- When Yu Lu saw that You Gan had been out for several days and even brought back a horse, she was so angry.
During dinner, Yu Lu asked angrily: "You have no money and no place to spend it!"
"What do you mean no place to spend?" Yougan said, "Don't you see that old horse of ours, isn't it useless?"
"Can you buy such a pony that it can pull a cart?"
"Keep it for a year or so, it's fine."
"The original horse, youngest? When you bought it, you said you were in the prime of life!"
"When I married you, wasn't it also in the prime of life?" You Gan said, "Only you are allowed to grow old, and you are not allowed to grow old?"
"How many years have I been in your house, and it has only been here for a few years It's getting old too fast, and it won't be able to pull a car in two years?"
Yougan knew that it was unreasonable, so he said: "That is not a cart horse, but a retired Mongolian army horse. I spent money to get it, and I wanted to ride it. You have to buy it." The car, that¡¯s why it was wronged to drive the car.¡±
"Oh, you want to replace it, ride it yourself!"
"The key is that it doesn't match the cart. How big is this military horse, is it suitable for pulling a cart? Don't you think it's a bit 'up' to sit in the cart?"
"That should also change the carriage, not the horse."
Yougan was speechless, and walked out of the house resentfully.
At this time, Qing Wan and Cai Ning were sorting out the "baggage" and "support" [1] for her mother's grave on the Qingming Festival. You Gan leaned over and gave her a look, implying that he had already made arrangements for the abortion.
[1] "Chang'an Qingming-Shangque" Poetry by Wei Zhuang
Fleas hurt spring dreams and rainy days,
It can be said that the fragrant grass is more prosperous.
The internal officials first bestowed the Qingming fire,
The prime minister spends money for free.
The rain fell quietly all night, and it was still falling in the early afternoon. This is the season when flowers bloom and fall, so why does it have to rain? It's even more unbearable to deal with that lush and fragrant grass.
Mu Yu took a day off and was going to go home with her elder sister Qingwan to visit her mother's grave.
After a hasty breakfast, the two sisters loaded the things for going to the grave into the car. Qing Wan and Yu Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the car, and Mu Yu sat in the front, saying that she wanted to see the scenery along the way. While driving, Yougan asked Mu Yu about his son Youcai's situation at school.
In less than an hour, the carriage arrived at the parents' home of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Yu Tian and the three Huilan sisters had already arrived. Yu Lu said hello: "Second sister, you can really catch up early."
Yu Tian smiled and said, "We rushed back to have a good meal."
"What good food did you eat?"
"Egg soup with steamed buns."
"Second sister, don't you think you can't even eat steamed buns?"
"What do you think? Your second sister is miserable now~~~" Yu Tian said in that operatic way.
Hearing that the third aunt had arrived, Aunt Zhen also came to the hall and asked, "What is so happy about it, why are you still singing"
Yu Lu said: "Eat your steamed buns, you're going crazy!"
"Really," Aunt Zhen smiled, "I know your second sister would like to eat the steamed buns I made, and I'll get up on the fourth watch to make noodles"
Yu Lu's jealousy came up again: "Did you do it yourself?"
Aunt Zhen said: "Yes!"
Yu Lu blamed and said: "Why are you so kind to the second sister, but you don't answer me?"
Aunt Zhen hurriedly explained: "This is all explained by your elder brother, saying that your second sister is weak and needs food supplements."
Yu Lu said: "Hmph, I need more love!"
"With your big and wide body, do you still need to make up?" After finishing speaking, he dragged Yu Tian away, "I heard Yingying say"
Seeing that her aunt and sister-in-law put her aside again, Yu Lu yelled, "Hey, are you still going to visit the grave!?"
Aunt Zhen turned her head and said, "Wait for your elder brother, he is still in class!"
The second sister also turned her head and gave Yu Lu a blank look
[2] "Chang'an Qingming-Xiaque" Wei Zhuang. Poetry
Zi Mo hissed and shouted red,
Green Yang Gao Yinghua swing.
Tourists remember the events of peace,
Secretly happy, the scenery is like the past.
The three carriages of the Yu family passed the palace and headed west.
The streets are full of colorful horses, they shout and run, towards the lake and the mountains; among the green poplars, colorful butterflies are flying up and down, they are a group of girls on swings.
The carriage came to Heishan [now Babaoshan] and stopped by the side of the mountain road.

(2) Traditional ghost money
Traditional Mingqian is usually made of yellow and white paper with patterns painted on it, and gold or silver foil is stuck on it. Sticking gold foil is called "gold paper", which is burned to the gods or used as a blessing. Sticking silver foil is called "silver paper", and it is burned to ancestors or ghosts. There is a poem that says: "Who made paper money and paper money, people can't use ghosts for pleasure. A thread hangs on a deserted grave, and pear blossoms blow up sorrow and cold clouds."
In central and northern China, paper money is also cut into copper coins and silver ingots. The paper money used in the Qing Dynasty was as big as a cup mouth. The yellow paper money was printed with the words "Quantai Shangbao", and the white paper money was printed with the words "Mingyou Yabao".
?In the north and south of Taiwan, the styles of paper money are similar, but the colors and names are not the same. For example, "Qijin" is popular in northern Taiwan, but it is not popular in southern Taiwan, and it is replaced by "Sifangjin".
There is also a kind of paper money with servants, beauties, chariots and horses, living utensils and so on painted on it. This kind of ghost note is not a general form of currency, but represents the real thing itself, such as the popular paper money "changing clothes" and "jiama" in Taiwan.
"Changing clothes" or "Jingyi" is a piece of paper money painted with clothes, trousers and other living utensils, which are used to burn to the dead. "Jia Ma" is a piece of paper money with armor, horses and followers painted on it, which is used to burn to heavenly soldiers and generals.
Due to the prevalence of Buddhism, some people will print Buddhist scriptures and mantras on paper and burn them to ancestors and dead souls, hoping to obtain blessings in this way, such as "rebirth money" printed with the mantra of rebirth. Those who are more serious will use such paper money to fold into lotus flowers and paper boats to symbolize the transcendence to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Some people fold it into ingots, which symbolize silver ingots, and use them as currency flowers.
In ancient tomb sacrifices, colored paper was cut into long strands and hung on the tomb called hanging money, inheriting the ancient custom. In modern times, there are also paper money that is not burned. For example, gravel and soil clods are pressed on the tomb when sweeping the tomb, which represents the meaning of repairing the tomb. tomb paper.
Generally speaking, there are two styles of tomb paper: one is colored, called "five-color paper", which is the style of Quanzhou; the other is pure yellow, which is used by Zhangzhou people.
