After the wedding date was set, Jiang handed over Gu Qinse's previous dowry to Xie Yixiao, and also gave Xie Yiling's share in person, and distributed all these things.
In the following days, Xie Yixiao began to take over these shops and farms. He was very busy in the hot summer, but it passed quickly, and it was August in a flash.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Xie Yihui and Ji Danshu plan to move out. The Ji family also has a house in the Imperial City, which was Xie Yihui's dowry. The Nian family will come to hire them on August 23rd.
After all, Ji Danshu's surname is Ji. There was nothing wrong with living in the Xie family when they were discussing marriage, but it would not be appropriate to formally make the engagement in the Xie family. After all, the Ji family is not dead. If the Nian family comes to the Xie family to make an appointment,
It was simply a slap in the face of the Ji family.
Ji Danshu has been packing her things these two days. When the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the mother and daughter will move back to Ji's house. Ji Danshu's father and Ji Danqing will also come over. After getting engaged to the Nian family, Xie Yihui and her husband and son will return to Ji's house.
Ji Danshu went home, and Ji Danshu came back to live with Xie's family first.
With nothing to do, Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhuji Danshu made some mooncakes together. Xie Yixiao saw that everyone was eating well, so she sent some to Changning Marquis Mansion and Rong Guogong Mansion. Then she taught Ji Danshu how to make mooncakes.
She sent someone to send some to her home last year.
"Just give something you made yourself. People from families like ours, although some may not be very rich, are definitely indispensable if they want something to eat. People may not care what expensive things you give, but they often give you some thoughtful things."
, they are even more happy.”
"Things like feelings are all cultivated. If you remember something good when you see it, they will be very happy, but don't go too far, otherwise it will be suspected of trying to please."
Ji Danshu nodded: "Auntie is right."
At this time, Mr. Xie happened to hear that they had made mooncakes, and touched them over. After hearing this, he couldn't help but snorted: "I think this is wrong. It shouldn't be too much. I think it's good."
Just send it to me, I will be happier if you send it to me every day."
"I heard that you guys have made moon cakes, have you made moon cakes? Thirteen, don't forget about your natal family, especially if you have a husband's family."
Mr. Xie doesn't mind these speculations and tricks to please the elders. After all, it is better to please those who are willing to please than those who are unintentional and unwilling to even care.
Being able to please your elders, get blessings, live a better life, and get along harmoniously in your family is also a skill.
And you can’t say that this is hypocrisy, right?
"Why are you here?"
"If I don't come over, wouldn't you have to divide all these things and leave none for me? Thirteen, it hurts my heart so much if you do this."
Xie Yi smiled and saw that he was almost beating his feet and chest. His expression seemed to say, "I misjudged you." He couldn't help but want to laugh. Sure enough, Xie Yu's temperament was not unfounded. Maybe this was the reason.
It's called intergenerational inheritance.
Speaking of Xie Yu, that boy has been busy making money recently, and he is afraid that if he loses money, he will sell himself to pay off his debts or marry a fierce woman.
"How could it be possible? Didn't I just divide it up and just plan to send it over, so you came here by yourself. You don't feel guilty even when you say it. When did I miss you when I have good things?"
She can't do anything else, but she has always been careful in her behavior. If there are too few things to divide, she would rather keep them for herself than divide them. If there are enough things, each elder will have a share, and no one will have a lot.
She won't do things like give this or not, and she's not stupid, right?
When Mr. Xie heard this, he was satisfied. He took a piece of mooncake and took a bite. He thought it was good, so he said, "If there is anything left, leave some for me."
Xie Yi smiled and said, "Can I make more for you?"
"It's done." Mr. Xie was satisfied and walked away happily with a plate of mooncakes.
Xie Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Little aunt, you still have the ability."
Xie Zhu really couldn't handle this ancestral scoundrel. Unlike Xie Yihui and Xie Yu, she and Xie Yihui dared to make noises with the old man. Xie Yu often risked having his legs broken by arguing with him, but Xie Zhu didn't dare.
, she is a serious junior, how dare she quarrel with her elders.
But she was not as careful and articulate as Xie Yixiao, and she managed to fool this man into a fool.
Xie Zhu felt that she was not very successful in her reincarnation this time.
Xie Yixiao coughed lightly, not telling Xie Zhu about his trick of cheating. Old children, old children, and old people are old. They either like to be lively or they like the younger people to be filial to them. On weekdays, just pay more attention to them and coax them.
.
"When you have free time, go to my uncle's place and play chess, chat, listen to music, and drink tea with him."
After Mr. Xie resigned from office, he only loved doing these four things to pass the time. The men in the family were all busy in their own way, working on errands and studying, and it was not easy for the women to go to him all the time, so Xie Xie
Yi laughed and went to accompany him when he had free time.
Fortunately, she knows these things well and can bear her temper. Xie Zhu has also been there, but she doesn't like them very much and can't sit still.
Xie Zhu felt a little headache when she heard this: "I'm very happy to visit my grandfather, but I really can't bear it." Especially when she played chess with the old man or listened to him playing the piano, her head ached.
She is now her little aunt, and she can still compare notes with her grandfather and learn from each other. She is really very capable.
"Then you have to temper your temper, otherwise you will suffer losses in the future." Xie Yixiao said.
Xie Zhu sighed softly: "My eldest aunt also said the same thing, but I'm used to being comfortable, and I really can't make up my mind."
Xie Yixiao thought for a while and said: "How about you practice calligraphy first, practice more and determine the character? Your birthday is coming soon, but is there anything in particular you want?"
Xie Zhu was not very lucky. Her birthday happened to fall on the sixth day of September, which was close to the Double Ninth Festival. Every year for her birthday, the whole family would just have a meal together, and not even a single friend would dare to come over.
But this year is Xie Zhu’s 15th birthday and it’s different from previous years. I don’t know what the Xie family will do.
Xie Zhu said, "I don't have anything in particular that I want. I'll give it to my little aunt." She lacked nothing, so naturally she didn't want anything in particular.
"But it's possible that it won't be possible to get a hairpin." Xie Zhu sighed, feeling a little regretful, but she was not an ignorant child.
"Two months ago, my eldest aunt asked me whether I should organize a small one even if I couldn't do it in a big way, or move the date forward or move it back. I thought about it and forgot about it."
"If you can't do it without causing others to gossip, then don't worry about it. If you really feel sorry for me, when I get married in the future, just give me a thicker wedding dress. I like this the most."
