The several large boxes of things that my uncle sent me can be said to be all kinds of things, and you can tell at a glance that they are the things that he can send, and no one else can do such a thing.
Others will understand if you tell me an example.
My uncle once came back from outside and carried a jar as if he were a treasure.
His aunt asked him what was in the jar.
He wiped the sweat from his head and said , is spring water carried down from the mountains hundreds of miles away.
God knows how he carried this big jar up such a steep mountain with no roads, and how he filled it with spring water and carried it back down the mountain.
My uncle later told Xie Ning: "It's really impossible to carry a jar in the last section.
The flies on the bare stone wall can't stand on it, and the local mountain people can't go up.
So I went up first by myself, and then used a rope to hold it down."
Lift the jar up, fill it with water, lower it with a rope, and then slide it back down."
Xie Ning only paid attention to the word "fly" at that time: "Uncle, if a fly can't get up and you still get up, then you are more powerful than a fly."
The younger uncle said proudly: "That's right, that's right."
After feeling proud, he felt why this was so awkward.
More powerful than a fly.
Are you praising him?
Why do you praise him so badly?
Therefore, it has become a habit for my uncle to bring things back when he travels far away, but the things he brings are often very weird.
In addition to food, these boxes contain almost everything else.
Xie Ning thought, maybe the weather is hot and the road is far, so it is difficult to bring food supplies.
Fabrics, ornaments, gold and silverware, gems, spices, some novel gadgets, stone carvings, wood carvings, copper incense burners with shapes that are very different from those in the Central Plains, and I don’t know what they are used for.
They are probably small things carved out of ox bones.
These are considered normal.
There are also abnormal things.
There was a sachet that looked like it was made of unknown thread.
When I opened it and looked at it, my uncle even thoughtfully attached a note inside, saying that it was made of a kind of cow hair from the Western Regions twisted into thread.
This thing is ugly as hell.
It's not suitable to wear on your body or hang in your house.
You could say it was thrown away, after all, it was brought back from a thousand miles away.
As the saying goes, sending a gift from a thousand miles is light on etiquette but heavy on friendship.
I feel that my uncle carries things home very casually.
He stops as he walks, buys whatever he wants and stuffs it into his bag before continuing on the road.
The eldest prince was very interested in this sachet made of ox hair, and asked Xie Ning, "Ms.
Xie, can you give me this?"
Xie Ning smiled and handed the sachet to him: "There's nothing wrong with this.
You and Yuyao can choose.
Just take whatever you like."
After all, Princess Yuyao is a little girl and has no interest in such dirty-looking things made of cow hair.
She picked a headband that should be tied to her head.
It was sewn with small pieces of cat ears and green crystal stones.
It was very colorful and looked colorful under the light.
It was indeed much more beautiful than cow hair.
The two of them picked a bunch each, but before they could pick up the rest, the emperor came.
When he saw such a mess in Yong'an Palace, he laughed: "What is this?"
"My uncle brought it to me.
It's all messy.

I asked Ying Yi and the others to help me pick out and sort it out."
This is also called reorganizing things.
The more things are reorganized, the more chaotic they become.
The emperor smiled and did not expose her.
Xie Ning was very calm when he had something to do, but when he had nothing to do, he could also play with the three children.
One look at the mess on the ground and it was clear that they must have had a lot of fun just under the pretext of sorting it out.
Qinghe and the others didn't need anyone's orders, they quickly came over and quickly packed up the things on the floor and put them back into the boxes.
The emperor picked up a piece of wood carving at his feet.
He didn't know what kind of wood it was.
It was heavy and hard, and it felt like a piece of iron in his hand.
The carving is of a horse.
Although the carving is rough and the marks are sharp, the horse's expression and movement are vivid.
Xie Ning came over to look at the wooden carved horse with the emperor.
"The craftsmanship is average, but this person must be looking at this horse sculpture."
“The horses from the Western Region are very different from those from the Central Plains.”
As soon as Xie Ning saw the emperor's expression, he knew that he was thinking about business again, so he stopped talking and interrupted.
After Qing He and the others finished packing, Hu Rong led people in to carry the box out, and the emperor released his grip.
Ma: "Put this in the small study."
Xie Ning washed his hands and peeled oranges for the emperor while waiting for dinner to arrive.
This orange is also a tribute from the south.
It is big and round, and its golden peel is as shiny as wax.
She was very careful when peeling it, but the juice splashed from the orange peel still dyed her fingers a light yellow-green color, and the smell was particularly fragrant.
He then broke open the peeled orange petals and handed one to the emperor.
The emperor was turning the pages of the book and didn't reach out, but just turned his face.
Xie Ning then moved forward and handed the orange petal to the emperor's mouth.
Then she took a piece herself.
It is indeed a tribute, as sweet as honey.
"Ji Yun also gave me something."
Xie Ning managed to avoid choking on the orange juice and managed to swallow it.
He coughed twice to clear his throat before saying, "What did you give me?"
"Let me think about it, there are a few stones, horseshoes, grass seeds, a Western musical instrument, and two knives."
It still sounds disorganized.
Why would you give something like a horseshoe to the emperor?
But looking at the smile in the emperor's eyes, it was obvious that the gift given by the younger uncle was very appropriate, and it just scratched the emperor's itch.
Xie Ning picked one up and asked: "What is that instrument?"
"Oh, it's a flute made of clay.
In fact, it looks more like a whistle, just one palm long.
In fact, it can't be called a flute.
Ji Yun said that the locals use the one used to tame falcons, but it's not the same as the hawk whistle here.
Same."
The next day, my uncle entered the palace again, but this time he did not come to Yong'an Palace.
The emperor met him in Changning Palace, talked to him a lot more, and kept him for dinner before letting him out of the palace.
Xie Ning was also very happy to see that his uncle was favored by the emperor.
She was now looking forward to her uncle's family coming to Beijing.
My cousin is already married, so I probably won’t come with her this time, but my cousin’s husband has to take the exam, and maybe he will come to the capital next year or the year after.

I can always find a chance to meet him when the time comes.
The most important thing now is that the eldest prince is about to officially enter school.
I remember that when my eldest cousin and the others officially went to study at the school, my eldest uncle gave me instructions and taught them earnestly.
He even took them to the ancestral hall and offered a stick of incense to their ancestors.
It was really solemn.
With the eldest prince here, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
After getting up early and having breakfast earlier than usual, the emperor took the eldest prince away with him and sent him to the study first.
But this is only the case today.
The emperor must have a lot to explain in person.
It is not impossible to ask Bai Hongqi and others to convey the message, but it is a little disrespectful to the masters of Nanyuan Study.
When Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao had breakfast, they were the only ones on the table.
The second prince drank his paste and couldn't stay in the room any longer.
Fang Shanggong had already carried him around in the yard. .
Princess Yuyao looked at the place where the eldest prince usually sat.
The expression on her face seemed to have been stolen by someone, and her eyes seemed empty.
Xie Ning's heart thumped.
He didn't know what the child was thinking about, so he quickly explained: "Ying Yi is going to study today.
Yuyao doesn't remember that Ying Yi told you last night."
Princess Yuyao gave some reaction: "Study" She listened to the eldest prince's explanation yesterday, but probably didn't understand it.
Xie Ning patiently explained again: "Ying Yi will go to study every day from now on, but he will be back in two hours at most.
We will have lunch together and he will be there in the afternoon.
Yuyao wants to play with her brother.
Just until noon.”
"Brother, there is no need for breakfast."
This child is a bit resigned to death, and when there is no one at the table, he thinks that the eldest prince has not eaten.
"He has used it.
He used it with the emperor, really."
Princess Yuyao probably listened to her words and obediently lowered her head to drink the porridge.
Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the palace maid to give her a small and exquisite crystal bun.
She was afraid that the soup and oil in the bun filling would burn her, so she opened the opening to let out the heat.
Xie Ning thought the matter had been explained clearly, but she didn't expect Princess Yuyao to be waiting for her behind.
After breakfast, Princess Yuyao patiently waited for someone to serve her.
After rinsing her mouth, wiping her mouth and washing her hands, she jumped to the ground and said one word: "Let's go."
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"
"Looking for brother."
Xie Ning was stunned.
Hasn't this already been explained?
"Ying Yi is going to study.
This is a serious matter, not just for fun.
We can't disturb him right now."
But Princess Yuyao said she couldn't care less at this moment: "Look for brother."
Xie Ning didn't want to go, so she walked out on her own, making the wet nurse and the palace maid stop her.
It's useless even if Fang Shanggong takes action personally.
You should know that there is usually nothing that Fang Shanggong can't do anything about.
But today, Princess Yuyao became stubborn and refused to let her out.

She stood motionless by the door, biting her lips tightly without saying a word.
Her face turned pale, which made Xie Ning feel frightened.
There was chaos here, and Director Li came over.
Today was a routine day to ask for pulse, but as soon as he arrived at the door, Li Shuling was stunned when he saw the battle.
Fang Shanggong was now so sick that he sought medical treatment.
He pointed at Li Shuling and said to Princess Yuyao, "Look, Mr.
Li is here."
Li Shuling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing Xie Ning standing aside, he bowed and asked, "Your Highness, what is going on?"
This is truly a disaster.
Both the Emperor and Xie Ning had previously focused on the eldest prince, fearing that he would be overwhelmed when he first entered school, would not be able to keep up with his homework, and would not be able to adapt to the Nanyuan study.
Unexpectedly, things were fine with the eldest prince, everything went smoothly, but things got out of hand with Princess Yuyao.
The two children were always together, and the eldest prince acted like an elder brother.
But Xie Ning didn't expect that Princess Yuyao would react so strongly to the eldest prince's departure.
Li Shuling pondered for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have a suspicion in my mind."
Xie Ning said hurriedly: "Master Li, please tell me if you have anything to say
