"Nothing, I just heard from the villagers that Kangzi brother is back, and I couldn't help but want to see him. You don't know, Kangzi brother used to..."
Zhang Lizheng said with some excitement.
Shanshui listened to him patiently without making any comments.
"Hey, what are you doing at the dock?"
After finishing talking about himself and Cheng Kang, Zhang Lizheng remembered that Shanshui came from the dock, so he asked.
"Go check something out. Uncle, are you going to look for Uncle Shun and the others or are you going back? I need to go back to the village."
Shanshui asked.
"Go back to the village...Okay, I'll go back with you. Since Kangzi is back, he can't just leave right away, right? I'll go to his house to see him tonight."
Zhang Lizheng thought about it and went back with Shanshui.
"Uncle, I remember my dad is about the same age as you!"
After the two of them got on the donkey cart, Shanshui suddenly asked.
"That's right! When your father brought you here, my Chengxiao was already over seven years old. I don't know if you have any older brothers or sisters. Your father said there's no one at home, so it's not easy for us to ask. You know your father is not a talkative person. Why did you think of asking this?"
Zhang Lizheng said.
"I'm getting married soon, and I suddenly thought of my dad. He's been gone for years."
Shanshui shook his head.
"Oh! Live a good life in the future. Pangya is a good person, and her family is very good. When you and Pangya have children in the future, things will become lively, and you won't think too much about it."
Zhang Lizheng sighed, then patted Shanshui on the shoulder and said.
"Um."
Shanshui nodded.
Because Cheng Kang said that he looked like someone, he suddenly felt uneasy and now he wanted to know where their family came from.
If it was just the silver note his father left him, he might not have thought too much about it, but when he went back to the old house in the next village, the gold and land deeds he got made him feel a little uneasy.
I had another nightmare like that last night. This morning I went to the city to see a doctor, but the doctor said he was in good health and had nothing wrong with him.
But the piercing pain is so real.
The elders often say that blood relatives are connected. When someone's father dies, someone who is not around feels a piercing pain. When someone's beloved grandfather dies,...
Shanshui has heard many stories like this, but his father, who depended on him for everything, passed away five years ago. Why would he be heartbroken because of this feeling?
"By the way, Shanshui, did Brother Kangzi come back with his wife and children?"
After a while, Zhang Lizheng asked again.
"No, he brought his entourage. His wife died two years ago, and his children are in the capital."
Shanshui came to his senses and replied.
"Ah? Gone! Capital? Could it be that Brother Kangzi has really made it out?"
Zhang Lizheng said excitedly.
"I guess so!"
Shanshui told Zhang Lizheng what he knew.
Zhang Lizheng was stunned when he heard this.
"You, you mean, Kangzi brother is an official now? Or a high-ranking official?"
Zhang Lizheng mumbled.
"Boye is not an official title, but a noble title. However, his son is now an official, reportedly working in the Ministry of Rites. He has only one son, and the rest are daughters. And he has two grandsons who are just beginning their education."
Shanshui thought for a moment and said.
How could a villager like him know that Earl is not an official position but a title of nobility?
Do you know that there are six ministries in the imperial court, left and right prime ministers, and the ranks of various official positions?
