All Hail Cousin Brother

This is the empress dowager's appreciation and expectation for graceful beauty.

It can be seen from this that the Empress Dowager attached great importance to being graceful, and Yu Zongzheng was also honored, so he had to mention a few words to his daughter.

Yu Youyao nodded: "Thank you father for teaching me, my daughter remembers it."

Yu Zongshen also smiled and said, "You should be rewarded by the Empress Dowager when you are a little older, so you shouldn't be too stressed, it's just as good as before."

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled: "Second uncle, I know!"

After saying a few more words, Mrs. Yu brought up Mrs. Cao, and brought Mrs. Changxinghou and Miss Cao Qi to the mansion to apologize.

Yu Youyao couldn't stay any longer, so she returned to the Jade Courtyard.

On the second day, Yu Youyao went to homeschool, and when he arrived at Yuzhong (10 o'clock), Liu Er came over to report: "Miss, Miss Song San of the Marquis of Zhenguo and Miss Qi Liu of the Du Yu Shi's family are here."

Yu Youyao hurriedly found Mr. Ye Nu and took leave, and returned to the Yuyu Courtyard.

At this moment, Song Wanhui and Qi Sining were chatting in the flower hall.

Seeing Yu Youyao's return, Qi Sining quickly put down the pastry he had just picked up: "Quickly bring me the palace silk that the Empress Dowager gave you yesterday, and it will also open my eyes."

Song Wanhui also said, "If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't easy to come to the door yesterday, I would have come to see it early in the morning."

Yu Youyao was a little speechless: "Co-author, you didn't come to see me, which made me happy for nothing. If I knew I wouldn't come back so soon, you should wait longer."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and told Chunxiao to get the palace sash.

Qi Sining laughed when she heard it, and turned her head to look at Song Wanhui: "Hurry up and listen to this, this Nier's style is also rising. It's all coming, and we have to wait a little longer."

Song Wanhui covered her handkerchief and laughed: "Who made her a decent person who got the Gong Luan, the noble girls in the imperial family are just like her."

The two of them sang together, but Yu Youyao died.

She stomped her feet and said, "Where are you like, you made a special trip to look for someone to be happy, and if you do this again, Gong Yan won't let you see."

Qi Sining and Song Wanhui couldn't help laughing again.

Even with the rewards and appreciation of the Empress Dowager, it is the same as before.

At this time, Xia Tao brought a porcelain-white bowl over.

The tender and raw jade tofu is soaked in the brown sugar water poured with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and there are bits of broken sweet-scented osmanthus and broken almonds floating on the top, which is refreshing.

Several of Yu Youyao's eyes lit up.

Xia Tao pursed her lips and chuckled: "The weather is sultry today, and Mama Xu was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, making osmanthus almond tofu, and putting it in the well before taking it out."

There is an ice cellar at home, but Xu Ma said that my sister is too young to be too cold, and ice can only be used in the dog days.

Qi Sining couldn't wait to take a small spoon and take a mouthful of sugar water.

Liang'er's sweet-smelling syrup, boiled to a thick, sweet sweet-scented osmanthus, rich bean fragrance, almond fragrance, once you put it in your mouth, even your hair is refreshed.

"It's really delicious," while saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Youyao and sighed: "There is no one who is more fortunate than you. When Mother Xu left the palace, my family also went to look for it. Yes, but Mother Xu didn't promise to come to my house, and my mother regretted it for a long time."

The last time for Yu Youyao's birthday banquet, Madam Xu made a chestnut yogurt, using red beans, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, etc., to make different flavors, the taste is really, indescribable.

Later, Qi Sining also asked Yu Youyao to ask for a recipe, and asked the cook at home to do it, but the taste of the recipe was not as good as Xu Mammy's.

"Isn't it?" Song Wanhui put down the small bowl, took the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth: "Cao Yingxue made a fuss with you for Mother Xu, and it's not wrong."

Who wouldn't want such a powerful mama.

Take a look at Yu Youyao's demeanor, self-restraint, and bearing, but anyone who looks at it arrogantly will inevitably feel a bit of comparison and jealousy.

When Cao Yingxue was mentioned, Qi Sining also had a complicated expression: "Have you heard? Mrs. Cao is going to bring Cao Yingxue to worship the ancestors of the Hui family."

Hearing this news, Yu Youyao couldn't help but stunned: "In the Hui clan?"

Song Wanhui sighed slightly: "If you say it's ancestor worship, I'm afraid it's just a face. It's true to send Cao Yingxue to the Hui family, but Mrs. Cao personally sent Cao Yingxue to the Hui family. , when this matter completely disappears, it is not impossible to return to Beijing."

Big families treat their daughters who have ruined their reputations harshly.

Like Cao Yingxue, it's already pretty good.

Yu Youyao lowered her head, and suddenly felt a chill all over her body. What she hadn't thought of before flooded into her head at this moment.

What if she was the one who was ruined in Changxing Houfu the day before yesterday?

It is true that her grandmother loves her, but just because she is not being pointed at in the capital, she will also agree to send her to the Hui clan. Once she returns to the clan, she is a bereaved eldest daughter, and even if she is loved by her grandmother, she is beyond the reach of the whip. What can happen?

Xingxu clan will take more care of her because of the 50% profit of her mother's dowry shop.

Because of her grandfather's family, she will also be lenient to her.

However, the direct, branch, and side branches of the clan are intertwined, and there are some small clans that are attached to the Yu clan. From the outside, it looks like a group of harmony. The children of the educated, from studying to entering the official career, all need huge resources, and the internal itself is also a competitive relationship.

How could she end up in such an environment?

Cao Yingxue is lucky, her grandmother is an old monarch, her father is a heavy soldier, her mother is a wife of Gao Ming, and her sister is a concubine.

Yu Youyao changed the topic with a smile: "Osmanthus almond tofu is complicated and laborious to make, so Madam Xu made it for the second time. If you like it, copy a recipe and take it away, and make it at home to eat."

Qi Sining and Song Wanhui responded quickly and did not continue the topic.

At this time, Chun Xiao came over with the treasure box containing the palace silk.

Yu Youyao took the treasure box and took the palace sash from the inside. Qi Sining and Song Wanhui hurried over to take a look.

Song Wanhui sighed: "The Great Zhou Dynasty valued Lantian as the honor, and Lantian valued the beauty of yellow and green. It's really unusual for the Empress Dowager to treat you!"

Qi Sining took it seriously: "Jade is virtuous, and the Empress Dowager praised you for being clean and virtuous, for being virtuous in your heart, and for being virtuous. It's obvious that she really took you into her eyes."

The two of them were amazed when they looked at Gong Suan, and it was not Gong Suan who praised him, but Yu Youyao.

Now, Yu Youyao also understands that the palace sash given by the empress dowager has become a symbol of her identity. In the future, no matter where she goes, whoever she meets, or who she sees, she must be like them first. Admire how decent this palace sash is.
