The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 172 Welcome Sanlang Home
When the prime minister's wife heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. She immediately and impatiently ordered her subordinates to prepare clothes and food for the welcome party, and also told Li Xiying that she was going to bring Sanlang home.
Li Xixiao expressed his congratulations and said that he was unable to attend the reception due to health reasons. The prime minister's wife disagreed and told him to have a good rest.
It's getting dark.
Not long after the Prime Minister's wife left, the entire mansion was decorated with lights and filled with noise and bustle.
Inside the hall, Sanlang was dishevelled and looked haggard, as if he had been through a lot. Especially when he saw the prime minister's wife, his pitiful look made his mother feel extremely heartbroken.
He immediately knelt beside her and burst into tears.
"Sanlang, where have you been these days? How much have you suffered?" The prime minister's wife thought it was a happy occasion, but seeing his thin face and yellow body, she couldn't help but feel sad because of this scene, and tears kept pouring out, "How did you find this place?"
He was about to say something, but was stopped by the prime minister's wife. Long Qi and Er Lang hurriedly helped San Lang up, and she wiped her tears and said, "Since you are back, don't be too sad. Go wash up first, wash away the dirt, and tell us everything in detail after dinner."
Sanlang readily followed the advice and was taken away by the servants.
After he cleaned himself up, he felt refreshed. Looking at his mother, tears welled up in his eyes again. He could not eat because he did not answer. He then told her everything: "I am an unfilial son who indulges in alcohol. It was three days later that I heard that my family was slaughtered. I was heartbroken and soon encountered the relocation of the capital. I came to Luoyang. All my money and property were gone. I had no faith to live. Until today, when I passed by this place and saw the plaque of 'Cui Mansion' at the door of my house, I was shocked. After asking around, I learned that a man named Cui bought the house on his way back from business a few months ago. After wandering around for a while, I saw my brother's entourage! I came in and saw my two brothers..."
"It's good that you have found your home. It must be your father in heaven who is guiding you!" Madam Xiang stroked Erlang's shoulder, tears in her eyes.
Sanlang's expression froze, and he was shocked. "Mother...Grandpa?"
Madam Xiang burst into tears: "Sanlang, you didn't know that your grandfather, Dalang and Yihuan also failed to escape the disaster. Now only a few of us are left, but your fourth brother has not been found yet!"
After hearing about the death of his father and brother, Sanlang became more and more grief-stricken.
Erlang advised, "Now that things have come to this, our mother and brothers are all safe and sound at home, so we can't ask for more. Grandpa's body has been hastily buried by Qilang in the deserted mountains of Chang'an. I have also built a cenotaph in the mountains near our home a while ago. Tomorrow I will take you to Grandpa's grave to pay homage, and then choose a good day to bury Grandpa's body. Today is a good day for us to meet, so don't be sad anymore!"
"My aunt just went into the kitchen and cooked your favorite dish, and also sent the servant to buy some wine. Let's get drunk today!" Long Qi reached out from his sleeve and patted Sanlang on the shoulder.
Li Xiying, who was in the room, also heard the maids in the mansion talk about this reunion scene and couldn't help but feel happy for them.
When dinner started, the prime minister's wife declared that Xi Ying could not be missing, so she came personally to call her to join the gathering. Firstly, she was happy that San Lang had returned, and secondly, she was even more happy that she had returned safely.
Li Xiqi couldn't refuse, so she had to follow.
Long Qi saw her coming, so he casually walked over to her side and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"
Li Xiying shook her head and replied, "No problem."
He finally felt relieved.
Sanlang was also slightly surprised when he saw Li Xiying. Then he smiled, nodded and bowed, "Madam Xiying, are you okay?"
Madam Xiang smiled and said to Sanlang, "Xi Xi came back today just like you, one came after the other, the difference is less than four or five hours..."
"Then it's really fate!" Sanlang smiled. Her mother had always treated her as her own daughter, so saying this would naturally please her.
Li Xixiao also smiled calmly: "As long as Sanlangjun is healthy, that's good."
Sanlang smiled happily when he heard this: "My lady, too. I will also drink a glass for what you said."
But just after finishing the drink, before he could say the next sentence, he saw Long Qi Yuanshan frowning slightly, and he couldn't help but restrain his smile. Then he cleared his throat and asked Li Xi, "I wonder if my wife knows... Ouch, how did it spill!"
Before he could finish his words, a slender hand appeared in front of Sanlang and began to pour wine for him. The wine immediately filled up and soaked the sleeves of his new clothes.
Sanlang jumped up immediately, "Cousin Longqi, you were just pouring the wine, but why did you get so distracted that you splashed wine all over my sleeves? This is the new dress my mother bought for me!"
Seeing this, the servant brought a few pieces of raw silk to absorb the wine, one piece to wipe his sleeves and the other to wipe the wine on the table.
Sanlang twisted his cuffs with the cloth until they were half dry, muttering to himself.
Erlang naturally understood what was going on and laughed, "Qilang was so happy that he lost his composure. Just wipe it off. We still have to eat..."
"That's the case. Let the maid serve the wine!" said the lady, and asked the maid to come and serve the wine one by one.
Seeing this, Sanlang temporarily suppressed what he wanted to say, raised the cup to toast his mother and brothers, and drank it all in one gulp, "I have been through a lot in the past few months, and it is so hard to see my mother and brothers. I am filled with emotion, anyway, it is all in the wine!"
Madam Xiang stopped him from drinking the second cup, saying, "Don't drink on an empty stomach!"
As she was picking up the food, she sighed as she thought of her sad past. Tears started to flow again, and she wiped them away quietly. "Now Sanlang is back, but I don't know where Silang is."
Long Qi said, "Aunt, don't worry. Silang is an expert at chess and he opened a chess shop with people who love chess. He must be fine. It just takes time to find him. If we can't find him in one day, we can find him in two days. If we can't find him in two days, we can find him in a month... We will be reunited in the end."
Erlang responded, "When our family was massacred, I rushed back as soon as I heard the news from Shang. Unfortunately, Chang'an was relocated and I couldn't find my family. I was disheartened and heartbroken! Perhaps Silang was feeling the same as I was, thinking that his family was in trouble and was heartbroken. We just need to be more careful when looking for someone to entrust us with, and we will find him one day!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiang wiped away her tears and said to Erlang, "That's true. When Aqi found you, I also had faith. Silang must be somewhere, and the most important thing is that he is safe. Not only Silang needs to be found, but also my Zhier!"
San Lang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, not one less!"
At this point, Sanlang couldn't help but wonder, and asked Longqi: "How did Erlang find them back then? Qilang, tell us about it. Maybe you can find Silang and his sister using the same method!"
Everyone looked at Long Qi, and Li Xiying also looked at him.
I remember he said he wanted to talk to her about this, but it was only now that I had the chance to hear him say it.
Long Qi recalled, "I remember Erlang once said that he also had real estate in Luoyang. Although he didn't say where exactly, Luoyang is so big that I could find it wherever I went. One day, by chance, I found a silk shop and heard that the shopkeeper there was surnamed Cui, and his name was 'Cui Qian', which was the same as Erlang's. So I asked the shop assistant to tell the Cui shopkeeper that I was looking for him. That day, the assistant said that Cui had gone out and would be back the next day, so I left it alone for a day. Who knew that when I went there the next day, they closed the shop door, and there were wives, daughters and children in mourning inside. I mistakenly thought it was Erlang's coffin, but I had to break in and split open the nailed coffin lid to take a look... Fortunately, it was not Erlang!"
Sanlang laughed miserably when he heard this, "Qilang, I didn't know you were so brave and would rather disturb someone else's coffin. You are smart after all, and you know to confirm whether the coffin is my second brother. Otherwise, if he was buried without knowing it, there would be no future!"
The prime minister's wife also shook her head and laughed: "Don't laugh at him, this is understandable, otherwise it would be a mistake."
Erlang was helpless and said, "I have already said that I will not use my real name outside, but I just didn't tell Qilang."
San Lang stopped laughing after hearing this and then asked Long Qi, "How did you get away? It must have been a fight."
