"There is still me, there is still me, Thirteenth Aunt still has me!"
Xie Yixiao didn't put much thought into what she gave to the side branch. She asked Mingjing to go to the Silver House to make a batch of silver cherries, packed two of them in a purse, and made a pair. They treated it as lucky money and a New Year's gift.
She originally wanted to make peanuts, but found that there were no peanuts in this dynasty, so she had to find something else. She happened to like eating cherries, so she made cherries.
Everyone took their purses, took them out and took a look, and found a pair of exquisite silver cherries. They were immediately happy. The boys were just that, but the girls couldn't put it down and they liked it very much.
The things are made of silver, they are not light in weight, and they are also exquisitely made.
"This one actually looks like a cherry. It's beautiful."
“It’s really beautiful.”
"Thank you Thirteenth Aunt."
"Thank you Thirteenth Aunt."
Xie Yi smiled and saw that they liked it very much, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you like it."
It is actually quite difficult to give these gifts. Because there are too many people, it is not easy to give too expensive gifts. It is also a bit unreasonable to give money directly. In this way, making the money into the shape of cherries is just a matter of time.
good.
If you like it, just keep it. If you don't like it, just melt it and turn it into silver flowers.
A group of people were chatting lively, from today last year to this year in previous years, and what to do this year.
These ladies, men, girls and boys each occupied their own camp and gathered together to talk. The younger ones did not join them because they were too young to sit still, so they could only run around and play wildly.
The Xie family is lively and lively, just like the whole family, prosperous and lively.
Xie Yixiao asked the girl and her wives to share the Hongyan wine she brewed last year. Hongyan wine, also known as Bu Lao Tang, was the health-preserving wine recipe of Gong Tingxian, a famous imperial physician in the Ming Dynasty.
For this wine, take four ounces of walnut kernels, four ounces of red dates, four ounces of white honey, two ounces of butter, and one ounce of almonds. After processing each, first use a self-made shochu in a Jinhua altar, first dissolve the white honey and ghee, and then add
The three medicines are soaked in wine for 37 days and it is ready.
Take one or two cups every morning to maintain your health. This wine has mild medicinal properties and is sweet and delicious. It not only has the effects of tonifying the kidneys and qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, moistening the lungs and intestines, but also regulates qi and blood, and nourishes the appearance.
Taking it regularly can relieve insomnia and anxiety, make your face rosy and delay aging.
When everyone drank it, they also found it sweet and delicious, and felt it was wonderful. They wanted to drink it again, but when Xie Yi laughed and said that he could only drink one cup a day, he could only put down the glass with regret.
With such good things, ordinary people can't even get together what they need. How can they make any kind of beauty wine and youthful soup? They can only be lucky enough to have a drink in this main house.
"The thirteenth girl is really powerful. I have been in the Imperial City for many years, but I have never heard of any beauty wine and youthful soup. If it really has this effect, then not everyone will want to ask for a drink."
"That is, if this is the case, if the thirteenth girl opens a shop by herself and sells this beauty wine, she will make a lot of money."
In the Imperial City, the most indispensable thing at the feet of the emperor is the rich. Whether there are ladies from this family or that family, no matter how poor they are, if it really has miraculous effects, even if it is sold at a high price, a lot of people will come to buy it.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Forget it, I'll just make some myself and use it. I'm too lazy to bother."
While a group of people were saying this, someone came outside to report that it was Xie Kang and his family who came to pay New Year greetings.
The people in the room fell silent at the moment.
"Xie Kang? Who is that? Why don't I remember that there is a whole person in our clan?"
"I don't seem to remember either."
The population of the Xie family is not that large. A group of people live in the same alley. After living there for so many years, everyone knows who belongs to which family.
But there is no one named Xie Kang in their clan!
"This came out of nowhere..."
"Could it be that someone had a baby with someone else outside?"
As soon as these words came out, the men shouted that they were wronged. The clan rules were set. Even if they jumped up and down, even if they were greedy for the beauty outside, no one dared to challenge the clan rules, right?
I'm afraid that if I don't get kicked out of the family, I don't know how I will die outside in the future.
Even Xie Yiling's biological father, Xie Dan, fell in love with a girl before he got married. He had no choice but to follow his parents' arrangements and marry Xie Yiling's biological mother. After Xie Yiling's biological mother died, he married the girl he liked back.
Although Xie Dan married his sweetheart and had a child from his sweetheart, he was disgusted with Xie Yiling and wished he was dead. He must not be a good person, but he did not dare to do anything before marrying him back.
A child comes.
Otherwise, the family would not be able to tolerate him.
"I just remembered." Someone suddenly remembered that such a family came, "There are two families of the Xie family in Jinshan City who stayed in the Imperial City, and Xie Kang is one of them."
"Yes, there is indeed a family leader named Xie Kang."
Everyone present reacted when they heard this.
but......
"What are they doing here?"
"What are they doing here on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Even if they want to visit relatives, they have to wait until the third day of the Lunar New Year to come."
The first day of the Lunar New Year is a lively day for family reunions. The main house of the Xie family is the most expensive and the place is the most spacious. I come here every year. The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the daughter-in-law leaves her parents' home. On the third day of the Lunar New Year,
After that, the family could be free and other relatives started to move around.
Someone sneered: "Maybe they think that they are one of the same family as us. Isn't the first day of the new year the day for family reunion?"
As soon as these words came out, some people frowned: "Who is the same family as them?"
"That's it, who is the same as them?" A woman with a more explosive temper suddenly stood up, "I want to take a closer look, what do they want to do? How can they be so thick-skinned!"
"I heard that there is a girl who always runs to Xie's house. That girl named Xie Lian must be from their family! One time she dared to send my girl to do something. Who does she think she is? Is she the master?"
No one from the direct branch of the Xie family treats the people from the side branches as slaves. If they need their help, they will provide corresponding benefits after the task is completed. Just like last time, Xie Zhukong didn't help and asked Xie Yu to help entertain the fourth girl Wen.
It also gave benefits.
What's more important is that this family came here on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which touched the bottom line of many clan members.
Although the money of the Xie family varies every year, it is distributed to each household and each person. If there is an extra family to share the money, wouldn't it mean that the money distributed to them will be less.
This is simply intolerable.
"Come on, let's go take a look." After saying that, someone wanted to go out.
Mrs. Xie coughed: "Where are you going? Come back."
"On the first day of the new year, why are you so angry? It's making people laugh. Since they want to get involved, it depends on whether we are happy for them to get involved."
"The Xie family is having a family reunion today. We don't have time to entertain foreign guests. We just need to send someone to tell them and let them come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
