A piece of Japanese incense

In the bright and fresh morning, the sun shines on the crystal clear dewdrops, like green gems inlaid on the green grass. The morning breeze gently brushes the cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

Today I wore the new green brocade skirt that Aunt Hong made for me. The light and soft fabric made me feel like I was wearing clouds on my body. When I walked, the hem of the skirt fluttered like flowing water.

Yutuan couldn't help grinning, and Yuyi happily got up early and dressed up carefully.

"Girl, do you think I look good like this?"

Yutuan was wearing a clear blue and emerald green dress with a plain satin ribbon casually tied around her slender waist. The breeze made her look even more graceful and agile.

"You are absolutely amazing! So beautiful! I am a man and I fell in love with you at first sight!"

"Girl! Come and look, which one should I wear?" Yuyi asked me anxiously, holding two hairpins. One is a gold-powder jade inlaid pearl hairpin and the other is a water-blue carved crystal hairpin.

"This one!" I pointed to the pink one.

"Miss, you are biased! Because this hairpin was given to you by you! I don't care! I choose this one! Yuyi must choose the one I give you!" Yutuan snatched the blue hairpin and put it in Yuyi's hair.

Finally, Yuyi, with one on each side, happily went out together.

Sitting comfortably in the carriage, the scenery along the way is like a painting, with the spring breeze blowing and lush greenery.

Arriving in Sengoku County, some people strolled in the woods, enjoying the beauty of nature and feeling the breath of spring; some children played on the grass, while their parents sat on the grass, chatting and laughing, enjoying a moment of tranquility; and a few children happily caught shrimps and fish in the clear stream, feeling the joy of childhood.

This spring outing has been in preparation for a year. At this time last year, I had the idea of ​​having a barbecue, and my grandfather customized the barbecue rack and skewers according to my idea. The barbecued meat and vegetables were also carefully marinated in advance.

The sun shines across the grass, outlining the leaves.

Master Bao asked Yuzhu and others to build a simple stove, while Yutuan, Yuyi and I went into the surrounding woods to pick up dead branches and prepare to make a fire.

Each dry branch, leafless, twisted and slightly prickly. I picked up a bare branch without branches, and held it in my hand, imagining it was a magic wand. I put down the small handful of branches I picked up, lay on the grass, took a deep breath, and the fragrance of grass and soil filled my nose, making me feel relaxed and refreshed.

Pretend that I am a magician in a green cloak who can collect white clouds, breeze, drizzle, lightning and sunshine, and then mix them into a unique spice to take me back to my grandmother and back to the world that belongs to me.

Close your eyes, wave your magic wand, point it to the sky, and shout, "Balala Energy!"

A light footstep made a faint rustling sound on the grass, like the sound of a breeze blowing through leaves. A crisp "crackling" sound penetrated my eardrums. It was the sound of footsteps stepping on grass stems. I opened my eyes, the sun was glaring, and a little light shone through my fingers. I tried to see the scene clearly.

The light hit the boy, casting a golden halo on him. He was wearing a pure white gown with a curly grass pattern, and his long black hair was half pulled up by a jade hairpin. He had his hands on his chest, his head slightly lowered, his expression calm and peaceful, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, a naughty smile, and even his two thick eyebrows were softly rippling, as if he was always smiling.

"What is your eldest niece doing?"

I stood up in a hurry and asked, "Uncle?" I immediately bowed and said, "How's your cousin?"

He patted my head and whispered, "What a coincidence! Are you here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xianshi County too?"

"Yes, I came here with my family. I heard from my father that my cousin will also take the imperial examination. Isn't it time for him to study classics and not eat until the sun sets?"

He shook his head nonchalantly: "It's just a small challenge. I'm fully prepared. All I need to do now is to keep my mind calm."

I nodded in agreement: "That's right, the success or failure in the exam is not important, the key is to perform at your best!"

"Girl! Why are you here? Give us a good look for you."

Yutuan and Yuyi came over with branches in their hands, talking and laughing. When they saw me and my uncle standing side by side, they walked over to me in confusion.

"Uncle, these two are my best friends. Yutuan and Yuyi, this one is my uncle."

"Uncle? When did you have an uncle? Did you meet a liar?" Yu Tuan came close to my ear and muttered softly.

I rolled my eyes at her and gave my cousin two dry laughs.

"Where is your camp? Let me help you carry the firewood over." My uncle came over and picked up the branches I put on the ground.

"Don't bother, just go and do your own thing, we can handle it on our own." I tried to pick up the branch.

"No rush. Let's go." He pretended to turn around.

I missed, scratched my head, and directed him to the left.

Grandma saw us and walked towards us from a distance, smiling and saying, "He Baoer, you made new friends so quickly?"

I took my grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, a relative that my father found recently."

Grandma looked at him with a little hesitation, then smiled and said, "Oh, OK! OK. What's your name, young man? How old are you this year?"

"My aunt, I am Feng He, and I am twenty-five this year."

"Thank you, Mr. Jin, for sending my daughter back. I won't bother you from your work. He'er, take your grandmother over to sit down and cover her with a blanket." My mother's face was gloomy and her eyes were stern. She glanced at me.

I couldn't help but shiver and got goose bumps all over my body.

"This must be my sister-in-law, I often hear my cousin mention you..."

"Shut up! I have nothing to do with him!" Anger showed on my mother's face and she raised her voice.

"Why don't you come over? Come on, the old buns are already grilled." Grandfather came over with a smile, "Who is this young man? We are having a barbecue today, come and try it."

"Father, he is..."

Grandfather hugged grandmother and urged everyone to go over as soon as possible: "It's okay, everyone who comes is a guest, come and taste the cooking of our chef!"

Chef Bao flips the meat on the grill, the charcoal fire produces a sizzling fat, and the tempting aroma fills the air, making people salivate.

Nanxing was washing pearl-like rice in the clear lake water; Zhuli put crayfish with minced garlic and onions into a bowl, and then carefully peeled off the bright red shells to reveal the tender and delicate white meat; Aunt Liu was cutting fragrant sausages, the rich meat aroma was mouth-watering.

The aroma of food permeates the air, awakening the dormant taste buds and making people intoxicated by the worldly life.

At this moment, the clear blue sky, the misty white clouds, the gentle breeze, the delicious food, and the dark green mountains in the distance all paint a peaceful and beautiful picture, making people indulge in the joy of close contact with nature...
