    ?

    A child's "Hundred Days" is on the 99th day after birth; while a parent's "Hundred Days" is counted from the day of death, regardless of whether it is a big Jinyue or a small Jinyue, only three months plus ten days  That is.  For example, if Qingwan's mother died on the 21st of the sixth lunar month, her "hundred days" would be the first day of October.

    The "Hundred Days" festival is smaller than the "May 7th", but larger than the other "Shaoqi". Children, relatives and neighbors usually participate.

    [1] "The Proud Fisherman. October Spring" by Ouyang Xiu. Lyrics

    In October, the plum blossoms in Xiaochun,

    The Red Furnace Painting Pavilion is newly renovated,

    The beauty in the brocade tent sleeps warmly.

    Get up late, the jade pot is full of ice overnight.

    The four curtains on the upper floor are not rolled up,

    The weather is cold and the mountains are far away,

    The wind is rushing and the geese are blowing and breaking the words.

    The red sun is short, and Jiang Tianxue's mood is disturbed.

    In October of the lunar calendar, the weather is not very cold, just like the spring of March.

    Younger brother Mu Yu and older sister Qing Wan live in Xiulou.  Mu Yu loves to play, and only goes to sleep until the middle of the night.  In this way, she tosses Qing Wan and sleeps later.

    Her mother-in-law, Yu Lu, was busy with breakfast in the kitchen early in the morning, so that she could go back to her mother's house early to spend the "hundred days" for her dead sister-in-law.  But after breakfast was ready, there was no sign of the Qingwan siblings, so Yu Lu became anxious and rushed upstairs, cursing and saying: "You unfilial children, don't you know that today is your mother's white child?"  What day These two white-eyed wolves are still sleeping comfortably" Seeing that the curtains around them have not been rolled up, they went over to roll up the beaded curtains angrily, "Qingwan, you said you are not young, why are you so  Shameless, don't you see, the sun is shining on your butt?"

    Qing Wan was still sleeping with her younger brother in her arms. When she heard the shout, she turned her head and saw it was her mother-in-law, and said shamefully, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? You can just ask Cai Nan to call me, why bother you?"  "

    Yu Lu said angrily: "You are a rich and noble lady, if I don't come to invite you, who can invite you?" Seeing that Mu Yu was still in the "lazy bed", she said, "You still don't wake up your brother, I don't know if your mother is here today."  Over the 'Hundred Days'?"

    "Oh, I really forgot." Qing Wan hurriedly dressed Mu Yu.

    "Right now, the days are so short, tell me, what time will it be after the two of you have finished your breakfast, can you make it in time to visit your mother's grave?"

    "We're not hungry, we don't have breakfast." Qing Wan said.

    Mu Yu also said: "Not hungry, not hungry."

    Qingwan dressed her younger brother, and took her to wash his face.

    Mu Yu said: "Sister, don't wash your face!"

    Qing Wan grabbed him and said, "How can I do that?" After washing her brother's face, she briefly touched her face twice, and then said, "Sister-in-law, let's go quickly!"

    Seeing that Mu Yu was wearing a little thin, Yu Lu told her again: "You put on more clothes for Mu Yu, and you also add another one. Don't you see the ice outside the house?"

    Qing Wan added a coat to Mu Yu, and she also put on a cape, and hurried downstairs with her mother-in-law.

    Yu Lu said on the road: "From now on, don't call me little aunt. You've been here for so long. If others hear you, wouldn't you laugh at your lack of education? From now on, just call me mother-in-law" Seeing that Qingwan didn't want to change her words, she was unhappy  Said, "Do you think you are still the eldest lady of a wealthy family, stretching out your clothes and opening your mouth to eat? Our family is small and we can't afford so many mothers and maids. Three meals a day are enough for her."  I'm so busy, how can I have time to wash clothes? A daughter-in-law should look like a daughter-in-law, she should take care of her husband, teach her children, and serve her parents-in-law. Even if you can't wash clothes for your parents-in-law and husband, at least you should give them and Mu Yu's clothes.  Let's wash it! You can't just take off your old clothes, throw them there, and live your life as a young lady"

    Seeing her mother-in-law venting her secrets to herself and her younger brother in the past few days, fearing that her mother-in-law would say something worse, she quickly replied: "Got it, mother-in-law, I will do more housework in the future."

    Arriving at the door, I saw that my father-in-law Zhen Youqian and young husband Youcai were already waiting outside the door.

    Because the second-hand carriage he just bought was too small, the father-in-law asked Mr. Wang and Cai Nan to stay at home, and drove to the capital by himself.

    [2] "Autumn Geese" [1] Jiexi Si. Poetry

    When I arrived at my natal family in the city, it was already time.

    Father Yu Yannian, his own sisters, Mu Fan and a large group of cousins ??who were not in the "five clothes", as well as a large group of relatives headed by his eldest uncle Jie Xisi, stood in front of the carriage, waiting for the two close relatives  As soon as Qing Wan and Mu Yu arrived, they drove to the cemetery.

    Seeing Zhen Youqian driving the carriage with a smile on his face, the eldest aunt Yu Xin cursed: "I said his little uncle Do you think you are here for a trip? It doesn't matter if it's early or late ?"

    "How are they?"

    "Oh, you may not know that you were not married to Xiuran's father at that time. After Xiuran's mother passed away, your brother-in-law took Xiuran to my house. At that time, Qingwan liked to come to my house, and she didn't want to  I'm back home it's all for Xiu Ran to fall in love with"

    "Oh, so they are childhood sweethearts!"

    "That's right, at that time, you should marry Qing Wan back home!"

    Yu Tian was not happy when he heard that, "Sister, your family doesn't want it, but let me marry it back home."

    Yu Xin said embarrassingly, "Isn't your brother-in-law's family famous~"

    Yu Tian said: "Our Zhao family is also a scholarly family!"

    Seeing that the two sisters were about to turn against each other, Jiexi quickly smoothed things over: "The matter has come to this, what are you talking about? Is it Qing Wan's fault for losing your virginity? You can just go home if you don't marry her, why are you still here?"  Discriminate against her secretly? In the current world, women are already difficult enough. You say, you are also women, why do women make things difficult for their daughters?"

    The two sisters did not dare to take a breath in the atmosphere that Jiexisi said.  Coincidentally, the wild geese returning from the south honked and flew overhead.

    Yu Xin opened the car curtain and looked towards the sky, only to see the Chinese characters for "people" formed by wild geese were broken by the autumn wind, and the geese who were left behind kept singing.  Then he had nothing to say and said, "Second sister, look, how many geese have fallen behind."

    Yu Tian also moved to the elder sister's side and looked out of the window, saying, "The wild goose returns to the south."

    Yu Xin said: "What's so good about the south? I have to fly south."

    Yu Tian said: "The south is warm, they are going to the south for the winter"

    Seeing that the two sisters had reconciled, Jiexisi said with a smile:

    "The cold is warm in the south of the Yangtze River, and the hunger is full in the south of the Yangtze River;

    Don't say that Jiangnan is evil, but you must know that Jiangnan is good.  "

    Yu Tian turned her head and gave her brother-in-law a white look, and said, "Brother-in-law, you are homesick. It looks like you are really old."

    Yu Xin also turned her head, looked at her husband, and asked, "Are you old? Why am I old? Why do I feel the same as when I was young!"

    Yu Tian said: "Did you see my brother-in-law when he was young? Didn't my brother-in-law get married at the age of 39? Besides, the eldest sister is filling in a house, so I don't know how handsome my brother-in-law was when he was young."

    Yu Xin was annoyed again, and said, "My second marriage is better than your third marriage!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
