Chapter 377: Generous Rewards

"Good, good."

Master Yuanqing looked at the man in front of him with great satisfaction, "Mr. Cheng is devoted to Buddhism and has become my disciple. I will guide you and convert you. However, from today on, Mr. Cheng will no longer have a name. I will give you a Dharma name. How about Wuxin?"

Cheng Yunshuo, kneeling in front of Master Yuanqing, chanted this name and gained enlightenment.

"Very good. Thank you for the name, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Yuanqing began the ordination ceremony. He took the ordination incense prepared by the little nun beside him and gave it to Cheng Yunshuo, no, now it was Wuxin, and lit six scars for him.

Many people from the marquisate who were watching the ceremony couldn't help but shed tears.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long were especially shocked. They both covered their faces with handkerchiefs, tears streaming down their cheeks.

Their eldest son...became a monk!

After that, there’s nothing left!

Lu Lingyun looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face, more dignified and calm than before.

Because from now on, this mansion will be supported by her.

After the ordination ceremony, before Lu Lingyun even left the gate of Guangji Temple, the imperial edict came down.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims..."

Everyone present knelt on the ground, accepting the order and listening to the grace.

The emperor was grateful for Cheng Yunshuo's unparalleled filial piety and brotherly love. He observed mourning and prayed for his deceased father and became a monk. He specially decreed to confer the title of Ningyang Marquis on him and extend his title for his next generation. Ningyang Marquis was unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery and sacrificed his body for the country. He was granted the title of Imperial Ancestral Temple. Ningyang Marquis' wife, Qin, was a good parent and was dignified and virtuous. She was truly a role model, so she was granted the title of Lady of Xue State.

In addition, there were a large number of palace gold, silver and jade rewards, a thousand taels of silver, a thousand hu of pearls, a pair of agate lanterns, a pair of painted porcelain screens... and so on.

A long list of awards was read out in a flash, with the expensive gold, silver and jade items put aside. The three big awards in the front were enough to make Lu Lingyun's heart tremble.

First, the title of Ningyang Marquis was extended for one generation. Originally, Cheng Yunshuo's generation was the last generation of the marquisate, and when Cheng Bingan came, he would only have the title of earl.

This extra generation means that Bing'an can inherit the title of marquis, and can pass it on to another generation!

The old marquis's visit to the imperial temple once again brought honor to the Ningyang Marquisate!

And the fact that Qin was given the title of Lady of the State was beyond Lu Lingyun's expectations!

The fact that the old marquis can enjoy the Imperial Temple is already a sufficient reward for his military merits and a recognition of the Ningyang Marquisate by His Majesty, and the title of Lady of the State...is obviously an extra reward.

Because it’s an award for Cheng Yunshuo becoming a monk!

The Ningyang Marquisate was successfully inherited this time. The old marquis entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple and gave Qin the title of Lady of the State. This was truly a great honor!

Lu Lingyun immediately knelt on the ground, accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.

While she was thanking him, she slipped the emerald green bracelet on her wrist into the eunuch's hand through her sleeve.

The eunuch who delivered the message took the heavy thing in his hand. He looked at Lu Lingyun and congratulated her with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, Madam Crown Prince. Oh, no, I have to change my words."

Lu Lingyun looked at the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch continued with a smile, "Although His Majesty has not given you a title, Madam Cheng, His Majesty's extension of the title means that if Madam Xue asks for a marquisate for Master Wuxin, His Majesty will approve it. In the future, Madam Cheng will be the wife of the Marquis of Ningyang."

When Lu Lingyun heard this, she immediately understood, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Mrs. Cheng, you have to manage the entire Ningyang Marquis' Mansion now. It's really hard work."

"My father-in-law has worked hard too."

Lu Lingyun bowed once again to bid farewell to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

As soon as the eunuchs who delivered the imperial edict left, the people around them began to discuss the matter heatedly.

"Old Ningyang Marquis died in battle and was enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. What a great honor!"

"There are not many people in our dynasty who have been admitted to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The Ningyang Marquis's Mansion is truly magnificent!"

"It is the first time in our dynasty that the old marquis' wife has been given the title of Lady of the State!"

"Yes, the Queen of the Marquisate, to be conferred the title of Madam of the State, is the highest honor!"

"You said so, but I think the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion deserves the honor! The old Ningyang Marquis died on the battlefield and sacrificed his body for the country, and the Ningyang Marquis's son mourned for his father. This is a great loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. It is not reasonable for them to be awarded these titles!"

"Yes! Ningyang Marquis' Mansion deserves it!"

"The Ningyang Marquis's Mansion is truly amazing!"

The voices of praise from the crowd rose one after another. Lu Lingyun listened but said nothing. She just left with her people in a low profile.

After she left, several different looks appeared in the crowd.

One was extremely dull, extremely shocked, and extremely unbelievable.

In the crowd, a woman in not-too-luxury clothes, holding a little boy, stared at Lu Lingyun, who was surrounded and stared at by everyone.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, bright and beautiful, and everyone praised her and looked up to her.

But......

"It shouldn't be like this!" Lu Hanyi was hit hard again, "Shouldn't she be so depressed and listless?"

"Obviously, Cheng Yunshuo has become a monk, the Marquisate is doomed, and she is doomed too, so how come she is better off!"

"Mom." Li Shouye listened to his mother's mumbling. Because there were many people around, he was afraid of being embarrassed if someone heard him, so he held her hand and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"I don't believe it!" Lu Hanyi screamed, "She shouldn't be like this!"

"Her husband has become a monk, why doesn't she become one too?"

“She has received so many awards.”

"Why does she get all the good things?"

Her words made people around look at her sideways. Li Shouye was really annoyed by the embarrassment. He looked at the maid who followed him and asked her to help him quickly drag his mad and jealous mother away.

Here, Lu Hanyi was disappointed to see the show, and was stimulated to the point of having her eyes turn red again. In the crowd on the other side.

A woman wearing a Dou-li hat stared at Lu Lingyun and his group as they left with a sharp gaze.

"The Ningyang Marquisate has inherited the throne for generations..."

"His Majesty has not directly named who will inherit the throne. My aunt has to go and ask for the title..."

Qin Shaojing's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this time, her eyes fell on a tall and resolute man among the crowd of people.

Cheng Qi, who changed into casual clothes, still stood out in the crowd.

After not seeing him for a few years, he looks even more handsome and upright.

Especially when compared with Liu Ye and his lewd father in her room, who had hollowed out his body with alcohol and women and spent all day fooling around looking for women, Qin Shaojing's eyes lit up even more.

"Madame Qin, go prepare the carriage and follow them."

Qin Shaojing said.

"yes."

They quickly dispersed from the crowd.

After Cheng Qi followed Lu Lingyun and others to the backyard, they all got on the carriages.

"Sister-in-law, you guys go back first. I want to take a walk around the capital." Cheng Qi said.

After hearing what Cheng Qi said, Lu Lingyun nodded at him and said, "Second Uncle, be careful and go home early. Huihui will be back today."

"Okay, I understand." Cheng Qi nodded at her and got on the horse.
