All Hail Cousin Brother

"Zhou Yonghe is a dutiful son, and he didn't care about the academy exam, so he went to that family to make a theory. That family beat Zhou Yonghe out with a slapstick, and damaged Zhou Yonghe's face, leaving a long scar, so Zhou Yonghe could no longer do it. Continue the test."

Yu Youyao's hands couldn't help but tighten. The Zhou Dynasty was full of serious illnesses, broken faces, defects, etc., and was not allowed to enter the office, which was enough to show how vicious that family was.

She couldn't help thinking of her cousin, and couldn't help but pursed her lips: "What happened next?"

Xia Tao: "How can Zhou Yonghe be convinced? In the winter, he found Yu Mansion and knelt in front of Yu Mansion's gate to judge his injustice. At that time, the head of Yu Mansion was your mother, Mrs. Xie. After learning what happened to Zhou Yonghe's family, Xie Xie The eldest lady was deeply sympathetic, so she came forward to make money, managed the government, and let the government run its business. The government found out that the family had deliberately murdered. Not only did the Zhou Yonghe family lose a sum of money, but the family property was also confiscated. After going to prison, I will pay Zhou Yonghe's family justice."

Unexpectedly, Zhouzhuang's new steward still had some relationship with her mother, and Yu Youyao was a little surprised.

Sure enough, the **** is still old and spicy.

Seeing that Yu Youyao didn't speak, Xia Tao said again: "When Mrs. Xie passed away, Zhou Yonghe's family wore burlap and filial piety, and followed the mourners of Yufu from a distance, sending Mrs. Xie several miles away."

Yu Youyao nodded: "Go and see this steward Zhou!"

Zhou Yonghe was twenty-four years old. He was wearing a gray cloth that had been washed white and straight up. He looked tall and thin, but he looked like Zhou Zheng, but there was a long scar on his left face that ran from the corner of his eye to his nose. It's a bit shocking, but after many years, the scars have faded a lot, but it's not really scary.

Seeing that Zhou Yonghe stood up calmly, he bowed to Yu Youyao: "I have seen Miss."

It's a literati gift!

The Great Zhou Dynasty had fame and fame, so it could be seen that officials did not kneel. Zhou Yonghe was a child, so naturally there was no reason to kneel on her. Yu Youyao nodded: "Steward Zhou, please take a seat!"

Zhou Yonghe thanked him, lifted the hem of his clothes lightly, and sat back calmly.

The half-year-old girl, wearing an apricot red dress, sits on the top, her tender little face is a little longer, and it vaguely reveals a radiance and beauty, very much like the old Mrs. Xie, only compared to Mrs. Xie. She was dignified and beautiful, and the little girl in front of her was a little more graceful and delicate.

With a dazed look on his face, he remembered that when Mrs. Xie came forward to check the government, the government found out the truth and returned justice to the family.

He went to the Yu Mansion and thanked Mrs. Xie, but was so frightened by Mrs. Xie that she did not dare to look up, only to see Mrs. Xie's apricot red clothes, with a pink and white apricot flower embroidered on the corners of the clothes. brilliant.

He heard her say: "I heard that you are a very good reader of books, and you have already been born at a young age?"

At that time, the scar on his face was very terrifying, like a centipede slanting across his face, he was angry, and gritted his teeth and said, "It was in February that he was going to participate in the hospital examination and took the name of a scholar."

Mrs. Xie's tone revealed a bit of regret: "Although the imperial examination is the best way out, it's not the only way out, you are a scholar, you have more reason than others, and you have surpassed half of the world, and it is not advisable to give up on yourself. Good or bad luck is hard to predict, good or bad luck is hard to know, and how can we know that when Sai Weng loses his horse, how can we know that it is not a blessing?"

Before leaving, he stood under the magnolia tree in Fufengyuan. At that time, the magnolias were blooming like lotuses. When he thought about the character of Mrs. Xie, he was as noble as this magnolia.

A maid stepped forward and said, "The madam asked me to give you this bottle of good jade ointment, and let you go back and wipe it. Although it can't eliminate the scars on your face, it can also lighten it."

Ten years later, when the magnolias are blooming again, he came to Fufeng Courtyard in Yufu again, but it was a different person.

At this time, he still failed to understand Mrs. Xie's sentence: "The world is unpredictable, good and bad luck is hard to predict, and how can you know that it is not a blessing when Sai Weng loses his horse?"

But it was not until later that he accompanied the eldest miss of the Yu family away from Beijing for many years, and then returned to the capital, and finally realized that Mrs. Xie's heartfelt words should have been on her daughter Yu Youyao.

It was this girl who led him all the way, crowning Jinghua.

Zhou Zhuang chose Zhou Yonghe to be the steward, to show her goodwill. She is in charge of the family, but under her command are all the old people in the house. Naturally, there is no problem with these people, but it is not easy to drive them. , With Zhou Yonghe, she will not be available to anyone in the future.

In this case, Zhou Yonghe's ability is beyond doubt.

Yu Youyao didn't talk nonsense, and asked Chunxiao to take a stack of papers to Zhou Yonghe: "Zhou Shi, not only has a deep relationship with my mother, but also the fate between you and me. In the afternoon, the stewards in the shop will enter the mansion, and I will When this matter is mentioned, there will be steward Lao Zhou, discuss a protocol with other stewards, and then establish a new contract, which has been implemented in and outside the house these days."

Zhou Yonghe didn't say much. On the white rice paper, the row of small characters in regular script, although a little immature, was of natural quality, showing both hardness and softness. It came from the hands of a half-year-old child, which was hard to believe.

After reading the whole article, Zhou Yonghe was awe-inspiring: "Miss eldest has a very large pattern, she does not stick to one place, centralizes the management of people, decentralizes the management of affairs, combines strength and softness, and shows both kindness and power." He stood up on the chair, walked to Yu Youyao, and slammed his body respectfully: "Zizhang, I would like to help the eldest miss to help the dog and horse."

Zhou Yonghe is really a smart man!

Zhouzhuang's steward has always been very honorable in Yu Mansion, and among the stewards, he is also rare and decent. With Zhou Yonghe taking the lead, this matter will be much easier.

At this time, Mrs. Yu also knew that the new manager of Xiao Zhouzhuang was entering the mansion, and she was talking to Madam Liu: "Zhuang in Zhouzhuang is always old and mature, and there is such a person around me, I am relieved. some.

Just as he was talking, a maid came to pass the message: "Miss Eldest brought Steward Zhou over to greet the old lady."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said hurriedly, "Come in quickly."

Manager Zhou took office the first day, and he had to meet the old lady at home and the mistress of the house. However, Mrs. Yang was ill and it was not easy to disturb him. The medicinal tea of ​​Mrs. Song from the Guohou Mansion was brought along with it.

Zhou Yonghe respectfully greeted Mrs. Yu, and there was an air of writing on her body.

Mrs. Yu looked at Zhou Yonghe carefully again, and nodded with satisfaction: "I will follow the eldest young lady to do things well in the future. Although my granddaughter is younger, she is like her mother. She is kind and kind."

Zhou Yonghe is a smart person, and he understands as soon as he hears it. Madam Yu asked him to only follow the eldest young lady to do things, and was driven by the eldest lady: "Old madam, please rest assured."
