When Ye Qing heard this, he said lightly: "If you want to recognize this relative, just discuss it with my father." โ
In the past, when her mother was here, they didn't come and go much, and there must be some difficulty in coming here, so they came here on purpose.
Although the purpose is a little impure, when Ning Yuxi was their sister-in-law before, she was also developed and had a good life.
At that time, these people didn't come to ask Ning Yuxi for any benefits.
Today, I will come to them, I guess it's really a bad time!
Whether you want to do this, or whether you want to help them, let Ye Wenshan call the shots.
She felt that she didn't need to interfere, after all, she didn't know them at all, and they weren't [Ye Leek Ya]'s uncles in the real sense.
It is enough that he does not stop Ye Wenshan from communicating with them, and let them come to Qian Mansion as guests.
Of course, if they ask too much, she can't stupidly agree to anything.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing stood up and said, "Dad, uncle, you are chatting." I'm sorry I still have something to do over there, so let's go first! โ
After speaking, Ye Qing took his leave.
When she walked away, Ning Desheng completely relaxed his back, which was a little taut before, and then began to speculate again.
This Ye Qing seems to be a little too cold to their arrival!
However, she didn't say anything against it.
It seems that the matter of borrowing money still has to start from Ye Wenshan.
It's just that for a while, he definitely can't say his purpose right away.
Otherwise, it is likely that the bamboo basket will be empty.
Ning Fugui didn't think about borrowing money, he just wanted to recognize his relatives first, and then let Ye Wenshan talk to his daughter and son-in-law and help them find something to do.
When Ye Qing returned to the courtyard where she and Qian Junbao lived, at this time, Rosin Xiang walked out of it with a basket of osmanthus flowers in her hand.
Seeing her, Rosin stood there and said with a smile: "Young lady, the osmanthus flowers in your yard are blooming well, and the kitchen steward Aunt Huang asked the slave maid to ask the young master and pick some for her, so that she can make osmanthus nectar."
In this way, you may still be able to use it during the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. โ
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Well, I just think the smell of osmanthus in this courtyard is too strong." Tomorrow, let's call two more people to pick together! โ
"Yes, the slave will go to the kitchen."
"Go ahead!" Ye Qing nodded, suddenly thought of something and called out to her, and said, "Wait, this Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, did the cook say that the moon cakes will be bought at that time, or will they be made by themselves in the house?" โ
Rosin Xiang didn't think about it and immediately answered: "I seem to have heard Aunt Huang and the housekeeper say that I will buy it as in previous years!" โ
She saw that Ye Qing was a little stunned, and then said: "Actually, when we Chongyang people come to the Mid-Autumn Festival, they all go to the street to buy moon cakes.
Few people make it at home, it is very troublesome, and it costs a lot of money, and generally the big guys like to go to the south street of the city to buy the five-kernel meat mooncakes of Daohua Fu Ji.
They make a lot of fatty meat, peanuts and sesame candy, and the price is affordable. โ
Ye Qing didn't make a sound when he heard this, thinking that in the past Mid-Autumn Festival, the Ye family's moon cakes were all made by [Ning Ruoxi].
The kind of five-kernel mooncakes made of big fat meat sold outside are fragrant, but Ning Ruoxi doesn't like to eat them.
Ye Qing felt that he wanted to lose weight and eat less.
She gently pinched the meat on her chin before she said to Rosin Xiang: "Oh, then you tell the cook, let's make our own mooncakes in the house this year!" โ
Rosin nodded, "Okay, the slave will pass the word to Aunt Huang!" โ

It is said that it is sunny and sunny, and it is a good season in the world. โโXu Youzhen "Mid-Autumn Moon, Mid-Autumn Moon"
In the blink of an eye, it was August 14, and early in the morning, Ye Qing took people to the market for big purchases.
Because she is going to make mooncakes herself today, she will be more satisfied with some of the ingredients she chooses by herself.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the market is bustling with activity, and the merchants on the street dress up their facades and nearby trees in silk and silk.
Many stalls are also full of various lantern stands and firecrackers, but the most are clay sculptures of rabbits.
The common "rabbit lord" is generally a samurai with golden helmets and golden armor.
Moreover, there is only one pheasant feather inserted in the helmet, and the small traders put the large and small rabbits from low to high into a rabbit mountain, ushering in people's attention and purchase.
At this time, the people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon worship is the main activity.
On the evening of August 15, a table of eight immortals is set up in the courtyard of every house facing southeast for mooncakes, edamame branches, cockscombs, lotus roots, grapefruits, and watermelons.
There is a piece of red felt laid in front of the table for people to worship, after the arrangement stops, I see the moon gradually rising from the southeast, and the women in the family (there is a saying that "men do not worship the moon, women do not sacrifice to the stove") according to the order of the eldest and youngest, one by one bows to the moon.
After the offering, the whole family sits, drinks and admires the moon, and shares melons, fruits, moon cakes and other offerings.
Therefore, the folk also call the Mid-Autumn Festival "reunion festival". The edamame branch on the table is specially prepared for the "rabbit master".
This custom is actually passed down from the capital, and I heard that every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon worship activities in the harem of the imperial palace are even more solemn and prosperous.
There is also a legend about the rabbit master: one year, there was a sudden plague in the capital, and almost every family had someone who got it, and it couldn't be cured.
When Chang'e saw this scene, she was very sad, so she sent the jade rabbit beside her to treat the people.
Jade Rabbit turned into a young girl, she went from house to house and cured many people.
In order to thank the Jade Rabbit, people sent things to her one after another; But Yutu didn't want anything, just borrowed clothes from others to wear, and changed his outfit everywhere he went.
Sometimes he dresses up like an oil seller, sometimes he looks like a fortune teller. One moment it was a man's outfit, the next it was a woman's outfit.
In order to treat more people, Yutu rode a horse, a deer, a lion, or a tiger, and traveled all over the capital.
After eliminating the plague in the capital, the Jade Rabbit returned to the Moon Palace.
So much so that in later generations, there are still many people who think that Yutu is a beautiful man, and affectionately call her "Rabbit Master".
Ye Qing followed the crowd and also bought more than a dozen rabbit masters, except for a large one to be enshrined, the rest were small dolls, ready to play with the first few children in the house.
Then she went to the grain shop and bought flour and sugar; There were also red beans, mung beans and lotus seeds, and finally I bought a lot of peanut oil.
Then she went to buy a lot of dried fruits and seasonal fruits, and then went to the carpenter's shop to buy a lot of molds for making mooncakes and a few large trays.
stopped and stopped all the way, and unconsciously walked to Ye Ying's pickled vegetable shop.
Thinking that the big guys were also a little hungry, Ye Qing took them into the braised vegetable shop.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the business of the braised vegetable shop is particularly prosperous today.
Because Ye Qing gave the villa a holiday in advance, Ye Wennan's family is working here today.
In this way, there are not enough manpower, Ye Ying asked Ye Qing in advance yesterday to ask two cooks to come over to help.
Fortunately, most of the people who came in the braised vegetable shop today bought it and took it away, and Ye Qing and his party came in, and they could still sit in the store.
It's just that no one has time to greet them.
Dongqu has been here a few times, but he doesn't recognize his life, so he ran to get a teapot and poured tea for Ye Qing.
It wasn't until Ye Qing sat for a while that Ye Mei came over and said with a smile: "Eighth cousin is here, are you here to take a look at the store today, or do you have something to come to us?" โ
Ye Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm here to eat." Serve us some lo-mei, and I want a duck gizzard and braised tofu.
If they say, just give them more meat. By the way, some mung bean soup, chilled. โ
Ye Mei nodded, "I'll bring it right away." โ
Waiting for Ye Mei to get busy, Ye Qing beckoned Dongqu to sit opposite him.
After Dongqu sat down, he dragged his cheeks and said to Ye Qing: "Miss, the business in this store is really good today!"
As soon as I saw a big pot of braised chicken out of the pot, I was robbed of half of it, and there were dozens of them! โ
