If there is someone in this world who has been away for half his life and still a young man when he returns, it is probably Shen Zhaoming.
The grievances and grudges of the Yongding Marquis's family were almost known to everyone in Kyoto because they were involved in three cases that shocked Kyoto: the Xiaolingdang case, the Lu Yinbao case, and the Jingma Moudi case. They also triggered a great debate on whether there were gods and Buddhas.
The story of the two daughters after their marriage exchange has been published in a storybook.
Almost everyone loves gossip, especially about such a legendary figure.
When they heard that he was Shen Zhaoming, they all gathered around him.
"Are you the son of Marquis Yongding?"
"Are you the top scholar in the imperial examination?"
"Didn't you join the army?"
"The daughter-in-law of the recently deceased Madam Handan is Jiang He."
Shen Zhaoming was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that they even knew about Jiang He. This surprise made this professional melon eater very proud: "I pay attention to details when eating melons."
The abbot of Tianyuan Temple and the nun of Yunlan Temple felt a little embarrassed. The disciples were being too gossipy.
Even the little kid stuck his head out of the car window. The Buddhist child pulled him from behind. The little kid said angrily: "Let me take a look! Shen Zhaoming, alive! Don't you want to see it?"
The abbot of Yunlan Temple finally pulled Shen Zhaoming aside and told him that Wu Jia's real name was Zhong Qin. She had passed away many years ago and was buried in Yunlan Temple according to her will.
Marquis Yongding also passed away two or three years ago and wanted to be buried with his wife. However, his legitimate daughter, Shen Zhaoshu, adhered to her mother's last wishes and refused to give in, saying that her father had never visited her mother during her lifetime or after her death, and there was no need to do so now.
Finally, Marquis Yongding left a message and was buried in the position of the gravekeeper of Yunlan Temple.
Shen Zhaoshu has returned to Beijing from other places and has lived there for many years. Her husband is a capable man and is now an important official in the court.
After a moment of thought, he continued, "Before his death, the Marquis of Yongding left his mansion and title to you. Shen Zhaoshu asked the current emperor for an order that after the Marquis of Yongding's death, the title will remain with you for twenty years, awaiting your return."
Upon learning that both his parents had passed away, Shen Zhaoming remained silent all the way.
After settling down temporarily at the Shi family mansion, Sun Yannan discovered that the maids were very frequent in visiting the courtyard where Shen Zhaoming was temporarily staying. Even if Shen Zhaoming had nothing to do and didn't need anything, these maids would still send a lot of extra things over.
Sun Yanan thought to himself: After all, this house has been empty for several years and there is no owner living here. It is only supported by the housekeeper.
All the capable maids, including the remaining older maids by my mother's side, were sent out to manage affairs. The capable nanny by the old lady's side had also gone to Kyoto.
These little girls were a bit unruly, and when she noticed, she had to gather all the servants and give them a lecture. After that, the girls really didn't dare to disturb them anymore, and they became more disciplined.
The courtyard filled with the most laughter and joy now belongs to her daughter Shi Canglan. Her four maids are Yunqi, Yunshu, Huakai and Hualuo. Except for Yunqi who has changed her name to Chuer, the other three have refused to leave the house in the past few years, waiting for the young lady.
When they saw the young lady again, the four of them took turns picking up Shi Canglan and holding him high. Then the five of them happily went out for a walk. Shi Canglan hadn't been out for five and a half years, and he was as happy as a lark.
The courtyard of Master Guigu's uncle was eerily quiet. After Master Canglan came back, he first brought food and clothes to his master. After Master Guigu's uncle received them, he told him that there was no need for anyone to look after it, probably because he wanted to be alone.
Sun Yannan found a suicide note in the room where Madam Handan once lived. She left all her property and two large silver bills to her uncle-master, hoping that this prodigal son would live a good life for the rest of his life.
After Sun Yanan handed it over to his uncle-master Guigu, he asked Sun Yanan to help buy a good coffin, a large carriage, some medicinal herbs and ice. He first took Mingfeng back to Guigu for burial, and he would also be buried there in the future.
As for the remaining money, Uncle Guigu asked Sun Yanan to hand it over to Lord Shang. Although he had learned a lot of skills in his life, they were only for his own amusement. When he was young, he showed off his skills and competed with his fellow apprentices. He learned quickly anyway, but it seemed that he had done nothing for the country or the people.
This money should be donated in Mingfeng's name. He is alone and can't spend much. The rest of his life will be spent on passing on his skills to his masters, and then he will stay with Mingfeng in Guigu.
Three days later, after everything was packed, the great-grandmaster from Guigu took Mingfeng's body back to Guigu first, and did not allow anyone to follow or accompany them; Shi Canglan went to Kyoto with the four maids, and the whole family was so happy to see her. Shen Zhaoming went with Shi Canglan, and Sun Yannan sent a cavalry from his own family to escort them to Kyoto.
Sun Yannan stayed in Pingchang County. The war here was not over yet, and she was worried about the family business she had built up.
The two venerables returned to the Demon Realm and were scolded by the Demon King.
"Can't kill He Qing's people? Are they running too fast? Is the little kid too powerful?
Are you two stupid? Can't you kill Prince Guanghuai's men?
Isn't the entrance to the Demon Realm right in the valley? Aren't his men also in the valley as bait? Since they couldn't lure He Qing's men in, the bait is useless. And since they're so close, it would be so easy to kill King Guanghuai's men!
Why must He Qing be killed? We demons don’t mind killing anyone, and eating anyone is fine! Let’s eat our fill of demons, big and small!
Venerable Nan asked, "Isn't King Guanghuai our ally?"
The Demon King was furious: "You stubborn and stubborn person, you killed your allies and stabbed them in the back, and you still collected more demonic energy! They were going to die anyway, and dying at the hands of us demons is a worthy death, a valuable death!
When you kill them, tell them to let them die first, so you can satisfy your fear, resentment, and anger, and then go kill He Qing's army and avenge them, isn't that better?"
The Southern Venerable said, "We killed them, so why should killing He Qing's men be considered revenge for them? Moreover, He Qing didn't kill those who surrendered, so many of King Guanghuai's men survived."
