Dayan Fifty Dao

Chapter 100 Farewell
Li Ling persuaded him again, and Li Mao said: "Father wants to drink." After speaking, he led Li Ling and Li Huai to Zuixian Tower, Jin Buhuan greeted him personally, and served all the good wine and food in the restaurant .

After three glasses of wine, Li Mao said: "Ling'er, you are married. Although Zhengyi is not happy with you, she is your wife anyway. Father knows that you want little Ling'er. Father will not stop you. As long as you She is willing, three media, six hires, and ten miles of red makeup are indispensable.

It's just that you have to arrange Zhengyi properly. After all, she is the daughter of a rich family, and she is arrogant. She is willing to stay in the palace for you, so she is a member of our palace. In the future, if you have a way to compensate, you can compensate more, okay? "

Li Ling nodded quickly: "Father, you can rest assured. Zhengyi has paid a lot when he came to our palace, so I will naturally not treat him badly."

Li Mao nodded, and said to Li Huai: "Huai'er, you are the only thing dad is worried about. You are not married yet. Dad wants to find you a daughter from a good family, but dad probably won't be able to take care of her."

"Father, what are you talking about?"

Li Mao smiled awkwardly: "In the future, Ling'er, you can go to the capital to have a look. If you agree, give it to Huai'er. I have already prepared his dowry, and I will give it to Steward Sun. I don't want you." If you can marry a high-ranking official, you will be safe and sound."

As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and said, "Did dad talk too much, do you think dad is long-winded?"

Li Ling quickly said: "Father, don't worry, I will naturally not treat Brother Huai badly. There are many good people in the capital, so let me take care of it. I will naturally find him a lover."

Li Mao smiled, picked up the wine glass, and took another sip. This time he drank very quickly. He didn't drink much in the past. Li Ling came to persuade him, but Li Mao said: "Father hasn't drunk much in his life. Our grandpa, the third, didn't have a good drink even during the Chinese New Year.

If you are happy this time, let Dad drink more, and Dad will stop drinking in the future. "As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass again and drank it down in one gulp. It seemed that he was not enjoying himself, so he filled it up again.

Li Huai said: "Brother, Dad is rarely happy, let Dad drink more."

Li Ling didn't try to persuade him any more, but for some reason, Li Mao's drinking capacity was very good today, and Li Huai and Li Ling were both drunk, but he drank a pot by himself before wandering back. I know, Li Mao seems to have a lot of thoughts.

Little Ling'er was sleeping in a daze. In her dream, she saw a lot of white pigeons flying in. Countless white pigeons covered the sky like snow. Those white pigeons seemed to bring her news, but they couldn't see it in the letter box of the pigeons. a letter.

Little Ling'er suddenly sat up in shock, covered in cold sweat, hurriedly got up to wash, and then shouted: "Blue Bird, Flying Fish, Porcelain Sheng, Bu Huan, follow me quickly." The four servant girls were sleepy.

I don't know what happened, but Xiao Ling'er's expression was heavy, she stepped on the boat, the lake surface was choppy, it seemed to be much bigger than the previous waves, the waves beat on the bow of the boat, and the deck was wet.

But little Ling'er just stood quietly at the bow of the boat, letting the waves wet her clothes.Fei Yu tried to persuade her, but when he walked to her side, he saw that Xiao Ling'er was already in tears.

Feiyu said in surprise: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Little Ling'er lowered her head, and replied leisurely: "My lord, I'm dead."

Feiyu was still wondering: "Which prince?"

Little Ling'er sighed: "Which one else is there? Li Mao."

This time Feiyu was also very surprised. She never thought that Li Mao would disappear suddenly. He was only middle-aged, and he practiced Taoism all the year round. He knew how to take care of his body. He was always healthy and healthy. up?
But little Ling'er silently took out the white silk and tied it on her head. The other people on the boat looked blank, but little Ling'er took out the mourning clothes from the box and said softly: "I am a princess, although my name is not right The words are not good, but the prince should be filial when he passes away."

After she finished speaking, she also asked the people around her to put on filial piety clothes, and when they got ashore, their genius was bright. The carriage prepared by the Cao Gang had already been waiting at the ferry. White flowers have been hung on the plaque.

There was even more crying inside. The huge coffin was parked in the mourning hall. On one side, Li Ling passed out from crying several times. Fortunately, Zhou Zhengyi comforted him, but he couldn't bear the grief in his heart, while Li Huai cried loudly. , His cries could be heard from outside the house.

Little Ling'er bowed to the plaque of the palace, and then walked into the palace. When she came in, Li Ling got up with difficulty, and then walked out with Zhou Zhengyi's support.Little Ling'er walked to the front of the coffin first, burned incense, and then said in a low voice: "My son's condolences, son's condolences."

Li Mao's funeral took place for a full month, and many ministers from the court and central government came to express their condolences. It was noisy and bustling. After January, everyone was busy and busy. Due to the long vigil, Li Ling fainted several times.

If Xiao Ling'er hadn't given him pills to support him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive.Xiao Ling'er lived in the backyard, so it was quiet, but Zhou Zhengyi would come over to talk to her occasionally, and since she was the eldest daughter-in-law, she was also very busy.

It took a long time before she got the neutral position. Little Ling'er didn't ask how Li Mao got there, but she knew it very clearly in her heart, and couldn't help sighing that it was really admirable to be able to do so much for her children.

A few days later, Ji Zian came back. Now he has found a small official in the capital, who is Lord Yang's retainer. He is here on behalf of Lord Yang. He looked at Zhou Zhengyi from a distance, didn't speak, just talked to Li Ling said a few words, then left in a hurry.

When Li Mao went to the funeral, it was so lively that it couldn't be any more lively. Since he was a member of the royal family and was granted permission by the emperor, he was allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and Li Ling carried the coffin all the way north.At this time, he found Xiao Ling'er and said, "Can you come with me this time?"

Little Ling'er sighed, and said: "The prince can do this, so why not me?" After she finished speaking, she packed up her things and followed Li Ling to the capital.

The mighty send-off team, covering more than a dozen li, was on its way to the capital slowly. Along the way, governors from various prefectures, envoys from all walks of life, and yamen from all counties came to see him off one after another, and all of them mentioned Li Mao's achievements.

But everyone knows what this journey means, and some people know that after they enter Beijing, they may not come back again. If they come back next time, they will probably have to change the guard of honor.

Lord Inspector Wang of Shouzhou took Wang Shiwu for three hundred miles before turning back. At this time, he also said: "Everything changes so quickly."

Wang Shiwu sighed: "I hope they won't blame us for our ineffective rescue."

Inspector Wang sighed: "Don't worry about things that are uncertain. If you can see the future, are you still a mortal?"

While talking, they passed by Luoyang, crossed the Yellow River, and came to the imperial mausoleum. The emperor's guard of honor had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Li Mao coming, the emperor kissed the dragon chariot and cried a lot while supporting his coffin.
