One Piece of Song Dynasty

The one-month vacation passed quickly. On this day, Yue Yun packed his things and prepared to go back. His mother-in-law took Yue Yun's hand and said, "My grandson, when you get there, you should take good care of yourself and study hard. Don't let the prince and you down." You don’t have to worry about your father’s expectations at home, your father and your mother are here.”

Yue Yun said with red eyes: "Yes, grandma, grandma also needs to take good care of her health. Yun'er will try to finish her studies as soon as possible and come back to see you."

The mother-in-law nodded and said: "Well, okay, grandma will definitely recover and wait for my darling grandson to come back. Grandma will also watch my darling grandson marry the princess."

Yue Fei pulled Yue Yun and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go quickly. Your father and I are at home, so don't worry."

Yue Yun got on his horse and took his things with him and left reluctantly. However, he may not have known that this departure would be his farewell to his grandmother forever.

After Yue Yun left, his mother-in-law told Yue Fei: "Yue Fei, I'm satisfied to see my grandson this time. I'm afraid my body won't last long. When that happens, don't let Yun'er come back. Let him Studying is the most important thing. I can see that the prince attaches great importance to our family. We must repay the kindness. Ahem, Yun'er can finish her studies as soon as possible and go to the battlefield to make contributions as soon as possible. I can share some of the pressure on you as a father. Also, After mother leaves, you have to take good care of your brother. Your brother is not married yet, so you, the elder brother, have to worry about this matter."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Okay, mother, stop talking. Please take a rest. My child has taken note of everything. Just do as you are told."

Although Yue Yun left, his mother-in-law's condition became more and more serious day by day. Yue Fei looked at his mother's condition every day with anxiety, but he had no choice but to watch helplessly until March , the th year of Jianyan's reign. , mother-in-law Yao finally breathed her last at the age of seventy and died of illness in Pingjiang Mansion.

Yue Fei was a filial son. He immediately changed into mourning clothes, held the coffin and cried loudly, beating his chest and feet. He cried to death several times a day, repeating these lines over and over again: "My son killed his uncle and his mother's only biological brother. If a son is unfilial, he is a treacherous son." My sin is very serious."

Not only Li Wa, Yue Fan and other family members, but also all civil and military officials such as Li Ruoxu and Zhang Xian also wore sackcloth and wore mourning.

After carrying the coffin barefoot and burying his mother in accordance with ancient rituals, Yue Fei wrote to Li Xin to mourn for his mother for three years. Li Xin did not agree due to state affairs and only gave Yue Fei one year to mourn. Yue Fei remembered his mother's instructions before her death and agreed to do so. down.

At this time, Yue Yun was studying and training at Xinghan Chongwu Academy and did not know that his grandmother had passed away. However, Li Xinning received a letter from her father Li Xin at Fujian Medical College and learned about it.

Since Li Xinning went to Fujian Medical College, she would go to Xinghan to see Yue Yun in her spare time, and the couple's relationship quickly heated up.

Li Xinning, who received the letter at this time, was in a dilemma. Should she tell Yue Yun the news? If she did, Yue Yun would definitely be sad. If not, Li Xinning felt that it was not good to do so. After all, it was Yue Yun's grandmother who passed away. In the end Li Xinning decided to go to Xinghan in person to tell Yue Yun the unfortunate news.

Li Xinning came to Xinghan City and went straight to Chongwu Academy with familiarity. When she arrived at the gate of Chongwu Academy, she told the guards to watch the door and waited at the door. Wuyuan is a military academy. Unlike other imperial universities, at the beginning of the school's establishment, Li Xin stipulated that people who were not from the martial arts academy were not allowed to enter the school, even relatives of the emperor or ministers, unless they had permission from Li Xin or Liu Fa, so Li Xinning could only wait at the door.

After a while, Yue Yun ran out of the martial arts academy and said, "Why are you here again? Didn't you just come here a few days ago?"

Xin Ning asked, "Why, you don't welcome me?"

Yue Yun quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's too late for me to be happy when you come. How could I not welcome you?"

Xin Ning snorted coldly and said, "I'm sorry you don't dare. Let's go for a walk outside the city. I won't waste too much of your time today."

The two of them arrived at a quiet place outside the city in silence. Xin Ning suddenly said: "Yue Yun, I have bad news for you. Don't be sad."

Yue Yun wondered: "Bad news, what bad news?"

Xin Ning said: "Promise me first. After listening to this, you must calm down and not be impulsive."

Yue Yun nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you, I just need to be calm and not impulsive."

Xin Ning took out a piece of paper and handed it to him and said, "This is a letter from my father. Your grandmother passed away a few days ago."

After reading the letter, Yue Yun shook his head and said angrily: "This is impossible. My grandmother was still fine when I left last year. Why did she leave? She promised to wait for me to come back, and she promised to participate in our marriage. It's a ceremony, why didn't my father write to me and tell me, no, I have to go back, I want to go back."

After saying that, Yue Yun was about to run back, but Li Xinning stopped him and said, "Yue Yun, calm down. Uncle not telling you was your grandmother's last words before she died."

Yue Yun took off Xin Ning's hand and said, "I don't believe it."

Xin Ning explained: "Can you please calm down? Before your grandmother died, she told your uncle to put your studies first, study and train well, and strive to go into battle as soon as possible to kill the enemy, make contributions, and take back your homeland. That's why your grandmother didn't let your uncle tell you, for fear of you. Running back and forth for this matter has delayed your studies. If you go back now, wouldn't you be living up to your grandmother's expectations?"

After hearing this, Yue Yun collapsed on the ground and cried "Grandma". Xin Ning looked at the heartbroken Yue Yun and shed tears. She knelt down and hugged him gently and said, "If you want to cry, just cry as much as you want. Just cry out."

Yue Yun lay in Xin Ning's arms and cried for a while, then stood up and knelt down to the northwest and said, "Grandma, your grandson will remember your last words. Your grandson will definitely finish his studies as soon as possible and go into battle to kill the enemy, serve the country and regain my homeland." After that, Yue Yun said Yun kowtowed three times.

It is said that after Pu Yali last saw Li Xin, he left the Song Dynasty for more than a year and finally came back. When Li Xin heard that Pu Yali had returned to the Song Dynasty, he immediately summoned him and asked Zhao Ding and Lu Yihao to accompany him.

When Pu Yali saw Li Xin, he saluted and said, "Long time no see, Your Majesty."

Li Xin joked: "Yes, you have been gone for more than a year, and I thought you would never come back."

Pu Yali smiled and said: "How is that possible? I still want to come to Da Song to do business."

Li Xin asked: "What good things did your fleet bring to me this time?"

Puyali said: "Your Majesty, the fleet I brought this time is very large, with more than a hundred large ships carrying various ores, kerosene, grain, cotton, and various books bought from the House of Wisdom. There are also some Damascus knives, dozens of Arabian horses, and two million taels of silver. Of course, those dozens of Arabian horses are presented to the prince for free."
