Chapter 299: Getting Married

When Dabao came out of the bedroom, he saw his mother sitting on the bed, doing needlework, making clothes for him.

He came to Chen Afu, squeezed into her arms, and climbed onto her legs to sit down. His little face was red from sleep, and his eyes were still a little swollen.

Chen Afu put down his needlework, pretended not to notice that he had cried, and hugged him in his arms and rocked him slowly. After a while, he felt his little body gradually soften, and then he said, "Son, mother has no choice but to come and discuss with you. Can you help mother come up with an idea?"

Being gently rocked by his mother, Dabao felt very comfortable, a bit like sitting on the little wooden horse at Xiao Shitou's house. Asked, "What's the problem with mother?"

Chen Afu said, "This time your father and I are going to the capital, and we can't take you and your sister with us. Mother knows that you are sensible, so I told you first, but I didn't dare to tell your sister because I was afraid that she would cry. How should I tell her? Mother is in a dilemma."

It's not that they can't take the little girl with them to the capital this time, but she and Chu Lingxuan thought that since they didn't take Dabao, it would be better not to take Chu Hanyan with them, so that the two children would be treated equally. Otherwise, they would say that they would be good to Dabao, but they would treat him differently in practice, fearing that he would be suspicious and think that biological and adopted children are different.

Chen Dabao thought, if you are in trouble, don't go.

Although he thought so, he was not stupid enough to say it out loud, because he knew clearly that it was impossible. Mother was going to marry Father Chu, and they were going to the capital to get married, which no one could change.

However, he was a little proud that mother could treat him as an adult and discuss such an important matter with him.

He puffed out his chest and said, "My sister is a girl, so it's inevitable that she's a little bit pampered." He then said against his will, "Don't worry, mother, I'll help you persuade your sister."

Seeing that he didn't mean what he said, Chen Afu lowered his head and kissed his little face, praising him, "Brother is different. He knows how to help mother solve problems and also knows how to take care of his sister."

After Chu Hanyan woke up, Chen Afu and Chen Dabao went to the upper room together and told her about it. As expected, as soon as they finished talking, the little girl opened her mouth and burst into tears. She cried and hiccuped, and didn't listen to any explanation at all.

Seeing her reaction so intense, Chen Dabao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and didn't care about his own sadness, and kept persuading his sister. After persuading, even he himself thought that mother and father Chu should not take them with them when they went to the capital. But it was useless to persuade for a long time, the little girl still cried and refused to be punished.

Chen Afu reminded in a low voice, "After mother comes back, what should I call her?"

Dabao reacted immediately. His sister once told him that what she wanted most was to call her mother mother. He immediately said to the little girl in a loud voice, "Sister, don't cry first. Listen to me. When my mother comes back from the capital, you can call her mother mother, not auntie."

The little girl stopped crying and asked with tearful eyes, "Really? When auntie comes back, I can call her mother mother?"

Dabao nodded vigorously and said, "It's true. I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe it, ask my mother."

The little girl is even more distressing.

Chen Afu wiped her tears and said, "It's true. When I come back, not only will I call my mother mother, but Dabao and I will also live in Tangyuan. We will truly become a family."

This is the scene that Daddy often told her, and the little girl has dreamed of it. She was no longer sad. She smiled with tears in her eyes, and pulled Chen Afu's clothes and said, "Sister and brother are both good. Auntie, please come back soon. Sister really wants to call Auntie mother soon." She wished that Auntie would go to the capital now and come back tomorrow.

Dabao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He really did his job and finally coaxed his sister. Chen Afu gave him a thumbs up again and whispered, "Dabao is really capable. He grasped the weakness of his sister and convinced her in one go."

Yes. Dabao also felt that he was very capable. He managed to do something that was so difficult for his mother. He unconsciously straightened his chest again.

Finally, the work of the two little brats was done.

Seeing the two of them squeezed together to play with toys, Chen Afu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the big red boxes in the hall. They were filled with clothes and things she was going to wear to the capital. Everything was ready, and it was time to set off tomorrow.

In the evening, Abbot Liaochen returned to Tangyuan. She had a vegetarian meal in Tangyuan, and asked someone to invite Chen Afu to come, and also to bring Chu Hanyan back. She was afraid that her granddaughter would be sad, so she would stay in Tangyuan for a few days.

She put a pair of emerald green jade bracelets on Chen Afu, and said with a smile, "This was given by Xuan'er's grandmother when I got married. Even though I became a nun, I didn't return it to the Chu family, thinking of giving it to Xuan'er's daughter-in-law in the future..."

Chen Afu bowed his head to thank her, and the two talked for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

When she returned to Fuyuan, she saw that Old Lady Chen, Gao, and Chen Aju were all there. They came to add to her makeup. The old lady gave her a pair of golden cloves alone, and gave ten taels of silver on behalf of the eldest house. Gao gave a pair of embroidered shoes with red silk, and Chen Aju gave two embroidered silk handkerchiefs.

Then, Luo Da Niang and Wei, Hu Lao Wu's wife and daughter, and Wu Mujiang's two daughters-in-law came one after another, and they also came to add to the dowry.

The Luo family sent two pieces of nine-thread soft smoke silk and a small double-sided embroidered screen. The Hu family sent ten taels of silver, and the Wu family sent two pieces of silk and a pair of small red lacquer carved tables.

Only these families knew that Chen Afu was going to the capital to get married tomorrow, so they all came to add to the dowry.

Regardless of whether he could use the things they sent, Chen Afu appreciated them and expressed his gratitude.

At night, Dabao refused to leave the upper room, saying that he wanted to sleep with his mother for one night. This request was not excessive, so Chen Afu agreed.

But being hugged tightly by the little brat made her sweat. If she pushed him away, he would stick to her again.

At noon the next day, Chen Afu handed Dabao, who had been hanging on her, to Wang, got on the carriage, waved goodbye to Chen Ming, Wang, Alu, and Dabao who was crying, and drove to Dingzhou Prefecture.

When they arrived in Dingzhou Prefecture, they went straight to Chen Mansion.

Chen Afu would stay in Chen Mansion for one night, and take a boat to Tong County in the suburbs of Beijing early tomorrow morning, and then take a carriage to Beijing.

She went directly to the main courtyard, and Jiang was very considerate and asked people to prepare lunch. After she had dinner, Jiang told her that the furniture had been delivered to the other courtyard in Beijing a few days ago. Jiang will take Chen Yulan, Chen Yuqing, and Chen Yuxia to accompany Chen Afu to the Beijing Villa to get married. Chen Shiying will not rush there until Chen Afu gets married...

Before Chen Afu returned to the Rose Courtyard, Jiang handed the dowry list to Chen Afu. Looking at the thick pile of dowry lists, Chen Afu smacked his lips.

Thank you Diudiu Jianjian for the 10,000 starting coins, thank you very much! Qingquan will add more chapters for you, but it will take a few days. In recent days, Wenwen’s subscriptions have dropped sharply. Qingquan is very sad and very nervous. I don’t know what’s going on. Dear friends, writing is not easy. Qingquan is not in good health, but he still insists on writing, which is even more difficult. Please subscribe to the genuine version and give Qingquan some motivation. . .
