Xue flipped through Ying Xiaozheng's cuffs and said: "After a few rough sewings, I can barely wear it, so I can deal with it for a few days." I have asked someone to find a rich and noble family with children, and buy some old clothes worn by their children. I've heard other women say that children have to wear old clothes to grow well. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Don't look for it, I have already told Lin Li that he will help us find some, and we will give him the money." ”

Xue hesitated: "Will Mr. Lin not take our money?" It's not good not to collect money. ”

After serving the nephew of the First Emperor, Zhu Xiang took a dry cloth and wrapped his hair to avoid catching a cold: "He definitely doesn't take money, but I gave him something that he couldn't refuse." ”

Zhu Xiang winked at the snow and sold Guanzi.

Xue asked very cooperatively, "What is it?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "The recipe for winemaking." ”

Xue was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "The lover can still make wine?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Hmm." It's just that grain and fruits are very expensive, and I don't like wine myself, so I didn't think about making wine. ”

In ancient times, a recipe could be used as an heirloom, such as brewing and stuffing sauce, and other recipes were basically controlled by large households, and if you want to find out, it will cause bloody conflicts.

The Lin family started at the end of the microstreak, although Lin Xiangru was worshiped as the secretary, the background is not thick, and the family resources are naturally not as rich as other generations of nobles. Zhu Xiang's recipe for brewing rice wine can be passed down to the Lin family.

Zhu Xiang is just a guest, not a slave, he is a friend of Lin Zhen, and the Lin family will not rob him of his achievements. But Zhu Xiang knew that he was guilty, even if he was backed by the Lin family, he rarely took out these things that would attract attention, and even used ordinary steaming and barbecue for cooking, without making complicated diets. Occasionally, he cooked the tooth sacrifice himself, and he Xue secretly enjoyed it behind closed doors, and even the servants didn't know about it.

Zhu Xiang now took the risk of giving Lin Zhen a brewing recipe, the value of which was enough to cover the clothes of Ying Xiaozheng for several years.

Lin Zhen couldn't refuse the wine-making recipe given by Zhu Xiang, his whole family was addicted to alcohol, and when he received the recipe, he looked at Zhu Xiang with a very resentful look.

Zhu Xiang said sorry in his heart, and continued to pretend to be stupid and turn a blind eye.

He already owes the Lin family a lot, and he can't take the Lin family's things for nothing.

Zhu Xiang always has an excuse to rationalize the source of his knowledge, but Xue grew up with Zhu Xiang and naturally knows that those are all fake. I'm afraid there is something strange about my beloved.

Xue knew that although his lover was smarter than the children next to him when he was a child, he liked to pester the merchants in the village to learn words, and occasionally some whimsy helped the family a lot, and he also took the name "Zhu Xiang", but the beloved's behavior did not exceed his age too much.

It wasn't until she encountered the catastrophe of her family being ruined and abandoned by her eldest sister that her lover suddenly became extremely mature and reliable, and her skills became bigger and bigger as if they appeared out of thin air.

Xue heard from the people in the village that many people have great enlightenment after the catastrophe, and some people may have been rescued by invisible gods and blessed by gods.

Xue thought that his lover might really have a fairy to teach.

But she didn't care about it, never looked into it, and wasn't afraid. It is enough for a good person to live.

Seeing that Zhu Xiang had already solved the matter, Xue no longer bothered about it, and said, "Then I'll tell them that there's no need to look for it." However, you still have to make your own shoes, and other people's old shoes don't fit. Love, you've been wearing straw sandals lately, and I'll cut the soles of your shoes for Zheng'er first. ”

Zhu Xiang pretended to have a shocked expression: "Xue, as soon as Zheng'er arrived at our house, did my status drop so much?" ”

"Huh?!" Trying to understand the words of his uncle and aunt, he intuitively felt that there was a lot of information hidden in these words, but Ying Xiaozheng, who couldn't figure it out at the moment, looked up blankly.

Xue puff sneered and cooperated with Zhu Xiang's joke: "Yes, yes, your status has declined." I made you a good pair of shoes, and you wore them out in a few days, so you might as well wear your straw sandals. In the winter, I'll make you a pair of sturdy shoes with good leather. ”

Zhu Xiang put his hands under Ying Xiaozheng's armpits, and lifted Ying Xiaozheng in front of Xue: "Zheng'er, uncle, I am so pitiful. ”

Ying Xiaozheng fluttered his little short legs twice, his little head was crooked, and his brain was completely down.

What are my aunts and uncles doing? I don't understand it at all.

Xue sneered again, stretched out her hand and took the initiative to hold Ying Xiaozheng into her arms: "Zheng'er, I took it away, you continue to make trouble, ignore you." ”

After speaking, Xue hugged Ying Xiaozheng and turned to leave, leaving Zhu Xiang and the quilt sheets that Ying Xiaozheng had urinated on.

Zhu Xiang looked down at the quilt sheets soaked in the urine of the First Emperor's boy, and obediently squatted on the ground and rubbed them.

While rubbing, he thought wildly, I heard that people nowadays are superstitious that children's urine cures all diseases. The first emperor's cub's boy urine should work better, right? If you take it out and sell it......

Well, no one else knows that his cub will be the first emperor in the future, unless he keeps his son's boy urine for twenty or thirty years and turns it into old urine.

Zhu Xiang was amused by his crankiness, and continued to rub the sheets while laughing "hahaha".

Xue hugged Ying Xiaozheng and was standing outside the ventilated window of the bathroom watching. She waited for Zhu Xiang to call her back, and she went to wash the quilt and sheets.

Who knows, the lover washed the quilt and bed sheets himself.

Xue stood at the window in a dilemma, not wanting her lover to work more, but also embarrassed to go in and tell her lover that she was joking.

"Uncle, why is my uncle laughing?" Ying Xiaozheng stayed in Xue's arms and asked curiously.

Xue touched the top of Ying Xiaozheng's bare head, sighed in her heart, and walked to the room with Ying Xiaozheng in her arms: "Who knows?" He often thinks crankily while doing things. Maybe you thought of something funny and laughed out loud, right? ”

The sheets and quilts have been washed by a loved one, so I'll make a hat for Zheng'er. A child's head doesn't blow much wind. Xue pondered the small talk of those women with children, and heard that children only grow strong with tiger hats, so she decided to make a tiger hat for Ying Xiaozheng.

Ying Xiaozheng thought that since her aunt didn't like her, she should quickly put herself down and go by herself. Unexpectedly, my aunt carried herself directly into the room, put herself on her lap, and wanted to measure her head to make a hat.

Ying Xiaozheng's neck shrank, and his fingers and toes also shrank.

His mother hadn't hugged him for a long time, and the other young servants in the family didn't want to come near him, except for the old slave who had abandoned him at his uncle's door that day.

Ying Xiaozheng is not used to being treated gently by people like her mother, so she is so nervous that her mouth is tight.

"You're afraid of me?" Xue saw Ying Xiaozheng's nervousness, and wondered, "You are not afraid of your lover, but you are afraid of me, why?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng hurriedly shook his head, his voice trembling: "Don't be afraid!" ”

Xue thought about it, didn't ask Ying Xiaozheng why she was nervous, and made a hat by herself.

She has never liked to get to the bottom of it, she just does what she has at hand.

After Xue measured the size of Ying Xiaozheng's head, she put Ying Xiaozheng on the bed, and stuffed a wooden puppy that Zhu Xiang carved and played with when he was bored, and let him play by himself.

She chose some bright satin given by the Lin family and sewed a hat for Ying Xiaozheng.

The Lin family is very good to Zhu Xiang, Zhu Xiang himself has been working hard for so many years to help the Lin family farm and save a lot of money, in fact, the family can afford to wear satin.

It's just that Zhu Xiang knows that his family is a common man, so he doesn't dare to be high-profile. Therefore, he and Xue only wear clothes made of fine linen on weekdays, which not only shows that there are people behind them who can afford to wear good clothes, but also not too ostentatious.

Occasionally, when the family gets a good satin gift from a friend, the snow will be saved to make the lining of winter clothes, which is not unassuming, but also warmer.

Snow had already started making winter clothes, and now there were bits and pieces of good satin fabric in the room. Now in her skillful hands, the cloth soon became a beautiful little hat, and it was only necessary to sew the stitches more tightly and add some decoration to the hat.

Ying Xiaozheng was holding a wooden puppy as big as his palm, very dazed.

Why did my aunt put a piece of wood in my hand? What should I do now?

Ying Xiaozheng has never had a toy since he can remember. So he didn't know what a toy was, and naturally he didn't understand what Snow was doing by stuffing a wooden puppy in his hand.

However, children are born to play with toys, even if Ying Xiaozheng is at a loss, he quickly puts the puppy on the bed and pushes it around, and does not accept the wisdom to dub the puppy "Wangwang".

After Zhu Xiang washed the quilt and sheets, when he went to Xunxue and Ying Xiaozheng for breakfast, he went to the room where his friend's gift was stored, and touched a piece of beast pattern green jade as a gift for Ying Xiaozheng.

This beast pattern green jade is a gift from Zhu Xiang's friends for many years before saying goodbye, saying that it is a talisman prepared by the family for children, and he himself caught a good thing when he caught Zhou, bless him to live in adversity until now, and now he gives this good luck to Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang suddenly remembered this incident when he was washing clothes, and felt that this jade jue was exactly the style worn by children of this age, with good luck and good luck, and he was going to give it to his nephew as a talisman.

When Zhu Xiang took the box containing Yu Jue and found Xue and Ying Xiaozheng, he happened to see this scene, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

See! There's a cub there, learning how to bark!

Chapter 6 Yellow Rice and Red Date Cake

Just made his nephew angry, Zhu Xiang held back this time and didn't laugh.

It is very normal for children to play with toys with dubbing, if this human cub called "Wangwang" is not the first emperor cub, Zhu Xiang will only think cute.

Of course, now he feels even more cute, twice as cute, and can't wait to pick up his cute nephew and kiss them.

Zhu Xiang actually did the same. He took Ying Xiaozheng, who was having fun playing with the wooden dog, into his arms, and pointed at Ying Xiaozheng's bare little brain, which was just a mouthful.

Ying Xiaozheng was so frightened that the puppies in his hands fell off.

What is Uncle doing here?!

"Give." When Ying Xiaozheng was stunned, Zhu Xiang immediately stuffed Yu Jue into Ying Xiaozheng's hands and diverted Ying Xiaozheng's attention.

Xue glanced at it and said, "The jade Jue that Xia Tong left you, aren't you very precious, don't you even touch Lin Junzi?" How did you give it to Zheng'er? Be careful, Zheng'er accidentally dropped Yujue. ”

Xia Tong is a down-and-out scholar who used to help at home, with a weak body and a gentle personality, and he has a good account. Zhu Xiang and Xue are both very close to Xia Tong.

Xia Tong had saved enough money and said that he was going to travel to other countries to find a way out, and the couple also deliberately exchanged their family money for a gold cake or two as a gift to Xia Tong.

In this era, most of the "gold" refers to brass. But because the state of Chu sits on gold mines, has a lot of money, and loves to use gold to give away, gold will also be circulated in the market. The gold cake that Zhu Xiang gave to Xia Tong is real gold.

If you talk about the value, one tael of gold is about 1,000 Zhao Guo coins. However, because it was mainly circulated among the nobility, there was no price among the people, and only the wealthy merchants would hide gold.

If Xia Tong suffers an accidental loss of luggage, no matter what country he is in, the golden cake can become the capital of his life.

Although Zhu Xiang has worked hard to save his family property over the years, one or two gold cakes are not something that can be taken out casually. It can be seen that Zhu Xiang and Xue have a good impression of Xia Tong.

Xia Tong reciprocated the peach and gave the personal jade to Zhu Xiang, saying that with the jade as a token, if he gained power, he would definitely come to find Zhu Xiang and be rich.

"Xia Tong rose in adversity, and Zheng'er is now in adversity waiting to rise. This piece of jade jue can give Xia Tong good luck, and it will definitely give Zheng'er good luck. Zhu Xiang said, "Besides, I don't know what talismans the nobles prepare for their children. Xia Tong used to have a good family background, and his family grabbed the things prepared for the weekly ceremony for the child, and there should be no mistakes in the etiquette system. ”

Xue Dao: "You think so much. I braided a red rope for Zheng'er and let him hang it around his neck. ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Wait a while." Let's go to breakfast first, I'm hungry. Zheng'er, is your little belly hungry too? ”

After Zhu Xiang finished speaking, he patted Ying Xiaozheng's soft little belly.

Ying Xiaozheng was grabbing Yu Jue and looking at it, feeling a little familiar. After listening to Zhu Xiang talk about breakfast, his stomach immediately gurgled very appropriately, and his face was suddenly flushed.

"I—I didn't." Ying Xiaozheng clutched his stomach.

"Let's go, Zheng'er, eat!" Zhu Xiang picked up Ying Xiaozheng and urged, "Xue, come quickly, otherwise Zheng'er and I will eat all the food and not leave it for you." ”

Xue put down the needlework in her hand, got up and said helplessly: "Love, why are you more naïve than a child?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng hid in Zhu Xiang's arms and secretly nodded in agreement.

He thought he was hiding well, but Zhu Xiang was condescending, how could he not see Ying Xiaozheng's little head performing chicken pecking rice.

Zhu Xiang lowered his head and rubbed the top of Ying Xiaozheng's head, and said proudly: "My beloved wife and young son are by my side, this is not naïve, it is happiness." ”

Xue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head with a red face, and said awkwardly: "Zheng'er give me a hug." ”

"Huh? Good. Although he didn't understand why Xue wanted to hug Zheng'er, Zhu Xiang still handed Ying Xiaozheng to Xue.

Xue, who had never raised a child, was not very skilled in holding the thin and young child into his arms, learning from Zhu Xiang, and gently rubbing Ying Xiaozheng's soft cheeks with his unpowdered face.

She looked down at the well-behaved child in her arms, and then looked up at the smiling lover with a smile on her face, and a smile appeared on her face: "Zheng'er is so light, you should eat more." Children look better when they are fatter. ”

"That's what I thought too." Zhu Xiang thought so. The round ancestral dragon cub is cute, and it will grow tall after pulling the strip, "Give it to me, I want to hug it for a while!" ”

"No." Xue quickened her pace, threw Zhu Xiang behind her, and lowered her head to rub the top of Ying Xiaozheng's bare head.
