Chen Ahfu began to tell a story, and the two children sat cross-legged on the bed and listened attentively. The story was "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush", which had been told many times, but the two little people still loved it very much, their eyes were wide open.
Chu Lingxuan's eyes were also wide open, he was completely looking at the beauty. It was rare for him to look at her so intently in front of the children.
After Chen Afu told it once, he was asked to tell it a second time. After he told it the second time, he was asked to tell it a third time.
She shook her head and said, "No, it's very late now, and Dad has to get up early tomorrow to go to the government office. I'll draw this story into a comic strip, and you guys can read it slowly." After saying that, she got out of bed, ready to carry little Miss Chu to the warm room to sleep.
Dabao quickly stood up and hugged his mother for a kiss, "Mom, kiss your son. It's been a long time since I kissed you. I need you to kiss me more."
Chen Ahfu smiled and held Dabao's little face and kissed him four times, up and down, left and right. Chen Dabao did the same and kissed Chen Ahfu four times in return.
When Miss Chu saw this, she also shouted, "Mom, I want a kiss too, I want a kiss too."
Chen Afu held her little face and kissed her four times, and the little girl kissed him back four times.
Chu Lingxuan frowned and said, "Afu, what are you doing?"
Chen Afu laughed and said nothing.
Chen Dabao grinned and said, "Daddy is jealous, Daddy is jealous."
Miss Chu quickly hugged her father's neck and kissed him twice, comforting him, "Daddy, don't be jealous, I'll kiss you." She then called Dabao, "Come and kiss daddy, if we kiss each other, daddy won't be jealous anymore."
The little girl is sometimes quite thoughtful.
Chen Dabao thought this was the truth. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still leaned over and kissed Chu Lingxuan twice perfunctorily.
Chen Afu smiled and said to Chu Lingxuan, "They both kissed you, so you have to kiss them too." She still wanted Chu Lingxuan and Chen Dabao to be closer.
Chu Lingxuan had no choice but to kiss them back twice, feeling a little embarrassed.
The little girl refused and said, "No, you have to kiss all four of them."
The four of them made a fuss for a while before Chen Afu carried Chu Hanyan away.
At 3:00 pm the next day, Chen Ahfu was woken up by Hong Fei. This was what she had instructed Hong Fei to do the night before: if the master got up and she was still asleep, she should be woken up.
As a wife, she felt that she should send her husband to work.
The servants had already placed the meal in the west room. After Chu Lingxuan finished his breakfast, Chen Afu escorted him out of Yanxiang Pavilion.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Lingxuan kissed her and whispered, "You can't be soft-hearted. You must send Dabao and Yan'er to their own yard to rest today."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Okay, I got it."
Chu Lingxuan added, "When you go to Yingxue Temple, please apologize to my mother for me. I will visit her another day. I heard that Master Wuzhi is not in the temple, so don't go to Lingyin Temple to see him."
Chen Ahfu was a little puzzled as to how Chu Lingxuan knew Wuzhi was not in the temple. But he still agreed, "Okay." He then told him, "It's still dark now, be careful on the road."
Chu Lingxuan nodded, turned and walked towards the outer courtyard, his back disappearing into the thick night.
Chen Afu looked at the morning star in the sky, which was blinking.
It was still early, and she wanted to go to Fuyuan with Hua's mother to make vegetarian snacks for Abbot Laochen, but she felt very sleepy. She yawned and went back to the warm room to take a nap.
Because there was a baking oven for making dim sum in Fuyuan, and Yanchenxiang was added to the well water, Chen Ahfu asked Qiuyue to take Hua Mama to Fuyuan to make dim sum early in the morning. She had been taking Hua Mama to make dim sum earlier. Hua Mama was a cook, so the dim sum she made was very good.
Chen Ahfu was sleeping soundly when Aunt Li came to call him, "Grandma, wake up."
Chen Afu turned over and fell asleep again.
Madam Li added, "Grandma, we are going to Yingxue Nunnery today."
After hearing this, Chen Ahfu had to grit his teeth and get up, but he still didn't want to open his eyes. He muttered, "I'm so sleepy, I don't want to get up."
Seeing Chen Ahfu like this, Madam Li thought of a possibility and smiled. She said, "Grandma, your birthday, which was supposed to be on the 25th, hasn't come yet. Could it be?"
Chen Ahfu suddenly came to her senses. Yes, her period should have come on the 25th. She was so busy every day that she forgot about it. Today is the 29th, and it has been delayed for four days. However, it is not certain that it will come in such a short time.
She said, "It's only been four days, it may not be the case." Of course, she really, really hoped it was.
Li Ma Ma smiled and said, "Whether it is true or not, the eldest lady should be careful. When riding in a carriage today, the seat cushion should be thicker and the horse should run slower. Pay attention to what you should pay attention to." If it were other matters, Li Ma Ma would definitely persuade the master not to go. Now is a critical time, it is best not to ride in a carriage. But the master went to visit her mother-in-law, and it was not easy to stop her.
Chen Afu nodded.
She looked at Chu Hanyan, who was sleeping next to her with a rosy face, pinched her little nose and said with a smile, "Yan'er, it's time to get up. We have to go see grandma today."
Chu Hanyan suddenly woke up when she heard that she was going to visit her grandmother. She was even happier when she saw her mother sitting next to her. She sat up and said with a smile, "I slept with my mother last night. My mother smelled so good."
The servants came to help them put on clothes. Chen Dabao, who was lying on the bed, was also called up by Qiuyue and put on clothes.
Several people went to the west room to eat. Jin Yanzi led Qiqi and Huihui to eat from a large plate beside. The snacks were made by Hua Mama in the morning. In addition to the snacks for the masters of Tangyuan, Hua Mama packed several large food boxes to take to Xueying Temple and also sent some to Luyuan.
After getting ready, Chen Afu and his friends left the upper room. Next to the west wing, a small house was built. This was the home of Zhuifeng and his family. Sasa was lying by the door, with Changchang and Duanduan sucking milk in his arms. Zhuifeng lay beside them and looked at them tenderly.
Chen Ahfu thought that if she was really pregnant, she would have to stay away from animals, except for the golden swallow. She also ordered the servants to temporarily move Zhuifeng's home to Dabao's yard, and move Qiqi and Huihui's nest to Yanjie's yard.
Xia Yue was left behind again, and if Li Xuan made any noise, Xia Yue would take him to Fuyuan to play.
Several people said goodbye to the animal house and went to the outer courtyard. Chen Dabao went directly to Zeyuan for class, while Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan got on the carriage.
A mattress was placed on the seat of the carriage, and Nanny Li also specifically instructed the driver to drive slowly so as not to shake the grandmother.
As the carriage was moving slowly, it was almost noon before they arrived at Yingxue Temple. Chen Ahfu kowtowed to Chen and presented him with the plain clothes and shoes he had made himself.
Liaochen also gave Chen Afu a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads blessed by Master Guijian, the abbot of Lingyin Temple. Seeing that Chen Afu's face was not very good, she felt her pulse and said hesitantly, "It seems to be a slippery pulse, but not quite."
Chen Afu blushed and said that his wedding was postponed for four days.
