Chapter 104 Homecoming



Buddhist disciple: "Why did you send a dream to Wang Lingyi and also to Dong Rouer?

The little guy was playing with his arms and legs, pinching and jumping around. Suddenly he stopped and said, "Dong Rouer? I don't have any."

The Buddha opened his third eye and after a while asked, "Demon clan?"

Little guy: "The greater the resentment of the inner demons in the human world, the more powerful the demons in the demon world will be?"

Buddhist disciple: "The resentment of the inner demons is their incense. Where will the Wang family go now... If someone pushes it again... I'm afraid that your dream of enjoying peace for twenty years will be shattered by the inner demons."

The little guy: "The inner demon is dreaming, is it trying to push it again? To start a war?"

The little guy pouted: "I should be able to enjoy peace and quiet. I don't even have what I should have..."

The Buddhist disciple seemed to see the Heavenly Dao pop up for a moment, but it retreated after hearing these words.

"Xi Pei is not a concubine."

Xuanyuan Huaiyu tossed and turned in bed and went into the palace the next day.

Xuanyuan Hao: "You must have her?"

Xuanyuan Huaiyu: "Yes."

In the past few days, people in the court and the country have been discussing: "Is there any imperial concubine with a title?"

"It sets a precedent for our dynasty."

"Giving her any more honor would still demote my wife to a concubine."

"He hasn't even married a concubine yet, but he's already asked for a title. What will Shangshu Wang's reaction be?"

"Who knows? If the royal family marries a concubine, what else can the Wang family do?"

"Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen." Ren Jiayu threw the cup.

Wang Xipei, who still knows nothing about it, has been making a purse whenever she has free time recently, and she feels a little sweet in her heart.

She embroidered the word "Tao" bit by bit, and when she laughed she was so embarrassed that she covered her face with a handkerchief.

She took out the jade pendant and traced the pattern of sailing on the other side, which showed the figure riding the wind and waves, intending to embroider it on her purse.

Jiang Tao received a letter from home saying that his grandfather was seriously ill and asked him to return home immediately.

Jiang Tao set off immediately. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Xi Pei. Suddenly, a kite flew out and said, "Don't go. It's fake. Don't go. It's fake."

Jiang Tao was suspicious and pondered for a moment before saying to Wang Xipei, "This is about Grandpa. I don't dare to gamble, but I will be careful." He looked at Wang Xipei for a long time and said, "When I come back, I have a gift for you."

From the information Xuanyuan Huaiyu received, it seemed that the Wang family had no intention of notifying Wang Xipei to return to Beijing.

Xuanyuan Huaiyu called the secret guards: "Go and bring Wang Xi back."

"If Miss Wang doesn't want to..."

"Tie him back. Don't neglect the others."

Jiang Tao traveled day and night to return home, but found his family full of joy. With doubts in his heart, he went to visit Mr. Jiang first.

Grandpa was so happy to see Jiang Tao that he was in high spirits. He pulled him to sit down and the two chatted endlessly. When his mother came to call him to dinner, Jiang Tao greeted her again.

Finally, I asked the question in my mind: "How do I report that Grandpa is seriously ill in a letter home?"

Grandpa smiled and said, "Your father is very concerned about your affairs this time and has personally arranged a marriage for you. I think he has thought it through. He is afraid that you will be resentful and angry with him and refuse to return home, so he used me, an old man, as an excuse."

The mother also smiled: "If you two can talk it out this time and not always keep each other apart, I will feel relieved."

Jiang Tao asked, "How come this matter has never been mentioned, yet it is being handled so hastily?"

Mother said, "Your father said he'd been seeing you for a long time, but because he was away from home, he couldn't see you, so it's been delayed until now."

Jiang Tao said, "My son already has a girl he likes. I can't let her waste her time. Since they're still dating, and we're in the wrong, we should talk to her properly. If there's anything I need to apologize for, I'll make it."

Grandpa said, "Your father has been busy all day long for you, and your mother has found this girl quite good. Why bother to break up the relationship? If you do, wouldn't that be a slap in your father's face? You and your son have a chance to make peace. Since he's offered to help you, just let him do it."

Jiang Tao said, "I'll go and confess my crime to my father. Grandpa, don't worry, I will have a good talk with my father."

Then he said to his mother, "Since she is a good girl, we must not treat her with disrespect. We should tell her as soon as possible. Mother, let me go to her house and apologize immediately."

The mother said, "This girl and her parents are now living in our outlying village. Since you insist on leaving, I will go and inform your father first."

Jiang Tao asked, "Isn't she a local girl? Is she marrying far away?"

The mother said, "They're from the county where your father built the water conservancy project. The girl is pretty, gentle, and sensible, and her parents are also gentle and kind. As for their family background, your father said they're in the fruit business, and they own five orchards. They marry down and marry up, and even fruit farmers and merchants have their own businesses. Now you're in business, and I don't know how successful you'll be. I'm afraid others will be better than you. When you're married, come back and run two or three shops near home as shopkeepers, and don't run around outside. Even if this doesn't work out, you should at least take the trouble to bring a wife home."

Jiang Tao listened and smiled without saying anything. After his mother finished speaking, Jiang Tao said, "No need to inform her. Let's go to the farm and meet her."

Then they went straight into the manor. Mother said, "It's not proper to come here quietly like this."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "There are so many things that are against etiquette in this matter."

Jiang Tao called two maids and gave them detailed instructions, then he and his mother entered the hall. There was a large window on the middle wall. The two of them entered the hall and sat down in a corner where people in the opposite hall could not see them.

A maidservant invited a girl over after a while.
