Mrs. Kang sorted out her thoughts and said slowly: "Your father went to Beijing to take the exam this time, and if he had divine help, he went all the way smoothly and went directly to the palace exam. The emperor at that time was a new emperor, and he worked hard to govern the country, and he was a corporal of courtesy. In front of the civil and military ministers, your father talked eloquently, showed his majesty, and said dozens of strategies for governing the country. The new emperor was overjoyed, and on the spot, your father was the first champion, and he was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Since then, your father has been on the rise, until he later became the prime minister. ”

"It is said that after your father became an official, he was extremely busy, and with the support of the new emperor, he immediately launched a reform movement and carried out reforms. In the middle, it was opposed and constrained by many conservatives. It was a very difficult process. Although your father sometimes misses his brother-in-law Dong Yiwang, and has also been to a few letters, but they are all like a stone in the sea, and your father is worried about state affairs, and he has not been able to go back to that small village to see it in person. ”

"Later, your father's official became bigger and bigger, and his affairs became more and more complicated, but he still did not forget his righteous brother, and sent people back to the small mountain village to pick him up, but the people sent there went in vain, bringing bad news. It is said that once Dong Yiwang went out to sea to fish and met pirates, and some of the fishermen who went with him jumped into the sea and escaped, but he was caught by pirates and has not been heard from since, thinking that he has been victimized by pirates. ”

When your father heard the news, he cried three times, vomited blood and fell. Later, he was rescued by the imperial doctor and treated for several months before he got better. Your father ordered someone to choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers outside the city, build a mound of clothes, and go to worship and sweep before Qingming every year. ”

"At that time, I didn't know your father, and these were all things he mentioned to me when we were chatting idle after we got married, and he said that this righteous brother was his great benefactor and the person he was most sorry for. After so many years, your father's thoughts about Dong Yiwang have never been broken, and he will cry silently every time he mentions it. ”

The Ruyi girl on the side suddenly knelt down for Mrs. Kang with a puff, and said with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, I blamed you for my mistake!"

Mrs. Kang hurriedly picked up Ruyi, cried and said, "Child, we are sorry for you, we have made you suffer all these years. Later, what happened to your father, tell your aunt quickly. ”

Dong Ruyi sat next to Mrs. Kang, wiped away her tears and said: "My father was indeed captured by pirates back then, he was in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the prime of life, the pirates saw that he was strong and good at boating and fishing, so they left him behind and brought him back to the island where the pirates lived, and this stay was thirty years. In the meantime, he tried to escape several times, but the pirates were very well guarded, and he almost lost his life because of it. Later, a few heroines came to the island, killed all the pirates, and rescued the people who were trapped on the island like my father, and my father sailed away from the pirate island and returned to the small mountain village where he lived. ”

"After returning to the village, my father was more than 60 years old, and he was matched to marry my mother, and then I was born. I remember when I was a child, my father often told my mother and me about Uncle Kang, and he also asked someone to inquire about Uncle Kang's whereabouts. My father was very happy, but my mother said that now I am afraid that people will not remember our friendship. Dad said never, Uncle Kang is not that kind of person. ”

"In the second year, my father personally went to Zhongjing, brought the specialties of his hometown, and wanted to see Uncle Kang, but three times in a row, he was turned away by the family who guarded the door. The last time I was almost beaten. Dad thought to himself that Uncle Kang had forgotten his brother when he was poor after he got his will, so he had no choice but to return to his hometown. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Kang interjected: "It's all because we didn't use people well at that time, the gatekeeper relied on himself to be the porter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, bullied the people, and didn't give him a gift. I didn't expect it to be a big delay!"

When everyone heard it, it turned out that there were still these twists and turns in the middle, which was really a mistake!
