Chapter 424 Scar

In the palace, the second prince was extremely angry. He knew that the heavy snow would stop at noon on the 30th day of the first lunar month, and he wanted to make the emperor completely change his view of him through his own blood sacrifice, so that the emperor could change his obsession for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji. Unexpectedly, that bastard Lao Qi ruined his good deeds and sent all the adult princes to sacrifice to heaven.

The third child is even better at pretending, fasting while sick, and offering blood sacrifices while sick, stealing his own limelight and making people praise him in the streets. Now, in the eyes of ordinary people, the reputation of the third prince has reached a new level. Did the emperor really change his past obsession and start paving the way for the third child?

The second prince felt uneasy, fearing that his good move would actually help the third prince.

However, although the snowstorm is over, the temperature has risen sharply again, seemingly from the cold winter to the warm spring. Many elderly people or children survived the worst snow disaster, but fell ill after the weather suddenly warmed up, and many died.

The second prince remembered that this was also the case in his previous life. The special climate caused a plague in Liaozhou, and Chu Guangkai died in an accident while going to the north for inspection.

In the face of a sudden rise in temperature, the emperor decreed that various post-disaster reconstruction matters should be carried out in various places, especially the prevention and control of epidemics. Those people and livestock who died due to the snowstorm should be buried and disposed of as soon as possible...

Chen Afu didn't pay much attention to national affairs. Before returning to Dingzhou, she wanted to meet the people she needed to meet.

On February 2nd, Chen Afu took his two children to his fake maternal home, Jiang Mansion.

Jiang's family knows how to be a good person, and Jiang's natal family can still be a good person. They treated the mother and son as their own granddaughters and cherished grandsons, and no one felt any discomfort.

Mr. Jiang is the Minister of Taibu Temple. Although he is a third-rank official, his position is not important. People who are truly knowledgeable will not buy his face. After Chen Shiying's accident, he asked many people for help, but no one could really help. Even when I met Chen Shiying, I had to go to the Chu family to see him.

Mrs. Jiang hugged Brother Yu and Brother Ming and gave them a generous greeting gift. Then he took Chen Afu's hand and said, "Your mother sent me a letter, saying that fortunately you and your grandson-in-law are there, and you take good care of them..."

Chen Afu smiled sincerely and said, "My mother is virtuous and kind, and brother Lan and sister Qing are also sensible. We get along very well."

Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears and said, "This second girl of my family has been kind and sensible since she was a child, but her life was hard in the past few years. Fortunately, she met your father later, but..."

When she talked about Chen Shiying, Mrs. Jiang became even more sad and cried. Chen Shiying was her favorite and proud son-in-law, but this happened to her.

Chen Afu advised Mrs. Jiang, "When God entrusts a person with a great responsibility, he must first work hard on his mind and body... My father is a capable minister, and it is not necessarily God who has tempered his will. My father also thinks so. "He was in a good mood and was not disturbed."

Jiang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, quickly advised, "Look, old lady, your granddaughter said the same thing, right? My uncle also said the same thing. The second brother-in-law has great talents and is a capable minister. If he needs to be reused in the future, he must Let’s sharpen him up first…”

The old lady felt better after hearing this.

After having lunch and sitting for a while, Chen Afu and the children returned home.

Not long after arriving at Zhuxuan, the old Marquis and the Marquis of Chu came. The weather is relatively warm today, and Mr. Chu is not wearing a hat. Suddenly, he sees a fresh scar on his forehead, which should have been punched out not long ago. The scar was thick and long, like a red earthworm crawling on his forehead. It was so hideous and terrifying that Chen Afu was stunned. My heart also hurts. I don’t know what was used to get such a big scar.

Lord Chu is a handsome middle-aged man, but this scar ruins the overall beauty.

Mr. Chu Hou's face was so gloomy that he could turn to tears at first, and he was very angry. But as soon as he saw the two brothers on the bed, his expression immediately calmed down and his eyes became warm. He also took out two jasper pendants from his arms and asked their mother to put them away.

The two brothers had fallen asleep, and Lord Chu was sitting aside and watching them quietly.

The old Marquis said to Chen Afu, "Go and prepare some delicious and light side dishes, then call the third child over, and we can have a drink."

Chen Afu nodded and led Hua's mother and the girl to the kitchen to get busy.

It is winter now, and we have just suffered a disaster. There is no shortage of rice and noodles at home, but it is not easy to prepare delicious side dishes. The only fresh vegetables are radishes and white cabbage. Chen Afu grew some bean sprouts and planted some garlic sprouts himself, but he didn’t dare to add bird droppings.

Because Mr. Chu has an injury on his face and cannot cook braised vegetables and seafood, it is even more difficult. She thought for a while and made chestnut roasted chicken, pickled fish, crispy duck, pickled duck blood jelly tofu, pickled pork with pickled vegetables, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, crispy bean curd rolls, vegetarian stir-fried bicolor mushrooms, refreshing fungus, and garlic bean sprouts. , boiled white cabbage in fresh soup, radish and pig's feet soup.

While she was in Gong's room, she went into the space and asked for a green leaf of Agarwood as big as eye worms. This thing can beautify her. She hoped that the old handsome boy's scars would not be too obvious. She put the green leaves into the wine. The wine was strong and could cover up some of the aroma of the green leaves. It's also because she put some Agarwood wood residue into the brewing wine before, which already has a special fragrance, and adding some leaves doesn't make it noticeable.

She not only invited the third master, but also the third lady, Chu Lingwei and Chu Lingzhi.

Knowing that the three men had important matters to discuss, they arranged for them to eat in the west room, while Chen Afu, the third lady and brother Chu Lingwei ate in the east room.

The third lady whispered to Chen Afu, "The wound on Uncle's forehead must have been caused by Rong Zhao." She was angry and said, "Uncle has good self-restraint. If I were next to her, I would definitely slap her in the face. What a thing, he fought so hard to get it, but he didn't know how to cherish it."

Chen Afu also suspected that it was Rong Zhao who beat him. I don't know what happened to them, but they actually fought. It would be better if Jin Yanzi was outside, and let it lead the flock of birds to pull manure.

After dinner, Lord Chu asked Chen Afu to go to the Princess's Mansion before returning to Dingzhou Prefecture. She was a nominal daughter-in-law. Before leaving, she had to pay her respects to Rong Zhao and Lord Chu, and she couldn't let outsiders catch her handle, but she didn't want to take the children with her. And let her go boldly, he would wait for her in the mansion, and there would be no more emergencies.

When Chen Afu heard that she was going to see Rong Zhao, her scalp numbed. The third lady took the initiative to ask to accompany her, saying that she hadn't seen Rong Zhao since she was confined.

Chen Afu thought about the "catastrophe" of the Chu family and felt that the ancients were superstitious, so it was better not to let Mrs. Chu go to Princess Rongzhao's mansion. Now, both Rongzhao and Princess Rongzhao's mansion were labeled "unlucky".

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt San. No one dares to go to Princess Rongzhao's mansion now, so Aunt San should not go. With my father-in-law here, I will be fine."

Mrs. San thought about it and it was true. There was bad luck floating around Rongzhao for five miles, so why should she go there? She nodded and instructed, "Let Huang Mama accompany you. She knows many etiquettes in the palace."

The next day, Chen Afu asked the servants to send a note to the princess's mansion, saying that she would take her children to the princess's mansion to meet the princess tomorrow.

Thank you for your monthly tickets, thank you very much!
