All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao pouted and argued strongly: "I'm embroidering the fan face right now. It's the first time I embroidered two completely different embroidery patterns, and it's not easy, and it will naturally take longer, so I didn't say no. "

Actually it's not the first time.

The forehead wipe I gave to my grandmother last time has a pattern of "swastika" on one side and a pattern of "longevity" on the other side, but the words are simpler than the pattern.

Zhou Linghuai took the tea cup and took a sip: "You can embroider the fan face slowly, and you are not in a hurry to use it today. The painting is regarded as a thank you gift for my cousin who specially prepared a sea cucumber medicinal meal for me."

Yu Youyao puffed out her cheeks, but she understood that her cousin just drew the "Bamboo Orchid", wasn't it intentional?

Can't be bothered, really can't be bothered.

With a small "revenge" on the girl, Zhou Linghuai had a smile on her lips, and put a pen in the upper left corner to mention the words: "The twenty-fourth year of Jianyuan, Zuo, gifted to cousin Yu's younger sister."

After writing, he took out the Shoushan Stone seal from his sleeve and stamped it.

After the ink pad was dry, Yu Youyao took the scroll.

Carefully clamped the two ends of the painting with the scroll and fixed it. Zhou Linghuai rolled the painting and handed it to Yu Youyao: "Keep it!"

Yu Youyao happily took it: "Thank you cousin."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to unfold the scroll, took a closer look, praised the painting from head to toe, raised his head and adored: "Cousin, you are really amazing."

No matter how many times I hear this, it makes me happy.

Zhou Linghuai smiled slightly: "Cousin, would you like to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with me? No matter how you learn, sisters from big families will inevitably get together to talk about elegance and learn some talents."

The little girl's calligraphy has already been practiced, and he does not need him to come to the Yuyu Court every day. The lessons that fell first are gradually catching up. Mr. Ye Nu's heart is teaching, and he does not need daily guidance.

When Yu Youyao first heard it, she rejected it in her heart, but her cousin said that she could learn how to learn, and she was a little moved. When her cousin finished speaking, she was confused: "Then, just learn a little bit," she used **** After gesturing a little bit, how much is it, he emphasized: "Just a little bit, no more. I have to go to home school in the morning, and I also need to be a housekeeper, and learn things with Mammy Xu. I'm very busy every day!"

Zhou Linghuai looked at it funny: "I won't tire you."

Because he had to come to the Jade Court every day to teach the little girl her homework and calligraphy, and it was inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, Yu Youyao moved the small study to the south side room on the first floor, and changed the side room into a large study room, facing the courtyard. A tall Qingwu, with no knots in its trunk, rises straight up, with high momentum. In March, the leaves of the tung tree begin to emerge. Although there is no green and green, it is already elegant.

Listening to the cheerful and sweet voice of the little girl, Zhou Linghuai thought of the record in the Book of Songs Daya Volume A: "The phoenix is ​​roaring, and it is in the high hill.

Yong Yong swears, and the phoenix sings.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly said: "Qing Wu outside the window looks at the age."

Yu Youyao also looked at the giant tree outside the window: "I don't know how old this Qingwu is. I heard from my grandmother that it was transplanted by my mother back then, and it seems to be more than a few hundred years old."

Zhou Linghuai took a closer look again, this Qingwu plant is more than a few hundred years old: "I will use this Qingwu plant to make a lyre for you, what do you think?"

Yu Youyao's eyes widened in shock, her face full of excitement: "Cousin, do you want to chop the piano for me? It's great, I heard from Chang'an that my cousin could chop the piano, but I didn't expect that one day, I would get a cousin to chop the piano by hand. As for the piano made, my cousin wants to give it to me, so I will definitely learn it well.”

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "Just tell me what you want. Are you afraid that I won't do it for you? But don't be too happy. It's not easy to make a piano, and it takes a lot of time." A good piano is harder to make.

"It doesn't matter, cousin, just do it slowly." Yu Youyao squatted in front of her cousin, with a look of joy and anticipation on her face. What my cousin meant was, no matter what she wants, will my cousin do it for her?

Cousin is so nice.

"Okay!" Zhou Linghuai looked at the little girl, the corner of his eyes reflected the slender vines, he quietly climbed up the window lattice, and entered the room. The red rose of fire, just in the bud, is shy and charming.

My cousin went to the school, and Yu Youyao ran under the Qingwu tree and circled around Qingwu. Her cheerful laughter could be heard all over the courtyard.

After half an hour (14:00), the stewards of Zhuangpu arrived.

The stewards went to Anshoutang to meet Mrs. Yu to show their respect.

Yu Youyao accompanied her grandmother to see them together.

These stewards are all old people in the house, and they are all older. Most of the seven or eight people are in their forties and fifties. Among them, one of the shopkeepers, who is wearing blue silk and is in his thirties, is particularly eye-catching.

Yu Youyao took two more glances.

This man is rich, smiling, and kind-hearted.

Mrs. Yu noticed the look in her eyes and pointed at the shopkeeper: "This is Wang Dongquan from Baoxing Rice Shop. Shopkeeper Wang has some connections with you and is a competent person."

Yu Youyao's eyebrows moved lightly, and people regarded food as their heaven. In the major shop businesses, the status of rice shops was even more respectable.

After listening to Wang Dongquan, he answered with a smile: "When I was young, I was working at Baoxing Rice Shop, and when Mrs. Xie was visiting the rice shop, she saw that the younger one was okay, so she brought up the second shopkeeper and asked the big shopkeeper to join him. I learned some skills, a few years ago, the big shopkeeper was too old, so the younger took over the work of the big shopkeeper."

Yu Youyao smiled slightly: "The rice shop is an important business in the mansion, and in the future, there will be Laowang to take care of things."

It is her mother who is related to Wang Dongquan.

My mother had a kindness to Wang Dongquan, and my grandmother mentioned this on the spot, but anyone who knows kindness should also know to surrender to the little master.

If Wang Dongquan didn't know interest, he would not be reused by the government in the future.

He had no choice.

There is Zhou Yonghe on Zhuangzi, and Wang Dongquan on the shop. They are all very important Zhuangpu stewards in the mansion. Compared with the other stewards, they are inferior.

The eyes of the other stewards in the hall flickered, and they also guessed Madam Yu's intentions, and they put away the small calculations in their hearts.

The old lady is scheming, Wang Dongquan made this move early in the morning, and is paving the way for his granddaughter.

They are all old loyal servants in the house, and even if they look down on Yu Youyao's half-year-old child, they can't get in the way of the old lady.

With Mrs. Yu's hand, Yu Youyao later mentioned the new regulations in the mansion. Although the stewards were shocked, they did not refute Yu Youyao's face on the spot.

Yu Youyao didn't care what they thought, her voice was soft: "You go to Fufengyuan for a tea break and discuss it carefully."
