The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 957: Five Years Later (X) Funeral
(Thanks to Lianhen Chi for voting 183 monthly tickets.)
Even though Li Sanniang's face hasn't changed much in the past ten years, her face is still the same, and she is still the same person, but as an official for a long time and with power in her hands, even if she wants to be gentle and amiable to others, her aura is somewhat different from her past.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that Wu Qiaolan and Bao Ya were reserved, so she just said congratulations, said a few words of blessing, and went to the side hall.

However, not long after she entered the side hall, Baoya and Wu Qiaolan, mother and daughter, took Xiaoya away.

When the family was having dinner together, Li's mother said, "That man sounds like an honest and decent man, but I don't know if it's true or not.

However, Baoya said that if we have another child in the future, it will also be her last name."

Mother Li seemed to have remembered something. She turned her head to look at Li Sanniang at the table. Li Sanniang raised her head and received Mother Li's gaze: "Mother?"

"Alas," Li's mother sighed, "Baoya said that she doesn't have a brother like you, and she is very capable and can support the children.

She just wanted to give Xiaoya a brother, so that even if she was gone in the future, Xiaoya would still have a relative by her side. "

What can Li Sanniang say about this?
I can only say: "How pitiful are the parents in the world.

Mother, I will give Baoya an extra box of gifts later. Luzhuer has troubled her a lot since she was little. She must have made a great decision to divorce so decisively. It is not easy. "

Not only did Li Sanniang give a box of gifts, but Luzhuer also took out items from her own small treasury and gave Baoya a gift.

On the day of Baoya's wedding, Li's mother and Li's sister-in-law went together.

Wu Qiaolan and Baoya bought a small courtyard with two entrances in the residential area near the gate of Changshoufang in the north. Almost all of their savings over the years were spent on it.

The yard is not big, but it is big enough for their family.

Li's mother, who stayed and had two glasses of wine, looked at the tall and strong man whose face turned red after just a few drinks, and felt that the man who couldn't drink was an honest and good man.

Although the man's family members were eating like starving ghosts at the table, since Baoya and Wu Qiaolan took a fancy to this family, they would not be easily bullied.

Ultimately you have to live your life by yourself. Others can only help you when you ask for help, but they cannot help you live your life.

All in all, Mother Li felt that it was all right and she just hoped that Baoya would have a good life in the future.

Things change unpredictably. Less than half a month after Baoya’s wedding banquet, the Li family hung up the white banners.

Dr. Liang died in his sleep due to old age.

When Doctor Liang first met Li Sanniang, he was already over 60 years old. More than ten years have passed, and Doctor Liang has lived to a ripe old age!
Li Sanniang and Junior Brother Shaoyang knelt in the mourning hall in mourning clothes. Lying in the coffin was the old doctor Liang, who had his eyes closed and a smile on his face with white hair and beard.

There are several ice basins placed above the mourning hall, which can slow down the decay of the corpse in this hot summer and keep people wearing dull mourning clothes cooler.

Li Sanniang was not actually very sad. After all, they were all doctors. More than a month ago, Doctor Liang had called her and Junior Brother Shaoyang to his bedside to arrange his funeral arrangements.

At that time, Li Sanniang and Junior Brother Shaoyang did not believe it. They stepped forward, each holding one hand, and felt the pulse directly.

But as they felt the pulse, the expressions on their faces changed from disbelief to frowns, and then to sadness and helplessness.

Doctor Liang is not sick, he is just old.

On the contrary, Doctor Liang looked at the two men and said to them with a smile: "Well, why do you have to be like that?

Birth, aging, sickness and death are something that everyone has to experience.

For a teacher, living to this age is already a long life!

Haha, your master has lived nearly twenty years longer than your great master!" But no matter how old he is, once he dies, he is gone, and you can never see him again. But who can accept the death of a loved one all of a sudden?
Li Sanniang, who hadn't cried for many years, had tears in her eyes like beads that had broken off the string, falling down with a click.

She cried very restrainedly, shedding tears silently but without making any sound.

"Oh my, Sanniang, are you reluctant to leave your position as your teacher?
Then while I am still alive, stay with me and I have something to tell you."

Doctor Liang waved to the medicine boy who had been taking care of him and took the stack of letters from him to show Li Shiyue and Junior Brother Shaoyang.

"This is the letter I wrote to your senior brothers. I have written to each of them. Wait until I die and you bury me, then send these letters out.

I have already written in the letter that I, the Master, do not want them to come to the funeral, nor do they need to be sad.

As a teacher, it is a blessing to have the relationship of master and apprentice with them.

Whether it is them or you, it is enough for them to do good things for the Tang Dynasty's medical profession in the future.

In my life, I have been a famous teacher, held a high-ranking official, met emperors, held power, and accepted talented disciples. In my later years, I also settled the past grudges for my school, and I have also witnessed everything you have done for the Tang Dynasty.

My life as a teacher is worth it!

When I am gone, don't be sad, pass on the skills I taught you, and I will be able to laugh out loud even in the underworld."

From then on, Li Sanniang and Junior Brother Shaoyang took turns to take a half-month leave and stayed at home to accompany Dr. Liang on his last journey.

Now, kneeling in front of the coffin containing Doctor Liang, Li Sanniang just numbly took the paper ingots and threw them into the brazier. She didn't cry anymore, but her heart still ached.

It was Senior Brother Shaoyang, who was kneeling with her, who began to cry loudly.

From the time he learned that Dr. Liang was going to pass away more than a month ago until Dr. Liang actually passed away, Junior Brother Shaoyang did not cry once.

Until now, the young boy from Shaoyang dared to cry uncontrollably in front of the coffin.

Junior Brother Shaoyang, who had been crying for most of the day, simply refused to listen to Li Sanniang's advice. Therefore, Li Sanniang winked at Old Ten who was standing beside her. Old Ten quickly stepped forward and hit Junior Brother Shaoyang, knocking him unconscious.

In fact, Li Sanniang can also do this job, and she can do it more beautifully and without hurting anyone.

However, Li Sanniang really couldn't bring herself to do this to her junior brother Shaoyang, whose eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.

The dead are gone, so are the living.

It's hot in summer, and even if you use ice for free, the corpse can't be dragged away.

Therefore, Li Sanniang and Junior Brother Shaoyang decided to keep the body for three days, and then bury it outside Chang'an City, in a Feng Shui location that had been selected long ago by Doctor Liang.

After burying Doctor Liang, Li Sanniang arranged for people to send letters to the brothers who were scattered all over the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the letters that Doctor Liang wrote to each of his disciples during his lifetime, there were also letters written by her and Junior Brother Shaoyang to each of the brothers.

The brothers who are close to me are in the eastern capital Luoyang, and the brothers who are far away are in Champa in the south.

When Li Sanniang was sending out letters, she also received letters from her disciples.
