Volume 5 Dissipate the melancholy Chapter 37 Go to the grave to see your father and bury the trouble, go home to meet the family
In the old house in the capital, Cai Yuanlang, Cai Yuanxi stayed until the evening, and on the way back to the pavilion, he found a restaurant and had dinner
The two talked and laughed, and before they knew it, it was late at night when they returned to the pavilion
Cai Yuanxi glanced at the child and went back to sleep
The next day, after eating, Cai Yuanlang instructed his family to go to Jeju, the capital of Shandong
There were more than 20 vehicles and more than 30 people along the way
Passing by Cheng'an County, the daimyo prefecture, I stayed at the pavilion
The sky was slightly bright, and Cai Yuanlang said to Cai Yuanxi, I want to go back to my hometown to see, I want to pay tribute to my father's grave
Cai Yuanxi said, there are so many of us, can we go and see it soon? You're not afraid of being known, you're guilty of bullying the king?
Cai Yuanlang said, we bring these people with us are border people, they don't know my story at all, and if we go to the grave, we will take our children with us, and we will not bring any family members, who will know?
Cai Yuanxi said, I think it's better to go back to Shandong to visit your father first, and you can come over and go to your father's grave yourself
Cai Yuenlong said, you don't love me
Cai Yuanxi lay in Cai Yuanlang's arms and said, I am all for your good and for our family
Cai Yuanlang said, it's okay, just take a sneak look, kowtow and come back
Cai Yuanxi felt that Cai Yuanlang was too embarrassed and angry, so he sat up and said, do you have to take me and the child there? Isn't it good for me to go with you?
Cai Yuanlang said, I want to take you and the children to your hometown again, so that those who look down on me know that the once little beggar is now married, and the former little beggar also marries a wife and has children
Cai Yuanxi slapped Cai Yuanlang and said, I really don't understand you
Tell your family to prepare a carriage
After breakfast, Cai Yuanxi and a few children sat in the carriage, a family drove the carriage, Cai Yuanlang rode a high-headed horse, and the family came to Songjia Village, Cheng'an County
Five years have passed, and Songjia Village no longer exists, leaving only a piece of ruins and broken tiles
It seems that the idea of showing off in front of the villagers is no longer possible
Cai Yuanlang could only find the house he lived in, and after a glance, the home address was still there, but the family was almost separated, Cai Yuanlang sighed, and then led his family out of the village to find his father's grave
The grave was already overgrown with weeds, Cai Yuanlang pulled out the weeds in front of the grave, served a few dishes, three glasses of wine, and kowtowed respectfully
Mrs. Cai Yuanxi guided the two children, Cai Wenqi and Cai Wenxu to kowtow
Cai Wenqi was curious and asked Cai Yuanxi, Mom, who is this? Why did Dad kowtow to him?
Cai Yuanxi said, this is your uncle, your grandfather's younger brother
After going to the grave, the family and the housekeeper returned to the Cheng'an County Pavilion Station
Then he set off to Jeju Mansion, Shandong Prefecture, and entered the Jeju border, and saw a group of people waiting at the gate of the city from afar
Cai Yuanlang took a closer look, it was actually the eldest sister Cai Yuanjuan, and the eldest brother-in-law Hu Dingwang, leading a group of family members to wait there
Cai Yuanlang hurriedly greeted Cai Yuanxi in the carriage, Yuanxi, look, the eldest sister at the city gate, the eldest brother-in-law is waiting for us
Cai Yuanxi was very excited in his heart, holding the child Cai Wenxun, and kept urging the carriage to hurry up
At first glance, it was Cai Yuanlang and everyone, the eldest sister Cai Yuanjuan, and the eldest brother-in-law Hu Dingwang, who greeted them from afar
When they got closer, Cai Yuanlang dismounted and kowtowed, Cai Yuanjuan, and Hu Dingwang hurriedly picked it up, and saw his sister Cai Yuanxi again
Cai Yuanjuan, Cai Yuanxi, hugged and cried
Seeing the sisters crying with joy, Hu Dingwang took Cai Yuanlang's hand, go, let their sisters cry, let's go first
Cai Yuenlong said well
led the convoy into the city gate and rushed straight to the governor Cai Bingren's mansion
did not arrive at the door, but saw Governor Cai Bingren, and Mrs. Xu led the family to greet him at the door
Cai Yuanlang hurriedly ran over, picked up his clothes and knelt down and said, the unfilial son Cai Yuanlang has seen his father
Cai Bingren laughed and helped Cai Yuanlang up, son, it's good to come back, it's good to come back
Xu Shidao, let me see, let me take a good look, how is my son? Then he measured it for a long time, and said, "Son, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown taller and stronger."
Cai Yuenlang smiled
Cai Bingren looked behind him and said, what about your wife Cai Yuanxi and the children?
She and her sister Cai Yuanjuan are behind, the sisters are talking about homely things, they haven't seen each other for so long, and the sisters have a lot to say
At this time, the second sister Cai Yuanya and the second brother-in-law Le Jishan also came over to hug their fists and salute, and Cai Yuanlang also saw the salute one by one
The second sister summoned a few more children to kowtow to the third uncle Cai Yuanlang
Cai Yuenlong picked up the children
Suddenly, someone outside the courtyard shouted, my third brother is back, why didn't anyone go to the mansion to tell me. With the voice, a young general of twenty-one or twelve, wearing chain armor and a shiny silver helmet, walked into the courtyard
Seeing Cai Yuanlang, he knelt down in his robe, and the fourth brother Cai Yuanchen kowtowed to the third brother Cai Yuanlang
Cai Yuanlang hurriedly helped Cai Yuanchen up, looked at it carefully, and said, is this still our old Cai family Yuanchen? How did you grow so tall? When I see you, how do I feel old?
The eldest brother-in-law, Hu Dingwang, flickered, remembered all the past events, and said, it's not that the third brother is old, but the younger brother has grown up
The family laughed
At this time, the eldest sister Cai Yuanjuan and Cai Yuanxi walked into the courtyard from the outside
Seeing his father Cai Bingren, Cai Yuanxi quickly approached, lifted his clothes and knelt down, and shouted, Dad!
Cai Bingren burst into tears, picked up Cai Yuanxi and said, son, my son, I haven't seen him for many years, and I want to die as a father
Mrs. Meng hurriedly walked out of the crowd, picked up Cai Yuanxi, and cried loudly, son, my good girl, I have missed my mother all these years, you have been gone for so many years, do you know how my mother and I lived?
Cai Yuanxi said, my son hasn't come back all these years, are you okay?
It's okay, it's okay, Meng wiped his tears
At this time, the fourth brother Cai Yuanchen also came over to kowtow to his sister Cai Yuanxi
The family entered Cai's mansion and talked about homely things
(Cai Yuanxi, the fourth in the family, can only hide her identity because of her identity, and the fifth Cai Yuanchen replaced her fourth position, so Cai Yuanchen can only call herself the fourth)
