After Wang Qinshan read the article, he was quite satisfied and asked him to change his name to his uncle.
Wang Qinshan was originally Xu Yuanqing's fellow junior, but now that he said it personally, it was equivalent to recognizing Xie Xiuwen, which was a relationship that no one else could ask for.
On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Xiuwen went to ask Wang Qinshan for advice again, and was even stayed for lunch.
On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Xiuwen personally sent some new year gifts to the palace. Even though they were not very expensive things, Wang Qinshan was still very satisfied with this intention.
"Your energy should be focused on your studies. You will be able to take the test in more than two months. Don't let other miscellaneous things distract your mind."
"Yes, uncle, students, please remember this."
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Yue and Cao Xin arrived at Sanxing Hutong together.
"Two adults, please take your seats."
"You don't have to be so polite. We're here to see little sweetie. The New Year is coming, so I specially prepared a New Year gift for little sweetheart to see if she likes it."
Xie Xiuwen quickly saluted and said: "I don't dare, it's my little girl who has made the two adults worry."
Zhao Yue waved his hand nonchalantly: "I also like the little darling. This girl is very courageous and very smart."
Cao Xin nodded: "Yes, this child is really smart. He looks like a little Fuwa. The more I look at him, the more I like him."
Xie Xiuwen lowered his head: Humph, if you like her again, she is also my daughter!
Xie Rongzhao was accompanied by Grandma Wang, the sister-in-law Wang who had been serving Liu Ruolan before.
"Mommy, please go back first, it's cold outside."
Grandma Wang smiled and said: "Miss, please go in quickly. Your servant is waiting for you in the side hall."
Xie Rongzhao actually didn't have much distance from the backyard to the front hall. After all, she was only the second person in the house. She felt that the cloak on her body was not warm yet, so she had to take it off again when she entered the house.
"My dear, please give my regards to uncle and father."
Xie Rongzhao performed a Wanfu ceremony, and as soon as he stood up, Zhao Yue called him over.
"Let's see, why do you look like you've lost some weight? You haven't eaten well these past few days?"
Xie Rongzhao smiled sweetly: "I'm not thin. Is it because I've grown taller?"
Zhao Yue really made a few gestures with his hand on the top of her head, shook his head and said: "I really didn't notice it, but my eyes looked bigger."
Cao Xin on the side responded: "The eyes look bigger, which means that the face has lost weight."
Xie Rongzhao laughed and said: "Uncle, I prepared a New Year's gift for you. My father originally said that he would send it to me on my behalf, but you happened to be here, so I can give it to you directly, okay?"
Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows, obviously in a good mood: "Then tell me, what have you prepared for me?"
Xie Rongzhao turned to look at Xie Xiuwen, and when he saw him nodding, he said: "Of course I have prepared good things. Just wait, I will go to the backyard to get them."
"Don't worry, let's see if these things are to your liking. If they are, take them to the backyard together."
Xie Rongzhao thought that he had received gifts from them once before, most of which were for his own use, and he didn't know what they were this time.
Xie Xiuwen was also watching, and was somewhat flattered when he saw Xie Rongzhao take out a box, which contained bird's nests.
This thing is so valuable!
If it's cooked, a small bowl will cost dozens of taels of silver, so I don't dare to ask for it casually.
"Your Majesty, this is too valuable, we cannot accept it."
Zhao Yue just glanced at him sideways: "I gave this to my little darling. Look how much weight this girl has lost. The weather in the north is different from that in the south. She needs to make up for herself when the weather is cold. She is young. , I can’t take any big supplements, so this is just right.”
Xie Xiuwen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, as if the bird's nest was not a tonic.
Xie Rongzhao just took a cursory glance, then smiled and thanked Zhao Yue: "They are all good things! I like them all, thank you uncle. But does it cost a lot of money? If it is too expensive, I The gifts prepared for uncle may seem too cheap. Dad said that if the gifts given are not equal to each other, it is disrespectful to the other party."
Zhao Yue and Cao Xin both looked at Xie Xiuwen in surprise, not expecting that this man could even teach the little boy these things.
"My dear, the value of a gift is not just judged by money. How about we make a judgment later when you pick up the gift you prepared for me?"
Xie Rongzhao nodded happily, and then hesitantly glanced at another small box: "This one is kept alone. Was it given to me by Uncle?"
Cao Xin's heartbeat accelerated. After such a long time, the little boy finally knew how to say something to him.
"Well, your aunt picked this, let's see if you like it."
Xie Rongzhao opened it and saw that it was a set of gold bell jewelry, including two small gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, two red silk hairbands, and two gold bells hanging on each end. With a slight shake, they jingled. It's really crisp and nice.
"It's so beautiful. Thank you, Uncle, and thank you, Auntie, for me."
"Okay, as long as you like it."
The New Year's gifts prepared by Xie Rongzhao for them did seem a bit thin.
Xie Rongzhao prepared several wooden swords for Zhao Yue. The hilts were carved very carefully and were wrapped with red sword tassels. He also prepared a few hand warmers for women, but they were relatively small. You could tell at a glance that they were For children.
"Uncle, take these back to your brothers and sisters at home to play with, and give these to your sisters and sisters. I made these hand warmers myself. There are rabbit fur in them. They are warm and velvet, and they are not cold at all."
Zhao Yue saw the things she prepared and had a guess in his mind, but he still wanted to ask one more question.
"Didn't you say you would give me gifts, my dear? Why are they all for my children?"
"Give these to them, they will definitely be happy, and they will also like uncle more. Then uncle should be happy!"
Zhao Yue was stunned. There is nothing wrong with this logic!
"Besides, I know uncle is not short of money, but I don't have that much money. This rabbit fur is made from rabbits caught in the mountains before and then tanned. My father and Fang Hu made it together. It's not worth it. , that is, a piece of our heart.”
Xie Xiuwen didn't say anything, but this girl took him into account.
"Well, uncle likes it very much."
Zhao Yue was not only thinking about the fact that his children had grown so big, but had he personally prepared anything for them?
When he thought that the children were afraid of him, he always gave up the idea of getting close to the children.
Now that I am stimulated by these little things, I really want to go back and see what the expressions of those little cubs will be when they receive the gifts.
Xie Rongzhao prepared a beautiful brocade sachet for Cao Xin.
"Uncle, there are some refreshing herbs in it. I asked the doctor about it. It's good for the body. I heard that the government offices are busy at the end of the year. Able can wear it during the day. If you have it when you go to the office, you won't have to worry about it. Feeling sleepy."
