Chapter 1 Cold Food

Li Cheng can be said to be very lively day and night, but on this day, there is no noise and no shouting.

Because the previous head avoided the Ming character of Qingming, Qingming and cold food gradually merged.

Except for some people who miss the old in private, they will also worship their ancestors with the Qingming sect system, and the rest will be the same.

The drizzle is the most compatible with the green smoke of the cemetery of the ancestors, and it is also the most common custom in Licheng.

The Yin family is naturally no exception, eating raw and cold food, burning incense and sprinkling wine, there is no accident.

Yin Xian returned to the house with the girl Ah Tian, but unfortunately in recent years, the surrounding situation seems to be a little turbulent, and Duan Huanian is not allowed to go back to her parents' house with her out of official business.

She had also heard Duan Huanian mention the fear of war, but thinking that she had been peaceful for many years, she shouldn't panic too much.

Yin Mansion has not mentioned the scholarly door since ancient times, and the rituals have always been valued.

I went to Qionghuazhuang before and returned empty-handed, if I hadn't gone to other wine stores to buy some fine wine, I am afraid that Yin Xian would make people laugh today.

Different from previous years, this year's festival has one more rare guest, and at this time, the rare guest has sat in the hall with the female relatives of the family, chatting softly.

Yin Xian came late, and only looked at the woman at the door first.

It's just the appearance of an ordinary woman, coarse linen clothes, like a Taoist robe. The black hair is mixed with sporadic white, and among a group of female dependents, it is the most conspicuous. Although he didn't apply powder, he was particularly temperamental, straightened his waist, and there was no trace of wrinkles on the skirt on his legs.

Next to her stood a small boy, all dressed in the same way, with a childish voice, but with a sense of maturity that children of the same age did not have.

Yin's mother saw Yin Xian at the door, hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, and all the ladies also stood up when they saw this.

"Why is it so late today? Why don't you see Duan Dashuai? "Mother Yin has some reproach.

This lady here, who doesn't know that Miss Yin is newly married, and her husband is the famous Yan Luohu-Duan Huanian, and they all laugh hard, lest they are not attentive enough.

Yin Xian smiled, "There are a lot of things today, it's late, don't blame me." ”

Then he turned his head and said hello to the ladies present one by one.

But when she got to the lady, Yin Xian couldn't answer for a while, so she had to pull Yin's mother.

"This lady looks familiar, but she can't remember what it's called, mother, this is..."

Mother Yin hurriedly said, "This is your Uncle Qiao Song's wife, call me Auntie." ”

Before Yin Xian could salute, the lady got up and made a woman's blessing, "Living in Wenxian Temple for a long time, it is rare to see, and it is natural not to recognize it," so he looked at Yin Xian in front of him.

"It turned out to be a big lady! Yin Xian gave the eldest mother a companion. ”

Yin Xian meditated in her heart, Uncle Qiao Song she had heard of, he was his father's eldest brother.

When she was a child, she heard her father talk about this uncle, who was a great talent in Licheng. Not to mention being smart, he also has the experience of studying abroad, and he was also the most glamorous and moving young man in Licheng.

It's just that twenty years ago, he left everything behind, and took his newlywed wife Ruomei, that is, the lady in front of Yin Xian, to seek immortals, alchemy and medicine, and live in seclusion, which made many powerful people in Licheng feel embarrassed for a while.

If memory serves, Old Yin's mother has not seen this Uncle Qiao Song and his family for twenty years.

Everyone sat down, called for a new pot of tea, and began to chat about trivial matters.

Yin's mother naturally would not let Yin Xian go, and hurriedly asked about Duan Huanian's situation, Yin Xian had no choice but to confess.

"General Duan has never asked me to know this, but I just heard that there has been an abnormal movement outside recently, and this battle is unavoidable."

A female dependent interjected, "Twenty years ago, didn't that widow come to fight once, let's call them back, and now, it's itching again?" ”

"You can't say that, it's just outside, our Li Cheng Feng Shui treasure land, and it can't be involved horizontally or vertically."

...

For a while, the gossip couldn't stop.

"Why did the eldest lady suddenly put it up today? Uncle is here too? And this is..."

Yin Xian saw that the other ladies were still shouting in a sharp voice, so she leaned into Mrs. Ruomei's ear and whispered.

Mrs. Ruomei smiled lightly, and said that the boy next to her hugged her.

"Zhixia, call me sister."

The little boy named Zhixia blinked, then knelt down obediently and kowtowed to Yin Xian, "Eldest sister is healthy." ”

Yin Xian hurriedly pulled the child up and asked Ah Tian to get some playthings such as candied fruit and give them to Zhixia, but this child was different from others, ignoring the things that Ah Tian brought, just standing beside Mrs. Ruomei obediently, not tired at all.

"Qiao Song is still watching..."Mrs. Ruomei's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, "This time I went down the mountain, I also saw that Xia Da was too old, and I couldn't be trapped in the view all the time, so I had to come out to see and see..."

Before the words fell, Yin Xian saw a touch of moisture in the corner of Mrs. Ruomei's eyes.

"I also want to, please father, persuade Qiao Song well, change down the mountain, that person will not come back..."

"That person?" Yin Xian was about to ask, but she was stopped by other female dependents.

"Our Miss Yin Xian is now the wife of the Jiangfu, and this time, we can't change the title." A fat woman smiled with a fat face like this.

"Aunts and aunts, it's good to just be a girl, but it's just a title."

Another female dependant asked, "I heard that Duan Dashuai is the best at commanding the army, if it really starts to fight, with General Duan here, I'm afraid I won't be able to lose, right?" ”

Yin Xian just laughed, not knowing how to answer, but the conversation had already been picked up.

"Wasn't the general who fought the Japanese back then also powerful, although he retreated from the enemy, didn't he come back!"

Thinking that these words were unlucky, and Yin Xian was still present, the female dependent hurriedly slapped herself with an ear scraper, "This crow's mouth, Duan Dashuai is naturally stronger than that general, and he may not be able to fight." ”

"Putting aside the merits and demerits of the predecessors for the time being, resisting the enemy is a hero, why bother to be stronger or weaker than the long and short?"

Mrs. Ruomei said quietly, and her elegance was evident between the conversations.

The fat-faced lady said again, "I heard that Mr. Qiao Song and the general twenty years ago are close friends, and it is rumored that Mr. Qiao Song drowned in Wenxian Temple, is it also because of that general?" ”

Mrs. Ruomei's hands holding the tea trembled slightly, but she suppressed the vibration in her heart, and instead placed the teacup on the table, suppressing her voice from fluctuating too much.

"It's just a rumor, husband and gentleman."

"Chasmens or others, Madame knows best."

After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed with the female relatives beside him.

Although Zhixia next to Mrs. Ruomei was young and didn't understand much, she just felt that these women were bullying her mother, so she wanted to go forward to beat her, but fortunately, Mrs. Ruomei was quick and stopped Zhixia.

Yin Xian frowned and cleared her throat.

"Today's ancestors, aunts and aunts are more respectful, the souls of the ancestors are not gone, don't let the heroes feel cold under the Yellow Spring."
