21 Birthday
Xie Mansion has no Xie Wei time, Xie Zhi also went to Beijing to catch the exam, I'm afraid I won't come back for the New Year, Xie Zhi was busy in the county government, and the entire Xie Mansion left three people at once.
Xie Qiaoyu became more and more comfortable, he was a junior at home, he went to greet Mrs. Xie every day, and then went to chat with Daddy, without Xie Weixuan's cynicism, he secretly made him live a happy life.
"Qiao Yu, what do you want to eat on your birthday, I'll cook it for you." Feng Su's body was much better, but his appearance was still haggard, and he asked Xie Qiaoyu with a smile.
Xie Qiaoyu's birthday was on the second day of the first month of the New Year, which should have been a good day, but there were many people coming and going during the New Year in the Xie family, and Xie Qiaoyu was a concubine, and the house would not care about his birthday at all, and it would often be ignored. If the birthday is on other days, it's okay, the family is not so busy, but it is during the New Year.
"Just cook a bowl of longevity noodles like before." Xie Qiaoyu didn't care.
"You're sixteen." Feng Su sighed, he has a weak temperament, but Xie Qiaoyu's temperament is unexpectedly strong, so he will not be bullied. He wanted to hold a good event for Xie Qiaoyu's birthday, only their father and son.
After Xie Qiaoyu left, Feng Su asked the people close to him to go shopping.
Xie Qiaoyu was spoiled by Xie Yuan for a few years when he was a child, after all, he was cute when he was a child, and Xie Yuan also had feelings for Feng Su, which is like becoming a negative man now.
He had seen Xie Weixuan's birthday pomp, Xie Yuan held a birthday banquet for him, invited people with heads and faces in Ningjiang County, and many relatives of the clan also added gifts to Xie Weixuan, saying that it was fake not to be jealous.
In the future, when he becomes the husband in charge, he will definitely have a special event on his birthday.
Xie Qiaoyu regrouped, he brought back the account book on Zhuangzi, pondered it by himself, and went to Mrs. Xie's yard to ask Mama Liu for advice.
"The third young master's progress is very fast, but he still needs to learn more in this aspect of arithmetic." Mama Liu pointed out euphemistically.
"I'm not good at arithmetic." Xie Qiaoyu was a little distressed.
Old Madam Xie glanced at Xie Qiaoyu and gave him a book: "Go back and take a look." ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Xie Qiaoyu held the book, he still complained in his heart, he wanted to sleep when he saw these numbers, so he could only work hard.
"It's your birthday in a few days, and I can't get out of the house, this is for you." Old Madam Xie motioned to Mama Liu to give her birthday gift to Xie Qiaoyu.
Xie Qiaoyu: "I ......"
"Grandmother, you're so nice." Xie Qiaoyu's eyes were shining.
"Let's go down, how can I be the husband in charge after my arithmetic is so bad." Old Madam Xie said in disgust.
Mama Liu smiled and handed the box to Xie Qiaoyu, Xie Qiaoyu hugged the box and responded briskly, grandmother said that he was the husband, and grandmother also thought that he could be the husband.
This is probably the best affirmation he has had since he was sixteen.
Xie Qiaoyu left in a hurry, all he thought in his heart was that his grandmother liked him and his grandmother recognized him.
Back in the courtyard, Yao He also took back the rouge he sold: "Young master, rouge sold a lot of silver and sold it for twenty taels." ”
Yao He also wondered, the rouge was still the same as before, that is, the shell of the rouge on the outside had been changed.
"Great." Xie Qiaoyu put away the silver beautifully.
"Why does the young master sell so much?"
"Wan Mingji gave me a can of goat's milk, and Xiubai gave me a kettle, I think these are very good-looking, most of the people who buy rouge like beautiful and delicate things, I make the rouge box more delicate, and it is pleasing to the eye in my hand, they are naturally willing to spend this money."
Xie Qiaoyu held the birthday gift given by Mrs. Xie and planned to open it on her birthday.
*
Wan Mingji thought of what Xie Zhi unconsciously told him in the room, when they were talking about their age, Wan Mingji was only eighteen years old and was the youngest of them.
Xie Zhi talked about Xie Qiaoyu being the youngest in their family, and his birthday seemed to be just around these days.
He put his hands behind his head, thinking about how to give Xie Qiaoyu a gift.
Whether it's a brother's birthday or something else, he always has to give a gift. Xie Qiaoyu is the son of the county Cheng, it should be nothing bad, what can he send?
The head of a science student hurts, and it seems that he has no brain.
Wan Mingji has been a little absent-minded these days, he has asked Wan Xiuyue and Wan Xiubai, and their answers are not satisfactory to him.
Early the next morning, Wan Mingji said to Li Yun: "Mother, I have some things to do when I go back to the county, and I will come back when I finish it." ”
"Come back early and buy some New Year's goods by the way." This is the first year that the Wan family has spent in Linshui Village, and Li Yun still hopes to do it beautifully and neatly.
You can't eat meat and vegetables at home, but you can always drink bone broth, buy some melons and fruits, buy leaf cards, and play cards at night, and live a harmonious and beautiful life.
During the Chinese New Year, melon and fruit dim sum shops sold the most popular, and there were many people selling firecrackers and fireworks.
He paid cleanly and brought the fireworks to Clearwater Lane.
Then the fireworks were removed.
Fireworks generally have two layers, one is the outer cylinder, and the other is the inner cylinder is used to detonate. The outer cylinder sends the inner cylinder into the sky and detonates the inner cylinder in the air. There will be light beads inside the fireworks, and the different arrangements of the light beads can change into different shapes, among which the shape of the cherry blossom is the most common.
The different colors of fireworks are different chemical elements, copper is blue, lead is red, sodium is yellow, etc., small flashes in fireworks need iron powder and phosphorus powder to do.
These were still found in ancient times, and Wan Mingji came to the county a few days in advance to do these well. It's easy to blow up fireworks into flowers, but it's a bit difficult to blow them up into words.
He needs to calculate the angle at which the fireworks are launched, the height, and the distance of the light beads from each other.
Wan Mingji took out his scratch paper and began to arrange and calculate, and dense formulas and numbers immediately appeared on the scratch paper.
The dismantled fireworks lay desolate on the ground.

Xie Fu
The second day of the first lunar month is the day when relatives come and go frequently, Mrs. Xie talks to Mrs. Xie and her husband, Xie Yuan takes people to talk together, and Xie Weixuan also returns to Xie Mansion to accompany Mrs. Xie.
"Quick! It's time for this dish! ”
"The teapot here is out of tea, you go and change the pot!"
"Liu Gongzi's clothes are stained with tea, take Liu Gongzi to change his clothes!"
The people in Xie Mansion were busy, everyone didn't dare to relax their minds, and the people who came to the mansion were all guests and relatives of the master, which was not sloppy.
"Xie Zhi didn't spend the New Year at home, it's a pity." Someone at the banquet sighed.
Mrs. Xie held the kind face of the Bodhisattva: "He is not good at learning, he must do his studies well, and the New Year is secondary." ”
Xie Weixuan saw that there was no Xie Qiaoyu at the banquet, and he immediately had a plan in his heart, it should be that both father and son were celebrating the New Year in the courtyard.
Such a New Year's reception banquet guest, the concubine and the concubine room did not have much effect, and the corners of Xie Weixuan's mouth curled.
Livable Courtyard
Feng Su made a table of good dishes and put longevity noodles in Xie Qiaoyu's place.
Xie Qiaoyu lowered his head and ate longevity noodles.
"This is the clothes that Daddy made for you, and the jewelry he bought." Feng Su asked Xie Qiaoyu to put on new clothes and put on a hairpin, Xie Qiaoyu turned around, and Feng Su had tears in his eyes.
"Okay, good, Qiao Yu is just good-looking."
"Thank you, Daddy, you also eat vegetables." Xie Qiaoyu smiled and gave Feng Su a dish.
Yao He also gave Xie Qiaoyu a purse made by himself, and Xie Qiaoyu smiled: "This trick is rare, thank you." ”
Yao He blushed.
The young master is so good-looking when he is serious.
The courtyard outside Xie's Mansion was lively and lively, and the livable courtyard became more and more deserted, and Yao He was indignant for Xie Qiaoyu. The young master is also the master's child, isn't it, his birthday is like this, and the master will never send someone to take a look, it's really eccentric.
Yao He stood outside depressedly, giving Feng Su and Xie Qiaoyu a place to be alone.
It was getting late, and someone was setting off fireworks outside.
Yao He looked up.
Suddenly, a sharp sound sounded "bang", soared into the sky, exploded in the sky, spread everywhere, it actually had five layers of fireworks, or different colors, red, yellow, blue, green.
Yao He was stunned and muttered, "Oh my God." ”
"Young Master, come out and watch the fireworks! Lots of colors, five layers! Yao He shouted excitedly.
Only this one firework in the sky of the entire Ningjiang County emitted five colors, shining beautifully, and all the fireworks in the sky dimmed in front of it.
It's like the moon is the brightest, and the fireworks around it are all stars, all of which are embellished by it.
Xie Qiaoyu and Feng Su walked out.
The fireworks in the sky are still playing, and they are in different shapes, not only the ordinary shapes they put off, but also the shape of peach blossoms, the shape of ginkgo leaves, the shape of fans, and all kinds of flowers.
Xie Qiaoyu's eyes reflected the shape of fireworks, and his eyes were shining: "It's so beautiful." ”
Being able to see such fireworks on your birthday can be regarded as a blessing to others.
The people in the Xie Mansion compound were also so shocked that they stood outside to watch the fireworks.
"It's a big deal, I've never seen a five-story fireworks, and there are so many shapes."
"I don't know who is setting off the fireworks, it's so beautiful, I'm afraid the whole Ningjiang County is watching the fireworks."
"How do I feel that this firework is very close to Xie Mansion?" Someone said.
The whole Ningjiang County was indeed alarmed, and some scholars who were eating and drinking also wrote poems about the fireworks, and the people on the street looked up at the fireworks and exclaimed.
Xie Qiaoyu had seen enough of the fireworks and was about to go back.
A "bang" sound resounded in the sky.
Everyone watched the fireworks in the sky and lined up in words.
That's a "thank you" word.
"This firework is still ...... Can you still blow up the words?!!! ”
The fireworks continue to be fired, another word.
