Chapter 361 - 360
She half sat up and asked, "Is Lingxuan back?"
Chu Lingxuan was taken aback, and as he lay on the bed, he said, "Why are you still awake so late?" He stretched out his arm to hug her into his arms and comforted her, "Don’t worry, we won’t let anything happen to you. Dad will come to Tang Garden tomorrow night, and we’ll discuss it further... Go to sleep, it’s late."
Smelling his familiar scent, Chen Afu also became sleepy and said before falling asleep, "Jin Bao flew away, it went to find the tricolored ball. I am worried, I don’t know if it might be in danger..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxuan was overjoyed. That Jin Yanzi was truly a magical bird - it could coax children, could laugh, and even pull dung with Rong Zhao. The fact that it had gone to find the tricolored ball... If it could really find it and bring it back, his family could implement preventative measures in time.
He reassured her, "Don’t worry, Jin Yanzi is smart and capable, it won’t be in danger."
The next day, when Chen Afu woke up, Chu Lingxuan was already gone.
Hong Fei said, "The master had to attend to the court today, so he left early in the morning. He also said that he would come back for dinner tonight and asked us to prepare more dishes to go with alcohol..." Che Afu nodded. After Dabao had breakfast, Zhui Feng and his family sent him to school. Chen Afu then took out the gifts prepared for the main house’s washing-in-laws ceremony. Four zhuanyuji silver ingots, a pair of small silver bracelets, a small silver collar, two pieces of high-quality fine velvet, with two more chickens and fifty eggs added by the old woman. It was a lavish gift, certainly the best in Xiangluo Village.
After accompanying Chu Hanyan and Li Xuan to play in Fu Garden for a while, she went to Lu Garden. Madam Luo was also carrying fifty eggs and clasping four zhuanyuji silver ingots as she went with her.
Chen Ming had just returned from the county town, and Mrs. Wang was waiting for her. Seeing her arrive, they all went to the village together.
Hong Fei helped Chen Afu walk down this familiar path, which she hadn’t walked down in a long time. The farmers in the fields got up to greet them warmly, smiles on their faces.
