Chapter 8 New Year’s greetings

Nan Yan said to He Sanniang's mother: "Aunt, Sanniang, this is the dessert I have made at home these days. Aunt and Sanniang, try it and see how it tastes?"

Mrs. Wang sat on the chair, took the chopsticks from the servant, put the nougat cut into small pieces into her mouth, chewed it, her eyes lit up, and said: "Yan'er, you are really good at making this dessert."

The pastries sold by Yipinxuan are much more delicious. Yipinxuan is the most famous pastry shop in the city.

Nan Yan also ate a piece of nougat herself and said: "Yipinxuan's pastries are also delicious."

The pastries sold by Yipinxuan are ancient traditional pastries. Nan Yan feels that the nougat and Yipinxuan pastries she asked the kitchen to make have their own delicious tastes.

Anyway, she was tired of eating sweets, bread and cakes in the space. She occasionally ate some ancient traditional pastries and found them delicious.

When Nan Yan came back from visiting the He family for New Year greetings, the housekeeper came over with a greeting card in hand, "Miss, the He family sent a greeting card."

"Oh, He family?" Nan Yan took the invitation and said.

"Yes, it's a greeting card from the He family on East Street." the housekeeper replied.

For wealthy families in the city, it is not like just visiting a farmer's house directly. Instead, they submit a notice in advance and make an appointment with the other party before they come to visit.

Nan Yan received a message from the He family and met Feng's mother and Mrs. Li on the third day of the lunar new year, and brought a lively Feng Yichen to the house.

The He family brought many gifts when they came this time.

Nan Yan saw the servants of the Feng family carrying large and small bags, and handed them to Butler Zhang, saying, "Auntie, you are just here. Why do you need to bring so many things?"

Feng's mother took Nan Yan's hand and walked: "We just came back from Texas two days ago. I heard that you were in Linzhou two days ago. I just brought Yi'er to see you today. Miss Yan'er, don't be surprised.

"

Feng's mother's family lives in Dezhou. Her old mother celebrated her 80th birthday. Feng's mother and her son and daughter-in-law rushed to celebrate her mother's birthday. They only returned to Linzhou from Dezhou two days before the new year.

The Feng family gave gifts to relatives and friends years ago and learned that in August, an orphan girl would come to settle in their city.

When the Feng family heard the news, they quickly asked someone to find out if the girl who had just moved in was Nan Yan. If they didn't find out, they hurriedly prepared gifts.

Nan Yan took Feng's mother and Li to the backyard. During the chat, she finally understood why the Feng family's carriage was filled with so many furs.

When Feng's mother talked about the furs in the carriage, she couldn't help but said in annoyance: "Yan'er, you don't know something. This kid Yi'er is usually very skinny. This time he went to Texas to celebrate his grandmother's birthday. We were afraid that he would be in the carriage.

I only put on a few layers of fur when I was bumped while playing, but I didn’t expect, oh, I didn’t expect that it was for his own good, but it almost ended up harming him.”

At this time, Mrs. Li also said beside her: "Yes, when I saw Yi'er limp in my arms, I was scared out of my mind."

At this time, Mrs. Li thought of the original scene and still couldn't help but be afraid.

Nan Yan didn't expect that things turned out to be like this, but as Feng's mother said, it was originally for the good of the little guy, but in the end, she almost sent the little guy away.

Nan Yan waved to the little man who was sitting obediently on the chair next to Mr. Li, neither crying nor fussing.

Mrs. Li helped to carry the little one down. Feng Yichen walked up to Nan Yan with her short legs and shouted in a sweet voice: "Aunt Yan'er."

Nan Yan likes children, with her eyes without any pollution. She picked up the cute Feng Yichen with a smile on her face, took out a red jade round jade pendant from her arms, and said: "Yier is a very well-behaved child, Yan'er

Auntie, can you please reward our Yi'er with a prize?"

"No, Miss Yan'er." When Mother Feng and Mrs. Li saw Nan Yan presenting such a precious gift, they hurriedly shouted.

Nan Yan put the jade pendant on Feng Yichen and said to Feng's mother and Li, "Sister-in-law, there's nothing wrong with her." Then she changed the subject and chatted with the Feng family's mother-in-law about the local customs of Linzhou.

The three of them chatted too happily in the evening, so Nan Yan left the Feng family, mother-in-law, mother-in-law and grandson at home to have dinner before letting them leave.

Feng Xinghe didn't go with his mother and daughter-in-law because there was no man in Nan Yan's family. Now he saw his mother and daughter-in-law bringing their son back. She picked up her son who was running towards him and asked, "Yi'er can see Aunt Nan Yan today."

: "Dad, Yi'er has met Aunt Yan'er." Then he took out the gift Nan Yan gave him and showed off: "Aunt Yan'er also said that Yi'er is very good, so Aunt Yan'er gave Yi'er a reward gift."

Feng Xinghe:???

His son is very good, why didn't he know?

When Mrs. Li saw her son presenting the treasure, she covered her face with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "He is very happy to have received a gift from Miss Yan'er. On the way back, he always takes it out and asks me and my mother if it looks good."

There is an unwritten rule in the Xia Dynasty, which is to visit whose home you bring a child for the first time, the heavier the gift you give, it proves that the other party values ​​the child more.

If it is just a few pennies or one or two taels of silver, it means that the other party does not like the child or is dissatisfied with the child's family.

Today, Mrs. Li saw Nan Yan give such a precious gift to her son. In addition to being grateful to Nan Yan, she also felt that Nan Yan really loved her son.

Feng's mother is the head matron of the family and has more things to think about than Mrs. Li.

Feng's mother sat on the main seat and said: "Xing'er, Miss Yan'er has settled alone in our city. If anything happens to Miss Yan'er in the future, you and your wife can help you as long as you can."

Feng's father, who had been unable to go with us because of something else, said when his wife said this: "What your mother said is that this girl saved our Yi'er, and we can't be the unfaithful people. When the girl is in trouble,

No need to help!"

Because something happened at the shop in the county town next door, Feng's father did not go with his wife and children. Instead, he went from the county town to another county town to mingle with his wife and children.

When he found out that his grandson was almost dead, he was not only angry with his son and his wife for not taking care of his grandson carefully, but he was also glad that his grandson was lucky enough to have met Nan Yan and was rescued.

"Mom, dad, do I know how to do this?" Feng Xinghe said.

In fact, he does not need to tell his parents, he will also pay attention to Nan Yan's situation, and will definitely take action if Nan Yan encounters something.

After all, Nan Yan can be regarded as her son's reborn parent, isn't she?

At dawn on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Nan Yan took a carriage to the door to wait for the He family's mother and daughter.

As soon as He Sanniang left the house, she saw Nan Yan shouting at the top of her voice: "Sister Yan'er, I'm here?"

When Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter, who was already old enough to marry, was still as lively as a child, she immediately became worried about how her daughter would be able to tolerate the affairs of her husband's family when she married into her husband's family.

He Sanniang pulled Nan Yan and insisted that Nan Yan get into the carriage with her so that the two of them could talk in the car. Nan Yan had no choice but to follow He Sanniang and get into the He family's carriage.

By the time Nan Yan and the others arrived at Huiming Temple, many people had gathered here.

After Nan Yan and Wang's mother laid incense sticks, Wang wanted to listen to the eminent monk's sermon, so he asked her and He Sanniang to go for a walk outside the temple.

Naturally, Nan Yan didn't like listening to the monks chanting sutras, so she took He Sanniang and quickly walked outside the temple. The two of them shuttled between various small stalls in high spirits.

"Buy a peach blossom branch, one penny for a peach blossom branch, come and see." A boy about ten years old, hanging a bamboo basket, kept shouting in the crowd.

Nan Yan saw that she was buying peach blossom branches now, and felt that the peach blossoms bloomed very early this year.
