Chapter 662: Astrology Divination Bureau
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Madam w.a.n.g revealed a gratified expression and nodded at All Yu.
“Looks like Grandma’s All Yu has really grown up and can think through so many things. That’s right, you’re already a Village Lord now. Even if you want to come out after going to the Astrology Divination Bureau, no one will dare to stop you.”
Ah Yu looked at Old Madam w.a.n.g. She wanted to tell her about the Nine Dragon Treasure Cauldron, but she didn’t know how to start.
Moreover, Ah Yu saw that Old Madam w.a.n.g’s sideburns had already turned white. Grandma was really old, although she had always used the Myriad Spirit Water to nourish her family’s bodies.
However, when one was old, they would definitely look old. If they were burdened with too many thoughts, they might hurt their body.
When most of the others in the family had left, she said to Old Madam w.a.n.g, “Grandma, I don’t know if 1 should tell you something now, but 1 feel that telling you now will only cause you more trouble, so I want to tell you when I manage to handle it well in the future, okay?”
Old Madam w.a.n.g smiled. “Is it related to the Astrology Divination Bureau?” “Grandma, I really can’t hide anything from you! It’s indeed related. I’ll only know if 1 can do it well after entering the Astrology Divination Bureau.” Ah Yu blinked. “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let myself cause trouble, and 1 won’t let the family worry about me.”
“Silly child, what are you talking about? As a family, we have to trouble each other.” Old Madam w.a.n.g changed the topic and looked at the group of boys who had already grown up but still revealed some foolishness. She said indifferently, “It’s good if they cause some trouble. Let that group of naughty monkeys train and let them know that they’re your Big Brothers and not your Little Brothers. They can’t rely on their sister all day.”
Now, the foundation of the entire w.a.n.g Family was still very shallow. Old Madam w.a.n.g’s original intention was to let the w.a.n.g Family become All Yu’s backing. However, up until now, the w.a.n.g Family still relied on Ah Yu a lot.
It was not a good thing in the long run.
It was fine if she kept an eye on them, but these silly monkeys couldn’t do anything by themselves. If she looked a hundred years in the future, would the next generation treat All Yu well?
No one could be sure.
From the beginning to the end, Old Madam w.a.n.g knew that Ah Yu’s encounter with the w.a.n.g Family was a karmic fate. They needed to cherish it.
Not only did they have to treat Ah Yu as family, but they also had to know that everything she did for the family must not be taken for granted.
Any kind of sacrifice would only cause problems if it’s one sided.
The t.i.tle of Village Lord could be considered a warning for her to let the other children of the w.a.n.g Family know that Ah Yu was always the most special in the w.a.n.g Family.
When she brought Liu s.h.i.+ to the Imperial City, she naturally didn’t go to see Emperor Minghua in person, nor did she see the Empress Dowager and the others. The Empress was not in good health.
The Empress Dowager was once her close friend. If the two of them met, the Empress Dowager would probably recognize her immediately.
Old Madam w.a.n.g only brought Liu s.h.i.+ to the court to listen in on a case. She then brought her to the Defeng Pavilion in the Imperial City and befriended a few officials.
Those people were all introduced to Liu s.h.i.+ to practice with. The fourth branch’s Zhu’er was still young, so she didn’t need to be in a hurry to be a good grandmother, but she had to learn to be a good mother-in-law.
Qin Huai’s status was special, and his mother’s family was powerful. Liu s.h.i.+ needed to improve her prestige and the manner in which she carries herself.
After that, Old Madam w.a.n.g met the overwrought governor of Shuntian Prefecture and found an opportunity to chat with him for five minutes. When she came out, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture hurriedly went to the inner palace to see Emperor Minghua.
Only then did they return.
Liu s.h.i.+ was stunned the entire time until on the carriage home, Old Madam w.a.n.g said to her, “If nothing goes wrong, Ah Yu should be able to get a t.i.tle.” Liu s.h.i.+’s mouth fell open. “A… a t.i.tle?”
Actually, Liu s.h.i.+ had yet to recover from her shock, but she naturally had to hold on in front of the children and couldn’t show her emotions.
Her mother-in-law had told her that since she wanted to be Ah Yu’s mother, she couldn’t just perform the basics like eating and living with her. She had to be her backer and be calm and reserved at all times.
They had arrived in Wanning City, and the children were gradually growing up. Naturally, there was no need to advocate for a simple and frugal lifestyle anymore. They could completely entrust the care of daily necessities and meals to the servants without having to personally handle everything themselves.
In short, the news of Ah Yu obtaining the Village Lord status as a commoner had really spread from Wanning City to the prefecture city, Yongding County, Nanhe Town, and then to Hu Family Village.
Those who knew Ah Yu were all happy for her.
“This is really a first!”
“I knew it. Ah Yu is amazing. She didn’t look like a mortal even as a child.”
The villagers were all discussing excitedly, and Old Master Hu was so happy that his beard was about to curl up. He immediately waved his hand. “Go to the w.a.n.g Family and discuss with Chuanfu. Ah Yu and the others are currently in the capital for the examinations. I’m afraid they won’t have time to come back and see us. However, such a huge matter needs to be recorded in the ancestral hall. Let’s hold a banquet in the name of the village and invite all the villagers from the surrounding villages to gather.”
When w.a.n.g Chuanfu heard about this, he really couldn’t make the decision. His eldest daughter-in-law, who usually handled such things, had already brought his grandson to Wanning City. Now, only he, Madam Feng, and Dalang were left in the village.
“I think they’ve already celebrated in the capital, right? Isn’t it a little inappropriate for us to celebrate in the village?”
This matter was too big. w.a.n.g Chuanfu was still afraid of his mother. What if Old Madam w.a.n.g did not agree?
On the other hand, when Teacher Wan and Teacher Luo from the village school heard about this, they both said, “This matter should definitely be celebrated. In the history of Great Chang, there are very few commoner women who are conferred the t.i.tle of Village Lord. We have to let everyone know.”
“My granddaughter is so capable, why should we hide her? Of course we have to make a big fuss and let everyone around know!” When Old Liu and the others heard the news, they also came. Everyone brought large baskets of things.
When they opened it, they saw that it was filled with chicken, duck, and fish. There were also three wild boars with their hands and feet tied up. They were carried over.
Old Liu said, “We don’t have much to give you, but we’ll hold a banquet with these things. If it’s not enough, we can go to the mountains to get more!”
Goutou, Goudan, Gousheng, and the others also said, “Let’s go to the mountains to hunt some more.”
They didn’t like to study, but liked to learn martial arts. They all followed Blood Thirteen, especially Goutou, who had learned the G.o.dlike ability of hidden weapons.
His was quite accurate at darting wild boars.
Although for some reason, Teacher Blood loved to bring them to hunt wild boars the most, and the wild boars around them did not like to come here anymore.
The village was bustling with activity as a banquet was held. All Yu’s reputation also spread further. The threshold of the Hu Family Village’s fairy temple was even broken by the surging crowd.
Initially, everyone came to pray for blessings. Later on, there were all kinds of requests. Until one time, a man ran to pray for a child and was chased out by the people of Hu Family Village.
“Pfft! Our Ah Yu is still a child. Why are you praying for her to bless you with a child! If your wife can’t give birth, that’s because you’re sick. Go and see a doctor!” Hu Sanpang swung the stick in his hand and sent him scurrying 20 feet away, scaring the surrounding people.
Time pa.s.sed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the imperial civil service examination. Ah Yu had finally finished understanding the relevant a.s.sessment of the Astrology Divination Bureau and entered different examination halls with Qin Huai and the others.
Ah Yu’s examination hall was in the Astrology Divination Bureau..
