070 Mid-Autumn Solstice in August
August golden autumn osmanthus fragrance, I don't know who is with the lonely light.
The fragrance of osmanthus wafted in the courtyard.
There is no osmanthus tree planted in the courtyard of the Xia family, but the house next door is full of osmanthus blossoms in the garden, not to mention the fragrance floating ten miles, three or four miles are still there, and the beginning of summer is to wake up in this faint fragrance of flowers every day.
Her body is already excellent, and it is probably really the internal force that affects her growth, but she has only been practicing martial arts for a few months, and she has suddenly grown a lot taller, and her original clothes are a little shorter, and Luo Ziqian has ordered someone to redo it for her twice.
The child's clothes are changed quickly, and if they can't wear them, they will be given grace to their servants, and they are not afraid of wasting. They are all good materials, whether they are cut and made into handkerchiefs, sold or worn for the children at home, it is always a happy thing to get something good for nothing.
Although it is worn, no one will dislike it, but the upper body once or twice, and the new one is no different, if you get some bright colors, it is not for nothing to disassemble the satin for your children to press the bottom of the box.
This month, I added a monthly money, it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I could also get some rice grain to go to, and the people in the house were happily preparing for the festival.
The old lady received the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts from her eldest grandson and youngest son who left home.
Xia Xuan went to the northern county seat, the cold climate is similar to the capital, but there are two specialties of red dates and melons are very famous, and they can be eaten at this time, so people sent a lot back.
It's just that although the melon is durable, but after all, the weather is hot, and a car of them is lost on the way back, and the rest is only enough for the masters of the family to share two tastes.
Hearing Xia Bangqiu staring at what cantaloupe was talking about, Xia Chu laughed, Ming'er's ice bowl may have a new trick.
Although Xia Bangqiu always called it ice cream, she still used to call it an ice bowl, and after calling it for so many years, she couldn't change it for a while, after all, there was ice in the bowl! Cut some melons and fruits and soak them, it is indeed a good taste, but it is cold, and if you eat too much, you are afraid of freezing and making your stomach upset.
Xia Qing is the second time to send a gift home, the first time is when he just arrived, he sent a box of Yu, but the ice on the road was finished, and the fish stinked. I also attached a letter, and at the beginning of the summer, I read the one from my second brother, saying how delicious the fish was, how delicious it was, but unfortunately it was not there after the season.
I haven't tasted it, but the yard has been smelling for most of the day, and the smell is unforgettable since the beginning of summer.
This time, I probably learned a lesson, and I didn't get some fresh crabs back, but sent a few Jiangyin specialties: horseshoe cakes, tow oven cakes, pink salt beans, and black Du wine, which were sent early before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they were not bad.
I don't know how the pastries and cakes are made, but they have been put away for many days, and there is not a trace of strange smell.
The first two things she didn't like to eat at the beginning of summer, she ate salty and fresh, and she was not interested in sweets, and the latter black Du wine didn't have her share, but the pink beans, she ate a lot by herself, and the angry Luo Ziqian didn't let her stay in the house.
What are pink salt beans? To put it bluntly, it is actually fried soybeans with salt, and it is not good to eat too much...... Do you have loose gas? The smell was not much better than the stinky fresh fish, and the smoked daughters-in-law and little girls avoided her when they saw the sky.
Xia Chuchu was very proud, and let you laugh at me for breaking a tooth last time I ate beans!
Xu is used to following the rules in his previous life, and he always wants to do something out of the ordinary in this life, but he has long been framed by the rules in his bones, and he can make a fuss when he is still young and doesn't need to pay too much attention to the image.
In addition to the Boxing Rites, Xia Qing also wrote letters to both children...... Last time, I was negligent, and I was accused by my beloved daughter of complaining that "I forgot the big one with the small one, and the father was too partial", I never dared to forget it, and I sent a small object written about the seven or eight-year-old little girl in Jiangyin who loved to play, and Xia Chu took it and looked at it twice, and let Caiyun put it away if he was not interested.
If this wasn't said to have been personally selected by her cheap father, she would have been able to take it directly to people for fun!
In addition to these, the in-laws and the good families in Beijing also sent their own gifts, mostly cakes and moon cakes for the occasion, which are not worth anything, but they are a friendship, and they have prepared a lot to send out.
Just like moon cakes, it is estimated that it is enough for the house to eat for two or three days.
At the beginning of summer, my favorite is the melons and fruits sent by my own family, the green-skinned watermelons are all bright and sweet. Fruit is no more greasy than pastries, and she is very fond of it.
Among them, the Dingguo General's family and the Liu family sent the most generous gifts, in addition to the standard Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, they also gave many 'thin gifts' to the young masters and girls in the Xia Mansion.
The Liu family gave her a gift at the beginning of the summer, but she didn't know why the Dingguo General's Mansion also valued her so much.
It's too much of a gift, but it's also hot, isn't it?
Luo Ziqian didn't care, just asked her to keep it. Zuo is just a seven-year-old child, what else can people do to her? At the beginning of summer, Daigo's empowerment was generally sudden, and she was still young! What do you bother to do? When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top of it!
Every festive season, the old saying is good, but the poor second room only has a newly married Xia Yi with his daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, wrapped in a group of people in the big room, but it looks extremely lonely.
After fifteen, the next door sent a lot of fresh osmanthus flowers, Luo Ziqian left some to make cakes, and the rest were scattered to the two rooms for themselves.
At the beginning of the summer, she also got some, and she didn't like to eat that snack, so she ordered someone to dry it and make a few purses. Xia Bangqiu sent someone to beg, saying that he wanted to try to make osmanthus brew by himself, so he gave her the rest, and said that he would give her some after he finished it.
This second cousin, who has a somewhat magical background, doesn't know where she came from, and there are always some novel ideas in her head. The temperament is also peculiar, always thinking that one is one out, and seeing, this temperament is just afraid that it can't be screwed.
Luo Ziqian rarely cares about her, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, it's nothing to raise an idler. With her background, she can't marry that big family, so she doesn't have to worry about causing trouble for her family.
She can see that the kid is making a fuss, but he doesn't have any right ideas, it's all crooked ideas and careful thinking, but it's not in the way.
On the first day of September, the cousin of the Wu family was married, and Luo Ziqian took the whole family to go, after all, it was the in-laws, and face still had to be given. At the beginning of the summer, after eating crabs at the banquet, he begged for two sips of realgar wine to drink, but he was not drunk but had a rash.
"It's an alcohol allergy, right?" Xia Wanqiu looked at Xia Chu with pity.
I don't know what an alcohol allergy is at the beginning of summer, but I can guess a few points if I listen to the literal meaning. The old doctor who invited her said that she couldn't drink alcohol, and although cooking wine cooked in the dish was fine, drunken crabs and shrimp were not allowed to eat.
Not to mention drinking.
The beginning of summer is absolutely falling.
In her last life, she was a heroine in wine, and she loved all kinds of wine, although she never drank too much for the sake of etiquette, so she didn't know how much she drank, but she was never drunk.
She just took such a sip, but in this life, she couldn't get a drop of wine!
