Early this morning, Li Su and Wen Xin got into the carriage, and at the same time took their two sons and daughters, Li Mian and Youlan, and the convoy first went to the Song State Mansion, took Wen Xin's mother, Mrs. Zhou, to the carriage, and then followed the wide street to the western suburbs of Chang'an City.

Zhenguan 28 years of Chang'an City, has been very different from more than ten years ago Chang'an City, the most significant change, is that the boundaries of Chang'an City has become blurred, the former Chang'an City to the city wall as the boundary, is a boxy city, but with the development of these years, Chang'an City opened a large number of factories, these factories generally need to occupy a considerable area, the land in the city is simply not enough, so more and more factories moved to the outside of the city, forming a piece of industrial area.

It is precisely because of the existence of these industrial zones that the scope of Chang'an City is no longer limited to the city wall, and some areas outside the city wall have also spontaneously formed some residential areas or commercial areas, plus those prosperous industrial areas, so a new city appeared outside Chang'an City, and these places are collectively called Chang'an Xinfang by the people of Chang'an.

The western suburbs of Chang'an are no exception, when Li Su's carriage out of Yanping Gate, it seems that there is not much difference between inside and outside the city wall, the same wide street, the street is lined with shops on both sides, and the pedestrians are also dense, except for a few hundred meters of the city gate, because no buildings are allowed, so a section of vacant land is vacated, and all other places are built with dense houses.

Listening to the lively sounds outside, Wen Xin and his mother Mrs. Zhou sat together, talking in a low voice, among which Li Mian and Youlan snuggled in Mrs. Zhou's arms, and called "grandmother" sweetly from time to time, which made Mrs. Zhou's "heart, liver, baby" non-stop. His face was full of doting.

More than ten years have passed, and Mrs. Zhou is no longer the beautiful mature woman she was back then. Now she has a lot of wrinkles on her face, and her hair is black and white. Although she can still vaguely see her youthful demeanor from her eyebrows, after all, the years are not forgiving, and Mrs. Zhou's current appearance is more like an old woman in her twilight years.

"Mother, the husband wants to move the grave for her father, but the daughter doesn't dare to make the decision, so I want to ask your opinion?" At this time, Wen Xin asked, she couldn't make up her mind about moving the tomb. So I would like to ask my mother what she thinks.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou glanced at Li Su with a smile, and then said: "Liulang is bothered, for the matter of moving the tomb, even if Wen Xin doesn't say it today, I have to take the initiative to bring it up, and it's time for your father's tomb to be moved." ”

Hearing Mrs. Zhou's words, Wen Xin and Li Su were full of puzzlement, and they didn't understand why she said that it was time for Xiao Miao's tomb to be moved?

Mrs. Zhou saw the two of them, but she was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he spoke again: "This matter is a bit complicated to explain, and when you get there, you will understand!" ”

Hearing Mrs. Zhou say this, Li Su and Wen Xin didn't dare to ask again. And Mrs. Zhou also put all her body and mind on her grandson and granddaughter in her arms, kept talking to them, and asked some about Li Mian and Youlan's living conditions in Taiwan. As a result, the two children's answers made Mrs. Zhou very satisfied.

At the beginning, Xiao Mo was executed by Li Yuan, and the body was collected and buried by Xiao Yu. Then he found a cemetery in the western suburbs of Chang'an and buried it, because he was afraid of the reaction of the imperial court. So Xiao Yu didn't dare to bury him, but simply built an ordinary tomb.

But later, after Li Su knew Wenxin's life experience, he thought of his father-in-law who he had never met. He first greeted Li Shimin, and then in the name of Xiao Yu, he took out a large amount of money to rebuild the tomb for Xiao Miao, and everything was built according to the specifications of the emperor's mausoleum, for which a group of courtiers also provoked a group of courtiers to impeach Xiao Yu, saying that he was plotting against him, but fortunately, Li Shimin was pressed on it, so it didn't make much trouble.

Li Su's carriage passed through Xinfang outside the Yanping Gate, and soon came to a hill on the western outskirts of Chang'an, where Xiao Miao's mausoleum was located. Originally, this hill did not have a name, but later because Xiao Mill was buried here, it was called Lianghuang Mountain, and it is worth mentioning that five or six miles west of Lianghuang Mountain is the location of the Datang Military Academy and the Datang Medical College.

It's just that when Li Su's carriage arrived at Lianghuang Mountain, he and Wen Xin were stunned for a moment. When they returned to Chang'an from Dengzhou, they had come to worship Xiao Miao, and they remembered the environment of Lianghuangshan more clearly, but what they didn't expect was that when they came back more than ten years later, Lianghuangshan was no longer the desolate hill it was at the beginning.

I saw that at the foot of Lianghuang Mountain, a small town appeared there, the edge of the town was full of traffic coming and going, people shouted and neighed one after another, although Li Su's carriage was still some distance away from the town, but also felt the lively scene of this emerging town.

Seeing the lively town in front of them, Li Su and Wen Xin both looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The cemetery is the resting place of the deceased, Xiao Miao's tomb is halfway up Lianghuang Mountain, not far from the foot of the mountain, now there is such a lively town at the foot of the mountain, obviously the peace of the cemetery will be disturbed, no wonder Mrs. Zhou would think of moving the tomb.

When Li Su looked at the town in front of him in a daze, he heard Mrs. Zhou in the car speak: "This small town has only developed slowly after you went to Taiwan, because it is very close to the military academy and the medical school. ”

When Mrs. Zhou said this, she glanced at Li Su with a meaningful look. Whether it is a military academy or a medical school, they all have a deep relationship with Li Su, and when the site was selected and built for the two colleges, Li Su also single-handedly arranged it, so in a sense, it was Li Su who directly caused Xiao Miao's cemetery to be unpeaceful.

Li Su also realized the meaning conveyed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, and couldn't help but show a little wry smile on his face, where would he have thought that the military academy and medical school would actually drive the development of a town, and this town happened to be not far from his father-in-law's cemetery.

Bing Xue's smart Wen Xin also understood the meaning of her mother's gaze at this time, but she didn't blame Li Su, but smiled and held her husband's hand, and then relieved him: "Mother, let's hurry up the mountain, after worshipping my father, discuss how to move my father's grave?" ”

Mrs. Zhou is also a person who is well organized, and she also smiled and nodded when she heard the words, Li Su ordered the convoy to pass through the town, and only stopped when it was at the foot of the mountain, and then Li Su and Wen Xin helped Mrs. Zhou, Youlan's young age, tightly pulled the corner of Mrs. Zhou's clothes, Li Mian followed behind Li Su, and some maids followed behind with incense and candles and other sacrificial things.

"Father, isn't my grandfather the Book of Rites of the Tang Dynasty? And I saw him two days ago, why do you want to come to worship my grandfather today? "In the past, Li Mian and Youlan were relatively young, so Wen Xin didn't tell his two children about his life experience, and today it wasn't until he got into the carriage that Li Mian heard some information from the conversation between his father and grandmother.

Regarding his son's question, Li Su and Wen Xin glanced at each other, and then saw him reach out and touch the top of Li Mian's head and said: "Mian'er, you are not young anymore, and it is time for you to know something, in fact, your mother's life experience is not as simple as it seems......"

Li Mian said, telling the deeds of Li Mian's grandfather Xiao Mian, in addition, in order to protect Wenxin, Mrs. Zhou had to hide her life experience and enter the Song State Mansion to live, and in order not to attract attention, she also disguised herself as Xiao Cuo's concubine, and also told her son everything, which made Li Mian stunned, he really didn't expect that his mother's life experience would be so bizarre, and he finally understood why Lu Hong and Lu Qing brothers, as well as General Hu Li and General Zhou Long, were particularly friendly to him, It turned out that they were all their grandfather's old subordinates.

Compared with Li Mian's shock, the young Youlan only understood one thing, that is, the grandfather who was an official in the Tang Dynasty was not his real grandfather, and his grandfather died many years ago. However, in her young heart, she still felt that the living grandfather was more kind, and the last time he saw her, he gave her a lot of gifts.

The Li family climbed the mountainside of Lianghuang Mountain along the steps, here is a large open space, a large-scale mausoleum stands here, although the scale can not be compared with Li Yuan's dedication, but it is also larger than the scale of the prince's tomb, there are special mausoleum guards outside the mausoleum, responsible for the cleaning and sorting of the mausoleum, but standing in front of Xiao Miao's mausoleum, you can still hear the noise of the town under the mountain.

Seeing her father's mausoleum in front of her, Wen Xin's tears flowed out at once, she followed Li Su for more than ten years and did not return, every time Xiao Miao's sacrifice day, she could only sacrifice to the tablet, and could not personally sweep her father's tomb, so she was also very guilty in her heart, and now when she saw her father's tomb in front of her, she immediately couldn't control her feelings.

However, Mrs. Zhou seemed very calm, looking at her husband's mausoleum, but only sighed softly. As far as Li Su knows, since Wen Xin left Chang'an with her, Mrs. Zhou has to come here almost every month, after all, without the company of her daughter, she has some things in her heart that she can only tell her deceased husband.

Mrs. Zhou and Wen Xin walked in front, Li Su took the hands of the two children and walked behind, and then the five of them slowly entered the cemetery, but when they walked along the straight mausoleum road to the front of Xiao Miao's tombstone, several people were all stunned, only to see some sacrifices placed in front of Xiao Miao's tomb, and there were unburned incense candles and paper money next to it, and the fruits and other things in the sacrifices were still very fresh, and it would definitely not exceed three days, in other words, in the last few days, some people have come to worship Xiao Miao.

"Grandmother, look, there are so many flowers over there!" At this moment, Youlan suddenly pointed not far away and shouted. (To be continued......)
