Jiang added, "The He family is really powerful. Ever since your father got into trouble, that family hasn't come to our house. This time, we sent the New Year gifts according to the gifts given by the in-laws, but what they gave couldn't even compare to the gifts given by our close friends. I think that if your father didn't get into trouble or was demoted, this marriage wouldn't be possible."
Chen Afu said, "Even if the marriage fails, it's still a good thing for Chen Yuhui."
Jiang snorted coldly, "Girl Hui doesn't think so. She cries every day, afraid that she will lose this marriage..."
That person is a wicked idiot to the core. Chen Afu sneered a few times and sent Jiang away.
After dinner, Chen Afu gritted his teeth and took Dabao to the west room alone.
She held Dabao in her arms and said that they would return to the capital to celebrate the New Year. But because Chen Afu's relationship with the Marquis' Mansion was not good, she was afraid that someone would harm him and he would be wronged, so she couldn't take him back this year. She would wait until Chen Afu had a good relationship, and then take her back...
Dabao burst into tears when he heard this, and hugged Chen Afu and said, "Mom, I am not afraid of being wronged. As long as I am with mom, my brother and my sister, I am willing to endure any grievance. You said you would hold my hand forever, but now you only hold dad, my sister, and my two brothers' hands, and not me..."
His words made Chen Ahfu's eyes red. She said, "Son, I can't bear to leave you either. There is a hand in my heart that has been holding you and will never let go. But, the capital... the Marquis' Mansion is really not good. I am afraid that someone will hurt you because of me. My dear child, I have no choice. I can't bear to leave you either..."
Chu Lingxuan knew that Chen Afu and Chen Dabao could not reach a conclusion, so he pushed the door open and walked in. He sat next to Chen Afu, stroked Chen Dabao's head and said softly, "Dad and Mom did this for your own good. We don't want anything to happen to you. You are a man. There are so many people in the mansion. Grandma, grandpa, and uncle will come to accompany you. Dad will also be here with you until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year. Time flies. It won't be long before Mom and the others are back..."
Although Chen Dabao had some resistance to Chu Lingxuan in his heart, he would not talk back to him. He just hugged Chen Afu and cried until he was hoarse, crying all of Chen Afu's tears out.
At this time, Chu Hanyan came in with tears in her eyes. She came to the door when she heard her brother crying and heard the conversation between her parents and her brother. She went over and held Dabao's hand and said to Chu Lingxuan, "Daddy, let me stay at home with my brother. I can't bear to leave my brother. Mom has two younger brothers to accompany him, but my brother only has me to accompany him..."
Dabao was deeply moved after hearing this. He slid down Chen Afu's legs and hugged Chu Hanyan and cried again.
Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu looked at each other, and it seemed that this was the only way. Before, they had also discussed letting Chu Hanyan stay in the mansion with Dabao, but Lord Chu was reluctant. He said that Chu Hanyan's name had not yet been written into the ancestral hall, so it was a good opportunity to write her name in when writing the names of the two brothers. Although she could not enter the ancestral hall, she had to kowtow to the ancestors outside. She had suffered the most since she was a child, and asked the ancestors to bless her with a smooth life in the future.
Since Chen Dabao reacted so strongly, there was no choice but to let her stay here with Dabao.
Chu Lingxuan stroked Chu Hanyan's head and said, "Good child, Daddy and Mommy will try to come back soon."
Dabao saw that his parents would not change their decision even if he cried, so he could only say, "I can't bear to leave my mother and brother. Can my sister and I stay at mother's place for two days? We want to be closer to mother."
Chu Hanyan also couldn't bear to leave her mother and brother, so she looked up and said, "Yeah, Sister thinks so too."
Chu Lingxuan had already frowned. Chen Ahfu quietly pulled him and smiled at the two children, "Okay, mother also wants to have more kisses with Dabao and Yan'er." Then she said to Chu Lingxuan, "For the next two days, my daughter and I will sleep in the warm room, and you and my son will sleep in the big bed."
After hearing this, the two children looked at Chu Lingxuan with their eyes full of tears. Chu Lingxuan was unhappy because he would also be separated from his wife for half a month. But seeing the two children's tears, he could only nod and agree.
Before going to bed, the whole family, who had bathed nicely, gathered on the big bed. Even the two little brothers were carried to the innermost part of the bed to lie down. Chen Ahfu told them two stories, and then held them and nibbled a few times, making them giggle. When Miss Chu was drowsy, he carried her to the warm room to rest.
During the night, Chen Afu got up to feed the two little brothers twice and took care of Chouchou without waking up Dabao and Yan.
On the morning of the 14th, Chen Ming and Wang came to the General's Mansion with some spare clothes.
They lived in Fenglinyuan, which was very close to Chaohuayuan and Yuetaoxuan.
In the evening, several tables were set up in Fenglin Courtyard. Not only did the masters come to eat, but also two tables of respectable servants were invited. After dinner, Chen Ahfu called Luo Mama over again and solemnly handed the magic medicine to her for safekeeping, just in case.
At the end of the 7th hour on the 15th, the old marquis and Chen Afu led Li Xuan, Yu Ge'er, Ming Ge'er, and Chu Lingzhi to the outer courtyard. Wang led Chu Hanyan, Chen Ming led Dabao, and A Lu to see them off to the gate.
Chen Dabao and Chu Hanyan cried so hard that Wang and A Lu's eyes turned red.
Hearing the crying sound getting farther and farther away, Chen Afu also shed tears. Li Xuan's crying sound was also heard from another car.
The weather today was good, with only a little snow. The official road was also cleaned up, with only a thin layer of fresh snow, so the carriage was running quite fast.
Chen Afu was in a car with his two little brothers and two wet nurses. They had thick mattresses on their legs and hot water bottles in their hands, so they were not too cold.
At first, Li Xuan insisted on riding in the same car with them, but there was no room, so he asked Sasa, Changchang and Duanduan to accompany him, and then he agreed with tears.
This time, Sasa and her mother and three dogs were also brought along. Qiqi and Huihui were to accompany little girl Chu, and Zhuifeng was to accompany Dabao, so the animal home was temporarily separated.
At noon, we had mutton soup and steamed buns in a small town, let the horses rest for a while, and then set off again. In the evening, we arrived at a county town, where someone had booked a yard at the post station. We rested for a night, set off early the next morning, and finally arrived in the capital at the end of the afternoon.
If the road is easy to travel, we can arrive at noon.
Second Master Chu Lingqi is already waiting at the city gate.
He came to the old man's car and Chen Afu's car and saluted.
When they arrived at Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, it was already dark. Chen Afu led the child directly back to the bamboo courtyard, and waited outside the door with Xiaohong and the servants of the bamboo courtyard, wearing a jade bracelet that combed the woman's hair.
The jade bracelet now belongs to Yu Yongshun's family, or Yu's sister-in-law.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, the water is already boiled, the mutton pot is ready, and the kang is warm. We are waiting for you." She whispered, "Princess Rui has been waiting here for a long time."
