Qingming Festival, also known as the Grave Sweeping Festival, the Ghost Festival, and the Hades Festival, together with the July 15th Midyear Festival and the October 15th Lower Yuan Festival, are collectively known as the Three Hades Festival, all of which are related to the sacrifice of ghosts and gods.

At the same time, the Qingming Festival is also called the Qingqing Festival, according to the solar calendar, it is between April 5 and 6 every year, it is the season when the sun is bright and the grass and trees are green, and it is also a good time for the ancient people to go green, so the ancients had the custom of Qingming and carrying out a series of sports activities.

On the day of the Qingming Festival, many local residents of Hangzhou came from afar, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city sent a few more people to control the security in the city, the people in the tavern chatted about idle gossip, the business in the paper horse shop was booming, and the children could best set off the atmosphere of the festival, either covering their ears and lighting firecrackers, or playing games in pairs.

In the afternoon, everyone has eaten after the meal, and then go together to worship the ancestors, the Lin family has a big business, and there are more people who come to worship the ancestors, and walking on the road can also reflect the scenery of the Lin family today, but the interior is roughly divided into two groups of people, one group of people is headed by Mrs. and the four deacons, the four deacons are Miss Lin's fourth uncle, before Miss Lin's father's death, the relationship is better, the fourth young master is his son-in-law, and the other group of people is headed by the second and third deacons of the Lin family, these two are Miss Lin's second uncle and third uncle, since Miss Lin took charge of the Lin family, the relationship with them has gradually become indifferent, they each have two sons and two daughters, and secretly jealous of Miss Lin。

Shen Feng saw that although they went to worship their ancestors together, they seemed to be in harmony, as if they didn't know each other, compared to the calmness of Miss Lin's side, the people on the other side seemed to be much more lively, most of them bragged about themselves, but their eyes were demonstratively glanced at Miss Lin's side.

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman walked up to Miss Lin, she was followed by a man, the man fanned her in the back, Shen Feng recognized the pair of men and women, they were the eldest daughter of the second deacon, Lin Yayu and his husband-in-law, who were not as good as Lin Kelan in terms of figure and appearance, she leaned forward and chuckled: "Why did my sister pick these up by herself, oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot that my sister is not married." ”

Although she was smiling, her words were nakedly sarcastic to Lin Kelan, Lin Kelan naturally disdained to quarrel with her, and just said lightly: "Thank you second sister for your concern"

Lin Yayu didn't give up, and said with a bitter look: "I advise my sister to marry early, so that she can enjoy Qingfu as soon as possible, and there is someone around to take care of her, be considerate, and live a life of husband and children, which is what we should be like as women."

Lin Kelan still maintained her state of mind, as if she hadn't heard her instigation and sarcasm, and said calmly: "It's good if the second sister is doing well, and I'm living well alone."

Lin Yayu saw that she was not provoked by herself at all, looked at Shen Feng who was carrying a hoe behind her, and sneered: "Yo, my sister is magnificent, and there is a subordinate in the tomb during the Qingming Festival, does this subordinate forget his ancestors, but he does not go to worship his ancestors during the Underworld." ”

Fighting with Shen Feng, it was his own collision with the muzzle of the gun, Shen Feng smiled: "You are not bad, go to the grave with your husband, your husband does not want ancestors, but he fanned the wind behind you, it looks like your ancestors." Shen Feng didn't spare people in his mouth, he couldn't make Lin Kelan angry at the beginning, but now she was so angry that her chest was churning, as if she had been stepped on and hurt her feet, which made Lin Kelan secretly happy in her heart.

Lin Yayu was enraged by Shen Feng, and suddenly revealed her ugly face, and said arrogantly: "You, a subordinate, dare to contradict me"

Shen Feng didn't eat her, and said lukewarmly: "I was hired by Miss Lin for money, except for Miss Lin and Mrs., I won't listen to anyone, I will only follow Miss Madame's wishes and listen to Madame's words."

When have you ever listened to me! Lin Kelan was furious in her heart.

Lin Yayu had never seen such a strong subordinate, and she felt frustrated by her superiority in front of her subordinates for a long time, and pointed the finger at Lin Kelan, and said angrily: "Sister, how can you hire such a wicked slave to dare to commit a crime, he should teach him a lesson and then drive him out." ”

Lin Kelan said: "He signed an agreement with me, if I drive him in, he will sue the yamen, our Lin family will not only have to see the official to lose his reputation, but also compensate him a lot of silver taels, I see that my sister tries to avoid him, so I can not be angry with him" Lin Kelan took the paper agreement and said things, and skillfully resolved the blame, to say that this public relations mediation ability, Lin Kelan, the master of the Lin family, was immediately reflected.

Shen Feng smiled approvingly at Lin Kelan, but she turned her head away and gave Shen Feng a silky back of her head.

Lin Yayu didn't know that this agreement had suffered a loss, and she didn't expect that she would defend this person, so she glared at her husband who was fanning her in the back, and scolded him angrily: "Fan fan, you will only fan, see others bullying me, and don't come to help me, is it a man after all." ”

In the face of his wife's harsh criticism, he just lowered his head, he had no backbone, otherwise he would not have come to the Lin family, he was just greedy for the Lin family's money, and entering the Lin family could make him no longer have to struggle, and he coaxed the second miss of the Lin family with his handsome appearance.

After the second lady of the Lin family left, the third deacon of the Lin family and his eldest son came, and the third deacon walked to the lady and sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, the business of the Lin family has been a little worse recently than in previous years."

The lady looked at the third brother-in-law in front of her, knowing that he and the second brother-in-law were out of the nostrils, but even though she knew that they were secretly dealing with their two orphans and widows, she still treated the two brothers-in-law politely and said: "There have been some problems in the dyeing workshop this year, and a lot of fabrics have faded, which has affected the business."

The third deacon was a little embarrassed and said: "I have also heard of it, but since it has happened, we should reflect on ourselves, if Ke Lan can't bear this burden, then we have to re-weigh it, although Ke Lan is my niece, I also love her very much, but she is now in charge of the livelihood of hundreds of people up and down the Lin family, as the Lin family, I have to think about it for the Lin family." ”

Business is good and bad, this is a normal situation, but he took it to talk about things, and the Lin family's workshop was blamed, and the fabric was seriously faded, which caused great losses to the reputation and business of the Lin family, which made the business not as good as before, Mrs. had guessed that it was done by insiders, and it was the same Lin family, but they were embarrassed by each other, Mrs. endured her anger and said: "This matter, Lan'er will definitely give an explanation to the deacons, please let the third uncle be relieved"

Hearing her say this, she was a little weak-hearted, so she didn't pursue it anymore, and instead said: "I'll introduce a few family affairs for Ke Lan, Ke Lan is not young, she has already passed the age of marriage, and we should do our best as elders." ”

This is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, even if Mrs. wants to ease their relationship, she knows what he is planning, and shook his head slightly: "Although the marriage of children is the words of the parents, but Lan'er has been independent since she was a child, I can only persuade her, not reluctantly, since the third uncle has a heart, I will first make a door or two of the relatives you introduced, and then talk to Lan'er" Mrs. is clever like a spring, and her words not only do not offend him, but also delay his marriage.

A group of people came to the mountain, the grass on the mountain is even blue sky, the grass is full of wild chrysanthemums, waving towards the sky, the afternoon sun is shining, and there is a light rain in the early morning, on the mountain does not feel hot, but cool and warm, there is no need to fan you like the second lady of the Lin family to the extent of the heat, can only say that she pretended to be superior, the mountain has long been crowded, children carry coils and fly kites, adults are put forward hoes to clean up the weeds next to the tomb, sometimes there is a roaring cannonball, showing the lively atmosphere on the mountain.
