After hearing this, Chen Ahfu stood up, opened the closet, took out a stick of green agarwood and said, "Give this stick of incense to my uncle, I hope he can help me."

Then he took out a brocade box, which contained the "dowry" that Sasa had brought back - ginseng, and said, "The doctor said that this ginseng is a thousand-year-old ginseng, but he is not sure how many thousand years it has been. Give it to Third Uncle, and ask Third Uncle to use it to make connections and give gifts."

Chu Lingxuan took the green leaf agarwood and said, "You still have a few of these incense sticks, so I'll give them to my uncle. The ginseng is rare, so you keep it. We'll find some other good gifts to ask Third Uncle and Prince Rui for help."

Chen Ahfu shook his head and said, "No matter how good the thing is, it's not important to anyone. If it can help my father, it's worth it."

Chu Lingxuan took it and said, "Alright. If father-in-law Jiangnan has not committed any crime, this ginseng will be kept. If father-in-law Jiangnan has committed any crime, then let Uncle Luo take it out and give it to Third Uncle."

Send someone to inform Steward Luo to wait for the master in the outer courtyard at the beginning of the Mao hour tomorrow and to make preparations to live in the capital for a long time. Send someone to inform Nanny Hua to prepare breakfast at the end of the Yin hour tomorrow.

Afterwards, the two prepared some gifts and silver bills. It was not until the second half of the night that Chen Afu fed the two boys and then rested.

The next day, before dawn, the two got up. Chu Lingxuan ate a big bowl of noodles, then went to the outer courtyard to call Luo Guanshi. After they discussed for a while, they each took the letter and the gift and left.

After sending Chu Lingxuan out of the main courtyard, Chen Ahfu returned to the bedroom and saw that the two boys had woken up and were hugging each other and biting each other.

This was truly a surprising improvement, but Chen Afu couldn't laugh at all at this moment.

She walked over, leaned over and whispered, "Baby."

The two children actually stopped biting each other, turned around and looked at Chen Afu, screaming "ah, ah" with smiles on their lips.

She kissed each of them, fed them, and took care of Xiaoxiao. The two children fell asleep while playing.

Chen Afu waited for Dabao and Chu Lingzhi to come over to finish their breakfast, and then sent them out of the yard.

Dabao knew that his mother was going to his grandfather's house to attend the third day of the lunar new year celebration today, and he said with regret, "Every time my mother goes to my grandfather's house, my son is either busy or in school."

Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Grandpa's house is not fun at all. Next time you have a day off, write a note to invite Uncle Lan, Uncle Cousin, and Brother Mu to come to our house to play."

When Miss Chu came over, Chen Afu took her, the two children and the gifts to the Chen family.

When we arrived at Chen's house, Chen Yulan was waiting at the door to greet guests.

Chen Yulan smiled at Miss Chu first, then glanced at her still sleeping nephew and asked, "Sister, where is my brother-in-law? He's not coming today?"

Chen Ahfu said, "He had something urgent to do and went out early this morning."

Chen Yulan was extremely disappointed. She curled her lips and said, "Dad hasn't come back yet, and I'm the only one accompanying General He." Then she lowered her voice and said, "I don't like him. I always feel that he is a little weird and not as frank as my brother-in-law."

The He family was beholden to Chen Yuhui, and later willingly accepted him, largely because Chen Shiying had a smooth career. If they knew that Chen Shiying might be in trouble, I wonder if they would continue with the marriage.

Thinking of the innocent people in this family, Chen Afu's heart ached again.

She touched Chen Yulan's hair and said, "Dad is not at home, and Chao Ge'er is so young. You are the only man in the family. You have to help your mother share the worries and take care of the family."

Chen Yulan listened, straightened her chest and said, "Yes, I know. I am the eldest son in the family. I will respect my grandmother, help my mother with her worries, and take care of my sisters and brothers."

Chen Ahfu snorted inwardly. What was that damn old woman doing to be filial? She had harmed so many people.

They were taken directly to the main courtyard of the Chen family. The He family had not arrived yet, and only Jiang and a few girls were sitting there chatting and laughing. A wet nurse was sitting next to Jiang holding a baby, and Jiang looked at the baby with eyes full of love.

Jiang was even happier to see them coming. She hugged Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er first and said with a smile, "Oh, grandma's grandchildren have grown up again, so handsome. In the future, you must work hard and become a scholar like your grandfather."

Every time Jiang talked about Chen Shiying becoming the third place in the imperial examination, he was extremely proud.

Chu Hanyan said quickly, "Two younger brothers, one is a scholar like grandpa, and the other is a general like dad."

This made everyone laugh again.

Of course, Chen Yuhui was the exception. She curled her lips and didn't take it seriously. Chen Ahfu's belly had gone down. Although her figure was plumper than when she was a girl, it was very well-proportioned. The two children were also white and plump. Even if she wanted to lie with her eyes closed, she couldn't seem to find any faults with Chen Ahfu and the children.

Chen Afu held Chao Ge'er in her arms. He was bigger than Yu Ge'er when he was born, weighing six and a half pounds. He looked like Chen Shiying, a very beautiful child. Looking at this newborn baby, Chen Afu felt soft. Before, because she didn't like "bastards", she thought these children were the children of mistresses. But when she saw it with her own eyes, she loved it from the bottom of her heart, after all, the child was innocent.

As soon as the child entered Chen Afu's arms, his eyes opened and he opened his mouth, looking for the bottle anxiously.

This made everyone laugh again.

I am his sister, it is not good to feed him milk. Besides, if he drinks my milk, it will be bad if he refuses to drink the milk of the wet nurse like Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er. Chen Ahfu lowered his head and kissed him, then gave him back to the wet nurse.

When Chao'er left the fragrant smell, he burst into tears. The wet nurse got up and went to the side room to feed him.

Jiang asked again, "Did you bring the baby carriage I asked for?"

Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "I brought it."

The servants brought the baby carriage and gifts in. Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia were very interested in the baby carriage, so Chu Hanyan explained it to them.

This family, apart from the old woman and Chen Yuhui, was really simple and harmonious, much more peaceful than many official families. Unfortunately, it was muddied by rat shit.

At this time, the servant came to report that Mrs. He and Miss He had arrived.

Jiang stood up and went out.

Mrs. He was smiling all the time and probably didn't know that something might have happened to Chen Shiying.

Everyone exchanged a few polite words and sat down. Mrs. He even called Chen Yuhui over and praised him, which made Chen Yuhui blush.

Soon, Chen Yulan brought He Linsheng in to pay their respects to Jiang.

This was the first time Chen Afu saw He Linsheng.

He Linsheng has delicate features, fair complexion, thin body, and tall and graceful figure. He wears a lake blue jacquard brocade long gown with arrow sleeves, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade head on his head. He doesn't look like a military commander, but more like a handsome scholar. He is indeed a handsome man.

However, his eyes made people feel uncomfortable, especially when he came in and glanced around the room without any hesitation. His eyes stayed on Chen Afu the longest, and he looked a little surprised.

Chen Afu was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly.

Jiang coughed lightly, and He Linsheng's eyelids drooped.

He bowed deeply to Jiang, who smiled and said a few words to him before Chen Yulan took him to the front yard.
