In that case, it was indeed not good to delay any longer.

Yu Youyao quickly took the gift she had personally prepared from Chun Xiao and handed it over respectfully. “l made a headband for Grandmother…”

In the narrow box, there was a Ruyi-patterned Sichuan embroidery headband.

In the middle of the headband, there was a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg. It was as deep and bright as seawater.

Old Madam Xie smiled so widely that her eyes couldn’t be seen. “Our Little Yao’er’s embroidery skills are really good. I see that the Sichuan embroidery on it is a little different from usual. The Ruyi patterns don’t look like they were embroidered. They seem to be embossed on it. At first glance, the Ruyi patterns on it seem to move.”

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and chuckled. “The Sichuan embroidery is quick

and realistic, vivid and three-dimensional. It uses a cross stitch, a spiral stitch, and a solid stitch. The needle technique is very special. A good friend taught it to me.”

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

Tang Yunxi did not want to take advantage of her, so she wanted to teach her Sichuan embroidery.

Yu Youyao, who had just learnt double-sided embroidery, expressed that she did not want to learn it at all. However, in order to let Tang Yunxi learning without any psychological burden, she could only bite the bullet and learn it.

Auntie Xu was overjoyed.

Madam Wang also leaned over to take a look. “Look at the sapphire on it. Such a pure and flawless sapphire is rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty…”

The two of them gathered together and praised the headband endlessly.

This scene reminded Yu Youyao of the first time her grandmother had received the embroidery she had personally embroidered. She couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

Old Master Xie felt a sour feeling in his heart. “We still have to go to Old Master’s house later. You can stop for awhile. It’s not the first time you’ve received a gift from Little Yao’er.”

Old Madam Xie rolled her eyes at him and grinned.

Yu Youyao’s heart sank. “Cousin brought the gems on it back from Youzhou. I still have many different colors in my house. If Grandmother and Eldest Aunt like them, I’ll get someone to send some over later.”

When she arrived at the main courtyard, her second uncle and third uncle’s family were already waiting in the hall.

Old Master Xie sat at the master seat. Yu Youyao respectfully kowtowed to her great-grandfather and handed over the cotton shoes she had personally made.

There were a total of two pairs.

One was azure, and the other was indigo.

Old Master Xie tried on the shoes on the spot and couldn’t bear to take them off. “Although this pair of shoes looks simple, it’s not easy to make a pair of shoes that not only fit your feet, but are also comfortable and wearable. If clothes are too big or small, we can still make do. However, shoes can’t be any bigger, but they can still be an inch smaller.”

In ordinary families, shoes were the only thing they never bought.

As long as there was any remaining cloth at home, they would use it to make shoes first.

After Old Master Xie finished speaking, he said, “A surname doesn’t mean anything. Since you’ve entered the Xie Residence, you’re a member of the Xie Residence. Don’t be an outsider in the future.’

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red, and she quickly nodded in agreement.

What she had prepared for her second and third uncles were also shoes. Each of them had a pair. As she had made them herself, they were all the same. No one felt that she was not doing her best.

The only things that juniors could give their elders were shoes, socks, and waist seals. However, Yu Youyao was their niece, and socks were personal items. It was only right for his wife and daughter to make them. There were also many waist seals, so shoes were more suitable.

What she gave to her second aunt and third aunt were also double-sided embroidery fans.

Her second aunt, Madam Lin, liked camellias. Yu Youyao gave her a double-sided camellia fan. It was red and white, and looked extremely elegant.

Third Aunt, Madam Zheng, liked plum blossoms, so Yu Youyao gave her a double-sided plum blossom fan. One side was cinnabar colored, and the other was green. It symbolised strength in the face of challenges.

Her cousins were men, so it wasn’t appropriate for Yu Youyao to give them anything too personal. She gave each of them a hollowed-out silver incense ball. This was a small and exquisite incense ball that they could carry with them.

There were spices and incense pills in it. After burning it, the fragrance of smoke would waft out of the small hole.

The incense ball was not rare.

What was rare was the incense pills inside. As Quanzhou was near the sea and the climate was wet, Yu Youyao made incense pills that were moist and warm. Wearing them for a long time was light and nourishing. Something like that

was hard to come by..
