In the past few days, Miss Chu has been taking Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er to Luomei Temple to accompany her grandmother. Except for eating and sleeping, they are almost always there. Chu Lingxuan will also go to accompany her when he has nothing to do, and even stayed there for two nights. Chen Dabao has been staying with Wang and others in Chaohua Garden. Sometimes Atang, Xiaodi, Xiaomei, Qin Mu and other children will also come.
Early in the morning of the 17th, just after daybreak, the Chu family sent out more than a dozen carriages and dozens of horses.
Song supported the tearful Lechen, and also the tearful Wang, Chen Ming, Wangcai, and Yuanbao, and sent them out. Chu Lingqi and A Lu sent them out of the city, where Wang Cheng, Chen Shi, Chen Yulan, Chen Atang, Wang Xiaodi, General Fu and other friends were still waiting for them...
Seeing the tall city walls gradually being left behind, Chen Ahfu lowered the curtain and tears welled up in his eyes again. He had been so busy these days that he didn't have much time to think about it.
This time, she was not only going to say goodbye to her beloved Dabao, but also leaving Dingzhou Prefecture and Fuyuan where she had lived for so long. She always thought that as long as she was in Dingzhou, she could go back to Fuyuan at any time. But after entering Beijing, it was difficult to go back to Fuyuan. Unfortunately, time was too tight, so she didn't go back to take a look.
Chu Lingxuan knew that Chen Afu was upset, so he said goodbye to the people who saw him off and got into the carriage. Seeing this, he advised Chen Afu, "The capital is not far from here. When the weather warms up and the river is opened, you can get there in a day by boat. In the future, if you miss your mother, your mother-in-law, or your hometown, you can come back anytime."
Chen Ahfu asked, "In the future, there will be many people and many things to do in the mansion. Can you still be so casual?"
Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "The elders in the mansion are all easy to get along with, and Second Aunt lives in a different room, so she can't control you."
Dabao and Miss Chu were very happy. Thinking about the new life that was about to begin, both of them were full of anticipation.
Dabao smiled and said, "Mom, I will come back with you in the future. Not only will we come back to see grandma, grandma, grandpa, and uncle, but we will also go back to our hometown to see Fuyuan, Luyuan, Xiangluo Village, and the grove at the west end of the village."
Miss Chu added, "There is also Tang Garden. I want to see Tang Garden."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back together and watch everything we need to watch."
The weather was good during the past few days. Although it was cold, it did not snow. We arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion at 3 p.m. the next day.
Chu Ling'an, Chu Lingwei, Chu Lingzhi and some stewards were waiting at the door to greet them. There were even three eunuchs holding whisks inside.
The women and children did not get off the car, but went directly to the second gate. But Chu Lingxuan led Dabao off the car and exchanged a few words with Chu Lingan and his brothers.
Although Chu Lingan was very puzzled, why did his uncle bring three eunuchs with him when he came, one of whom was the chief eunuch He Gonggong in Siyuan Palace. Siyuan Palace was the palace of Concubine Shan Xian, and Eunuch He was one of her personal eunuchs. Although my brother had helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, it was not right for Concubine Xian to send eunuchs to welcome my brother and his family.
Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to say much.
After Chu Lingxuan and Chen Dabao got out of the car, Chu Lingan noticed from the corner of his eye that Eunuch He's eyes never left Chen Dabao and he even shed tears.
Chen Dabao is the eldest brother's adopted son, or more precisely, a burden brought by the eldest sister-in-law. Chu Lingan's heart suddenly started beating wildly after taking a closer look at Dabao's appearance. Oh my god...
Afterwards, Eunuch He returned to the palace, and the other two eunuchs actually went to the inner courtyard with them.
They went directly to Anrong Hall.
There were a lot of people sitting in the hall. Except for Mr. Chu San who was on duty, everyone was there, including Mr. Chu. He and the old Mr. Chu sat in the upper seats.
Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu took the children to pay respect to the elders. However, Chen Dabao was taken to the side room by Luo's mother and was not allowed to kowtow to the elders of the Chu family.
Dabao saw this, and the joy and novelty he had felt before suddenly disappeared. He was so aggrieved that tears came out. He cried and asked Luo, "Mother Luo, is it because I am a burden brought by my mother that you don't allow me to greet the elders of the Chu family? My mother loves me so much, she knows that you will be sad if you treat me like this..."
Luo's mother's eyes also turned red. She wiped his tears and whispered to comfort him, "Brother, stop crying. It's not what you think. Grandpa, and the old marquis, the marquis, they all like you very much, just like grandma. I'll come and explain to you why they did this later."
Dabao sniffed and said, "You don't need to explain it to me. I'm afraid they will dislike my mother because of me, a burden. If I had known this, I shouldn't have come to the Marquis' Mansion with them, and my mother wouldn't have been embarrassed..."
When Li saw Miss Chu, her eyes widened. Even though she heard her son say that Chu Hanyan had become smarter, she never thought that she would really become like a normal little girl.
Looking at the two little brothers who were only one year and four months old and could walk steadily, they were strong, beautiful and lovable, and her heart ached like needles. The eldest branch of the family already had two grandsons, but her own branch did not even have a legitimate grandson.
Thinking back to the wishful thinking in the past, it was really ridiculous. She pinched her hands in her sleeves. If it wasn't the Ninth Prince who was the Crown Prince, any other prince would be fine. In that case, Princess Rong Zhao wouldn't be unable to control her uncle like she is now, and the first family wouldn't be able to turn things around...
After the greetings, the old marquis kept Lord Chu, Chu Lingxuan, Chen Afu, and the third lady, and asked everyone else to go back and come back for dinner in the evening.
When Chen Afu went to the side room alone, he saw Dabao, no, he should be called the Eleventh Prince now. He saw that Little Eleven was looking at the door with red eyes, aggrieved and nervous.
As soon as Xiao Shiyi saw Chen Afu come in, he stood up, hugged Chen Afu's waist and said, "Mom, I..." He suddenly didn't know what to say. He wanted to say that he was wronged and unhappy, but he was afraid that his mother would be sad.
Chen Ahfu sighed, cupped his face with his hands, pulled him to sit down, held his hand tightly with one hand, pointed at Wang Laowu who followed in and said, "Good boy, do you know him?"
Chen Dabao said in confusion, "He is Uncle Wang Wu, our neighbor in Xiangluo Village. He later served as my personal attendant. Of course I know him."
Chen Afu continued, "His real identity is a secret guard in the Imperial Guards, specializing in protecting the emperor. Later, he was sent to protect you." Seeing Dabao looking at her with wide eyes, he added, "In fact, you are not an orphan, you have a father and a mother. They did not abandon you, but sent you out to better protect you." Her tears flowed, and she continued, "We have been together for so many years, it is a rare mother-son fate. From now on, no matter where you live, I will always think of you, and that invisible hand will always hold you..."
