It just so happened that the Su family had not returned to Xiangzhou for a long time. When Su's father and mother passed away, their bodies were transported back to Xiangzhou, returning to their roots.
Since Su Wan and Jiang Yu were ready to go back, the whole family made an appointment to go back together to pay homage to their parents and ancestors.
My uncle and aunt have also passed away one after another, and they have to go to pay homage. I sent a letter to inform Yang Qingqing and her cousin-in-law.
The cousin-in-law is now serving as the governor of Xiangzhou. The year Murong Huai first ascended the throne, he passed the imperial examination and passed the second place, and then worked as an official all the way, and now he has reached the position of governor.
They were staying at the place arranged by their cousin-in-law for the time being, and the whole family went on a grand trip, with more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages.
This time, they also brought their respective daughters, sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law with them.
The eldest brother's son is already married to a well-known lady, but his daughter Su Wenhua has not yet grown hair, so she has not yet been betrothed to another family.
The second brother's daughter, Su Yunzhi, was engaged to the eldest son of the Minister of Industry's family.
The third brother's two sons haven't been found yet. Their heads are as slow as their father's, like a block of wood. I'm afraid the girls will have to take the initiative in the future.
The fourth brother's son and daughter were also married, and they were married to ordinary families. Because he was reluctant to marry off his daughter, he hired a son-in-law for his daughter.
Moreover, with Su Zhiyi's temper, most people couldn't stand her temper.
The fifth brother's son inherited his father's mantle, and he also had a high talent for painting. The son inherited his father's business, and he was also a noble son with a clear breeze and bright moon.
He doesn't have a girl he likes yet. This guy has too high standards, and ordinary girls can't catch his eye at all.
As parents, they could finally understand how worried Su's parents were about them not starting a family.
We all returned to Goat'ao to worship our ancestors. We all took sickles and worked with our own hands to cut off all the weeds next to our ancestors' graves and place them as sacrifices.
It's all the children and their fathers who do the work, while the ladies and girls only have to watch the overseers.
After going down the mountain and returning to his ancestral home, Su Yun rolled up his sleeves and suddenly wanted to cook another meal inside.
As soon as they arrived here, everyone was filled with emotions.
Su Wan seemed to suddenly see the time when she had just returned with her elder brother more than 20 years ago. At that time, she was looking forward to the life she had just traveled through, but also a little nervous.
Fortunately, everything went as expected, and she successfully changed her own destiny and that of her family.
Su Yun's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
The old house is being repaired regularly and still retains its appearance before they left.
It was the first time for the children to see such a house. They gathered around her aunt with great interest and asked their parents about their childhood.
Su Wan said that she didn't know it before she was thirteen years old, but since she was thirteen years old until now, she remembers every moment very clearly.
She told them that she had switched identities with the concubine from Prince Jin's Mansion, and later explained how they had returned to their respective places.
She talked about the history of her family and what their father looked like when he was young.
They were all surprised when they heard that their father was so poor that he couldn't afford to eat or go to school every day. He could only eat potato and vegetable pancakes every day.
Because they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and have never experienced the suffering of the world at all.
Su Wan told them that their current good life was all due to the hard work of their fathers. Whether it was glory or fame, he hoped that they would maintain their original aspirations in the future and not be tainted by vulgar thoughts.
The children looked at the Datongbu where their fathers lay when they were young. Five people were crowded together, fighting for quilts in winter and sweating profusely in summer.
Anyway, there are so many things that I can’t finish them all in one afternoon.
Until, the brothers had jointly prepared a meal. Everyone set up several tables in the yard, each with a small stool, and ate with gusto.
It may not be as exquisite as the usual dishes, and it doesn't have as much meat, but it has a nostalgic effect for their generation, and the younger generations also experience a different life.
In the evening, Su Wan and Jiang Yu came to the earth temple hand in hand.
The Tutu Temple has not been demolished yet, and has even been repaired. It is no longer a dilapidated wall. There is a courtyard wall and a lot of stone bricks. It is said that people from the flower farm often come here to worship.
Facing the setting sun, with the strong fragrance of flowers in the air, Jiang Yu suddenly mentioned something that Su Wan didn't know.
He said:
"Do you still remember the Wang family in Qinghe County? Prince Wang said he wanted you to be his concubine. After his people were beaten away by us, didn't he suddenly go crazy?
In fact, it was not because of the nightmare that he was frightened crazy, but that night, my third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, I kidnapped him here and beat him severely, which caused him to become a shadow. "
If he didn't say anything, Su Wan wouldn't know what was going on. She smiled and started to cry. Jiang Yu gently wiped the tears from her face.
When they left the Tutu Temple, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the temple, and a couple about their age got out.
Su Wan was surprised, why did someone still come to worship at this hour?
The couple supported each other and walked toward her. The woman looked familiar, with a deep smile on her face.
"Su Wan, don't you remember us? I am Jiang Sheng and she is Jiao Xing!" The middle-aged man spoke first.
After saying this, Su Wan immediately remembered, and Jiang Yu looked at each other and smiled.
It turned out that Jiang Sheng and his wife heard that they were back and were afraid that they would not be able to catch up, so they left again, so they came specifically to see her.
The couple kowtowed to Su Wan and Jiang Yu, thanking them for changing their destiny.
…
After that, the couple did not follow the large army back to Kyoto, but started traveling from Xiangzhou.
Many years later, Su Wan and Jiang Yu were too old to walk, their hair had turned all white, their teeth had fallen out, and they even had great-grandchildren.
The old couple are surrounded by their great-grandson and great-granddaughter running around. The children's laughter is constant, which represents youth and vitality.
The two of them were lying on the lounge chair and basking in the sun. Jiang Wanning was also middle-aged. She came over with a blanket to cover her parents in case they caught cold.
The mother fell asleep, with a smile on her lips. She leaned in her father's arms and never opened her eyes again...
That night, the father followed, and the children knelt together and cried in a heap.
In accordance with his father's last wish, Jiang Chengyi buried the two of them in Yang'ao, Xiangzhou, next to the earth temple, and placed their love tokens in the coffin.
The abbot of Wanfu Temple said that if they do this, they will have another life.
However, their lives have been complete. Even if the abbot had not said anything, they would have been buried together...
(Ancient episode, finished!)
