In the end, Wang Shoudao said to Cai Wenye,"Your daughter's matter is a little difficult to handle. I think we have to go together."”
Cai Wenye had actually paid attention to this trip to Three-Kings Manor. On his way to Three-Kings Manor, he had asked about Wang Shoudao and my great-great-grandfather countless times. He almost asked about the three generations of ancestors of my great-great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao. It was a bit like being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of a well rope.
Fortunately, my great-great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao had a very good reputation on both sides of the Yellow River. The people along the way said that the master and disciple were not only sincere and kind, but also extremely profound. As long as any evil thing fell into their hands, they would definitely be able to solve it. Moreover, the master and disciple did not charge money. If there was food, they would give it some food. If there was no food, they would not give anything. Their purpose was to save the world. They were two living Bodhisattvas.
Cai Wenye admired Wang Shoudao and Wang Shoudao very much after hearing this information. He heard that Wang Shoudao wanted to visit his house in person. Regardless of whether Wang Shoudao and Wang Shoudao were capable or not, Cai Wenye felt very sorry for making a hundred-year-old man travel a long distance for his daughter. At the same time, he was also very touched. He immediately swept away his previous silence and gradually became more talkative. After that, the two of them chatted for a while and had a preliminary understanding of each other. Cai Wenye found out that my great-great-grandfather was not married yet, but he did not think about anything else. After all, my great-great-grandfather was too old, only a few years younger than him.
Cai Wenye came in a carriage, and he had even prepared one in advance. After daybreak, my great-great-grandfather helped Wang Shoudao into the two carriages that were prepared and rushed to his house with Cai Wenye.
Sanwang Manor was several hundred miles away from Weishi County. Because Wang Shoudao was too old, the carriage didn't travel too fast, afraid of bumping him. Just like that, the few of them walked and stopped, walking in the morning and sleeping at night. On the evening of the third day, they arrived at Cai Wenye's house.
After getting off the carriage, Cai Wenye asked the coachman to knock on the door and led the master and disciple into the residence.
The Cai family is indeed one of the most prestigious families in the area. Not only is the mansion exquisitely renovated and elegant, but the area is also so large that my great-great-grandfather couldn't imagine it. There is a front yard, a backyard, and two side yards. There are countless rooms. Between the front yard and the backyard, there is also a large garden. In the garden, there are fish ponds, pavilions, and rockery. Strange flowers and plants compete for beauty. This made my great-great-grandfather, a frog at the bottom of a well, feel that even the imperial palace might not be as good as this.
Cai Wenye prepared to arrange two rooms for my great-great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao in the side courtyard, but my great-great-grandfather stopped him and only asked him to arrange one. My great-great-grandfather said that Master is old and can't be without someone to take care of him at night. Living in a house is convenient for taking care of Master. This gave Cai Wenye a new understanding of my great-great-grandfather.
After that, Cai Wenye set up a banquet in the front hall. He was tired from the journey, so this was a welcome for my great-great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao.
Cai Wenye's eldest son was at the shop and not at home. His second son was at the yamen and not at home either. Only Cai Wenye and his wife and an old butler accompanied him. There were also two servant girls serving tea and wine.
After the wine was half-drunk, Wang Shoudao made a request to Cai Wenye. He wanted Cai Wenye's daughter, Cai Qingjun, to come out and meet him.
Cai Wenye hesitated. In the past, the feudal ideology was very serious, and women had three obedience and four virtues. Especially for a large family like the Cai family, which was a scholarly family, they were even more particular. Before their daughter married, they rarely came out to meet guests.
Wang Shoudao explained that he wanted to take a look at the young lady's complexion and ask a few questions at the same time. He wanted to see if it was really as the fortune-teller had said, that she was disturbed by the ghost of her previous husband. This way, he would be able to know what was going on and prescribe the right medicine.
When Cai Wenye heard Wang Shoudao's words, he didn't have anything to be particular about. He hurriedly called a servant girl to invite the young miss.
After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the servant girl led a beautiful woman in. The woman had fair skin and a well-proportioned figure. She was gentle and quiet. If she was now, she would be a temperamental goddess. However, the woman was not in good spirits at the moment. Her face was dark and she looked sleepy. This woman was Cai Qingjun.
Under Cai Wenye's introduction, Cai Qingjun obediently gave Wang Shoudao and my great-great-father two blessings.
Wang Shoudao narrowed his eyes and looked at Cai Qingjun from head to toe before nodding. My great-great-grandfather was a little stunned when he saw Cai Qingjun. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Although he didn't look too good, it couldn't hide her breathtaking beauty.
At this moment, a servant girl moved a stool from the side and placed it beside Cai Wenye's wife, Li Shi. Cai Qingjun lowered her head and walked over to sit down. As she raised her hands and feet, she exuded the demeanor of a young lady from a noble family.
Wang Shoudao said to Cai Wenye,"I see that your daughter's complexion is dark and white. She's really been haunted by a ghost. Moreover, this ghost has been in your house for quite a long time."”
Wang Shoudao's words were like a heavy bomb that exploded in the room. Cai Wenye's entire family turned pale in fear, and even the servant girl's hands trembled.
Although Cai Wenye didn't quite believe this, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He asked in a trembling voice,"Old sir, according to what you said, is it really the ghost of my daughter's previous husband?”
Wang Shoudao waved his hand and said," No, no. That fortune-teller's words were only half right. It's true that Miss Cai was found by a ghost, but it's not the ghost of Miss Cai's previous husband. This ghost was brought home by Miss Cai from outside.”As he spoke, Wang Shoudao seemed to have thought of something and asked Cai Wenye," Has your daughter traveled far away in recent years?”
