Relatives

In this case, it is indeed difficult to delay any longer.

Yu Youyao quickly took the gift prepared by herself from Chunxiao and presented it respectfully: "I made a forehead wipe for my grandmother..."

In the long and narrow box, there is a Shu embroidered forehead wiper with Ruyi pattern. In the middle of the forehead wiper, there is a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg, which is as deep and translucent as sea water.

Old lady Xie smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "Our little Yao'er is really good at embroidery work. When I looked at the Shu embroidery on it, it was a little different from what I usually see. The wishful patterns didn't look like they were embroidered, but seemed to be carved on it.

At first glance, the relief pattern on it seems to be moving."

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and chuckled: "Shu embroidery is bright and lifelike, vivid and three-dimensional. It uses cross stitches, spiral stitches, and virtual and solid covering stitches. The stitching method is very special. It was taught to me by a good friend."

Tang Yunxi was good at embroidery and was very interested in double-sided embroidery, so she taught some.

Tang Yunxi didn't want to take advantage of her, so she wanted to teach her Shu embroidery.

Yu Youyao, who had just been freed from double-sided embroidery, expressed that she had no desire to learn it at all, but in order to let Tang Yunxi learn double-sided embroidery without any psychological burden, she had no choice but to learn it.

But it made Aunt Xu laugh so hard.

Wang also leaned over to take a look: "Look at the sapphire above. Such pure and flawless sapphires are rare in the Zhou Dynasty..."

The two of them came together and praised their foreheads so much that they were in heaven and on earth.

This scene reminded Yu Youyao of the first time her grandmother received the "ten thousand" pattern embroidered by her own hands and embroidered it on both sides to wipe her forehead, and she felt a little sad.

Mr. Xie said with a sour heart: "I have to go to the old man's house later. You can calm down for a while. It's not the first time I've received a gift from Xiaoyao'er."

Old lady Xie rolled her eyes at him and grinned happily.

Yu Youyao glanced at it and felt sad: "The gems above were brought back from Youzhou by my cousin. There are many more of various colors in my house. If my grandmother and aunt like them, I will order some to be sent over later."

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Wang were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the "cousin" Yu Youyao mentioned was "Zhou Linghuai" who sent her to Quanzhou.

Old lady Xie smiled: "This is a rare thing."

Yu Youyao took a forehead wipe and helped old lady Xie put it on. Old lady Xie's face turned into chrysanthemum patterns when she smiled.

Mrs. Wang also smiled and praised: "The indigo color is versatile, and the embroidery on the forehead is also beautiful. It is suitable no matter how you wear it. It is also suitable to wear a forehead robe in this weather. Our little girl is really thoughtful."

Yu Youyao hurried again and took the shoes given to her grandfather: "There is a maid in front of me. She has the shoe-making skills passed down from her ancestors. She has a thousand-layer sole. They are not only breathable and soft, but also moisture-absorbent and sweat-wicking. I heard that Quanzhou is close to the sea and has a good climate.

It was relatively wet, so I made my grandfather a pair of cotton shoes with the soles on them. I usually wear them at home and feel more comfortable on my feet."

The black upper has no texture at all, but the workmanship is very dense. A thin layer of beef tendon is also specially added to the thousand-layer sole.

Yu Youyao squatted on the ground and wanted to help him try on the shoes: "Grandpa, please try to see if they fit."

"I will do it myself, I will do it myself." Mr. Xie was not willing to let his granddaughter put on his shoes, so he quickly took off his shoes and put the cotton shoes made by his grandson on his feet.

He usually wears cotton shoes at home.

Once you put on the shoes, you can tell the difference. Mr. Xie stood up and took a few steps, and immediately said: "These shoes are good, better than what I wore before..."

Now it's his turn, and Mr. Xie is in trouble.

Yu Youyao also took another pair of shoes and a very exquisite double-sided fan with peonies embroidered on it, which she prepared for her uncle and aunt.

Mrs. Wang herself has no daughters and has never enjoyed this kind of filial piety in needlework. She was so happy that she couldn't even smile from ear to ear while holding the round fan.

The two sides of the double-sided peony are different. One side is pink and white, which is elegant and refined, and the other side is purple and red, which is magnificent.

Erqiao is a large double-petaled flower. At first glance, it just looks beautiful.

Mrs. Wang was very happy: "Xiao Yao'er is so thoughtful. Being a female celebrity is too labor-intensive. I should do less in the future..."

As a result, the family messed around a lot, talked a lot, and wasted a lot of time before they went to the main house together.

As Mrs. Xie walked away, she held her hand and said lovingly: "I will take you there first to recognize the person. After you have done so, come back and have a rest. Since you are filial, there will be no reception banquet. In the evening, the whole family will

Let's have dinner together so we can get to know each other better." At this point, she changed the subject: "Your second aunt is a cheerful person, and your third aunt is gentle and gentle, and they are both very easy to get along with..."

The old lady talked a lot.

When we arrived at the main courtyard, our second uncle and third uncle's family were already waiting in the hall.

Grandpa Xie sat on the main seat, and Yu Youyao kowtowed to her great-grandfather respectfully and presented her with cotton shoes made by herself.

I made two pairs in total.

One pair is azurite, one pair is indigo.

Mr. Xie tried on the shoes on the spot and couldn't bear to take them off: "Although a pair of shoes looks simple, making a pair that not only fits your feet, but also is comfortable and wear-resistant is not easy at all. The clothes are too big and too small."

, I can still make do with it, the shoes can’t be an inch too big, but they can also be an inch smaller.”

The only thing ordinary people have at home is shoes, which they never buy.

Whenever there was any leftover cloth at home, it was first tightened to make shoes.

After Mr. Xie finished speaking, he said: "A surname means nothing. Now that you have entered the Xie Mansion, you are a member of the Xie Mansion, and you should not see anyone outside the family in the future."

Yu Youyao's eyes were slightly red, and she quickly nodded in agreement.

The shoes prepared for the second uncle and the third uncle are also shoes, one pair for each person. Because they are made by themselves, they are all the same, and no one will feel that they are not doing their best.

The only things that the younger generation can give to their elders are shoes, socks, girdle, etc. However, Yu Youyao is a niece, and socks are personal items, so the wife and daughter should make them. Girdle is also very particular, and shoes are more suitable.

The ones given to the second aunt and the third aunt were also double-sided embroidered round fans.

Second aunt Lin likes camellia, so Yu Youyao gave her a double-sided camellia, a two-color agate, red and white, which is extremely elegant.

Third aunt Zheng loved plum blossoms, so Yu Youyao gave her a double-sided plum blossom, with one side of cinnabar and one side of green calyx, frosty and snowy.

Several of the cousins ​​were men, and Yu Youyao couldn't give him something too personal, so each of them gave them a hollow silver diffuser ball, which is a small and exquisite diffuser that can be carried anywhere.

You can put spices and incense pills inside. After burning, the smoke will float out from the hollow holes, and the aroma will be pleasant.

Aromatherapy balls are not uncommon.

What's rare is the fragrant pills inside. Because Quanzhou is near the sea and has a relatively humid climate, Yu Youyao made fragrant pills that can dispel dampness and warm yang. Wearing them for a long time can lighten the body and replenish qi, warm yang and benefit the spirit. It is very rare.
