Chapter 275: Eating Noodles
The old general wrote a memorial impeaching the Duke of Ying that same day.
He bullies others by taking advantage of his power, disregards the law, is a ruthless slave, and is suspected of treason, etc.
The old general wrote in a clear and straightforward manner.
Magistrate Xia directly wrote a letter to the emperor, accusing the Duke of Ying of abusing their power and trying to forcibly seize his goddaughter.
That night, a secret letter flew from the mansion directly to the emperor's desk.
Soon, the news that the Duke of England had been stripped of his official title and title spread to Daliushu Village.
"Hmph! He got such a good deal!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction on Xuanyuan Jin's little face.
Wang Zhong said cautiously, "The Emperor is probably mindful of the late Duke of Ying's achievements, so..."
That’s why they didn’t directly raid the Duke of England’s mansion.
"However, the Duke's wife has now suffered a stroke and can't even speak clearly. It can be considered as retribution." Wang Zhong said again.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded and said coldly: "You deserve it!"
Wang Zhong looked at the young master, thought for a moment, and said, "It is said that after Duke Yingguo Lin Hong was stripped of his official title, he hurriedly left the capital and headed towards Fengqi County..."
Wang Zhong paused and continued, "If the Duke's wife hadn't had a stroke, she would have been in trouble after Lin Hong arrived. She has brought trouble to the entire family. She is simply a sinner of the Lin family and may even be divorced. I'm afraid Lin Hong is here to settle the score with her..."
"You deserve it! Birds of a feather!" Xuanyuan Jin said disdainfully.
Then, he frowned and asked, "Hasn't their sickly young master been found yet?"
"I heard that there isn't one yet." Wang Zhong shook his head.
"I'm afraid he died in some corner!" Xuanyuan Jin said.
This is the best!
He actually wanted Tang Bao to bring him happiness, without even realizing who he was?
He doesn't deserve it!
It’s just right to die now, so I don’t have to do it myself!
It is said that on the second day after the old lady of the Duke's Mansion suffered a stroke, the young master of the Duke's Mansion, Lin Wangjin, actually left a letter and ran away.
Upon hearing this, the Third Young Lady fainted immediately.
The servants in the Duke's Mansion were also in chaos.
This incident caused a sensation throughout the county.
The old, weak and disabled maids and servants in the Duke of Ying's mansion, as well as the released servants and guards, searched everywhere.
So far, it has not been found.
"It seems the Duke of Yingguo's family is truly doomed to extinction," Wang Zhong lamented. "Think back then, what a hero the late Duke of Yingguo was! He single-handedly accomplished countless feats, earning the title of Duke. Sadly, he had no children, only a daughter, who died after falling off a cliff..."
Wang Zhong said this and shook his head regretfully.
"Falling off a cliff and dying?" A hint of curiosity appeared on Xuanyuan Jin's little face.
"Yes, I heard that Lin Hong was not in the capital at the time. After learning that his niece fell off the cliff, he returned to the capital without permission and searched frantically at the bottom of the cliff for three days and three nights. He even fell ill afterwards..." Wang Zhong rambled on, "If the emperor hadn't been grateful to him for searching for the late Duke's only daughter, he would definitely have punished him for returning to the capital without permission. It's a pity that the late Duke's only bloodline was not saved..."
After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh for the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion who died young.
"Are all the food and things needed for tomorrow prepared?" Xuanyuan Jin suddenly asked.
"In reply to Young Master, everything is ready," Wang Zhong said quickly. "The old general specifically ordered that we use a large pot to stew meat, a large pot to steam buns, and large jars of wine. We must ensure that everyone in the village eats and drinks to their heart's content!"
Xuanyuan Jin nodded. "Grandpa has adopted Tang Bao as his granddaughter, so he should let everyone know. This is too simple after all, and it's unfair to Tang Bao. When we return to the capital in the future, we will have to hold another banquet..."
Wang Zhong nodded quickly.
I felt that no matter how grand the ceremony was, the young master would probably feel that little Tangbao was wronged.
Early the next morning, Daliushu Village became bustling with laughter everywhere.
"His sister-in-law, have you eaten yet?"
"not yet……"
"Stop eating! Save some space for lunch..."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Stop pretending! I'm afraid your family hasn't even made breakfast yet... Let's go to the mansion..."
"Okay! Wait for me, I'll move the stool..."
"Hurry up! Don't forget to take your food..."
"Okay!"
…
The most mysterious and unattainable mansion in the eyes of all the villagers finally opened its doors to all the villagers.
The old general adopted Tang Bao as his goddaughter and specially set up a banquet in his mansion to entertain all the villagers.
Many people did not even have breakfast, but instead moved their stools, carried their bowls and chopsticks, and flocked to the big house at the entrance of the village in groups.
Regardless of how much help you can provide, at least you should take a tour of the house first, right?
"Oh my, we are really blessed by Fuya..."
"That's right! These days are just like New Year's Day..."
"I think it's more lively than Chinese New Year, but we can't even have a feast during Chinese New Year..."
“Who says it’s not…”
"Hurry up, let's go to the big house and open our eyes..."
“That’s right…”
…
At this time, the vermilion gate of the big house at the entrance of the village was wide open, and red silk was hanging on the lintel.
Not only that, there was also a lion dance troupe standing at the door on standby.
Just wait for the time to come and start dancing.
When the villagers who arrived early saw such a grand scene, their expressions became more excited and their laughter became louder.
This is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
You can enjoy the banquet and watch the lion dance.
Especially the little kids, with their big eyes full of envy and curiosity, kept circling around the lion dance team.
"Wow! The eyes on that lion's head are so big!"
"That mouth is so big! It can swallow a person in one gulp..."
"Stay away...don't eat us..."
"Hahahaha...are you stupid? This lion is fake, it won't eat people..."
A group of little kids were making a noise in surprise when the middle-aged man wearing the lion head suddenly shook his head, opened his bloody mouth and leaned forward to face the talking kids...
“Ahhhh—”
The children screamed in fear and ran away in all directions.
Seeing this, the other lion dancing men burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... Stop running! I'm trying to scare you. Come here..."
The middle-aged man took off the lion head and waved to a group of children.
Although the children were just frightened, after hearing what the big man said, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and gathered around again.
The big man was easy-going. He put the lion head on the ground and let a group of children touch it.
Then a group of children came and shouted in surprise.
When Xiaotangbao came, this is what he saw——
A group of his younger brothers were surrounding a yellow lion head, exclaiming in amazement.
