The little Yu'er in front of him, with her hair hanging down past her ears, was wearing the Yang Fei-colored pajamas and bunny slippers that only his wife would make. There were two circles of blush on her jade-white face, and it was obvious that she had just crawled out of bed. She looked at him with her big round, black, shiny eyes, and twisted her fingers in confusion.
Chu Lingxuan's smile deepened, and he reached out and picked her up.
Xiao Yu'er was hesitating when she suddenly felt herself in mid-air. It turned out that her father had picked her up. His father kissed her face twice and laughed, "Xiao Yu'er, my little darling."
Chu Lingxuan's emotions infected Xiao Yu'er, and she also hugged her father's neck and kissed him twice, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy, hehehe..."
Her little mouth was right next to Chu Lingxuan's ear, and her loud voice startled him. He didn't expect that this little person's voice would be so loud.
Chu Lingxuan smiled and kissed her a few more times.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let your father take a bath."
Chu Lingxuan came out of the bathroom and started to get intimate with the children again. Soon, the food was already placed on the kang table.
Chen Ahfu said to the children, "It's already the 11:00 p.m., it's time to go to bed. When you get up tomorrow, you'll be able to see your third grandfather who is the marshal."
The children were tired, but they still clung to their father and didn't want to leave. Chu Hanyan saw her mother looking at her, so she stood up and hugged Xiao Yu'er and said, "Let's go and rest first, and come back to see father tomorrow."
Xiao Yuer yawned to show her approval.
Seeing that their elder sister and younger sister were about to leave, the two brothers obediently followed them out.
Chen Afu sat on the kang, poured a glass of wine for Chu Lingxuan, drank half for himself, raised his glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations to our great hero on his triumphant return."
Chu Lingxuan finished the meal with a smile, his fiery eyes never leaving Chen Afu, which made Chen Afu, a thick-skinned man, blush. Although the dishes on the table were Chu Lingxuan's favorite, facing his most desired wife, the wine and food on the table became tasteless.
He drank two more glasses of wine, stood up and said, "I'm full." He then said to the maidservant beside him, "You guys go out, I'll clean up here tomorrow."
He didn't want to wait even a quarter of an hour. Before the girl left the room, he picked up Chen Ahfu and walked towards the bedroom. Chen Ahfu was so embarrassed that he whispered, "Can't you wait a little longer? Let me go out first..."
Chu Lingxuan said, "I've been waiting for a year and I can't hold it back any longer." Then he put her on the bed.
Chen Ahfu suddenly thought of something, and used his hand to block Chu Lingxuan's mouth, saying, "You have prostitutes in your barracks, right? And a few months ago, the late emperor rewarded you for your great victory, not only with fine wine, pigs and sheep, but also with some women... Are you still holding it in?"
Thinking of that perverted organization and the perverted previous emperor, Chen Afu felt a little uncomfortable.
Chu Lingxuan grabbed her hand, leaned over and kissed her, and said with a smile, "My uncle and I only enjoyed the wine, pigs and sheep. As for the women, we left them to the brothers..." He pinched Chen Afu's chin and said, "In such a good atmosphere, don't say anything that spoils the fun." Then, he pressed down on her.
After thinking about Chen Afu for more than a year, saving his energy for more than a year, and drinking a lot, Chu Lingxuan worked very hard and seriously. However, Chen Afu was out of character.
She didn't notice that Jin Yanzi and Jin Bei had already entered the space. In her mind, there were always shadows of two birds. One bird looked around with confused eyes, not knowing what was going on. Another bird was blushing with shame, and was running wildly with two tubes of blood hanging from its nose. Sometimes it would scold a few words, "Mommy, Daddy Chu is teaching the children bad things. Oh, I'm so embarrassed, I'm ashamed for you..."
Chen Afu was helpless. At this time, she had no choice but to let others manipulate her.
They asked for water twice that night. When Chen Afu fell asleep, Chu Lingxuan was still working on the farm.
The next day, Chen Afu was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a loud noise. It was the voices of children.
Chen Afu opened her eyes and saw four children standing in a row in front of her bed.
Ming Ge'er said, "Mom, the sun is shining on my butt."
Xiao Yu'er was still shaving her face and said, "Mom, you are lazy, lazy."
Chu Hanyan and Yu Ge'er laughed at her.
When Xia Yue saw Chen Afu woke up, she smiled and said, "Master was invited to Rong'an Hall by the old marquis and the third lady. He didn't allow me to disturb you." Then she came over to help her get up.
Chen Afu sat up, feeling sore all over, and cursed Chu Lingxuan inwardly for being a pervert in fighting and not knowing how to be gentle with women.
At 9:00 pm, Chen Ahfu led several children to Rong'an Hall. Not only the old marquis and the third wife were there, but also the second wife's family.
Chen Ahfu saw Li curled her lips, but ignored her and smiled embarrassedly to the Third Madam, "The master came back yesterday, and the children were very late, so we got up late, and we have been waiting for them until now."
The children were all attracted by their father and didn't pay attention to their mother's "wrong" words. After paying respects to the elders, they all leaned on Chu Lingxuan.
Xiao Yuer climbed directly onto his legs, the two brothers leaned on one leg each, and Chu Hanyan leaned on his side.
Listening to their conversation, yesterday the emperor wanted to confer the title of Xijin Marquis to the Third Master, and confer him the title of Minister of War, and the title of Shao Bao from the first rank, and give Chu Lingxuan the position of a general. However, the men of the Chu family did not dare to accept this great honor and favor.
Before, Lord Chu and the old Lord had already discussed the future of the men in the Chu family. Lord Chu, who was feared by the previous emperor, would retire, the third Lord, who was highly meritorious, would semi-retire, the young Lords Chu Lingxuan, Chu Lingqi, and Chu Lingan would strive for a better future, and the fourth Lord Chu Lingwei would enter the government in two years. Although Chu Lingwei was studying in the Imperial Academy, his grades were not very good, so he would also join the army to seek a future.
The connections in Lord Chu's hands can be gradually passed on to Chu Lingxuan in the future. When Chu Lingwei grows up, the third master's title and connections will be gradually passed on to Chu Lingwei.
Because of the special circumstances, Lord Chu and the Third Master, with the support of the previous emperor, had gathered a lot of forces, both openly and secretly. This was also what the previous emperor feared the most about the Chu family. Although the power had been handed over, the connections were still in their hands. In order to fight against future political enemies and preserve the family, although they retired, they had to pass on these connections.
This idea had been conveyed to Master Chu San and Chu Lingxuan by his confidants. Therefore, Master Chu San only accepted the honorary title of Shao Bao and refused the real position and the title.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the emperor wanted the third master to transfer to a civilian position as the Minister of War, the emperor did not want the third master to continue to be an official. How could a family have the highest official who dispatched the army and the high-ranking official who commanded the army? These high hats made the third master and Chu Lingxuan feel extremely terrified.
