The next morning, Chen Afu hugged the tearful Dabao, kissed him a few times, and handed him to Xue Dagui, who carried him to Tangyuan with Alu.
Chen Afu took Aunt Zeng and Xia Yue and her daughter onto the carriage. Tang Yuan also sent four guards to protect them, including Guard Wang who had accompanied her twice before.
They waved goodbye to Wang and Chen Ming who came to see them off, as well as Zhuifeng, Sasa, Qiqi, Huihui, and Wangcai in the distance, and drove off in a carriage to Dingzhou Prefecture.
She saw that Sasa had tears in her eyes. This was the first time she had left her mistress since she came to Fuyuan.
The animal house will also move to Luyuan with Chen Dabao. Chen Afu has already done ideological work on Zhuifeng. He told him that although he married a good wife, the friendship between brothers still needs to be maintained. He is the winner, so he should take the initiative to build a good relationship with Wangcai with the broad mind of the winner. At worst, he can help Wangcai find a good wife later...
It was much faster to take a horse carriage, and we arrived at the city gate of Dingzhou before noon.
At the door, Jiang Er, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, was waiting for Chen Afu. Chu Lingxuan had already told Chen Shiying that Chen Afu would arrive at Dingzhou Mansion at noon today, so Chen Shiying specially sent someone to wait here.
When Butler Jiang Er saw the carriage of the Chu Mansion, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This servant greets the young lady. The master and the mistress asked this servant to wait for the young lady here."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Jiang."
In Dingzhou Prefecture, Chen Afu would live in Chen Shiying's house. In fact, she preferred to live in Chen Shi's house, where she had more freedom, less requirements, and could get along well with Zhang and Chen Aman.
But if she went to Dingzhou Prefecture but didn't live in Chen's house, Chen Shiying would definitely not be happy, and it was not in accordance with the rules. Moreover, when she went to the Chu's house for the birthday banquet, Jiang had to take her and the Chen girl with her.
After entering the city gate, they walked for more than two quarters of an hour to reach Chen's residence. When they arrived at the front yard, they handed over the newly harvested corn and some fruits and vegetables brought from the countryside to the second housekeeper Jiang, and then took the sedan chair to the inner courtyard.
Chen Ahfu returned to the Rose Courtyard, where Qingfeng and the two little girls were waiting. After helping Chen Ahfu wash up, the food was placed on the table.
Qing Feng smiled and said, "Madam said that the young lady was tired from the journey and asked her to have a good rest."
Chen Afu nodded. It was already late noon and they must have rested.
Qing Feng whispered again, "The second young lady came back from the nunnery ahead of schedule. Aunt Tang died of illness two months ago, and the eldest young lady was so sad that she fell ill, so the master sent someone to bring her back ahead of schedule."
Aunt Tang is dead? Chen Ahfu twitched his lips but said nothing.
Of the three masterminds of the incident, Aunt Tang died instead of the other two. Perhaps Chen Shiying felt that he had been given an explanation. Chen Yuhui was punished to stay in the nunnery for half a year, but because Chen Shiying felt guilty about her biological mother's death, she ended the punishment early. Fortunately, she asked Jin Yanzi to scare the old woman into hemiplegia, otherwise she would not even get the punishment.
After eating, Chen Afu went to bed to rest. After the bumpy journey, he soon fell asleep.
She was sleeping soundly, Xia Yue woke her up, "Miss, it's time to pay respects to the Madam."
Chen Afu got up quickly and went to the main courtyard with two sets of clothes for Jiang and Chen Shiying. These two sets of clothes were designed and cut by Chen Afu, and mainly sewn by Xia Yue and Qiu Yue.
After Chen Ahfu bowed, Jiang smiled and waved her to sit next to her. She held her hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. I miss Fu'er so much..."
Jiang's voice was gentle and reassuring.
Chen Afu also noticed that in addition to the maids and old women, there was also Aunt Lu and a beautiful woman of about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The reason why Chen Ahfu paid special attention to her was because she was dressed very gorgeously and had a woman's hairstyle. She was definitely not a maid, nor did she look like a servant's wife. Just when he was wondering, he heard someone calling her Aunt He.
Chen Ahfu was confused for a moment. Chen Shiying's father was too, too, too much. Looking at Jiang, she looked at Aunt He calmly, without any other emotions.
Her handsome, young and talented man took such a concubine, but she was not jealous or uneasy at all.
Then think about her attitude towards me. I am the daughter of the woman her man loves most, and she can be so good to me.
Jiang's stomach is as big as Maitreya Buddha's. There really are such women in the world!
There are two situations when loving someone to the extreme: one is complete possessiveness, and the other is complete loss of self.
Jiang may belong to the latter category.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, just treat that man as your boss...
Chen Ahfu suppressed his emotion and talked to Jiang, then he heard the voice of the maid outside the door, "The second, third and fourth girls are here."
The three girls bowed to Jiang and took their seats.
Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia smiled and said goodbye to Chen Afu. But Chen Yuhui looked much thinner, wearing a willow green jacket, a white skirt embroidered with bamboo leaves, and only a jade hairpin on her head. She looked at Chen Afu with hatred, and did not greet her.
Chen Ahfu would not take the initiative to talk to her. If she originally disliked Chen Yuhui, she hated her after that incident, and she wished that such a vicious girl would die and be reincarnated soon.
Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia heard Chen Afu say that a big dog had come to her house again, how beautiful and powerful it was, how it came to her house and brought ginseng as a gift, how it cried when she came to Dingzhou Prefecture, etc. The two girls were very envious and wanted to go to Fuyuan to play again.
Chen Yuqing went over and pulled Chen Afu's sleeve, saying she wanted to follow her to see the big dog...
"Big sister, I also want to go to the countryside to play." Chen Yuxia looked at Chen Afu expectantly.
Before Chen Ahfu could say anything, Chen Yuhui sneered and said with a handkerchief on the corner of his mouth, "Fourth sister also said that it is the countryside. The countryside is dirty and messy, and the country people are unsophisticated and uneducated. Birds of a feather flock together. If fourth sister has been with country people for a long time, aren't you afraid that they will become unsophisticated and uneducated?"
Chen Ahfu was not going to be polite with this bad girl. He sneered, "Miss Chen Er was right. A red bird becomes redder if it is close to a red bird. A black bird becomes blacker if it is close to a black bird. You have been led astray by Aunt Tang and... and your heart has become completely black. You look down on the countryside so much, why do you still eat grain? Don't you know that grain is grown with manure? Humph, in my opinion, the manure in our countryside is cleaner than yours. You are well-educated. Would an educated person be so impatient to snatch someone else's fiancé?"
Chen Yuhui was choked by these words and burst into tears. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Jiang with grievance, "Mother."
Jiang ignored Chen Yuhui and smiled at Chen Afu, "You are the eldest sister. If your younger sister does something wrong, you should teach her a lesson. However, you should be careful about how you do it and don't say certain things casually."
Chen Ahfu quickly stood up and said with her eyes downcast, "Mother is right, your daughter will remember it."
