At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Xie Yunhua and Xu Yinqiu looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Seeing Xie Yuheng's forehead full of questions, she only left for a short while.

When did the relationship between these two become so good? Eye contact is perfected.

"Why didn't I drink it? They all taste the same."

Xie Xiu looked at the tea cup as if she wanted to see it as a flower. He quickly put it behind him and threw the issue that the sisters were discussing just now to the head of the family.

Xie Yuheng put his hands on the back of the chair. In her name, her mother gave a total of nearly 20,000 cotton-padded clothes.

Little girls like them would never be able to produce such a masterpiece, and it would take time to make it purely by hand.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuheng looked sideways at Xie Zhiyi and asked, "How much is the current amount of Aconite?"

Xie Zhiyi held the empty cup in his hand and said without thinking: "Aconite is cheap this year, only about three or four cents a piece."

Aconite is an accessory of Aconitum.

Aconitum is highly poisonous and can be found in both cultivated and wild plants. It has small purple flowers and is also known as the 'femme fatale'. It is often used to paint arrowheads in contact.

Maybe Chu Heng had already planned it. In recent years, the method of making soil-based pesticides from Aconitum has been widely publicized, and there are quite a few farmers growing Aconitum.

As soon as the recruitment notice was posted, all the aconite grown by farmers this year was collected by the court at a price slightly lower than the market price.

As a widely cultivated accessory of Aconitum, the price of Aconite is not that high.

"Could the master of the house want to make chilblain ointment?"

Xie Zhiyi's mind was spinning very fast, and he opened his mouth to read the medical books that he had already memorized by heart:

"Take two pieces of aconite and two ounces of ginger, pound them into powder and put them into cotton like stockings. If there is a sore on the waist, apply it with twelfth month single fat."

"Aconite powder can be taken internally or applied externally. It is a simple and cheap medicine for ordinary people."

Xie Zhiyi stood up, clapped his hands together, and his eyes were strangely bright. "What do you mean, the head of the family, to give medicine as a gift?"

Xu Lu was quietly paying attention to her, and the corner of his eye was as bright as a candle. Sister Xie is so awesome!

"Exactly."

"As the saying goes: At the end of the winter solstice, the weather will be cold and the ground will freeze to death. This year's winter solstice is at the end of the month, and it is already freezing season in Jingzhou, and the north will only get colder."

Xie Yuheng thought for a while and added:

"It's just that after this batch of Aconite Powder is sent to the north, it is also necessary to promptly transfer Aconite from other states to avoid expensive medication for local people."

"It doesn't matter. The Xu family will pay for this! Anyone who goes to Xinglin Pavilion to see frostbite this year will be reimbursed by the Xu family."

Xu Yinqiu boldly put the tea cup on the small table, spending a lot of money just for the beauty of the beauty.

Xie Yuheng: "..." Could it be that this girl really plans to marry into the Xie family?

She is helpless.

Xie Yuheng silently took the round hat chair and moved it a little closer to Xu Lu.

He secretly poked Xu Lu's forearm holding the fire, and whispered: "Is it really okay for your sister to be like this?"

Xu Lu carefully clamped the charcoal and put it into the stove. Shaking his head, he said: "Yinqiu has many shops in his own hands, so it doesn't matter."

A chicken talks to a duck!

Xie Yuheng brought freshly brewed tea and listened to the girls discussing the matter of 'Aconite Powder' energetically.

That day Liu Sijie asked her why she didn't live in the city.

It is true that she is annoyed that the morning bells in the city disturb people's dreams, and it is also true that she covets the wild charm of the farmhouse.

A person's life is like water pouring down onto the flat ground, flowing east, west, north and south.

Come to think of it, this is the situation. Going north one day, it will be difficult to see him again.

The kingfisher on the mossy branch outside the window seemed to be disturbed by the fun indoors, fluttering its wings and flying away from the branch.

Beyond the white walls, black tiles, green bricks and red pillars, beyond the three friends of pines, bamboos and plums, there are leafless weeping willows standing at the head of the stream beside the village.

The children were playing and playing, some were pretending to be generals with wooden swords, some were turning flower ropes, and some were being chased by the goose that was guarding the yard next door and running around the streets.

Some villagers squatted by the stream, scrubbing the black donkey skin. The little girl who was chased by the goose took out a handkerchief from her little pocket and wiped her nose.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he had the same tiger smell as Xie Hu: "Grandma Wang, what are you doing? This leather won't be wearable after washing."

Wang Po looked back and said, "It's Miss Nian." She quickly stood up and coaxed the little kid to play aside.

It's freezing cold. If you fall into the water, you'll really suffer.

There was also a knowledgeable villager passing by, and he knew at a glance what Wang Po was planning to do. She was planning to make donkey-hide gelatin for the Marquis of Jiangling.

If you think about it carefully, this year may be the last time that Marquis Jiangling celebrates his birthday in the village.

If you become a high official in the future, you will never come back. If you come back, you will probably just pay homage to your ancestors.

Therefore, each family secretly prepared birthday gifts, and they all wanted to do their best to present the best gifts to Fairy Xie.

......

The next day, the winter solstice.

The Xie family members all got up early and followed Xie Yuheng to worship their ancestors. Then they went home to have breakfast.

"Drink soup with dumplings during the winter solstice, so you won't be afraid of frostbite." Rong Shi placed a bowl of dumplings at the right temperature in front of Xie Yuheng.

The blue and white lotus-shaped bowl contains a crescent moon with beautiful pleats.

Xie Yuheng just smiled, tapped his chopsticks on the table, raised his eyes and asked, "What happened to the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall that you agreed to do earlier?"

Rong Shi's head drooped down, like a fortune rolling in the snow and rain. He whispered: "How about, Master, you whip me dozens of times to vent your anger."

He didn't know yet whether the Buddha would jump over the wall. He actually wanted to find a cliff to jump from.

He himself is a worthless body. He only has to run to the latrine a few times when he is hungry. How can he taint his master's mouth?

Even these dumplings are brought ready-made from the kitchen.

"You, please stop teasing him. Look what is this?"

Xie Mingli was dressed in a black gown, holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a small baggage in the other.

With just one glance, he knew that it was Jiaozhou's unique Yuehua Brocade. Xie Yuheng was surprised and said, "Could it be that my second brother asked someone to send it to me?"

"Ah."

Handing the oil-paper umbrella to the boy, Xie Mingli shook off the chill from his fur coat before entering.

"People from the Ping An Escort Bureau sent it to me early in the morning. I think there were a lot of horse changes along the way."

Opening the small bundle, there was a thick stack of letters with a name written on the envelope.

Xie Yuheng only found his own opening and looked at it carefully.

The whole article is about what the second brother saw and heard, and how brave he boasted...

Only the last sentence, ‘I can go back to Gangneung before New Year’s Eve,’ is barely useful information.

Brother and sister Xie Mingli and Xie Yuheng read their respective letters simultaneously and sighed in unison.

Alas, when the children grow up, they no longer know how to report good news but not bad news.

Xie Mingli raised his hand to summon Mu Ze and asked him to send it to various places according to the name on the envelope.

Only then did I discover that there was a small white... pinecone inside the baggage?

Tie a piece of red silk with crooked writing on it, which is for Xiao Yuheng.

"The material doesn't look like jade, could it be ivory?" Xie Yuheng poked the 'white pine cone' with his finger.

This is what the second brother said when he was still a little chubby boy, Naijianye.
