Chapter 111: Qingming Festival (2)
Yuqiao's mother's grave was obtained by Mrs. Chu with a lot of effort. In the suburbs of Yanjing five miles, by the mountains and rivers, looking at the pine and lush, the green cypress forest.
The sky is gloomy and gloomy, Yuqiao and his party are walking along the stone road, there have been other people who have completed the sacrifice sweep, the paper ash is like a white butterfly, the wind blows, that is, the light and loose scattered and fluttering, but also took away a bit of sadness!
Walking to her mother's grave, Yuqiao was stunned, obviously cleaned, weeds have been pulled, new soil has been cultivated, incense and candles have been burned in front of the monument, money and paper have been burned, and there are traces of sacrifices. There was inexplicable warmth in her heart, she knew that her father still had concerns in his heart, and that was enough!
Zhou Zhenwei helped to sort it out thoroughly, Yuqiao added incense candles, put the paper in a deep basin and burned it, Zhou Zhenwei saw that her eyes were red, her lips trembled, and she looked sad, and felt sorry in her heart, and leaned in and said in a low voice: "Yuqiao is not too sad, I promised my wife just now, I only ask you to be a lady in this life!" In the future, it will hurt into the bones and blood, so it will be so good for you! ”
Yuqiao was scattered in his heart, but he suddenly let out these words, poured out seven or eight points of the very sadness, and his heart was warm and smooth, as if he was happy to look at him for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while, thinking about it, it was more appropriate not to say anything, and he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and continued to burn paper, hiding most of the good color of his face like a flower and his eyes turned stars.
Zhou Zhenwei waited for a while, but he didn't see Yuqiao's reaction, and he was wondering! But looking at her cheeks and ears, red and pink, I suddenly realized in my heart, this girl is a thin-skinned lord.
Yuqiao went to the grave in this box, and went with Zhou Zhenwei again. His family's grave looks quite dilapidated and depressed, after all, his grandmother is old, and his uncle rarely comes and goes, so he only entrusts the juniors to take care of it, but it is perfunctory to see this scene.
Zhou Zhenwei used to guard the border all year round, thinking that his uncles and aunts would take care of these things, but now that he looks at it, it is really chilling.
He didn't say much, only condensed his face, suppressed his anger, and began to clean up drastically without saying a word. Yu Qiao knew that he was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked the little guy to come forward to help, and he and Fu Fu worked together to do some things in the corners. It was estimated that it took about half an hour for the grave to be cleared of weeds and add new soil, and finally it showed its original appearance.
Yuqiao put the incense candles, the three animal sacrifices he brought, and the food in the food box were all arranged in a row, thought about it, and erected the bouquet of flowers that Zhou Zhenwei gave him in front of the monument, and burned the money paper.
Quietly looked at Zhou Zhenwei's face, pulled his sleeve one by one, and comforted him softly: "Lord Zhou, don't be annoyed, it's love that others can come!" Dedication always needs to be yourself. It won't be like this in the future. ”
Zhou Zhenwei eased his face and sighed lightly. Coincidentally, the sky was cloudy, a gust of wind passed, and scattered rain was like a stretch, and Caifu hurriedly collected all the food in the food box. Zhou Zhenwei thought for a while and said: "There is a place not far from here, Su Ri and some farmers and hunters hide from the rain and rest, after a long time, the people who come and go also love it, it is better to go there to rest!" ”
Yuqiao thought that he had been busy in the morning, and Caifu and the others looked tired, and the rain also tended to increase, so they nodded their heads in agreement.
But it is a thatched hut, although simple, but it has everything. The room was dry and clean, and Caifu brought water and washed her hands and faces one by one.
Yuqiao looked around, smiled at Caifu and said: "There are still some sparks in the stove, and there is also firewood at the foot of the wall, so it is better to boil some hot water for everyone to make some tea to eat!" ”
Cai Fu hesitated and said: "Cai Fu has thought about it, but after a long time, he almost destroyed that little bit of spark, and his eyes hurt from the smoke!" ”
Yuqiao sighed, sat down in front of the stove, looked at Caifu and said, "You haven't come to learn from me!" I don't know if I'll be able to use it someday. ”
The picture Zhou Zhenwei saw was really shocking! In the deep boudoir, the flowers watered by the golden soup and jade dew were half kneeling on the ground at this time, adding firewood to the stove with one hand, and picking up the firewood and grass with a burning stick with the other, and the fire in the boredom was blazing. He also dictated the secret of making a fire to Caifu. At this time, the steam in the pot is steaming, filling the room with the salty and fresh aroma of meat and vegetables!
Yuqiao half-knelt for a while, only to feel that her legs were sore. In the previous life, I maintained the same posture for most of the day to make a fire and boil water, and I was never as squeamish as I am now.
She stood up slowly, turned around, and saw Zhou Zhenwei leaning in front of the door, looking straight at her, her eyes were deep and blurry, and the smell of doubt and exploration disappeared in an instant.
He walked over and said in a flat tone: "Don't interfere with this kind of rough work in the future, just call me!" ”
Yu Qiao laughed softly: "I'm also playing with nothing, the dishes are hot, I guess I'm hungry, you can come and serve the plate." ”
When the little servant brought the teacups and wine glasses, there was already a plate of fried snail meat with oil and salt, a plate of glutinous rice with rouge sugar lotus, a plate of toon sprouts and gluten, and a plate of dim sum, half a plate of soft green dumplings, half a plate of red black cake with sauce, and another big bowl of peach blossom porridge with a hot and sweet fragrance.
Cai Fu put a bowl of porridge in front of everyone's eyes, Yuqiao poured a cup of sweet white wine for Zhou Zhenwei, and also poured a cup for himself, tasted it, and said with a smile: "This is wine made with glutinous rice fermentation, girls eat and play, and Lord Zhou can also taste it to drive away dampness!" ”
Zhou Zhenwei drank it all, shook his head with a smile: "Can this also be called wine?" It's just sweet sugar water! In the past, I drank all the knives at the border, and I was very fierce, and I came to Yanjing to drink the most wine, and now I am used to it! ”
Yuqiao was silent, her face was gloomy, she knew that Zhou Zhenwei was a drinker, in the previous life, whenever he came to Qin Xiyue, he would carry water to her house. I also occasionally caught a glimpse of him and Qin Xiyue sitting at the table drinking, one drank beautifully, the other drank so hot, and she heard the dirty things she did next!
Yuqiao suddenly felt very stuffy, I didn't think it before, but now I gave him the whole heart, although it was a matter of the previous life, it was awkward to think about, and it didn't taste right.
Raising his eyes to see him, the bruise on half of his cheek had not faded, he gritted his teeth and didn't want to pay attention to it, but he still couldn't give up his heart, and remembered that the plaster was brought by a special person, but he pulled it on the carriage, ignored him, and got up and went out!
Zhou Zhenwei knew that Xiao Qiao'er was angry, but he didn't know where her anger came from, so he gave up after thinking about it, looked at Caifu who was eating at the table, and shamelessly asked her if she knew what happened?
Cai Fu thought about it seriously for a while, looked at him again, pursed her lips and smiled: "Why don't Lord Zhou go directly to ask Miss, or directly accompany Miss, she is never angry for no reason, you must have made a mistake!" (To be continued.) )
