It was already the end of the hour of Hai when Dabao finished talking with Chen Afu. Instead of going to bed, he went to the study to do the homework assigned by his teacher.
Today's work should be done today. This is a good habit. Looking at his swollen eyes and his uncontrollable sobbing, Chen Ahfu felt heartbroken but did not stop him.
She bent down to stop Qiqi and Huihui who were about to go over to make trouble, and said angrily, "You annoying little things, have you not had enough after making trouble for so long?" Then, the family gave the two brains a blow.
The two little creatures came in when Dabao was crying. They stood on the table, watching the show, eating peanuts, and supporting Chen Dabao.
"Not separate, not separate, not separate, not separate."
"Sleep together, sleep together, sleep together, sleep together."
…
Chen Afu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Seeing that the two little guys were about to get angry again, Chen Afu said, "Stop making trouble. Tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the county town to customize a foot ring for your family."
The two little guys didn't know what a leg ring was, but they intuitively felt that it was a good thing. They were very happy to have won the benefit through their own efforts, and whistled as they went back to the house to rest.
Chen Ahfu sighed, "Dogs don't mind poverty, only dogs are the best friends of humans. Birds, cats, etc. are all pets, and they are pampered. And these smart "noblemen" are even more pampered to the sky."
It was already midnight when Dabao finished his homework and he was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping. Qiuyue helped him wash up, and Chen Afu sat by his bed, holding his little hand and watching him fall asleep.
Even when they were asleep, he still muttered, "Mom, don't leave me, forever..."
Seeing him like this, Chen Afu still felt a little sad.
Now, she finally understood why the relationship between the widowed mother and her only son was almost pathological, and they excluded everyone except themselves.
She was not a widow, but a woman and a son living together closely was somewhat like the relationship between an orphan and a widow.
Moreover, Dabao clearly knew that he was an adopted son. In his eyes, Chen Afu was not only his mother, but also the only support for his happy life.
He was afraid in his heart that he would lose her.
Chen Afu sighed, bent down and kissed his forehead, then stood up and lowered the veil.
She walked out of the east wing, saw the bright moon in the sky, and let out a long sigh. The difficult battle was finally over.
After she went back to her room to wash up, she slipped back into the space. Without Dabao in the way, it was easier for her to enter the space.
The golden swallow was building a house with its long tail up. Chen Ahfu looked around but didn't see the golden beet, so he asked, "Where's the golden beet? Why can't I see it?"
The golden swallow stopped what he was doing and said, "I put it in the golden house. I hope the green bird's nest can give it more spiritual energy." After that, he started to work again.
Chen Afu sat next to it and looked at it for a while. When he felt relaxed both physically and mentally, he went back to bed to sleep.
The next day, she got up early because she wanted Dabao to see her first when he opened his eyes.
Dabao had a good sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother sitting beside him and smiling at him. He got up as usual, hugged Chen Ahfu and kissed him, saying, "Morning, mother."
After saying that, he looked around again. The bed had been changed, the gauze curtains had been changed, and the whole room was different. Then he remembered that he had come to the east wing.
Chen Afu saw the loneliness in his eyes, pretended not to notice it, and put clothes on him.
Habits always take time to form.
After breakfast, Chen Afu sent him out of Fuyuan. Alu happened to walk here and took him to Tangyuan. Behind them, Chu Xiaoniu followed.
At this time, Wang Laowu came over with a bucket on his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Miss, I want to go to Fuyuan to fetch a bucket of water."
Chen Ahfu guessed that he must have heard the noise Chen Dabao was still making in the middle of the night. He nodded at him, meaning that he would pick it.
Six days later, when Dabao had gotten used to resting alone in the east wing, Tang Garden became lively again. Not only did the old Marquis Chu and his grandson return, but also Abbot Lechen, Chu Hua and his husband Xie Ling, his son Heng Ge'er, the fourth master Luo Yuanzhi, the fourth grandmother Luo and their daughter Luo Ying, plus the guards and servants, a total of more than 40 people moved into Tang Garden.
Only after listening to Aunt Zeng's introduction did Chen Afu understand these families completely.
Chu Hua's husband, Xie Ling, was the second son of the prince of Weiguo, and was a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Guard. Although his position was not high, his grandfather, Lord Xie, was a well-known figure in the Dashun Dynasty, and was currently serving as the first-rank governor of the Left Army Governor's Office.
At that time, the Chu family was in trouble and could not get such a good marriage. It was because a few years ago, Xie Ling went to the border on official business, and the third master Chu invited him to his home to play. He accidentally saw the beautiful Chu Hua and fell in love with her. After returning home, he insisted on marrying Chu Hua. Lord Xie had no choice but to ask someone to act as a matchmaker, and this good thing happened.
Luo Zhiyuan is the son of Master Luo. Because he failed to pass the imperial examination, he was given a small official position of the seventh rank. Although the position is small, it is at least a real vacancy. This time he brought his wife and children to attend Chu Hanyan's birthday and visit his aunt, the abbot Liaochen. Master Luo is Liaochen's biological brother and is now the governor of Jibei Province.
That's why Abbot Liaochen chose to become a nun in Honglin Mountain, not far from here. The highest local official here is her brother, and it's close to her dowry farm.
They arrived at Tang Garden before noon. In the afternoon, Chu Lingxuan sent someone to deliver a note, inviting Chen Ming's family and Chen Afu's mother and son to Tang Garden for dinner.
After all, the Luo family and Xie Ling were outsiders, so it was not appropriate to invite them to Fuyuan for dinner. So Chen Ming and Wang had to invite them to Luyuan for dinner in the name of Chen Ahfu's parents, and it had to be a vegetarian meal.
Chen Afu discussed the menu with Chen Ming and Wang, and asked Zeng Lao and Mu Aunt to go to the county town to buy ingredients. They also needed to buy more things to serve as a courtesy when the guests left.
In the evening, Chen Afu, Wang and Chen Ming went to Tang Garden together. Tang Garden was not big, so they all went to Hetang Courtyard where the old man usually lived.
When Chen Ahfu saw Xie Ling for the first time, he was shocked. He was a towering man, but his facial features were good. Although he looked rough, he was a gentleman, very patient with Chu Hua and Heng Ge'er, and he looked like a good husband.
The fourth master Luo Zhiyuan looked like a nobleman, handsome and tall. It was said that he was a very romantic man, with several concubines and maids. If it weren't for the powerful mistress of the fourth master Luo, he might have made things even more outrageous.
When Fourth Master Luo saw Chen Afu, he was stunned. He had heard that Chen Afu was good-looking, and he also knew that Chen Shiying's daughter couldn't be bad-looking. But when he actually met her, he felt that she was even prettier than he had imagined. No wonder the Seventh Prince chased her to the General's Mansion. He unconsciously looked at her a few more times, and when he heard Chu Lingxuan cough, he quickly turned his eyes away.
She glanced at her daughter-in-law out of the corner of her eye, and Grandma Luo's face grew a little gloomy.
