Early this morning, Li Yan and Wen Xin got on the carriage, and at the same time took their children, Li Mian and Youlan. The convoy first went to the Duke of Song's mansion, took Wen Xin's mother, Mrs. Zhou, to the carriage, and then followed. The wide streets come to the western suburbs of Chang'an City.

The Chang'an City in the 28th year of Zhenguan has long been very different from the Chang'an City more than ten years ago. The most significant change is that the boundaries of Chang'an City have become blurred. In the past, Chang'an City was bounded by the city walls. A big city with a square footage, but with the development of these years, a large number of factories have been opened in Chang'an City. These factories generally need to occupy a considerable area, and the land in the city is not enough, so more and more factories are moved to Outside the city, one industrial zone after another was formed.

It is precisely because of the existence of these industrial areas that the scope of Chang'an City is no longer limited to the city wall. Some areas outside the city wall have spontaneously formed some residential or commercial areas, plus those prosperous industrial areas, so A new city appears 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 Yan's carriage left Yanping Gate, he found that there seemed to be no big difference between inside and outside the city wall. It was also a wide street with shops on both sides of the street and pedestrians were also dense, except for the city gate. Within a few hundred meters, there was no open space outside the open space, and dense houses were built in other places.

Listening to the lively voice outside, Wen Xin and his mother Mrs. Zhou were sitting together, whispering, among which Li Mian and Youlan were snuggling in Mrs. Zhou's arms, and from time to time he called out "grandmother" sweetly, Mrs. Zhou screamed constantly, her face full of doting.

More than ten years have passed, and Mrs. Zhou is no longer the beautiful mature woman she used to be. Now she has a lot of wrinkles on her face. Her hair is also mixed with black and white. Although you can still see her when she was young from her eyebrows. His style, but after all, time is unforgiving, and Mrs. Zhou looks more like an old woman entering her twilight years.

"Mother, my husband wants to move the tomb for his father, but his daughter dare not make decisions, so I want to ask your opinion?" Wen Xin asked at this time. She was also unsure about the tomb relocation, so she wanted to ask her mother. What is your opinion?

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou looked at Li Yan with a smile, and then said, "Liu Lang has trouble. Even if Wen Xin doesn't tell me about the relocation of the tomb today, I will take the initiative to propose it, your father's tomb is also. Time moved away.”

When Wen Xin and Li Yan heard Mrs. Zhou's words, they were confused and didn't understand why she said that it was time for Xiao Xian's tomb to move away?

When Mrs. Zhou saw the two of them, she did not rush to explain, but said again: "This matter is a bit complicated to explain. When you get there, you will understand!"

Hearing Mrs. Zhou say this, Li Yan and Wen Xin dare not ask again, and Mrs. Zhou put all her body and mind on her grandchildren in her arms, and kept talking to them. She also asked. Some of Li Mian and Youlan's living conditions in Taiwan, but the answers of the two children made Mrs. Zhou very satisfied.

When Xiao Xian was executed by Li Yuan, his body was collected by Xiao Yu, and then he found a cemetery in the western suburbs of Chang'an. Because he was concerned about the reaction of the court, Xiao Yu did not dare to bury him. He simply built an ordinary tomb. .

However, after Li Yan learned about Wen Xin's life experience, he thought of his father-in-law whom he had never met. He first greeted Li Shimin, and then took out a considerable amount of money to Xiao in the name of Xiao Yu.

The tomb was rebuilt, and everything was built according to the specifications of the imperial tomb. For this reason, a group of court officials impeached Xiao Yu, saying that he had a ill-thinking plan. Fortunately, Li Shimin was pressing on it, so no big deal happened.

.

Li Yan's carriage passed through the Xinfang outside Yanping Gate and soon arrived at a small hill in the western suburbs of Chang'an, where Xiao Xian's tomb was located. Originally, this hill had no name, but later it was buried here because Xiao Xian was buried here.

Therefore, it is called Lianghuang Mountain, and it is worth mentioning that five or six miles west of Lianghuang Mountain is the location of the Tang Military Academy and the Tang Medical College.

However, when Li Yan's carriage arrived at Lianghuangshan, he and Wen Xin were stunned. When they returned to Chang'an from Dengzhou, they had come to worship Xiao Xian and remember the environment of Lianghuangshan.

It was clear, but what they didn't expect was that when they came back in a dozen years, Lianghuang Mountain was no longer the desolate hill that was originally.

I saw a large town appearing at the foot of Lianghuang Mountain. The edge of the town was full of traffic, and people shouted and neighed one after another. Although Li Yan and his carriage were still some distance away from the town, I also felt this new development.

The lively scene of the town.

Seeing the lively town in front of you, Li Yan and Wen Xin looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The cemetery was the place where the dead rested. Xiao Xian's tomb was halfway up the mountainside of Lianghuang Mountain, not far from the foot of the mountain. Now it appears at the foot of the mountain.

Such a lively town will obviously disrupt the peace of the cemetery. No wonder Mrs. Zhou thought of moving the tomb.

Just as Li Yan was stunned when he was staring at the town in front of him, he heard Mrs. Zhou in the car say, "This small town was developed slowly after you went to Taiwan, because it is very close to the military academy and medical school.

, Every time it is holiday, students from both schools will come out to activities, and coupled with the daily needs of the two colleges, this town has gradually developed."

When Mrs. Zhou said this, she looked at Li Yan with a meaningful look. Both the military academy and the medical school had a deep relationship with Li Yan. When she first selected the site and built the two academies, it was also handled by Li Yan.

Therefore, in a sense, it was Li Yan who directly led to the insecurity of Xiao Xian's cemetery.

Li Yan also realized the meaning conveyed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. He never thought that the military academy and medical school would actually drive the development of a town, and this town happened to be located in his father-in-law's housekeeper.

The cemetery is not far from it.

Bingxue's clever Wen Xin also understood the meaning of her mother's eyes at this time, but she did not blame Li Yan. Instead, she smiled and held her husband's hand, and then rescued him: "Mother, let's go up the mountain quickly and worship him.

After passing by my father, discuss how to move my father’s tomb?”

Mrs. Zhou is also a person who is clearly organized. He smiled and nodded when he heard this. Li Yan ordered the convoy to pass through the town and stopped when he was at the foot of the mountain. Then Li Yan and Wen Xin supported Mrs. Zhou, Youlan's age.

Xiao, tightly pulled the corner of Mrs. Zhou's clothes, Li Mian followed Li Yan behind him, and some maids followed behind with incense and candles and other things for sacrifices.

"Father, isn't my grandfather the Minister of Rites in the Tang Dynasty? And I saw him two days ago, why are you here to worship my grandfather today?" Li Mian and Youlan were both young in the past, so Wen Xin did not

He told his two children about his life experience. It was not until he got on the carriage that Li Mian heard some information from the conversation between his father and grandmother.

Regarding his son's questions, Li Yan and Wen Xin looked at each other, and then he reached out and touched Li Mian's head and said, "Mian'er, you are not young anymore, and it is time for you to know something.

Your mother’s background is not as simple as it seems…”

Li Yan said, telling the story of Li Mian's grandfather Xiao Xian. In addition, in order to protect Wen Xin, Mrs. Zhou had to hide her life and enter the Duke of Song's mansion. In order not to attract attention, she pretended to be Xiao Chou's.

He also told his son everything about his concubine, but Li Mian was stunned. He really didn't expect that his mother's life experience would be so bizarre. In addition, he finally understood why Lu Hong and Lu Qing brothers, and Hu

General Li and General Zhou Long were both particularly friendly to him. It turned out that they were all old subordinates of his grandfather.

Compared to Li Mian's shock, Youlan, who was still young, only understood one thing, that is, the grandfather who was an official in the Tang Dynasty was not his real grandfather, and his grandfather passed away many years ago.

However, in her young heart, she still felt that the living grandfather was more friendly. The last time her grandfather saw her, she gave herself a lot of gifts.

The Li family climbed the hillside of Lianghuang Mountain along the steps. This is a vast open space. A large-scale tomb stands here. Although the scale cannot be compared with Li Yuan's Xianling Mausoleum, it is also better than the prince's tomb.

The scale is larger, and there are also special guardians outside the tomb, responsible for cleaning and organizing the tombs. However, standing in front of Xiao Xian's tomb, you can still hear the noise of the towns at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing his father's tomb in front of him, Wen Xin's tears suddenly flowed out. She followed Li Yan for more than ten years. Every time Xiao Xian's sacrifice day was on the rituals, she could only worship the tablets and could not sweep the tombs for her father in person.

Therefore, she felt very guilty. Now that 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 tomb, she just sighed softly. As far as Li Yan knew, since Wen Xin left Chang'an with her, Mrs. Zhou had to come here almost every month.

After all, without her daughter's company, she had some words in her heart that she could only tell her deceased husband.

Mrs. Zhou and Wen Xin were walking in front, Li Yan held the hands of the two children and walked behind, and then the five of them slowly entered the cemetery, only when they walked along the straight cemetery to the front of Xiao Xian's tombstone.

But the few people were all stunned. They saw some sacrifices placed in front of Xiao Xian's tomb, and there were unburned incense, candles and paper money next to them. The fruits and other items in the sacrifices were very fresh, so they would definitely not.

More than three days, in other words, in recent days, someone has come to worship Xiao Xian.
