All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 178: Reciprocation

Remember in a second【】

After hearing this, Qingxiu sighed secretly.

The old lady clearly didn't mean that, but the eldest lady is an exquisite heart.

Grandma Liu also smiled deeply: "That's right, the old slave has been with the old lady for most of her life, and she often makes mistakes in this ceremony, Missy must learn carefully."

Although the words sounded good, Yang Shuwan was still unhappy in her heart, and said in a neutral way: "Then just watch from the sidelines and ask me if you don't understand."

Yu Youyao nodded, sitting at the side and listening to Yang Shuwan discussing with Mother Liu.

After listening for a while, Yu Youyao pointed to the gift list: "Mother just drew up a pair of peony flower plates with twining branches from the previous dynasty, but the flowers bloom very richly and auspiciously. What's so special about this pair of jade pots and spring vases?"

What's the point?

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

So I used a pair of rare but not so rare jade pot spring bottles instead.

When Yu Youyao asked, Yang Shuwan was stunned for a moment: "This pair of jade pot spring vases is very expensive, and there is a jade character inside, which also means wishful thinking."

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

Nanny Liu at the side heard the strings and understood the meaning of the eldest lady: "With a pair of blue and white flowers, it's not easy to make another one and replace the pair of spring vases with something else?"

Yang Shuwan was a little displeased, and Grandma Liu kept silent while smiling.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Yu Youyao smiled and said, "When I was taking inventory of my husband before, I saw a pair of jade with purple sash, just like jade pots and spring vases. They are also very wishful, and it is decent to take them back as a gift."

The purple daisy jade Ruyi is pure and rich, but it is very rare. It is much more valuable than the jade pot and spring bottle, but it is not as good as 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.

Grandma Liu's eyes flickered.

The questions raised by the young lady were all Yang Shuwan's intentional or unintentional omissions.

But the eldest lady grasped the size, and didn't make Yang Shuwan feel embarrassed.

Can do things, but also be a person.

It really made Mother Xu teach me how to be a person.

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

Nanny Xu nodded, and Yu Youyao also returned to Yaoyu Courtyard.

Yang Shuwan tried to take advantage of the loopholes when making the gift list, but she didn't care about the inner feelings. It's no wonder that her grandmother was worried, even if she watched from the side, she was angry.

But after thinking about it, where is the favor between her stepmother and the Xie family?

It is understandable to do so.

When she was making the gift list just now, she asked some general questions cryptically, Liumama understood her intentions, and she was playing with her temper, but Yang Shuwan was not happy, so she couldn't refuse.

Even so, the return gift prepared by the Yu Mansion was a bit too formal compared to the Xie Mansion, it was not surprising, and it would not make people pick mistakes, so it was not bad.

After working so hard for a long time, it was time to apply.

Yu Zongshen left the yamen first, changed his official uniform and came to the big room.

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

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

Xie Jingliu's word is Xieyue, and only close elders and relatives will call Biao directly.

At the beginning when he went to Quanzhou, he got in touch with Xie's mansion by chance, so he got to know Xie Jingliu. At that time, Xie Jingliu was a little older, and when he heard that he was the second place in the imperial court, he pestered him to ask him for advice.

Xie Jingliu is a big kid, a rare talent in the world, he was delighted to see it, and he inevitably got closer. He has many contacts with Xie's mansion, but the one who has the best relationship is the half-old Xie Jingliu.

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

Xie Jingliu said calmly: "Uncle Shi is serious, visiting the door today is already a nuisance."

Even a fool could see the indifferent attitude. Yu Zongshen took the teacup and lowered his eyes. The fragrance of the cup of tea engulfed his eyes: "Is the old man still in good health? Are the old man and the old lady all right?"

Xie Jingliu smiled sarcastically, but said nothing.

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

Xie Jingliu interrupted him: "After King You's treason was dealt with, the court was not very stable. When I went to Beijing this time, it was because my grandpa felt that there was going to be chaos in Beijing, so he asked me to secretly transfer some of Xie's business to an urgent return. Quanzhou," he laughed silently, and after a while, he said: "The old man asked me to tell you so that I can take care of myself."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jingliu stood up and bowed to Yu Zongshen: "It's a rare trip to Beijing, I'll go to Tiaoyu Courtyard 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 teacups and dishes on the table spilled all over the floor, and the sound of "clang" echoed in the silent room.

Even if it is angry, it will not change its color.

"Thank you, Rou, Jia!" A low, inaudible voice escaped from his smiling lips, and the smile turned into a wry smile.

This episode, the government

^0^ Remember in a second【】

No one here knows.

It wasn't until Youshi (18 o'clock) that the great master Yu Zongzheng returned to the mansion with his official authority, obviously he didn't listen to the words sent by Mrs. Yu.

Yu Zongzheng went to the Anshou Hall to pay his respects to the old lady first: "I am busy with court affairs today, but I can't get away, so I couldn't go back to the house earlier."

Mrs. Yu sneered in her heart, the second child, a cabinet minister, can return to the mansion during Shenshi, and he, a censor, can be busier than "Ge Lao"?

But he didn't take Xie's mansion seriously, it was because of Xie Roujia's death that he was timid, even the people who met Xie's mansion made things difficult for him.

Old Madam Yu didn't have much to say, she just waved: "It's fine when you're back."

Yu Zongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the yamen is busy, it is not impossible to get away from it. Some official duties can be taken home to deal with.

However, he has always disliked interacting with people from the Xie Mansion, because he felt that when Xie Mansion came back, the whole mansion would be filled with a yellow and white stench.

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

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

Old Madam Yu took a look and guessed what he was thinking, and sneered again in her heart: "Your wife arranged the dinner, even for your daughter-in-law's sake, you should know the seriousness."
