Chapter 203 Ma

Chen Afu was shocked by so many things. These were not teaching equipment or consumables, and Yan'er could not use them alone.

No matter how generous the chairman is, he has no reason to give away so many things. She shook her head and refused, "Mr. Chu, I don't need so many things."

She was not willing to engage in a little ambiguity between superiors and subordinates. In that case, it is always the woman who suffers.

She couldn't afford Chu Lingxuan's overtures, as she had learned painful lessons from her previous life.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "It's rare for me to be at home. Sister and I will be here most of the time in the future. If my grandfather comes to Tangyuan in the future, maybe he will be here most of the time. Most of the things are useful to them. , the rest is my gift to Fuyuan. Ms. Chen has helped me and my family a lot. No amount of money can buy me such help. Why are you so polite?"

After saying that, he went to visit the yard by himself.

This courtyard is larger than Luyuan, and it is much more exquisite and gorgeous, with carved railings and painted buildings inside and outside. There are three main rooms with two wing rooms, three east and west wing rooms with two wing rooms, and four side rooms.

Two sweet-scented osmanthus trees and several bamboo poles were planted in the front yard, two gardenia trees were planted outside the upper corridor, and there were two narrow rows of lawns and potted flowers in front of the east and west wings. The space in the middle of the yard is relatively large and is a place for children to play.

Going to the backyard from the east wing, there are a few white magnolia trees planted in the right corner. Perhaps because they were just transplanted, there are not many flowers on the trees. Two small-leaf fig trees were transplanted behind the upper room on the left, and many incredible things were built in the open space in the middle. The ground was not paved with stones, but was filled with soft sand. Among those things, Chu Lingxuan only recognized the seesaw and the swing. That house didn't look like a house. What was it that stood so high? There are also some iron pipes standing at random heights like clothes drying poles, as well as large wooden balls of different colors, and small wooden ladders fixed in the ground... What is the use of these things?

When Dabao and Sister Yan saw Chu Lingxuan looking at those things in a daze, they became proud and ran to the small house.

They climbed up to the small house one after another, and Dabao slid down a smooth iron plate first. There is a straw mat below. If someone falls on the straw mat, not only will it not be broken, but the clothes will not be stained. Moreover, the girls are also watching below, just in case.

Then, Yan'er slid down again. She stood up and smiled at Chu Lingxuan and said, "Dad, this is a slide. It's so fun. I'm not afraid." Then, she looked like she was begging for praise.

Turns out that’s what it’s for.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "My girl can do it, good job."

Dabao asked again, "Uncle Chu, what about me?"

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "You are a man, you don't need to praise me."

After hearing this, Dabao climbed up the slide again and slid down with his head down. After getting up, he looked at Chu Lingxuan again.

Before Chu Lingxuan said anything, Yan'er looked at Dabao with admiration and said, "Dabao, you are so capable."

Dabao smiled until he received the compliment from Miss Chu.

Chu Lingxuan also gestured with his thumbs and said, "Not bad, good job."

Then, Luo Mingcheng slid down. Zhui Feng, who followed closely behind, also climbed up and slid down on his stomach, howling proudly twice.

Then, Qiqi and Huihuishang also flew up to the top and slid down. They slid down lying down. After coming down, he howled like he was chasing the wind.

Dabao also wanted to pull Wangcai, who was watching the fun, up the slide. Wangcai was unwilling and ran around the slide, with Dabao chasing after him. It made Yan'er and the others laugh even more.

Dabao failed to seize Wangcai and had to give up. Then he took Yan'er and Luo Mingcheng to play other things. Qiqi and Huihui had the best time playing on the horizontal bar. Their big paws were like they were glued to the iron pipe, running back and forth non-stop.

Chen Afu said, "These things can exercise children's coordination, enhance their physical fitness, and are full of fun. They will also like it. Master Chu, wouldn't you think it's not elegant for my sister to play with them?"

What Chen Afu fears most is that the ancients cannot accept this.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "Of course not. All ladies can ride horses and play Cuju. It's not harmful for children to play with these things."

With that said, he left the children's playground and walked back, passing through several banana trees and green bamboos, which was the back room. He walked around the wall again, and Chen Afu had to accompany him.

After taking a tour, Chu Lingxuan stood down and said, "Yes, although it is small, it is unique. It is a paradise for children and people."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of children's laughter and the girl's voice saying "be careful".

Chu Lingxuan lowered his head, looked at Chen Afu and said with a smile, "Where Miss Chen is, it is more than just a paradise for children. My grandfather, mother, and I all feel happy."

This praise is a bit high. Looking at his dark and deep pupils, Chen Afu turned his eyes elsewhere and said modestly, "Where is..."

Chu Lingxuan said, "Miss Chen didn't know what it means to me and my family that Yan'er has become so healthy and happy. It turns out that we didn't dare to think that she would have such a day."

He sighed and turned his eyes to the western sky. The setting sun has fallen into the clouds, dyeing the clouds there red.

Then he continued, "Miss Chen, to tell you the truth, my parents were childhood sweethearts and have always been very loving. Even if my mother had a difficult delivery when giving birth to my sister and could no longer conceive, my father would never have thought of taking a concubine. But we Our family's happiness was ended by a woman when I was fourteen years old...

“I had been a companion to the ninth prince, but this incident forced me to join the army and go to the border to find my third uncle. But three years later, when I was seventeen, I received an imperial decree from the empress dowager. She gave me a wife and asked me to return to the capital to get married immediately... Ma was a relative of Concubine Ma Shu, and I don’t remember what she looked like now... I stayed in the capital for three days and returned to the border. The next year, I heard that I had a daughter, and Ma died due to dystocia... Three years later, when I returned to the capital again, I heard that my daughter was actually an idiot. My grandfather proposed several times to take the child back to the marquis's mansion, but the woman disagreed, saying that Sun Although the girl had this disease, she still cherished her. My grandfather thought that the child was related to that woman, so he let her go.

Originally, I didn't care about Ma, nor the child she gave birth to. But one afternoon, my father suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that if I didn't take the child out, the child might die. I went to the princess's mansion, but the woman was not there, and I was taken directly to a remote courtyard. When I saw Yan'er for the first time, I wanted to slap myself twice, I should have gone to see her earlier..."

Speaking of this, Chu Lingxuan's body trembled a little, his eyes were red, he raised his hand and broke off a tree branch next to him.

"Lord Chu..." Chen Afu called softly.
