Chapter 19 This is the cemetery
The lambskin looks ordinary, and one corner of the top is even shiny, like evidence left by an old charlatan who chewed his hooves and didn't wipe his hands.
Duan Yi held it and looked around in her hand.
There were some traces on the top of the head, which looked like fragments of a map.
It’s a pity that it’s too shattered and can’t tell at all, what exactly is this place.
"The old charlatan came to Jiannan in a hurry. He secretly left the city without even sitting on the hot side. Does it mean that the place displayed in this map is Jiannan? So many people want it, it must be Zhang Baotu."
Duan Yi thought, took the lambskin to the light and roasted it, but it did not, like the treasure map in the storybook, roasted it without words and turned it into a magical skill.
This is a corner of a dull map...
Duan Yi shook her head in sighs, curled the lambskin with her hairband, then reached out and slapped it gently on the wall. With a slight crack, a small dark hole suddenly appeared on the wall.
Duan Yi stuffed things in randomly, and then another slap, and the hole closed in an instant.
She clapped her hands with satisfaction and lay on the couch.
The cunning rabbit has three holes. Once the secret room is discovered, it will be taken away in one fell swoop.
But these small holes won't... because sometimes she can't remember which hole she puts in.
...
"Girl, get up! I secretly looked at it. Miss Xian has already gone to the old lady's house to pay her respects!"
When he couldn't sleep for a long time, Duan Yi was woken up by the anxious call of Zhilu.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, couldn't help but yawn, and looked out the window with half-squinted eyes. The morning sun brought a thin golden light to the edges of the window, making the whole world appear warm.
Duan Yi was not angry, after all, she was beaten by someone who had been dancing with chickens for six years.
"Girl, I looked at the mother beside Miss Xian, and she was holding the hibiscus cake. She said that the girl got up early in the morning and made it. We can't be lazy anymore. In the capital, the girls have to settle the province in the morning and evening, and go to the old lady to serve her every day."
Duan Yi raised her eyebrows, got up, washed and changed her shirt, "I want the ancestors' religious rules in the cemetery, but the old people couldn't get up..."
Zhilu made a joke, pretending not to hear it, and dressed up Duan Yi!
Even though Zhilu rushed to the yard, Duan Yi was already the last of the sisters when she arrived at the old lady Lu's yard. As soon as she entered the door, her mother Gu Xing looked over with a worried look on her face.
"If the third sister is one step later, the hibiscus cake prepared by her sister will be cold."
Duan Yi looked over with interest. Her elder sister Duan Xian was holding chopsticks and serving the old lady with food. She slapped a table to eat on the table. Several juniors from the Duan family sat obediently in order.
Her eyes drooped, her eyelashes blinked, and she looked at Mrs. Lu with some anxiety, "What the big sister said is, Yi is not as good as the big sister. The big sister didn't sleep all night last night and made hibiscus cake for her grandmother."
"This morning, I was still energetic and really a model for noble girls in the capital. Yi got up late and became the last one to pay her respects. Please don't blame me for my grandmother, mother, and elder sister! Furong cake is indeed cold and not delicious!"
Duan Yi said, and bowed in a manner and sat towards the empty seat that was left.
Duan Xian's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and she looked over with a strange look.
Nowadays, all the house fights are just broken! If someone wants to give her eye drops, would you just say it first?
There was a moment of silence in the room. The old lady frowned slightly and looked at Duan Yi.
"We haven't returned to Jiannan for many years. Your grandfather plans to go to worship his ancestors today. You will get on your grandfather's carriage later." The old lady said, picking up the millet porridge and taking a sip.
"In a few days, your grandfather will reopen Qingyun Academy, and Ming'er will also go to school. Don't waste your studies. As for your sisters, you must remember to be careful in your words and actions, and don't tell anyone that our Duan family's daughter has no rules."
When it comes to the word "kid" and all the ladies of the Duan family blushed and lowered their heads, except Duan Yi.
Seeing the old lady staring at her, she opened her mouth and smiled, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, and put it into the old lady's plate.
The old lady's eyelids twitched and said, "The family has no overnight revenge. For so many years, your mother has been depressed. You have been growing in Jiannan, so you can pull a thread from it and let your mother and your grandfather untie the knot in your heart."
"Oh, your uncle... should always ask your mother and brothers and sisters to come and worship."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Gu Xing's eyes immediately turned red and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Duan Yi took a bite of the hibiscus cake, felt it was too sweet and put it down again, and extended the chopsticks to the small yellow croaker.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, he nodded with a smile, "Grandmother is beautiful and kind-hearted, and the family does not have overnight revenge."
Seeing that she was not resisted, the old lady nodded, and then said nothing, and focused on eating.
When the others saw that she didn't speak or dared not speak, the room suddenly became quiet.
Duan Yi looked at it with pleasure and tasted all the dishes on the table. The old lady Lu is from a common man, and the chef she brought with her is extraordinary. Compared to the chef in the old house, I don’t know how powerful it is.
The family members of the family quickly used the meal and went to the front yard. The carriages lined up, and the sacrifices were ready early in the morning.
Duan Yi walked towards the first carriage without hesitation. Grandfather Duan Wenchang and father Duan Sixian were already waiting on the top.
Duan Yi saluted and found an empty seat and sat down.
Duan Sixian nodded at her, without asking questions, but instead lifted up the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
"Dad, look, the road in Jincheng is wider and flatter than that in the capital! It was dark last night, and I was so scattered that I was so angry that I didn't have time to see it. Both roads were hibiscus flowers! They were so beautiful!"
Duan Yi looked at the shocked voice of the handsome man's father Duan Sixian, and couldn't help but stop going.
Please! Can you be a quiet handsome man?
As soon as you opened your mouth, I felt that the immortal sword in the sky was empty, fell down on the ground, and reincarnated into the pig's nest.
"Dad, Dad! When did we go to the cemetery before, we had to step on mud! When did we ask people to build the grave mountain and even the carriage could go up directly?" Duan Sixian obviously had no beauty's awareness and continued to say whatever he wanted.
Not to mention that he was frightened, even Duan Wenchang's eyelids jumped up.
He couldn't make a fuss, he seemed like an unfilial son who couldn't find his own ancestral grave.
But is this really the ancestral tomb of his family that was washed out of the cave by heavy rain?
He lived to his age, but I was afraid that it was only because he realized that the Duan family was not just a common family who had only become famous here. He was a second-generation ancestor who had been hiding for many years, right?
I saw that the grave mountain started from the foot of the mountain and divided it into two paths. A wide and flat carriage could go directly to the top of the mountain, and the other was a step by step bluestone stairs. The roadsides were colorful and the stone stairs were waiting for the winter to step on the snow to find plum blossoms.
What does it mean to have three steps, one pavilion, five steps, and one scene? What does it mean to have birds singing and flowers scent? He even saw a white jade belt and the stream gurgling!
I waited to the top of the mountain and saw that it was a good guy...
