All Hail Cousin Brother

Remember in a second【】

"Jiu Min" has a long history. Although Xie's family is a merchant, the rules are not much better than that of a scholarly family. There is a family rule that does not accept concubines. Men in their forties have no children, so they can only divorce their wives and remarry.

The whole family is all direct relatives, and they have deeper ties than other families.

Not to mention, the ancestors of the Xie Mansion only had one daughter, Xie Roujia, who was an old woman. She was raised by a beautiful and precious family when she was young, and she was willing to marry Xie Roujia into the Yu Mansion because of Xie Roujia's respect for the Yu Mansion. The kindness, coupled with the rules of the Yu Mansion, is much greater than that of many other families. At least when Xie Roujia entered the Yu Mansion, no one would dare to treat her badly.

But never expected...

When the news of Xie Roujia's death spread to Quanzhou, all members of Xie's family went to the capital, if it hadn't been for taking into account that Yaoyao was still a baby, the two families might become enemies.

The Xie family wanted to bring Yaoyao back to Quanzhou, and it was she who invited the respected elders of the Yu clan to speak up, and she personally promised that she would not treat Yaoyao badly, and the Xie family could not twist her thighs with her arms, so this matter will not be resolved Of.

Old Madam Yu lowered her eyes, raised them again, and said to Xie Jingliu: "Recently, the court affairs are busy, and the elder and second masters can't get away, so let Yaoyao accompany them and have a good talk."

Xie Jingliu is a visitor, so there is no reason for the labor elders to stay at home and wait to greet them in person.

When the word "imperial court" was mentioned, Xie Jingliu's eyes moved slightly: "It can't be done because I missed the imperial court."

Mrs. Yu nodded, turned her head to look at the obedient granddaughter who was sitting aside, and said, "It's rare for your cousin to come here, so don't just sit here and invite someone to Tiaoyu Courtyard, greet you well, and talk a lot."

This move was in line with Xie Jingliu's wishes.

"Thank you, grandma." Yu Youyao was also very happy, and immediately took her cousin out of An Shoutang.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Yu ordered her servants to bring the gift slips, compared the gift slips, and delivered the gifts prepared by the Xie Mansion to everyone one by one.

The Xie Mansion has always been very considerate in doing things, so there will be no mistakes.

Everyone took a lot of presents, Madam Yu turned her head to look at Yang Shuwan, and asked, "How is the preparation for the afternoon banquet?"

Yang Shuwan mentioned the gifts that hibiscus and mulberry branches couldn't get, she was a little displeased, but she still smiled and replied: "Old lady, you can put your heart in your stomach, the daughter-in-law will get up and take care of it when she is in her womb, and you can't make mistakes in keeping it." .”

When the people in the house are gone,

Madam Yu went to the inner room.

A maid came to sweep the living room, and noticed a crack on the top of a certain teacup with sharp eyes.

The little maid was startled, and quickly called Bai Shao: "Sister Bai Shao, Master Zhou Biao's teacup has cracked somehow."

Bai Shao took the teacup in for a look, then called the people in the tea room, and carefully typed a few words: "...Master Biao is one of his own, so it can't be said that he is rude, if you can do things later, you must be more careful, and you must not be careless Go, there is no need to neglect the guests, and lose the face of the mansion."

Several maidservants in the tea room answered "yes" in trepidation.

But I was a little skeptical in my heart. The exquisiteness in this tea service was too great. They all went to the teahouse to work after being trained. They would check the tea sets carefully every day, such as teacups with missing corners, spouts, and ground bottoms. It is absolutely impossible to see people.

Today, a distinguished guest came to the mansion, so she worked more carefully.

The tea cup is obviously good, but why is it cracked?

It's really weird.

But thinking this way in my heart, I also made up my mind to be more careful in the future, so as not to make mistakes, and this decent job is gone.

In the inner room, Mrs. Yu said to Madam Liu: "The Xie Mansion has an ancestral precept that the children of the family are not allowed to be officials, but this young master of the Xie Mansion has discovered a talent for reading since he was a child, so let the old man Xie send him to Lu Dong The Wushan Academy in Wushan Academy originally wanted him to learn more knowledge, but this young master is also a capable person. He somehow managed to hide it from his family and took the imperial examination. It was not until Xie Jingliu was fourteen years old that he became a public servant. The Xie family didn't know about it Feeling, Mrs. Xie went to Ludong personally, took a whip, and whipped him for a block. He got a guarantee, so he didn't continue the exam, otherwise..."

The latter words were left unsaid.

But the meaning is clear, and Grandma Liu agreed with a smile: "When I saw this Young Master Xie today, this old slave thought that this man was free and easy and handsome, and he was a rare young talent in Beijing."

Old Madam Yu nodded: "Compared to Song Shizi, it's not too much. It's a pity that the Xie family has such family rules. Otherwise, with Young Master Xie Zhuyu in front, Song Shizi might be Mr. Xianyun's high-ranking disciple, and he wouldn't be able to surpass him." Xie Jingliu."

These words did not mean to belittle Song Mingzhao.

It's just that the two are of different ages, Xie Jingliu became famous first, and Song Mingzhao who is behind is a step behind no matter how amazing his talent is, it's not about talent and learning, but because of his age.

Grandma Liu didn't speak this time.

However, Mrs. Yu frowned: "At first I thought he was really rare, but after all, I never saw him, so I just thought others were exaggerating a bit. Now that I saw him, I knew that others probably knew very little about him. In this way, the Yu Mansion may have a deep meaning for such a well-known junior to come to Jingzhao in person."

In the past, it was just an ordinary visit to relatives, but seeing Xie Jingliu now, and seeing that his words and demeanor were full of ups and downs, he felt that it was not so simple.

Grandma Liu also lowered her head a little.

"Moreover, this time the merchant ship from the Xie Mansion was eight or nine days later than usual, which has never happened before..." Mrs. Yu pondered for a moment, pinching the Buddhist beads for a while.

I didn't think much about it before, but when I met Xie Jingliu, I always felt that it was unusual.

Mrs. Yu wrapped the Buddhist beads around her wrists, turned her head and told Mother Liu: "Tell people to go

^0^ Remember in a second【】

The yamen informed the elder master and the second master to let them return home earlier today. "

Zhou Linghuai turned the wheelchair out of the North Courtyard by himself, and Chang An followed closely behind, with his head lowered to his chest.

Xia Taoling ran over: "Master Cousin, Miss said that it is rare for a cousin from Quanzhou to come here. She is a little younger and she doesn't have enough entertainment, so she invited Master Cousin to accompany her."

As a companion, but it also reveals a sense of closeness, Zhou Linghuai's lightly pursed lips suddenly loosened: "Okay!"

Chang An, who followed behind, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now in the Anshou Hall, standing behind the young master, he could also feel the oppressive force emanating from the young master, and he didn't even dare to breathe. I can't come up.

It's just too scary!

Seeing Miss Biao leading the cousin from Quanzhou to go out happily, he saw that the young master almost crushed his teacup.

Can't help but sigh secretly!

I only see newcomers, but I don't hear old people crying.

Miss Biao is a direct cousin who came to Quanzhou, but she has forgotten about the young master, so it is no wonder that the young master is angry.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
