In the spring of March, the mountains are full of flowers, and the birds are singing.

This season is a good time for fun and entertainment, you can take a boat on the lake, cook a pot of tea, and enjoy tea leisurely. You can invite friends to the boudoir, go to the suburbs, and arrange flowers and willows. The main festivals in March are the Shangsi Festival, the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival.

On the first day of the Qingming Festival, Mrs. Yan instructed: "Ming'er is the right day, and there are many people who go to hang and sweep, so you have to go out early, so as not to be blocked in the city and can't get out." โ€

The ancestral tomb of the Yan family is on the west mountain in the northwest corner of the capital, of course, most of the tombs of the families and the noble families in Beijing are in the west mountain; Ancestors have been buried here for generations, and Xishan is a big grave mountain to put it bluntly.

The next day, when the sky was dark, Yan Hagi was woken up by licorice, because he was going to the grave, Yan Hagi could not wear red clothes, "just wore the lilac-colored jacket and the aqua green embroidered white plum skirt." โ€

Waiting for Yan Hagi to wash up, Ai Ye came in to help her comb her hair, and put a flat bun, on the left is three light blue silk flowers, and on the right is a jade carved hairpin, and under the hairpin hangs a tassel made of three jade beads, walking and shaking three steps.

Elegant and chic, Yan Hagi put down the mirror with satisfaction, went out to the main courtyard of the fourth room with ear grass and finch wheat, and met the three brothers at the door, "Fourth brother, sixth brother, ninth brother, good morning." โ€

"Good morning, little sister." The three brothers laughed in unison.

The four brothers and sisters entered the courtyard, and Yan Siye and the county lord of Nanping had already gotten up, and they were also dressed plainly; The county lord of Nanping hurriedly beckoned his children and said, "Come and sit down for breakfast, I'm going to go out in a while." โ€

"It's the Youth League again." Yan Tongming pouted in disgust, three days before the Qingming Festival was the Cold Food Festival, and he had eaten cold food for three days, even if the cook made the Youth League into the shape of a small animal, it could not change the essence of the Youth League.

"The Cold Food Festival, the Cold Food Festival, is to eat cold food, so it is called the festival, less verbose, hurry up and eat." Yan Siye urged.

A family of six ate a Qingtuan, drank half a cup of warm tea, and went to the second gate. The mansion was dispatched, there were as many as seven carriages alone, and all the women were sitting, except for Yan Taifu, who was very old, and the little fat Dun Yan Tongfeng got on the horse. Of course, he was riding on the same horse as his father, although he wanted to ride alone, but his legs were too short to step on the horse, so he could only sit in front of Yan Wuye aggrievedly.

Out of the city from the West City Gate, half an hour later to the foot of the West Mountain, get off the car, get off the horse, the next road, everyone has to climb up on foot. Fortunately, they are all gentle slopes and are not difficult to climb.

"Little sister, the sixth brother carries you." Yan Tongliang took the initiative to ask.

Yan Hagi shook his head, "No, I can walk." โ€

"If you can't walk, just say it, don't be reckless." Yan Tongzhu touched her head and said.

"Got it." Yan Hagi said with a smile.

Yan Hong looked at Yan Tongfeng sadly, "Why are you a younger brother and not an elder brother?" โ€

"Even if I'm my brother, I can't carry you, you're so fat." Yan Tongfeng mercilessly stabbed his sister.

"Are you embarrassed to say me? You're a little chubby. Yan Hong said angrily.

"You fat woman."

"You're fat."

"You big fat woman."

"You're pumpty."

The siblings hurt each other and fought all the way up.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw three four-pillar cupola stone archways, from the stone slab road, it was a large open space, and I saw a large open space, and in the middle were three relatively high standard tombs. The little servants didn't wait for the master's orders, so they carried the sacrifices in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Yan personally placed the offerings in front of the big tomb in the middle, and Uncle Yan and Yan Tongshu placed the offerings in front of the two tombs on the left and right. Yan Hagi is in the fourth room, standing relatively backward, and she can't see the words on the tombstone clearly, but Yan Siye has already told her that it is the ancestor of the Yan family, the wife of the ancestor on the left, and their son on the right, the second generation ancestor of the Yan family.

Uncle Yan took the long scroll handed by Mrs. Yan and recited the sacrificial text: "Wei ......"

The crowd knelt down and bowed their heads.

"Offering sacrifices to the descendants of the filial piety boy Yan family, I would like to sacrifice the soft hair sake...... Meal ...... Dedicated to the tomb of the ancestors of the Yan family...... The people are thriving, and the branches are flourishing...... The descendants of the family, kneel in front of the grave, prepare wine syrup, and pay tribute to the front of the hall. Vovi Shang Fang. (Excerpt from the text of the ancestors)"

Finally, when he finished reading, Mrs. Yan picked up the wine glass offered in front of the tomb and respectfully sprinkled it on the ground, and everyone got up. Kneeling on the bluestone slab, the pampered ladies who knelt were a little unsteady when they got up.

The maidservant placed the copper basin in front of each tomb, and Mrs. Yan distributed paper money and gold leaf ingots. Yan Tongming carried paper money and gold leaf ingots, led Yan Hagi to walk in for a while, and arrived at the tomb of the sixth generation ancestor of the Yan family, squatted down and began to burn paper money and ingots.

While burning, Yan Hagi muttered, "Grandmother, I am the twelveth, that is my ninth brother, please bless the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother Qiufu High School......" This year is the year of Dabi, Yan Tong'an, Yan Tonghua and Yan Tongzhu are all going to end.

After burning the paper money and ingots to the ancestors, Mrs. Yan asked the maid to take a small amount of paper money to the outside of the archway and burn it, which was for the ownerless soul.

After the sacrifice, everyone walked down the mountain, and when they arrived at the open space, Mrs. Yan said: "It's rare for a family to come out so completely, just rest here and play for a while." โ€

"Say that every year, and you can change some new words." Old Madam Yan couldn't help but laugh at him. The main reason is that this year's people are not complete, and Yan Sanye lacks a companion.

"It's okay to get the meaning, change the new word, there's no need for that." Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

The maidservant laid out a big blanket under the tree, set up the low chairs and small tables she had brought, invited the masters to sit down, and brought tea and fruit snacks. As soon as Taifu Yan sat down, two waves of people came down from the mountain, one was from the Anguo Mansion, and the other was from the Baoqing Marquis' Mansion.

There is not much contact between the Anguo Mansion and the Baoqing Hou Mansion, but both families have a relationship with the Yan family, so they both came to greet Yan Taifu. Yan Hao, who was flying a kite with Yan Hong, saw Fu Zhixing and immediately ran over; The two have not seen each other since the day of the Yuan Festival.

After Yan Hagi came over, he first saluted the elders of the two mansions, and then said sweetly: "Cousin Fu, let's go fly a kite." โ€

"I'll fly a kite, I'll go too, I'm very good at flying a kite." Tian Xining is a fun-loving person.

Yan Hagi pouted and said, "King of Cowhide." โ€

"What do you mean?" Tian Xining asked.

"I know, I know." Yan Hong came after Yan Hagi closely, but she was dragged down by the fat on her body, she slowed down, "The king of cowhide is the same as bragging, that is, talking big." โ€

"Hey, my Tian Si Shao never talks big, how about it, do you dare to compare with me?" Tian Xining caught up with Yan Hagidao.

Yan Hagi glanced at him and asked, "Than what?" โ€

"Who's going to fly the kite higher." Tian Xining looked Yan Hagi up and down, "You are younger than me, I won't bully you, you can find a helper." โ€

"That's what you said." Yan Hao's eyes flickered, "Cousin Fu, you help me." โ€

"Okay." Fu Zhixing glanced at Tian Xining.

Yan Hagi gave her carp kite to Fu Zhixing.

Tian Xining is familiar with Yan Tongming, but Yan Tongming's kite has already been put on, so he can't be dragged down again, right?

"Fly your kite for him." Yan Hagi directly requisitioned the little cousin's kite.

Although Yan Hong was reluctant, she was used to listening to Yan Hao's words, but she still advised, "Don't break my kite." โ€

"Rest assured, rest assured." Tian Xining raised his hand to pat Yan Hong's shoulder.

Yan Hong stepped away and glared at him.

Mrs. Baoqinghou, who was not far away, had been paying attention to this side, she couldn't hear the conversation, she only saw her son's movements, her brows furrowed slightly, this kid is too undignified, how can he do it in front of so many people? The elders of the Yan family will be unhappy when they see it. Thinking of this, Mrs. Baoqinghou hurriedly went to see the faces of Yan Taifu and the others, and found that they were all chatting, and they didn't notice there, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Zhixing easily floated the kite into the air along the direction of the wind, Tian Xining was not to be outdone, and the dragonfly kite also rose to the sky.

"Cousin Fu is so amazing!" Yan Hagi slapped his palm.

"Hey, hey, look at me, I'm also very good." Tian Xining turned his head and shouted.

"Your kite doesn't fly as high as Cousin Fu." Yan Hagi took the moment to glance at his kite.

"Obviously I'm taller than him, what kind of eyes do you have?" Tian Xining was dissatisfied.

Yan Hao puffed out his cheeks and shouted, "Cousin Fu, put it higher, surpass him, surpass him." โ€

Fu Zhixing smiled at her and jogged, the kite gradually rising; Seeing that it was taller than Tian Xining's kite, Yan Hagi gave Tian Xining a provocative look.

Tian Xining refused to admit defeat and immediately released the line.

At this time, the wind rose, and the kites of the two were too close together, and they were entangled in the air; Tian Xining tugged hard, "Hey, surnamed Fu, you go over a little." โ€

Fu Zhixing didn't make a sound, he kept pulling the string, trying to separate the two kites, but the kites became tighter and tighter. Yan Hao ran to Yan Tongliang's side first, asked him for a protective knife, and then ran to Fu Zhixing's side, "Cousin Fu, don't drag it, you will hurt your hand and cut the thread with a knife." โ€

"Then the kite doesn't know where it will fall, and it won't be able to pick it up." Fu Zhixing stared at the kite in the sky.

"If you can't pick it up, don't want it, anyway, this kite was bought in the market." Yan Hao smiled slyly, "If Cousin Fu feels indebted, then make a kite with your own hands and make two kites and give them back to me." โ€

Hearing this, Fu Zhixing took the knife she handed over and cut the kite string. The wind was stronger, Tian Xining did not reel in time, the line was broken, and the two kites were swaying and blown away by the wind. Yan Hong rushed to Tian Xining, "You compensate me for the kite." โ€

"Okay, I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy ten kites and compensate you." Tian Xining said generously.

"I'm not a centipede, what do I want so many kites for? I just want two hands, I want a kite, I want a dragonfly. "Yan Hong is not greedy.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy a dragonfly kite and pay you for it." After Tian Xining finished dealing with Yan Hong, he shouted to Fu Zhixing, who was wiping his sweat with Yan Hagi's handkerchief, "The surname is Fu, this time it doesn't matter if you win or lose, we will compare next time." โ€

Fu Zhixing glanced at him lightly and gave him two words, "Grasshopper." โ€

The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is not self-sufficient. Tian Xining still knew, and was about to reason with Fu Zhixing, when the elders had rested enough, called them over, and were about to return to the city. Tian Xining squeezed his fist at Fu Zhixing, "The surname is Fu, you wait for me." โ€

Fu Zhixing and Yan Hagi didn't take his threat to heart, and each went home with their elders.

The next afternoon, Yan Hagi was playing chess with Yan Siye, Yan Hagi's chess skills were not good, and the chess product ......, "I put it wrong, I didn't put it here." โ€

"Xiaoxiao, don't regret being a true gentleman." Yan Siye reminded his daughter.

"I'm a lady, not a gentleman, so I can regret chess." Yan Hagi picked up the white seed, thought about it, and fell.

"Are you sure you want to put this?" Yan Siye asked.

Yan Hagi nodded, "That's it." โ€

Yan Siye smiled and left a son, "This blockbuster is gone." โ€

Yan Hagi pouted, "Bad daddy." โ€

"Then let you take the son back and go down again." Yan Siye said with a smile.

Yan Hagi grinned, and really took the white piece back. But even if she repented and cheated, she still lost; The father and daughter were about to play the second game, when Amber came in and reported: "Miss, the washing lady of the Anguo Mansion is here." โ€

"Come in, please come in." Yan Hagi hurriedly said.

This time, Fu Zhixing made two kites at Yan Hao's request, one is a carp kite, and one is a magpie kite. Holding the kite, Yan Hao smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Thank you Cousin Fu for me, tell him that I like kites very much, and let him fly kites with me next time." โ€

The woman wrote it down and took her leave.

Yan Siye was not too happy and said: "Xiaoxiao, you want kites, tell your father, your father can make kites, and he can do better than Fu Wuyi." โ€

"Daddy, I'll send the kite back to the yard first, and I'll come back to play chess with you later." Yan Hagi said and walked away with the kite.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao......" Yan Siye shouted twice, and saw that his daughter was gone and didn't look back, so he had to pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard and put them in the chess box.

Two days later, Yu Qingqing sent her mother-in-law to send a post to Yan Hao, which read: "Spring is quiet, tomorrow I will prepare thin wine in the couple's garden, look forward to friends, go boating on the lake, enjoy flowers and wine, happy and happy." โ€

"It's really sour." Yan Hagi complained, and wrote a reply, "Thank you for your invitation, tomorrow will come." โ€

The next day, Yan Hagi was going out, and the lord of Nanping asked Yan Tongliang to accompany him. Yan Hagi thought that the person who was the owner this time was the Bao Rong family, and it was good to let Yan Tongliang accompany him. When he arrived at the Coupling Garden, Yan Hagi found out that Bao Rong's family had also invited two companions, Qiao Zhiyu and Qiao Huaiqing, brother and sister.

"Second Brother Bao, let you break the bank." Yan Hagi said politely.

"It's nothing, the most important thing is that everyone has fun and eats satisfied." Bao Rongjia said with a smile.

The coupling garden is centered on the coupling pond, and all the buildings in the garden are surrounded by the pool, such as being built on floating water, and each building is connected by arch bridges. The building is dotted with peaks, stones, flowers and trees, forming an excellent scenery one after another.

After eating, in order to play and enjoy the scenery, everyone entered the box, and after sitting down, Yan Hao deeply felt that this group of people brought her full of malice, she looked to the left and Qiao Huaiqing and Yan Tongliang were whispering, and to the right was the county lord of Heyi and Qiao Shuyu were talking to each other, and when she looked up, she saw that Yu Qingqing and Bao Rong's family were in love. They are all in pairs, and she is alone!
