A maid behind Chen Afu made some moves, causing most of the vegetables in the maid's hand to spill on Chu Zhen, and a few drops of oil also spilled on Chen Afu. Lord Chu took advantage of the situation and asked Chu Lingxuan to take Chen Afu away.
After they left, Chu Zhen was led into another small room to change clothes. The two fools, Li and Chu Zhen, didn't know how to follow Mrs. Chu's suggestion and say that it was the servants of the Princess's Mansion who wanted to harm the Chu family. Instead, they cried and scolded Chen Ahfu for being the source of trouble and letting Chu Zhen bear the blame for her...
Mrs. Chu San was so angry when she heard this that she wanted to slap those two people in the face.
Madam Chu San continued, "It's a good thing that you were allowed to leave. Rong Zhao actually prepared a maid for Xuan'er. It would be hard for Xuan'er's wife to refuse to take her back. Even if Xuan'er didn't want to keep her, it would still be disgusting. Later, she asked me to help bring her back, saying that she, as a mother-in-law, was considerate of her daughter-in-law and sent her as an assistant. I didn't bring her and I just pushed her back."
If he really brought a woman back, it would be really disgusting.
Chen Afu pulled Mrs. Chu's sleeve and said gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt San. You have been helping me all the time. If it weren't for Aunt San, I don't know how much more I would have suffered today."
Madam Chu San laughed and said, "Rong Zhao was spoiled by my uncle and Concubine Ma. She is also very bold and dares to do and say anything, otherwise she would not do such shameless things. She is a ruffian and a poor woman. The other princesses are afraid of her, and only Aunt San dares to go against her. Because Aunt San was also spoiled by my grandmother and is also a ruffian and a poor woman. Rong Zhao and I have been fighting since we were young." After saying that, she laughed to herself.
In ancient times, women would usually cover their mouths with handkerchiefs when they laughed like this. But Mrs. Chu San didn't care and showed all 16 teeth.
In ancient times, perhaps only ladies born into a royal family would dare to laugh so unscrupulously.
Overbearing but not evil, Chen Afu liked the character of Mrs. Chu San. She immediately flattered her, "Aunt San is different from Princess Rong Zhao. Aunt San is generous and a female man..."
Chu Lingxuan stopped him disapprovingly, "Afu."
Mrs. Chu laughed even louder and said, "Tomboy, that's a good word. It sounds better than scoundrel and pauper, and it's also very descriptive. Auntie San is a tomboy." She patted her chest and said, "When Guangkai comes back, I will tell him about it and make him happy too."
Old Master Chu was not so happy. Those two fools of Li's were a little confused at home, but they were so confused outside. He said, "If the third son's wife had been in the mansion all along, I would have handed Zhen'er over to you to discipline her, and she wouldn't have been like this. Now, alas, poor second son, he is not in good health, and he married such an unreliable daughter-in-law, who also taught his daughter badly."
Although Mrs. Chu San was a noble lady, she was extremely respectful and filial to her husband's family. Seeing that Mr. Chu was sad, she immediately said, "Father, don't worry. From now on, let Zhen come to my place for an hour every day. I will take some time to teach her and send a nanny to teach her the rules and adjust her temper."
After hearing this, Mr. Chu nodded and said, "Then I am relieved. I will go to the countryside in a few days. The third daughter-in-law should not only take good care of this mansion, but also teach Zhen'er well."
Mrs. Chu nodded in agreement.
Chen Afu admired Mrs. Chu San from the bottom of her heart. She was the Queen Mother's favorite granddaughter, the Emperor's most guilty niece, and a real noble lady. But because she loved Chu Guangkai, she really treated Chu Guangkai's favorite family members as her own favorite family members.
She was different from Jiang. Jiang showed kindness to her because she wanted to please Chen Shiying and because she felt that she had value that could be used.
But Mrs. Chu San was very kind to her purely because she liked her husband's family. Of course, except for Li's mother and daughter, they did something to hurt her husband's family, so she certainly didn't like them.
It is even more different with Rong Zhao. Rong Zhao is extremely selfish and takes extreme measures to "occupy" Lord Chu. Not only does he treat Lord Chu as his personal property, he also does not recognize Lord Chu's family. He hopes that Lord Chu will completely break off with his family and belong to her completely.
Such a person, not to mention destroying Lord Chu's family, even if Lord Chu didn't have a wife, he wouldn't really like her...
After a few words, Mr. Chu and Chu Lingxuan went to the front yard. Chen Afu returned to Zhuxuan and led people to make snacks. She wanted to make some egg tarts to honor Mrs. Chu San.
A few days ago, a friend of Chu Guangkai sent some mangoes to the Chu Mansion, but no one in the Chu family liked to eat them because they thought the taste was weird.
Chen Ahfu liked to eat mangoes in her previous life, and after traveling here, it was the first time she ate this kind of fruit, and she liked it very much. After Chu Lingxuan knew that she liked to eat it, she took all the mangoes from the courtyards. Today she wanted to make mango egg tarts and add some ingredients. These people will definitely like it. However, there is no oven here, so she has to steam it in a pot, which requires some skills.
Boil sugar and milk to make sweet milk. Beat the eggs on the flour and add sweet milk. Stir until it becomes creamy. Cut the mango into small pieces and set aside. Apply oil to the mold and pour the creamy flour into it. Pour half of it first, put a piece of mango, and then pour the other half. Put it in the pot and steam it for ten minutes.
She steamed a few pots, and it was time for dinner. She sent people to each courtyard to deliver four pieces to each elder, two pieces to each other master, and a few respectable servants also sent two pieces each.
Each of Zhuxuan's servants ate one piece.
Chu Lingxuan had more convenience and ate more, a total of eight pieces.
He smiled and said, "I am so lucky to have married a good wife who not only taught my daughter well, but is also a good cook. Let's work hard and try to have a son by the end of the year. Then our life will be perfect."
Chen Ahfu was excited when he heard about the child, without any sense of shame as a bride. He pouted and said, "If I give birth to a girl, my life will be incomplete?"
Chu Lingxuan was delighted and said with a smile, "If I give birth to a daughter this year, I will try to give birth to a daughter next year. No, I will give birth to a son the year after. My life will still be perfect."
Chen Afu nodded with a smile and continued eating.
The servants, except Xia Yue who was used to it, blushed. They were ashamed for their master. Li Mama shook her head secretly. She would have to remind the grandma in the future. How could a bride be so shameless? Fortunately, the master didn't care. If it got out, others would laugh at her.
After the meal, several elders sent people to give rewards. They were happy with the meal, meaning that they wanted Chen Afu to continue to develop his talent.
The old marquis gave a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads, the third master and the third lady gave a small jade cabbage as big as two fingers, and even the second master was given a small agate goldfish as big as a thumb.
The Third Lady also told the servant who came to deliver the gift that she would go to the palace to see the Queen Mother the next day, and asked Chen Ahfu to make some more of these egg tarts, which she would bring to the palace as a tribute to the Queen Mother.
Chen Afu naturally agreed readily.
