At this time, the golden swallow flew over, hung on Chen Ahfu'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, leading the dog away and ran into the mountains."
It's so sad that such a cute dog is lost.
Chen Ahfu looked at Wangcai, who was so eager to have a wife, but because he had Sasa as a reference, he looked down on the local dog Wangcai and said, "This dog doesn't look like a stray dog. Was it lost from someone's home? The owner must be very sad."
Wangcai also understood human language. He was afraid that Chen Afu would ask someone 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, the dog quickly licked Wangcai's head with its tongue to comfort him.
Chen A-Lu was so angry that he hit Wangcai on the back and cursed, "What are you talking about? Don't scare my sister."
Chen Ming said, "I also think this dog doesn't look 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 pool their own private money.
Chen Ahfu said, "Even if I want to return it, I don't know who to return it to. Forget it, let's keep it for now. If no one comes to claim it, it will be ours. If someone comes to claim it, we can see if we can buy it."
Chen Ming also said, "Such a good dog, Wangcai likes it so much. If the original owner comes to me, I will buy it no matter how much money it offers."
The children were delighted and gave it names. 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 similar to Wangcai, so he was named that.
Chen Ahfu 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.
Normally, Spitz are very shy and don't like to approach strangers. But Yuanbao is very sociable, perhaps because he has been with Wangcai and Zhuifeng's family for a long time.
Everyone made noise in Lu Garden until the sky was filled with stars. Only then did Chen Afu and his friends return to Tang Garden 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 each went back to their own rooms.
Golden Swallow waited until Li Xuan fell asleep and then came to Chen Afu's bedroom. Chen Afu tapped its little head and said, "Playful little thing, you've been gone for so many days, Beibei is sad."
When Jin Yanzi heard this, she hurried into the space. Chen Afu followed 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 into giving up the green light, but she saw Chen Afu covering his cheek. She asked, "Does Mommy have a toothache?"
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Mommy doesn't have a toothache, it's just that my teeth are sore. Oh my, your baby's mouth is so sweet. If anyone becomes your daughter-in-law, it will be a blessing, and I will be immersed in a honey pot every day."
Jin Yanzi was very happy to hear this. She glanced at Jin Bei and said with a giggle, "Mommy is really good at talking. She made me feel embarrassed."
On June 28th, Chu Lingxuan finally came back, and 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 the Carpenter, and Gao Li were playing in Lu Garden when they suddenly saw Chu Lingxuan and Wang Cheng in official uniforms appear at the gate of Lu Garden.
Wang Cheng was wearing the official uniform of the fifth rank. Although his back was not straight, he looked very majestic in the eyes of Wang, Liu, and Wang Xiaomei. They all rushed over and surrounded him.
Hu Laowu and his companions were very suspicious. Wasn't Wang Cheng a horse feeder? Why was he wearing an official uniform?
Chu Lingxuan said to Chen Ming in a hurry, "Father-in-law, an official will come to deliver the imperial edict soon. Hurry up and have someone bring out the incense table."
That must be the imperial edict that conferred the title of Lady Wang and Lady Liu. Chen Ming was both excited and scared, and 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 things to pay attention to when receiving the imperial edict.
Not long after, several officials came into Lu Garden. One of them, holding the imperial edict, shouted loudly, "Wang, listen to the order," and Wang quickly knelt down, and the others knelt behind her.
The official who delivered the imperial edict read out the emperor's decree conferring the title of fifth-rank consort on Wang, and also presented her with imperial decree and clothing.
Then, the imperial edict conferring the title of Fifth Rank Concubine on Liu and the title of Fifth Rank Concubine on He was read out, and the imperial edict and clothes were presented.
Afterwards, Chu Lingxuan quietly handed a purse to the messenger and sent them out. Chu Lingxuan did not come to Lu Garden again, but went directly back to Tang Garden.
After those people left, the people in Luyuan were still kneeling in a daze. Wang Cheng had been used to big scenes in the past few days, so he was the first to stand up and said with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, and my younger brother's mother, you all get up, they have already left."
Chen Ming and Wang Shi placed the imperial edict on the incense table with great respect, and they would bring it into the Chen family ancestral hall tomorrow. Wang Cheng was no longer close to the Wang family, so he planned to build a small ancestral hall at his home in the prefectural capital, and then enshrine the imperial edict there.
The news that Wang was granted an imperial title spread quickly in Xiangluo Village like wings. People ran around to tell each other, beaming with joy.
Wang and Chen Afu were given different titles. Chen Afu was the daughter-in-law of the Chu family and was no longer from Xiangluo Village. Everyone knew that she was not a blood relative of the Chen family. Wang was the first lady of Xiangluo Village.
Almost all the villagers sent representatives to Luyuan with gifts, and the whole families of those who had good relationships came. Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye also stopped being polite and brought their whole family. Uncle Chen Jiu was the patriarch of the Chen family, and he was so excited that he cried, saying that his ancestors had appeared.
Wang led Aunt Mu to cook dinner to entertain the villagers who came to congratulate them. Hu Laowu's wife 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 family cook for them.
Since there weren't that many ingredients, Wang asked Shanzi to go to Tangyuan and get a lot of meat and fish. There were plenty of vegetables, so they just had to pick them from the fields.
At this time, Chu Lingxuan was talking to Luchen in the Zen temple. He wanted to persuade Luchen to go to his home in the city, and he wanted someone to build a nunnery for her at home.
Now, Rong Zhao has been beaten to a pulp and has no time to care about Dingzhou, which is far away from the capital. Moreover, the Chu family is no longer afraid of Rong Zhao and Concubine Ma Shu, so they want to let Lechen practice in the nunnery at home, so that the younger generation can always show filial piety to him, and it will be much safer...
