Originally, Han Yi returned home in glory and should have a big banquet to shine on his family and be very majestic.

But from Han Yi getting off the boat and returning to Meicun, he was greeted with extremely warm cheers, but also with crying with guilt.

The crying also reminded Han Yi that he was not coming back to show off, but to come back to keep mourning.

In ancient times, there were many etiquettes in observing filial piety, such as not being able to entertain, not being able to meet guests, not being able to attend a room, not being able to attend a room, and then one can’t get pregnant or having weddings.

But this rule is to die, this person lives. In fact, children and the elderly are not bad, but young people are energetic and cannot stay in the room for three years, they will definitely get calluses on their hands and glue on the wall.

Moreover, even when Han Yi was at home, except for not having a house, he basically broke all the rules and regulations. He had even been to brothels at that time. It can be seen that this filial etiquette was very strict for the gentry and officials because they had this condition. But for farmers, it was not so strict. Ordinary people did not do things for three years and were mourning at home every day. Whatever they had eaten, the whole family would starve to death. Therefore, Han Yi made money outside every day, and no one said he was unfilial. At that time, he owed a lot of debts and the farmland was destroyed by heavy rain. If he didn't go out to make money, wouldn't it be the rhythm of waiting for death?

But at this time, everyone knows Han Yi now, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue before. Even if Xiao Wuyi allows him, he would not dare to go to the brothel again. If he wants to go there, he will be arrested and went to jail.

Not only that, he could not invite the villagers to dinner, nor could the villagers welcome him. Although everyone was very excited that the hero returned, he had to restrain himself. Han Yi did not even enter the door. He just stood in front of the door for a while and then took his wife and children to the grave of Han Dashan. Except for the elderly like Xiao Rui, the rest of the villagers followed, including Yang Zhanfei, Shen Xiao, Xiaopang and others, because the father is noble by his son.

In the past, Han Dashan's tomb was on a small hill behind Meicun, but landslides had already occurred there and mudslides could not be buried there anymore. Li Zhi also ordered Yang Zhanfei to give Han Dashan a funeral at the first level. Therefore, Han Yi's father's tomb was moved to a low mountain in the south. Yang Zhanfei also specially found a famous Yangzhou prime minister to see it. The feng shui here is excellent, and the entire mountain is full of Han Dashan's tombs.

All of them have been repaired now, so this cannot be built by Han Yi, because the tombs in the past have collapsed.

However, the tombstone was not erected. Han Yi had to wait for Han Yi to erect the monument himself. Han Yi also sent someone to send a message to Yang Zhanfei, telling them not to erect it. If they erect the monument, it would be impossible for them to write the names of Yuan Mudan, Yang Feixue and Han Rui, because their relationship has not been officially announced. Han Yi decided to erect the monument after he was mourning. Of course, Yang Zhanfei had no objection. Yang Feixue is his real sister!

After a worship, Yang Zhanfei, Shen Xiao and the others left. Although they had a lot to say to Han Yi, today was inappropriate.

Then Xiaopang and Ono left. Xiaopang was very eager to go to his parents' grave to worship, and Ono had to visit his master and mother.

After a while, the villagers left one after another.

Han Yi's family is left on the mountain.

But because Han Rui and Han Xuanpin were hungry, Han Yi asked Xiao Wuyi and the others to go home to take care of the children first. In the afternoon, Han Yi was alone on the mountain.

Han Yi suddenly closed his eyes and sighed, with a strong sense of guilt in his eyebrows. He sat down, leaned against Han Dashan's tomb, hugged his legs with both hands, his eyes slightly moist, and he stuttered a few times before choking and saying, "I'm sorry, my father."

After a while, he heard him say, "I am now a father and have two children, but the father I used to do not provide me with a good example. Although you and I can say that you have never been masked, the memories you left in my mind have taught me how to be a father and how to take responsibility. Therefore, in my heart, I have already regarded you as my father. To be honest, even I think this is very incredible."

As he said that, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "So, if there is a choice, I will not do this, but I have no way out and I cannot lose, because once I lose, our family will be thrown into a doomed place. This is a bet of life and death, and it is not me alone, but the entire family, and even all those who have relationships with me.

If I want to win the final victory, then I must leave Chang'an first when Empress Wu attacked me, because I don't have enough strength to compete with her head on her and must avoid her sharp edge. But I cannot leave deliberately, otherwise my plan will not be able to continue. Only this way can make everyone believe that all this is God's will. I am leaving Chang'an with unwillingness. It is not that I took the initiative to leave Chang'an, and those big fish will take the bait."

Speaking of this, he rubbed his face hard, "I can't tell anyone about this secret, including Wuyi, Mudan, Feixue and others, I must hide it from them, and I can only talk to you. But I am not making excuses for myself, because I planned all this early in the morning. No matter what means Queen Wu plans to use to deal with me, I will use you to help me get out. Even if I give me another chance, I will do this, because what I want to hide is the three smartest and most vicious people in the world. But I know you will definitely forgive me, because you have given everything for me and for this family, and I am the same, but I will do whatever kind of retribution will be in the future."

He was muttering in front of Han Dashan’s tomb for an afternoon, and it was not until the evening that he went down the mountain.

Back at the attic, he came to his house and hung his plan tree on the wall. After hesitating for a while, hesitated and circled a mountain-shaped pattern with a charcoal pen, and then connected it with black lines.

He took a step back, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy."

As night gradually fell, Meicun, which had been bustling all day long, finally became quiet.

"Are those two little guys going to bed?"

Han Yi sat on a rattan chair and asked Yuan Mudan, who had just walked out of the bedroom.

Yuan Mudan nodded slightly, sat down, shook her head with a wry smile and said, "They are really brothers and sisters, and they have to sleep in a house."

Xiao Wuyi held a cup of hot tea and said, "Actually, I am really grateful to my father. Because of my father, we were able to return here. Although Chang'an is prosperous, I still like the tranquility here. Here, our family can be together without any hiding and living a little easier life." She really doesn't miss the prosperity of Chang'an. She has a deep affection for Meicun. Living in this small attic, she gradually feels happy, because she is very free here.

Yang Feixue nodded and said, "Sister Wuyi said, Chang'an is too complicated. You have to be careful in everything. If you are not careful, your life may be hanging on the line. Stay here and you can live carefree."

Yuan Mudan smiled bitterly and said, "If it is as simple as you said, I will of course be willing, but my husband has already been a great minister. I think there must be many people in the court regarding his husband as a thorn in his eyes. Once his husband is away from power for a long time, what is waiting for us may be a disaster of extermination."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Mudan, you are not good at this. You have too many concerns. You are very tired of living like this. We should be optimistic and just live every day. Whether in Chang'an or Yangzhou, anyway, the soldiers come to block the generals and the water comes to cover the soil. Why worry so much? Anyway, worry can't solve any problem. Instead of talking about future problems, it's better to talk about how we should cherish the pastoral life here for two or three years. I am full of expectations for this, and I can accompany my father and you. However, Mudan and Feixue cannot stay at home every day. You have to go out to make money to support the family. After all, Wuyi and I are inconvenient to move."

Xiao Wuyi immediately gave him a blank look and said, "I finally understand why the two of them are so in love with you."

Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue said in unison: "You are not the same." After that, they cast a grateful look at Han Yi again.

Because according to the rules of filial piety, with the current status of Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue, they can not be filial. Moreover, even if they are filial, they can still do things for their livelihood. It is not that they can’t even do work. Although they have the conditions to not work, Yuan Mudan is preparing to take over Yuanxing when she comes to Yangzhou. She is not idle. Yang Feixue hopes to continue her teaching career here, but because of the emotional aspect, they can only speak this way, and Han Yi can only speak this way.

For Han Yi, he cared more about filial piety during his lifetime. He really didn't care much about it. If it weren't for this link in the plan, he might have forgotten it.

Xiao Wuyi said: "If this is the case, don't make the relationship between you so clearly for the time being, as this will reduce many unnecessary troubles."

Han Yi nodded and said, "You are the head of the family, you have the final say." As he said that, he looked at Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue again.

Yuan Mudan nodded and said, "I agree."

Yang Feixue nodded.

Xiao Wuyi sighed and said, "But the deadline for my head of the family is about to expire."

Han Yi said: "In special circumstances, I think Wuyi should be re-elected."

Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Wuyi sneered and said, "If I had known today, why should I have been there?"

Han Yi hurriedly said: "Don't be proud, your re-election was with us all agreeing. It did not violate the rules. You can't destroy our family's democratic system."

At dawn, the sound of rooster crowing resounded throughout Mei Village.

Han Yi and his family also got up early, and they were all full of energy, including Han Xuanpin and Han Rui. In fact, they all yearned for such pastoral life.

"Dad, you can still cook!"

Han Xuanpin held the hot scallion egg pancake and looked at Han Yi incredibly.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Han Xuanpin nodded directly.

Han Rui also nodded silently.

Han Yi said: "It's good that you like it. Let's eat this in the future, okay?"

Han Xuanpin's eyes turned and said, "But the child still wants to eat the Hunyang."

Xiao Rui laughed loudly when he heard this.

"Then you have to make money by yourself. Daddy has this ability now, and it's useless to dislike you." Han Yi glanced at Han Xuanpin helplessly.

Han Xuanpin said proudly: "The baby has a mother."

Xiao Wuyi heard it and said angrily and funny: "This brat."

Han Yi said to Xiao Rui again: "Father-in-law, what are your arrangements today?"

Xiao Rui said oh, "Xiao Xiao will come to pick me up later. I have to visit some relatives and friends in Yangzhou. I guess I won't come back to stay in the next few nights."

Yuan Mudan suddenly said, "Husband, aren't you going to visit fellow villagers today?"

Han Yi nodded.

This is the most basic etiquette, because over the years, it has been a pity that these villagers have helped Han Yi take care of his family. When Han Yi comes back, of course he has to visit them from door to door to thank them.

Yuan Mudan said, "Then I'll go to Yuanxing to have a look first."

There is no need for her to go with her, and she can even be said to be ineligible.

Yang Feixue said: "I also want to go to my second brother's side to have a look."

Han Rui suddenly looked at Yuan Mudan with a gaze and shouted: "Mom."

Han Xuanpin said: "Sister, of course you want to follow me with my brother!"

They called it sister, but they looked like brothers. In fact, they were only a few months apart and looked almost the same.

Xiao Wuyi couldn't help but touch Han Xuanpin's little head and said, "I'm so good at my son. I have to take good care of my sister today." As she said that, she secretly glanced at Yuan Mudan.

Han Xuanpin nodded straight and said "um" perfunctorily, because this chopped green onion egg pancake was so delicious.

Yuan Mudan smiled helplessly. She didn't know where she actually had to worry about the relationship between sister and brother. On the way she came, Xiao Wuyi had been secretly training Han Xuanpin to be an older brother, not a younger brother. However, she thought that this thing had to rely on her strength to speak. She did not expose Xiao Wuyi's little thoughts, but said to Han Rui: "Rui'er, I have something to go out. You will follow your father, younger brother, aunt and others to visit those uncles and uncles today. Do you know?"

The well-behaved Han Rui nodded and said, "Rui'er understands, mom, you have to come back early."

Yuan Mudan nodded with a smile.

After the family had breakfast, they all cleaned up and prepared to go out.

Han Yi opened the door and a warm sunshine shone into the house, making him feel warm and comfortable. He couldn't help but smile happily: "A new day has begun."
