Chapter 189: The Chen Family Comes
On the first day of October, Chen Dazhong and his party knocked on the door of Luo's house, and Chen Xiuyan happily went to the front yard in person.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister..." Chen Xiuyan's eyes instantly turned red as she looked at the slovenly bearded family members who passed by during the trip. It was clear that they had only come to Taiyuan Prefecture a few months ago, but now they felt more cordial when they saw them.
"Xiu Yan (little sister, younger brother and sister)." Chen Dazhong and his party were also very happy.
Chen Xiuyan asked Fuxing to entertain the people from Weiyang Escort Bureau, and she personally led them to the backyard.
"Madam, please slow down." Mother Mu looked on in shock. Chen Xiuyan walked sideways from time to time, and occasionally took two steps backwards.
After being reminded by Grandma Mu, Chen Xiuyan straightened her figure, walked a little slower, and couldn't help but caress her belly slightly.
As a mother who gave birth to two sons, Luo Wenjin saw something strange about Chen Xiuyan at a glance, and immediately stepped forward to hold Chen Xiuyan's hand, "Brother and sister, are you pregnant?"
As soon as Luo Wenjin finished speaking, Chen Dazhong and his son also looked at Chen Xiuyan, all looking forward to her answer.
Chen Xiuyan nodded, "It's been almost three and a half months."
"Great." Everyone said in unison.
"I will tell your mother about this good thing when we get back. She will be happy to know about it." Chen Dazhong said with a loving face.
"I have already written a letter back to announce the good news. I wrote it when I was three months old. I should be on my way now." Chen Xiuyan said a little coquettishly, "Mom, they can know my good news earlier."
"Okay, okay." Chen Dazhong nodded.
Chen Xiuyan led people to Luo Mingqing's yard, "Dad, eldest brother, and second brother, you guys stay here, wash up first, and then eat together."
The servants waiting in the yard were already busy, and Chen Dazhong and the others were not used to it. Fortunately, Chen Xiuyan had given instructions early in the morning to make some preparations, and Chen Dazhong and the others were left to do the rest.
After that, Chen Xiuyan took Luo Wenjin to the courtyard where Zhu Shanfang now lives. "Sister, Mingchu and Ming Nian are in the academy. This room is the room of the eldest brother-in-law, and the room next door is where the two children live."
There were a lot of people in the house all of a sudden. Chen Xiuyan felt it was lively and wanted to go to the kitchen to have a look, but she was ordered by Aunt Mu to sit in the hall and take a rest while looking at the scenery in the garden.
"Mother Mu, do you think my father looks similar to Commander Chen?" Chen Xiuyan, the only two people in the hall, asked directly.
"Not to mention the aura, the appearance is similar." Aunt Mu said matter-of-factly.
"My father should be very happy." Chen Xiuyan smiled, "My uncle who I have never met has been my father's concern for half his life. He will never see his body alive or dead."
"If we could recognize each other, my father would burst into tears." Although Chen Xiuyan said it funny, her eyes were already red.
"If Mr. Chen and the others can come to Taiyuan Mansion in the future, it will be a good thing for Madam, and her natal family will be close." Aunt Mu was happy for Chen Xiuyan's good luck.
Both your promotion and your own status are powerful boosts.
Commander Chen is the confidant of King Jin, not only the commander of Taiyuan Prefecture; Grandma Mu came from the palace, and the one most trusted by the princes and emperors from all over the world is King Jin.
"I wonder if dad would want to come." Chen Xiuyan knew that Chen Dazhong had spent half his life in Chenjiacun, and he needed to make a lot of determination to come over.
Chen Dazhong and others came over after washing up, and their beards were cleanly shaved. They looked really pleasing to the eye. Chen Xiuyan thought to herself, no wonder she is so good-looking.
"Dad, please hurry up and eat." Chen Xiuyan greeted. The food on the table was very rich and varied, but it was mainly liquid food. You had to eat and sleep in the open all the way. Eating too heavy and greasy food is not good for your health.
There are two types of porridge, sweet and salty. Women love sweet porridge, and Chen Xiuyan was thoughtful about it.
When they all finished eating, Chen Xiuyan urged them to rest.
"Madam, I really feel sorry for you." Of course, Grandma Mu understood Chen Xiuyan's plan. If she talked about Commander Chen at this time, Chen Dazhong would probably not be able to sleep.
When Luo Wenqian came back from the office, Chen Dazhong and his party were still sleeping. There was no dinner waiting for them. What they needed most now was rest.
Early the next morning, everyone finally met.
"Dad, elder brother-in-law, second uncle-in-law, and eldest sister." Luo Wenqian greeted several people. Chen Dazhong was very happy to see his little son-in-law.
He was a man and didn't think much about it, but Liu was a woman and was worried about this, so she asked Chen Dazhong to take a look at the situation in the backyard when he arrived in Taiyuan Mansion.
Luo Wenqian was very self-sufficient. Not to mention concubines and concubines, Chen Dazhong had just heard these words. He was really embarrassed to ask his son-in-law about the backyard. Fortunately, the little maid in the yard was a chatterbox, and she kept talking.
Praising his master and saying how good the relationship between them was also saved Chen Dazhong from embarrassment.
"Dad, this time you stay a little longer and then go back and see the scenery of Taiyuan Mansion." Luo Wenqian greeted, "I usually let others lead me, but I will take you dad for a walk when I have a rest."
Chen Dazhong smiled and waved his hand, "You are so busy every day, and you seldom have a break to work. We can just take a look and go back in a hurry, otherwise we won't worry about your mother and the others at home."
"Dad, I want to tell you something." Chen Xiuyan took over the topic with a hint of seriousness in her eyes.
"What?"
"I may have met my uncle."
"Pah——"
Chen Dazhong stood up directly, and the chair behind him fell down. His face was full of shock and disbelief, and there was also a faint expectation, because the possibility of what Chen Xiuyan said with her current identity was over 50%.
"Dad." Chen Muchai and Chen Muzhu helped Chen Dazhong sit down, one supporting a person and the other holding a chair. "Dad, this is good news. Don't get excited."
"Really, really, really?" Chen Dazhong's lips trembled and his words were incoherent. His rubbing hands revealed his nervousness and excitement.
"Dad, I have never met my uncle. You have to see it with your own eyes to confirm." Chen Xiuyan said.
"Then, when will we meet?"
"I'll send someone a post today to see what they say."
"Okay, okay, okay."
After getting the news from Chen Dazhong, he was restless, couldn't eat, and refused to take a nap. Chen Muzhu accompanied him, and Chen Muchei concluded the purpose of his visit.
"Little sister, we sold half of the grain and sent the other half to you. We didn't sell it in Yijiang County, but we went to Fucheng to sell it. The price was pretty good," Chen Muchai said with a smile.
"The shop rented out in Fucheng has been directly renewed this time, and the rent has been brought to you." This was also the reason why he went to Fucheng specially. Chen Muchai handed over the banknote, a total of three hundred taels.
"Thank you, second brother." Chen Xiuyan accepted it.
"Really, really uncle?"
"I think it's close to ten."
