The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 56 Apricot Blossom Spring Rain (2)
This time is no exception.

After a while, Miss Su's voice sounded from the gate: "Xiucai, let's go and visit our father's grave!"

"So fast?" Min Lansheng poked her head out from the raised window sash, and saw that the lady was already standing at the gate of the courtyard with her hands on the door, waiting for him, with the 'lady with a basket' on her back.

The bigger one is called 'Back Basket Xianggong', and the smaller one is called 'Back Basket Lady'. These strange names are all from the mouth of a scholar.

"Isn't it just to prepare some drinks and tributes? Our family has them all ready-made. Come out quickly, the grave cannot be past noon." Su Xiazhi waved at him, signaling him to be quicker.

After locking the courtyard door, the husband and wife walked side by side through the village towards the path up the mountain.

Married here for two months, this is Su Xiazhi's first time going up the mountain.It was also a good time when the mountain flowers were in full bloom and the grass was green. Naturally, I felt beautiful everywhere, and looking around was no longer enough.

There was tenderness in her hand, and Min Lansheng had already reached out to hold her little hand.Although Jiulong Mountain is not very high, the road up the mountain is much steeper than the flat ground. Seeing the woman beside him kept looking around, he had no choice but to reach out and hold her.

Su Xiazhi closed her eyes and looked at him in surprise.Xiucai is indifferent and thoughtful, and has always looked cold in front of others. It is very rare for him to hold her hand outside the house like now.

Clutching his warm palm and shaking his arm, Miss Su smiled inadvertently as soon as her mind turned.Knowing that the men around him have hearts, they always protect their own safety when walking on the mountain road.

It was early to go to the grave, so the two went straight to the place where Father Min was buried.

The path on the mountainside is getting more and more difficult to walk, because few people will go to the cemetery to cut firewood, so the thorns and branches on both sides of the road are stretched out carelessly, blocking the passing pedestrians at any time.

From walking side by side to walking one behind the other, Min Lansheng in front was still holding Su Xiazhi's hand tightly, walking in a hurry, his palms became wet and sweaty.

"It's here." The scholar who had been silent all this time finally spoke.

There is only one tomb on a small piece of flat land crossed in, surrounded by last year's withered grass mixed with this year's new grass, making it look desolate.There were a few lines of writing written on the half-person-high bluestone tombstone, but Su Xiazhi didn't read it carefully.

She always felt that the tombstone was like the face of an old person, and she didn't want to look at it too much.

Putting down the basket, Su Xiazhi bent over and walked around the grave, pulled out some weeds nearby, and cleaned the open space in front of the tombstone with a handful of dry grass, and placed all the drinks and tributes he brought He came out, and then stared at the scholar in a daze at the tomb.

Min Lansheng shifted his gaze to those tributes in a daze, and the corner of his lips twitched!
A jar of wine is exactly the shochu used by the lady to marinate eggs.

The tribute is two white radishes, a handful of coriander, and two scones, which look very colorful!
"Hey! Don't worry about the details, the important thing is our sincerity..." Originally, there was a small pumpkin in the basket, but seeing Xianggong's face, Su Xiazhi automatically ignored the last tribute and took out some rice paper Hand it to: "This is my honor to my father."

This time Min Lansheng not only twitched the corners of her lips, but even raised her eyebrows, and wrote a few big characters on the paper - 1000 million taels!

This is Miss Su's inspiration from the Ming coins in modern society. She decided to visit her father-in-law's grave on a temporary basis. How could she have the time to prepare so thoroughly?Therefore, this 'meaningful' Mingbi was born...

Opened the shochu, sprinkled it around the grave, and pressed Su Xiazhi's homemade burnt paper on the grave with a small stone. Min Lansheng pulled Su Xiazhi to kneel in front of his father's grave respectfully and kowtowed three times: "Father, Lan Sheng is married, this is your daughter-in-law Su."

"Today is the first time our husband and wife have come to see you. My Min family has always been sparsely populated. Don't worry, the child will spread out early and continue the cigarettes so that the connections will not wither!"

Su Xiazhi, who was kneeling by the side, felt that something was wrong the more she heard it. If it wasn't for talking nonsense to her father-in-law's tombstone, she would definitely grab the scholar's ear and ask, "Who are you talking about, huh?"

After paying homage to the ancestors, Min Lansheng pulled out a lot of weeds around, and Miss Su took the opportunity to put back the 'tribute' she had prepared into her back basket: "Father doesn't have stove seasoning here, so it's really inconvenient to cook..."

Min Lansheng worked silently and ignored her.Growing up so big, he has never seen anyone use vegetables to worship their ancestors...

"Let's go for a walk on the mountain." Seeing that the cleaning is almost done, Min Lansheng patted the dust on his hands, and walked back: "Tomb-sweeping and outing, the apricot blossoms on the top of the mountain must be better than other places."

She automatically put her little hand into his palm, Miss Su looked up and didn't see Xinglin, but saw that the sky was cloudy again, she thought: It won't be raining again, right?
When we climbed to the top of the mountain holding hands, the drizzle came as expected.It's so light that it doesn't seem to be there, it just wets the air in the lungs and breathes it in, which makes people feel very uncomfortable...

A piece of powder cloud came into the eyes, and the continuous and gorgeous apricot blossoms bloomed, making Su Xiazhi hold his breath: "Wow! Don't you want it to be so beautiful..."

Shaking a branch of apricot blossoms, Kazuki's flowers moved accordingly, pink petals fluttered down one after another, flying around the two of them, Su Xiazhi looked up at Min Lansheng who was standing under the tree with his hands behind his back, feeling a little intoxicated.

Apricot blossoms, drizzle, spring, youth...

This beauty should be in a dream...

"Fool, look at your husband in a daze again!" Turning her head to face the bewildered woman, Min Lansheng pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her plain hand and wiped off a petal on her face with a jade-like finger, Su Xiazhi opened her mouth and bit his finger , I licked it with the tip of my tongue, and the petal had already entered my mouth, and then said in a low voice with the petal in my mouth: "Spring tour, apricot blossoms blowing all over your head. Who is young in Moshang, full of flair. The concubine plans to marry her, rest forever..."

There was originally another sentence in the back: You can always be ruthlessly abandoned, and you can't rest...

Su Xiazhi didn't read this sentence, ruthlessly abandon?Abandoned Lao Tzu?hey-hey!If you can't beat him to death, he is considered strong!
The petals were crushed in the mouth as she groaned softly, and there was a faint bitter taste between the teeth and cheeks, but after tasting, the bitter taste faded away and only the sweetness remained.

"Fool." Min Lansheng's voice was hoarse, his palms were frozen in mid-air, and he was about to speak when another strange voice came: "What a coincidence? I met Brother Min Xian here..."
