Section 8: Qingming

The academy is on holiday, and even the four masters have left the academy, because the Qingming Festival is here, and sacrificing to the ancestors is the biggest thing in the family, and the Yun family is no exception.

Lao Niu left, saying that he probably wouldn't come back in the future, which made Yun Ye very sad, without the old general's sitting, he was worried that the academy would lose order. Lao Niu said mysteriously: "No, he left, naturally someone will come to replace him, who is it, don't tell him for the time being."

The students of the academy are like wild horses, changing into their own brocade robes and wearing their own accessories. Flower arrangements on hats are not uncommon, and Meng Wei almost hangs everything he can hang, clanging like a grocery store. He also said that he had lost a lot, and he couldn't show off when he bought it, and he put it in the box, and he ruined it. I didn't take it down this time when I went to sleep.

Fresh clothes and angry horses, light cars and fat furs, Chang'an's youthful demeanor was thoroughly displayed at this time.

Yun Ye just said that it's a pity that there is a lack of young girls, otherwise

Before he finished speaking, a group of beasts screamed and slaughtered Chang'an.

The old grandmother was very well prepared, a whole pig, a whole sheep, a fat carp two feet long, a goose with a ribbon around its neck, a chicken with its feet tied to the ground, a mountain of snacks, and countless boxes of paper ingots, bundles of incense and candles, and then brought her grandson to life.

The old grandmother has the style of a general in the house, the servants of the family are instructed to turn around, and the aunts and aunts do not let go, each with a maid is busy, the Hou Mansion honor guard is wiped to shine the figure, and the huge flag has a black tiger with teeth and claws, representing the master's family.

The whole Yunfu is relatively shabby, there are only two official uniforms, one set of Yun Ye, one set of grandmother, one from the third grade, and one from the third grade, only these two big guys, there is no feeling of the stars holding the moon, which makes the grandmother very sad, she is more envious of the old lady of the Pei family, just a second-grade fate, but there is a large group of third-grade orders next to her. The edict of the four products, when the ancestors are guarded in the middle, is majestic.

The old grandmother glanced at Yunye resentfully, and she told him several daughters from good families, but none of them caught their eye. For example, the four girls of the Ying family, the second miss of the Wang family, and even the cousin of the eldest grandson's family can't look down on them, is it difficult to marry the princess?

If this doesn't work, the princess is not a good family to marry, not only do you have to separate and live another, but you can only marry one, and my wife and grandson are still alive. In case the princess doesn't have children, doesn't this push the Yun family into the fire pit?

A while ago, I kept ordering food to the palace, but now I don't send it, and I don't know what happened.

The heart of the grandmother was straight, knowing her old man's thoughts, she wanted to hug her great-grandson as soon as possible, and she always said that she was lonely around her, so she didn't understand, there were eight squeaky little girls, where would she be lonely?

"Oh, my ancestor, don't look at your grandson with this kind of strange look, I have goosebumps on my back, I want to wait for my great-grandson, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it in a few years, daughter-in-law, let's go home in groups, you just wait for the fat boy on the left hand, the fat girl on the right hand, surrounded by villains in front and back, and when you are annoying."

Yun Ye's words made her aunt and aunt laugh, and the old grandmother slapped Yun Ye on the head embarrassedly: "Stinky boy, that's a daughter-in-law, not a goose, and a group of people are yelling home, if there is really a group of villains surrounding grandma, I am tired to death, and I am willing." ”

The fief is only thirty miles away from the ancestral shrine, and it will arrive in an hour.

I saw two cypress trees in the distance, which were two trees called the old cypress by later generations, and now there was only a small girl's hug thick, and the flake leaves were stacked on top of each other, like two big umbrellas in front of the ancestral hall.

Grandma repainted the ancestral hall as early as last year, with vermilion columns, vermilion gates, and a vermilion old man, this old man is in red clothes and red pants, and a red scarf on his head. …,

Ran over from afar and lay on the ground to salute the old grandmother. Seeing that Yun Ye was a little surprised, the old grandmother said

"He was an old man in the previous family, his mind was not enough, and after the defeat of the Yun family, he had nowhere to go, so his grandmother let him live in the ancestral hall, first to take care of the ancestral hall, and then to give him a place to live. As a result, he lived for sixteen years, and thanks to him all these years, otherwise the ancestral hall would have been abandoned a long time ago, and you would not have had the opportunity to worship your ancestors. ”

The old grandmother was a little sad, and stopped the little girl who was going to climb on Yun Ye's body, today is a big day, she doesn't allow the little girl to be presumptuous, for fear that it will not be seen by the ancestors. The little girl was deflated and didn't dare to cry, Yun Ye was just about to comfort but was taken away by her aunt.

The old man's name was really Ah Fu, ignoring Yun Ye and just talking around grandma Abba, and grandma even talked to him with gestures, it seemed that they were talking very warmly, Yun Ye didn't disturb them, and went into the ancestral hall to watch around.

It is not as grand as that of later generations, especially after the absence of two huge stone lions made of cement, it is even more cramped, and the cornices of the four corners are hung with bells, and the wind blows and rings with tinkling dong. This kind of copper bell is the most seductive reverie, especially Yun Ye here seems to have a feeling of constant change in time and space, for a while the fourth grandfather of the future generation sat on the tall Taishi chair outlining the family tree, and kept cursing those unscrupulous descendants, and after a while, it was the figure of the old Ah Fu in red clothes and red pants diligently wiping the dust everywhere. When I closed my eyes, I felt that the world was spinning, and the walls around me were squeezing towards me.

"Ye'er, Ye'er." Grandma called a few times before pulling Yun Ye out of the nightmare,

"Ye'er, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable? If you want to worship your ancestors today, you are quite strong, it won't take long, it may be that your ancestors are looking at you just now, don't worry, this is a family temple, and lonely souls and wild ghosts can't enter. You sit on the pier by the door and let the old ancestor take a good look at the Yun family's Maxima. ”

The walls are full of wooden signs, and the ghosts of the men who have died in the Yun family for a hundred years seem to be looking at Yun Ye, it doesn't matter, Yun Ye let go of his mind and let you see enough, I am a genuine descendant of the Yun family, from body to soul, not an impostor, isn't it just 1,400 years worse.

The so-called suspicious and suspicious ghost is this principle, I don't care but I feel comfortable, watching my grandmother and aunt are busy putting offerings, I can't intervene, I just don't care, I just walk around the world with my hands behind my back, Xiaoya, the big girl followed my brother to dig out the pine nuts in his pocket, Yun Ye is not used to putting things in his sleeves, so he asked his grandmother to sew two pockets around his waist, and it is very comfortable to stuff his hands in his pockets in winter, and the same is true for Cheng Chumo's clothes, and the image of the two brothers shopping with their hands in their pockets is very eye-catching.

Yun Ye doesn't like to fill a bag full of copper, walk up and down, burn the bag, and ask grandma to knock the silver into a thin leaf, and then smash the Yunfu mark on it, a leaf is quite ten cents, very convenient, as long as you don't buy luxury goods, or go to the East Market, a leaf is enough for the two brothers to go shopping for a long time.

No cigarettes! I never thought about quitting smoking, and now I am forced to quit, so I have developed the habit of having snacks in my pocket. The two little girls are very bitter now, grandma not only found a text teacher, but also invited an old palace girl out of the palace to teach eight girls etiquette, the last time I saw the little girl too offended, I had two more words, I didn't want to be crusaded by the women of the whole family, saying that this is a good thing that they can't ask for, and dare to say irresponsible things. After begging for a long time before they were let go, the situation of hundreds of ducks in their ears was too terrifying, so they could only ignore the little girl's tears and run wildly.

In the smoke reverently bowed to the ancestors, a zhang long offering table was full of offerings, in the middle of a huge fat pig, was put in a wooden box steamed, oily looks very delicious, the same is true of sheep, the cow is not a little marquis can be used to sacrifice the ancestors, if it is found that it will be beheaded, so the Yun family uses a fish instead. …,

There are a few monks who don't know where to read the scriptures loudly outside the ancestral hall, over and over again, aunts and sisters can't enter the ancestral hall, they can only burn those huge amounts of paper money outside, red-clothed Ah Fu skillfully threw the paper money into the air, so that the paper money was carried to the distant mountain by the mountain wind.

After reciting the scriptures a hundred times, the monk left satisfied, taking the big bag of copper coins. Yun Ye's family took the improved hoe and shovel to the ancestral tomb behind the ancestral hall, the tomb was rested very well, there was not a single weed on it, grandma praised the old Ah Fu, gave him a large jar of wine, and rewarded him with the pig's head, Ah Fu happily hugged the wine jar to gnaw the pig's head.

Grandma and Yun Ye put a shovel of soil on each grave, there were tears in their eyes, but there was a smile on their faces, and they were babbling something inexplicably.

After cultivating the soil, the aunts and aunts each cried on the grave of the closest dearest, hugged the little girl who was at a loss, and led the confused grandmother to point to the grandfather's tomb and said: "Ye'er, grandma will be buried with your grandfather in a hundred years, and set up a big grave, you know that grandma is used to living in a big house, and a small house is not used to it, so she is panicked." "

"Grandma, how do you talk about this today, your body is still strong, and there is no problem with accompanying your grandson for decades, don't you want to value your grandson? Why do you want to accompany grandpa now? Grandpa will not be lonely with so many relatives by his side, can you bear to be the only one here? ”

Yun Ye burst into tears, the little girl couldn't wipe it dry, grandma held Yun Ye in her arms and patted it gently, and said in her mouth: "I can't bear it, I can't bear you!" ”
