The bearded guest's family all moved to the Americas, and even his relatives and friends followed, the only ones who were close to him and stayed in the Tang Dynasty were Li Jing and Li Xiu's two families, the news of the death of the bearded guest was notified to him by Li Chengqian, and there was one more thing in the letter accompanying Li Chengdao, that is, the funeral documents of the bearded guest.

Funeral is the first ritual after the death of a person, and it is said that this etiquette has been formed in the Zhou Dynasty, its main role is to tell all relatives and friends the news of someone's death, since the other party has known the news, still in accordance with the rules to report the funeral.

There are two funeral documents, one is for Li Xiu, and the other is naturally for Li Jing, and along with the funeral documents, there is also a letter from Zhang Shiyi, which mainly writes about the situation before the death of some bearded guests, as well as some words left by the bearded guests to Li Xiu before his death.

Although the bearded guest and Li Xiu have no blood relationship, he admires Li Xiu very much, and even wanted to kidnap Li Xiu away, so before he died, he also deliberately left a lot of last words for Li Xiu, but maybe the bearded guest is old, and most of the last words are some chattering trivialities, many of which are related to his family or Li Xiu's family, for example, he hopes that Li Xiu will take more care of Zhang Shiyi's family in the future, because although Zhang Shiyi has gone to the Americas now, he will still return to Datang to live in the future.

In addition to the above things, the bearded guest also left a sentence that made him very embarrassed, that is, the funeral documents, according to the rules, the funeral documents must be sent by the close sons and nephews, but the bearded guest has no relatives in the Tang Dynasty, so Li Xiu's funeral documents were sent together with Li Chengdao's letters, and they were barely sent to him by Li Chengdao.

However, the remaining funeral document was given to Li Jing and the Red Whisk Lady couple, when the bearded guest and Li Jing and his wife became brothers and sisters with different surnames, the relationship between the three is also very deep, it can be said that Li Jing and his wife are one of the people he is most concerned about in this world, and it is precisely because of this that before he died, he hoped that his son and nephew could send his funeral documents to Li Jing's mansion, which also seemed more formal.

Of course, now Datang is the only one who can be regarded as a nephew by the bearded guest, so he actually wants Li Xiu to send his funeral documents to Li Jing, and this is also the last wish of the bearded guest before he dies, that is, he hopes to make Li Xiu and Li Jing's father and son let go of their original grievances, even if they can't reconcile, but don't be like enemies.

Li Xiu is also very clear about the idea of the bearded guest, but he really doesn't want to have anything to do with Li Jing, in fact, he has not been to Li Jing's house for almost 20 years, at most he has sent someone to give some gifts to the Red Whisk Girl, of course, the Red Whisk Girl also comes to visit his house from time to time, mainly to see Li Xiu's children, after all, most of her children are not in Chang'an, and she is getting older, and she likes children more and more, so the children of Li Xiu's family have been taken care of by the grandmother of the Red Whisk Girl.

But Li Xiu's respect for the Red Whisk Girl does not mean that he will respect Li Jing, in fact, he is actually a very grudgeful person, and it is difficult for him to forgive each other in the future if he makes him hate, so he has not had any contact with Li Jing over the years, even if he meets in the court, he also ignores the other party, of course, Li Jing's attitude towards Li Xiu is the same.

"This is the last wish left by the bearded guest, I think you can help him fulfill this wish, after all, besides you, there is no second person who can help him deliver this funeral document." In the study, Ma Ye took the funeral document and looked at it and said, Li Xiu took out this document to ask his opinion, and after careful consideration, he still decided to persuade Li Xiu to send it in person, after all, he has also reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he can better understand the mood of the bearded guest before his death.

Hearing that Ma Ye also persuaded himself to send it, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, in fact, it was nothing to send a document, but when he thought of meeting Li Jing, he felt very embarrassed, because he didn't know what to say to the other party?

"I know you haven't been able to forgive Li Jing, but I think you can think about it like this, don't treat Li Jing as your father, I remember that the other party is in his seventies this year, and he is also in his prime, and I remember that Jin'er still follows him to learn the art of war, even if he doesn't regard him as Jin'er's grandfather, he is also Jin'er's teacher, and he has no reservations about Jin'er, and even the art of war at the bottom of the box has been taken out. There is only Jin'er. Seeing Li Xiu's hesitation, Ma Ye immediately spoke again to persuade.

Li Xiu heard Ma Ye mention that Jin'er followed Li Jing to learn the art of war, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll go tomorrow, anyway, it's just to send a document, and I'll leave and come back after handing over the paperwork to him!" ”

Seeing Li Xiu's promise, Ma Ye finally laughed and said loudly: "That's right, a manly man, you must have the courage to take it and put it down, otherwise what's the difference with a woman?" ”

For Ma Ye's praise, Li Xiu also had a feeling of crying and laughing, he just went to deliver a paperwork, how could he compare it with a woman?

Now that the decision has been made, Li Xiu is no longer entangled in this matter, and this funeral document has been sent for several days, and it is impossible to stay here anymore, so early the next morning, Li Xiu asked people to prepare a carriage and personally went into Chang'an to report the funeral to Li Jing.

Li Jing's Weiguo Mansion is located near Chang'an East City, and it is not very close to the imperial city, although Li Xiu sat in the car with his eyes closed, he could still hear people discussing things related to Li Chengqian on the street from time to time, although the Donggong rebellion case has been decided, and Du He and others have also been beheaded, but the aftermath of this incident has not disappeared, especially the fact that Li Chengqian did not die after the rebellion, which has attracted the interest of many people.

Thinking that Li Chengqian was about to leave Chang'an, Li Xiu also felt a little empty in his heart, but he had done everything he had to do, and the only thing he could do for Li Chengqian now was to see him off in person when he left Beijing.

Li Xiu was thinking about Li Chengqian, but the carriage moved forward quickly, and finally came to the Weiguo Mansion, and when he got off the carriage and looked up to see the plaque of the Weiguo Mansion, the expression on his face was also in a trance, remembering that the last time he came here, he still took Qi Niang out of the house, and he didn't expect that he would come here again one day.
