Chapter 370 Falling Into the Water
Jiang was very embarrassed. Here, her man's status was considered low, so she would not say much on such occasions. What's more, she still wants to get married to the He family. But Mrs. He targeted Chen Afu so much that she had to say something. Now she and Chen Afu are one, and they both prosper and suffer.
She could only say, "Fu'er is my daughter. Our Chen family has a low background and really has nothing to show off." Then she smiled and said to the old lady, "I'm not boasting. My Fu'er has always been well-behaved and sensible. She treats her husband's ex-wife The children left behind will be treated like their own daughters. Not only is my son-in-law satisfied with my son-in-law, but even my father-in-law praises my son-in-law as a virtuous grandson-in-law who is hard to find."
Mrs. Fu smiled at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Yes, I have also heard from my son that General Chu, Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu are all very satisfied with this little daughter-in-law and say she is smart. , and virtuous. This is all Mrs. Chen’s good teaching.” He turned to Mrs. He and said with a smile, “How old is Mrs. Chu? She has not experienced such things. Of course, I don’t know the bitterness that we girls have experienced.”
This old lady not only knows how to make friends, but also can secretly exchange ideas. No wonder Master Fu was attracted by the Chu family, Wang family, and Sun family representing the Ninth Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince at the same time, and he was able to have both sides, and no one in his family was offended.
After she said this, neither Mr. Jiang nor Mrs. He could say anything else.
At this time, Grandma Fu came with Fu Lingshan, the eldest sister of the Fu family.
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Mrs. Chu, go play with those little wives and girls, and then go see the bride's dowry. You will be very bored when you are with us old ladies."
Chen Afu wanted to leave a long time ago, so he got up, smiled with the ladies, and led Chu Hanyan, Grandma Fu and her daughter outside.
Seeing that Chen Afu was very articulate, these ladies no longer dared to look down upon her. They all smiled at her and told her to take care of herself.
Mrs. Jiang stood up and walked to Chen Afu and whispered, "Girl Hui is making a fuss too, please stay away from her." She also asked Aunt Li and Xia Yue to serve their master well.
Chen Afu nodded.
Mrs. Qin pulled up a beautiful woman in her twenties and a little girl about ten years old. She introduced the lady, "This is General Liu's wife."
This is Liu Rang's wife, Mrs. Du. Liu Rang is a guerrilla general. Like Chu Lingxuan, he comes from a noble family and is young and promising. He is twenty-six years old this year and is already a fourth-grade military attache. In Dingzhou Prefecture, the people who had the best relationship with Chu Lingxuan were Fu Shoumin, the eldest son of General Fu, and Liu Rang and Qin Jian.
Chen Afu and Mrs. Liu smiled and greeted each other.
Mrs. Qin introduced the little girl again, "This is my eldest daughter, her name is Qin Lan, Sister Lan."
Sister Lan bent her knees to bless Chen Afu again and shouted, "Auntie."
Chen Afu took Sister Lan's hand and praised her a few words, while Xia Yue behind her presented a purse filled with pearl flowers.
Sister Lan was older, so she went over to hold Chu Hanyan in one hand and Fu Lingshan in the other. Qin Lan and Fu Lingshan talked more, but Chu Hanyan could occasionally say a few words. After every sentence, the little girl would turn to look at Chen Afu, and when she saw Chen Afu's encouraging smile, she would happily turn her head back.
The group of people walked towards Mr. Fu's yard.
Even though Chen Afu was pregnant, she was still the most beautiful among all the female guests. They walked by and attracted many envious eyes.
There were also men looking at the dowry in Mr. Fu's yard. The guarding of men and women in this dynasty was not too strict.
The dowry was laid out all over the yard, which was very spectacular, but it was still inferior to Chen Afu's dowry in the capital.
Chen Afu felt very grateful to Jiang, not only for the dowry measured in money, but also for her protection for him all the time, including just now. Jiang wanted to marry the He family, but still chose to stand on the same front as Chen Afu.
This woman is not only smart, but also kind and tolerant.
Just as Chen Afu was thinking, a voice came, "Big sister."
She looked back and saw that it was Chen Yuqing who was holding Chen Yuxia's hand.
Chen Afu introduced these two sisters to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qin. Grandma Fu knew them well.
Chen Yuqing is now very superstitious about Chen Afu. The clothes she was wearing were given to her by Chen Afu, a rose-red flowered jacket with a row of large black pipa buttons in front. The makeup was also done according to the method taught by Chen Afu before, highlighting a pair of smiling eyes, with a very cute look.
"Sister, you're pregnant and you're here to join in the fun, so don't get bumped..." It was Chen Yuhui who came and felt that some things should not be said in public, so he quickly shut up.
Chen Afu hadn't seen her for a long time. I knew she wanted to say "It slipped", but she held back.
She was wearing a peach red floral-breasted jacket and a moon-white pleated skirt.
Jiang didn't want to take Chen Yuhui to Fu's house today, and didn't tell her. I don’t know how she knew it. When Jiang, mother and daughter went to the front yard to meet Chen Shiying, Chen Yuhui also ran to the front yard.
When Chen Shiying saw this girl dressed and put on makeup, her eyes were filled with prayers, and she couldn't bear to send her back again. He told her not to get into trouble and asked Jiang to take her with her and keep an eye on her.
Jiang actually disagreed with bringing Chen Yuhui along. She felt that since Aunt Tang's death, Chen Yuhui seemed to be possessed by a demon, not normal, and he didn't know what kind of trouble she would get into. But her husband had spoken and had no choice but to take her with him, and sent a woman to keep an eye on her.
As soon as Chen Yuhui appeared, Grandma Li and Xia Yue were on high alert and did not allow her to come within three meters of Chen Afu.
Chen Afu felt disgusted when he saw Chen Yuhui, so he said goodbye to Chen Yuqing and left with Grandma Fu and others.
Chen Yuqing was also afraid that Chen Yuhui would be crazy and do something bad, so she kept grabbing Chen Yuhui and not allowing her to chase Chen Afu.
After lunch, Chu Hanyan and Fu Lingshan felt a little sleepy. Chen Afu was also tired and didn't like watching plays, so Grandma Fu asked the maid to take them and Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Liu to her yard to rest. Qin Lan wanted to go boating, so she asked the maid to take her to the lake to play boating. Grandma Fu wanted to serve the guests and didn't visit them in person.
Chu Hanyan and Fu Lingshan went to sleep in the house, and the adults drank tea and chatted in the corridor.
It was early autumn now. Although it was still hot under the sun, it was still cool in the shade. It was very comfortable when the breeze blew.
These people were all family members of military generals. They were cheerful and about the same age. They got along very well and giggled from time to time. Several people also agreed that when Chen Afu returned to his hometown in the future, they would go to the countryside to play.
As they were talking, they heard a commotion outside. A maid ran in and whispered something to the maids in the yard. They all looked very panicked.
Mrs. Qin asked, "What happened?"
The maid said, "I heard a girl fell into the water."
