Wang Yugui invited Master Zhou to go with him to see the bride off. Master Zhou happily went along and said with a smile, "That's just right. I was originally going to Xiaoao Village to watch the ceremony. It's rare to see a top scholar worshipping heaven and earth. Ah, haha!"

Mr. Ling, Mr. Tan, Mr. Lu and others also drove to Xiaoao Village to watch the ceremony.

Not only them, but also Magistrate Ouyang and all the officials of the county government came uninvited and went to Xiaoao Village to congratulate the top scholar.

Suddenly, Xiaoao Village was bustling with activity. The villagers were even more excited than the groom. They had never seen so many prominent adults and gentlemen come to the village...

The seventh uncle excitedly kowtowed again and again in front of the ancestors. Because the Chunsheng brothers were getting married, the Lu family members even specially opened a ancestral hall.

When Wang Yugui arrived at Xiaoao Village and saw this grand occasion, he was also surprised. It was true that a rich man living in the mountains is known to others. Chunsheng is really no longer the same as before!

However, there are so many officials and gentry coming to give gifts. How should Chunsheng respond?

Wang Yugui was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard someone at the door of Lu's house shouting, "Master Lu has said that all officials, colleagues, or wealthy gentry who come to congratulate us will be thanked by our master. Please take a seat. We don't need to accept any gifts. Please take them home with you!"

Haha, Wang Yugui laughed after hearing this, Oh, Lord Lu, isn’t it Chunsheng?

Only treating guests and not accepting gifts, this is a very avant-garde practice even in the modern world. I didn’t expect that Chunsheng, an ancient official, also used this practice!

"Excellent!" After hearing this, Master Zhou also praised it and said with a smile: "As expected of Chunsheng, this trick is really great! It saves us a lot of arguments!"

"Gossip?" Wang Yugui frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Zhou.

Master Zhou smiled and whispered, "My dear brother, you don't know that many eyes in the court are staring at the people in our Hanlin Academy."

"Youqi is a close minister to the emperor like Chunsheng, and some boring censors are eager to find fault with him!"

Wang Yugui frowned slightly after hearing this. After hearing what Master Zhou said, he probably understood. It seemed that the court was not peaceful.

Then Master Zhou said, "Oh, that's good now. Chunsheng's move is clean and neat. The censors who like to find fault will be speechless. Haha!"

As he spoke, he sighed, "Luckily, I got married before I was listed on the list. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to keep a low profile and would definitely be criticized by some censors!"

As the two were talking, one of Chunsheng's followers came over in a hurry and said to them with a smile: "Master Uncle, Master Zhou, the newlyweds are about to perform the ceremony. Please come to the front and watch the ceremony."

"Okay" Wang Yugui and Zhou Gongzi nodded and smiled after hearing this.

Arriving at the main hall, the two couples began to perform the ceremony, worshipping heaven and earth, and paying respect to their ancestors. The ceremony was over...

After watching the ceremony, Wang Yugui led the wedding procession back to Wangtian County first. Master Zhou, Mr. Ling, Magistrate Ouyang and others stayed behind to drink the wedding wine.

The next day, everyone returned to Wangtian County and went to Wang's house to drink at the wedding...

Three days later, the two couples returned home and the Wang residence was bustling with activity for another day. After all the happy events were completed and they cleaned up a bit, it was time for the Lantern Festival.

Because Mr. and Mrs. Ling and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou came, Wang Yugui and Miss Tan were also very busy during this Lantern Festival.

It was not until the end of the first month and the beginning of February that things gradually subsided and returned to normal.

That day, Wang Yugui got up early, practiced a set of Tai Chi in the back garden, played with his son, and went to the winery after breakfast.

I always felt like I had dropped something on the road, but I couldn't remember what it was at the moment.

In the evening, when I returned home, I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t seen Ah Huang all day!

"Ms. Tan, where is Ah Huang?" Wang Yugui asked Miss Tan hurriedly. Miss Tan looked around and then looked into the yard. She frowned slightly and said, "Oh, I didn't notice him. I don't think I saw Ah Huang today."

"Did he go out to play somewhere? Maybe he's at his mother's place in the front yard?"

Wang Yugui frowned. Ah Huang was a bit free and easy on weekdays. He would go out to play sometimes, but he could be seen every morning and evening.

No wonder I felt like something was missing when I went out this morning. It turned out that I didn’t see Ah Huang!

"I'll go look for it!" Wang Yugui stood up and went to Wang's place in the front yard.

Wang Yugui went to the front yard and looked around, but didn't see Ah Huang.

Wang heard this and frowned, "Ah, Gui'er, now that you've called me, I've remembered that it's not just today, it's been several days since I last saw Ah Huang!"

Wang Yugui recalled carefully and it was true. This year, there was a wedding at home in the first month of the year and he had no free time to entertain relatives and friends.

I go out often, and I haven't seen Ah Huang for several days.

"Madam, Master, I remember that on the day when the eldest and second young ladies got married, Ah Huang was still there," Ah Lian said.

He added: "It followed the two young ladies' sedan chair for quite a while!"

"Oh, could it be that Ah Huang went to Xiaoao Village to visit his elder and second younger sisters?" Wang was puzzled.

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this and said, "No way, I didn't see it following me when I sent my bride off!"

"Besides, I didn't hear them mention it when the eldest and second sisters came back!"

"Oh, where is Ah Huang?" Wang frowned and said, "He must have gone out to play somewhere and will be back soon!"

Wang Yugui nodded and thought, Ah Huang is not an ordinary dog, he will definitely not get lost, nor will he fall into the trap of dog thieves.

Although he thought so, Wang Yugui felt very bad. He hadn't seen him for several days, which was very abnormal.

After dinner, Ah Huang still hadn't returned, and Wang Yugui became anxious. Miss Tan hurriedly asked Uncle Fu to send people to look for him everywhere.

"Oh, Ah Huang is usually quite smart, so he shouldn't be unaware that he has to go home at night." Miss Tan frowned.

He looked at Wang Yugui and asked, "Brother Gui, how old is Ah Huang?"

"Ah? How old? I, I can't remember clearly." Wang Yugui said, looking at Wang: "Mom, do you know?"

Wang frowned slightly and recalled: "How old is Ah Huang, I can't tell for sure."

"But, mother remembers that when Grandma Wang raised it, you seemed to be about five or six years old, and you used to play with it when you were a child!"

"Oh, when you were five or six years old..." Miss Tan counted with her fingers: "Brother, you are twenty-four this year, so Ah Huang is probably eighteen or nineteen years old, right?"

At this point, Miss Tan frowned again: "Oh, that Huang is not young anymore!"

"Yes, Miss, a dog of eighteen or nineteen is an old dog," said Po.

Then he looked at Miss Tan and said, "Miss, do you remember that the master also had a big yellow dog?"

"The master even gave it a name, Huzi!"

"Yes, I remember." Miss Tan nodded and sighed, "Unfortunately, Hu Zi died when I was ten years old!"

"Oh, how come it's gone?" Wang asked hurriedly.
