The third lady pursed her lips and smiled, "No wonder it's so good, I'll send her another jar of wine to her old man, and I hope she can live a long life." He added, "Xuan'er told me before, let me find a better grandmother to be Sister Yan'er's mother." I happen to have one here, and it's Mama Huang. She has been serving me in the palace for a long time, but she is a little older, and she is forty-three years old this year. If it doesn't work, I'll go into the palace and ask the imperial grandmother for a younger one. ”

To find a nurturing grandmother for Chu Hanyan, it was Chen Afu who proposed it to Chu Lingxuan. The little girl is already six years old, and she is too kind and innocent, even if she tries hard to teach, she will not grow up to be very shrewd. In addition, I don't know much about the twists and turns of the inner house, so I can't teach her this.

Girls living in the door of the mansion can be illiterate, but they can't be ignorant of the way to survive in the house. Especially for a good girl like her, she must be taught and served by a shrewd, faithful, and well-versed mother in the way of the inner house.

Mama Huang was standing beside Mrs. Chu at this time, bowing her head and frowning, as if she hadn't heard her master's words. She is one of the two most powerful grandmothers of the third lady, and if she were her, she would really be a good candidate. Although he is older, he can still work for at least ten years. The first ten years are the most important growth period for the little girl, let Mama Huang talk more about the twists and turns in the inner house. After marrying into her mother-in-law's family, she will serve the little girl for a few years, clean up the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods around her husband, and then train her successor, and then you can retire with honor.

Chen Afu glanced at Mama Huang, put her arm around the third lady and said with a smile, "Mama Huang is the proud son of the third aunt, capable, neat, is the third aunt willing?"

The third lady smiled, "Mama Huang has served me for more than 20 years, she is loyal, and she is easy to use, I am really a little reluctant to her." However, Sister Yan has suffered a lot in the past and is kind-hearted, I pity her from the bottom of my heart and want her to have a better life in the future. ”

He said to Mama Huang again, "The eldest sister is young and kind-hearted, if you teach her well, she will provide for you and have a blessed day for you." ”

Mama Huang hurriedly came over and kowtowed to Mrs. Chu San and said, "Xie County Lord's compassion, the old slave should serve the eldest sister well." ”

After getting up, he gave Chen Afu a blessing on his knees and said, "Grandma Xie." ”

Mama Huang used to be a female official in the palace, and she had a grade on her body, so she didn't need to kowtow to Chen Afu.

Chen Afu smiled and said a few words to her, and Xia Yue handed over another purse.

With a lot of effort, Chu Hua led Brother Heng here again.

She saw a pair of pairs, and she couldn't like it. smiled, "Ouch, I want to see them more and give birth to such a beautiful little brother." ”

Brother Heng said disapprovingly, "Male silver, you look like a gentleman." ”

Because Brother Heng looks like his father, he is relatively dark and strong, and Chu Hua, who is quick to talk, has not said that he is not handsome. His father Xie Ling would say this sentence to block his wife's mouth, and after a long time, even the little Brother Heng learned it.

The third lady laughed, "Little bean Dingzi, I can't say it clearly, but I also pay tribute." ”

Chen Afu and Chu Hua had dinner and dinner here. Several people felt sorry for Chen Shiying for a while, and the third lady had been optimistic about Chen Yuqing before, but because of this incident, she had to let it go.

For dinner, the third master Chu did not go back to An Rongtang to eat, but drank with the old man and the second master and several other men in the family in the outer courtyard.

Originally, the reception banquet should have been placed in Anrong Hall, and the whole family, men, women, and children ate together. But because the second lady made a fuss at the farewell banquet at the beginning of the year, the old man was unhappy, so he didn't let the family get together to eat. In this way, it is also as Chen Afu and the third lady wanted, they don't want to see the second lady.

From the next day, Chen Afu claimed to the public that he was sick and locked up in the courtyard and did not go out, and the third lady missed her and the children, and came to Zhuxuan to visit them. Rong Zhao is Chen Afu's pseudo-mother-in-law, and the pseudo-grandmother of the two brothers, and their mother and son must go to see her and the Marquis of Chu during the etiquette of entering Beijing.

With his toes, he can think of how envious and jealous Rong Zhao is now that he hates the mother and son, and he doesn't know how to toss them when he goes to the princess's mansion. Chen Afu is not too afraid, but the two children can't go out in case, so they can only pretend to be sick. Let people send gifts to the princess's mansion.

It is claimed to the outside that the main thing is to prevent the second wife Li to tell the truth, and in Zhuxuan's upper room, Chen Afu's mother and son are still how to behave.

During this period, Chu's second grandmother Song, Chu's third grandmother Shen, and Chu Zhen came to Zhuxuan to visit Chen Afu.

Hearing the little girl's loud voice, the little brothers who were playing on Chen Afu's big bed were quickly carried by their respective mothers to the big kang on the east side of the house.

Mama Li didn't invite these people into the bedroom, but only let them sit at the door of the east side of the house, on the grounds that the second grandmother's son was still young, and the third grandmother was the new daughter-in-law.

Chen Afu leaned on the head of the bed and said a few words to them weakly.

Shen is more extroverted, can speak, the first impression is okay, I don't know what the real character is. She also rarely liked Brother Yu and Brother Ming, teased her for a while, and then smiled, "They all say that they are tricky and only eat sister-in-law's milk." Now that my sister-in-law is sick, how can I feed them? Poor thing, don't go hungry. “

Mama Li sighed, "The two brothers are not hungry, but they pity our grandmother." Every day, the milk must be milked, and the minions will be hot, and then they will be fed to the brothers. “

On the morning of the 20th, Master Chu San and Mrs. Chu San came to Zhuxuan in person.

When they came, Chen Afu couldn't pretend to be sick and received them in the hall.

The third master of Chu reassured Chen Afu that Chen Shiying's current condition was fine, and the third master of the east and west could let someone help transfer it to him. But Chen Afu and his female relatives are not good to go to see him alone, and Chen Afu is also pretending to be sick, and after Chu Lingxuan comes back, they will go together.

Chen Afu took out a few large packages and a purse. The package contained things sent by the Jiang family, as well as cotton robes, food and wine sent by Chen Afu. But there can be no faith, and all those who guard these things must check them. The silver ticket containing two hundred taels of silver in the purse was given to the Imperial Forest Army guarding Chen Shiying.

At the end of the day, Chen Aman and Ayu came to Zhuxuan again, and brought Yang Chao and Yang Qian.

The two children have grown taller, and they get along well with Aman, and their mother's name is crisp and sweet. They heard that Dabao and Chu Hanyan didn't come, and they regretted that they couldn't do it. However, when Yang Chao saw the sassy mother and son, and Yang Qian saw the little brothers, they regretted that they were all gone.

Looking at Chen Aman's sweet smiling face, life should be good.

Chen Afu left them for dinner and promised to go to Yang's house another day.

At night, a strong wind blew, and the whistling sound and the screams of the mother and son woke Chen Afu up. Her heart, which had been restless, became even more restless, and she counted hundreds of sheep in a daze before falling asleep.
