On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the third lady and Chen Afu led Chu Hanyan, the little brothers, Xiao Yu'er, and the second concubines Chu Lin and Chu Bi to King An's Mansion together.

Chu Lin and Chu Bi are thirteen years old, and they have been looking at their in-laws since last year. Although they are second-room concubines, their fathers have no skills, and their mothers-in-law are not in tune, but the Chu family is getting stronger, and they are also handsome and lovely, and they can always find a concubine with a decent family background, or a concubine with a lower family background.

A few months ago, someone told Chu Lin about family affairs, and the Li family and the second master actually agreed. The door of the Housheng family is high enough, the second son of the Hou Mansion of Chengen. It's just that everyone in the capital knows that this Xiao Ergongzi is not only a broken sleeve, but also has a violent temper, does not learn and has no skills, and the daughters of good families are unwilling to marry in.

The Xiao family's vision was quite high before, and they always wanted to find the right daughter. So until now, Xiao's second son is already twenty-five years old and has not yet married a daughter-in-law.

At the end of last year, there was another scandal of Xiao Ergongzi beating Chu Lou's little man, but the Xiao family spent money to find a substitute for the dead ghost to suppress this matter. Now that the Xiao family has lowered its conditions, as long as the door is right, the good-looking concubine is fine.

The Xiao family fell in love with the Chu family and sent the daughter-in-law of the head of the family to find the Li family to say goodbye. also hinted that if this family affair is completed, in addition to giving a bride price worth 10,000 taels of silver, the Chengenhou Mansion will also give an additional 5,000 taels of silver in private.

When Li heard this, he agreed, and went to persuade the second master.

The second master thought about it, and sacrificing a concubine not only added 5,000 taels of silver, but also helped his son's future, so he agreed.

After the old marquis got the news, he angrily scolded the second master, and kicked him a few times, saying that the Chu family couldn't do anything to sell their daughters, even if they were concubines. This family business was not said.

After that, the old marquis handed over the matter of kissing Chu Lin and Chu Bi to the third lady. The third lady stayed at home and was bored, but she also sympathized with the two Nizi, so she promised to come down. At this lotus banquet, although King An's Mansion did not invite people from the second room, the third lady still brought the two girls with her.

When he arrived at King An's Mansion, the sedan chair went directly to Hanlian Xuan, which was not far from Mingyan Lake.

As soon as Chen Afu got out of the sedan chair, he pushed a fancy stroller over. It's not the hottest time of the year, but it's still hot. Chen Afu is reluctant to let people hold the child, so that the child is too hot and prone to prickly heat.

As soon as she put Xiao Yu'er in the stroller and sat down, the little brothers ran over, holding their sister's small car one by one, for fear that others would steal her sister.

The little brothers love their sister so much, or Chen Afu teaches them well. She has always felt that no matter what era, boys must be responsible. Only with a sense of responsibility can they do things well and find ways to protect their families and children. Cultivating their sense of responsibility starts with Xiao Yu'er.

Therefore, as soon as Yu'er was born, Chen Afu taught them to love and protect their sister, and to have the idea and consciousness that they have difficulties and benefit their sister first.

Now, when the little brothers saw that so many people had come to see their sister, they were so frightened that they were afraid that these people would steal their beautiful sister. In fact, people not only looked at Xiao Yu'er, but also looked at them, even this beautiful little stroller, but they felt that all eyes were on their sister. Moreover, the gaze was full of the bare word "robbery".

Seeing that someone was approaching and teasing a few of them, he stopped doing it, and said in a loud voice, "Sister, ours." ”

When they roared, the people who watched the excitement were even more happy.

These three children are so delightful. The little girl in the car was wearing a small magenta carved silk embroidered dress, a small blue carved silk skirt, and a little swallow doll was sewn on the small skirt. She had two small tuddles on her head, and she was staring around with big bright eyes. When she saw someone talking to her, she would scream "ahhh

And the two little boys not only look very similar, but also dress exactly the same, and they also have the same tile heads. They weren't that friendly, and as soon as someone stepped forward, they yelled at them for fear of snatching their sister away.

Chen Afu blushed, and secretly said that he would have to bring these two little things out to see each other in the future. Chen Afu had also participated in several banquets before, but he only brought the little girl Chu, not the three little ones.

She whispered, "Baby, they're not here to rob my sister, they're here to say hello to my sister when they see her cuteness." If you are like this, my sister will have no friends in the future. ”

When the little brothers heard this, they eased their expressions and said to the people around them, "Look at my sister, we like it." Snatch sister, we don't like it. ”

Someone laughed, "Ouch, what a pleasing child." Not only did I want to snatch my sister home, but I also wanted to snatch my two older brothers back together. ”

Seeing the guarded eyes of the little brothers, someone hurriedly laughed and said, "We don't rob, we're talking about playing." ”

Everyone walked all the way and said all the way, and entered Hanlian Xuan.

In the hall, King An and several high-ranking women were sitting there laughing, including Princess Rongzhao.

Out of politeness, King An's Mansion also sent a post to Princess Rongzhao's Mansion, thinking that Rongzhao, who had not been out of the mansion for a long time, would definitely not come. Unexpectedly, Rong Zhao, who was in good health, actually came.

Because Rong Zhao was close to the second prince before, and used that method to force the Chu family's wife to separate, Prince An and Princess An were unwilling to have much contact with her. But when she came, Princess An had to be warmly entertained on the surface.

Princess An saw that the third lady and Chen Afu were leading the children here, and beckoned and smiled, "Huachang is also here, come and sit here." With you, it's not going to be cold. ”

The third lady laughed loudly, "When will the lotus banquet hosted by the imperial aunt be cold, tell a joke." ”

Among these people are princesses, princesses, princesses, princesses, and two old feudal lords.

Chen Afu led the children and Chu Lin and Chu Bi to salute and greet them. When she came to Rong Zhao, Chu Hanyan's face turned pale with fright, and she held Chen Afu's hand tightly and did not let go, and her body trembled a little. She whispered, "Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Chen Afu squeezed the little girl's hand and signaled her not to be afraid.

Chen Afu took the children to give Rong Zhao a blessing again, and the little brothers were in trouble.

Rong Zhao's attention today is not on Chu Hanyan, but on the other children. Compared with the other three children, Chu Hanyan must hate the other three children more.

No matter what, Chu Hanyan still has the blood of the Ma family. And the other children only have a relationship with that slut.

Her eyes swept over the children, and the hatred in her heart was extremely strong, but she still forced it down. Giggled, "These children are the grandsons and granddaughters of the palace, and they should kowtow to their grandmother for the first time." Then he said to Chen Afu, "Daughter-in-law Lingxuan, how do you teach your children as a mother, and you don't even understand this etiquette?"
