Chapter 151 is gone

A few days after the small ceremony, Cheng Guifei summoned Li Xiaonuan, Mrs. Li's illness has not been improved, Mrs. Zhou accompanied Li Xiaonuan, together with Princess Runan, entered the Yuncui Palace, Cheng Guifei took Li Xiaonuan brought over the purse and other needlework full of praise, has been left Li Xiaonuan for lunch, rewarded a pair of jade bracelets, a set of new red gold head jewelry, more than a dozen new tribute into various colors of materials and other things, the emperor also let people send a gold inlaid jade Ruyi, rewarded Li Xiaonuan.

Within a few days, King Cheng's Mingfa excerpt was handed into the palace, impeaching the prince of Runan for forcibly seizing **, and impeaching the right prime minister Yan Qingshan for dereliction of duty.

With full of grievances and sorrows, the king of Runan staggered all the way into the palace to ask to see the emperor, as soon as he entered the inner study, he threw himself on the ground in front of the emperor's book, and stumbled on the ground with his head, and before the words came out, he cried bitterly and lost his voice, crying hoarsely, and couldn't say a word.

The Tang family even called out to hit the sky, and Prime Minister Yan Cheng was terrified, and he didn't say a word about not observing Cheng Ke's forcible seizure of **, only explaining in detail all the things that might make King Cheng unhappy, bit by bit, all trivial.

The emperor was furious, and Zhu criticized the four bloody characters of "mean and unkind" on the fold of King Cheng, and sent it out, and passed on the edict, reforming King Cheng for a year, and called "...... Cheng and Li are relatives, and if there are any more people who dare to criticize, they will criticize me......"

This whirlwind of unsubscribing and resubscribing, before it rises, was beaten by this paper edict without a trace, the family affairs of the prince of Runan Wang and Li Xiaonuan, for a while, only said good, and no one dared to say half a word.

Li Xiaonuan watched the transcript of the emperor's Zhu Pi and the emperor's edict, breathed a long sigh of relief, and relaxed in his heart, this matter can be regarded as a peaceful past, Runan Wangfu and Jingwangfu took advantage of this incident.

In the twilight of spring, Mrs. Li's body is getting worse day by day, and she has changed seven or eight doctors in a row, and the amount of ginseng and cinnamon in the medicine is increasing more and more, but the people are getting weaker and weaker, and the doctor euphemistically hints that the ancient family should prepare for the old lady.

Li Xiaonuan was so distressed that he sent the imperial doctor and sent Mama Sun and others all over the capital to inquire and look for a famous doctor to ask Mrs. Li for a pulse.

Old Madam Li stopped Li Xiaonuan's panicked search with pity, and persuaded her in a slow and low voice,

"Girl, you have to open some, old ancestor...... When you are old and old, you have to go, don't bother those useless thoughts, you will accompany the ancestors, let's talk for a few more days, the ancestors are gone, and they are very relieved. ”

Li Xiaonuan only cried so much that she couldn't raise her head, and she no longer sent people to look for her, and never left Mrs. Li's side every day from morning to night.

In the middle of May, Mrs. Li's diet is decreasing day by day, and she only relies on ginseng soup every day, Gu Xiao is worried about Mrs. Li, and she comes back almost every other day, and goes to Mingyuan Hall to ask An to serve the sick, he comes, Li Xiaonuan is far away, Mrs. Li comforts and relieves Gu Xiao, and sends him back to Tang Mansion to study after a few words.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Li, who was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and was also anxious and worried, she came to Mingyuan Hall every day, but there were many trivial matters up and down the house, and she had to rebuild a new house and a new courtyard for Gu Xiao's newlywed.

In late spring and early summer, the courtyard of Mingyuan Hall was full of flowers, Li Xiaonuan waited for Mrs. Li to drink a bowl of ginseng soup, Mrs. Li seemed to be in better spirits, and instructed Li Xiaonuan to help her lean on the big pillow, half lying on the bed, looking at Mama Sun standing in the corner of the bed, and commanded in a weak and slow voice:

"Bring it."

Mama Sun nodded and motioned to Zhu Ye, who hurriedly withdrew with the maid who was waiting in the house.

Mama Sun watched the girls and mothers-in-law withdraw, turned around and entered the dark room behind Mrs. Li's bed, and after a while, she came out with a Huanghuali box that was only one and a half feet square, held it and put it beside Mrs. Li, and gently opened the box.

Old Madam Li beckoned to Li Xiaonuan, motioned for her to sit beside her, pointed to the box, smiled and whispered:

"Girl, you see, the dowry of the ancestors is all in this box."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li and the box a little confused, Mrs. Li leaned back, gasped and rested for a while before continuing:

"When the ancestor married into the Gu family, the Gu family ...... It's not rich. ”

Mrs. Li paused, closed her eyes slightly, and was silent for a long time as if she was asleep, before she opened her eyes, looked at Li Xiaonuan and continued:

"Let Grandma Sun tell you."

Li Xiaonuan nodded, and Grandma Sun looked at Mrs. Li sadly, bent her knees at Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"Here, there are a total of sixteen Zhuangzi, Xiuzhou Mansion six, Yuezhou Mansion four, six around the capital, ordinary year, a year of about 80,000 taels of silver, forty-seven shops, there are embroidery workshops, wine shops, carriages and horses, grain shops, a total of about 400,000 taels of silver, in addition, there are three million 400,000 taels of silver, all of which are stored in several large silver villages, antiques and other bulky things, collected in the capital and Shangli Town several warehouses, detailed brochures are in the box."

Li Xiaonuan listened to Grandma Sun's explanation blankly, blinked her eyes a little inexplicably, turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile, let out a long breath, and said slowly:

"Sixteen Zhuangzi, left to Xiao Er, forty-seven shops, to give you a dowry, those cash silver, 1.4 million taels for you, two million taels for Xiao Er to keep for slow use, and the bulky things in the treasury are also left for Xiao Er."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li dumbfounded, and only spoke after a while,

"Old Ancestor"

Li Xiaonuan's words choked in his throat, choking on tears like rain, and he was able to speak again after a while.

"Ancestor, this is your dowry, it's all the things of the Gu family, it's the things of Gu Xiao, I don't want it, I can't ask for it, the ancestor doesn't need it...... Don't give it to me. ”

Old Madam Li leaned back, looked at Li Xiaonuan with gentle eyes, and rested for a while before continuing:

"Girl, these things, the ancestor has long wanted to leave them to you and Xiao'er, if you are in one place, you will stay in one place, and if you are not in one place, you will give them to Xiao'er and you ......"

Old Madam Li gasped and rested for a while before continuing:

"Girl, take it, in the future, you will use more silver in the Runan Palace, you don't have a mother's family, and the Gu family doesn't have anyone who can be relied on, so you can only keep more silver in your own hands...... No matter what, you can have some confidence......"

Old Madam Li's face flushed, she gasped and paused, and after a pause, she continued:

"Xiao'er and his mother, they don't know how to operate, let them rely on Zhuangzi...... And the cash, it's enough, shop...... You took care of it too...... It's been two years, and it's been well managed...... Fabulous, for you...... Ancestors rest assured. ”

Old Madam Li talked a lot, her breath was intermittent, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stepped forward to stroke her chest and helped her lie down,

"The ancestor will take a rest first, and then talk after a while."

Mama Sun hurriedly poured a bowl of ginseng soup from the warm slum and handed it over, Mrs. Li shook her head impatiently,

"I don't drink it, I hate it the most...... The taste of this ginseng soup is no longer drunk. ”

Li Xiaonuan quietly motioned to Mama Sun to bring down the ginseng soup first, and waited for Mrs. Li to lie down, and after a while, Mrs. Li fainted tiredly and fell asleep.

After two days, Mrs. Li was even more difficult to get up, and in one day, more than half of the time she fell asleep, and the doctor checked the pulse, vaguely implying that the old lady's limit, that is, these two days, should be prepared, and she had to prepare quickly.

Gu Xiao followed Mr. Yun to take leave, rushed back to Mingyuan Hall, and stayed outside sadly, and Mrs. Zhou did not dare to leave Mingyuan Hall for half a step, waiting day and night.

Mrs. Li slept for a day, woke up in the evening, drank two mouthfuls of ginseng soup, sobered up, and asked for a bowl of bird's nest porridge and ate two spoonfuls.

Mama Sun stood in the shade of the corner of the bed, tears raining down, but she didn't dare to say a word, she only pushed Li Xiaonuan and signaled to her.

Old Madam Li turned her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou and Gu Xiao who were guarding the bed, and commanded in a low but clear voice:

"You two go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow, let's go."

Mrs. Zhou hesitated and turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan stood in front of the bed, only looking at Mrs. Li with sad eyes, Grandma Sun took half a step forward and bent her knees to persuade:

"Madame has been tired for the past few days, if she is sick, won't this house be even more chaotic? Madame go back and rest first, in case anything happens, it will be too late to send someone to call Madame over. ”

Mrs. Zhou hesitated slightly, nodded, turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, and said softly:

"Mother, then I'll take Xiao'er back to rest first, and come back early tomorrow morning."

Old Madam Li lowered her eyes and agreed, and Mrs. Zhou took Gu Xiao to retire and went back out of Mingyuan Hall.

Mrs. Li motioned to Li Xiaonuan, helped her to half-lie on the bed, looked at Grandma Sun and commanded:

"You go to the door and watch, I'll talk to Xiao Nuan."

Mama Sun was so sad that she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Li, she lowered her eyes and agreed, withdrew the maid who was waiting in the house, and stood outside the door and waited.

Li Xiaonuan sat sideways on the edge of the bed, looking at Mrs. Li who suddenly became energetic, tears flowed all the way, and she couldn't stop it.

Old Madam Li looked at her, smiled and sighed and said:

"The old ancestor is only afraid that he will be so good at kung fu, if you don't say it, it will be too late, don't cry, listen to the old ancestor."

Li Xiaonuan couldn't stop her tears, she only choked and kept nodding, Old Madam Li let out a long breath and said bluntly:

"Girl, the ancestor is leaving, everything can be put down, only one thing, Xiao Er's father's grievances have been held back in the ancestor's heart for ten years, and he can't let go no matter what"

Birth, old age, sickness and death, who can hide from this reincarnation?

Xiao Xian wrote sadly and remembered his grandmother, who died young

Farewell, only hope that the next life will be better
