After dinner, Chen Afu began to pack up his things for Chu Lingxuan, and wrote a letter to Wang, Jiang, Zeng Shuang, Dabao and Chu Hanyan respectively. In particular, the letters of the two little things were written with sincerity and brought them many gifts. I broke my promise and didn't go back earlier, and I don't know what they will cry like.

Chu Lingxuan didn't come back until midnight.

Chen Afu was sleeping soundly and was woken up by Chu Lingxuan. She wondered how long it would be before she could see him again, so she was very cooperative with him.

Chen Afu's mind appeared in the fried golden swallow again, chirping and scolding, "Mommy is bad, I know that I have to talk to Daddy Chu today, and I don't take a glass of water to come in to give people a fire, people have nosebleeds again, Mommy is so annoying...... Ahh......h

Chen Afu panicked, pushed Chu Ling and preached, "Hurry up, others will laugh when they hear it." ”

Chu Lingxuan muttered, "Whoever laughs at it will deduct their monthly silver...... Concentrate, why don't you please your husband like you did just now......"

Chen Afu didn't know when he ended, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. I felt that I had just fallen asleep not long ago, and I heard the sound of Xi Suosuo, and Chu Lingxuan had already gotten up. She gritted her teeth and got up, served him breakfast, and then shut him out of the hospital, watching him disappear into the snowy night.

In this kind of weather, he had to run more than 200 miles on horseback, and Chen Afu was distressed. It was warm in the carriage, but Chu Lingxuan was too slow, and he wanted to rush back earlier.

Today, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the poor families are sad, but these rich and noble families who are not short of rice, grain, firewood and charcoal should still have a good time. Today is the day to go back to her parents' home, including Mrs. Chu San, almost all the female dependents have returned to their parents' homes with their men and children.

Chen Afu's maiden home is not here, and there is nowhere to go back. Chu Hua didn't dare to go out in this weather because she was pregnant. Therefore, there is a huge Yong'an Hou Mansion, just Chen Afu's mother and son in the inner courtyard, and the old marquis in the outer courtyard.

Chen Afu fed the little brothers, put on a little red carved silk cotton jacket and cotton pants, put them on the warm kang to play, and sent someone to invite the old man to Zhuxuan.

The old man, who was staying uncomfortable, was also thinking about his little great-grandson. The etiquette in the capital is stricter than in the countryside, and it is not good for a grandfather to go to the yard of his granddaughter-in-law. Seeing that Chen Afu had sent someone to invite, the old man hurriedly came.

The little brothers can already turn over and look up, and they can laugh out loud, making the old man laugh from time to time.

Chen Afu made fish hot pot in the west side room, although the big thick cotton curtain blocked, he could still faintly hear the old man's laughter.

In the next morning, the Marquis of Chu actually came and was directly invited to Zhuxuan.

He seems to have made a special trip to see his grandson, and brought them a gift, two small ebony arrows, saying that he had nothing to carve.

Chen Afu secretly said that he must be bored in the princess's mansion to carve these things by himself.

When he came, the little brothers fell asleep very shamelessly, but it did not affect his interest in watching, and sat quietly by the kang and watched them silently.

Chen Afu couldn't stay here, so he refilled tea for him and went to Westinghouse to read. The old man couldn't bear the loneliness even more, and played with the birds in the hall.

After watching it for an hour, Marquis Chu got up and said goodbye.

After that, he would come to Zhuxuan almost every day to watch the children, and of course he would pull the old marquis. It's just that the time is very short, two quarters of an hour at most, a quarter of an hour at least, and at one time it was only half an hour. Moreover, every time I come, I will bring gifts to my children, and there are all kinds of things to play with.

As the snowstorm fell longer and longer, more people were affected, and countless people and animals froze and starved to death, and the further north they went, the more they farthered. The price of grain in the grain stores is rising higher and higher, because of the inconvenient transportation, the grain transported from the south is limited, and many grain stores are also out of food. After the sixth day of the first lunar month, local governments began to open warehouses to release grain, but they still could not solve the difficulties.

As soon as the ancient people suffered a disaster, they began to think about the gods, and there were more excerpts to impeach Princess Rongzhao. Most of the excerpts from the previous year were deliberately made by the Chu family, in order to ban Rongzhao's feet. And now, the ministers of the DPRK and China are panicking, and many people think that Rong Zhao has offended the gods from the bottom of their hearts. Not only did Rong Zhao impeach, but some people began to impeach the Marquis of Chu and the Marquis of Yong'an, who had a relationship with Rong Zhao. Among the people who impeached the Chu family, the two princes and the party had the most people.

On the 10th, the Fuyunlai Commercial Bank and the Beijing Branch of Dingzhou Mansion donated a total of 60,000 catties of grain to the government, and released 10,000 catties of grain to the people.

Because of the good fortune to take the lead, many grain shops that still have stocks also began to donate grain, which greatly relieved the pressure on the court and saved countless lives.

These commercial houses and grain shops have been commended and rewarded by the emperor. Especially when the fortune came to the firm, the emperor personally raised a big plaque - righteousness and goodness are commendable, and the queen mother also issued a decree to commend Chen Afu, saying that she is a model for women in the world, and also gave two jade ruyi.

Chen Afu's righteous act won a lot of face for the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and there were many fewer excerpts to impeach the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

On the 15th, Mrs. Chu San, the lord of Huachang County, launched the "Warmth and Love Activity", taking the lead in donating money and materials, repairing houses for the victims, and buying quilts and jackets.

Because Mrs. Chu San was the leader, she donated five hundred taels of silver. The princesses in the palace and the ladies and ladies in the mansion also responded positively.

Of course, this idea was given to the third lady by Chen Afu. This kind of good deed that is both showy and life-saving, the third lady is very willing to do it, and took the "proposal" written by Chen Afu to see the emperor in the palace, which was highly praised by the emperor and the queen mother, and let the royal woman set an example.

Queen Wang, Sun Guifei, and Ma Shufei were so angry that they didn't expect this good idea. Queen Wang and Concubine Sun Guifei want to gain a good reputation for their son, and Concubine Ma Shu wants to wash away her daughter's bad reputation.

And this idea was put forward by Huachang, who was disgusting, and no matter how much he donated, it was Huachang who was in the limelight. But I didn't dare not donate, and I didn't dare to donate less. The Queen Mother donated 500 taels of silver, Queen Wang had to donate 300 taels of silver, and Concubine Ma Shu donated 200 taels of silver.

Rong Zhao heard about it and sent someone into the palace to ask the Queen Mother for instructions, she wanted to enter the palace to donate silver. The queen mother sent a grandmother to Princess Rongzhao's mansion to collect money, and she was so angry that Rongzhao's liver hurt, so she had to take a hundred taels of silver to the grandmother.

In the Chu family, Chen Afu was the first to respond to the initiative, donating 100 taels of silver himself, and 20 taels of silver on behalf of the little girl Chu. On the 16th, there was no movement in the second room. Mrs. Chu San knew that it was the Li family's troublemaker, so she sent the grandmothers around her to the courtyard of the second room to collect them one by one.

The second grandmother Song is the daughter-in-law of the concubine, and her mother's family is not rich, so she took out twenty taels of silver, which is already very good. The third grandmother, Shen's mother's family, is not rich, although her father is a fifth-grade official, but she is from the Hanlin Academy. But the third master, Chu Ling'an, is the only son of the Li family, and he should have some family background. She also donated twenty taels of silver, which is still good. Several girls, the second girl Chu Zhen donated ten taels of silver, and the third girl Chu Lin and the fourth girl Chu Bi each donated two taels of silver, which is also good.

But Li said that the "proposal" said that she would do her best and not "force donations", she had no money, and she would not donate a child. She didn't pay attention to dozens of taels of silver, she just didn't want to add icing on the cake to the arrogant third lady.

Mrs. Chu San sneered twice, and asked people to directly hand over the Chu family's "merit book" to the old marquis for a look.
