The moonlight was very bright tonight, and there were two large lanterns hanging on the second door, the light made the two brothers' faces red. The two brothers waved their fists, kicked their legs, and giggled.
Chu Hanyan burst into tears again, this time out of excitement. She touched this brother, then that brother, and suddenly became talkative, "Really, my brother is so cute, so pretty, prettier than me, I like him..."
Dabao also wanted to see his younger brother, but couldn't bear to leave his mother, so he took Chen Afu's hand and walked to the car. After seeing his younger brother, he was also very fond of him, so he let go of his mother's hand and pulled his younger brother. Yu Ge'er even grabbed one of his fingers and put it in his mouth, which made him very happy.
After playing with the two little kids, Li Xuan finally had the chance to say a few words to his older brother, sister and uncle.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Chen Ming, Wang and Chu Lingxuan were sitting in the hall waiting for them.
After they had a farewell talk, they went to the west wing to eat. After dinner, Chen Ming's family returned to their own courtyard, Chu Lingqi's family was led to the Chrysanthemum Courtyard to rest, and Li Xuan and the servants went to the west wing.
Seeing this, Dabao and Chu Hanyan did not return to their own courtyards, but held Chen Afu tightly and shouted, "Today I want to sleep with my mother and brother, today I want to sleep with my mother and brother."
Chen Ahfu also missed them terribly, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll sleep with mother today."
She looked up and wanted to give Chu Lingxuan a comforting smile, but Chu Lingxuan's mouth corners raised and he was not angry at all.
After washing up, the family sat on the big bed. This time, there was no storytelling. Instead, they huddled together to express their longing for each other. It was mainly Chen Afu and Chen Dabao who talked in a mushy way, occasionally teasing Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er. The little brother was already used to being played with by Jin Yanzi, and he was giggling and dancing with his limbs when he was played with by his brother and sister.
Chu Lingxuan added, "After this busy period, let's go to Yingxue Temple and let my mother see them. The child has grown up so big, but my mother has never seen him."
Chen Ahfu nodded, fed the two little brothers, and took care of Chouchou, then put them to sleep on the crib. She carried the sleepy Chu girl to the warm room, and Dabao slept on the bed with Chu Lingxuan.
When the little girl began to snore faintly, Chen Ahfu was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Hearing the rustling sound coming from the front, Chu Lingxuan quietly got out of bed, came to the warm room, and reached out to pull Chen Ahfu.
Chen Afu laughed silently, followed him out of the bedroom and came to the east room.
The bright moonlight shone through the small window, illuminating the room dimly, and I could see that there was no one on the kang. Usually, the night watch girl would sleep here.
Chen Afu understood Chu Lingxuan's arrangement, glared at him, and buried herself in his arms. The familiar refreshing smell of his body immediately filled her nose, so warm that her eyes were a little hot. It's been so long, I really miss him.
Chu Lingxuan smiled, carried Chen Afu onto the kang and covered him.
Because they were afraid that the children would hear them, the two of them moved very quietly. Although Chu Lingxuan felt very depressed, he had no choice. It was very good to be able to hug his wife and be intimate with her at this time.
After they finished, they lay on the kang, hugging each other, and Chen Afu whispered to him about Master Chu San's trip to the north.
Chu Lingxuan said, "I already know that Master Gui Ling left for Liaozhou Prefecture yesterday. I also sent two personal soldiers to him and asked the post station to arrange for his mount so that he could reach Liaozhou as quickly as possible." He kissed her earlobe again and whispered, "We have been preparing for a long time, and Third Uncle brought the magic medicine, so there shouldn't be any major problems. These are things that men worry about, so don't think too much about them, and live happily with your child." He emphasized his tone and said, "Everything I do is not only to be loyal to the emperor, but also to make you and your child live happily."
Master Guiling got the news as soon as possible and went to the epidemic area again. Chen Afu glanced at Chu Lingxuan, and in the dim light, his facial features softened a lot. He, his father, and his third uncle might be much more powerful than she thought.
Chen Afu's heart was finally relieved and he slept till dawn.
She opened her eyes and saw Chen Dabao standing at the head of the bed, looking at her with bright eyes. Seeing that she was awake, he lowered his voice and said, "Mom, it's great to see you again in the morning."
Chen Ahfu looked at him with a smile on his face, then looked at the little girl Chu sleeping with a red face beside her, and the two little brothers on the small bed, and her heart softened. Chu Lingxuan was right, those things made men worry, she should live happily with the children.
Chen Afu put on his clothes and took Dabao to the bathroom. After washing up, he came to the west room and found breakfast on the table.
Chu Lingxuan came back from boxing and the others had breakfast.
Chen Ahfu sent the two children to the gate of the courtyard. As always, Zhuifeng's family was waiting there to send the little master to school.
Dabao walked for a distance, turned back and smiled at Chen Afu and waved to her. Chen Afu also smiled and waved back at him.
Chu Lingxuan also stopped and looked back. His wife was as beautiful as a fairy in the morning light, and there were three lovely children sleeping, as well as the little Eleven who always made trouble for him. He had to keep these people safe!
Chen Afu watched them disappear behind the magnolia trees before returning to the yard.
She took people to sort out the things she brought from the capital. She first put aside the gifts for the two children, Chen Ming's family, and the animal home, and began to sort out the gifts for relatives and friends. There were gifts from herself and the Jiang family to the Chen family, gifts to friends such as the Fu family, the Qin family, and the Liu family, gifts to the first and third wives, and gifts from Chen Ayu and her siblings to the third wife.
Just after she finished cleaning up, Chen Ahfu saw Qiqi and Huihui flying in. She smiled and took out the pine nuts she had given them, and then took off the silver rings on their feet and replaced them with new ones. She smiled and said, "You have done a great service by accompanying the little master. Thank you."
The two little ones liked it very much and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Mom."
The servants all laughed and said, "They are really two smart birds."
Soon, Wang and Chen Ming arrived.
Chen Ahfu took out the food, cloth, and jewelry he had sent them. There was a large pile of colorful things, worth a lot of silver.
He also took out the gifts for the first and third wives, two packages of Beijing specialty snacks and two rolls of silk, and gave Old Lady Chen a package of snacks and a pair of silver bracelets. Compared with the original gifts, these were much worse.
Chen Afu saw Wang and Chen Ming were slightly stunned. He smiled and said, "Take these gifts to my father's house and let them pick them up from you." He added, "Eldest uncle and Third uncle are relatives. Giving them so many gifts is enough. I thought they were poor, so I gave them more support. Now their lives are better. If I give them more gifts, it will harm them..."
