After Xiang Yan and Shuang'er arrived in Yangzhou, they first found an inn to live in, and then went out to inquire about the location of Lichun Courtyard, but the people Xiang Yan asked said that Xiang Yan was not good at learning at a young age, and he went to the kiln at a young age, so he not only did not tell Xiang Yan the place but gave Xiang Yan a lot of blank eyes. Xiang Yan had to buy a set of old clothes from the market, tore them in several places, trampled them on the ground, and poured a lot of lamp oil, making them filthy and greasy. He also replaced his hats, shoes, and socks with cheap and inferior goods, and covered his face and hands with dust, pretending to be a beggar. I only told people that my family was affected by the disaster and wanted to go to my relatives who were working as servants in Lichun Courtyard, so I found out where Lichun Courtyard was.

Xiang Yan came to the outside of Lichun Courtyard, and saw that Lichun Courtyard was full of people coming and going, and it was very lively. Xiang Yan didn't dare to enter through the main entrance, so he came to the side of the courtyard, pushed open the side door, and slipped in—Wei Xiaobao drew a simple map for Xiang Yan, which indicated the topography of Lichun Courtyard and Wei Chunhua's residence. Xiang Yan tiptoed outside Wei Chunhua's room and heard a low sobbing sound coming from inside. Xiang Yan pushed the door into the house, only to see that the room was quite simple, with only a table, a large and a small bed, and a cabinet. The bedding on the bed was shabby, just the pulp was clean. There was a middle-aged woman sitting on a large bed crying.

When the woman heard the movement, she raised her head, and when she saw Xiang Yan, she was taken aback, wiped her tears, and said, "Child, are you hungry?" He pointed to the table and said, "There is a plate of ham slices on the table, you can take it and eat it!" Xiang Yan didn't know if the person in front of him was Wei Chunhua, so he asked respectfully: "Auntie, do you know Wei Xiaobao?" ”

The woman's tears flowed down suddenly, she got up from the bed, walked up to Xiang Yan, grabbed Xiang Yan's hands, and said excitedly: "I am Wei Xiaobao's mother." Child, have you ever seen my little treasure? Where is he now? Is he okay? Xiang Yan pulled out his hands, took out Wei Xiaobao's longevity lock, and said, "Do you know this?" The woman said, "This is the longevity lock I asked for for Xiaobao from the temple." ”

After confirming that the woman in front of him was Wei Xiaobao's mother Wei Chunhua, Xiang Yan relieved himself and said, "Auntie, I am Xiaobao's friend." I tell you, please don't worry about him, he will come back to see you when he is done. Wei Chunhua burst into tears and said, "How can I not be worried? You don't know that since Xiaobao disappeared, I have been looking for him everywhere in Yangzhou City, praying to God and worshiping Buddha everywhere. I don't know how many wishes I made and how many kowtows. How is Xiaobao now? Where is he now? ”

Xiang Yan told Wei Chunhua everything after he met Wei Xiaobao. When Wei Chunhua heard that Wei Xiaobao had become a eunuch, she exclaimed. Later, I heard that this eunuch was fake, so I was relieved. Later, I heard that Wei Xiaobao became a celebrity around the emperor, became a big official, and made a fortune, but I just felt like in a dream.

After Xiang Yan finished speaking, Wei Chunhua still didn't believe it, and said, "What you said is really my little treasure?" What can he do so much? Xiang Yan told Wei Chunhua some things that Wei Xiaobao told him about Wei Xiaobao when he was a child, which made Wei Chunhua believe that Xiang Yan was talking about her son.

Wei Chunhua shed tears again and said, "This kid must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot after doing so many great things, right?" Xiang Yan said: "Aunt, don't worry, Xiaobao is now a celebrity by the emperor's side, he has become a big official, he has made a fortune, everything is fine, just wait for him to come to see you when he is free." By the way, he also found you a daughter-in-law, and came with me. ”

Wei Chunhua said happily: "This little monkey has also found a daughter-in-law?" Where is my daughter-in-law now? Xiang Yan said: "She stayed in the inn and didn't come with her." I'm going to bring her over to you now? Wei Chunhua shook her head and said, "No, no, it's not good for her to come to the kiln from a girl's house, so I'll go see her." Little brother, you wait for me for a while. Wei Chunhua stood up and walked out of the house, and returned to the house after a while. He said, "I have asked the bustard for leave, let's go meet my daughter-in-law now." ”

Xiang Yan took Wei Chunhua to the inn, entered the room first, and said, "Shuang'er, your mother-in-law has come to see you." Wei Chunhua entered the room, and Shuang'er immediately stepped forward and kowtowed, saying, "Servant Shuang'er, knock to see Mrs." Wei Chunhua looked Shuang'er up and down for a while, and said with a smile: "Why do you call me Mrs.?" Why don't you call me mother-in-law? Shuang'er said: "Xiang Gongzi is talking nonsense, and the maid is just a maid of the father-in-law." Xiang Yan smiled: "Then don't call your mother-in-law for the time being, and call your mother-in-law in the future." Shuang'er's face turned red and she lowered her head.

Wei Chunhua pulled Shuang'er to speak. Shuang'er took out a handful of silver tickets from his arms and said, "Mrs., there are 100,000 taels of silver tickets here, which are filial piety to you." When the prime minister is done, he will come back to visit you. ”

When he left the Shaolin Temple, Wei Xiaobao gave Xiang Yan 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and asked Xiang Yan to transfer the silver tickets to Wei Chunhua. On the way, Xiang Yan thought twice, handed over the silver ticket to Shuang'er, and asked Shuang'er to hand over the silver ticket to curry favor with Wei Chunhua.
