Chapter 112: Qingming Worship
The courtyard of the mother's house is unseeable, it has been 'chaotic', a few people first drove the carriage back to Lu Ziqi's 'spring' grass house in the south, Lu Yong parked the carriage, then packed up the sacrificial supplies, and the whole family went to the mountain behind Liu's house together, Qiu Ju Dongmei and the big grandmother who was not worried about coming with stayed and cleaned up the house. has been with Qiu Ju Dongmei for so long, and everyone in the family knows these 'female' guards, but their skills are good, and they can clean up their things, that is, cooking, which is really flattering.
The four of them were ridiculed by the 'spring' grass a few times for not being able to cook, and they all had the heart to learn, but as soon as they entered the kitchen, they were in a miasma, and they couldn't cook a meal.
When I arrived at the grave, I put the sacrifices on the table, and kowtowed to the incense one by one, and the 'spring' grass girl held Xiao Bao'er and chanted on the grave, "Old man, our Liu family also has a queen, this is our grandson Liu Tianli, the name given by the pillar, the ancestors of the Liu family bless, we finally escaped a disaster, and we can live a comfortable life." Thinking about the various disasters experienced by the family together, I couldn't help but wipe the corners of my eyes.
Xiao Bao'er came to the 'spring' grass girl's arms, listening to her own *** chatter, and learning to babble in her mouth, which was very funny, but it made the 'spring' grass girl laugh.
After the worship, when she went back, the 'spring' grass lady spoke, "Ziqi, you should also take the 'spring' grass to see your father." "Although she didn't know what was going on back then, she felt that after all, she was Lu Ziqi's father, no matter what, Lu Ziqi should still bring the 'spring' grass to see.
'Chun' Cao knew that Lu Ziqi had a knot in his heart, his father and mother left him when he was still young and lived alone, but there were some things that he always had to face, and he said softly, "I haven't been to see my parents-in-law, let's go and take a look." ”
Lu Ziqi clenched the hand of the 'spring' grass and hummed softly.
A few people went back to the courtyard first, Lu Yong packed up a new sacrificial supplies, and the three of them went to Nanshan.
The grave of Lu Ziqi's father and mother is on the edge of Nanshan, and now the grave is overgrown with weeds, and it is impossible to see the original state, it is estimated that no one has come all year round, and even the road has been flooded by weeds.
Along the way, the 'spring' grass found that Lu Ziqi's face was a little abnormally pale, so he kept holding Lu Ziqi's hand tightly.
When he arrived at the grave, Lu Ziqi's eyes were slightly red, and he quietly looked at the two unrecognizable graves.
Lu Yong stepped forward, cleaned up the weeds in front of the two tombs, put the sacrificial supplies on the table, lit the incense again, and handed it to the young master and his wife.
'Spring' grass gave a reassuring look, took the chess incense in Lu Yong's hand, reached out to take Lu Ziqi's hand, and handed the incense to Lu Ziqi, "Since they are all here, let's put on a stick of incense." ”
Lu Ziqi finally came back to his senses, saw the worried 'spring' grass in front of him, took the incense in the hand of the 'spring' grass, and pulled the 'spring' grass forward to worship.
When he was done, he took the hand of the 'spring' grass, and without saying anything, he walked back.
'Chun' Cao kept up with Lu Ziqi's pace and said softly, "Don't blame them, the things they carry are too heavy, although they have made such a choice, but at least they gave birth to you without hesitation and gave you life." ”
Lu Ziqi was silent for a while before he spoke, "I don't blame them, it's just that every time I think of the picture at that time, I will immerse myself in fear and fear and can't extricate myself." ”
'Chun' Cao knew that Lu Ziqi should have seen such a bloody picture at a young age, leaving him with a bad 'yin' shadow, this kind of mental illness, he had no choice but to say, "Then I'll come for you in the future." Lu Yong, find someone to repair the grave and erect a monument. ”
Lu Yong looked at his young master, but he didn't react, so he replied in a low voice, "Yes, madam." ”
There was a big grandmother to follow, knowing that she was going to stay here, and she brought food and vegetables for cooking, so a few people stayed at home for lunch, and then Xiao Bao'er slept, and the 'spring' grass pulled Lu Ziqi and asked him to take him on a horse, and looked around the surrounding wasteland, and the 'spring' grass couldn't help but say happily, "These are all mine." ”
Lu Ziqi's mood finally improved a lot, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "You are a little landlady." ”
This is by the south, this is the periphery of Xiaowang Village, surrounded by some mountains, no land, and there are no people, the two of them rode horses and walked, lush and lush, wild 'flowers' and wild grasses, but comfortable.
After seeing their territory, the two went home, cleaned up, and set off for the vineyard.
I never thought that when I returned to the vineyard, my brother actually came back, and I had been waiting for everyone at home, and when the group saw Liu Zhuzi, they were all very 'excited', and the 'spring' grass looked at my brother who had not been seen for more than half a year, it was a lot darker, and it was a lot stronger, and there was an extra kind of iron-blooded momentum, which was the temperament of a soldier.
Liu Zhuzi was also very happy to see her sister and brother-in-law coming back, but 'Chun' Cao still found that her brother's expression seemed to be a little heavy, and 'Chun' Cao couldn't help but wonder if something happened when her brother came back suddenly at this time, but she didn't immediately ask questions.
After everyone greeted each other for a while, 'Chun' Cao and Lu Ziqi made a look, Lu Ziqi had already seen his brother's abnormal face, and immediately understood, saying that he had something to talk to his brother, so he took Liu Zhuzi to the study in the small courtyard where he lived.
'Spring' grass girl and Zhuzi's daughter-in-law 'wife', but they were 'excited' to prepare dinner, knowing that Zhuzi couldn't stay at home longer, so she thought about making more delicious food and bringing it to her brother.
'Spring' grass found an opportunity, slipped away, and went directly to the study in the small courtyard.
As soon as I entered the 'door', I heard Lu Ziqi ask his brother, "It's time to come back, but what happened?" ”
Zhuzi watched his sister enter the 'door', knowing that his sister had an idea, and he didn't intend to hide it, and said heavily, "The 'chaos' in the Rong clan, a large number of rogues poured into the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, but it made our garrison unguardable. ”
"Your garrison has 100,000 troops, how can you take a group of rogues?" ”
Zhuzi shook his head, "Although we have 100,000 garrisons, the rogues will not be stupid to clash with us head-on, they will always take advantage of the loopholes one by one, run to the border villages to burn and rob, and then flee without a trace, cunning like foxes." Our garrison can only run for their lives, chasing those rogues, and being played around by them. ”
Lu Ziqi frowned, "Have you heard what caused the 'turmoil' within the Rong clan?" ”
Zhu Zi replied, "According to the Liukou we caught the 'Jiao' generation, it was said that their Rong tribal leader died, and the two sons of the tribal leader fought because of the seizure of power, which made the entire Rong tribe miserable, and the people were not able to make a living, the Rong tribe was originally composed of large and small tribes, because of the war, the urgent shortage of food, the tribe could not continue to survive, so they all came to 'Sao' to disturb my Dazhou border, during this time, it became even worse, I came back to Qingyang City this time, it was ordered by the general to notify the Qingyang prefect, strengthen prevention, pay attention to the Liukou. Come back and see your home by the way, our side is not far from the border, and you should also take more precautions. ”
"Chun" grass is not worried about this, "We are in the south of Qingyang, but there is no danger, besides, we have guards around us, it should not be a problem to deal with small groups of rogues, but brother, the border is 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', you have to be careful." ”
Lu Ziqi always had a bad feeling in his heart, feeling that these rogues were not so simple, he had to send someone to check, 'Chun' Cao and her family were here, it was better to take precautions.
'Chun' Cao remembered that the mines she gave to Wan Lei, if they could be automatically detonated and buried on the border, it would be a great deterrent to the invading Rong people, but it was a pity that although she made a mine and an automatic detonation device, she would not, she also made firecrackers and made a mine.
But he won't, but he can remind Wan Lei and let him go to someone to study it, "You tell Wan Lei, that mine, find someone to study it, see if it can be automatically detonated, if it is researched that it can be automatically detonated under the action of external forces, buried on the border, the Rong people will not be so easy to invade." ”
Speaking of mines, since the pillar knew that this was taught to Wan Lei by his sister, he has been very suspicious, why is his sister doing this, and now his sister is in front of him, the pillar is simple-minded, so he asked directly, "Sister, how did you make that mine?" ”
Now that the 'spring' grass is lying, she comes casually and says calmly, "I was just curious about how the firecrackers went off, so I flipped through some nerdy miscellaneous books, and made my own fools, so I made it out." "'Spring' grass knows that Lu Ziqi will help him keep it secret, and now under the guise of Lu Ziqi, it is very smooth.
Zhuzi listened to the study of his brother-in-law's miscellaneous books, since his sister married his brother-in-law and became literate and smart, he always felt that his brother-in-law was very powerful, so he was no longer curious to ask, and continued, "Then the family will trouble my brother-in-law, my mother and daughter-in-law, don't let them know, so as not to worry about them." ”
Lu Ziqi nodded lightly, "With me at home, you don't have to worry, you take care of yourself." ”
Hearing what his brother-in-law said, Zhu Zi was also relieved, "Then I'll go over first, I haven't seen Xiao Bao'er for a few months, I miss it, I have to go back to the camp early tomorrow morning." ”
"Bao'er is getting cuter and cuter as she grows, and it's almost time to finish eating, so let's go over together." ”
Lu Ziqi said, "You go over first, I'll come over later." ”
Haruka nodded and followed her brother to the main hall.
After the two left, Lu Ziqi called Lu Yong over, "You find someone to 'mix' into the Rong clan to see what happened over there." ”
Lu Yong didn't know the situation yet, "But something happened over there?" ”
Lu Ziqi nodded, "The border rogues are 'chaotic', but I always feel that it doesn't seem to be that simple, you send someone over to check carefully." ”
Lu Yong responded, so he went down to find someone to do it, and Lu Ziqi went to the front hall for dinner.
At the dinner table, there was no mention of the Rong Liukou, and the family happily ate a group meal. As for Lu Ziqi, he felt that the Rong clan was a little strange, but it was just his own guess, and he didn't 'feel' clearly, and Lu Ziqi didn't tell the 'spring' grass.
Early the next morning, everyone hugged the pillar and went out of the 'door', and the 'spring' grass girl and the pillar daughter-in-law 'woman' also gave a big burden of 'meat' and dried buns and other food, and brought the pillar on the way.
