Chapter 290: Getting Lively

It was already the end of the hour of Hai when Dabao finished talking to Chen Afu. He did not go to bed, but went to the study to do the homework assigned by the teacher.

Today's work should be done today. This is a good habit. Looking at his swollen eyes and his unstoppable sobbing, Chen Afu felt heartbroken, but did not stop him.

She lowered her body to stop Qiqi and Huihui who were about to go over to make trouble, and said angrily, "You annoying little things, haven't you made enough trouble after making trouble for so long?" Then, the family gave two brain-destroying children.

These two little things came in when Dabao was crying bitterly. They stood on the table, watching the show, eating peanuts, and supporting Chen Dabao.

"Don't separate, don't separate, don't separate, don't separate."

"Sleep together, sleep together, sleep together, sleep together."

...

Chen Afu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Seeing that the two little guys were about to get angry again, Chen Afu said, "Don't make trouble anymore. Tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the county town to customize a foot ring for your family."

The two little guys didn't know what a foot ring was, but they intuitively felt that it should be a good thing. They were very happy to have won the benefits through their own efforts, and they whistled back to the house to rest.

Chen Afu sighed, dogs don't mind poor families, only dogs are the best friends of humans. Birds, cats, etc. are all pets and are pampered. And these smart "noblemen" are even more pampered to the sky.

It was already midnight when Dabao finished his homework, and he was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting. Qiuyue helped him wash up, and Chen Afu sat by his bed and held his little hand, watching him fall asleep.

Even after they fell asleep, he still muttered, "Mom, don't leave me, forever..."

Seeing him like this, Chen Afu was still a little sad.

Now, she finally understood why the relationship between a widowed mother and her only son was almost pathological, and they excluded everyone except them.

She was not a widow, but a woman and a son who had been living together closely were somewhat like the relationship between an orphan and a widow.

Moreover, Dabao knew clearly that he was a son he had picked up. In his eyes, Chen Afu was not only his mother, but also the only one who could support him in his happy life.

He was afraid that he would lose her from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Afu sighed, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, then stood up and put down the veil.

She walked out of the east wing, saw the bright moon in the sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief. The difficult battle was finally over.

After she went back to the house to wash, she flashed into the space again. Without Dabao's eyesore, it was easier for her to enter the space.

The golden swallow was casting the house with its long tail. Chen Afu looked around and didn't see Jin Bei, so he asked, "Where is Jin Bei, why don't you see it?"

The golden swallow stopped the work in his mouth and said, "I put it in the golden house, hoping that the green bird's nest can give it more spiritual energy." After that, he started to work again.

Chen Afu sat beside it and looked at it for a while. When he felt relaxed physically and mentally, he went back to bed to sleep.

The next day, she got up early. She wanted Dabao to see her first when he opened his eyes.

Dabao had a good dream all night. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother sitting beside him and smiling at her. He got up as usual, hugged Chen Afu and kissed him, saying, "Good morning, mother."

After saying that, he looked around. The bed had changed, the gauze curtain had changed, and the whole house was different. Then he remembered that he had come to the east wing.

Chen Afu saw the loneliness in his eyes, pretended not to see it, and put clothes on him.

It takes a process to get used to it.

After breakfast, Chen Afu sent him out of Fuyuan. A Lu happened to walk here and took him to Tangyuan. Behind them, Chu Xiaoniu followed.

At this time, Wang Laowu came over with a bucket on his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Miss, I want to go to Fuyuan to fetch a bucket of water."

Chen Afu guessed that he must have heard Chen Dabao making a fuss late at night. He nodded at him, meaning that he would fetch it.

Six days later, when Dabao was used to resting alone in the east wing, Tangyuan became lively again. Not only did the old Marquis Chu and his grandson come back, but also Abbot Lechen, Chu Hua and his husband Xie Ling, his son Heng Ge'er, Luo Siye Luo Yuanzhi, Luo Siye grandmother and his daughter Luo Ying, plus the guards and servants, a total of more than 40 people moved into Tangyuan.

After listening to Aunt Zeng's introduction, Chen Afu thoroughly understood these families.

Chu Hua's husband Xie Ling was the second son of the prince of Weiguo, and served as a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Guards. Although his official position was not high, his grandfather, Lord Xie, was a well-known figure in the Dashun Dynasty, and he was currently serving as the first-rank governor of the Left Army Governor's Office.

At that time, the Chu family was in trouble and could not get such a good marriage. It was because a few years ago, Xie Ling went to the border on official business, and the third master Chu invited him to play at home. He accidentally saw the beautiful Chu Hua and fell in love with her. After returning home, he insisted on marrying Chu Hua. Xie Guogong had no choice but to ask someone to act as a matchmaker and make this good thing happen.

Luo Zhiyuan is the son of the eldest master Luo. Because he did not pass the imperial examination, he was given a small official position of the seventh rank. Although the official position is small, it is a real vacancy. This time, he brought his wife and children to attend Chu Hanyan's birthday and visit his aunt, Abbot Liaochen. The eldest master Luo is Liaochen's biological brother, and now he is the governor of Jibei Province.

That's why Abbot Liaochen chose to become a monk in Honglin Mountain, not far from here. The highest local official here is her biological brother, and it is close to her dowry farm.

They arrived at Tangyuan before noon. In the afternoon, Chu Lingxuan sent someone to deliver a note, inviting Chen Ming's family and Chen Afu's mother and son to Tangyuan for dinner.

Because the Luo family and Xie Ling were outsiders after all, it was not easy to invite them to Fuyuan for dinner. So Chen Ming and Wang invited them to Luyuan for dinner in the name of Chen Afu's parents, and it had to be a vegetarian meal.

Chen Afu discussed the menu with Chen Ming and Wang, and asked Zeng Lao and Mu Aunt to go to the county town to buy ingredients. They also had to buy more things to serve as a courtesy when the guests left.

In the evening, Chen Afu, Wang and Chen Ming went to Tangyuan together. Tangyuan was not big, so they all went to Hetangyuan where the old man usually lived.

When Chen Afu saw Xie Ling for the first time, he was shocked. He was a man like an iron tower, but his facial features were still good. Although he looked rough, he was a gentleman, very patient with Chu Hua and Heng Ge'er, and he was a good husband at first glance.

Luo Zhiyuan, the fourth master of Luo, looked like a noble man, handsome and tall. I heard that he was a very romantic man with several concubines and maids. If it weren't for the powerful Grandma Luo Si, he might have made things even more outrageous.

When Master Luo Si saw Chen Afu, he was stunned. He heard that Chen Afu was good-looking, and he knew that Chen Shiying's daughter couldn't be bad-looking. But when he really met her, he felt that she was even more beautiful than he had imagined. No wonder the Seventh Prince chased her to the General's Mansion. He unconsciously looked at her twice more, and when he heard Chu Lingxuan cough, he quickly turned his eyes away.

Grandma Luo Si's face also became a little gloomy as she noticed her wife from the corner of her eye.
