Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 96
After hearing Li Lijun's question, Li Shen was still thinking about what to say to her. Seeing her frequently looking out of the lobby, he followed her and found that it was a steward of the Sui Palace who was winking at Li Lijun outside the door. He immediately understood. What's the matter.

In the past two days, because he was worried about Lin Jiulang's injury and angry at the arrogance of the Pei family dude, he put aside the "business" he had to do in Qiaoling. It must be because someone questioned his grandfather Is his condition really as critical as they Zou Wangfu claimed?Before he left Chang'an City, there were royal family members who came to his home every day to inquire, which disturbed the Sui Palace, and it was nothing unusual, maybe there was a holy intention mixed in here.

He just couldn't help feeling pity for Li Lijun, his niece. He felt sorry for her at such a young age. She had just suffered the pain of losing her mother, and was sent by her grandfather to inquire about the news.

He sighed, reached out and touched Li Lijun's head: "Are you also worried about my Aunt's condition? Don't worry, although his condition is not very good, nothing will happen in a short time. Our children and grandchildren now have Try to follow his wishes in everything, and dare not have the slightest intention of disobedience. As long as Ah Weng is in a happy mood, his condition will gradually improve."

This reason is very good, advance can be attacked, and retreat can be defended. No matter whether the old King Zou's condition is good or bad, Prince Zou's mansion has ways to deal with the doubts from the outside world.

Li Lijun blinked, and said softly: "Uncle Shen came to Qiaoling to check the tomb because of the request of the great uncle, right?"

Li Shen smiled and said: "Yes. In fact, everyone in the family thinks that there is no need to make this trip. My grandmother and parents still feel that it is a bit taboo. But my old man insists that I come, saying that he is still sane now. , to prepare everything that should be prepared, so as to save him from going in the future. The family is sad and busy, and everything is not well thought out, which makes people laugh. My father wanted to persuade him again, but Ah Weng lost his temper , almost fell ill, who dares to say anything? The tomb really needs to be repaired, so I simply repaired it to make it more public, and let me know, I really took his old man's words to heart, and followed everything He meant to do it."

Li Lijun smiled: "That's how it is. Although the great uncle is sick, he still understands. It's a pity that Er's family has filial piety, so it's not easy to visit him. When Uncle Shen returns home, how about greeting him for Er'er's family? There are still some presents from Er's family, please take Uncle Shen along with them, it's just that Er's family honors Great-Uncle and thank Great-Uncle for avenging the murder of mother for Er's family, please don't be disgusted by Great-Uncle."

Li Shen said: "How can my old man despise you? He loves you very much. When you go back to Chang'an, just go and see him. What is there to be taboo about your family? Gifts come second. He is only happy when he sees you." !"

Li Lijun naturally happily agreed, but whether he really wanted to visit Old Zou Wang was another matter.She respects the old man in her heart, and of course she has to worry about what the family members think, and will not take Li Shen's polite words seriously.

The steward of Prince Zou's Mansion came to report to Li Shen about the repair of the tomb. Li Lijun didn't bother Li Shen to deal with the business. Hong went back to the room.

Afterwards, she didn't need to say much, Cui Nanny told the answer provided by Li Shen to the steward of the Sui Palace who came to inquire about the news.The middle-aged steward heard this, thoughtfully: "I see, it seems that the condition of old King Zou is not critical."

Li Lijun said: "Although it is not critical, the old man is obviously already preparing for his death. Whether it is the cemetery, family members, or titles, we hope that the arrangements can be as thorough as possible so that the great uncle can feel at ease. His family members dare not If you go against his wishes, you are afraid that he will get angry and make a bad show of anger."

She looked at the steward: "Ah Weng wants to know, is this right? In fact, the great uncle is also very old, and has always been loyal to the court. He suffered a lot when he was young, and he made contributions to the late emperor and the present when he was young. , now I just hope that my children and grandchildren can live in peace, isn't that too much?"

The steward smiled and withdrew.These things are not something his servant can discuss.

After getting the answer, the steward didn't even have lunch, so he hurriedly left with his entourage.When passing by the bridge mausoleum, he also saw the eye-catching black scorched marks on the avenue, and remembered all the gossip he had heard in the lobby of the inn, so he decided to report this news to the prince, and by the way Concubine Dou said.Aren't the brothers from the Lin family that Pei's son is talking about related to Concubine Dou?Now that the heir concubine Chen has passed away, the power of the Sui Palace has returned to Concubine Dou, and he also sells the mistress for a favor.

Not long after the steward left, the Lin brothers had lunch and said goodbye to Li Lijun and Li Shen. They left the inn and went to their residence in the county town. Afterwards, there were only people from Zou Wangfu and Sui Wangfu left in the inn.

However, Li Shen has to be busy repairing the tomb, but also pays attention to the movements on the other side of the bridge tomb. At the same time, he has to hand over documents to the capital with Lin Silang, so that he can participate in the Pei family's book. Most of the time, he is very busy and can't take care of it. Li Lijun was a little girl, so Li Lijun felt that there was no need for her to stay in Fengxian County.

At night, she realized that the full moon in the sky could no longer bring her spiritual power growth like the full moon last night, so she asked the people around her to leave.

Nanny Cui hesitated: "Didn't the little lady say that I should look around Fengxian County to see if there is any suitable place to bury my lady? Why did it only take two or three days before..."

Erhong interjected: "We were planning to leave. If the prince hadn't sent the steward to ask the young lady to ask Mr. Erlang of Zou Wangfu for information, we wouldn't have stayed in Fengxian County until now. Now everything is over. , what reason do we have to continue to stay here?"

Mother Cui sighed: "Originally, when we returned to Chang'an, it was very possible to catch up with the lady's 'three sevens', but now it has been delayed for a few days, and it is too late, so we can only sacrifice to the lady outside. Just as the prince said earlier, Let the little lady not be in a hurry to go back, we can simply look outside for a few more good lands."

Nanny Cui has always been thinking about the place of Chen's burial. In the past two days, she was listening to other people's gossip in the inn, and she actually found out a good place. She wanted to go over and have a look. She was about to tell Li Lijun, but Li Lijun proposed Got to go.

Li Lijun asked her where the place she was looking for was, and after hearing the answer, she couldn't help being a little speechless.

That place is quite close to Qiaoling, about a dozen miles northwest of Fengxian County, next to Jinzhi Mountain, and a few miles westward is Qiaoling.Cui Nanny thought that the terrain was open and the feng shui was good, and it was on the only way from Qiaoling to Fengxian County, so it was convenient for people from the Sui Palace to go to Qiaoling to pay homage to the Queen of Sui and the Chen family. Very suitable location.

Li Lijun thought with some headaches, of course this location is very good, the problem is that that area seems to be the location for Jingling in the future.The owner of Jingling, Tang Xianzong, is not yet born, and his grandfather, Dezong Li Shi, is only seven years old.However, during the reign of Xianzong, his style was relatively strong. Do you expect him to change the layout of his mausoleum for the tomb of a deceased imperial concubine?Still dreaming faster.

Li Lijun had no choice but to persuade Nanny Cui: "Look at the layout of the Tailing Mausoleum that the sage is building, and the layout of the Qiaoling Mausoleum. You know that the royal family will build an imperial mausoleum in the future, and most of them will use mountains as mausoleums. Since the Fengshui in Fengxian County is good, How dare we bury our relatives so easily in the mountains in this area? What if some saint in the future chooses Jinzhi Mountain as the burial place behind him, what will you do with my mother's tomb?"

Nanny Cui's eyes widened in shock, and she stopped insisting immediately.
