When the maids and servants saw Chu Lingxuan and Manager Luo, they all knelt down to greet them. One maid said, "My sister just woke up, and Madam Wei is helping her get up."
Chu Lingxuan led Manager Luo into the upper room, stood in the middle of the hall, and looked toward the east room. The bright sunlight shone in through the lattice windows, shining on the bead curtain, making the crystal bead curtain colorful.
A strange woman's voice came from the other side of the beaded curtain. The voice was not crisp and pleasant, but rather low, soft, and slow, which made people feel at ease. It was the first time that Chu Lingxuan discovered that a woman's voice could be so pleasant even if it was low.
The voice spoke slowly to Chu Hanyan. The words were very ordinary, but the voice and tone were full of concern and casualness...
"...Oh, our little sister is so beautiful, wow, wow, wow, she is the most beautiful girl. No other children can compare to her, not even Jinbao or Dabao, they can compare to her..."
When Chen Ahfu mentioned Jinbao, Chu Hanyan's eyes rolled and she said slowly, "The bird—flew away."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "That bird is a little swallow. Aunt Chen gave it a nice and rustic name, Jinbao." He laughed happily a few times and said, "The name sounds a bit like a local rich man, right? Sister Yan thinks so too? Well, it's really smart. Haha, Jinbao will fly back tomorrow spring. Don't worry, it has a good memory. It will remember our home in Xiangluo Village and the beautiful Sister Yan. Does Sister Yan still remember its smile? Aunt Chen also likes its smile, it's sweet, just like Sister Yan..."
After Chu Hanyan woke up, she saw Chen Afu leading Dabao into the bedroom, and she actually stretched out her hands for Chen Afu to hold her. Chen Afu had no choice but to take her from Wei's arms, dress her, and comb her hair.
Chen Afu guessed that this child's sense of smell might be more sensitive than previously expected. He no longer had Yan Chenxiang on him, but she was still so close to him. Perhaps she smelled the Yan Chenxiang in the space. Only animals like Qiqi, Huihui, and Zhuifeng had this ability, but it turned out that she also had it.
It's still the same saying from the previous life, when God closes this door, he will open that window. Chu Hanyan's sense of smell is beyond the range of ordinary humans.
Chen Afu was combing her hair while chattering, not caring whether Chu Hanyan could understand him or not. Occasionally, he could make Yan Jie'er's eyes move and she would utter a word.
Chen Afu believes that the child's autism is not serious, but no one in the family often communicates with her. Her father has a cold temper, her grandmother is a quiet nun, and some servants have bad intentions, or servants who have no bad intentions dare not make noise in front of their masters. Staying in such a quiet environment, she became more and more lonely over time.
If it had been properly corrected since childhood, the symptoms would not be as severe as they are now. Poor child!
Chen Afu said to Wei, "In the future, Sister Luo should also talk to the people who serve Sister, and ask them to talk to Sister more and communicate more, and not let Sister's surroundings be too quiet, so that she can live in her own world. Only when her world becomes lively and full of vitality can she integrate into it and become smart. Sister Luo, believe me, Sister is a smart child, she can always feel the care and kindness of others..."
As soon as she said this, Chu Hanyan exclaimed "Ah" again and looked at her with dull eyes.
Chen Ahfu laughed again and said, "See, Aunt Chen was right, you are really a smart kid. You heard that Aunt Chen was praising you."
Dabao suddenly realized and said, "Mom, I finally know why Yan'er only looked at me and didn't talk to me. It turns out that she blamed me for not talking enough to her. But, my son is a man, how can I be as long-winded as my mother?"
After saying this, he still looked very embarrassed, which made Wei and Qiao'er laugh, and even Chu Hanyan's lips curled up.
Chen Ahfu laughed and said, "Mother is not nagging, she is chatting with Sister Yan. You are talking nonsense, even Sister Yan is laughing at you."
Sister Yan let out an “ah” again.
An inexplicable emotion flowed through Chu Lingxuan's heart. This was the only person who thought Yan Jie'er was a smart child, and the only person who treated Yan Jie'er as a normal child. Even himself, his mother, and his grandfather, who cared about Yan Jie'er the most, were disappointed and thought that she was just a stupid child, and maybe she would be like this for the rest of her life. They felt sorry for her and wanted to protect her, but there was no way to make her happy.
But this woman could make Sister Yan respond to her. Her son and the birds in her home could also attract Sister Yan's attention.
Perhaps, my daughter is really a smart child, but I have no way to make her world lively and lively, no way to make her integrate into this world and become smart...
The wife of the Chen family must let her treat Yan Jie'er willingly. Only when she is willing can she treat Yan Jie'er sincerely. The tenderness and vitality that she can give to Yan Jie'er, as well as the seemingly unintentional but wise communication and care, the voice that makes people feel at ease, even if it is casual with concern, are all what she and this family cannot give to Yan Jie'er.
Therefore, she must be willing to treat Sister Yan...
At this time, a maid came in and reported, "Master, the guests from the capital have arrived outside the city and will be at the mansion in about half an hour. Your steward said that seven masters from the mansion have come this time, and even the old marquis has come in person."
Chu Lingxuan said to Manager Luo, "Uncle Luo, you should handle that matter. Also, let my sister get ready as she will be meeting the elders in the capital later."
He looked at the beaded curtain dancing with sunlight and whispered a few words to Manager Luo.
Manager Luo bowed and said, "Yes."
Chu Lingxuan left Yuetaoxuan.
Only a few people in the east room realized that Mr. Chu and Manager Luo were in the living room.
Chen Afu led Chu Hanyan, who had already tidied herself up, out of the bedroom, and Dabao and others followed.
"Grandpa Luo." Dabao greeted first.
Qiqi and Huihui in the yard heard their little master's voice and immediately flew to the door and shouted. Dabao happily ran over and stroked their fur.
Wei realized that her father-in-law might have something to say to Chen Afu alone, so she came over, picked up Chu Hanchu and said, "Be good, sister. Look at Qiqi and Huihui. They are inviting you to go out and play."
Chu Hanyan slept well and was quite quiet. Wei carried her to the yard to see Dabao and the parrot.
Only Manager Luo and Chen Afu were left in the hall.
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Manager Luo, I have finished making the glutinous rice dates." What he meant was that their task had been completed, and there were guests in the mansion again, so they could go home, right?
Manager Luo smiled and took out two silver notes from his arms and handed them to Chen Ahfu, saying, "Madam Chen, this is the money our master paid for Shijinque."
