Chapter 460 Here We Come
Chen Afu was pregnant and couldn't be tired, mainly because Chu's second grandmother Song was helping to greet the guests.
Because Luo Xunfu helped Chen Shiying, Jiang came to express her gratitude to Luo Si grandmother and invited them to visit Chen's mansion when they were free.
Chen Afu introduced Luo Ying to Chen Yuqing, and the two girls became good friends in a short time.
There were not many guests today. Except for Chu Hua and a few others, they were all relatives and friends of Dingzhou Prefecture. Because the two brothers' first birthday banquet was in half a month, many friends of Chu Lingxuan from other places would come to congratulate them at that time.
After dinner, after watching the party, the guests left one after another. Chu Hua and Luo Si grandmother's families will stay in the mansion for one night, and return to Luojiazhuang to accompany Chen tomorrow. Because Luo Ying wants to make clothes, she will stay in the mansion for a few more days.
Chen Yuqing also likes Chu Hanyan's clothes. Chen Afu asked her to go to Nishang Embroidery Workshop with Luo Ying tomorrow to select materials and measure their sizes, and give them each a set.
This kind of clothes also quietly became popular in Dingzhou Prefecture, and then spread further and further, until it spread to the capital and even further north, as well as to Jiangnan and even further south. Of course, this is a story for later.
Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu began to get busy again. Chu Lingxuan was busy with official duties and it was almost difficult for him to go home for a night. Chen Afu was busy with the birthday banquet on October 1st and taking care of the children.
Busy time always passes quickly, and it was the end of September in a blink of an eye.
In the afternoon of the 28th, Luo Xunfu secretly arrived at Luojiazhuang. Except for the old marquis, Chu Lingzhi and Li Xuan, Chu Lingxuan's family went to Luojiazhuang to welcome him, and Chen Shiying, who knew the news, also went. Luo Xunfu is the first local administrative chief of Jibei Province. He didn't dare to tell others today, otherwise Luojiazhuang would not be quiet.
Chu Lingxuan, Chen Shiying, Luo Siye, and Dabao greeted them outside the courtyard gate, Chen Afu and Luo Sinainai and several women and children greeted them at the second gate, and even Luo Chen came out.
Knowing that his brother was coming today, Lechen had been restless and excited since morning.
At about the end of Shen time, there was a noise in the front yard, and Lechen's eyes turned red. She had the best relationship with her eldest brother. When the family was in trouble, her eldest brother was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. But because of her, her eldest brother went to Jibei Province to serve as a patrol officer. Not only because he was angry and didn't want to stay in the capital, but also to take better care of his sister.
Chen Shiying met Luo Xunfu outside the gate, expressed his gratitude, and didn't follow them into the second gate. Now there are not only his daughter's family in the inner courtyard, but also the women of the Luo family and the Chu family. He will wait in the front yard until dark, then go to Old Lady Zhao and stay there for one night.
Luo Xunfu wore a navy blue brocade robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. He was about fifty years old, with a jade face and long beard, and looked very majestic.
As soon as he entered the second gate, Lechen came forward and pulled his sleeve and cried.
Looking at his sister in plain clothes and a monk's hat, Luo Xunfu was also very sad. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Sister, your brother is useless and you have suffered. Mother still misses you, you must take good care of yourself and visit her in the future."
When his mother was mentioned, Lechen cried even harder. He choked and said, "It is my sister who is unfilial and has made mother seriously ill..."
Chu Hua came over to support Lechen and persuaded him, "Mother, uncle has been tired from the journey, sit down and talk."
After a while of greeting, everyone entered the upper room. Luo Xunfu and Lechen sat in the upper seats. Chen Afu brought Chu Hanyan and his two sons to Luo Xunfu. It was the first time they saw this uncle (uncle grandfather) and they wanted to kowtow.
Dabao also consciously stood in a row with them, and he also wanted to kowtow. He had already bowed to Luo Xunfu when they met, and Chu Lingxuan did not ask him to bow again. Who knew he was so conscious. He was like this, and people who didn't know the inside story thought he should be like this, but people who knew the inside story didn't persuade him too much.
Luo Xunfu already knew about Dabao's special life experience. Dabao felt uncomfortable bowing to him and even bowed slightly.
He looked at Chen Afu twice more. This nephew's wife was not only good-looking, but also had a full forehead and thick earlobes. She was indeed blessed. Then he looked at Yan Jie'er and the two little brothers. Yan Jie'er had bright eyes and white teeth, and there was no trace of dementia. The two little brothers were smart and strong. They would kowtow by themselves when they turned one tomorrow. Although the posture was not standard and they almost crawled on the ground, it was already very difficult.
And the noble little eleven, who was smart and clever, with clear eyebrows and eyes, was taught very well. I heard that the legitimate son of Prince Rui was also sent to her for education. It was really not simple.
Luo Xunfu nodded to Chu Lingxuan and said with satisfaction, "Well, your daughter-in-law is not bad. She is polite and intelligent." He gave each of them a gift.
Chu Lingxuan smiled and nodded.
Luo Xunfu seemed to be praising the children to the parents, which made Chen Afu very embarrassed.
The vegetarian banquet was held in the hall of the upper room of the main courtyard. After dinner, Luo Xunfu went to the side room with Lechen to talk alone. The others did not disturb the brothers and sisters, and laughed and chatted in the hall.
Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er had just learned to walk by themselves, and they were very interested in turning around in the middle of the hall. Although they were wobbly and fell from time to time, they did not allow their mother to lead them or others to help them. Instead, they climbed up on all fours and continued to walk. Fortunately, they were wearing a lining and there was a velvet carpet on the ground, so it didn't hurt when they fell.
In fact, Chen Afu didn't want them to walk too early or for too long. In her previous life, she heard from young mothers that it was not good for children to walk too early for their legs and eyes. But these two little guys were very opinionated and cried loudly if they were not allowed to walk. Moreover, perhaps because they had really stayed in the space for a long time, they were stronger, smarter, and developed earlier than babies of the same age.
They walked, swayed, fell, and climbed, attracting everyone's attention. People didn't care to talk anymore and looked at the two brothers with interest.
But there are differences between the two brothers. Brother Yu has to fall one somersault, and Brother Ming has to fall three times. Brother Ming's coordination ability is obviously not as good as Brother Yu. But Brother Ming has learned to say four single sounds, "mother", "father", "milk" and "eat", while Brother Yu can only say one single sound, which is "beat".
While they were laughing and joking, Manager Luo quietly entered the hall and whispered a few words in Chu Lingxuan's ear. Chu Lingxuan nodded, got up and went to the front yard with him.
Not long after, Chu Lingxuan returned to the living room and whispered to Fourth Master Luo, his wife and Chu Hua, "I have a friend from the army who came to the front yard and wanted to meet Ah Fu and the children."
Fourth Master Luo said hurriedly, "Please do as you please."
Chu Lingxuan leaned down and picked up the two brothers one by one. Hongfei came over to support Chen Afu. Chen Dabao consciously held Chu Hanyan and walked out together.
The two mothers of the two brothers did not move. The uncle was not letting them follow him.
Seeing Dabao's initiative, Chu Lingxuan twitched the corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly. Originally, Chu Lingxuan did not want to take Dabao there. But this child has many thoughts, and if he is not taken away, he is afraid that he will be unhappy.
When he came to the yard, Chu Lingxuan whispered to Chen Afu, "It's my father who is here."
