Mama Li died in the middle of the night on the night of her 60th birthday.

At that time, Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yan Leng were all there, but we were all asleep.

Early in the morning on her birthday, Bai Xiaoqiu changed the newly bought pillow to Mama Li.

Bai Yanleng also hung the birthday gift cloth in the middle hall.

I lit two red candles on the table and placed the two little golden cats that I had prepared in advance with the candles.

During the day, the ladies and ladies in the house, headed by Mrs. Mu, gave Mama Li a grand and lively birthday.

Mrs. Mu thought thoughtfully, and invited a small girl with a dragon and lion dance, dancing from noon to evening.

When it got dark, Bai Qingrui and I set off fireworks. Bai Xiaoqiu and his two brothers watched from the sidelines.

Chu Lianwei also came with her son Xuan Jun.

The Xuan Jun stared at the fireworks in my hand, wanting but not daring to ask for it. So I gave him some.

The boy turned around and gave him the fireworks.

Bai Xiaoqiu hugged Hyun Jun with a grin, kissed him on the face, and then set off fireworks with him.

Brilliant fireworks flew into the sky with a whoosh, and then burst open, only to see a cloud of colorful light splashing in all directions, like blooming peony flowers.

In an instant, it disappeared into the endless night sky, leaving only a shadowless gray smoke.

Chu Lianwei followed behind Bai Xiaoqiu, Xuan Jun rode on Bai Xiaoqiu's neck, and the family was very happy.

I am both happy for Mama Li's birthday and sad for the scene in front of me.

Originally, I could have been, I should have been too, enjoying the warmth and laughter of my family.

Looking up at the sky, there are thousands of thoughts, tears flashing, think about it, when the glitz fades, people don't know how lonely they are compared to this fireworks.

Seeing me like this, Bai Qingrui asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Su, today is Mama Li's birthday, and there are such beautiful fireworks, why do I see the hesitation and loneliness on your face."

Bai Yanleng also walked over and patted me on the shoulder.

I smiled at his uncle and nephew, "Overjoyed."

Although Mama Li couldn't speak, she only occasionally opened her eyes and looked weakly, and then closed them again.

We can still feel her joy and happiness.

A happy late play, so I rested in Mama Li's house.

At that time, I was lying on the edge of Mama Li's bed, and I was sleeping in a daze when I felt something hit my back.

I was so frightened that I suddenly woke up, only to find that it was Mama Li's hand.

I hurriedly and gently took her hand, which was stiff and hard, without a trace of warmth, and I reached out to Mama Li's nose and probed it.

Suddenly I screamed and cried.

Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng also woke up immediately, and they both ran over and knelt in front of Mama Li's bed.

The two of them were in tears, and they wept silently, while I was crying.

The cry also woke up the maid sleeping in the back room, and rushed to Mama Li with an arrow step, and cried loudly.

The guards on patrol heard the crying, walked to the door to take a look, and immediately ran to inform Bai Zhanqi.

After a while, Bai Zhanqi and Mrs. Mu came one after the other.

Mrs. Mu clasped herself on my shoulder, crying bitterly. Bai Zhanqi stood aside, his brows furrowed.

After a while, he ordered the guards who were guarding the interrogation to go to the butler and whip him.

I could only hear the three thumping whips, and after a while, all the ladies and ladies and ladies of the Bai Mansion, as well as all the soldiers and soldiers, all gathered in Mama Li's house.

The cry shook the sky.

Mrs. Mu is the first lady of the White Mansion in the end, she is dignified and thoughtful, and she has long been concerned about Mama Li's situation.

In private, he ordered someone to make a funeral dress, and someone brought it to Mama Li to change into.

The unburned red candles on the table were replaced with white candles, and the clothes worn were replaced with mourning clothes.

Bai Zhanqi ordered people to replace all the red silk in the house with white silk, and the red lanterns with white lanterns and white rhombic flowers.

In an instant, the entire Baifu presented a desolate scene.

Mama Li's mourning banner is not in the mourning hall, nor is it at the gate of Baifuzheng, but a temporary mourning shed, and the mourning flag is outside the mourning shed, in Mama Li's house.

There are three mourning flags, the big one is about two zhang seven, wrapped in white cloth, the sail is one zhang and two feet long, six feet wide, there is a white cloth strip on the left and right, seven feet long and nine inches wide, in the middle of the mourning tent.

Mrs. Mu held out until the second night, and when she left, she ordered several maidservants to take turns guarding it.

I guarded with Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng, and on the fifth night, Azu and Rourou also came.

The two knelt down in front of Mama Li's coffin three times.

Azu got up and glanced at me, seeing that my eyes were red, he couldn't help but come over to comfort me, he put his hand on my shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Miss Su, now that Mama Li has gone, don't be too sad."

I looked at Azu, and the tears couldn't help but flow down again.

Azu wiped my tears for me, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was blocked back by Bai Xiaoqiu on the side.

Bai Xiaoqiu looked at Azu with sharp eyes, and said, "Mama Li's bones are not cold, don't make a mistake in front of her old man."

Azu looked at Mama Li's coffin, bowed deeply, turned around and arched his hand to Bai Xiaoqiu, "The lesson of the twelve young people is that Azu knows." looked at me again and said, "Miss Su, I almost offended you just now, girl, please don't blame."

I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, I was intercepted by Bai Xiaoqiu, and he said, "Azu, did you offend Mr. Su less, in order to save you, she did not hesitate to take the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, and the general who was killed was so angry that she almost did it with her."

Azu hurriedly said earnestly, "How can I, Azu, let the girl treat me like this."

I looked into Azu's eyes, and I told him, "Azu, what others think of you, that's someone else's business, in my Su Feifei's eyes, you are only a trustworthy person, a person worthy of trust, your innocence, your kindness, your cleverness, you will lend a hand and help someone who has nothing to do with you, just for this, I will not doubt your personality at all, I believe in you."

Azu was moved to tears by what I said, and tears flowed out.

Think of him locked up in prison, beaten half to death, his life hanging by a thread.

was finally released, but he lost his official position again. After so many years, I finally saw a ray of light, and suddenly fell into a bottomless black hole.

I'm afraid that this time I don't know how long I have to climb before I can climb to the mouth of the well and see the light again.

Looking at me, Azu swore and said, "Thank you Miss Su for your trust, in front of Mama Li, and in front of everyone present, my Azu put down his words today, and in the future, my Azu's life will be Mr. Su's yours, and in the future, no matter what kind of danger Mr. Su encounters, my Azu will definitely fight with his life and protect you."

As soon as Azu's words were finished, Bai Xiaoqiu on the side sneered, "It's up to you, and you are also worthy, you don't look at what your identity is now, to put it mildly, it sounds like an ordinary little guard in the Bai Mansion, to put it mildly, what is the difference between you and the Huahua in captivity with my family, you can't even protect yourself, and you want to protect others, it's just a fool's dream."

Azu's body trembled, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but stand up and confront Bai Xiaoqiu, "Twelve Shao, don't say that I, Azu, offended you today, dare to ask who was the one who ignored Miss Su that day, and let her fall in the wind and rain, who hurt her to shed tears and sadness, who harmed her and almost died." If my Azu can't protect Miss Su, the twelve young people of the dignified White Mansion can't protect her either. My Azu may not have much ability, but I will do my best, do my best, I will not make the girl sad, and what about you, what have you done."

At this time, Bai Xiaoqiu also stood up, he pulled Azu's arm, and Azu leaned forward and grabbed Bai Xiaoqiu's collar.

I was angry and anxious, and yelled, "In front of Mama Li, you dare to make a big noise, you are too reckless, the dead are gone, and the living are like this, so how can the people under Jiuquan live in peace."

Bai Yan Leng hurriedly stepped forward to grab Bai Xiaoqiu, and said straightly, "Fourth brother, what are you doing here."

Rourou also hurriedly grabbed Azu and pulled Azu to stand beside her.

After this commotion, I had to let Azu and Rourou go back first, and I would talk about it later.

Looking at Azu, and then looking at Bai Xiaoqiu, who was so angry that his face was pale, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, these two people, both of whom I care about, both claim to protect me, but no one can protect anyone.

The three of us sat down again to keep a vigil.

In the second half of the night, Bai Yan Leng couldn't stand it anymore and fell down in front of the coffin.

Bai Xiaoqiu sent him back to the Shadow Pavilion, and the rest of the maidservants were also sent back to sleep by me.

Now I am alone in front of the coffin, keeping my head tilted and falling asleep.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on cotton wool, and under my body were soft and thick futons placed together, spread out into a small bed the size of a recliner. And I still have a shirt on my body.

When I turned my head to look, I saw Bai Xiaoqiu leaning on the pillar, her eyes closed, as if she was also asleep, shivering from the cold.

In the second half of the night, it is still quite cold, and unlike the daytime, the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

I walked over lightly and slowly put my shirt on top of him.

But such a light movement still woke him up, or it was too cold for him to fall asleep at all.

He looked at me in a dim and dim way, in a trance, with a silver flash, and pulled me into his arms and called me "Fanfan, is it you?"

Mama Li's coffin was built by Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng for nearly a thousand taels of silver and found the best carpenter master in Luoyang City.

It was placed in Baifu for fifteen days, and in the early morning of the sixteenth day, the sun had just shown half of its face, and the early morning wind blew through every corner of Baifu with a slight chill.

Mama Li's coffin slowly rose, and was carried out of the side gate of the White Mansion by eight sturdy guards, bypassing the main street of Luoyang City and heading straight out of Luoyang City.

Nearly fifty or sixty monks and Taoists chanted the scriptures, and the procession at the funeral was mighty and mighty, as heroic as a mountain of silver on the ground.

In Baifu, except for the old people over 60 years old and the children below the beginning, the rest are all among them, wearing white filial piety clothes, beating gongs and drums all the way, sad and sad.

I cried with a splitting headache, my body was crooked, and the white face on the side pulled me coldly.
