The next day, Wang Cheng came to Zhuxuan after having breakfast in the outer courtyard.
Chu Lingxuan told him that Master Chu San would send someone to investigate the matter, but it would be done in secret. He would say hello to Commander Lin, ask Wang Cheng to go to his military camp, and ask him not to tell anyone about the matter.
Commander Lin is the father of Princess Rui. It is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken to transfer a groom. Perhaps Chu Lingxuan wants Commander Lin to have an impression of Wang Cheng and pave the way for the future.
Wang Cheng stood up and agreed, grinning again. Arriving at General Chu's camp, he was even closer to his sister's home. But he was still afraid of Chu Lingxuan, so he habitually stood up and answered whenever his superior asked him a question.
Chu Lingxuan asked him to sit down again. He told him that he could only be a soldier in his barracks and he could not promote him for no reason. However, Wang Cheng had to stay in the barracks. If Yang Qing's crime of impersonation was proven, he could ask for merit for him. He also asked him what easier job he wanted to do in the future.
Wang Cheng said, "I still want to feed the horses. I've been doing this job for so many years, I'm used to it."
Chu Lingxuan was busy and could not accompany Chen Afu to Wang's house. Chen Afu, along with several guards, servants, and an old doctor from Huichuntang, drove with Wang Cheng to the north gate of the city.
An hour and a half later, the carriage arrived at Jiuli Village.
The carriage stopped in front of a yard and Chen Afu got off.
This is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence with three thatched houses. Brother Wang is squatting in front of the chicken coop feeding the chickens.
Chen Afu was a little dazed and felt that this small courtyard was her previous home in Xiangluo Village, and the person feeding the chickens was Chen Alu.
When Wang Xiaodi saw Wang Cheng bringing so many people home, he was a little scared and stood up and said, "Dad, they..."
Wang Cheng laughed and said, "Little brother, are you stupid? Come on, call your cousin."
Chen Afu and his companions had already entered the yard. Although Wang Xiaodi was a little confused, he still bowed to Chen Afu and said with a red face, "Meet my cousin."
Chen Ahfu smiled and touched his hairpin. The more he looked at this child, the more he looked like Ah Lu when he first traveled through time. Not only did they look alike, but they were also both thin and shy.
Xia Yue quickly handed Wang Xiaodi a purse containing two silver ingots. Wang Xiaodi timidly glanced at his father, and when he saw his father smiling and nodding, he reached out to take it.
At this time, a young woman who was less than thirty years old and a little girl of a few years old walked out of the thatched house and looked at the large group of gorgeously dressed people, as well as the horses and carriages in surprise.
Wang Cheng laughed loudly, "Mom, I found my sister. This is my niece Ah Fu." He then said to Wang Xiaodi, "Go to the neighbor's house and borrow some more tables and chairs to invite the guests to have tea."
Little Brother Wang finally came to his senses and quickly agreed and ran out of the courtyard. Several servants followed him out with tears in their eyes.
Wu finally came to her senses and burst into tears, crying, "Great, I finally found my sister. Ah Fu, come in quickly." She then said to her daughter, "Little sister, come and call me cousin."
Wang Xiaomei was so scared that she ran over and hugged Wang Cheng's legs, staring at Chen Afu with big eyes, but she didn't dare to call for help.
Wang Cheng smiled at Chen Afu and said, "Country boy, I have never met him before."
Chen Afu smiled, and several people walked into the house.
The kitchen is right after entering the house. The furnishings are similar to those in Xiangluo Village. They turned right and entered the east room. Mrs. Wu had difficulty walking and walked very slowly.
After entering the house, Wu held Chen Afu's hand and said in tears, "I finally found you. Otherwise, I would not be able to close my eyes even after I died. My boss spent all the money he had saved to find my sister on marrying me. I have committed a great sin..."
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Look at what you are saying. I am happy today, so I won't talk about these unhappy things."
Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you." She then took the tea bowl to add sugar water and asked Wang Cheng to buy meat.
Chen Ahfu persuaded her to stop, Xia Yue and the others came over to make tea, and put some candies and fruits on the table. The other two maids were busy in the kitchen, bringing meat, vegetables and eggs.
Chen Ahfu pulled Wang Xiaomei to his side, gently pinched her pale and thin face, took a few candies and stuffed them into her hands. He smiled and said, "You call me Xiaomei, right?"
Wang Xiaomei nodded and said "hmm".
Xia Yue took out another purse and handed it to Wang Xiaomei.
Wang Xiaomei took the purse and looked at it. She happily walked up to Wu and whispered, "Mom, this purse is very beautiful. Let's sell it to pay off grandma's debt."
Wu blushed and said angrily, "Nonsense, this is what my cousin gave to me, how can I sell it?"
Wang Cheng rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, "My family is poor. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Ah Fu."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Our family had a hard time in the past few years, and it's only in the past two years that things have gotten better."
After saying this, he asked the old doctor to examine Mrs. Wu.
Brother Wang led a few servants to borrow tables and chairs from the neighbor's house and set them up in the yard. In addition to Nanny Li, Xia Yue, Yu Zhuo, and two cooks, the other guards and servants sat in the yard drinking tea.
When the villagers heard that the Wang family had a distinguished guest, they all ran to watch the fun and surrounded the courtyard.
Nanny Li asked the servants to give them some candy.
As they were talking, they heard a sharp voice in the yard, "Hey, there's a distinguished guest at my son-in-law's house..."
Chen Afu looked out the window and saw a woman in her forties licking her face and smiling coquettishly at Yu Biao. She thought Yu Biao was Wang Cheng's relative.
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Miss, you are my son-in-law's niece, right? Oh my, you are like a fairy from heaven, so pretty. I am the mother-in-law of my son-in-law Chengzi, and my old man asked me to invite you to our home." She then said to little brother Wang who was pouring tea, "Hurry up and tell your father how we can entertain guests in your simple home. Let's go to grandma's house. Grandma has asked your uncle to buy some meat."
Little Brother Wang was most afraid of grandma. He looked at her with red eyes, then at the people in the yard. He didn't want his cousin and these people to go to grandma's house, but he didn't dare to say it.
Yuzhuo knew that his uncle's in-laws had always oppressed him, so of course she would not be nice to Wu Pozi. She said with a gloomy face, "You called me the wrong name. I am just our grandmother's maid. Our grandmother is here as a guest at our uncle's house, and she will not go to an unrelated family."
When Mrs. Wu heard that the person wearing gold and silver was just a maid, she thought, my God, the relatives of her son-in-law must be very rich. She laughed even more happily and hurried into the house, "Oh, then I have to meet the distinguished guest. Invite the distinguished guest to our house for dinner. We are so poor here, how can we have good food and dishes to treat the distinguished guest."
Yuzhuo went over to stop her and said, "Who can see our great grandmother whenever they want? If you disturb her, you'll be punished."
The guards first thought that this woman was a relative of the uncle, so they did not stop her. But after seeing Yuzhuo's attitude, they knew that the grandmother did not like this person.
They all stood up and said, "What are you doing? Do you think you can just see my grandmother? Go, go, go, get out!"
