Chapter 302 Your Eighth Uncle Prepared You a New Year's Gift
The next day is the first day of the new year. The cold wind last night caused another snowfall. In the morning, there were still snowflakes. Fortunately, the snowfall was light this time, and there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground and trees.
of one layer.
As soon as it dawned in the morning, the girls in the yard got up to clear the snow and hung up the lanterns they had prepared earlier. Because it snowed yesterday, they didn't even hang up the small lanterns, for fear that they would be damaged by the snow.
Mingxin hummed as she pushed Xue. Seeing Qingluo relaxing beside her, she couldn't help but be envious: "It would be great if I could be as powerful as you!"
Xie Yixiao woke up, opened the window and saw them shoveling snow. When he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "If you are as powerful as Qingluo, you might go to heaven."
Ming Jing took a broom and swept out the path. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's right. If you can be as powerful as Qingluo, you might be able to reach heaven."
Ming Xin let out a sigh: "Let me tell you, after decades of practice, I can't compare to others, right?"
Ming Jing put down the broom, went in and brought a basin of hot water to wash Xie Yixiao, and put her into new clothes. It was the New Year, so naturally she had to put on festive clothes.
Xie Yixiao had already prepared less for this outfit. The begonia-colored dress was embroidered with clusters of golden plum blossoms. It was originally supposed to be embroidered with peonies, but Xie Yixiao had never liked wearing peonies. It was not because peonies were not good at wearing them.
Okay, I just think the peonies are too ostentatious, and the plums, bamboos, orchids and peach lotus are better.
Ming Jing tied her hair carefully, then took out the balm and powder to apply makeup. Xie Yi smiled and saw her applying the balm on her face, and then took the hand ointment for her hands and applied it carefully on her hands.
Xie Yixiao's skin is well-nourished, as white as jade, and feels as smooth as a peeled egg. She doesn't need to apply gouache, she just needs to apply skin care balm, and then add some powder to enhance the color.
Just a good look.
Her eyebrows and eyes are also very well-shaped. A pair of far-smoked eyebrows are like green mountains and green mountains. They are pleasing to the eye when they are peaceful, and they are soft and clear when they are slightly frowned. Her pair of big almond eyes are as clear and agile as if there are ripples in autumn water.
Xie Yixiao felt that if she were to play the role of White Lotus, she would most likely be able to play someone else to the point of death.
After putting on makeup, I also drew a plum blossom between my eyebrows.
Finally, there is the jewelry. Because it needs to be matched with clothes, this set of jewelry is also in the shape of plum blossoms. There is a golden plum blossom inlaid with rubies, a gold plum blossom hairpin inlaid with rubies, and finally a pair of earrings and a pair of thin
bracelet.
Xie Yixiao put on two delicate bracelets on her left hand, looked up at herself in the bronze mirror, and felt as if she was in a dream. Normally, she was dressed plainly and elegantly, and her temperament was gentle and modest, but when she was dressed like this, she was so noble.
Dignified and charming.
Ming Jing praised: "The girl is beautiful."
"It's indeed pretty." Xie Yi smiled, and then stood up. Mingjing took the forbidden jade pendant and tied it on her, and then took a silk shawl and put it on, leaving no trace of lip grease.
Since I have to go to the main room in the outer courtyard to have breakfast soon, I don’t need to light it up yet, but I have to take it with me. After breakfast, I can go to the side room and light it up.
They had just finished packing when Xie Yiling arrived. Today he was wearing a blue robe, a small lotus crown on his head, and his hair was combed meticulously. He looked like a serious young boy.
"Sister." Xie Yiling's eyes lit up when he saw Xie Yixiao dressed up like this for the first time, "Sister, she looks really good like this."
Xie Yi smiled: "Doesn't it look good?"
"Good-looking." Xie Yiling nodded vigorously, "Sister, I'm the prettiest."
Xie Yi laughed: "You went out today and ate candy. Why is your mouth so sweet? You left and went to the front yard to pay New Year greetings."
"Yes." Xie Yiling walked happily with her, and then walked to the main room.
When the two siblings arrived, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie Yian had also just arrived. Xie Yizhen was a little late and had not arrived yet.
Mr. Xie laughed heartily: "I was also telling you, among you boys and girls, who was the first to come here today? It turned out to be you."
The two siblings stepped forward to pay New Year greetings to their elder: "Yixiao, Yiling, I wish you good health and longevity."
Mr. Xie laughed heartily, said three good words in a row, and then asked people to give him lucky money and new year's gifts. He gave Xie Yixiao a set of jewelry and Xie Yiling a box of rosin ink.
"Thank you, uncle."
Mr. Xie said: "It's another year, another year older. This year Yixiao is about to get married. Before getting married, I will learn housekeeping from your sister-in-law and don't be lazy. If you learn well, you will be good for the rest of your life."
benefit."
"Yiling must study hard and don't slack off."
The two of them said yes.
After I finished paying my respects to Mr. Xie, I went to pay New Year greetings to Xie Yian and Mrs. Xie.
The Xie family had a good year this year. Although Xie Jin missed the top three in the imperial examination and only got fourth place, he still successfully entered the Hanlin Academy.
It has been imported, and when the spring flowers bloom, Xie Zhuo's bride will also come in.
Xie Yian's face glowed: "They are all good children. If you have anything to tell your elders, your parents are gone, but you still have brothers, uncles, and family at home."
Mrs. Xie asked people to bring the New Year's money and New Year's gifts, and said: "No, you are young, just like me and your eldest brother's children. If someone bullies you, don't bear it yourself."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law. Yi Xiao took note of it."
Xie Yiling also said: "I have also written it down, but don't worry, eldest brother and sister-in-law, no one will dare to bully me."
"Just write it down."
Not long after waiting, Xie Yu came.
Xie Yu was wearing new sapphire blue clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand. He was shaking it when he saw Xie Yixiao and Xie Yiling had arrived. Oops.
"Am I late, am I? I thought I was the first one to come to pay New Year greetings, but I didn't expect that there were others earlier. Oh, my aunt, my eighth uncle, you two are so unkind, so unkind!
"
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, why is he so naughty?
If you don't hit him for a day, you want to go to heaven, right?
Xie Yi smiled and stroked the hair beside her ears: "Theoretically speaking, although Yi Ling and I are a little younger, we are still aunts and uncles after all. We are also elders. You can also be considered the first one.
Happy New Year."
"Come on, come on, I've prepared New Year's money and New Year's gifts for you, my good nephew."
When Xie Yu heard the last part, he shivered all over, felt fuzzy in his heart, and felt a little scary.
Xie Yiling nodded vigorously: "That's right, mistress, it's time for you to pay New Year's greetings. Your eighth uncle has prepared a New Year's gift for you."
