Chapter 113: Qingming Worship
readx;?ā Do you see the man standing behind your brother? He's your brother-in-law......" Yue Xi squatted down, still whispering softly
The strings of sugar gourds that were inserted on the grave swayed gently in the slightly bitter fragrance of the flowers, as if brushed by an invisible hand......
The red and bright hawthorn fruit is wrapped in a layer of transparent sugar coating and shines in the sun, shining like a ruby, the mountain wind blows, with the floral fragrance of mountain peach and apricot mixed together, slightly bitter.

Yue Xi took the sugar gourds on the grass handles one by one and inserted them on the grave: "Fat sister, these are all bought for you by my brother, my brother has wrapped all the sugar gourds in a stall, you can eat them vigorously...... If your teeth are sore, don't blame me...... It's all your gluttony......"
Han Huachao and Du Sanniang had heard of those grievances, but he just couldn't understand why his lady used so much thought about this ordinary woman.
Yue Xi said softly: "I promised her that I would come to see her every year ...... Qingming."
It can be seen that Ye Miancheng has maintained it very dedicatedly.
"It's my fat sister who sleeps here." There is not a single wild grass around the tomb, and even the land in the mountains has been leveled and tamped, and the tomb that was originally piled up with earth is now surrounded by large pieces of green bricks, which looks a lot more magnificent, but there is still no monument in front of the tomb.
The guards saluted and retreated onto the mountain road.
Letting the two guards put down their respective hands, Yue Xi waved at them.
When he saw the lonely grave in the valley, he frowned, and looking at the lady's suddenly solemn look, Ying Su still followed.
Ying Su didn't expect that the person the lady said was a dead person.
The two of them went up the mountain with a few guards, but they didn't climb much high, Yue Xi stopped at a mountain depression, and she took a deep breath before walking inside: "It's here." ā
Yue Xi asked another guard to carry the big burden on the car, and she hurriedly caught up with His Majesty the Emperor, who was walking in front.
Ying Su looked up at the hill and walked forward silently.
"You can't get up here, you wait here, I'll go up to see someone, I'll come ......in a while," Yue Xi jumped out of the car and said to Ying Su, who was following behind.
She pointed to the road, and after walking for half an hour, the carriage stopped at the base of Huagai Mountain.
"Turn around and go down the avenue...... Yue Xi stopped laughing and said to the driver.
"Where?" Hearing that she began to lose her serious words again, Ying Su lifted the curtain on the car window and looked out, and did not follow her words any further. The things in the lady's mind are very different from ordinary people, and he doesn't want to be ridiculed by her in vain.
"Haha! Ha ha! Yue Xi looked at him and smiled: "Then those people I saw just now are blessed, I haven't seen such a beautiful vendor like you for a while!" ā
"You don't see it looking good, too?" Ying Su put the big burden aside, and muttered in a low voice: "That's what the husband is holding like this!" ā
"Haven't I ever seen someone selling sugar gourds with a knife on his shoulder......" Yue Xi said with a smile.
Yue Xi glanced at the guard a few times, and Ying Su reached out from the car to take the burden in her hand: "Come on, what's there to see......"
Soon, Yue Xi carried a huge bag out of the grocery store, and saw that his carriage had stopped at the door, and the straw and sugar gourd were held by the guards standing in front of the car, and the guard's standing posture was very standard and mighty, holding the grass handle up and down with both hands and holding it on his chest as if holding a flag, the guard looked at a piece of hawthorn fruit in front of him with a sad face, his mouth was sour, and he was salivaing endlessly...... The guards are not born to eat sour, even if they see sour things, they will have sour water in their mouths......
The straw handle is full of sugar gourds, and it occupies a lot of space, and it also has a wooden handle, and Ying Su held a mace-like thing and gestured a few times at the door of the carriage, but he couldn't put it horizontally or vertically......
Ying Su didn't have the courage to stand in front of the public with such a thing, seeing that the lady just went to the shop not far away, he hurriedly walked to the carriage without squinting, the guards had already lifted the curtain, but His Majesty the Emperor couldn't go up!
"Take it, you go back to the car and wait for me first." Yue Xi waved his hand and handed him the straw handle, and strode towards a shop.
"Put this in the car." It's really ...... for a lady to be like this Ying Su couldn't stand it anymore, afraid that passers-by would treat her as a vendor selling sugar gourds!
After paying the money, Yue Xi sent a guard back to the shop with two handfuls of sugar gourds for the children to eat, while she stood on the street with the straw handle full of sugar gourds and looked around.
The patron was also very happy, and gave her the straw made of straw on the stall.
"Uncle, I want all of this." Yue Xi woke up like a dream and said softly. The old man has been doing a small business all his life, and today's business is especially happy!
Half a scoop of cold water was poured into the pot, and a hot breath rose and pounced on Yue Xi's face, and Ying Su quickly pulled her.
There were two rows of dipped sugar gourds on the slate, and the syrup in the pot had already bottomed out, and the old man poured the last bit of syrup on the slate.
Yue Xi's soul traveled outside the world, looking at the sugar gourd and thinking of Du Sanniang.
There were no customers in front of the stall, and the old man with the sugar gourd looked up at Yue Xi and just smiled, and did not solicit business diligently.
The burnt yellow syrup bubbles in the pot, the old man who sells the sugar gourd will use the bamboo skewer to wear the hawthorn fruit in a circle in the pot and wrap it in a layer of sugar coating, the sugar coating will become hard immediately when it is cold, forming a translucent hard shell outside the hawthorn, and a bite of 'crunchy'!
Yue Xi stood in front of the small stall, smelling the faint smell of boiling syrup and lost his mind, and he was in Qingming in two days......
Cixian County is at the foot of Huagai Mountain, when the imperial capital is already bright in spring more than 100 miles away, but it is still cold in spring......
Sugar gourd is a common snack in the north in winter, but now it is close to Qingming, the weather is getting warmer, and there is no longer any selling in other places.
