Chen Ahfu poked Jin Yanzi with his hand and said, "Baby, get up and have the New Year's Eve dinner. Mommy is here to accompany you."
The golden swallow put down its wings and sobbed, "Mommy, today is your most lively day, but it is my loneliest day. Now I know that spiritual enjoyment is far more important than material enjoyment. Even if I live in a golden house, I am not as good as a little dog in the village today."
How pretentious.
Chen Ahfu coaxed, "You won't be locked up for much longer. You'll be able to get out in less than two months. Come on, come on, see what delicious food Mommy brought you. Tasting delicious food is also a spiritual enjoyment."
The golden swallow got up and asked Chen Ahfu to wipe its tears with a handkerchief. It began to peck at the food in the bowl. It had just eaten two small pieces when it stopped. It glared at Chen Ahfu with its little green eyes and said, "Mommy, you're hiding something from me."
Chen Ahfu was stunned and asked, "Hidden secrets? What secrets are you hiding?"
Jin Yanzi looked back at the four "toilets" with disdain and said, "What good stuff did Mr. Chu give you? Not only did I hear your suppressed laughter, but I also heard the sound of fine porcelain colliding. Mommy, let me tell you, not only is my mouth good, my ears are equally good. Just by listening to the sound, I can tell the difference between K gold and pure gold, coarse porcelain and fine porcelain. Mr. Chu gave you a set of good tea sets, right? Why don't you bring it in to use as a toilet? I don't want more, one is enough."
Chen Ahfu sighed and smacked his lips, saying, "My dear, even if I give you one, I can't use the other five. I can't think of you going to the toilet every time I drink tea, it will make me feel uncomfortable. You just make do with it for now, I will ask someone to go to the city to buy a good tea bowl for you someday."
After hearing this, Jin Yanzi stopped eating and squatted aside, saying hesitantly, "Mommy said she loved me, but it turned out to be all lies. You can't even bear to give me a good toilet, what can I expect from you in the future?"
After saying this, he became sad again and his little body started to twitch.
Chen Afu gritted his teeth and left the space, took out the tea set from the box, and took it into the space.
When Jin Yanzi saw the set of tea bowls, she was so happy that her eyes were beaming with joy. After admiring them for a while, she said, "Mommy, I know you are a good mom and I am grateful for your kindness. Please move the manure and throw away those broken buckets. I dislike them." Then she went to eat.
Chen Ahfu had no choice but to accept her fate and "work hard" to change the manure. The little thing was very troublesome, and there was a little feces in each of the four toilets. She poured it all into a tea bowl, filling up most of the tea bowl.
Seeing the fertilizers, she smiled again. The economic and social value of this thing must far exceed that of the tea set.
Chen Ahfu stayed with Jin Yanzi for quite some time, and did not return to her room until late at night. She put away the tea bowls first, and then went to sleep on the kang.
In the morning, Chen Ahfu was awakened by a noise in the yard. It seemed that it was snowing heavily and the servants were sweeping the yard.
Chen Ahfu opened the curtains and saw that it was already bright outside the window. She quickly got up and woke up Dabao, "Dabao, get up. Today you and your uncle will represent our family to pay New Year's greetings."
Chen Dabao also remembered this glorious mission and his eyes opened wide.
Chen Ahfu bent down and kissed him again, then smiled and said, "Happy New Year, son."
Dabao also smiled and said, "Happy New Year, mother."
Zeng Xiaoqing, who was standing at the door with water, heard her master wake up and called out, "Miss, I am here to serve you."
Chen Afu went to open the door in his pajamas and asked Zeng Xiaoqing to help Dabao put on his clothes.
Chen Ahfu put on the new clothes that had been prepared long ago, a pink silk jacket and a bright red cotton long skirt. The jacket had a high collar and a perfect waist. It was decorated with a row of ice-blue large butterfly buttons, and the hem of the skirt was embroidered with a circle of lotus flowers. A silver hairpin and two beautiful flowers were inserted in her hair. After washing her face, she applied some perfume.
It was rare for her to wear such festive clothes, which made her look even more beautiful and rosy.
Zeng Xiaoqing, who had dressed Dabao, said, "The young lady looks really pretty when she's dressed up like this."
Dabao said arrogantly, "My mother is always so beautiful."
Zeng Xiaoqing chuckled and said, "I said the wrong thing. I mean, the eldest lady is already pretty. After dressing up like this, she is much prettier than those young ladies from wealthy families, and also prettier than the second young lady in the marquis's mansion. The second young lady Chu is a rare beauty in the capital." She added, "Why doesn't the eldest lady put on rouge and draw eyebrows? If the eldest lady put on makeup, my God, she would outshine everyone else."
Her exaggerated appearance made Chen Afu laugh.
Chen Ahfu said, "Why should I compare myself to everyone else?" Then he asked, "Which family is Miss Chu from?"
Zeng Xiaoqing said, "The second Miss Chu is the second master's legitimate daughter, and she is fourteen years old this year. I heard that the second lady is trying her best to select a son-in-law, and she wants to marry the second Miss to a good family."
Chen Ahfu recalled the ambiguous words between Wei and Aunt Zeng that day, and asked again, "It's quite complicated in the Marquis' Mansion in the capital, right?"
Zeng Xiaoqing was young and was now a servant of the Chen family. When he heard his master asking questions, he told them everything he knew. He said, "In fact, there were not many people in the Marquis' Mansion in the capital before. Apart from the old Marquis, there was the Second Master's family. The Second Master was in poor health and could not control the Second Madam... But now, everything is fine. The Third Master's family has returned, and the Second Madam can no longer stir up trouble."
Chen Ahfu was even more confused and wondered, "Doesn't the Marquis live in the Marquis' Mansion? He only has Lord Chu as his son?"
Zeng Xiaoqing said, "Of course the Marquis doesn't live in the Marquis' Mansion, he lives in the Princess' Mansion. The eldest master has a younger sister, she is married. Think about it, young lady, the Marquis is not in the Marquis' Mansion, and neither are the eldest master and his younger sister. In the Marquis' Mansion, except for the old Marquis, no one else is the real owner. They will be separated one day, and the Second Madam will take the opportunity to make more money. Fortunately, the outer courtyard is controlled by the old Marquis, and she can't get involved."
It turns out that the cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest.
Chen Ahfu thought of Miss Chu and asked, "Did Sister Yan live in the Marquis' Mansion before? That Second Madam Chu is so wicked. Not only did she take other people's money, she also tortured their children like that."
Zeng Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "No, my sister used to live in the princess's mansion. The princess said that she wanted her daughter-in-law to show filial piety to her. When my grandmother was alive, she also lived in the princess's mansion. After my sister was born, she lived there all the time. Later, when my master came back from the border, he opened a government office and built a mansion in Dingzhou, and then he took my sister out."
That princess was even worse, she stole someone else's husband and tortured someone else's child like this. No wonder Chu Lingxuan hid here, no matter how high his status was, he couldn't afford to offend the princess.
Fortunately, this place is far away from the capital, and the little girl slowly walked out of her own world...
