All Hail Cousin Brother

The sisters were very happy and came to the Anshou Hall to greet Mrs. Yu. At a glance, several sisters gathered together to be a flower, and even the cold Anshou Hall became lively.

Yu Youyao gave her grandmother's newly made medicinal tea.

Yu Shuangbai used the medicinal tea sent by Yu Youyao to perform the tea-splitting technique on the spot, and nodded "Shou" on the tea soup, which made the old lady smile and open her eyebrows.

Yu Lianyu wrote a poem of five blessings and asked for auspiciousness. Mrs. Yu saw it and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. She is the best poetic talent. Even if she goes outside, she can compare with outsiders .

Yu Fangfei was so handy that she made a five-blessing-like hair band. The old lady was too old to wear a hairpin, and felt that her head was heavy and uncomfortable. This hair band was made of cloth. Very light, it can be seen that the youngest Yu Fangfei is also a clever and considerate girl.

Mrs. Yu laughed out the chrysanthemum pattern: "One by one, but you have grown up."

Until the Anshou Hall was quiet, the smile on Mrs. Yu's face did not fall, and she said to Madam Liu, "Look, everyone in the family can be on stage, whether it is temperament or talent. Great, when you are a little older and bring it outside, the good upbringing of the Yu Mansion should also be passed on."

The sisters in the family are well-bred, which is also the family style of the Yu Mansion.

Madam Liu followed with a smile and said, "Isn't it true? The second lady is well-bred, and the younger sisters are also very well-bred. The eldest young lady brings her sisters to learn together, and it also shows the demeanor of the elder."

These words came into Mrs. Yu's heart, and then she thought of Yu Qingning: "Unfortunately, Yu Qingning asked Yang to raise her temperament, made the boss spoil her temper, and made He Yiniang get used to her heart, otherwise she would be the only one. One-handed embroidery, it should be praised when it is said."

When Yu Qingning is mentioned, Yu Jianjia inevitably comes to mind.

"And third sister," Mrs. Yu pondered for a while, but she was only a nine-year-old child, and her expression revealed a bit of deliberation: "My heart is too much, and I am too selfish like Yang's. It is heavy, but temperament, but it is rare to be comprehensive, and even I can't see whether it is good or bad."

Madam Liu agreed, and smiled: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The sisters in the family are all outgoing and filial. Your luck is still to come."

Which old man is old and doesn't like lively things, the old lady has a less temperament, and the elder sisters in the family are more awe-inspiring than respecting her.

It was also during this time that several sisters in the second room often came to the big room to play with the eldest lady. They had to come to the Anshou Hall to say hello. It was also because of the eldest lady that the younger generation in the family also got a lot closer to the old lady. The mood is obviously a lot more open.

Yu Youyao returned to the Jade Courtyard and went to the incense room.

Just now in her grandmother's house, she saw a bunch of agarwood beads in her hand.

"Tianxianglu" contains many methods of making incense beads, so she wanted to make incense beads by herself.

The fragrance of medicine can only be used at home, and the fragrance of sachets cannot last long. Fragrance beads are often worn on the body, and can be worn on the hair, ears, neck, wrist, and waist. It is suitable for men and women.

Mother Xu smiled and asked, "What kind of incense is my sister going to do?"

Yu Youyao took the "Heavenly Fragrance Record" and turned to the section of fragrant beads: "Let's make Mushroom fragrant beads. The production of fragrant beads requires patience and ingenuity, and it is more difficult. I have never done it before. Innocent, quiet and light, refreshing, wearing it can make people feel relaxed and happy, and the mind is calm."

Qingfen came to Tianque one day, and ambergris did not dare to be fragrant in the world.

Mushroom is comparable to ambergris.

It was the first time to make fragrant beads, and Yu Youyao was worried that she would not be able to do it well: "Mummy just instructed me to make it."

Mother Xu nodded in response.

Yu Youyao took the dried sweet-scented osmanthus and ground it carefully.

Incense has a spirit, which are some simple incense recipes, but each person has different methods, different environments, and different moods of the people who make incense.

The sun shines through the hall, spilling into a bright and clean room, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus from light to strong, unconsciously, the room is full of fragrance, and the fragrance room is filled with a touch of sweetness.

When Mother Xu saw it, she couldn't help but nodded secretly.

As long as Yu Youyao wants to do anything, she can calm down and abandon all distracting thoughts, which is why she learns everything quickly and well. The little girl has such a rare character from the beginning, and was later taught by Zhou Linghuai. Calligraphy, schoolwork, and piano skills have thoroughly polished his temperament.

The dried sweet-scented osmanthus was ground into fine powder, Yu Youyao rubbed her slightly swollen arm, and took the fine sieve on the side to sieve the ground dried sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus.

Dried osmanthus powder should be mixed with agarwood, clove, amber, and borneol. She usually uses borneol and agarwood to make medicinal incense, and they are all ready-to-ground.

Lilac and amber need to be ground by Yu Youyao himself.

It will be an hour later when Yu Youyao will finish the grinding required for making the Mushroom incense.

Madam Xu brought her a cup of tea: "Next, I want Hexiang mud."

Yu Youyao just happened to be thirsty, so she took it and drank it. When the cup of tea bottomed out, she put the cup aside: "Mommy, what kind of water is better for Hexiang mud?"

Mother Xu said: "Did my sister have a few jars of snow water in the cellar last year? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the snow water is clear and cold. It will be a little sweeter and colder when used to combine the fragrant mud, and it will smell more refreshing. Some."

There is a small refrigerator in the Yuyuyuan, and there is a cold cellar next to it, which usually stores some things that need to be stored in the cellar.

Mother Xu went to the cold cellar to get a small bottle of snow water.

The hidden snow in winter is extraordinarily pure, and a wisp of coolness penetrates the heart. Yu Youyao added some spiritual dew water in it. After cleaning her hands, she kneaded the fragrant mud while slowly entering the water and beat the fragrant mud.

Repeat the kneading and beating action over and over again until the fragrant mud becomes soft and firm.

Yu Youyao began to knead the beads and knead the fragrant mud into beads the size of cherries. This is a process that requires ingenuity. Yu Youyao took a sharp wooden stick and carved patterns on the beads.

She cut two kinds of patterns, one is the "longevity" pattern and the other is the "blessing" pattern, and used a small skewer to dry it.

Madam Xu looked very satisfied: "Put it in a place sheltered from the sun to dry in the shade, and it will almost dry in two or three days. The rest of the work is more about ingenuity and patience, and it is also extremely grueling."

Yu Youyao originally planned to make more, but she asked Mammy Xu to stop it. There were only about fifty fragrant beads that were kneaded in the end, but it took three or four hours, and even the meal time was forgotten.

It can be seen how difficult it is to make incense beads.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Flower Fair in the Marquis of Changxing.

It was the first time for Yu Youyao to walk outside, and Mama Xu also paid special attention to it. She chose a green kesi pattern narrow-sleeved tube top skirt from the box.
