Nowadays, there are many social events in the warm winter, and there are also many gifts exchanged.
After all, a lot of fruit was given away, and those adults had been involved in the officialdom for many years, so they still understood the human nature of reciprocity.
Therefore, some kind of gift should be returned afterwards.
In particular, Lord Supervisor Lin of Shanglinyuan, who got a bargain, sent a lot of saplings to Dongnuan. He sent people over to tell them that they were some failed products he had cultivated, and he hoped that the county boss could save their lives.
In fact, those saplings were so good that they looked like they were carefully selected.
Dong Nuan naturally knew that the other party was hiding his thoughts.
But it's not a big deal, I just want to help and serve better so that I can come over and visit afterwards for reference. Winter Nuan will understand.
Everyone gets along well, and Dongnuan doesn't mind these little details.
At first, Dong Nuan thought it was a return gift from some adult.
After all, as July enters, the fruit forest becomes more lively, there are more fruits, and there are a lot of things you want to eat.
Some people even inquired that the fruits sold in Cao's fruit shop came from their own orchard, and even came to see them.
Ordinary people can't enter Zhuangzi, and they don't dare to come, but there are some powerful people, relatives of the emperor, and so on, who are really embarrassed to come.
Even if they are not familiar with each other, when it comes to making friends, they are strangers once and become familiar twice.
They came to the door with gifts and their attitude was so polite that Dong Nuan wouldn't just beat the person out.
After finishing the work at hand, Dong Nuan walked out while shaking her fan.
Green Bamboo looked at it and took out a fan with a hint of discernment to help Dongnuan fan herself.
The gifts had already been carried to the banquet room, which contained three large boxes. It was warm in the winter, and the tip of my nose was warm. As soon as I walked out of the banquet room, I smelled the smell of meat.
To be more precise, it tastes like jerky.
Dong Nuan had doubts about this gift.
In addition to three large boxes of gifts, there was also a letter.
Only after opening the letter did Dong Nuan understand who sent this gift.
Cao Xinyao.
Dong Nuan was thinking about giving her a gift, but the other party was faster than her.
From the looks of it, she still lost.
Cao Xinyao had written before, but she was a newlywed and the eldest daughter-in-law of the magistrate. She had a lot of social activities to do. After all, she had to start from scratch when she arrived in a new place and interacted with people.
Cao Xinyao was very busy and the journey was long, so she had written a letter to Dong Nuan before.
Now this is the second letter. The letter first complained about the dry and sandy weather in the northwest, and then complained about the weird temperament of the powerful people in the northwest.
There weren't many things to complain about, and the little girl wasn't a pessimistic person. She quickly persuaded herself and started talking about various specialties of Dingzhou.
The dried meat is mellow, the food is rich, and there are many foreign products, which are also very interesting.
The letter talked about a lot of homely things, but at the end she quietly added that she prepared a separate delicacy for Dong Nuan and put it at the bottom of the box for Dong Nuan to see for herself. She didn't even give it to Cao Mansion, but only gave it to Dong Nuan.
warm.
The details were not revealed, so Dong Nuan could not guess for a moment what kind of delicacies were so mysterious.
Because it involves some gifts that are not convenient for people to see, Dong Nuan opened the three boxes by himself.
There are many fresh little things from Fanbang in it, for daily play.
These winter-warm green bamboos were put away first, and then there were more than half a box of dried meat, meat cubes and the like.
Dong Nuan smelled it and saw that there was mutton, venison, and pork.
After that, there were dried fruits that are a specialty of Dingzhou. Looking at the dried wolfberries that were about the same size as dried apricots, Dong Nuan fell into silence.
Should it be said or not, some things must have regional characteristics and species characteristics.
However, Dong Nuan is not planning to go to Dingzhou for the time being.
As Cao Xinyao said, the climate is dry and the wind and sand are strong, so bamboo doesn't like it very much.
In addition to these daily necessities, there are also some fabrics, jewelry and the like.
The winter warmth is counted one by one, recorded in the green bamboo book, and then stored in the warehouse.
As for what Cao Xinyao said, the small gift she gave quietly came in a small box and was placed together with the dried meat. Dong Nuan sniffed it and guessed what kind of gift it was.
Beef jerky!
Indeed, it is indeed beef jerky.
Cattle are precious. Unless there are special circumstances or government approval, ordinary people will be punished for killing cattle.
So, Cao Xinyao was killed quietly?
But, it doesn't quite look like it.
But thinking about Dingzhou, which is adjacent to foreign countries, I guess the order is not that good. Of course, it may also be because there are some cattle with regional characteristics there. The cattle they kill are not necessarily farm cattle, but may be other varieties.
Beef cattle and the like.
After all, north of Dingzhou is the foreign grassland. There are many livestock there, and there may be some good-tasting beef cattle varieties.
Dong Nuan didn't ask any more questions, and Cao Xinyao didn't explain much either. She was probably afraid that she would be discovered and it would be difficult to explain, which would be too troublesome.
These beef jerky are too warm to share with others in winter, so I decided to eat them secretly by myself.
If it can be stored for a longer period of time, you can also save some for Hanjianglou to eat.
If his marriage to the Han family goes smoothly, it probably won't be long before he can come to the capital.
His Majesty promised her to get married to Hanjianglou before the end of the year.
It’s best to do it before autumn, when the season is right and it’s not too cold, so it’s quite convenient to hold a wedding.
Hanjianglou, who was talked about by Dong Nuan, said that the process of recognizing a relative was very smooth, but since it was said that the recognition was going to be done, various procedures needed to be followed, which was much more complicated than recognizing a biological relative.
Because it involves genealogy.
Before seeing Hanjiang Tower, Mr. Han was not too willing to create a family tree for a stranger, even though he was forced by the imperial power.
But after seeing Hanjiang Tower, he immediately stopped thinking about it.
I even regretted it, why didn’t the two of them meet before?
"This is my son, this must be my son!" On a whim, the ruffian nature developed in the army was also exposed.
Mr. Han was very happy, and the eldest girl of the Han family also admired Hanjiang Tower very much.
Mr. Han has a high prestige among the clan. Especially in the past few years since he returned home, he has brought many students with him, and his prestige in the entire Jiangzhou area is very good.
He said that Hanjianglou was his lost child, and no one raised any objection.
The clan members were previously worried about what would happen to him if he had no children.
I had discussed the idea of adoption with Mr. Han before, but it seemed that Mr. Han didn't care about it, and the clan members couldn't say much.
Now that the parents and children are back, everyone is quite happy.
Of course, the main thing is this child, who is also good enough.
He is a scholar, but he has not lost his martial arts skills. Mr. Han is simply as beautiful as heaven.
If it weren't for the many hidden injuries and illnesses on his body, and his body really didn't allow it, he would have wished to compete with Hanjiang Tower every day!
