Chapter 509: Chapter 267 Glory_1

Qian Sangui hurriedly reassured her, "Yixiu, don’t be afraid; the big snake is already dead."

Qian Yixiu’s heart slowly settled down. Monkey Sister ran over to tug at her sleeve, and Shan Dian also came over to rub against her legs. Seeing the animals of the House of Animals that she had worried about for over two months finally return safely, Qian Yixiu cheered up and stroked both their heads.

"You’ve taken your revenge? Killed the Monkey King?" she exclaimed with joy.

Monkey Sister grinned and nodded.

Monkey Brother had already laid the big snake on the ground and was excitedly flashing a wide smile at her. Qian Yixiu wiped away tears and gave Monkey Brother a big smile, saying, "Congratulations to you, congratulations to all of you, you are the best."

Immediately, Monkey Brother and White Wolf howled upward to the sky, Dashan barked wildly, and Monkey Sister and Shan Dian joyously hopped and yelled.

The yard was filled with jubilation.

Through Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister’s sign language, Qian Yixiu roughly understood how they had taken their revenge. They had hidden in an area that the Monkey King frequently visited and only launched their attack when the Monkey King went out with just three monkeys, eliminating all four of them in one fell swoop.

During their wait, they had unexpectedly encountered this big snake. Monkey Sister followed it and learned about its cave. After killing the Monkey King, they went and killed this snake to bring it back.

Monkey Brother also gestured towards the big snake, making several motions. It meant that he, craving it, had made the other members of the House of Animals hold off their cravings, resisting the temptation to enjoy the delicacy first.

Besides two snake heads that had been smashed and a seven-inch section that had been gnawed through, the rest of the snake was intact, and it was even bigger than the last one.

Qian Sangui laughed and praised them, instructing someone to coil the dead snake in the yard and send someone to hurry to the county city to fetch Old Master Zhang.

Qian Yixiu told the animals of the House of Animals to go and take a bath in the creek first while she personally started cooking something delicious for them.

Two hours later, Zhang Zhongkun was brought over. He happily had someone remove the snake’s gallbladder and task Huang Hua and others to skin the snake.

Seeing that all the members of the House of Animals were waiting and watching the delicious meal with glowing eyes, Qian Sangui had someone give them a large portion of the snake meat to eat.

Zhang Zhongkun exclaimed with a smile, "You really know what’s good. Having eaten two such treasures, your lives will likely be extended by another two years."

While the front yard was bustling with activity, three guards from Prince Ning Mansion arrived. One of them, Guard Yin, asked, "Master Qian, is this big snake truly the Golden Black Dragon Snake, also known as the Double-Headed Golden Crow Snake?"

Qian Sangui nodded, "Yes, it is."

Upon hearing this, Guard Yin clapped his hands in delight and bowed with his fists, saying, "Our prince, due to staying in the Northland for too long, has come down with chronic cold-induced arthritis that has been unable to be cured. The Imperial Physician said that with the Double-Headed Golden Crow Snake’s gallbladder as a medicine guide, this ailment could be cured."

Zhang Zhongkun added, "The gallbladder of the Golden Black Dragon Snake is the best remedy for dispelling wind and cold; it can indeed cure chronic cold-induced arthritis."

Qian Sangui joyfully said, "Then I must trouble Guard Yin to make haste to the Capital City and deliver this medicine to Prince Ning."

Guard Yin bowed with his fists and replied, "Then I shall thank Master Qian on behalf of my prince; I will set out right now." After speaking, he took the gallbladder.

Zhang Zhongkun requested a snake head and half of the snake bones. He asked Qian Sangui to stew the snake head for the Old woman Qian to drink for several days, which would be beneficial for her health. He also advised Qian Sangui to soak half of the snake bones in alcohol, grind the remaining half to powder to be taken every few days, which would help strengthen the body.

There was some snake meat left, so Qian Sangui had the kitchen cook it in a red-braised style and called Old man Qian to join them for a meal, along with Zhang Zhongkun.

After that day, Qian Yixiu forbade the House of Animals from entering the mountains again. She figured that Little Daddy would be coming to pick them up soon. This time, both Dashan and White Wolf expressed that they would go with them to the Capital City, pay a visit to Zhu Sujin, and then return.

On July 28th, Qian Manjiang and Wan Dazhong finally came back.

Accompanying them were Protectorate General Pan Yang, as well as eunuchs from the palace, soldiers from the Imperial Army, several officials from the provincial capital, and the Master County Magistrate of Xishan County.

A procession of more than two hundred people traveled through Huaxi Village and arrived on the wasteland in front of Guiyuan. Wang Lizheng and Wan Lizheng from Darong Village, recognizing the Master County Magistrate, quickly followed to Guiyuan.

Qian Manjiang, dressed in the uniform of a fourth-rank military officer, didn’t have time to catch up with his family upon his return. First, he had people set up an altar in the front courtyard, then he went to the main courtyard to carry Old woman Qian out, calling Qian Sangui and the other family members to join her in the front courtyard.

Given Cheng Yue’s special circumstances and the fear that she might be startled, she stayed in the inner courtyard with Ming Wa and Jingjing. The Little Monk was also at the Qian house; upon hearing the news, he ran to Wangjiang Building to comfort Cheng Yue and the two little siblings.

Once the altar was properly set up and all of Qian’s third wife’s family, except for Cheng Yue and her children, had gathered, they knelt down together.

An eunuch began reading the imperial edict aloud, "By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the Qian Sangui family from Huaxi Village, Xishan County of Ji’an Province, are kind and benevolent, with hearts full of compassion... "

The edict praised the Qian family, mentioning how a family of such humble means could treat the unexpectedly lost Imperial Grandson Zhu Sujin and the daughter of the Elder Princess, Commandery Princess Zhen Yue, as close kin. For over a decade, they didn’t leave them, which moved and comforted the Emperor. All this is due to the family head Qian Sangui’s excellent upbringing and management. Hence, Qian Sangui was specially ennobled as Lord Xiangen.

This result moved Qian Sangui to tears. He never imagined that he, a crippled peasant, would one day be awarded an ennoblement, an honor even greater than what his son, who faced life and death on the battlefield, had achieved. He knelt on the ground crying, repeatedly exclaiming, "Thank you, Your Majesty... thank you, Your Majesty..."

Qian Manjiang quickly helped his father up and whispered, "Father, hurry and receive the imperial edict."

Only then did Qian Sangui wipe away his tears and stand to receive the imperial edict.

The eunuch subsequently read out three more imperial edicts. Old woman Qian and Lady Wu were both granted the title of Madam Bo, and Qian Manxia was conferred the title of fourth-rank Consort Gong Ren.

The women were also overcome with excitement. Especially Old woman Qian, who was so moved she cried. Finally, she managed to utter two words, "Jinwa..."

She felt that this title of Madam Bo was fought for by Jinwa.

In the end, the Emperor also awarded Qian’s third wife’s family a plaque inscribed with the title: House of Loyalty.

Qian Yijin turned out to be the Imperial Grandson! Silly Lady Cheng turned out to be a Commandery Princess! Due to the merits of Qian’s third wife’s family, Qian Sangui was ennobled as Lord Xiangen, Lady Wu was granted the title of Madam Bo, and Qian Manxia, because her male relative became a fourth-rank officer, was also ennobled as a Wife of the Imperial decree, even Old woman Qian was ennobled as Madam Bo...

There’s no need to describe how jubilant Qian’s third wife’s family was, how they all rejoiced as a reunited family. The news was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking Huaxi Village to its core, then spreading even further, turning the neighboring villages upside down.

Old man Qian was nearly ecstatic with joy, what a glory for the entire Qian household. At last, the Qian family had prospered and risen.

But after the joy came a tinge of disappointment; his wife had been ennobled as Madam Bo, so why hadn’t he been ennobled like his son with some title? Wondering if perhaps the Emperor was too busy and had simply forgotten about him, he thought that he should remind his son or grandson to bring it up if they ever had the fortune to meet the Emperor again.
