All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao suddenly realized: "If you don't have that diamond, don't do the work of porcelain."

Xie Jingliu smiled: "Yes, this is the drill." After speaking, he pointed to two needles, one long and one short: "Where does the short point go, when is it..."

"It's amazing," Yu Youyao said a few words, and already understood, and couldn't help but wonder: "Compared to the funnel and the hourglass, you can see it accurately, you can wear it on your body, and you can do anything in the future without fear of making a mistake. Shi Chen, third cousin, how many of these clocks have you brought?"

Xie Jingliu held the hand of the folding fan, and it was a little itchy again: "What? After seeing something good, I eagerly wanted to send it to your cousin?"

Yu Youyao was pierced by his mind and argued strongly: "Why don't you say, I want to give it to my grandmother?"

Xie Jingliu said angrily: "Although this thing is novel, but the old lady may not really like it because she is old, just pass the eyelids and see it."

Yu Youyao pouted and stopped talking.

Xie Jingliu smiled: "This is an expensive thing, I only brought five this time, so I gave two of them to you, and the remaining three have to be sent to the palace, you can use it in your own room for a while, and it won't be long. , other people in the capital should have it too, and when the time comes, it will be worn out, and it will not be eye-catching."

Yu Youyao put his arms around the third cousin's arm: "Thank you, third cousin."

Xie Jingliu picked out another box: "This is a kaleidoscope, nothing special, just a novelty."

Yu Youyao thought of the kaleidoscope that Yu Shanxin had given to Yu Shuangbai earlier, and couldn't help but smile and frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Third cousin, I wrote a letter to ask my grandfather to help inquire about a strange insect, any news? "

Xie Jingliu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but knocked his little cousin on the head again: "I miss your cousin, and I'll become someone else's cousin if I'm in a hurry?"

Yu Youyao pouted, dissatisfied: "If the third cousin said this, then the medicinal tea and medicinal fragrance I prepared will not be yours. I have prepared it for a month."

Xie Jingliu was speechless for a while: "Tell you a few words, and your temper is still growing."

Yu Youyao giggled, her eyes sparkling.

With such a look, Xie Jingliu's heart softened when he saw it, but he felt that even the stars in the sky could be picked and given to her, so it was no wonder that Zhou Linghuai did not hesitate to cut the tree of Yangtong, and wanted to play the violin for the little girl himself.

So, he called the servant next to him and gave an order.

The little boy ran away and disappeared.

Xie Jingliu then said: "The ancestors of Xie's house used cup medicine to pass down the family. After several wars, most of the inheritance in the family was lost, resulting in the loss of the inheritance. No, but the ancestors once donated one to the emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, probably because of this, there are also a few words in the classics. "

Yu Youyao's eyes widened, shocked and happy: "This is too coincidental."

The little servant went back and forth, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, on which simple but elegant bamboo patterns were carved with a few brushstrokes, and the tube was densely covered with small holes that were larger than the tip of a needle.

"The rhinoceros are not easy to raise, and there are not many in the Xie family, so I only have two for you. Your cousin will have enough for one, and you can use the other for yourself." Xie Jingliu reached out and took the bamboo tube and gave it to Yu Youyao.

Two rhinoceros worms, which were even smaller than cicadas, resembled cicadas, with brown-black bodies and no cicada wings. They were roughly similar to what Sun Bo said, and they were still alive.

Yu Youyao was a little distressed, and couldn't help but ask, "How do I take care of this thing? I've never taken care of it before. If it doesn't take care of it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Xie Jingliu smiled: "Then don't worry, I will feed some precious herbs and prepare a medicinal liquid for you. Before you feed the medicinal herbs, soak them in the medicinal liquid for an hour. I can't tell you, it's just a hassle to refine, it requires a lot of poisonous things, you don't know how to take medicine, and you can't handle these poisons well in Yu Mansion, so my grandfather asked me to bring the prepared ones for you to use. Come on, bring some over every season."

Yu Youyao was relieved.

At noon (12 o'clock), Yang Shuwan sent Mujin over: "The madam explained that the table at home is ready, please thank the young master for moving to the banquet hall."

The small banquet at noon was also very rich. There were two tables in total, one for each man and woman. Yu Qingning and Concubine He didn't come, and no one asked any more questions, as if there were no two people in the house.

The eldest master and the second master were not in the mansion, so there could be no elders at the banquet table, so Mrs. Yu sat there.

Xie Jingliu sat next to Madam Yu on his left, Zhou Linghuai sat next to Madam Yu's right, but Yu Shanyan, the eldest son, was placed next to Zhou Linghuai.

Although my cousin was a cousin, my grandmother didn't treat him as an outsider, so he passed the elder brother and asked him to accompany him at the big banquet.

After a feast, nothing went wrong.

Yang Shuwan, who was hosting the banquet, also had a bright face, and the spring breeze at the corner of her eyes and her eyebrows could not be concealed.

After everyone gathered to chat for a while, Mrs. Yu was exhausted, and turned to Zhou Linghuai to explain: "Take good care of Young Master Biao." After speaking, she turned to look at Yu Shanyan and Yu Shanxin: "You too."

Seeing that a few people answered "yes", Madam Yu asked Madam Liu to help her back to the Anshou Hall.

Zhou Linghuai invited Xie Jingliu to the Qingyuan Courtyard, accompanied by Yu Shanyan, Yu Shanxin, and Yu Shanli.

Yu Youyao went back to the Jade Courtyard and had someone bring the medicinal food there.

After that, Yu Youyao asked Chun Xiao to prepare a return gift for everyone in the Xie family, ready.

She personally made two soothing pillows for her grandfather and grandmother, prepared various medicinal teas and medicinal fragrances, and added some spiritual dew to them.

In addition, there are some fashionable things in Beijing, dry goods from Zhuangzi, as well as some good medicinal materials, supplements, local specialties in Beijing and so on.

Although the Xie Mansion does not lack these, she has carefully prepared this, and she has piled up the whole room.

Yu Youyao took the gift slips and checked them one by one. After checking that there were no mistakes, she called a few old ladies over and moved the gifts to the carriage of Xie's house.

Full of a large carriage.

At this time, Qingxiu came over: "The eldest lady is preparing a return gift for the Xie Mansion, and the old lady asked the eldest lady to go along with him to help."

Yu Youyao chuckled, and the Yang family likes to do some face-saving work. The grandmother was worried that she would be rude in return, so she did not refuse.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Yang Shuwan was discussing the gift list with Madam Liu.

Seeing Yu Youyao coming over, Yang Shuwan's face sank immediately, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Qingxiu following Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao said with a smile: "Grandma said that the rules and regulations in this ceremony are very important, so she asked me to come and learn with my mother, and my mother must teach me well."
