A few people went back quickly. The Guanghan cake had been dried and the temperature was now suitable, just right for eating.
Xiao Nianzhi used oil paper to wrap one for Xiao Zhou and another for Xiao Siye.
Finally, after thinking about it, I packed another portion of the Yuji wine.
Because the quantity she made was not large, the number of pieces she wrapped was not large.
There are six small pieces in each pack and can be eaten as a snack, up to two times.
If this thing is stored for a long time, the texture and taste will be affected. In fact, it is good to eat it once or twice.
Anyway, there are so many sweet-scented osmanthus, I can just do it later.
Xiao Zhou carried three portions of Guanghan cake, said goodbye to Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan, and walked back.
Yan Xingxuan specially gave him the lantern he was holding before, which made Xiao Zhou a little flattered.
He thanked him repeatedly, which made Yan Xingxuan feel embarrassed.
His original intention was just to establish a good relationship with his uncle in advance.
After sending Xiao Zhou away, Yan Xingxuan was also ready to return.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell Xiao Nianzhi: "The pomegranates will arrive tomorrow. I told the queen mother and she will send someone to deliver them."
There are also pomegranates from Shanglin Yuanjian, but they are not as delicious as those sent from Huaizhou.
There was something better, so Yan Xingxuan decided to let go of the one from Shanglin Yuan Prison for the time being.
When Xiao Nianzhi heard that the fresh pomegranates were coming soon, he nodded quickly and looked at the sesame candy snacks in his hand to Yan Xing: "Brother, do you want some?"
Yan Xingxuan couldn't bear to fight for snacks with Xiao Nianzhi. He shook his head and said, "I want to save it, but eat less. The imperial doctor said it is not good for the teeth."
This is talking about gifts.
Laishun had already asked the guards to get one of the gifts when Yan Xingxuan walked to the backyard.
Yan Xingxuan brought a lot of gifts up the mountain this time, several in large and small boxes.
After Laishun thought about it, he asked the guard to fetch a small one.
Although the box is small, it contains all rare jewelry.
At this moment, Yan Xingxuan came over with a look, and hurriedly came forward with the box in both hands, and handed it to Xiao Nianzhi with a smile.
Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled. She raised her head and looked at Yan Xingxuan doubtfully: "This is..."
Yan Xingxuan smiled with a soft expression: "It's a gift for Xiang Xiang."
The coral bracelet given before was very precious, and Xiao Nianzhi has been wearing it recently.
However, when working, she habitually took off all the jewelry on her hands, but she didn't wear them on her hands at the moment.
I wasn't ready to return the favor before, but now I'm doing it again?
This made Xiao Nianzhi very embarrassed, and she instinctively wanted to raise her hand to refuse.
However, Yan Xingxuan didn't give her a chance. He took the box in his hand and put it directly into Xiao Nianzhi's arms: "Think about it, you accepted all the gifts my second brother gave you."
This tone sounded inexplicably a little aggrieved.
Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled and thought to himself: This box of yours looks more expensive than that pack of snacks, how can I have the nerve to accept it?
Moreover, she is still related to the Xiao family after all. Her previous method of making ice and compressing biscuits has benefited her, and Xiao Siye has also benefited to some extent.
To put it bluntly, their surname is Xiao, and their honor and disgrace have been tied together from the beginning.
She can freely ask for things from Xiao Zhou without having to think about returning gifts all the time.
However, Yan Xingxuan can't.
Even if she calls him brother.
Seeing Xiao Nianzhi pursed his lips, embarrassed to accept it, Yan Xingxuan sighed softly, and his voice became hoarse unconsciously: "I know, my surname is not Xiao, and when I think about it, I may not regard me as my brother. I..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nianzhi's scalp began to feel numb. She took a deep breath and nodded: "Thank you very much, brother."
She was afraid that if she didn't accept it, Yan Xingxuan still didn't know what shocking words he was going to say.
Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi finally accepted it, Yan Xingxuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "Think about it, go back and rest quickly, let's eat pomegranates tomorrow."
After hearing this, Xiao Nianzhi nodded, but still watched Yan Xingxuan and the others go away, and then turned around.
Then I discovered a problem...
The whole time Yan Xingxuan was giving gifts, Aunt Yu stood behind her like a transparent person.
Turning around now, the master and apprentice looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward for some reason.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't even know what to say. In the end, Aunt Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Think about it, do you feel it?"
What do you feel?
Xiao Nianzhi didn't react at first, but after meeting Aunt Yu's smiling eyes and feeling the heavy gift in her arms, she finally realized what Aunt Yu meant by her words.
Feel it?
Of course I felt it.
She is not stupid, she just couldn't believe it before.
Now, what Aunt Jing Yu said, does it mean that maybe Yan Xingxuan's show of kindness is not just a preference for a younger sister?
Xiao Nianzhi nodded obediently, and Aunt Yu looked at it and nodded again: "Don't feel pressured when you think about it. Just get along normally. If you feel it feels right, you can consider it. If you don't feel it, don't be afraid to refuse."
Speaking of this, Aunt Yu thought for a while and then spoke again quickly: "The King of Wei has a good temper and good temperament. After being rejected, he would not be able to do the thing of forcible marriage and robbery."
Xiao Nianzhi:.
It's fine if I don't say it, but why do I panic when I say it?
However, in such an era, it is obviously unrealistic not to marry.
It would be okay if she was alone, but now that she is tied to Xiao Siye's family, the rumors will inevitably affect Xiao Siye and his son.
Now that she has the excuse of filial piety, she can still refuse.
She is out of her filial piety period, and she is not too young for this era, so she will probably be forced to get married soon.
Therefore, you can really start to try and think about many things now.
After thinking about it, Xiao Nianzhi nodded solemnly.
Aunt Yu knew that she was a person with ideas, so she didn't say more.
The master and the apprentice ate Guanghan cake. Since glutinous rice is the main ingredient and difficult to digest, they didn't eat much. They tasted it and then went to wash up and go to bed.
After Xiao Nianzhi returned, he first took a look at the gift from Yan Xingxuan.
When I opened it, I was almost blinded by the box full of jewels.
Suet-fat jade, jasper, purple jade, agate... all kinds of earrings account for most of them.
Most of them are in the shape of gourds, because they have a good meaning, and gourds mean good fortune.
There are also a small part of water drops, safety buckles, and various patterns.
In addition to the earrings, there are also some flower beads, a comb, and a few plain hairpins.
Xiao Nianzhi made some simple calculations in his mind. With just this box, he wanted to buy a small courtyard for a family of three to live in the capital easily, and he could also buy dozens of acres of land.
This gift is too expensive.
Xiao Nianzhi's heart sank. For the time being, he didn't think about the deep meaning beyond the gift, but thought about returning the gift.
Reply to what?
Xiao Nianzhi's eyes were on the ingredients in the delicious kitchen, scanning back and forth several times, and he probably had an idea in his mind.
