All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Mansion is a family of scholars. In addition to having a close relationship with the Marquis of Zhenguo, there are also the Tang family, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the Qi family, who also belong to the Duchayuan. As for the Yang family, it is because of Yang Shuwan's face, Yu Youyao. I'm afraid I won't invite him. With Mrs. Yu here, I'm not afraid of being criticized.

Yu Youyao's expression was a little sad: "Cousin, when I was young, there were some rumors in the house, saying that my life was hard enough to kill my mother."

At that time, when she was young, she heard people say that her mother gave birth to her early because of a fall and had a difficult childbirth.

She was very sad, she ran into the room alone, and her eyes were swollen while crying under the quilt.

Zhou Linghuai's throat choked.

Yu Youyao sniffed: "Later, my grandmother was ill, and a Taoist woman suddenly came to the house. The Taoist woman said that I would punish my six relatives and would be sent to Guanli for a few years. I was so angry that I couldn’t even care about my illness, so I took my birth date to Baoning Temple and met Master Hui Neng. Master Hui Neng said that I have a Buddha fate, and if I can do good, I will enjoy a great name and great blessings…”

Zhou Linghuai clenched the armrest tightly, the blue veins on the back bulged, the dark eyes, a faint gleam revealed: "Your mother's death, with you..."

He frowned, it was Yufu's family business, and he didn't have much to say.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath: "When I was a child, I celebrated my birthday with my grandmother. Actually, I don't really want to have fun."

Zhou Linghuai understood that although this matter was resolved by Mrs. Yu, the little girl still believed that her mother's death was related to her, and even her birthday was not happy every year.

He held the little girl's hand and pursed his lips.

The little girl laughed suddenly, and looked at her cousin with bright eyes: "When it's my birthday, my cousin can't forget to give me a birthday present."

She went to the Qingyuan Academy to find her cousin today, just to tell him her birthday.

How could anyone ask others for a birthday gift, Zhou Linghuai couldn't help laughing, but nodded: "Okay!"

After getting the guarantee, Yu Youyao laughed even more happily. Suddenly, she wanted to know what her cousin wanted to give her, so she asked, "Cousin, what gift are you going to give me?"

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "If you say it, there will be no surprises."

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and said nonchalantly: "Cousin, tell me, just a little bit, that is, I know in advance what my cousin gave me. When I received a gift, I was still happy and full of surprises..."

The things that her cousin gave her were unusual. The incense fan that she had given her before was still pleasantly surprised and happy when she saw it now.

Zhou Linghuai chuckled lightly.

Yu Youyao was soft and hard, and didn't say a word to her cousin. She was angry, curious, disappointed, and looking forward to it.

After Yu Youyao left, Zhou Linghuai breathed a sigh of relief, took the blue handkerchief, and wiped the faint sweat on his forehead.

The little girl was so embarrassing that he almost couldn't stand it, so he took out the gift that he had prepared for a long time in advance and handed it to her on the spot.

The capital became lively again because of the flower fair in the Marquis of Changxing.

The next day, Yang Shuwan took Yu Jianjia out.

Xia Tao was a little unhappy: "The eldest lady took the second lady out for a walk, and she didn't even ask the eldest lady. How can she bring one without the other, and she is not afraid of what others say."

Even if the eldest lady did not bring the fourth young lady, it was understandable, but she did not even bring the eldest young lady with her, but brought her own daughter, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Yu Youyao looked light.

Yang Shuwan didn't want to take her out, and she didn't want to go out with Yang Shuwan. Once the half-old child left the house, it would be out of her grandmother's vision, so it was better to be cautious.

but!

There are no elders around, and there are indeed many inconveniences.

Yu Jianjia and Yang Shuwan often go out for a walk with Yang Shuwan, but she doesn't necessarily go out a few times a year, and her grandmother is too old to ask her to take her with her.

Just like the last time I set up a porridge shed, Yu Jianjia was young, so Yang Shuwan took it out to show her face, although her grandmother did not despise such an act.

But actually, it's not that bad.

I hope my cousin's legs can get better as soon as possible, and I can ask my cousin to take her out in the future.

When I thought of my cousin, I inevitably thought of the thing my cousin said yesterday that I wanted to give her a gift, and I couldn't bear it.

In the past, as long as she twisted her eyebrows, pouted, wrinkled her little nose, acted like a spoiled child, or played a fool, her cousin had to find a way to make her happy.

It didn't work this time.

Thinking about it, Yu Youyao pouted aggrievedly.

Humph, cousin is so annoying!

She must hold back today and not go to her cousin.

Just let my cousin stay in the green garden alone to get moldy!

Xia Tao didn't know that her young lady's soul flew to the Qingyuan Courtyard, and she didn't listen to what she said at all. After reading the post prepared by the eldest, she was unhappy: "In a few days, it will be the eldest's birthday. , Da Furen, a stepmother, should also ask questions, but Da Furen is staring at the outside, thinking about making arrangements to go to the Changxing Hou Mansion Flower Fair." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but burst into anger: "Changxing Hou The mansion's flower post was delivered to the door yesterday, and today I can't wait to run outside, for fear that others will not know, she is rushing to curry favor with the Marquis of Changxing mansion."

Although the Marquis of Changxing was an honorable and respectable family in the capital, the scholarly family of Yu Mansion was also a noble family. The eldest lady was afraid that she had forgotten that there was a patriarch in the family.

Yu Youyao laughed: "Because of the scientific examination, the capital has been quiet for a while, and there are not a few banquets. It is rare for Changxing Hou's mansion to hold a flower party. Yang's family is probably eager to show off, not only her, but also other families. So it is."

Yang Shuwan has always been a flamboyant person, and the housekeeper in the house is not going well, so she thought of showing it outside. In addition, when Yu Jianjia went out for the first time, she could not take care of it properly.

Yu Jianjia revealed her face, her mother's face was bright.

Xia Tao stared and rolled her eyes: "Miss San is a little older, can she still dress up like a flower? The most important person in the family is you who are 10 years old and walk outside justifiably. "

Yu Youyao shook her head: "It's appropriate to have Aunt Xu and Aunt Liu in charge of the birthday thing. Besides, it's just a small banquet between sisters, it's not too important, and I don't lack these things."

Xia Tao pouted.

Yu Youyao didn't want to talk more about this topic, so she showed the prepared post to her: "Go and get it to Mother Xu."

There are some contacts between Yu Mansion and various families in Beijing, but there are only three or four families who are really close and familiar, and there are not many sisters who are about the same age as Yu Youyao.
