Chapter 327 Zi Yan, I'm Sorry, I'm Late
When Su Yinghuai came back from a visit to the toilet, he saw Ye Tang talking and laughing with two bruised old men. He immediately guessed that these two must be Xiao Jingxuan's masters.
"Grandfather, you must be hungry after coming back!" Ye Tang stood up and went over to introduce Hong Longfei and the others, "Let me introduce you, this is my grandfather, Grandfather, this is Senior Hong and Jing Xuan's master."
Hong Longfei and the other two were a little surprised. They knew the relationship between Ye Tang's family and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. They recognized Shangguan Zhenhua as their grandfather, but did not mention his maternal grandfather!
Although they didn't understand what was going on, the two elders still greeted Su Yinghuai warmly.
Liu An asked: "If he is not Tang'er's grandfather, what should he be called?"
Su Yinghuai said: "My last name is Su."
Liu An asked Su Yinghuai about his age again, and learned that he was 67 years old, a few years older than himself, so he called him "Brother Su".
Hong Longfei came over to Ye Tang and asked, "How did you find your grandfather?"
Ye Tang did not hide anything and briefly described the process of his acquaintance with Su Yinghuai.
Oh, and Su Yinghuai's identity was also mentioned.
Hong Longfei and Liu An were shocked and looked at Su Yinghuai in disbelief.
"You are the imperial teacher Su Yinghuai!" Hong Longfei said in surprise.
Liu An also raised his eyebrows: "The world's greatest scholar is actually Tang'er's grandfather?"
He knew that Su Yinghuai was Nangong Yan's teacher, and he also knew that he was teaching Xiao Jingxuan, but he never expected that the other party would become Ye Tang's biological grandfather.
Su Yinghuai nodded: "Yes, it's genuine!"
He looked at Hong Longfei and the other two and said, "I have heard from Tang'er and Jing Xuan that the two juniors admire you two very much."
He bowed to Liu An and the other man and said, "Thank you for taking care of us two youngsters for so long."
Liu An raised his hand and said, "Don't say thank you. Jing Xuan is my disciple, so I should be nice to him."
Hong Longfei also said: "Yes, that's right, Jing Xuan is my disciple. If I don't treat him well, who else can I treat well?"
Hong Longfei had heard of Su Yinghuai's name but had never met him. He originally thought that a great scholar like Su Yinghuai would be stubborn and arrogant, but unexpectedly, he was actually quite easy-going.
Looks like someone who's easy to get along with.
The three old men sat together and chatted excitedly about the affairs of their younger generation.
Seeing that they were having a good chat, Ye Tang went back to his room to rest, making an excuse of feeling unwell.
After returning to the room and drinking a cup of warm water, Ye Tang lay down on the bed to rest and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
When she woke up, she found that the baby in her belly was moving and her belly was a little deformed.
"Baby, are you being naughty again?"
Ye Tang reached out to touch her belly. Where her hand touched, it bulged slightly, as if the baby in her belly was reaching out to respond to her.
Ye Tang smiled happily.
"My wife!" Jamel Xiao opened the door and walked in: "You're awake, just in time, we can have dinner."
Ye Tang got out of bed and asked, "Are Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law here?"
Jamel Xiao picked up the coat and put it on her: “Here I am.”
After helping Ye Tang put on her clothes, he took her hand and walked out.
"Watch out for the threshold."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan carefully helping Ye Tang to the dining room, his serious and responsible look made Master Xiao Wu and Old Madam Zeng dazed for a moment.
Master Xiao Wu just felt incredible: "Old lady, you saw that Old Six would take the initiative to take care of others."
"I see. Lao Liu is going to be a father. He has grown up."
Old Madam Zeng looked at Ye Tang's belly, her face full of joy: "Fifth brother's wife's belly is really big."
The only ones who came to the Xiao residence for dinner tonight were Master Xiao Wu and his two companions, as well as Hong Longfei, Liu An, and Su Yinghuai. The five old men dined with Ye Tang and the two young men, and would glance at Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan from time to time.
Seeing Jamel Xiao considerately picking up food and picking out fish bones for Ye Tang, the five old men laughed even more happily and ate one more bowl of rice.
Master Xiao Wu whispered to Old Madam Zeng, "It was the right decision to let Old Six propose to Ye Tang."
"Fortunately, we got there first, otherwise Ye Tang would have been snatched away by someone else."
"I feel relieved. Seeing Jing Xuan being so sensible, I really feel relieved!"
The meal was very warm.
After dinner, Ye Tang and his companion accompanied the five elderly people for a walk in the yard to help digest the food.
"Wen Ye passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination. He brought honor to our family. The clan will celebrate with great fanfare. Tomorrow we will set up a long banquet and invite relatives and friends to feast and drink for three days."
Ye Tang agreed: "This is fine, it's lively."
Master Xiao Wu smiled from ear to ear: "Nowadays, it's different from the past. Everyone's life is getting better and better. When there is a happy event, they will celebrate it with great fanfare. Every day, we have delicious food and drinks... I am old, and I have gained a lot of weight."
Jamel Xiao supported him: "You were too thin before, it will be healthier if you gain some weight."
After digesting the food, Xiao Jingxuan sent Master Xiao Wu and his wife to the main room.
In order to facilitate farming, the village rebuilt the road and built two new roads, making it more convenient to go to the fields and saving time.
The road from the Xiao residence to the residence of Master Xiao Wu has also been repaired. It has become wider and flatter. When the two elders who have difficulty walking want to come here but don't want to walk, they can take a donkey cart.
The next morning.
The Xiao clan started to hold a grand banquet, and the Long Dragon Banquet was extremely lively. Although the one who passed the imperial examination and became the third place was Xiao Wenye, who was from the same family as Xiao Tiechui, everyone in the clan was still very united and all came to help.
In addition, knowing that Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang had returned, many people came to visit them.
When I arrived at the Xiao residence, I found that Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan were not at home.
Xiao Xuewen asked the servants and found out that Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan had gone to Wenggang Village.
The road from Qingquan Village to Wenggang Village is also under construction, and this is being built with money raised by Wenggang Village itself.
There were many strong laborers from Wenggang Village on the road. When they saw Ye Tang's carriage, they were all surprised and happy.
The carriage slowly entered Wenggang Village and headed towards the end of the village.
Huo Ziyan was buried on the mountain behind the Ye family. The carriage could not go up the mountain and stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Su Yinghuai got out of the carriage, looked up at the mountains, and a hint of sadness and tension flashed across his old eyes.
This is where his sweetheart is buried.
It's where she has always lived.
She was clearly in the Yuan Dynasty, but he hadn't been able to find her for many years.
"Grandfather, please slow down." Ye Tang's voice came.
Su Yinghuai stepped over a stone and walked towards her and Xiao Jingxuan.
"Let's go and meet your grandmother."
Huo Ziyan's grave had not been taken care of for a long time and was overgrown with weeds, making it impossible to find its location with the naked eye.
The guards took sickles and cut the grass in front to clear a path. After a long time, they finally cut a path. Ye Tang and his companions finally saw Huo Ziyan's grave.
There are many wild plants and some wild flowers growing on the grave, and the autumn chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone are blooming quite brilliantly.
Su Yinghuai took heavy steps, took the sickle from the guard, cut the weeds in front of the tombstone, and saw the words on the tombstone.
The tomb of my biological mother Huo Ziyan.
When Huo Ziyan died, Jiang Lingyue was still young and suffered from ostracism in the village, so she was unable to build a very good tomb for Huo Ziyan. After marrying Ye Peng, Ye Peng accompanied her to renovate the tomb, replacing the wooden tombstone with a stone carving, and surrounding the tomb with stones.
Among all the graves on this mountain, Huo Ziyan's is the best.
Su Yinghuai raised his hand and gently touched the three words "Huo Ziyan" on the tombstone, with an unshakable sadness in his eyes.
"Zi Yan, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
