The next morning, just after Chen Ahfu finished his breakfast, he heard Qingfeng, who had gone out for a walk, whisper that the old lady was not well. A doctor was called in to give her acupuncture the previous night. The old lady woke up, but her eyes and mouth were crooked, she could not move much, her speech was unclear, and she kept saying she saw ghosts. The doctor said the old lady was frightened and had a stroke.

Qing Feng added, "I heard that the young master and the third and fourth young ladies have all gone to Hengshouyuan to take care of the sick..." The implication is that it would be best if Chen Afu could go as well.

Chen Ahfu was secretly happy, Jin Yan was so powerful. But he said, "The old lady definitely doesn't want to see me, so I'll just follow her wishes and not get close to her."

Chen Shiying and Jiang watched the old lady fall asleep before they returned to the main courtyard exhausted. Chen Shiying changed his clothes and went to the ancestral hall to record Chen Afu's name in the family tree.

He was still a little frustrated, and he hinted to Chen Afu several times whether he could change the name of Chen Afu to Chen Yufu, but she didn't agree. If it was other children, he wouldn't need to discuss it, he would just change it directly. But for this older girl, he would always discuss it with good temper, not only because he felt sorry for her not growing up by his side, but also because this girl was too opinionated and had a strong personality.

Jiang quickly made preparations to welcome today's distinguished guests.

Chen Ahfu was in a daze in the room when Hongfeng came in with a tray. The tray contained not only clothes from head to toe, but also a set of gold and pearl-inlaid headgear.

She smiled and said, "Madam asked the eldest lady to dress up well. Today, the women of the Chu Mansion will definitely ask to meet the girls in the mansion."

Chen Ahfu was helped to bathe and change clothes. This time, he wore a Yang Fei-colored embroidered short jacket and a crabapple-red flowered jacket and skirt, which were elegant and festive.

Hong Feng suggested again, "Miss, you are going to meet an honored guest today, so you should put on some makeup."

Chen Ahfu nodded. The makeup she put on herself was more elegant than that of this era.

After she was dressed up, several servants couldn't contain their amazement.

Around noon, someone came to the main courtyard and said that a distinguished guest wanted to meet the girls. Chen Ahfu led the maids to the main courtyard. On the way, they met the third girl Chen Yuqing and the fourth girl Chen Yuxia. These two girls also dressed up.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, before I entered the house, I heard a woman's hearty and unrestrained laughter coming from the house.

After entering the door and passing the twelve screens of wealth and good fortune, Jiang and a woman were sitting on the Luohan bed. The woman was in her twenties, tall and slender, with willow-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, delicate makeup, and a bright and beautiful face. She was wearing a red brocade jacket with hundreds of gold butterflies and flowers, a lilac-colored horse-faced skirt with scattered flowers, and her hair was full of pearls and jade, and her face was full of smiles.

There was a little boy of six or seven years old sitting next to him.

Jiang waved and smiled, "Girls, this is Mrs. Chu San from Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, Princess Changhua."

No wonder people always say this lady is so powerful, it turns out she is a princess.

Chen Ahfu and the others walked forward with a smile, bent their knees and bowed, saying, "Meet Madam Chu San."

Jiang smiled and introduced the three girls to Mrs. Chu San in turn. "This is the eldest girl, Fu'er, this is the third girl, Qing'er, and the youngest is Xia'er. There is also the second girl, Hui'er, but she suddenly had a fever yesterday, so we didn't dare to let her out."

Mrs. Chu San smiled and said, "Oh my, Mrs. Chen is so lucky to have so many daughters, and each one is so beautiful. I can't wait to have them all." She waved her hand and said, "Come here quickly, so that I can kiss you." Her voice was clear and bright, without suppressing the volume. It gave people the feeling that there was harmony in the atmosphere, which was very imposing and made people feel close to her.

When the girls came to her, she held Chen Afu in one hand and Chen Yuqing in the other, and said with a smile, "Girls are better, soft and delicate. It's a pity that I'm not lucky enough to have a daughter. The quarrels between the two boys give me a headache."

The little boy next to him pouted and said resentfully, "Every time my mother praises other girls, she scolds me and my brother. Are girls so good?"

His words made everyone in the room laugh.

Mrs. Chu laughed and scolded, "You and your brother are being naughty, and you don't need your mother to talk to you and vent your anger."

Although she was pulling one person in each hand, she obviously looked more at Chen Afu, and she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

The little boy spoke again, "Mom, every time you see a pretty girl, she'll hold her hand like this and won't let go. Be careful not to scare her."

His words made everyone laugh again.

Mrs. Chu pretended to glare at him, took off a golden phoenix hairpin with pearls and motioned Chen Ahfu to half-kneel down, and put it on her hair, saying, "Good girl, when I saw you, I felt that we women got along well."

Chen Afu thanked her with a red face.

Mrs. Chu San took off a white jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Chen Yuqing, and then took off a coral bead necklace from her wrist and gave it to Chen Yuxia.

The two girls knelt down again to express their gratitude.

Jiang's smile became even more intense, and she pointed at the little boy and said, "This is the fifth master of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion."

Master Chu Wu was young, so Chen Afu and the others nodded and smiled at him, calling him, "Master Chu Wu."

The Fifth Master Chu, Chu Lingzhi, had red lips and white teeth, and looked more like the Third Master Chu. He wore a red silk gown embroidered with round flowers and had his hair done in a cannon-shaped style.

Seeing that he was introduced solemnly, he stood up and bowed to them, saying, "Hello, three sisters." He stood up and said to Chen Ahfu in an experienced manner, "You are the master of my niece Yan'er, right? Thank you, you taught her very well, I am very satisfied."

This little kid is so cute.

Chen Ahfu liked cute children. She said seriously, "I don't deserve the praise from Master Chu Wu, Sister Yan is very cute."

Master Chu Wu was obviously very satisfied with Chen Ahfu's answer, and said, "Don't be polite, you deserve my praise."

Everyone laughed again.

After Chen Ahfu and the others sat down according to their age, Mrs. Chu San started chatting and laughing with Jiang again. Of course, she would not ignore the girls, and Chen Ahfu asked the most questions.

Apart from answering Mrs. Chu San's questions, Chen Afu didn't say much. He just needed to be graceful and dignified in his behavior.

Afterwards, everyone had dinner here before the girls were sent back.

On the way, Chen Yuqing whispered to Chen Afu, "I didn't expect that this Mrs. Chu is even more impressive and straightforward than the legend says..."

It turns out that Master Chu San and Madam Chu San have a love story that shocks the world and makes ghosts cry.

Madam Chu San was the granddaughter of the empress dowager and the niece of the emperor. However, when she was two years old, her father and mother died one after another, and she was taken to the Cining Palace by the empress dowager to be raised personally.

Because his father was stabbed to death by the Rebel King for saving the Emperor, he particularly admired heroes with good martial arts. When he grew up, he rejected many promising young men favored by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but fell in love with Master Chu San who was returning to Beijing from the border. Not only did he ask the Queen Mother to grant him marriage, he also followed Master Chu San to the border...

After hearing the story of Mrs. Chu San, Chen Afu, a modern orphan, was envious. Although her parents died long ago, she still had a strong support. She married the man she loved, followed this man to the border, rode a horse and whipped the horse, and lived the life she wanted. No wonder she has such a strong aura and is full of happiness.
