Chu Lingxuan read it and said, "It's easy to understand between the lines. The key is the last sentence, which should be not to go north." Chen Afu said, "Master Guiling also said that Master Wuzhi asked him to speak for him, saying that there are two things mentioned here."
Chu Lingxuan asked suspiciously, "Two things? Are they two disasters, or are they two things that caused one disaster?"
The two analyzed it for a while. The literal meaning should be, heavy snow at the end of the year, sunny at the end of the month, don't go north on sunny days... This, this, the scope is too large.
As they were thinking, they were awakened by the laughter of the little girl and Lechen and the cry of Jin Yanzi outside the window. Chu Lingxuan looked at Chen Afu's big belly, then looked at her serious face, and said, "You shouldn't think too much now. Forget it, go home and discuss it with Grandpa, Dad, and Third Uncle."
Chen Ahfu nodded. She was indeed tired. She went to rest on the bed, and Chu Lingxuan left the room.
Chen Afu slept until he was woken up by Hong Fei during dinner time.
At night, the golden swallow played with Chu Hanyan until she fell asleep before flying to the forest. It wanted to wander around outside and return to the space before midnight.
Chen Afu was tired after a day's work and fell asleep as soon as she went to bed. In the middle of the night, she felt an itch in her palms and woke up to find that it was Jin Yanzi who had entered the space. She did not follow in either, as she had to get up early the next morning and riding in a sedan chair was tiring, so she had to rest well.
At dawn the next day, Chen Afu, Chu Lingxuan, and Mother Song, who was holding little girl Chu, left again.
Liaochen sent them out of the nunnery, his eyes full of reluctance.
Before Chu Lingxuan got on the horse, he supported Lechen and said, "Mom, it will be soon. When the Ninth Prince takes power, I will find a way to make you return to secular life."
Liaochen shook his head with tears in his eyes. It is not easy to return to secular life.
In the emperor's heart, even if the husband and son sacrificed their lives for the royal family, it was their duty, not to mention letting his wife and mother become nuns. When they really completed the tasks assigned by the emperor and let the ninth prince truly take power, the emperor would only help his own daughter, and would he help her, an outsider?
But she tried hard to forget her former husband, her sons and grandchildren, but she couldn't do it...
At the end of the afternoon, Chu Lingxuan and his party returned to the General's Mansion. Chen Afu went straight back to the main courtyard to rest, while Chu Lingxuan went to the front courtyard to look for the old marquis.
Chu Hanyan cried until her eyes were red, because when she woke up she found herself in a carriage, and Jin Yanzi was not with her. Mother Song told her that her grandmother saw Jin Yanzi flying away with a group of swallows heading south early in the morning.
When Li Xuan heard that the golden swallow had flown to the south, he burst into tears.
Dabao cried when he heard the news after school. Although he knew that this day would come every year, he felt that Jin Yanzi was not nice enough this year. She just knew that she was going out to play and didn't play with him much.
Jin Yanzi was so moved after hearing this in her space that she swore to spend more time playing with Chou Dabao, Xiao Yanyan and Xiao Xuanxuan next year.
Three days later, Lord Chu, Mr. Chu San, and little boy Chu Lingzhi came to the palace one after another. They came to visit the old Lord Chu.
For safety reasons, the two pillars of the Marquisate would not set out at the same time. One of them would go by land, and the other two would go by water. Lord Chu arrived first, and Lord Chu San and his son arrived later.
In the evening, Chen Ahfu cooked several of her signature dishes despite her big belly. After dinner, Mr. Chu, Lord Chu, Mr. Chu San, Chu Lingxuan and Chen Ahfu sat in the outer study for a meeting.
Several people passed around Master Wuzhi's letter and read it again. The meeting lasted until late at night and they reached a preliminary consensus.
They speculated that since Master Wuzhi specifically wrote "snow is urgent", it could not be an ordinary heavy snow, but most likely a snowstorm. This means that there was a snowstorm at the end of the year, and the disaster ended at the end of January or February. It is impossible that it is still snowing in March. The most likely scenario is that it will end at the end of January.
One of the two things might be related to snow. But for the time being, I can't guess what the master's intention is in writing this, and I can't think of any connection with the Chu family's calamity. I can only think about it slowly and act accordingly.
The second thing is to avoid going north, which is definitely a matter of life and death for the Chu family. They discussed that Dabao should not go north of Dingzhou, and the Chu brothers should not go north of the capital. It is easy for Dabao to do it, but it is not easy for the Chu brothers to do it. Especially the third master, who is in charge of the northern army, will definitely have an errand to the northern border. Try not to go, and if you really can't avoid it, you must take a magic medicine given by the old monk.
In terms of time, the most likely possibility is when the weather improves after the snowstorm, but before the New Year is certainly not ruled out.
Chen Ahfu took out the magic medicine and gave one to Master Chu San. The brothers were in the capital, and if anyone wanted to go north, they would take the magic medicine with them. The medicine in her hand was kept for Dabao.
She thought of her previous speculation that the Second Prince was a reborn person, and felt that Master Chu was about to get into trouble. If he got into trouble, it would be too easy for the Second Prince and his party to destroy the Chu family. With this magic medicine, she hoped that he could escape danger.
He also thought, if he had an accident, he wondered if Mrs. Chu, who was deeply in love with him, would be able to survive. Once Mrs. Chu fell, the Chu family would lose the support of the Queen Mother, and the future would be even more difficult. Chen Afu really liked Mrs. Chu very much, and didn't want her wonderful life to be so short.
The next day, Master Chu San hurried back to Beijing, leaving his son Chu Lingzhi behind to serve as a filial son to the old marquis on behalf of the third branch. Master Chu went directly to Lingyin Temple, where he would copy scriptures and be a vegetarian for a month to pray for the Dashun Dynasty. Chen Afu was secretly happy. Master Chu was very good at finding excuses. He was there for a month, and he didn't know if he would meet Lechen.
Chu Lingxuan also said that he had been busy recently and could not come back often at night. Chen Afu guessed that this might be related to the Ninth Prince going to Lingyin Temple for treatment.
Chu Lingzhi moved to Chaohuayuan and went to the front yard to attend classes every day with Dabao.
Chen Ahfu particularly likes this boy, who is generous, tough, not spoiled, and does not have the arrogance of a child from an aristocratic family. He not only plays well with Dabao and Yan'er, but also with Alu. Sometimes, he would follow Alu to Chen Shi's house to play, and he also played well with Chen Atang. He is just seven years old this year, and Mrs. Chu San is really willing to let him go. If it were her, she would definitely not want to leave such a young son somewhere else.
What worried Chen Afu the most was that Wang became ill due to fear after hearing that Wang Cheng was hidden away.
Later, Chen Afu sent a letter to Wang, telling her that her uncle was not in danger, but had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and was being protected by Chu Lingxuan. When that matter was resolved, they would go out and live a normal life. But Wang was still upset and kept taking herbal medicine.
Chen Afu wanted Wang to come and live in the city, where the doctors were good and they, the siblings, could often comfort her.
But it was the autumn harvest season, and Chen Ming had many fields and a grain store, so he was too busy to take care of everything. Wang said that she would come to the city with Chen Ming after the autumn harvest.
