More than twenty years ago, the eighth prince ascended the throne, and Old Man Gu had passed away, so Cheng Kang brought his family to the capital.
The eighth prince conferred the title of Earl on Cheng Kang, a title that would be passed down for five generations, and also rewarded him with houses, farms and other property.
At the beginning, an official position was arranged for Cheng Kang. However, after a few years, when the emperor's position was secure, Cheng Kang resigned and became a free and easy earl.
Cheng Kang lived a carefree life in the capital, but every year there was a period of time when he would have dreams. He dreamed of a man who looked very similar to him and felt very close to him. The scenes in the dream were very familiar, but he didn't have any memory of him.
He couldn't figure out what was going on.
Until tonight, when they were eating watermelon, his eldest son talked about the origin of the watermelons that had recently been shipped to the capital.
It was said that it was transported from Yunzhou Prefecture in the southwest, sailed on the Yan River for several days, and then transferred from Yizhou to the capital.
They are big in size and sweet in taste, different from those from our own farm, and even tastier than those sent as tribute from the west in previous years.
Cheng Kang asked at the time, "Can it be preserved after such a long journey?" Tribute from the west had to be preserved in a special way.
His eldest son then said that the melon seller said that the family that sold this kind of melon was a Ming Dynasty person in Taoyuan County. Not only were the things they made delicious, but even the melons they grew were tastier than others. They had a special storage method and it was said that they could be kept for one or two months without any problem.
Cheng Kang grasped a key word at that time, Taoyuan County.
He asked, "Is Taoyuan County big? Why hasn't the news of such a miraculous figure spread to the capital?"
His eldest son said that he heard from someone that Xinghua Village in Taoyuan County not only grows watermelons, but also cantaloupe and sweet melons, and they may be able to be transported to Beijing for sale next month.
Not only that, the Cheng family who grow melons in Xinghua Village, together with the young lady from the Huang family winery in Taoyuan County, have come up with a fruit wine that is particularly delicious and will be available for sale next month!
This was spread by Boss He at the melon seller's request.
He doesn't know whether the fruit wine tastes good or not, but that doesn't stop him from giving Cheng Yue and Huang Shaolan a good reputation!
Cheng Kang's children all joked that the boss was arrogant.
When Cheng Kang heard the words "Cheng Family" in Xinghua Village, Taoyuan County, a dream that he had every year suddenly emerged in his mind, and then a large number of memories flooded into his mind, and he fainted all of a sudden.
In other words, Cheng Kang now has memories.
He also figured it out. His father-in-law and his wife had been deceiving him before. They wanted to make him look like his entire family was wiped out so that he could marry into their family with peace of mind.
He asked Aunt An again, and from Aunt An's expression, he knew that everyone who went there with him knew about it, except him.
He was very angry, but all the people who had gone with him were gone, and only Aunt An was still alive.
He wanted to punish her, but Aunt An was just a maid. Would punishing her be useful?
Forget it, let me think about when to go back to see Shunzi.
It's been more than 30 years. How is Shunzi?
Is the Cheng family who sells melons Shunzi?
Cheng Kang couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Knock, knock, uncle!"
The attendant outside knocked on the door.
Cheng Kang quickly wiped his tears, stood up and straightened his clothes.
Because he suddenly fainted, he did not take off his clothes.
"Come in!"
Cheng Kang sat on a chair, holding the armrests. If you look closely, you can see his hands trembling slightly.
"I, He Dafeng, greet you, Master!"
Boss He bent down and saluted Cheng Kang.
