All Hail Cousin Brother

Yao Shi thought it was strange, so she asked with a smile, "Look at the happy expression on the old lady's face, but if there is something good in the family, tell me quickly so that I can also feel the happiness."

Old Madam Yu smiled and waved her hand: "I can't tell, I can't tell. After a while, you will naturally know."

Yao shi rolled these words into his heart, and then he recalled it, and his smile suddenly deepened: "It can be seen that this is a big happy event. Since the old lady doesn't say it, I won't ask."

A smart and interesting person, Mrs. Yu narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Yu Shanyan quickly stepped forward and greeted Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu looked at her several grandchildren, all neatly arranged, all polite and governors. Thinking that the big house will soon have a baby, she couldn't stop her smile.

Mrs. Yu first asked about Yu Shanyan's schoolwork.

Yu Shanyan is the eldest son of the second room, and he is responsible for Guangzong Yaozong and prosperous family. Mrs. Yu is very concerned about his schoolwork.

Yu Shanyan said, "The eldest sister is also studying the Five Books and Four Classics at home. Cousin Zhou wrote an annotation to the eldest sister, so he borrowed it and copied it and learned it again. The master said that he has made great progress."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shanxin couldn't wait to say: "Not only the eldest brother, but also the third brother and I have improved a lot in our studies. During this period of time, sir, he didn't catch and train me like before..."

Mrs. Yu suddenly thought of it. In the past, Yu Shanxin was eccentric, didn't like to learn, and was often taught by Mr. Hushan, so she couldn't help laughing.

"Your cousin Zhou is a capable person. It's good to learn more from him."

But he thought in his heart that Zhou Linghuai's talent was praised by Mr. Hushan, and he was on the same level as Mr. Xianyun.

Mrs. Yu has also read the annotations he wrote.

It is indeed unique and incisive, and even the other grandchildren in the house also benefited from it.

Mentioning Zhou Linghuai, Yao shi asked, "By the way, Linghuai has been in Youzhou for almost two months. Did he say when he will come back?"

Mrs. Yu shook her head: "At the beginning of the month, my family received a letter from him, only mentioning that everything is fine in Youzhou, and I will stay in Youzhou for a while, but I didn't say when to come back. Wait until the tribunal is over."

Yao Shi was a little regretful: "It's a pity, this is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after Ling Huai entered the Yu Mansion, and Ling Huai is not at home on the great day."

Mrs. Yu also regretted: "It's also impossible, but the days to come are still long, not this year, and next year."

Yao Shi thought about it, too!

Zhou Linghuai went back to Youzhou this time to make a complete severance with the other side. From now on, he will take root in the big house. They are all a family. There will be many opportunities for reunion in the future, not just today.

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yao were chatting about family affairs.

Yu Shuangbai came to Yu Youyao's side and looked at the big sister eagerly: "Big sister, the fruit you sent to the second room is delicious!"

The Xie family sent a cart of fruits to the eldest sister. The eldest sister was also generous. She picked up a big basket and sent it to the second room.

This year, the fruits were scarce and precious, so my mother kept half of the basket for home eating, and the other half was given away.

Seeing her greedy look, Yu Youyao couldn't help laughing: "If you like it, I'll send you a basket later, there won't be any more."

Cousin sent a big car, there must be a lot of them, but the Shandong rebellion, the fruit is very expensive, it is not easy to take too much, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Yu Shuang's white eyes lit up: "Thank you eldest sister, eldest sister is Mid-Autumn Festival today, we will go to fold lanterns in a while, and go to the lake to set river lanterns at night." Worried that Yu Youyao would not agree, she hurriedly pulled Yu Lianyu next to her: " Fifth and sixth sisters both agreed, but the eldest sister can't refuse."

Yu Youyao nodded: "Okay!"

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Yao supported Mrs. Yu and took the family to the second room.

Yu Youyao made arrangements for everything in the big room, and it was also very appropriate to have Madam Liu and Madam Xu present.

The imperial examination was completed at the end of April, and the rankings have not been released until now. Yin Huaixi led the army to suppress the rebellion, and there is still no news. The joint trial of the three divisions also reached a critical time.

There are various complexities in the DPRK, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, all this will be finalized.

It was after a day off in the courtroom. Yu Zongzheng and Yu Zongshen, one was the second assistant in the cabinet, and the other had a case file, went to the yamen early in the morning, and would not be able to return until the afternoon.

Therefore, the small banquet at noon is also lively eaten by the female family members and juniors of the family.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Yao accompanied Mrs. Yu for a while, and then went to arrange a dinner party. Yu Youyao didn't go to help, and folded lanterns in the yard with Yu Shuangbai.

A few sisters laughed and joked, and it was time for You.

Yu Zongzheng left the yamen, changed into his regular clothes, and came to the second room to greet Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu was not in a hurry to tell him about Concubine Qiu's pregnancy, and planned to mention it to him after seeing Langzhong tomorrow.

Yu Jianjia lived in Zhuangzi for three or four months. He came back for several days. Yu Zongzheng was busy these days and did not talk to Yu Jianjia properly.

Now that I have time, I have to ask her more about Zhuangzi.

Yu Jianjia answered one by one.

Yu Zongzheng saw that her complexion was good and her spirit was better than before, and she was also relieved: "Thank you for your big sister, you can take care of your body, she is helping you take care of it."

Yu Jianjia couldn't help but squeeze the veil tightly: "After my mother's illness was serious, it was the elder sister who took care of my daily life. I don't even know how to thank her."

The words were very sincere, and people listened to them, and it was also regarded as her gratitude and respect for Yu Youyao, which rose to the same height as her mother.

Yu Zongzheng has no dissatisfaction: "Your big sister treats you well. In the future, you must treat her with respect, get close to her more, and learn the principles of dealing with others."

Yu Jianjia slowly lowered his head and responded.

Only the trembling eyelashes revealed the restlessness in her heart.

It was getting dark, and people lit lanterns, and the yard was brightly lit.

Yao Shi set up an incense table in the yard, with a censer, and some fruits and cakes for the moon.

When the full moon slanted the osmanthus branches, the whole family moved to the yard, and the tables were all set. Mrs. Yu and Yu Zongzheng had a separate table, and the others were husband and wife, brothers, and sisters.

Chrysanthemum wine and autumn crab are unique.

The chrysanthemum wine that the juniors drink is all made from rice wine. One or two glasses of wine are suitable for the occasion and are not intoxicating.

Yu Jianjia held the small wine glass in both hands and said to Yu Youyao: "Big sister, I am not very healthy, and the big sister has been taking care of me, so she replaced the wine with tea, toasted the big sister, and expressed her gratitude in her heart. This cup Wine toast to you."

After speaking, he drank the tea in the cup.
