94 Sorrow

The weather in April was already hot and humid, and Mrs. Wu was about to enter the age of 80 and finished her last life.

According to the principle of putting filial piety first, although Li Tianyang at this time did not resign from his official position and keep filial piety, he also wrote to the imperial court, temporarily suspended the authority of the admiral of the sailor, and concentrated on organizing the funeral of the old man in Keelung Town.

Mrs. Wu's health has been worse day by day in recent years, that is an indisputable fact, the health environment and medical environment of the ancients were already poor, and the old man can live to this is considered a happy mourning, at least when he left, the old man did not have a little pain, but left peacefully.

Li Tianyang's mood is also heavy, Mrs. Wu's love for him has been undoubtedly shown since he was a child, even if there are several grandchildren such as Li Tiansheng and Li Tianfang later, but Li Tianyang, as the eldest grandson, is still the one that the old lady loves the most.

Traveling to ancient times, it was the old lady's meticulous care and the uniqueness and spoiling of Li Tianyang that made Li Tianyang quickly correct his attitude, and he had a bond with this era and this family, and gradually settled down.

Now the death of the old lady also means that Li Tianyang will have one less person from now on to treat him as a treasure, no matter how majestic he is outside, when he returns home, Li Tianyang is still a child who does not grow up in the eyes of the old lady.

The whole Hongmen also prayed silently for Mrs. Wu, and hung a piece of white lanterns and ornaments everywhere, with a few years of this person who had never acted nonsense because of Li Tianyang's power, but often took Sanniang and their female dependents together, doing charity everywhere, and taking the lead in funding countless people who had just come to settle in Hongmen.

It is precisely because of the old lady's drive that the middle and high-level family members of Hongmen have always dared to do evil, and in Li Tianyang's heart to find something to do for the aging old lady Wu, in order to pass the mood of the old man's leisure and boring time, the old man also likes to visit the families of Hongmen who live a prosperous life, and persuade everyone to donate those useless old clothes, old furniture that has been around for some years, etc., to give to those homeless people who have just arrived and have nothing.

Gradually, driven by the old lady, many families in Hongmen began to accept this kind of charity, not only donating unnecessary and unnecessary items at home, but also donating money and food, and following the old lady to often approach the people at the bottom of Hongmen, to visit their needs, and at the same time to help them live better in Hongmen.

Mrs. Wu already believes in Buddhism, and naturally welcomes the lure of Li Tianyang's arrangement, and even sometimes pulls him, the head of the Hongmen, and forcefully puts forward opinions to him, sharing all kinds of dissatisfaction that her old man has heard from the bottom, which also gives Li Tianyang a lot of inspiration.

Just like Huang Youran's prestige among the people at the bottom, Mrs. Wu's selfless dedication without any personal desires has also won the heartfelt respect of these villagers at the bottom of Hongmen in her practical actions over the years.

With the death of the old man, the mourning hall set up by the Li Mansion in Keelung Town has been full of people from the beginning.

Among the people who came to worship the old lady, the vast majority of them did not come because of Li Tianyang's identity, but came to thank and miss the old lady.

Li De also came back, as a filial son, Li De has actually been thinking about taking Mrs. Wu to Luzon to live all these years, but the old lady's body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and the long journey has hurt her old man too much; Second, the old man was reluctant to leave Keelung Town, leaving his grandson, and the career sustenance he found in Keelung Town, but in the end he was rejected by the old lady.

Although, the old lady has always missed her only son, and she also wants him to be by her side all the time.

The old people left, and suddenly Li Tianyang realized that the relatives around him were gradually getting old, and his mother Sanniang was now wrinkled on her face, and her long dark hair was now a little more white.

Even his hair extension wife Chen Yumo, a few crow's feet gradually appeared in the corners of her eyes, although she was still glorious by nature, but she couldn't hide the fact that she was a thirty-five-year-old middle-aged woman.

The death of the old lady made the Li family really reunited together for the first time, Li De, Sanniang, Aunt Zhu Juan, Li Tianyang, Li Tiansheng, Li Jing (Pu Jia), etc., a family of eight gathered together, dressed the old lady in linen and filial piety, and sent the old man back to the west.

After the first seven, the number of people who came to worship gradually decreased, and Li Tianyang did not use his right to bury Mrs. Wu on the top of the West Mountain, but found another piece of feng shui treasure land to bury the old man's body.

The sadness enveloped Li Tian's family for more than a month before it finally began to dissipate. Although it was a happy funeral, the two backbones of the Li family, Li De and Li Tianyang, had infinite sorrow for the old man, so that everyone else had to follow them and immerse themselves in grief.

Li De also had to fall in the face of time, he was already fifty-five years old, and now his body has still begun to go downhill, although he is still the leader of the Luzon Shark, but in fact, in many things, he has begun to plan a successor.

In the early years of working hard at sea, Li De and his people naturally had a lot of overdraft actions, and all kinds of old injuries in the fight, but now as they get older, they have gradually come to the door and ask them to repay the old debts they once owed.

Li Tiansheng is now a young man in his early twenties, and although he can see the similarities between him and Li Tianyang's years, the development direction of the two brothers is completely incompatible.

Maybe it's because Zhu Juan worked hard in society for a period of time in her early years, but her eyesight is two points higher than Li Tianyang's mother, and their mother has followed Li De's side over the years, and Zhu Juan has not forgotten the cultivation of Li Tiansheng.

The current Li Tiansheng looks much weaker than Li Tianyang, and the whole person exudes a literati atmosphere, and a green cloth Confucian shirt is worn on him, which makes him a sharp contrast with Li De and Li Tianyang.

However, it is a pity that although Li Tiansheng has a strong literati atmosphere, because Li De was instigated by Li Tianyang to go south, he has not been able to participate in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, and he can only perform in the wild land of Luzon Islands.

Li Tianyang has been in a high position for many years, and now his vision is extraordinary, and in just over a month of contact, it is enough for Li Tianyang to have a preliminary understanding of his younger brother.
