Shopkeeper Luo also tore off five feet and said that he would make ten dolls and use the rest to make clothes for her. He also thanked Chen Afu for helping his sister.
Before leaving, Chen Ahfu wanted to buy five pairs of plum blossom buttons, saying that they were for his little cousin. Shopkeeper Luo smiled and asked the waiter to take five pairs of the cheapest plum blossom buttons, saying that they were for her as a gift.
Chen Afu was interested in another slightly more expensive one. Seeing what Shopkeeper Luo said, he had no choice but to accept it.
The group went to Chen Shi's house in the Chu Mansion carriage, which was much faster. Chen Afu and his mother sat in the carriage, while Manager Luo sat outside with the coachman.
On the way, Manager Luo said that her sister loved those swallow dolls very much, especially the extra-large one, and she would hug it even when she slept. It was a pity that it was thrown away by the servants accidentally, causing her sister to cry for several days, and her health was not very good...
What he didn't say was that Chu Hanyan's eyes hardly moved before, but after returning from Tangyuan, they occasionally moved with the doll. Not only did she say "the bird is smiling", "the bird is flying", but sometimes she even said "where is Dabao". Although she didn't say it fluently, it was the only thing she said besides "Daddy", "Grandma" and "Great Grandpa". His own uncle was extremely happy, even excited.
However, after the Big Swallow doll was thrown away by Mrs. Xu, Sister was not only sick for a few days, but also recovered. The master was so angry that he had Mrs. Xu beaten to death and replaced a new group of people to serve Sister. His own daughter-in-law, Wei, was also temporarily recruited to serve in the mansion.
He briefly introduced the situation of the Chu Mansion. Only his uncle Chu Lingxuan and his sister Chu Hanyan were in the Dingzhou Chu Mansion, and the rest of the Chu family were in the capital. He added proudly, "My uncle is only 23 years old, and he is already a lieutenant general. He is the youngest military officer above the third rank in our Dashun Dynasty."
Dabao was very supportive, his eyes widened and he said, "Oh, Lord Lieutenant General, you are such a high-ranking official."
His exaggerated appearance made Manager Luo and the groom Qingbo laugh.
Chen Ahfu thought to himself that it was remarkable that she could be promoted to the third rank at such a young age, even though she was a military officer. However, there were only two people in the mansion, father and daughter, and General Chu must be very busy with official duties. The little girl had that disease, and her relatives were often not around, so it was pitiful.
Chen Afu also took the opportunity to ask Manager Luo which dental clinic in the city was more trustworthy. She had saved some money and wanted to buy some land.
Manager Luo smiled and said, "Ms. Chen is indeed a capable woman. I will stay in the city for a few more days, waiting for my sister's birthday. When we have time, I will go with you to have a look. I know a good dental clinic and I also know the dental practitioners there."
Chen Ahfu was very happy and hurried to thank him. With him, he was no longer afraid of being cheated.
After returning to Chen Shi's house, Wang Shi proposed not to go to Chu's house. She was afraid of seeing the nobles. Moreover, she felt relieved that her daughter and grandson were accompanied by Luo Guanshi.
Chen Afu gave the plum blossom button to Chen Aman. The little girl was so happy that she covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, saying that she would make new clothes right away.
She went to the guest room again, closed the door, and entered the space.
When the busy Jin Yanzi heard that Chen Ahfu wanted to take some Yan Chen wood residue to make snacks for her pretty sister, she immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at her with her little green eyes. Ji Ji said, "Okay, I'll give it to you. Mommy, remember, I'm not only helping your pretty sister, but also you. Don't forget my kindness."
Chen Ahfu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The little thing was so naive, even a foolish dream. Not to mention how strict the class hierarchy in the world was, there was a wide and insurmountable gap between her and him. Even if they were of the same class, or even had feelings for each other, it was not possible for them to be together.
Fortunately, I am an adult soul, and I have been hurt by love, so I know how much I weigh. If I were really a 15-year-old girl, it would be troublesome for Jin Yanzi to arouse my feelings. How painful it is to have unrequited love.
I'll talk to it when I have time next time, and don't always say these irrelevant things.
The golden swallow used its small pointed beak to peck at the big piece of Yanchen wood residue. He also said that this thing is not soaked in water, but boiled directly, so only this little bit can be used so that the taste is not too strong.
Chen Afu raised his index finger to pick up the small yellow spot on the tip of its mouth and rubbed it on the white handkerchief. Then he wrapped the handkerchief and put it in his arms before leaving the bathroom.
Seeing that a "big shot" like Manager Luo had come to his house and it was already noon, Chen Shi quickly and enthusiastically invited him to dinner.
Manager Luo waved his hand and smiled, "No need, Miss Chen and Dabao will also come to our house for dinner."
Chen Afu and Dabao took Qiqi and Huihui and followed Manager Luo to the Chu Mansion in a carriage.
The Chu Mansion is located on Wanxiang Street, not far from West Street, and is home to wealthy families from Dingzhou City.
The carriage entered the Chu Mansion and went directly to the second gate. Several people got off the carriage and entered the hanging flower gate. It seemed that this steward Luo had a high status in the Chu family. He, a man from outside the family, also entered the second gate. The gatekeeper also tried to please him.
This is a four-story house, not very big, but extremely exquisite. There are pavilions, towers, jade trees and white flowers along the way, and corridors all around.
They came to the door of a small courtyard, and Manager Luo said, "This is Yuetaoxuan where my sister lives." After saying that, he walked in.
Chen Afu and Dabao followed him in.
The yard was full of flowers, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers. Chrysanthemums and hibiscus flowers of various colors were in full bloom. There were many bird cages hanging on the trees and under the eaves. The birds were jumping in the cages and singing cheerful songs.
In the middle of the yard, a tall man in a white moon-colored gown was holding a little girl diagonally. The midday sun shone directly down, casting a halo on the man, making his white skin look a little rouge. He didn't look at the people who came in, but continued to look at his dazed daughter in his arms. His slightly tough facial features were much softer than before, and his eyes were not as cold and arrogant, like a deep pool of autumn water, full of concern and care.
This man is none other than the “hero” Chu Lingxuan who once saved Chen Afu, and the little girl is none other than Chu Hanyan.
Perhaps it was because the "hero" that Chen Ahfu had just seen was too powerful, and he had always thought that he was cold, handsome, and majestic. Seeing him like this, he was still a little surprised.
At least, he is definitely a good father.
Chen Afu and Chen Dabao dared not to make a sound and followed behind Manager Luo. But Qiqi and Huihui did not know much, and when they saw the pretty sister, they flew out of the basket.
They were still afraid of Chu Lingxuan and didn't dare to stop on him, so they circled around the heads of the father and daughter. They kept shouting "Sister Yan'er" and "Pretty Sister", and their voices were exactly the same as Dabao's.
