All Hail Cousin Brother

Qing Xiu listened and sighed.

The old lady clearly didn't mean it that way, but the eldest lady is a delicate heart.

Madam Liu also smiled deeply: "That's not true, the old slave has been with the old lady for most of her life, and she often makes mistakes in this ceremony. The eldest lady must not study it carefully."

Although the words were pleasing to the ears, Yang Shuwan was still unhappy in her heart, and she said calmly, "Then you can watch from the sidelines and ask me if you don't understand."

Yu Youyao nodded and sat aside while listening to Yang Shuwan and Madam Liu discuss together.

After listening for a while, Yu Youyao pointed to the gift list: "Mother just planned a pair of tangled peony flower trays from the previous dynasty, but the flowers are very rich and auspicious. What's the point of this pair of jade pots and spring bottles?"

What's the point?

Xie Mansion sent a pair of Ru kiln bowls, but Yu Mansion has a set of Ru kiln tea sets, which are comparable. Logically speaking, this set of tea sets is just right, but Ru kiln is a precious thing, and it is lost. How could she be willing to give such a good thing to the Xie Mansion for nothing?

They used a pair of precious but not so rare jade pot spring bottles instead.

When Yu Youyao asked, Yang Shuwan was stunned for a moment: "This pair of jade pots and spring bottles is very precious, and there is a jade word in it, which also means wishful thinking."

The reason was far-fetched, and Yu Youyao nodded.

Madam Liu, who was on the side, heard Xian Xian knew Ya's intentions, and understood what the eldest lady meant: "If you have a pair of blue and white flowers, it's not easy to make another one, so you can replace this pair of spring bottles with something else?"

Yang Shuwan was a little unhappy, and Mama Liu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Yu Youyao smiled and said, "When I took stock of the public school before, I saw a pair of purple-banded jade Ruyi, similar to the jade pot and spring bottle.

The purple belt jade is pure and rich, but it is very rare. It is much more valuable than the jade pot and spring bottle, but it is worse than the Ru kiln.

Next, Yu Youyao really brought the essence of the word "learning" into full play, pointing to the gift list and asking some questions from time to time.

Madam Liu's eyes flickered.

The questions raised by the eldest were all intentional or unintentional omissions by Yang Shuwan, but the eldest grasped the size and did not make Yang Shuwan feel bad.

Will do things and be people.

But it really allowed Mother Xu to teach her personal essence.

Half an hour later, the gift list was drawn up, and Yang Shuwan was also bleeding, so she couldn't be happy, and said coldly, "If there is no problem, let someone prepare it."

Mother Xu nodded, and Yu Youyao also returned to the Jade Courtyard.

When Yang Shuwan was making the gift list, she was thinking about taking advantage of the loopholes, trying to save face and decency, but she didn't care about her inner feelings. No wonder her grandmother was worried, even if she looked at it, she was angry.

But after thinking about it, where did her successor and Xie Manor come from?

To do so is understandable.

When she was making the gift list just now, she asked some big questions in a veiled manner. Madam Liu understood her thoughts, and even though Yang Shuwan was unhappy, she could not refuse to go.

Even so, the return gift prepared by the Yu Mansion was a bit too well-organized compared to the Xie Mansion.

After being so busy for a long time, it was time to apply.

Yu Zongshen took the lead in leaving the yamen, changed his official uniform and came to the big room.

When Xie Jingliu got the news, he had to come over to see the elders.

Seeing him, Yu Zongshen's faint smile became stronger: "I wanted to take a day off, but the yamen really couldn't get away, but he neglected Xie Yue."

Xie Jingliu's word is slanted moon, only close elders, relatives and friends will call the word directly.

Back then when he went to Quanzhou, he met Xie Jingliu by chance, and got to know Xie Jingliu. Xie Jingliu was a little older at the time, and when he heard that he was the second-ranked member of the imperial court, he pestered him for advice.

Xie Jingliu was a very big kid. He was a rare talent in the world. He was delighted to see it, and he inevitably got closer. He had close contacts with the Xie residence, but the one who had the best relationship was the older Xie Jingliu.

It is also for Xie Jingliu's sake that the Xie residence will help him a lot.

Xie Jingliu's expression was indifferent: "Uncle Shi is serious, and visiting the door today is already a nuisance."

Even a fool can see the cold attitude. Yu Zongshen held the tea cup and lowered his eyes. The tea in the cup was fragrant, and his eyes were covered: "Is the old man still healthy? Are the old man and the old lady okay?"

Xie Jingliu smiled sarcastically and said nothing.

Yu Zongshen was silent for a while: "Back then..."

Xie Jingliu interrupted him: "After King You's conspiracy was brought to trial, the court was not very stable. When I went to Beijing this time, my great grandfather felt that there was going to be chaos in the capital, and asked me to secretly transfer some of Xie's business to the most important ones. Back to Quanzhou," he smiled silently, and after a while, he said, "The old man asked me to tell you, so you can do it yourself."

After speaking, Xie Jingliu stood up and saluted Yu Zongshen: "It's a rare trip to Beijing, so I'll go to the Yuyuyuan to talk to my cousin first."

Before Yu Zongshen could speak, he had already left the door.

After he left, Yu Zongshen's face was calm, with a usual smile on his lips. With a wave of his sleeves, the cups and dishes on the table were spilled on the ground, and the sound of "clang" echoed in the silent room.

Even if it is anger, it does not change its color.

"Xie, Rou, Jia!" A low, inaudible voice escaped from the lips where he sucked the smile, which turned into a wry smile.

No one in the house knew about this episode.

It was not until You Shizhong (18:00) that the eldest master, Yu Zongzheng, returned to the mansion with a whole body of official power, apparently he did not listen to Mrs. Yu's message.

Yu Zongzheng first went to Anshoutang to greet the old lady: "Today I am busy with affairs in the middle of the court, but I can't get away from it, so I couldn't go back to the mansion earlier."

Mrs. Yu sneered in her heart, the second child and a cabinet minister can go back to the mansion during the Shen Shi, and he, a censor, can be busier than the "Old Pavilion"?

But he didn't take Xie Fu into his eyes, and because of Xie Roujia's death, he was timid, and even seeing the people from Xie Fu was embarrassing for him.

Mrs. Yu didn't say much, just waved her hand: "Just come back."

Yu Zongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the yamen was busy, it would not be impossible to get away from it. Some official duties were brought home to deal with, and they were also ordered.

It's just that he didn't like interacting with people from the Xie Mansion, so he felt that when the Xie Mansion came back, there was a yellow-white stench in the whole mansion.

My mother didn't know what she was thinking. Every time a merchant in Xie's house came back, he had to work hard and let him go back to the house early.

Xie Jingliu is a junior, why should he let go of court affairs?

As soon as Mrs. Yu took a look, she guessed what he was thinking, and sneered again in her heart: "Your daughter-in-law has arranged a table, even if you look at your daughter-in-law's face, you should know the importance."
