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

This season is a good time for entertainment. You can raft on the lake, cook a pot of tea, and enjoy tea leisurely. You can invite friends from the boudoir to go out for a walk in the suburbs, arrange flowers and wear willows. The main seasons in March are Shangsi Festival, Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival.

On the first day of the Qingming Festival, Mrs. Yan ordered: "Tomorrow is the day, and there are many people going to take the sweeping scanner. You have to go out early to avoid being blocked in the city and unable to get out."

The ancestral tomb of the Yan family is on the west mountain in the northwest corner of the capital. Of course, the tombs of most aristocratic families and noble families in the capital are in the west mountain; ancestors have been buried here for generations, and the West Mountain is a big tomb mountain.

The next day, it was dawn, and Yanhu was woken up by licorice. Because he was going to visit the grave, Yanhu could not wear red clothes. "Just wear the lilac jacket and the water-green skirt embroidered with white plum blossoms."

After Yan Huo washed up, Ai Ye came in to comb her hair and tied her flat bun. On the left were three light blue silk flowers, and on the right were carved jade hairpins. Below the hairpin was hung with three tassels of green jade beads. When he walked, he shook three steps.

Elegant and unique, Yan Huo put down his mirror with satisfaction, took Ercao and Quemai to the main courtyard of the fourth room, and met three brothers at the door, "Fourth brother, Sixth brother, and Ninth brother."

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

The four brothers and sisters entered the yard. Master Yan Si and Princess Nanping had already gotten up and were dressed in a simple manner. Princess Nanping quickly greeted her children and said, "Come and sit down and have breakfast, and you will be out later."

"It's Qingtuan again." Yan Tongming curled his lips disgusted. The three days before Qingming Festival was the Cold Food Festival. I had eaten Cold Food Festival for three days. Even though the chef made the Qingtuan into the shape of a small animal, it could not change the essence of Qingtuan.

"Cold Food Festival, Cold Food Festival, means eating cold food, which is called festival. Less nagging, eat quickly." Master Yan Si urged.

A family of six ate a green dumpling, drank half a cup of warm tea, and went to the second gate. The whole mansion was dispatched, and there were as many as seven carriages alone, all of which were female relatives. The men except Taifu Yan was old, and the fat man Yan Tongfeng all got on the horse. Of course, he rode on the same horse as his father. Although he wanted to ride alone, his legs were too short and he could not step on the horse, so he could only sit in front of Master Yan Wu with grievance.

After leaving the city from the Xicheng Gate, half an hour later, we arrived at the foot of the Xishan Mountain. Those who got off the bus got off and those who got off the horse got off. The next road was to walk up. Fortunately, they were all gentle slopes and not difficult to climb.

"Little sister, Brother Six carries you." Yan Tongliang volunteered.

Yan Huo shook his head, "No, I can move."

"If you can't walk, say, don't show off." Yan Tongzhu touched her head and said.

"I know." Yan Huo said with a smile.

Yan Zi looked at Yan Tongfeng sadly, "Why are you a younger brother or not an older brother?"

"Even if I am my brother, I can't carry you. You are so fat." Yan Tongfeng stabbed his own sister mercilessly.

"Are you embarrassed to talk to me? You are a fat guy." Yan Qi said angrily.

"You fat woman."

"You fat man."

"You big fat woman."

"You are short and chubby."

The siblings hurt each other and climbed upwards.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw three and four pillars of the sky-summit stone archway. After passing through the stone corridor, there was a large open space. I saw a large open space, and in the middle were three relatively high-level tombs. The servants carried the sacrifices in a regular manner without waiting for the master's order.

Grand Tutor Yan personally placed the offerings in front of the large tomb in the middle. Uncle Yan and Yan Tongshu placed the offerings in front of the two tombs on the left and right. Yan Huo was from the four houses and stood relatively backwards and could not see the words on the tombstone. However, Master Yan Si had told her that it was the ancestor of the Yan family. On the left was the wife of the ancestor, and on the right was their son, the second generation ancestor of the Yan family.

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

Everyone knelt down and their heads were bowed.

"I worshipped the descendants of the filial son Yan family, and I sincerely gave them a gift of pleasing hair and sake... and offered them to the timely delicacies... before the tomb of the ancestors of Yan family... the population is prosperous and prosperous, and the branches are lush... the descendants of the family, please kneel in front of the grave, prepare wine and drink in front of the hall. The ancestors have spirits, come and enjoy it. (Excerpt from the text of offering sacrifices to ancestors)"

Finally finished reading, Taifu Yan picked up the wine glass in front of the tomb and respectfully sprinkled it on the ground. Then everyone got up. Kneeled on the bluestone slab, and the spoiled women who were kneeling were a little unstable when they got up.

The maid placed the copper basin he brought in front of each tomb. Mrs. Yan distributed paper money and gold foil ingots. Yan Tongming carried the paper money and gold foil ingots and led Yan Ha to walk for a while. He arrived at the tomb of the wife of the sixth generation ancestor of the Yan family, and squatted down to burn paper money and ingots.

While burning, Yan Hae muttered, "Grandma, I am Xiao Shier, that's my ninth brother. Please bless the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother Qiuwei High School..." This year is the year of the competition again, and Yan Tong'an, Yan Tonghua and Yan Tongzhu are about to end.

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

After the sacrifice, everyone walked down the mountain and arrived at the open space. Taifu Yan said, "It is rare that the family is so complete. Let's take a break here and have a while to play."

"I say this every year, and you can change some new words at least." Mrs. Yan couldn't help but laugh at him. The main reason is that this year, there are not enough people, and Master Yan San is missing a companion.

"It's enough to get the meaning. There's no need to change to new words." Taifu Yan smiled.

The maid laid a large blanket under the tree, arranged the low chairs and small tables he brought, and asked the masters to sit down and bring tea and fruit snacks. As soon as the Tutor Yan sat down, two more waves of people were descended from the mountain, one was from Duke Anguo's Mansion and the other was from the Marquis of Baoqing.

There were not much contacts between the Duke Anguo Mansion and the Marquis of Baoqing, but both families had relationships with the Yan family. So they came to greet Grand Tutor Yan. Yan Huo, who was flying kites with Yan Zi, saw Fu Zhixing and immediately ran over. The two had never met since the day of the Lantern Festival.

After Yan Huo came over, he first greeted the elders of the two mansions, and then said sweetly: "Cousin Fu, let's fly kites."

"I'll go fly a kite too, I'll fly a kite so well." Tian Xining is a playful person.

Yan Huo curled his lips and said, "King of Cowhide."

"What does it mean?" Tian Xining asked.

"I know, I know." Yan Qi followed Yan Huo closely, but was dragged down by the fat on her body. She slowed down a little, "The King of Cowhide is the same as bragging, just talking big."

"Hey, I, Mr. Tian, ​​never talk big. How about it, do you dare to compete with me?" Tian Xining caught up with Yan Hu and said.

Yan Huo glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"Who flew the kite higher?" Tian Xining looked at Yan Huo up and down, "You are younger than me, and I don't bully you either. You can find a helper."

"This is what you said." Yan Huo's eyes turned, "Cousin Fu, please help me."

"Okay." Fu Zhixing glanced at Tian Xining.

Yan Huo gave her carp kite to Fu Zhixing.

Tian Xining and Yan Tongming are familiar with each other, but Yan Tongming's kite has been put on, so he can't pull it off again, right?

"Zi, let him fly your kite." Yan Huo directly requisitioned his cousin's kite.

Although Yan Qi couldn't bear to let it go, she was used to listening to Yan Qiu's words, but she still reminded him, "Don't break my kite."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Tian Xining raised his hand to pat Yan Zi on the shoulder.

Yan Zi stepped back and glared at him.

The wife of Baoqing Hou was not far away, and she kept paying attention to this place. She could not hear the conversation, but only saw her son's movements, and frowned slightly. This boy was too unsovereign. Why did he touch so many people? The elders of the Yan family would be unhappy when they saw this. Thinking of this, the wife of Baoqing Hou hurried to see the Taifu Yan and others, and found that they were all chatting and did not notice there, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"Cousin Fu is so awesome!" Yan Huo said, slapped.

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

"Your kite is not as high as cousin Fu." Yan Huo took the time to look at his kite.

"I clearly put it higher than him, what are your eyes?" Tian Xining said unsatisfiedly.

Yan Huo bulged his cheeks and shouted, "Cousin Fu, put it higher, surpass him, surpass him."

Fu Zhixing smiled at her, and jogged, and the kite gradually rose; he saw that it was taller than Tian Xining's kite, and Yan Hu gave Tian Xining a provocative look.

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

At this time, the wind blew, and the two kites were too close to each other, tangling in the sky; Tian Xining pulled hard, "Hey, Fu, please walk over a little."

Fu Zhixing didn't make a sound and kept pulling the string, trying to separate the two kites, but the kites were getting tighter and tighter. Yan Huo first ran to Yan Tongliang, asked him about the little knife to protect him, and then ran to Fu Zhixing, "Cousin Fu, don't pull it, you will hurt your hand, and cut the thread with the little knife."

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

"If you can't pick it up, you don't want it. Anyway, this kite was bought in the street market." Yan Huo smiled sly, "If Cousin Fu feels that he owes you, then make a kite with you and make two kites and give it back to me."

Hearing this, Fu Zhixing took the knife she handed over and cut the kite string. The wind became stronger. Tian Xining failed to collect the string in time. The string broke and the two kites were shakingly blown away by the wind. Yan Zi rushed to Tian Xining and said, "You compensate me for the kite."

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

"I'm not a centipede, why do I need so many kites? I just need two hands, one kite, and a dragonfly style." Yan Qi was not greedy.

"Okay, okay, I will buy a dragonfly kite to pay for you." After dealing with Yan Xi, Tian Xining shouted to Fu Zhixing, who was holding Yan Huo's bran to wipe his sweat, "The surname is Fu, this time, we will compete next time."

Fu Zhixing glanced at him lightly and gave him two words, "Battle."

The fences were shaking the tree, overestimating their abilities. Tian Xining still knew it. Just as he was about to argue with Fu Zhixing, the elders had enough rest and called them over and were about to return to the city. Tian Xining clenched his fists at Fu Zhixing, "My surname is Fu, please wait for me."

Neither Fu Zhixing nor Yan Huo took his threat in his heart and went home with his elders.

The next afternoon, Yan Huo and Yan Siye were playing chess. Yan Huo’s chess skills were not good, so his chess skills were... "I put it wrong, I didn’t put it here."

"Xiaoxiao, I will never regret falling into the chess." Master Yan Si reminded his daughter.

"I am a lady, not a gentleman, so I can regret chess." Yan Huo picked up Bai Zi, thought about it, and fell down.

"I'm sure I'll let this go?" asked Master Yan Si.

Yan Hu nodded, "That's it."

Master Yan smiled and left a son, "This big piece is gone."

Yan Huo pouted, "Bad Dad."

"Then let you take the baby back and get it down again." Master Yan Si smiled.

Yan Huo laughed and took the white piece back. But even though she regretted the chess and cheated, she still lost. The father and daughter were about to play the second game, Amber came in to report: "Miss, the washing woman from Duke Anguo's mansion is here."

"Come in here quickly." Yan Huo said hurriedly.

This time, the woman was here to deliver kites. Fu Zhixing made two kites at Yan Hae's request, one was a carp lantern and the other was a magpies kite. He held the kite, Yan Hae smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, "Thank you, cousin Fu, tell him that I like kites very much, and let him fly kites with me next time."

The fairy woman wrote it down and said goodbye.

Master Yan Si was not too happy and said, "Xiaoxiao, you want a kite. Tell my dad that he can make kites and is better than Fu Wujiu."

"Dad, I'll take the kite back to the yard first, and I'll play chess with you later." Yan Huo said, leaving with the kite.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao..." Master Yan shouted twice. Seeing that his daughter had gone and never looked back, he had to pick up the chess piece on the chessboard into the chess box.

Two days later, Yu Qingqing sent the woman to send a post to Yan Huo, which read: "The spring is quiet and the spring is very quiet. I will prepare a small wine in the couple garden tomorrow. I hope my friends will go there, boat on the lake, enjoy the flowers and taste wine, how happy."

"It's so sour." Yan Huo complained, picked up his pen and wrote a reply, "Thank you for your invitation, I will come tomorrow."

The next day, Yanhu was about to go out, and Princess Nanping asked Yan Tongliang to accompany him. Yanhu thought that the person who was going to be the Bao Rong family this time was good, so it was good to let Yan Tongliang accompany him. When Yanhu arrived at the couple garden, he discovered that Bao Rong family had also invited two accompanying guests, Qiao Ruyu and Qiao Huaicheng.

"Brother Bao, I'll make you spend money." Yan Huo said politely.

"This little expense is nothing. The most important thing is that everyone has fun and eats satisfactory." Bao Rongjia smiled.

The coupling garden is centered on the coupling pool. All the buildings in the garden are surrounded by the pool. If they are built on floating water, each building is connected by arch bridges. The surrounding buildings are dotted with peaks, stones, flowers and trees, forming one excellent scenery after another.
