Sister Chen Suqing was also very moved when she saw that Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Baoxun were so enthusiastic about them, and Mrs. Baoxun thought about everything, which made the two sisters feel very unhappy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Baoxun Lady suddenly said that she had something to discuss, and Chen Suqing was afraid that there would be another complication, so she couldn't help but feel nervous again.
Seeing that her complexion changed slightly, Baoxun Lady hurriedly smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, I think you probably have people to pay tribute to, but I'm afraid that you are embarrassed to speak because you are in the guest house." ”
Chen Suqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then muttered, "It's already July 15." ”
Because they are running around, they are frightened and embarrassed along the way, where do they know what day and night, today I heard the lady of Debaoxun mention July 15, and I was shocked, I don't know how time flies, and I have arrived in Zhongyuan in a flash.
Then because of the mention of the ancestors, I can't help but think of my father and uncle, I can't help but feel a burst of grief in my heart, nowhere to express it, originally at home, every time I worship my ancestors, I just follow the adults according to the ceremony, how can I ever have such a heart-wrenching feeling like now.
Seeing that their sisters were faintly sad, Baoxun Lady knew that it touched her heart, and said a few good words to comfort, Chen Suqing looked up at her, and saw that she actually considered this for her sister, and there were not many taboos, but she was afraid that she would be too careful, so she came to comfort her first. Chen Suqing didn't shirk much, thanked Baoxun for her kindness, and asked the Cui family to also buy a sacrifice on her behalf.
The two sisters just arrived at Cui's house, and there are many things to be settled, and Baoxun has a business to take care of, so after talking for a while, they said goodbye and left, and when they left, they also sent two maids to help them, although Chen Suqing sisters repeatedly refused, they still left one.
After Baoxun Niangzi left, the two sisters thought of the events of the Midyear Festival, they were uncomfortable, relatively speechless, and their eyes were red, Chen Suqing said to Baoqi: "Although Cui Niangzi said this, after all, we are living in a foreign country, as long as there is a pillar of fragrance, it is good to talk about grief, as for other spiritual weapons, my mother will organize them at home." ”
Baoqi nodded in response, Chen Subing lowered her head on the side, and whispered: "I don't know if my mother and mother are doing well at home, I miss them so much." ”
Chen Suqing looked at her and didn't speak, just let out a long sigh.
On the second day, that is, on the day of the Midyear Festival, early in the morning, the Cui family began to buy all kinds of clothes and utensils, what shoes, boots and hats, colorful clothes, all kinds of everything, everything was made in two copies, one for the Cui family, and one for the Chen sisters.
Chen Suqing and the others saw the things sent by the next person, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Cui's room to thank her, because the business in their incense shop was very busy on this day, so Mrs. Baoxun went to the shop early in the morning, and Mrs. Cui had to take care of everything at home.
The place where Cui's family is located, not far from the downtown area, there are people selling all kinds of snacks, flowers and fruits in the morning, and Mrs. Cui ordered them to be bought one by one to worship their ancestors. Because on this day, from top to bottom, there is a custom of rewarding monks, although the Cui family is not an official noble, but it is also considered to have assets, so they also give food to monks at home.
Mrs. Cui was also very happy to see the two of her coming, and hurriedly invited the two to sit down, and the two sisters came to see that Mrs. Cui was busy and didn't want to disturb, but Mrs. Cui tried her best to invite the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's not much, it's already busy." ”
The two sisters thanked and sat down, Chen Suqing said to Mrs. Cui: "We have to be taken in by you, it is already grateful, yesterday the lady said that we can pay tribute to the ancestors here, we originally thought that we could provide a pillar of fragrance, talk about some sorrows, it was already very good, but I didn't expect to send these things this morning, which made us ......."
When she said this, she was a little choked, she was really moved by the deep affection of the family, they were in such a situation that they didn't even dare to take in the relatives, but the Cui family not only took the initiative to provide a place to live, but also cared for them, how could she not be grateful.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cui took out her silk handkerchief and handed it to her, comforting: "It's just a gesture, so why worry about it? It is human nature to cherish relatives and worship ancestors, and we just have one more to prepare, which is a big deal." ”
said and sighed: "It's the two of you, you are uprooted, here alone, homesick and homesick, don't be too sad, take care of your health." ”
Mrs. Cui's kind attitude and concerned tone made Chen Suqing unconsciously think of her mother, she was away from her hometown for a few days, and she was very worried about Huizhou.
A few more people said a few words, Bao Xun lady came back from the shop, ready to worship the ancestors at home, the sisters saw it, so they also said goodbye and went back to the room, ready to go to their own sacrifice.
When I returned to the room, I saw that Baoqi and the servants of the Cui family had already set up a sacrificial table in a corner of the back garden, with a melon and fruit incense burner on top and a brazier and a futon below.
In fact, the customs of Yangzhou are still slightly different from those at home, but Chen Suqing's sisters live here, and it is not easy to have such a ceremony, and it is only to express the meaning of chasing the distance cautiously, so there is not a lot of attention.
The two sisters don't know much about many rules, but fortunately, with Fubo on the side, the two sisters bowed down with incense, and the green smoke curled up.
Hug Qi on the side, a little relieved: "Look at this smoke, it goes straight up, it must be the two owners who are back." ”
When Chen Suqing heard this, he raised his head violently and looked around, only to see that there was a statue of ghosts and gods, but Baoqi's words undoubtedly touched Chen Suqing's heartstrings.
Since Chen Jingfeng's death, Chen Suqing's heart is in pain, but she has always forbeared, so she buried the pain deep in her heart, except for a few days, she rarely revealed it in front of people, except for a little emotion, the situation at this moment is tantamount to revealing the wound in her heart, so that the feelings buried in her heart for many days gushed out, lying on the futon and crying bitterly.
The smoke and clouds are curling, and the dead are mourning and not returning;
The incense is ethereal, and the survivors want to break their souls.
Baoqi cried for a while, and then Xiangning helped the two of them a few words, and whispered a few words of comfort, Chen Suqing thought that in other people's homes, and the slaves of the Cui family were in front of him, so he couldn't cry anymore, suppressed the pain in his heart, and went back to the room with Baoqi.
When it was nearly dusk, Bao Xun was busy with the affairs of the house, and came to their room again, and saw that the two of them looked sad, and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is worried that you two are sad, and sure enough, she is thinking about things in the house." ”
The two sisters were a little embarrassed to say a word, and they were afraid that if they said a few more words, it would make the Cui family bothered a lot, so they didn't say anything.
Baoxun Lady smiled: "I know that you are unhappy, I have come to relieve your worries." ”
