While laughing, Steward Luo quietly entered the hall and whispered a few words in Chu Lingxuan's ear. Chu Lingxuan nodded, got up and went to the front yard with him.

After a while, Chu Lingxuan returned to the hall and whispered to Luo Siye and his wife and Chu Hua, "I have a friend from the army who came to the front yard to meet Ah Fu and the children. ”

Fourth Master Luo hurriedly said, "You guys, please." ”

Chu Lingxuan lowered his body and picked up the little brothers one by one, Hongfei came over to help Chen Afu, and Chen Dabao took Chu Hanyan very consciously and went out together.

The two mothers of the little brothers didn't move, and the uncle didn't let them follow like this.

Seeing Dabao's initiative, Chu Lingxuan twitched the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly. Originally, Chu Lingxuan didn't want to take Dabao there. But the boy had a lot of thoughts, and if he was not taken away, he was afraid that he would be displeased.

When he came to the courtyard, Chu Lingxuancai whispered to Chen Afu, "It's my father who came." ”
