In fact, Jiabao also wants to know this question.
In the past, he only heard from his Ah-Mei that his father was falsely imprisoned by bad guys, his house was raided, and then the servants in the family were dismissed.
His youngest body collapsed because of too much stimulation. But they didn't dare to stay in the capital any longer, and they were afraid that his father's political enemies would come to trouble them, so they had to go to the place of residence that his father had prepared before. On the way, his youngest failed to hold on and died.
Jiabao A-Mei didn't say why Daddy was imprisoned or framed by someone, maybe he A-Mei didn't know, or maybe he knew but didn't tell him.
Jiabao held his father's urn and looked at Master Cai, waiting for him to tell him the truth.
Mr. Cai sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Fu Lei is upright by nature, dissatisfied with the corruption and tyranny of the previous dynasty, and has never participated in the imperial examinations. After the establishment of the dynasty, talents withered. At that time, the current sage ordered the Enke examination to be held to select talents. Fu Lei just went to take the Enke exam."
"At that time, the war had just subsided, the new dynasty had just been established, the people were displaced, and production was stagnant. During the palace examination, he wrote some of his ideas and countermeasures against the current situation at that time. Fu Lei has been concerned about the people's life and production for a long time. The idea in this regard is very bold, and the proposed countermeasures are also very feasible. Today's sage is very impressed by the content of his policy theory, appointed him as the champion, and specially assigned him to the Ministry of Households, as the head of the Ministry of Households, and ordered him Come up with more effective measures.”
"Later, the series of measures he proposed for resettlement of refugees, household registration, land issues, etc., were implemented. Many of our current household registration systems and land regulations were proposed by him at that time. Two years later, Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was promoted to the minister of households."
Yu Qingze and Jiabao listened intently. The young man couldn't help holding the urn in his arms when he heard that his father was so powerful.
Yu Qingze couldn't help frowning. Fu Lei is obviously a man of great talent. His talent is good for the country and the people. However, such a person can easily attract all kinds of jealousy and jealousy in the court.
"It was used by the emperor in his career. That year, his son was born. That was the happiest time for him. He named his son Jiayu, which means good and bright. He believes that his future life will also be like his son. Your name is as bright and splendid." Master Cai paused for a while, as if recalling what happened at that time, with a smile on his face.
Afterwards, he restrained his smile and said: "However, after he was appointed as the minister of households, his authority was much larger, which blocked the way for some people to make a fortune, including the two who are now in the prison. Those people have attracted him, They were all righteously rejected by him. After a while, he would always receive some intimidation."
"Among those people, most of them were meritorious officials who assisted the sage to enthrone the throne, but they were later corrupted by power and money. Later, the prime minister received a secret order from the sage to clear the worms in the dynasty and root out the root cause of corruption. The prime minister then contacted Fu Lei and asked him to Fu Lei gladly agreed to secretly collect the criminal evidence of those people."
"After a year, during a disaster relief, Fu Lei was accidentally discovered by the other party that he was collecting evidence, and those people planned to frame Fu Lei for embezzling the disaster relief funds, because the other party was too strict, the Prime Minister did not find enough evidence to prove it. His innocence, he was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Prime Minister's people failed to keep him, so they tried every means to save his family from exile, but were only driven out of the capital. "
"Since then, the other party has become more cautious. It is only now that we have enough evidence to find them all. It's a pity that the prison is under the control of the other party, and our people can't be arranged. Fu Lei is in the sky. After being in prison for too long, his body has been completely destroyed by the other party, and he couldn't hold it in the end. After the court returned his innocence, after he was released from prison, he only had time to write a letter to you, telling me about your possible whereabouts, went to…”
Speaking of which, the resolute man, Master Cai, was already weeping and wiped his eyes.
Jiabao, who learned the truth, burst into tears again.
Yu Qingze didn't know how to comfort him, so he lightly patted his back.
The whole room was immersed in this sad atmosphere.
After a long time, Master Cai calmed down and asked Jiabao, "Jiabao, no, Yu'er, where are you buried?"
Jiabao wiped away his tears, choked and replied, "The five slopes outside the west of the city."
"How are you going to place your father's ashes?"
Jiabao touched the ebony box, lowered his eyes and replied, "A-Me misses Daddy so much, bury them together and let them get together."
Several people heard the words, and their hearts were sour again. Old man Cai's handkerchief was wet from crying.
Jiabao looked at his father's urn, looked up at Yu Qingze, and asked, "Brother, I want to set up a new tombstone for Ah Mo, can I, can I borrow some money from you first?"
Yu Qingze touched his head and said, "I'm your eldest brother, don't be so outspoken. We'll find someone to carve a new one later."
During the Qingming Festival, Yu Qingze and Jiabao went to Wudaopo to sweep the tomb. He found that there was only a wooden plaque in front of his tomb, with the words 'Jiamo Tian's Tomb' carved on it. engraved.
At that time, he asked Jiabao if he wanted to erect a new tombstone, but Jiabao said no. Now, Yu Qingze understands that Jiabao's name is Yuan Xin, and he is not 'Tian' at all, so there is no need to re-build the monument.
Now that Jiabao's father's stigma has been cleared, they don't have to live in incognito, and no one can threaten them anymore. It's only natural that they should erect a monument again for him. Not only erecting monuments, but also giving them a funeral and doing a ritual.
Yu Qingze said again: "I still have a funeral for your father, and you have to make up for it. You can do it together. I will contact you later." , Now that there are conditions, his father can't do the same.
Jiabao shook his head and said, "Brother, no, I don't think Daddy and A-Mei care about this."
"Jiabao, this is to let your father and you rest in peace, listen to me, eh?"
Old husband Cai also said: "Yes, this has to be done, Jiabao, listen to your elder brother."
Jia Baohong stared at Yu Qingze for a while before nodding.
Mr. Cai also nodded and said, "I will ask the housekeeper to assist you, and the people in the house will also be assigned to you. You have something to arrange for them to do it."
Yu Qingze thanked: "Thank you, sir, it couldn't be better."
Jiabao also said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."
After discussing the funeral with Mr. Cai and the others, they arranged some things for the housekeeper. They agreed to go to Niutou Village tomorrow, and the two got up and said goodbye. Master Cai's family asked them to have dinner, but Jiabao declined.
After leaving the Cai Mansion, Yu Qingze took Jiabao to find someone to make a new tombstone, urgently, and asked them to make it in two days. I went to buy another coffin and asked someone to transport it to Niutou Village the next day.
Afterwards, the two returned to the store together.
At this time, it was already evening, and the snack bar was closed. Brother Chang and the rest of the helpers had not returned because they were worried about their family treasure, and were waiting in the store together.
Yu Qingze explained the matter to everyone, without going into too much detail, only saying that Jiabao's father was originally a servant of the household and was falsely accused of being imprisoned.
After everyone heard it, they comforted Jiabao one after another, and then they went back together.
Because of the funeral, Yu Qingze closed the snack bar for seven days.
After returning home, Jiabao kept holding his father's urn, and went back to his room after dinner.
Looking at Yu Qingze's worried eyes, Jia Bao said, "Brother, I'm fine, I'll be fine in two days."
"Remember to ask me for something. Go." Yu Qingze sighed, touched his head, and told him to go.
When Jiabao returned to the room, Yu Qingze told Grandpa Chang, Brother Le and Chang Hao about the specific situation, and then asked Chang Hao to pay attention to Jiabao at night, and hurry to find them if something happened.
Chang Hao nodded, quickly went to wash up, and went back to his room without doing his homework.
The funeral went a lot better because of the assistance of the Cai Mansion.
The villagers knew that this was a funeral for Jiabao's official father, and they all came to offer their condolences. And some nobles in the city found out and sent people to mourn.
Five days later, Jiabao's father's ashes were buried with his A-Mei.
Yu Qingze and Cai Mansion worked together to rebuild the cemetery and built a small cemetery, which moved Jiabao very much.
After the funeral, Mr. Cai deliberately went back to Niutou Village with them, looked at Jiabao, and asked him: "Yu'er, now your father is innocent, you can use your original household registration, and the current household registration is no longer needed. ."
These household registrations were also an expedient measure by Fu Lei to protect his family, and they themselves were illegal.
Jiabao nodded.
Mr. Cai added: "In the capital, the house that your family had set up was taken back by the court, but your father still has a small yard, which is private. When it was confiscated, I have already applied for the court to return you, presumably, it will be soon. There can be news."
Jiabao heard the words and said gratefully, "Thank you sir."
Mr. Cai said again: "Your father and I have been friends for many years. I am a few years older than him, and now he is gone. Yu'er, I intend to recognize you as my adopted son. Would you like to recognize me as my adopted father?"
Jiabao raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect Lord Cai to bring up such a thing. He turned to look at Yu Qingze.
Yu Qingze was also a little surprised, but he touched Jiabao's head and said, "You can decide according to what you think in your heart." It's also a good thing that there are more people who love Jiabao.
Jiabao thought for a while before saying, "I, I will."
Mr. Cai was very happy when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, then tomorrow we will go to the Cai Mansion to hold a family recognition banquet. Do you want more people to be more lively, or quieter?"
Jiabao shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "You don't need to specially hold a banquet for me, it's just us."
"That's fine. Then I'll ask the housekeeper to go home and prepare." Mr. Cai said happily.
Old Man Cai and the others were also very happy. They took Jiabao's hand and said, "Why don't you go back to the mansion tonight and live there, and you don't have to run away tomorrow."
Jiabao shook his head and said, "Old man, I will go there with my big brother tomorrow."
"It's also called the old husband, the youngest." Cai Laofu said.
Jiabao paused for a moment, then said obediently, "Youngest son."
"Hey!" Cai Laofu replied happily, took off the bracelet on his hand and stuffed it into Jiabao's hand, "I don't have anything good on me today, you can take this first, and I will prepare something for you tomorrow."
Jiabao hurriedly refused and said, "Youngest son, this is too precious..."
"Take it. If you don't take it, the youngest will be angry."
"..." Jiabao had no choice but to take it.
Not to be outdone, Mrs Cai said, "And me, and me."
Jiabao: "…Grandpa."
"Hey, good grandson!" Grandpa Cai touched Jiabao's head, and took off the jade pendant from his body and stuffed it into Jiabao's hands.
Jiabao: "… "
Master Cai looked at Jiabao with a smile, but did not speak, but the meaning was obvious, he had already called the youngest grandfather, and the adoptive father had not yet been called.
"..." Jiabao called again, "Foster father."
"Hey." Master Cai responded happily, and then said, "Tomorrow, I will give you another gift."
Yu Qingze and Brother Le looked at them, pursed their lips and smiled.
Mr. Cai said again: "By the way, I heard Xiaoyu say that you have taught you to read and read, and you are also smart. I will send you to a private school? Start learning now, and you can take a test for fame when you are 20 years old."
When Jiabao heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't need to go to school if I don't take the exam, I just need to be able to read. I want to learn to do business with my eldest brother."
When Master Cai heard this, he frowned and said, "You don't want to take the exam? Don't want to go to school?"
Jiabao nodded and said, "I like to follow my eldest brother to make dim sum, cooking, and making money. I said, I hope I can live a normal life, and I think so too."
Mr. Cai was silent for a long time. Thinking of Fu Lei, he sighed and said, "Alright. You can do what you like." After all, he could protect him when he was in Yunzhou one day.
Jiabao nodded and said, "Thank you, foster father."
The next day, Yu Qingze took his family to Cai Mansion.
Jiabao kowtowed to Lord Cai, offered tea, and called out his adoptive father. Mr. Cai took the tea and gave Jiabao a greeting. The marriage recognition ceremony was also completed.
For this happy event, Yu Qingze personally cooked and cooked a table of good dishes, and the two families happily ate this family recognition banquet.
The next day, Mr. Cai took Yu Qingze and Jiabao to the county office in person, and moved Jiabao's household registration to Niutou Village, which was merged with Yu Qingze's household registration.
