All Hail Cousin Brother

Nine years old this year, the second young lady, Yu Shuangbai, who is a month younger than Yu Youyao, approached Mrs. Yu, "Grandmother, do you still remember who I am?"

Yao shi stared at her angrily: "What are you talking about in front of grandma?"

Ignoring Yao's reproach, Mrs. Yu laughed "haha" and pulled her second granddaughter to sit beside her: "Who can I forget, can I forget you? She is a ghost like your elder sister."

Turning around, he took a palm-sized sandalwood box from Madam Liu and stuffed it into her hand.

Yu Shuang stuck out her tongue, and then put the box into the maid's hand, smiling and winking at Yu Youyao.

She has a lively personality, and she has the same smell as Yu Youyao. In the past, when they got together, they often climbed trees, dug out bird nests, and picked fire ashes to catch crickets.

Yu Youyao blinked back.

After greeting the old lady, Yao took Yu Youyao's hand affectionately: "Looks like you are in good spirits and complexion. It seems that you are doing well, but you have lost a lot of weight. You need to make up for it."

After finishing speaking, she asked the maid beside her to hand over a bunch of medicinal herbs and supplements to Chunxiao.

Yu Youyao quickly thanked her.

Madam Yu also nodded rarely: "You have a heart."

The second daughter-in-law is a decent and generous person, and the children are well-bred. With such a good wife, it is no wonder that the second official is prosperous and the more he sits, the bigger he gets.

Old Madam Yu glanced at Yang Shuwan, and put down the teacup she had brought down.

Zuoqian Du Yushi looked at the scenery, but if he wanted to go further, unless the emperor was extra gracious, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky, and he would not be able to move in this life.

They are both daughters-in-law, comparison is inevitable, Yao's got the praise of Mrs. Yu, Yang Shuwan's face is not very good-looking, and she wants to tear her handkerchief to pieces.

Even Yu Jianjia couldn't help but think to himself, the second aunt has exquisite faces and really good wrists, she is used to picking things out of the old lady's hands, so she couldn't help feeling a little envious.

At this moment, Yu Zongzheng and Yu Zongshen came in together.

Yu Zongzheng was in his thirties, with a handsome appearance, exuding a majestic and upright air. In comparison, the second uncle on the side was more elegant and noble.

The two greeted Mrs. Yu respectfully, and then Yu Zongzheng's eyes fell on Yu Youyao: "Yaoyao, you are not young anymore. What do you say if you are tired of being in your grandmother's room all day long? How many days do you study at home?" The Analects of Confucius, Women's Precepts, Women's Virtue, Female Reds, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, how much have you learned?"

Yu Youyao was taken aback for a moment.

The Yu Mansion invited a female gentleman to set up a family school to teach the young ladies in the mansion their talents. Yu Youyao went to a home school when she was seven years old, but she has an unruly personality and is not a person who can calm down and study. She fished for three days. After five days of posting on the net, after these three years, I really haven't learned anything seriously.

The grandmother also had a headache, and forced her to study for a while, but there was no effect. Seeing that she was really not a "talented girl", she didn't force her anymore.

Therefore, it has been a long time since she had been ill for a while.

Mrs. Yu felt sorry for her granddaughter, and said with a sullen face, "What are you talking about? It's rare for you to take a bath, and you know how to discipline your daughter. This is the reason for you to be a father? Yaoyao was seriously ill a few days ago, and I didn't see you caring about it. , stop using your official power at home."

After being scolded in public, Yu Zong was a little bit uneasy and disapproved: "Mother, don't spoil her too much, but raise her so that you don't know how important it is..."

These words clearly mean something.

Anyone present who was not stupid would understand that this was alluding to Yu Jianjia's fall and shock.

"Pa—" Before he could finish his sentence, Mrs. Yu slapped a small cup hard, and the teacup on it slammed and made a crisp sound.

Yu Zongzheng was startled, and was about to say something more, but Yang Shuwan frightenedly pulled him to stop him from continuing.

Madam Yu stared at Yang Shuwan sharply,

He said coldly: "Say, let him talk, I want to hear, what kind of wind did you blow on his pillow, to justify him, and the heart of Zuoqian capital censor, the emperor's ear, eyes and discipline department, is confused." Living."

Yang Shuwan's expression changed all of a sudden, she quickly shook her head and said, "Mother, you misunderstood, daughter-in-law..."

Yu Jianjia tugged on her mother's sleeve lightly, hinting that she should stop explaining, lest the descriptions become darker and the second room people would see the joke and lose face.

Yang Shuwan came to her senses, she lowered her head and dared not speak.

The atmosphere in the room became very solemn.

Yu Youyao sat down beside her grandmother, her father had always been very strict with her, and always favored her third younger sister, Yu Jianjia, on weekdays.

Although she is used to it, she still feels sad in her heart.

Thinking of her being locked up in the small courtyard of Zhen Guohou's Mansion in her dream, and her father treating her indifferently, as if she didn't have her daughter, she felt even more desolate and burst into tears.

At this time, Yu Zongshen smiled: "Yaoyao has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still weak. It will not be too late to go to home school when the weather is warmer. She is a girl, and she doesn't need to take the imperial examination. It doesn't have to be so strict to make achievements. "

"Jiajia is just recovering from a serious illness. She went to home school for the first few days..." Yu Zongzheng frowned. Jiajia is one year younger than Yaoyao. In a few days, I went to home school.

As a daughter, Jiajia has been smart, well-behaved and considerate since she was a child.

And Yaoyao is stubborn by nature, and she doesn't change after being taught. Before Jiajia fell and was frightened, although it was found out that it was the maid's fault, it was still because of Yaoyao's arrogance.

Old Madam Yu frowned upon hearing this, and was about to reprimand her when Yu Zongshen changed the subject: "It's getting late, Ling Huai should be here too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Liu led two people into the house.

Yu Youyao hurriedly lowered her head, squeezed the handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, raised her head hastily, and met a pair of dim eyes.

Looking at each other, Yu Youyao suddenly froze for a moment.

Fourteen or five-year-old boy, with a pale face, a gloomy and sickly color, wearing blue dark stripes straight embroidered, thin, a little lonely and thin, but his back is like a rock of a lonely mountain, tall and straight and handsome, revealing a precipitous and rugged appearance. state.

He was sitting on a beech chair, being pushed by a tall and thin boy in gray bunts, and the two big wheels were being pushed with a soft rumble.

The cousin of my aunt's family is really good-looking, even better than the older brothers in the family, but... Yu Youyao looked at his legs with curiosity in her eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

All eyes fell on the young man who had just entered the room, and when he saw his legs, there were unavoidable expressions of inquiry, examination, sympathy, pity, and shaking his head in regret.

The boy lowered his eyelids, and the hand resting on the armrest of the wheelchair trembled slightly, then gradually clenched.

Right here, a soft, waxy voice sounded next to his ears: "Grandmother, is this little brother a cousin from my aunt's family?"
