The peach blossom banquet has just passed, and it seems that it is cold food and Qingming, but this festival has to be passed.

In ancient times, people attached great importance to the cold food festival, and it was really a day without fireworks. The food to be eaten on that day should naturally be made in advance, so it is still necessary to make some preparations for the festival. More importantly, on the Qingming Festival, from Lin Yu to Qingqing to Yin Susu, they are all going to burn paper and go to the grave.

Especially Lin Yu thought about being reborn into the dead Lin Ruoyu, although it was involuntary, he owed someone a favor in the end. In any case, I still have to sue my father for a crime, so that I can burn some paper money. And Lin Ruoyu doesn't know if Lu Dao has been reincarnated again, and he has to burn a lot of money.

These kinds of things are pressed today, so naturally we need to hurry up and prepare. Qingqing's mother and Lin Yu's father's burial place is also quite far away, and the two have to act separately. However, the burial place of Lin Yu's father and the Yin family is quite close, and they can go together. Lin Yu and Qingqing had already sent someone to the shop where the paper man and paper horse were tied to order things like ingots, paper money, and other things, and they were going to prepare sacrifices in a big way.

After such a busy afternoon, it soon came to the second day, but it was the Cold Food Festival. Nowadays, most people eat peach blossom porridge and cold utensils, and peach blossom porridge is made of fresh peach blossoms to cook porridge, which has a sweet taste. Lin Yu had never eaten this kind of food before, it was made of honey and fried noodles, and it tasted pretty good, but it was not as good as the various desserts that had matured in later generations. Lin Yu only ate a piece of power as a meaning, and happily ate other snacks.

Qingqing's taste is lighter than Lin Yu's, and I don't like cold equipment very much, so I only ate one piece, and I ate the egg tart and butterfly crisp I made yesterday. Half-filled. The two began to discuss Ming'er's Qingming grave.

"Who are you going to take with you to Ming'er's grave?" Qingqing spoke first, "It's better to bring a little more people, who do you think is suitable?" ”

"I have an idea, I think some of these people want to go to the grave." Lin Yu thought for a while. "It's better to ask, and give a holiday to those who want to go to the grave of their ancestors. As for those who bring it, choose from among those who don't have to go to the grave. Just leave a few housekeepers. ”

"It's fine." Qingqing thought for a while and nodded, "As the saying goes, a slap will also give a sweet date, I punished me very harshly for that incident yesterday, and giving this grace is also a sense of appeasement." ”

Yesterday, because the subordinates did not report it, the two princes were let in, and all the subordinates who were suspected of being involved were deducted for three months and knelt for two hours. If it weren't for Lin Yu's persuasion, Qingqing would have given those people ten lashes.

Now that the plan has been agreed. Lin Yu and Qingqing called Liang Li, the steward who was out of the house, to ask. Because of several businesses and the fact that the farmhouse also needs help, three or four more people have been added one after another, and now there are many people in the house. It is naturally very troublesome for these more than 30 people to ask one by one, and Lin Yu will not be diligent to ask by himself.

The steward acted quickly, and after half an hour, he had already asked around and came back to report. "There are thirty-four people in the house. Only three people wanted to go to the grave. ”

"So little?" Lin Yu was a little surprised.

"The young lady didn't know why. Those of us who sold ourselves into slavery were either originally born to aristocratic families and sold into slavery after failure, or our families were poor and could not afford to support them. Some of the parents of the people under the Yahuan are still there, and they don't need to go to the grave, some are not locals, and some of the ancestors don't know where they are buried. Steward Liang sighed. There are also people like us who are all in the family, and we don't have to go to everyone. I'll just tell my little one to go. ”

"That's fine." Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded and said, "In that case, the three of them will have a holiday today." Ming'er, you take Chen Qi, Su Fu two, and choose three rough maids to follow me to the grave. Ask Steward Chen to take Su Gui, Chen Wu and two, and choose three rough maids to accompany the eldest lady. ”

"We're just a carriage. Need to hire a few cars in advance? ”

"This is natural." Lin Yu smiled, "I think you have also done this kind of errand in your original master's house, so let's take care of other trivial things." ”

Because after Xiaozhi's incident, Lin Yu was more cautious when adding people. This family surnamed Liang was recommended by Yin Susu's chief steward Chen Steward, saying that he was a descendant of another family that was originally close to each other, and that the family was an official slave who was sold out of the family, and his ability was good, and everything was done.

The key is that the only daughter of the Liang family is very beautiful, although it is not as beautiful as Lin Yu, it is also similar to the color of the pearls around Lin Yu, and she asked Chen for fear of being ruined after being sold. Originally, I expected Steward Chen to say that Yin Susu would buy their family, but I didn't expect to be recommended to Lin Yu's house. However, the host family is a woman, and she doesn't have to worry about her daughter's future.

Lin Yu and Qingqing also felt that things at home were much easier after having this housekeeper, and asked his son Xiaoliang to learn to manage the affairs of the restaurant. It's not bad, and it has won a few words of praise from the chief steward Chen of Yin Susu's family. In addition, her daughter is a personal maid by Qingqing's side, and the entire Liang family still has a lot of power and face. Steward Liang himself also understands that even if he can vote for the Yin family, he is just an ordinary subordinate and cannot be used so much. Therefore, they are more loyal, attentive in everything, careful everywhere, and more valued.

Early in the morning of the second day, after a little bit of use, Lin Yu and Qingqing got into the car separately. Qingqing's mother is buried in the eastern suburbs of the city, but it is closer, and Lin Ruoyu's father's grave is in the southern suburbs of the city, which is far away, almost passing through most of the capital and more than ten miles away.

Lin Yu got up as soon as he got up at dawn, continued to sleep after getting in the car, and waited until the sun rose in mid-air, and arrived at the place until almost noon. Although Lin Ruoyu has this place in his memory, it is also the first time Lin Yu has come here. The ancestral tomb of the Lin family is not here, it was originally buried here, and Mrs. Lin said that after Lin Ruoyu gets married in the future, when Mrs. Lin is old, she will send someone back to the south together.

Therefore, there are a lot of graves on other cemeteries, only one lonely grave on this cemetery, not very tall, crawling with wild grass, seven or eight years of pine and cypress is no longer fine, the wind blows and whimpers there is a little cold.

Lin Yu asked someone to pull out the wild grass, and personally wiped the dust and dirt off the tombstone, and cleaned the area around the grave. He took out eight tributes from two large boxes and sprinkled wine and other fine wine on the tomb. Then he ordered someone to burn paper money ingots, paper people and paper horses and other things, which is strange to say, so many things were burned clean at once, and there was no residue, which made Lin Yu's heart tremble a little.

"You all stand back, I want to be alone for a while." Lin Yu took a deep breath and instructed the others.

"Don't stay long." Steward Liang also knew that he wanted to say something private, so he didn't stop him, but just advised, "Miss has always been delicate, so it's better to be careful." ”

Lin Yu nodded, seeing that they had all gone farther, before kneeling in front of the grave and speaking silently. There are some things she has been holding back for too long, and she also wants to confide in them. I don't know if Lu Dao is her psychological factor, after she said all this, she felt that the surroundings were not so gloomy, but a lot more peaceful.

The steward looked at his young lady and said while crying, it was about half an hour. Because of staying in the grave for a long time, people with delicate bodies often get sick when they go back, and this young lady can't be regarded as seeing this situation no matter how you look at it. It dragged on for a long time, he was already a little anxious, and he was about to ask someone to urge, but he saw Lin Yu slowly stand up, and hurriedly called someone to go over to help and put away the sacrifices.

"Miss, don't stay on the grave for too long, if you are worried, just send someone over to repair and take care of it."

Lin Yu nodded, and sighed again, "I know, it's just that too many things have happened this year, and I want to find someone to talk to." ”

This master has had a lot of difficulties before, and he almost lost his life, and the steward of Liang also knows the way, who doesn't know the way in the capital about the things in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion? Therefore, he also fell silent, stopped talking to Lin Yu, and ordered someone to get on the horse.

The group was about to leave when another carriage arrived. Lin Yu looked at the people who came in surprise, there are not many people in this place, it is still very desolate, Lin Ruoyu's father has no relatives, why are there still people coming? She was about to ask if she wanted to be asked, when someone stopped the carriage and jumped out of it.

"Is it Miss Lin's frame?"

Lin Yu nodded, and the steward also jumped out of the carriageway, "It's indeed the Lin family's car, are you?" ”

"I'm from the Marquis of Zhenyuan?" The other party said with a smile. "Now the old lady is in the car, please come down."

Steward Liang's face became not very good-looking, and he did not respond, but asked Lin Yu who was sitting in the car, "Miss, do you see?" Shall we come down? ”

"Let's come down." Lin Yu was a little surprised that Mrs. Lin came back, but since she came, it didn't hurt to see her.

Lin Yu asked someone to help her get out of the car, and the people in the carriage opposite also got out of the car, it was indeed Mrs. Lin. However, when Lin Yu saw Mrs. Lin, her face changed greatly. Without him, I haven't seen him for so many days, and Mrs. Lin seems to have aged a lot all of a sudden. Lin Yu still remembers the first time she saw Mrs. Lin, she was very well maintained, although she was in her fifties, she looked like she was forty years old.

But now Mrs. Lin's hair has turned a lot gray, and the wrinkles on her face have also come out, she really looks like she is in her fifties, and even older. Although Lin Yu was a little cold-hearted, Old Madam Lin still really cared about herself after all, and she couldn't help but ask for a while.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you, how did you get like this?!" Lin Yu asked with concern.

Looking at Lin Yu's concerned eyes, Mrs. Lin's eyes were slightly red, but she sighed deeply, "It's not a big deal, I just had a serious illness." ”

"Serious illness? When was this? Why haven't I heard? Lin Yu was surprised, "Although I don't have anything to do with my cousin at the moment, I still ask people to inquire about my aunt."
