Chapter 286 Taking All the Benefits
Grandma Luo Si told Chen Afu that she would also go to Yingxue Temple to visit Abbot Chen, and then live in Tangyuan.
Chen Afu smiled again and said something to welcome them to Fuyuan.
The Jiang family and others returned to the Chen Mansion, and not long after, Chen Shi and his family came to the Chen Mansion to see Chen Afu.
Chen Shi, Zhang Shi, Chen Aman, and Chen Atang all came, and they brought some gifts to Chen Afu, Mrs. Chen, the first and second bedrooms.
"I know you are going back tomorrow, so I came over quickly to see you." Chen Shi smiled.
Mrs. Zhang said, "It would be great if Ah Fu could stay a few more days, and also go to the third aunt's house to play for a day."
Chen Afu said with a smile, "I also want to go to my third uncle's house, but I just miss Dabao and am anxious to go home. When my third uncle and his family return to the countryside during the Chinese New Year, we can get together more."
Mrs. Zhang happily said to Chen Afu, "Last month, I missed Ayu, so I took Aman to the capital to see him. It happened that Mrs. Yang also went to the capital with Uncle Yang's children. Those two children, It’s so painful. I heard that Aman is your sister, so I fell in love with Aman and came to play with Aman every day..."
Yang Mingyuan bought a house in the capital. More than two months ago, he sent someone to take his mother and Yang Chao and Yang Qian to live together in the capital. Dabao's leg had just been injured at that time, so Chen Afu didn't pick up the little brother and sister to play with, but sent someone to see Cheng Yi off in the county town.
Mrs. Zhang whispered again, "Third aunt thinks that Uncle Yang is really good. He has a big business and is rich, but he has no airs at all. He not only supports my Ayu, but is also good to me and Aman. We two mothers We went, but he didn’t let us stay in an inn, saying it was inconvenient for women to stay in an inn. Instead, he let us stay in a small courtyard of his house..."
Chen Afu looked at Zhang and Chen Shi, and then at Chen Aman who was hiding away with a red face. It seemed that they all fell in love with Yang Mingyuan.
These two people make a good pair. One is his friend and business partner, and the other is his cousin. Both of them have very good characters.
Although Yang Mingyuan's family is rich, Chen Aman is his cousin, and the family is gradually getting better, and his status is worthy of him. Moreover, Aman is simple and kind, and will definitely be kind to the two little brothers and sisters.
However, the age difference between the two people is quite large. Yang Mingyuan is already twenty-six years old, while Chen Aman is only fourteen years old. But as long as the two parties see eye to eye, these are not problems.
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Boss Yang is indeed good. He has a big business, is capable, has a long-term vision, and is kind. The family is also simple. Although his ex-wife left behind a pair of children, these two children were well educated, and his mother also Kind and easy to get along with.”
After listening to Chen Afu's words, Chen Shi and Zhang were both happy. Mrs. Zhang whispered again, "Afu, do you think Uncle Yang and my Aman can..."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good, but I didn't know the two parties involved..."
Chen Shi chuckled softly and said, "I hear what your third aunt said. Uncle Yang is very good to my family. If he had brought it up first, we would definitely agree. If he didn't want to bring it up, could you please ask Manager Luo to help talk it out?" My Aman is good, virtuous, gentle, and skillful. Not only is she supported by a capable eldest sister like you, but her two younger brothers, Atang and Alu, are also good at school and will take the exams in the future."
It turned out that I wanted Manager Luo to be the introducer, which was fine. It seems that Manager Luo will go to the Marquis Mansion to deliver New Year's gifts before the Chinese New Year, so let him ask about it then. It would be best if Yang Mingyuan agrees, but forget it if he disagrees.
Then he nodded and said, "Manager Luo won't be able to return to the capital until the end of the year. If Boss Yang doesn't say anything at that time, ask him to help ask."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you, Ah Fu."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Aman is my sister, and I also hope she can find a good home."
Jiang sent someone to stay with Chen Shi and others to eat in the house. Chen Shi took Atang to the front yard to eat with Chen Shiying, while Zhang and Aman stayed in the Rose Garden to eat.
When Chen Shi heard that he could have dinner with the prefect, his face was trembling with excitement.
Chen Afu also agreed with Chen Shiying and his wife.
After dinner, Chen Shi and his family were sent away, and Chen Shiying went to Hengshouyuan again. The servants said that the old lady had thrown her job away again.
Every time he walked to Hengshouyuan, he felt extremely heavy. He knew it was unfilial to have such thoughts, but he had no choice but to restrain himself.
Before he entered the yard, a woman guarding the door whispered to him, "The old lady asked the old slave to secretly go to the kitchen this afternoon to get two leek zygotes, and she ate them all."
Chen Shiying nodded and walked into the upper room. The old lady was reclining on the Arhat bed. There was only oil soup and rice grains on the Kang table, and the dishes on the floor had been cleaned by servants.
When she saw her son coming, she cursed with a crooked mouth, "I asked that damn girl to come to the bedside to set the rules, why didn't you let her come? She has been here for so many days, and even grandma didn't even come to see you. You and Jiang are just That’s how you taught her?”
Chen Shiying waved his hand, and all the servants in the room retreated. He sat on the chair next to him and said, "Mom, you don't want to see Fu'er, so why do you have to let her come to you and be an eyesore? I don't let her come because I'm afraid that she won't understand the rules and will bump into you and make you angry."
"If that damn girl dares to hit me, you teach her a lesson. She's a bitch, so beat her until she has teeth all over the floor to see if she still dares to hit me. After all, you still can't bear to touch her. You treat me as my mother. I don’t know, you are still thinking about that bitch Wang Juanniang,” the old lady said angrily.
Chen Shiying's face turned red and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I already have several children, and my sister has married another husband. Why do you still say such ugly things?"
The old lady snorted coldly, "Calling her sister, sister, what kind of sister is she to you? I only gave birth to you, not that shameless bitch."
Chen Shiying advised, "Okay, okay, I don't have any sisters, let's not talk about them. Mother, eat more, don't starve yourself."
When the old lady heard this, she burst into tears, "Just starve to death, what's the point of living if you live such a miserable life? I worked hard to offer you up, and everything I did was for your sake. I married you the daughter of an official as your principal wife, and the daughter of a merchant as your concubine. Someone found you a good position, and there was money for you to pay tribute. Otherwise, how could you, a poor scholar, When he was a teenager, he went to Jiangnan to be a county magistrate, then a deputy magistrate, and then a fifth-rank prefect. He had a smooth career all the way, and in his early thirties, he became a fourth-rank prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture, a place full of wealth. I heard that the top scholar in your subject is now only a fifth-rank official, three levels lower than you, and he is so poor that he has to sell his land to buy a good house. If you had married Wang Juanniang, would you have been promoted so quickly? Would you have lived so comfortably? Maybe you would not even be as good as that poor top scholar. Now, you have an official position, money, children, and even two concubines. You have taken all the benefits, but you still blame me for sending Wang Juanniang away..."
