All Hail Cousin Brother

And in the Qingqiu Courtyard, the fourth young lady Yu Qingning also lost her temper, resenting the old lady for being biased, jealous of Yu Youyao's favor, and the girl Jinju beside her, even after a long time of persuasion, she couldn't persuade her.

At this time, a little maid came in and poured a cup of tea for Yu Qingning: "Miss, don't be angry, where is learning the rules? As the eldest sister, if there is something good, she deserves to bring the sisters at home together." Yes."

Jinju couldn't help being taken aback, Yu Qingning rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but praise: "You have a flexible head, what's your name?"

The little servant girl was full of joy, and hurriedly said: "My servant Guizi."

"I'm short of a second-class maid by my side, and you are the only one." Yu Qingning said with a smile.

Guizi was overjoyed, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and thanked him repeatedly.

...

The dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing like to bring water into the garden, and the Yu Mansion is no exception. A lotus lake was built in the early years, and the lake is full of lotus, accounting for 30% of the mansion.

The Tiaoyu Courtyard is connected to the Lianhu Lake with clear water and the white stone arch bridge of the Han Dynasty.

But no matter if it's about the pros and cons, or the old lady's love for the eldest lady, this courtyard should belong to Yu Youyao, let alone the Tiaoyu courtyard was built by Xie's money.

After tidying up all day yesterday, Yu Youyao's things have been carried into the Yaoyu courtyard one after another, and some unimportant things can be moved slowly in the future.

Early in the morning, Mother Xu brought the maids and women into the Tiaoyu Courtyard to put things away.

Yu Youyao accompanied Mrs. Yu after breakfast, and helped Mrs. Yu to the Tiaoyu Courtyard.

Walking along the chaoshou verandah for a while, then turned two more roads, and arrived at Xiaoxiang Forest. There is a piece of emerald green light bamboo planted here. land.

The Yu Mansion is a scholarly family, so it is a must to plant some bamboo to show its literary spirit.

Passing by a thick bamboo, Yu Youyao saw a small hole in it: "Grandmother, in May, I will come to Xiaoxiang Forest every day to fetch bamboo leeks, and boil water to make tea for you to drink."

Bamboo bears the rain and dew of the sky and the earth, absorbs the aura of the sun and the moon, contains the essence of wind, cloud, thunder and lightning, nourishes the mind and delights the nature, and bamboo leek is the essence of it. It is called "Tianshui" by the world, which means natural nourishment.

Every year in May, Mrs. Yu would order people to drill holes in the bamboo to extract leech.

The rouge-red bamboo drain water trickled into the porcelain-white bowl, crystal clear and clear, with a faint bamboo fragrance, clear and mellow, with a hint of sweetness.

Old Madam Yu smiled with a chrysanthemum pattern on her face: "I'm afraid it's not because you are greedy, your eyes will make holes in the bamboo."

Yu Youyao blushed and pouted, "Grandmother is burying me again, so why not because I am filial to grandma and hope grandma will drink more bamboo juice so that she will be healthy and live a long life?"

The old man is getting old, and he likes to listen to filial and auspicious words the most. Mrs. Yu smiled happily.

Tiaoyuyuan is next to Xiaoxiang Forest, just enter the Moon Gate.

On the white stone arch bridge of the Han Dynasty, the clear water under the bridge is light, with scattered green weeds and some withered lotus leaves. An exquisite two-story courtyard building is hidden among an unusually tall green tree. The leaves of the tung tree are gone, and the new leaves are not yet born, but the thousands of branches are still elegant and beautiful.

Back then, Mrs. Xie spent a lot of money to repair the Waterside Pavilion, and also expanded the lotus lake, diverting water from the lotus lake into the hospital. Last year, Mrs. Yu changed the Waterside Pavilion into a "Tiaoyu Courtyard", and spent a lot of money on her own. The "Tiaoyu Courtyard" has been tidied up, and there is no place in the yard that is not meticulous, and there is no place that is not elegant.

After strolling around in the big courtyard, Yu Youyao helped her grandmother into the courtyard building where she lived.

There are two side yards in the east and west, a small kitchen in the east, a warehouse in the west, and Yu Youyao’s boudoir in the two-story building to the south. There are two side rooms on both sides, and two side rooms on the other side. The ear room, the right side is the place where the maids are on duty, and the left side is the water room.

Specializes in tea soup and so on.

There was some chaos in the room, and Nanny Xu brought her maid and mother-in-law to return.

Nanny Liu and Dongmei also brought people to help.

Yu Youyao was afraid that the servants would bump into her grandmother back and forth, so she took her grandmother out of the house and sat in an octagonal pavilion not far from Xiaoxiang Forest, where it was leeward from the wind and not very cold.

The little girl was still crying yesterday with snot and tears, and kept saying that she didn't want to move, but today she was smiling with excitement.

Madam Yu was both relieved and sad in her heart, and said with emotion: "You are really grown up."

Yu Youyao plunged into her grandmother's arms, coquettishly: "Even when Yaoyao grows up, she will always be your granddaughter. You can't stop loving me just because I grow up."

Hearing this sentence, Madam Yu felt melancholy in her heart: "After moving the yard, there will be not enough people in your room. I will let Nanny Xu choose some useful ones in the mansion. In addition, there are still people in front of you." If there is a lack of a big girl, let Dongmei take over, she is a little older than Chunxiao, and she can handle things."

Dongmei was originally the big maid she had prepared for Yaoyao, but she never gave it to Yaoyao, in order to let Nanny Liu carry more, so that she can use it more effectively in the future.

"Thank you, grandma." For the past few years, Dongmei has always been running between her and grandma's house, and Yu Youyao is not surprised that she can be known just by looking at the name.

The things in Yu Youyao's house are so many complicated and expensive things that Nanny Xu couldn't help but click her tongue after seeing the world. They all inquired about the reasons one by one, and finally moved into the Tiaoyu Courtyard for comparison and storage.

In the afternoon, the Tiaoyu Courtyard can be regarded as finished.

In the evening, Yu Youyao celebrated the joy of Xiaoqian.

I paid out the money myself, and asked the big kitchen to make a few tables of sumptuous noodles, and sent them to the main courtyard and the second room, and even the aunt in the two rooms also sent a few exquisite dishes. And a big table of sumptuous noodles, let them feel the joy of the master.

Yu Youyao also made a public post, and invited the brothers and sisters in the family to come over for a small banquet.

Yu Jianjia, Yu Shansi, Yu Qingning, and Zhou Linghuai in the first room, Yu Shanyan, Yu Shanxin, Yu Shuangbai in the second room, and several sons and daughters also came with gifts.

A total of eleven people gathered together.

Without the presence of elders, the young masters and ladies who have always behaved well don't need to carry it. Yu Shanxin, who has a quick temper, proposes to play word guessing games, and the loser is punished with a drink. The fruit wine made from plums is weak and not intoxicating, and it is enough to drink a few more glasses. The elders in the family will not be restrained on rare days.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this proposal came out, Yu Youyao would hold her small fists and chase him up and down the room like a monkey. The room burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very lively.
