In the evening, when Chu Lingxuan and his family were about to go to Anrong Hall, he and the prince brought the animal home. Because it was too lonely to live alone in the palace with the prince, Qiqi, Huihui and Zhuifeng's family stayed there to accompany him most of the time. As soon as school was over today, he went back to the palace to bring the animal home.
As soon as he saw Chu Lingxuan, he stepped forward and bowed to him, smiling and saying, "Father-in-law, we have a great fate. Before, I was your adopted son, and now I am your son-in-law."
Seeing Xiaoxiao calling him "Prince" so solemnly, Chu Lingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected that Xiaoyi, who had been playing tricks on him since he was a child, would become his son-in-law.
The young boy in front of him, wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown, with handsome eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth and red lips, was extremely beautiful. He was also the Queen Mother's favorite son and the Emperor's favorite brother. It was said that the Emperor had given him a big house and countless gold, silver and jewelry...
Chu Lingxuan said, "Yes, it is fate." He then said very seriously, "Growing up with the prince and Yan'er, I know that she is gentle, kind, simple, and has no fighting ability. Ah Fu and I can only feel at ease when we hand Yan'er over to you."
Chu Lingxuan said this because he was worried. His relationship with the prince was too good, and there were too many people who cared about him. Chu Lingxuan was afraid that he would lose his original intention and let his daughter suffer in the midst of splendor. Chen Afu believed in him completely, but Chu Lingxuan did not dare to believe him completely.
Although He Wangye was young, he had grown up observing other people's expressions and understood the hidden meaning of Chu Lingxuan's words. He also said very seriously, "Father-in-law, please relax. I have always been afraid of my sister crying. I will not wrong my sister, nor will I let anyone wrong her." What he didn't say was that his mother and sister were the most beautiful women in the world and his favorite women. It was his wish since childhood not to let them suffer any grievances.
Chu Lingxuan was quite satisfied with his reply.
Prince He also greeted Chen Afu, Chu Hanyan, and his younger brothers and sisters, and said that they would go to the Prince's Mansion for dinner during the day off. A new chef had come to the mansion, and the dishes he cooked were very special. Everyone talked and laughed, and went to Anrong Hall for dinner together.
Chu Lingxuan walked at the back and saw the two little brothers and Xiao Yuer running in front, chasing the animal house they hadn't seen for several days. The children's laughter and the barking of dogs were scattered all the way. He Wangye was still like a child, holding Chen Afu's sleeve with one hand, and called Chu Hanyan to his other side. He first pulled the little girl's sleeve, and perhaps felt that it was not good, so he let go. The three of them were shrouded in the twilight, smiling and whispering, just like on the way from Tangyuan to Fuyuan a few years ago.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxuan felt relieved. Considering the "brother-sister" relationship between him and the prince and Yan'er since childhood, the "mother-son" relationship with Ah Fu, and his good character, he should not let Yan'er down, right?
In the evening, after Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu finished their work, they hugged each other and talked about some things at home, including Chu Hanyan's matter.
Chen Afu knew Chu Lingxuan's concerns and said, "Yan'er is kind and honest, but she has a soft personality. I don't feel comfortable if she marries someone I don't know. But we can't stop her from getting married, right? If she gets married, Xiao Shiyi is the best candidate. Xiao Shiyi was raised by me, he is a good child, and he has deep feelings for Yan'er. His only shortcoming is that he is too well-off and there are too many people who care about him. As long as he is devoted to Yan'er, and the Chu family is now quite trusted by the emperor, the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen will definitely not force him to take a concubine. What we have to guard against now is that some girls use tricks. Fortunately, the people around him are close to us, and I have also told them. Also, train a few more smart servants for Yan'er..."
What she didn't say was that if there really was such a shameless person, she would be dealt with first. If she couldn't be dealt with by others, then let Jin Yanzi deal with her. Rong Zhao was the eldest daughter of the late emperor, so wasn't she beaten to a pulp by Jin Yanzi?
Chu Lingxuan was very moved after hearing what Chen Afu said. He kissed her cheek and said, "Yan'er is where she is today, thanks to you. You worry about her more than I do as a father. It's hard for you."
Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "Yan'er is so lovely. I have always treated her as my own daughter, and she also treats me as her own mother. Our mother-daughter relationship is as deep as the mother-son relationship with Xiao Shiyi. When she gets married, I will use my private money to buy her a dowry..."
The next day, the emperor awarded meritorious generals such as Chu Guangkai and Chu Lingxuan in the Golden Palace. While agreeing that Chu Guangche pass the title of Yong'an Marquis to his son Chu Lingxuan, he also gave Chu Guangche a "Golden Book and Iron Certificate".
In the Golden Palace, there were three men of the Chu family. Chu Guangche had no official position, Chu Guangkai had only a nominal title of a first-rank imperial guard, and Chu Lingxuan was only a second-rank military officer. But all the civil and military officials did not dare to look down on these three men, because they all knew that these three men were the most trusted and trusted generals of the emperor. Once something happened in the court, Chu Guangche's words would carry the most weight. Chu Guangkai might be in charge again, and Chu Lingxuan had a bright future...
In the afternoon, the imperial edict to confer the title of Marquis of Xijin and Marquis of Yong'an to the Chu family also arrived. After Chu Lingxuan became the youngest Lord Chu, Chen Afu also became the youngest Marquis's wife.
Chu Lingxuan became the Marquis of Yong'an, and thus the master of the Marquisate. Chu Guangche became the old Marquis, and the old Marquis became the old-old Marquis, known as the "Old Master".
As soon as the newly appointed old marquis returned home, he proposed to move out of Anrong Hall, and Chu Lingxuan and his wife moved in.
Chu Guangche has a courtyard in the outer courtyard, called Jinyuan, and if he lives in the Marquis's Mansion in the future, he will live there. But he also wants a courtyard in the inner courtyard. He also has a luxury, that if Luo returns, she will also have a place to live.
At the same time, the second family also started to move. Although the second master was extremely uncomfortable with the family's property being handed over to his son, there was nothing he could do because the old man and Chu Ling'an had already secretly registered in the government. What made him even more angry was that his family was given 50,000 taels of silver in cash, but his old father didn't give him any private money. Moreover, 10,000 taels of this silver were given to Chu Lingqi, and more than half of it was used to buy a big house and some land, leaving less than 20,000 taels of silver. If he wanted to spend a large amount of money, he had to get the old man's consent. He was so angry that he had to secretly beat Chu Ling'an up, and there was no other way.
Li was very happy that her son was in charge of the property. What made her unhappy was that the old man simply gave the illegitimate son away and gave him 10,000 taels of silver, 2,000 acres of land, a shop, a farm, and some utensils and ornaments. If she had divided it, she would have been sent away with a few thousand taels of silver.
Although the Third Master and the Third Lady had the Xijin Marquisate cleaned up and many things were moved in, they were not in a hurry to move. The Third Master felt that he rarely showed filial piety to his old father, and wanted to wait until he and his eldest brother moved to the countryside before moving.
