Chapter 253 Stealing Fragrance
It’s already midnight when the return gift is ready.
Chen Afu had just finished washing and was about to take a rest when he saw Golden Swallow, who had not seen him for a day, come in through the window. He asked quietly, "You have been wild all day, where did you go?"
Jin Yanzi disappeared suddenly, not even his followers Qiqi and Huihui.
Golden Swallow fluttered its wings, dropped two small copper tubes in her hands, and chirped, "Let's go to space to talk."
Chen Afu got up and went to the clean room. After closing the door, he entered the space again.
Jin Yanzi said, "I followed the Seventh Prince to Lingyin Temple to see the excitement. The Seventh Prince asked Monk Gui Ling to see if the three-color ball plant was real. Monk Gui Ling said it was real, so the Seventh Prince asked him Prescribe medicine for yourself. Monk Gui Ling said that the treatment is okay, but the seventh prince must swear to God that he will be clean and respect himself in the future, he will not rape women, and he will not violate the wishes of women. He must also do five-year-old marriages within three years. It took twenty-five good deeds to treat him. The seventh prince suppressed his blush, but still swore..."
Chen Afu was very happy after hearing this and said, "Monk Gui Ling has done a good job. We really can't let that guy harm other girls casually anymore. And those twenty-five good things, I don't know what he will do."
Jin Yanzi said bitterly, "After watching the excitement, I went to visit that stupid old bald donkey again. Mommy, we were all deceived by that old bald donkey. Green bird's nest is indeed used to make medicine. I smelled that pill , which contained green bird's nests, but there were no agarwood leaves at all. All the leaves that Old Bald Donkey asked for were used to make incense. It was really abominable that when people got angry, they stole all the incense he made. The remaining half of the leaves were eaten by others, and the smelly cake was put into his tea bowl. "
A pair of small mung bean eyes looked at Chen Afu with a look like praise me now and see if I've even taken revenge.
Chen Afu opened the copper pipes. There were five sticks of green leaf agarwood in one copper pipe and four sticks in the other. Then he asked, "Didn't the old monk notice you when you went?"
Jin Yanzi chirped, "The old bald donkey may be sleepy. He is sleeping on the Arhat's bed. His mouth is as wide open as he is snoring loudly. They put the green leafy agarwood on the table and in the stove into copper tubes. Take back."
Again, the little thing is sometimes shrewd and naive, and sometimes it is naive and tight. How can it compare to the cunning old monk? A leaf as big as an eyeball needs to be fragrant for so long. I don’t know how many incense sticks I need to make with two and a half leaves. Moreover, the poop that the little thing poops can also be used as good fertilizer for flowers and plants.
However, he couldn't say these words, lest the little thing would feel unhappy and cause trouble to the old monk again. Although the old monk was a little greedy and not very sincere, he did have some real abilities, so he couldn't be offended. However, from now on, I must help the little thing guard the things in the space, and don't be fooled by the old monk.
Chen Afu laughed in amusement and said, "My dear, you are so capable. This time I will definitely make that old monk's liver ache with anger."
Golden Swallow became even more happy after hearing this, covering her mouth with her wings and laughing hard.
Chen Afu is also happy. Until now, she has not been willing to use Green Leaf Agarwood. This time there were nine more at once, and she could use them. She held the golden swallow to her mouth. The golden swallow knew that mommy was happy to kiss her, so she quickly took her wings away and let mommy kiss her.
When Chen Afu got out of the room, he broke off a small piece of incense and put it in the closet.
The next day, Chen Afu saw off Qingfeng and took Dabao to Luyuan.
Last night, Mrs. Chu San said that several of them would come to Luyuan this morning to formally visit their future in-laws. Chu Lingxuan will return to Dingzhou tomorrow. He has taken several days off and cannot delay any longer. Mrs. Chu San is also going back to the capital. She is worried about her husband and eldest son at home. Because Chu Lingzhi hasn't had enough fun, he will stay with Mr. Chu for a while longer.
Yesterday, Chen Afu sent someone to tell Chen Ming and Wang, asking them to prepare and treat the Chu family to a midday meal. Early this morning, she had sent Aunt Zeng and Xia Yue to Luyuan to help with cooking and decorating the house.
Luyuan was cleaned cleanly, and all the good ornaments were put out. A Lu didn't go to school either. He, Chen Ming, and Wang all wore satin clothes and looked very glamorous.
Chen Ming led Chen Afu into the west side room, pointed to a pile of things on the kang and said, "These are birthday gifts from the families who celebrated your birthday yesterday..." He also said which things were sent from which family.
These things include silver bracelets, gold lilacs, silk fabrics, vase ornaments and other items, which are valuable to country people, even to landlords or local people. Chen Afu kept the silk embroidered shoes made for her by Mrs. Gao and a satin dress made by Mrs. Wei, and left the rest to Chen Ming and Wang, saying that she had accepted the love of those people and would do the same when they had trouble in the future. Corresponding gifts will be prepared.
Around the end of the year, two young men, Alu and Dabao, stood at the entrance of Luyuan to greet the guests.
A Lu curiously asked Dabao in a low voice, "Have you really called Mr. Chu daddy and Mr. Chu, grandpa?"
Dabao sighed and said, "Yes, there is nothing I can do. My mother is going to get married, so I have to call her that."
Alu said with a smile, "When my sister officially marries into the Chu family, I can call you Mr. Chu's brother-in-law. Yesterday I went to school, and my classmates were all envious of you and me."
Dabao said nothing, thinking to himself, my mother is about to get married, what else is there to envy...
While the two were talking, they saw the Chu family walking towards them.
A Lu first shouted to the door, "The guests are here." He then straightened his clothes, then helped Dabao pull up his clothes, and the two of them stepped forward to greet him.
All five members of the Chu family came. They were welcomed into the hall, and the old marquis and Mrs. Chu were invited to take seats. Mrs. Chu did not sit down, but urged Chen Ming to sit with the old marquis on both sides of the eight-immortal table. The two families said some appropriate words, and Chen Ming was so nervous that he could not speak clearly. However, the old marquis and Mrs. Chu were both talkative, so there was no dull atmosphere. Gradually, Chen Ming and Wang were more relaxed.
Mrs. Chu gave A Lu a jade pendant as a gift, and Wang gave Chu Lingzhi a purse she made herself.
Chu Lingxuan didn't talk much, and often glanced at Chen Afu when others were talking, pursing his lips and smiling.
Several children were teasing Qiqi, Huihui, Zhuifeng, and Wangcai at the door of the side room.
Dabao whispered to Chu Hanyan, "Look at your daddy, he always peeks at my mom."
Chu Hanyan looked up and asked innocently, "Isn't my daddy your daddy? What kind of peek is considered peeking?"
Dabao was stunned by the question, and he couldn't explain this question. Well, if he couldn't explain it, he would just lower his head to play with the animals and stop looking at the adults.
At the dinner table, Lord Chu invited Chen Ming's family of three and Chen Afu's mother and son to Tangyuan for dinner. Chu Lingxuan and Mrs. Chu San would leave early tomorrow morning. Chen Ming and others happily accepted the invitation.
