All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Jianjia was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing Cao Yingxue's "giggling" smile, he opened his mouth to read a poem: "Yun wants clothes and flowers to look like a face, and the spring breeze blows the threshold to reveal Hualong. If it is not for the jade mountain top, I will meet Yaotai under the moon."

As a result, Yu Jianjia bit her lip lightly, but she couldn't rush to explain, so she smiled and said, "Miss Lu Wu is bright and generous, and it was just like seeing the moonlight in front of Yaotai Palace when I first saw it. The goddess who shines under the light, this name can be regarded as the moon shines on the water, complementing each other."

Although it was a compliment, Fifth Miss Lu was indeed good-looking, and there was also a colorless concubine Lu Huang's concubine from the Weining Hou Mansion, so it didn't seem deliberate.

Being praised for her beauty, there is no one who is not happy, even Lu Mingyao, who is holding it, can't help laughing: "You two are trying to find my happiness."

Cao Yingxue and Yu Jianjia looked at each other and smiled.

"Which one is your eldest sister?" Lu Mingyao was a little curious, stretched her neck and looked around, but she didn't see any girl who stood out, so it wasn't very good to be the eldest sister of Yu Jianjia's family.

Yu Jianjia shook his head: "Eldest sister's birthday will be in a few days. I have to take care of it at home, and I don't have time. She won't come out today."

Cao Yingxue was outspoken and naive: "Your eldest sister's birthday should be handled by your mother. Why did you come out with your mother, but she was not available?"

Yu Jianjia lightly pursed her lips, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face, and smiled: "Grandma loves eldest sister, and naturally she has to take care of it herself. Mother doesn't want grandma to be tired, so it's not good to stop her. , Going out today, in addition to buying clothes for the flower party in the Marquis of Changxing Mansion, it is also looking for a decent birthday gift for the eldest sister, the eldest sister's tenth birthday should not be ignored."

Lu Mingyao's eyes flashed slightly.

Cao Yingxue curled her lips. She had always heard that Yu Youyao, the eldest young lady of the Yu family, was raised by her grandmother since she was a child.

Yu Jianjia tried her best to cover up for her eldest sister, but no one was a fool.

On Yu Youyao's birthday, the stepmother is in charge, which is justifiable, but Mrs. Yu did not let her stepmother touch her hands. Not only did the stepmother dare not stop her, she also rushed to the street to find gifts for her stepdaughter, for fear of neglecting it.

When noon arrived, each family received an invitation from Yufu.

Song Wanhui, the third young lady of the township, happily took the invitation and came out of Mrs. Song's house, where she met her elder brother Song Mingzhao, who was going to greet Mrs. Song.

Song Wanhui doesn't get along much with her brother, but they are close: "Big brother, you are finally willing to come out of Baoning Temple."

The family was so complicated that it was not clean every day. My grandmother was worried about disturbing my eldest brother's studies, so she donated a small courtyard in Baoning Temple, and my eldest brother often went to Baoning Temple to stay for a while.

This time, I went to the Buddha's Day, and I didn't return to the mansion until today.

Song Mingzhao nodded, and his eyes fell on the invitation card in her hand. The pink and white post, Liao Liao and a few spring apricots, Xiao Shu has a certain style, from red to white, to flourishing to withering, quite a bit bright: "This is it?"

Song Wanhui looked down at the post in her hand: "Oh, this is an invitation from the Yu residence just now. Miss Yu's birthday is a few days later and she invited me to be a guest at her house, and my grandmother agreed."

Song Mingzhao's expression froze, and he thought of the picture of the little girl in a plain brocade dress standing under the green linden tree, making a wish and throwing brocade on the day of the Buddha's Day.

The little girl is young, and her figure is also very slender. When she stood on tiptoe and cast the brocade, her wicker-like waist was gently folded back, and the end was slender and graceful. Glittered, with a delicate color.

He lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers against the broken jade on the longevity knot: "I remember that Miss Yu seems to be a year younger than you?"

Song Wanhui didn't think much of it, her grandmother loved Miss Yu, and she often mentioned some of Miss Yu's words, and the relationship between the Song and Yu families was also close, and it was normal for the eldest brother to know: "My birthday is in June, and Miss Yu is in April. , who happens to be ten months older than her."

Miss Yu is also ten years old this year, Song Mingzhao nodded.

Song Wanhui held the invitation and was a little distressed: "Grandma told me not to be neglectful, but I am a little distressed and don't know what gift to give Miss Yu."

She also said something casually, and didn't plan that her indifferent brother would take care of her.

Unexpectedly, Song Mingzhao really understood: "I have a pair of Jinyu pendants in Hotan in my house, one yellow and one red two koi, together they form a double fish round pendant, and when they are taken apart, they become two jinyu cangs, which are also my daughter's home. It's not easy for me to wear it out, but it's also suitable for you to give it to Miss Yu."

Song Wanhui's eyes lit up: "Thank you eldest brother."

Song Mingzhao gave a faint "um" and left.

Song Wanhui looked at her eldest brother's usually indifferent back, shook her head, and secretly thought that she was thinking too much, how could she think that her eldest brother would pay too much attention to Miss Yu.

The invitation was sent out, and Yu Youyao didn't care about other things.

At noon, Yu Youyao practiced calligraphy alone in the study, but couldn't calm down, so he simply threw away the pen and took a copy of "Spring and Autumn" to read.

This "Spring and Autumn" was given to her by her cousin. The top is densely packed with annotations written by her cousin. The rope head is very neat and small, and it can't hide the muscles and bones. There are translations, interpretations, and words to condemn. The sentences are easy to understand, explain the profound things in a simple way, and the words and sentences are all original and unique.

At a glance, you can tell that this book "Spring and Autumn" has spent a lot of time on my cousin.

After turning over two pages, Yu Youyao couldn't read it anymore, she put down the book, held her cheeks, and sighed.

Seeing the girl's listlessness, Chun Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why don't you go to the Qingyuan Academy to find Young Master Biao? Didn't you say before that you want to play chess with Young Master Biao?"

It really is which pot can't be opened and lifted, Yu Youyao rolled his eyes and waved his hands weakly: "I won't go looking for my cousin today, I'll stay for a while."

Chun Xiao was stared inexplicably, and was a little surprised.

In recent days, Young Master Biao didn't go to school, Miss Biao's birthday was approaching, and he didn't go to home to study. He went to Qingyuan Academy to accompany Young Master Biao every day, worried that Young Master Biao would be bored alone.

Yu Youyao picked up the "Spring and Autumn" on the side and looked at it. He really couldn't read it, so he put away the "Spring and Autumn" and picked up the guqin on the shelf: "Go, go to practice the piano under the Qingwu tree."

Chunxiao immediately set the incense case.

After Yu Youyao burned the incense and cleaned her hands, she sat under the Qingwu tree and only played one syllable, but she didn't want to play it anymore. She managed to finish a piece of "Pingsha Falling Wild Goose", which was also scattered and out of tune.

I played it to my cousin before, and my cousin said that he played it well, but now my brain and my hands are not obeying.
