- Although they traveled for a few days at night, the mission enjoyed the highest level of post treatment, and along the way, there were fast horses to the front station, to the post for dinner, to change horses every day, on the wide and flat official road of the Great Song Dynasty, the fastest day travel 200 miles.

Seven days later, they caught up with the Su father and son. Su Xun also had a post ticket issued by the Ministry of War, but after receiving three mules from the post station out of Beijing, no one changed them for them.

Chen Ke asked people to set aside three horses and carry the three of them, and along the way, Sansu was in a heavy mood and said little, just hurrying with his head bored.

Crossing the Qinling Mountains, piercing the Sword Pavilion, trekking through mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, at the end of March, finally arrived at the city of Chengdu. Otherwise, it is too much of a test of one's body and will.

When he arrived in Chengdu and Wang Jue's hometown, he really needed to rest, second, he wanted to go home to see, and third, he also took care of Chen Ke, so he offered to rest for three days.

Chen Ke took the lead with his father-in-law's wife and uncle, while Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu and others stayed to rest and recuperate, play in Chengdu, Huazhongjin Guancheng, and set off to join Chen Ke three days later.

A day later, in the early morning, mist shrouded Meishan City, and the official boat taken by Chen Ke and the Su family's father and son quietly arrived at the dock. Because they came so quickly, that the local government and squires were still in the dark, there was no welcoming scene of thousands of empty alleys.

But the vendors who came to the dock to buy goods still recognized Su Laoquan, who was born and grew up in Si.

"Ah, this is not Master Su'......" The vendors were surprised and came up to pay their respects. At the same time as the gold list was spread, the Ministry of Rites also sent the good news to the hometown of the new science and technology scholars, and everyone in Meizhou knew that Su Laoquan's son-in-law and son-in-law were all high schools. His son-in-law even won the top prize in the current department.

This is the first champion of the four roads in the whole Sichuan of the National Dynasty!

Such a grand event is naturally all over Sichuan and has the honor of these days. Yamen and large households from all over the state have come to Meishan to congratulate, and Meishan people are deeply honored. But there are no lanterns on the street that must be tied during celebrations. Instead, they hung white flags and banners......

When Su Xun got off the boat, he saw a banner that read: "Peach and plum are fragrant, and the world is deze......"

"Old Man Su's Day Mourning ......"

"Alas......" The last glimmer of hope was shattered, Su Xun was like being hit by a sledgehammer, his eyes were black, and he was unconscious.

Chen Ke saw him crumbling early, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug his father-in-law.

"Mother, my son is back......" Su Shi and Su Zhe threw away the burden on their backs. And he cried and cried. Sent enough to run home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Shayan Alley, it has become a world of white flowers. According to custom, every official and gentry who came to mourn would send a banner. I couldn't put it in the mourning hall, so I put it in the courtyard. If it couldn't be placed in the courtyard, it was placed outside the gate, and later, the entire alley was filled with spirit flags and banners.

Chen Ke got out of the carriage with Su Xun in his arms, and he felt his father-in-law trembling all over, his eyes were straight, and he was so sad that he wanted to turn his back and hurriedly pinch his people. Su Xun let out a long breath, and tears flowed down like a. Breaking away from Chen Ke's hand, he walked home with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and muttered: "It's all me, it's all my ......"

In the courtyard, Su Shi's brothers had already fallen to the ground, crawling and crying. Climbed in front of the coffin of the deceased mother: "Mother, wake up, your unfilial son has come back to see you." When you were leaving, didn't you tell me in person that you must see our high school jinshi and come back in style? "However, now that your son is finally hit, you are lying here and never look at your son again, and the child has not honored you for a day......"

The sound of sorrow came from it, like a cuckoo crying blood, which provoked the women in the room to cry again. ..., Chen Ke was full of tears, but his eyes were not on the coffin, but on the haggard man in Tsing Yi who was thinner than Huanghua.

The man also looked at him with tears in his eyes, the two stared at her for a long time, Chen Ke really wanted to hug her, so that he could comfort her, but here and now, he could only restrain his emotions, strode over, grabbed her cold little hand, and passed on warmth to her.

Feeling her lover's body temperature, the tears that made the little sister cry dry for a long time poured down again, she gently leaned on Chen Ke's shoulder, and sobbed silently.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon, the men changed into white filial piety clothes, draped in their hair and barefoot, even Chen Ke was no exception. After offering sacrifices in front of the spirit, Su Shi's wife, Wang Fu, told the men about her mother-in-law's death from illness.

It turned out that after the men in their family went to the capital for a scientific expedition, only one mother-in-law was left in the Su family in Meishan to lead two daughters and two daughters-in-law to live. After her husband and sons went out, her mother-in-law Cheng's health deteriorated rapidly until she died of a serious illness and died in middle age.

The most regrettable thing is that Cheng didn't wait for the good news that her sons were both in high school, she worked hard to serve her husband and educate her son, but she couldn't wait for the day of comfort, and the world mourned nothing more than this!

In fact, the Cheng family was actually sick before the father and son left home, and the root cause of the disease can be traced back to the completion of the 'Su Family Genealogy Pavilion Monument', which was a cruel blow to the Cheng family!

Later, Cheng Shengren, who put forward the slogan of "three obedience and four virtues", has just been admitted to the Tongjinshi, although the women of the Song Dynasty put their husbands and children first after marriage, but the relationship with their mother's family is still close, which is reflected in the law...... Not only the maiden, but also those who are divorced or return home without children and widows have the right to inherit their parents' property.

And even if she is a married woman, she actually has the right to inherit the family property, but the part that belongs to her has been given in advance through the situation of dowry. Therefore, after the dowry of the female family in the Song Dynasty, sometimes it even exceeded the entire property of the husband's family, but the right to use and control these dowries belonged to the woman, and if the woman unfortunately died, the husband's family had to return it to her mother's family.

Therefore, the women of the Song Dynasty were not like the later generations, and the daughter who married out spilled the water. His relationship with his mother's family is quite similar to Chen Ke's original era. Although Mrs. Cheng's dowry has already been subsidized for the family, her affection for her mother's family is unlikely to be exhausted because of this.

But Su Xun, who has an arrogant and extreme temperament, took the most drastic way to take revenge on the Cheng family. He publicly announced that he would cut off all contact with his son-in-law's family and his father-in-law's family, and wrote poems to curse the Cheng family, but this did not make Su Xun relieve his hatred, and he actually used the method of erecting a monument to nail the Cheng family to the pillar of shame forever.

He himself was happy, but he didn't take care of his wife, and she was also the woman of the Cheng family, who was 'ugly and famous'! Caught in the middle, Mrs. Cheng not only grieved for her daughter's suffering, but also grieved that the two families had become enemies, and broke off the relationship with her mother's family. But to serve her husband and manage the marriage of her two sons, she was still able to hold on to her will, and when they left, as soon as she was free, Cheng fell ill, and she called for famous doctors for a year, but she did not save her life.

It's just that before she died, none of her husband and son were by her side, how could she be safe?

In the next two days, the father and son of the Su family were immersed in the grief of jealousy, for Su Shi and Su Zhe, for more than 20 years, almost all of them were raised and educated by their mothers, thinking of her sewing clothes under the lamp, and thinking of her enlightenment childhood. Mother's love is like the sea, endless, but now it is close at hand, life and death are at a loss, seeing the coffin and thinking about people, how can it not make people feel like burning, tears and rain?

Especially the affectionate Su Zizhan, he entered the department just to meet the expectations of his parents, and now he has completed the long-cherished wish of the whole family in high school, but he can't do a little bit of the love of the son of the son of the high hall for his mother's soup, how can he accept this? Since returning home, he has not eaten or drunk, and has not left the front of Xian Yanling for a moment, crying and fainting several times. …,

The day of the burial was set for two days later, and in these two days, officials from nearby and Benzhou counties came to pay respects, and the father and son of the Su family were immersed in great grief, and the task of ushering in the delivery fell on Chen Ke. Of course, the officials don't think it's rude, in fact, most of the reason they came for him.

It was easy to survive two days later, on the third day of the fourth month, and the coffin was carried out of the Su Mansion. As the eldest son, Su Shi took the lead, and Su Xun and Chen Ke also followed in linen filial piety clothes. With the current status of the Su family, the Su family naturally dispatched the whole family, and the funeral procession was two miles long, even catching up with the grand occasion of the funeral of the old man Su back then.

In the sad mourning music, paper money was all over the sky, and the team slowly went out of the city and arrived at the old Weng Spring of the Su clan tomb outside the city. When the monument was erected, Su Xun chose a cemetery for himself, but he never expected that he would let his wife lie in first.

In the valley, the green mountains and clear waters, the flowers and trees are flourishing, and the genealogy pavilion is still as new, protecting the stone monument inside. Su Xun didn't have the courage to look at the stone tablet, and crossed over this 'masterpiece' that made him pay the heaviest price with a sideways face.

In front of the cemetery, the grave well has been dug, and when the hour comes, the coffin is carried into the grave and placed, and then filled with soil, and the funeral ceremony is over...... As for building a tomb and erecting a monument, we have to wait until the old spring lies in it in the future.

There are no tombstones, but there are memorial texts. Su Xun held the coffin and burned several pages of blood-vomited sacrificial texts while groaning sadly:

"Woohoo! Be good with your son, and you will be in love for a hundred years. I don't know the middle way, abandon me first. I am a master in Beijing, and I should return it not far away. It didn't take a moment to go. The son will not return, and I will mourn forever...... People also have a saying, death and life are short and long. If you don't want it, who should you avoid? I am a sad son, born in a hundred calamities......"

“…… When he returned empty, he couldn't cry and saw anyone. Sad old things, feeling diligent. Sigh to the old, all over the world. Since the death of his son, he has lost a good friend. Living alone all day long, who has been? ”

"In the past, he was a young man, wandering and not learning, although the son did not speak, he was unhappy. I know my son's heart, and I am worried that I am gone. Sigh for the fold to this day. Woohoo is dead, and you can't get it again! ”

“…… There is Panqi Hill, but the grave of the son. It is a two-room room, and the period is the same as that of the child. Flesh and bones return to the earth, and the soul is all gone. I have returned to my old house, and nothing has changed. The soul is not lost, and it will not be ...... in the future"——
