Chapter 451 Yuanbao
At this time, the golden swallow flew over, hung on Chen Afu's clothes and chirped, "Mommy, this dog was kidnapped by Wangcai. When we were playing in Honglin Mountain, we saw a few people with this dog, and Wangcai kidnapped it when no one was paying attention. People saw that the sister who lost the dog almost cried to death. People wanted Wangcai to return the dog, but Wangcai was like crazy and ran away into the mountains with the dog."
It's really sad to lose such a cute dog.
Chen Afu looked at Wangcai, who was crazy about his wife, but because he had Sasa as a reference, he looked down on local dogs and said, "This dog doesn't look like a stray dog. Is it lost from someone's family? The owner must be very distressed."
Wangcai also understood human words. He was afraid that Chen Afu would ask people to return his wife, so he barked at Chen Afu fiercely. The dog seemed to have developed feelings for Wangcai. Seeing that Wangcai was angry, he quickly stretched out his tongue to lick Wangcai's head and comforted him not to be angry.
Chen Alu was so angry that he hit Wangcai on the back and cursed, "What are you so powerful about? Don't scare my sister."
Chen Ming said, "I also think this dog is not like a wild dog. It has a gentle temperament and good living habits. It must have been trained."
Several children also liked the dog and begged, "Don't return it. Let's buy it with money." They even spontaneously started to collect their own private money.
Chen Afu said, "Even if I want to return it, I don't know who to return it to. Forget it, let's keep it first. If no one comes to claim it, it will be ours. If someone comes to claim it, see if we can buy it."
Chen Ming also said, "Such a good dog, Wangcai likes it. If the original owner comes to the door, I will buy it no matter how much money I have."
Several children were jubilant and named it one after another. Chu Lingzhi's "Silver Fox" was the most appropriate, and Chu Hanyan's "Xue'er" was the most vivid, but everyone said that these two names did not match "Wangcai". Finally, Dabao's "Yuanbao" was the most like a couple with Wangcai, so he was called this name.
Chen Afu felt sorry for such a beautiful dog being given such a materialistic name. But seeing that the original owner seemed to like it very much, wagging its tail and having fun with the children, she let it go.
In theory, foxhounds are very shy and don't want to get close to strangers. But Yuanbao is very sociable, perhaps because he has been with Wangcai and Zhuifeng's family for a long time.
Everyone was making noise in Luyuan until the sky was full of stars, and Chen Afu and his friends returned to Tangyuan with their own animal home.
Li Xuan took Jin Yanzi, Dabao and Chu Lingzhi took Zhuifeng's family, and the little girl took Qiqi and Huihui, and they all went back to their rooms.
Jin Yanzi waited until Li Xuan fell asleep and then came to Chen Afu's bedroom. Chen Afu nodded its little head and said, "Playful little thing, Beibei is sad after being away for so many days."
Jin Yanzi heard it and hurried into the space. Chen Afu followed in and saw Jin Bao lying down and holding Jin Bei in his arms with his wings. Jin Bei's body was glowing green, and Jin Yanzi kept saying sweet words.
Jin Yanzi finally coaxed Jin Bei until the green light disappeared, but she saw Chen Afu covering her cheek all the time. She asked, "Does Mommy have a toothache?"
Chen Afu smiled, "Mommy doesn't have a toothache, but a sore tooth. Oh, baby's little mouth is so sweet. If anyone becomes your little wife, it will be a blessing to soak in the honey pot every day."
Jin Yanzi was very happy to hear this. She glanced at Jin Bei and laughed, "Mommy is really good at talking. She made me feel embarrassed."
It was June 28th, and Chu Lingxuan finally came back. Wang Cheng came back with him.
Chu Lingxuan did not return to Tangyuan, but went to Luyuan with Wang Cheng.
That afternoon, Hu Laowu, Wu Mujiang, and Gao Li were playing in Luyuan, and suddenly saw Chu Lingxuan and Wang Cheng in official uniforms appear at the gate of Luyuan.
Wang Cheng was wearing the official uniform of the fifth rank. Although his back was not straight, he looked very impressive in the eyes of Wang, Liu, and Wang Xiaomei. They all rushed over to surround him.
Hu Laowu and the others were very suspicious. Isn't Wang Cheng a horse feeder? How come he was wearing an official uniform?
Chu Lingxuan said to Chen Ming anxiously, "Father-in-law, an official will come to deliver the imperial edict soon. Hurry up and have someone bring out the incense table and set it up."
That must be the imperial edict that conferred the title of imperial edict to Wang and Liu. Chen Ming was both excited and scared. He called Shanzi with shaking legs and went into the house to take out the incense table and set it up.
Chu Lingxuan went over and whispered to Wang and Liu about the precautions for receiving the imperial edict.
Not long after, several officials came into Luyuan. One of the officials holding the imperial edict shouted loudly, "Wang, listen to the edict," Wang quickly knelt down, and the others knelt behind her.
The official who delivered the edict read the imperial edict that conferred the title of imperial edict to Wang as a fifth-rank concubine, and presented the imperial edict clothes.
Then, the imperial edict conferring the title of Fifth Rank Concubine to Liu and the title of Fifth Rank Concubine to He was read out, and the imperial edict and clothes were presented.
After that, Chu Lingxuan quietly handed a purse to the messenger and sent them out again. Chu Lingxuan did not come to Lu Garden again, but went directly back to Tang Garden
After those people left, the people in Lu Garden were still kneeling in a daze. Wang Cheng had been accustomed to big scenes in the past few days, and he was the first to stand up and said with a smile, "Big sister, brother-in-law, little brother's mother, you all get up, they have already left."
Chen Ming and Wang Shi respectfully placed the imperial edict on the incense table, and they would invite the imperial edict into the Chen family ancestral hall tomorrow. Wang Cheng was no longer close to the Wang family, and he planned to build a small ancestral hall at his home in the city, and then offer the imperial edict in it.
The news that Wang Shi was conferred the imperial edict spread quickly in Xiangluo Village like wings, and people ran around to tell each other, beaming with joy.
Wang and Chen Afu were conferred titles differently. Chen Afu was the daughter-in-law of the Chu family and was no longer from Xiangluo Village. Everyone knew that she was not related to the Chen family by blood. Wang was the first lady of Xiangluo Village.
Almost all the villagers sent representatives to Luyuan with things in their hands, and the whole family of those who had good relationships came. Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye did not act in a pretentious manner and brought their whole family. Uncle Chen Jiu was the patriarch of the Chen family and they were all so excited that they cried and said that their ancestors had appeared.
Wang led Aunt Mu to cook dinner to entertain the villagers who came to congratulate. Hu Laowu's daughter-in-law and Gao Lizheng's daughter-in-law quickly persuaded her to leave and asked the young daughter-in-law to go to the kitchen to help Aunt Mu cook. What a joke, how could they let the lady of the imperial court cook for them.
Since there were not so many ingredients, Wang asked Shanzi to go to Tangyuan to get a lot of meat and fish. There were plenty of vegetables, so they could just pick them from the fields.
At this time, Chu Lingxuan was talking to Lechen in the Zen temple. He wanted to persuade Lechen to go to his home in the prefectural capital, and he asked someone to build a nunnery for her at home.
Now, Rong Zhao has been treated so badly that he can't even care about Dingzhou, which is far away from the capital. And the Chu family is no longer afraid of Rong Zhao and Ma Shufei, so they want Lechen to practice in the nunnery at home, so that the younger generation can always show filial piety, and it is much safer...
