A few people went back quickly. The Guanghan cake had been dried, and now the temperature was 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 Yu Jijiu.
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, which 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, we 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 my mother and she will send someone to deliver them."
There are also pomegranates at Shanglin Yuanjian, but they are not as delicious as those sent from Huaizhou.
There is a better one, so Yan Xingxuan decided to let go of the one from Shanglinyuan 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 grab snacks from Xiao Nianzhi. He shook his head and said, "I want to save it for eating, but eat less. The imperial doctor said it is not good for the teeth."
When I say this, I’m talking about gifts.
As early as when Yan Xingxuan walked to the backyard, Laishun had already asked the guards to get one of the gifts.
Yan Xingxuan brought a lot of gifts to the mountain this time, including several 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 looked over, and he 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 I gave you before is very precious, and Xiao Nianzhi has been wearing it recently.
However, when working, she habitually takes off all the jewelry on her hands, but she is not wearing them now.
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 did not give her a chance. He took the box in his hand and put it directly into Xiao Nianzhi's arms: "Think about it, you have accepted all the gifts my second brother gave you."
This tone sounds inexplicably a little aggrieved.
Xiao Nianzhi was confused and thought: 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.
But Yan Xingxuan can’t.
Even though, she still 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 probably don't think of me as my brother. I..."<
/p>
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 gave up, 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 just now, Aunt Yu stood behind her like a transparent person.
When he turned around, 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, but Aunt Yu couldn't help but laugh in the end: "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 eyebrows and feeling the heavy gift in her arms, she finally realized what Aunt Yu meant by her words.
Do you feel it?
Of course I feel it.
She is not a piece of wood, I just couldn’t believe it before.
Now, when Aunt Jingyu says this, 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 nodded again after looking at it: "Don't feel any pressure 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 couldn't do the thing of forcible marriage and robbery even if he wanted to."
Xiao Nianzhi:.
It's fine if you don't say it, but why do you feel so panicked when you say it?
However, in such an era, it is obviously unrealistic not to get married.
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.
After the exam period, she is not too young in this era, and she will probably be forced to get married soon.
Therefore, you can really start to try and consider 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 anything 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 the meaning is good, gourds are 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 grate, 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.
What to reply to?
Xiao Nianzhi's eyes were on the ingredients in the delicious kitchen, scanning them back and forth several times, and he probably had an idea in his mind.
