Chen Afu was a little stunned. Chen Aman’s idea was really rare and smart.
Yang Mingyuan was a veteran in the business world, and Chen Aman could not outsmart him no matter how hard she tried. As long as she had no bad intentions, he would naturally arrange everything for her and give her what she deserved. Her thoughts would win more love from him and Yang's mother.
Judging from the way they teach their children, the difference between the first and third wives' lives is getting bigger and bigger. There is a reason for this. Chen Shi and Zhang are both smart and kind people, and they teach their children well.
Chen Ahfu nodded and said, "You are not too old, so it's okay to have children two years later. Brother Chao and Sister Qian are both good children. If you are sincere to them, they will also be sincere to you... However, you must grasp the right degree. Whether it is the relationship between husband and wife, or the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or mother and son, you must be sincere and respect each other, but you can't be too humble..."
If one party keeps a low profile for a long time, it will easily encourage some people to be arrogant. Chen Ahfu can only stop at the right time.
Chen Aman seemed to understand the meaning of her words and nodded.
When everyone talked about Chen Ayu's marriage, there were several families who were interested in him, all of whom were small business owners, but he turned them down. Chen Afu nodded, Ayu was only seventeen years old, there was no need to be too anxious. Yang Mingyuan also hoped that Ayu would find a good family. With the support of the Chu family, the daughter-in-law's family would rise sooner or later. If Ayu married a girl with a better family background, he would have more help.
Chen Ahfu still joked, "It would be great if Ah Yu gets married. Then I can take the child back to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
Everyone laughed.
They played until they had dinner before going home. Before leaving, Yang Chao and Yang Qian pulled Chen Afu to tell her to bring Dabao and Yan'er with her next time.
As soon as he got home, Chen Afu was invited to Rong'an Hall. Before he entered the house, he heard the hearty laughter of the Third Madam. The old Marquis and the Marquis Chu were both here, and they all looked happy.
It turned out that the Ninth Prince's one main wife and two concubines were all pregnant. The main wife, Zhang, got pregnant first, and she kept it a secret. Only Lord Chu and the Third Master knew about it in the Chu family. Now, the other two concubines, Yang and Huang, were pregnant at the same time, so it was announced.
This is really great news. The Ninth Prince now has three children, so Dabao will not be in any danger.
Chen Ahfu was really reluctant to part with the little guy, but she also wanted to send him away quickly. She was so conflicted. She asked, "The Ninth Prince has a child. Will Dabao return to the palace soon?"
Lord Chu shook his head and said, "Dabao should return to the palace after the Ninth Prince has completely grasped the situation. This is not only a matter of danger, but also because we don't want the other princes to know the special treatment the Emperor has for the prince born to Concubine Shan."
After hearing this, Chen Ahfu was actually a little happy. From now on, Dabao will not be in any danger. Even if he follows him, it will not bring much trouble to his life. Thinking about it, the old monk's Taoism is really deep. At that time, he said that Dabao should not leave the area of 100 miles around Xiangluo Village for two years, otherwise it would be very dangerous. That was the first month of two years ago, and the deadline had just arrived.
In the evening, Chen Ahfu brought the child, half a bowl of pine nuts and two pieces of rose candies made by the imperial kitchen into the space to comfort the cute little thing. It worked hard to find the three-color ball for the ninth prince.
On February 8, Chen Ahfu, accompanied by his second master Chu Lingqi and Luo Guanshi, went to visit Chen Shiying again. He was about to leave, so he went to say goodbye to him.
It was still General Lin who came to receive them from last time, and Chu Lingqi gave him a purse filled with silver bills.
After entering the upper room, Chu Lingqi and Manager Luo were talking to General Lin in the living room, while Chen Afu went into the side room by himself.
Chen Shiying had already gotten off the kang. When she saw Chen Afu coming in, she smiled and pulled her back to sit on the kang. She asked, "Are the grandchildren all right? It's so cold and hot here. Are you sick?"
Chen Ahfu said, "The children are all good, white and plump, and have grown so long." She gestured with her hands and smiled, "They can roll over and chase people away. Their grandfather loves them very much. He has always said that in the future, Yu'er will learn martial arts from grandfather, and Ming'er will learn literature from grandfather."
Chen Shiying laughed and said, "Okay, okay, from now on, Dad will be responsible for teaching Ming Ge'er his homework and raising him to be a top scholar."
His laughter was very hearty and came from the heart.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Dad looks good, much more energetic than last time."
Chen Shiying smiled and said, "Dad is fine. He always keeps the kang heated when it's cold, and he even uses a charcoal basin for a few days." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, meaning that the silver you gave him must be quite a lot.
Chen Ahfu smiled and nodded. Before, she had asked Chu Lingqi to bring Manager Luo to come twice, and each time she gave him a large sum of money, hoping that Chen Shiying could live a better life and not be cold or hungry.
Of course, the soldiers here didn't dare to accept money from anyone. Jiang's family had sent money several times, but they had always refused it with righteous words.
This time, Chen Ahfu not only brought his own food, wine, and spring clothes, but also brought food and clothes sent by the Jiang family. He also muttered a lot, asking him to take care of himself, not to starve, think more about good things, and think more about his family...
Chen Shiying said, "This is the first time in my father's life that he has really calmed down and thought. He not only thought about the past, but also about the future. When he was a child, he thought about working hard every day to realize his father's unrealized ideal, pass the imperial examination, and become a good official. After becoming an official, because of what your grandmother did, he was always worried and anxious, treading on thin ice, fearing that the old things would be exposed, ruining his good reputation, and delaying his children. Now I think that my father is superficial and narrow-minded... No matter how careful and cautious he is, he can't cover up what he has done, and it will eventually be exposed, it's just a matter of time... If my father is lucky enough to regain his freedom and can continue to be an official, he will try his best to be a good official. If he can't be an official, being an ordinary citizen is also good. 'Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, leisurely seeing the southern mountains', that kind of life is also desirable..."
Judging from his current state, he has really let it go. It's good this way, as long as he is alive, no matter what the outcome, he can face and accept it calmly.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Dad is a man of great literary talent and handsome appearance. Even if he doesn't become an official, he is still a famous person admired by the world."
Chen Shiying laughed and said, "Fu'er is the best gift God has given to Daddy. Every time I see you, Daddy is filled with joy."
Chen Ahfu smiled with curved eyebrows and said, "Dad, what you said makes your daughter very happy."
The conversation was very relaxed this time, and neither of them mentioned what kind of punishment Chen Shiying would face. Right now, the emperor and the ministers were not busy with him, so his affairs would have to wait for a while before they would be dealt with.
The two incidents in Jiangnan had also been clarified. One was done by the servants of Old Lady Chen, and the other was done by the Tang family. Chen Shiying later made amends, returned the silver, and the Tang family who beat the man to death returned the things they had occupied and compensated several hundred taels of silver. The victim said at the time that he would not pursue the matter any further.
