Chapter 214 Another Creature
After Dabao reminded him, Chu Lingxuan looked away, suppressed the regret in his heart, and started eating with chopsticks. Her craftsmanship was so good, and she could make the wontons so delicious that he ate them without even a green onion left.
Chu Hanyan pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Dad, are the wontons made by auntie delicious?"
She looked proud as if she had made the wontons.
Chu Hanxuan nodded, rinsed his mouth again, and led the two children to the yard.
Chen Afu had already trimmed the rose branches and inserted them into the azure-glazed vase. She held the vase and admired the colorful clouds with satisfaction. The flower goblet is simple and elegant, with fragrant and gorgeous roses inserted to complement each other.
She was cleaning up the warehouse this afternoon and found this plain, solid-color flower vase among several brightly colored vases. It was as ice-like as jade and unique. She thought it would look great with gorgeous roses, so she took it out.
Nine out of ten things in the warehouse were sent by Chu Ling, and so was this flower goblet.
Chu Lingxuan came to her side and sat down on another small stool. He said to her, "Two days ago, I received a letter from my third uncle and brother Bian Guan. They searched everything and couldn't find Li Goucheng."
Although Chen Afu had made various preparations for his uncle Wang Cheng, he was still very sad when he heard the news. He said softly, "Then my uncle..."
Chu Lingxuan comforted him, "Don't be sad, Miss Afu. Now, the lack of news may be good news. Because they have also checked the death list, and there is no such person, which means that at least he did not die in the battle. They will continue to search, See if there are any missing links.”
Chen Afu felt relaxed again and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."
"Just thank you?" Chu Lingxuan sounded a little playful.
"Ah... How do you want to thank Mr. Chu?" Chen Afu was a little confused. His daughter stayed at his house for food and accommodation every day, and he often came over to eat and drink. Could it be that he hadn't thanked her enough?
Chu Lingxuan pursed his lips and said, "It's time to change the season. Miss Ah Fu, please make me a summer dress." After saying this, he blushed a little.
Chen Afu was stunned, not expecting that he would make this request. This seems unreasonable, right?
Chu Lingxuan gave her an inquiring look and asked, "Why, no?"
"Oh, no." Chen Afu said quickly, "I'm afraid my craftsmanship is rough and Mr. Chu will dislike it."
When Chu Lingxuan heard this, she thought she agreed and burst into laughter. He said, "Miss Ah Fu, you are too modest. I see that the clothes you made for Yan'er are more skillful than yours. My mother also praised you in the same way. She likes you very much...your craftsmanship. You also If you know my mother's figure, you can make her a plain dress." After a pause, he said, "In a few days, my third aunt will go to the nunnery to see my mother, and she will also make a special trip to see you. My third aunt is very nice, don’t be nervous when you meet her.”
Then, he stood up and said to Dabao, "You have gone to school. Let's go. Uncle Chu wants to give you a test to see if you have made any progress."
When they were one and two children, they went to Dabao's study in the east chamber.
Tell her to calm down?
Chen Afu was a little stunned. He took the flower goblet to the west room of the upper room and placed the flower goblet on the high table. She sat on the brocade stool under the window, without lighting a lamp, and opened the window and looked out.
The sky is getting darker, and the red clouds in the west have all disappeared to the bottom of the mountain.
Xia Yue and Qiu Yue opened the birdcage on the porch, and Jin'er and about twenty other little birds got in. The rest of the birds were hidden among the branches and leaves of the trees. The yard suddenly became quiet, except for the occasional bird. Zhuifeng or Qiqi or Huihui screamed.
She saw the orange-lit window in the east wing, and there were two figures, one large and one small, in front of the window. First, the little man is writing, and then the figures of the adult and the little man overlap. It should be Chu Lingxuan teaching Dabao to write step by step.
Chen Afu was a person of two generations, so of course she could see what Chu Lingxuan meant. He had done so many things for her, and the passion in his eyes was definitely not just a little ambiguity between a superior and a subordinate.
It's true that he is an ancient male chauvinist, and he doesn't seem to understand a woman's thoughts very well, but he shows his love by asking her to make things for him and his mother. It seems like it's such an honor to be able to make things for them.
He also said that his third aunt would come to see her. Could it be that his third aunt came to see her as an elder?
However, as the daughter of a farmer and the illegitimate daughter of a prefect, how could she dare to reach out to him?
Liu Xudong in the previous life was far less advanced than Chu Lingxuan. His love was stronger than Chu Lingxuan's indifferent expression, but she was ruthlessly abandoned in the end...
She was still willing to be his subordinate and Miss Chu's teacher.
Although she also hopes from the bottom of her heart to have a man like Chu Lingxuan who is tough and willing to protect her to rely on. When she is tired, she can sleep peacefully without fear that someone will bully her or covet her.
However, this man is not only tough and willing to protect her, he is also handsome and of noble birth. This last advantage in the eyes of others is her most unworthy aura, which is so hot that it can burn her to death.
She was afraid that he would change his mind due to external force, or that like Liu Xudong, all love would be superficial...
She is full of confidence in almost everything, except for love, which she cannot understand thoroughly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky was already filled with bright stars, like the bright Milky Way lying quietly on the blue sky.
They are rightly matched, just like the Milky Way drawn by the Queen Mother with jade hairpins, completely separating the aloof Prince Charming and Cinderella.
Suddenly, she thought that there was another kind of creature in this era - one who could not be a wife but could be a concubine.
He wouldn't let herself be his kind of creature, would he? Thinking of this, she felt a chill.
Damn, if that happened, she would never see him again. Not even Miss Chu, since the little girl's illness had already healed.
But if she refused, she might lose this powerful backer.
Thinking of the vicious old lady Zhao, and Chen Shiying who only accepted his money and refused him to get close to her, Chen Ye and his mother who would never regard her as a relative no matter how much she gave, and all the unknowns, she really didn't want to lose this support.
The best way was to stop him from opening his mouth, and their relationship would return to the previous pure superior-subordinate relationship. But this possibility was very small.
Just as she was thinking, the figure on the window disappeared, and then the big and two children walked out of the east wing.
Dabao said excitedly in a loud voice, "Mom, Uncle Chu said that my studies are very advanced." Not hearing Chen Afu's voice, he shouted again, "Mom, Mom, where are you? Uncle Chu and Sister Yan'er are leaving, we should send them out."
How is this child smart? He is obviously very stupid.
Chen Afu was so angry that he had to walk out of the upper room.
They walked in front, and Dabao led Chen Afu and followed behind to walk out of the courtyard.
When Chu Lingxuan walked to the willow tree and stopped, he turned around and saw that the gate of Fuyuan was empty, without the two figures that made him stop and look back.
Thank you for your concern, Qingquan will take good care of his health. I will try my best to update in the near future, and it may not be possible to add more.
