Chapter 243 Engagement

Back at the Rose Garden, Chen Afu took off the golden phoenix with spread wings and pearl hairpin given to him by Madam Chu San from his head. The golden hairpin is so beautiful. It is as big as a small sparrow. Its wings are as thin as wings. It keeps shaking when it moves slightly. It has a few beads that are pink and white and round, as big as the pad of the index finger.

The jade bracelet looked at it and said, "Ah, this hairpin is so beautiful. It was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"How do you say it?" Chen Afu asked.

Jade Bracelet pointed to a barely visible word on the hairpin and said, "Miss Chen, please look here. This is the word '内'."

Chen Afu saw it, and it was true. He added, "It turns out that Mrs. Chu San is the princess. Seeing that she has a kind attitude and a cheerful person, she is an easy person to get along with."

Yuhuan and Yourong Yan said, "Yes, my third wife is the most charitable person. She is even very kind to servants like us. However, if there are people who displease her..." It felt like she was talking about the master, or The third lady who was talking fiercely was so frightened that she quickly stopped talking and her face turned red.

In the evening, I heard that the men in the front yard were having a very pleasant conversation. Chen Shiying happily accepted Mr. Fu's proposal. The next day, Chen Shiying was still on leave and received the official media invited by the Chu family to come to propose marriage. Then, the two families merged into each other, which was a match made in heaven. Then, because the two of them are not too young, they decided to get married on February 10th next year.

Chen Shiying also told Chen Afu that the Chen family would not keep any of the betrothal gift from the Chu family and would send it to her as a dowry. In addition, they would ask the Jiang family to prepare a generous dowry for her... and agreed that they would still be married in Chen next year. Get married in the house.

These days, Chen Shiying and Jiang Shi are busy with Chen Afu. Chen Afu stays in Qiangweiyuan with nothing to do, so he makes snacks to pass the time, and gives them to the couple, one brother and two sisters every day.

It was April 23rd when Chen Afu left Chen Mansion. Before leaving the house, she went to Shouhengyuan to visit the old woman.

She came to the old lady's room. The old lady's eyes and mouth were crooked, and she was leaning on the bedside. Seeing her coming, he cursed vaguely, "Damn girl, what are you doing here? Get out! Get out!"

Chen Afu walked to the old lady's bedside with a smile and said softly, "I'll leave right away, and I don't want to look at you again. I just came to tell you that my marriage was not taken away by others. I have already told you that Mr. Chu is engaged, and we will get married in February next year. From now on, I will be the young mistress of the Hou Mansion, and I will enjoy great blessings, and I will make you an old bastard so angry..."

The old lady was so angry that she kept shouting vaguely, "Get out! Get out! Let her get out..."

At first, a woman who was serving in the room lowered her eyebrows and pretended not to hear anything. But when she saw that the old lady was shaking with anger, she was afraid that she would be mad. He had no choice but to step forward and persuade her, "Girl, if the old lady gets angry, it won't be good for the girl."

Chen Afu smiled at the old lady again and said, "Don't worry, they say that the disaster will last for thousands of years, you won't die so early. I also hope you can live well and see how good my life will be in the future. And my mother in the country , her life will definitely get better and better. We have never done anything bad, and we are not afraid of evil spirits coming to our door. Unlike you, you will get flustered when something happens. Old lady, please live well and don't die so early. You will have a good life. Still waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned around and left. She was already walking in the yard, and she could still hear the old lady's vicious curses coming from the window.

She looked up at the sky. It was bright blue and the sun was shining brightly. She took another deep breath, went to the main courtyard, and kowtowed to Chen Shiying and Jiang.

Chen Shiying said reluctantly, "Fu'er, remember, this is also your home. Come and stay here more often. Dad, your mother, and your younger brothers and sisters all miss you."

Jiang also said, "Yes, Fu'er should come back to see us more often, especially your father. He couldn't sleep most of the night yesterday and he couldn't bear to leave you."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Okay. From now on, when my father and mother have time, they will also take their younger brothers and sisters to play in Fuyuan in the countryside. Although the countryside is simple, it has a unique flavor if you stay there for a few days occasionally."

After getting up, he said goodbye to Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia, and was sent to Chen Shi's house by Chen Yulan.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Afu's mood was as exciting as the country wind, relaxed, comfortable and unrestrained.

Although Old Mrs. Chen is ill and unable to move for the time being and cannot do any bad things, and Tang and Chen Yuhui were sent away, she is still not used to and does not like staying in Chen's house. She missed Dabao, Wang, Chen Ming, Alu, Miss Chu, Qiqi, Huihui, Zhuifeng, Chu Lingxuan, and the vastness of the countryside.

It was still Uncle Qing who drove the carriage, and Wang Guard escorted him on horseback, heading directly to Chen Shi's house. Chen Afu took Chen Yulan and Qiuyue in this car, and Mrs. Xu returned to Chu Mansion with the silver and jade bracelets.

As soon as the carriage reached the alley entrance of Chen Shi's house, Chen Afu heard the shouts of Qiqi and Huihui.

Chen Afu happily opened the car curtain, and Qiqi and Huihui suddenly got in. They fluttered their wings and arched in Chen Afu's arms, shouting, "Mother, mother, I miss you, woo woo woo..." "The cry was miserable. Dabao must have been crying like this these days.

Chen Afu felt sad and happy at the same time. He hugged each of them with one hand and said, "Okay, okay, mother is back."

Chen Yulan opened her mouth wide, watching this incredible scene.

At this time, another howling sound that sounded like a dog but not a dog was heard. Qingbo said "ouch" a few times and slowed down the car. A huge dog suddenly got into the car, scaring Qiuyue and Chen Yulan into barking.

Zhuifeng stood up and threw himself into Chen Afu's arms, pushing Qiqi and Huihui aside. He stretched out his tongue to lick Chen Afu's face and neck, humming and humming, and was so excited that tears came out.

Chen Afu rubbed his head and laughed, "Oh, baby, mother misses you too, stop crying."

Qiqi and Huihui, who were pushed aside, were unhappy. They stood on Zhuifeng's back and pecked him with their mouths, cursing, "Hate, hate, get out of the way..."

The three of them made a fuss, and the carriage arrived in front of Chen Shi's house. Chen Afu was entangled by a dog and two birds and got off the carriage. He saw Dabao and a group of people waiting at the door.

Dabao saw his mother, grinned and howled again, "Mother, woo woo woo..."

Chen Afu went over and hugged him, and tears also flowed out. He said, "Good son, don't cry, mother is back, mother misses you too, miss you very much..."

He also comforted Wang Shi and Chen Ming, who had red eyes.

Everyone entered the house, and Chen Afu introduced Chen Yulan to them.

Chen Yulan had received instructions from Chen Shiying and Jiang, and came to Chen Ming, bowed and said, "Nephew Yulan, meet your uncle."

Chen Ming was a little confused, and said quickly, "Oh, oh, good child."

Chen Yulan came to Wang again, knelt down and kowtowed to her three times, saying, "Nephew Yulan, meet your aunt. I wish your aunt good health and all the best."
