All Hail Cousin Brother

In this way, Aunt Qiu is really a useful person.

Mrs. Yu frowned, and said to Madam Liu in private: "I thought that Aunt Qiu was a smart and responsible person, so I invited the clan aunt to come here. From now on, I will go from house to house, and the clan aunt will mention it from the side. Lighting, taking care of it, it will be logical, and others will not underestimate our family just because Aunt Qiu is a concubine, but Aunt Qiu is not only smart, but also has a city. She has such a heart, I am afraid she is also ambitious. "

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "The old slave thinks that Aunt Qiu's status is a little lower, even in some cities, it's easy to handle."

This is the truth, and Madam Yu relaxed a little: "It's just that Aunt Qiu is pregnant, so she can't serve the boss. It's not good for the boss to go into the house all the time. It's against the rules. From now on, Aunt Qiu will help Yaoyao manage the house. I'm busy, and I can't serve the boss wholeheartedly, I still have to search carefully and find a concubine with a good family background for the boss."

If you think about it this way, you can't avoid taking concubines.

Although there are several common rooms in the family, and their appearance is decent, but their status is too low, and they haven't done anything for the eldest, so it's not easy to lift up my aunt.

Aunt Qiu was able to break the rules and mention her name because her ancestors were also from Shili family.

Within two days, Mrs. Yu approached Yu Youyao to mention this matter.

Yu Youyao had guessed this situation early in the morning, and just smiled: "I don't understand these things, and grandma has to come forward to solve this matter."

Knowing the child is like the mother, the grandmother has always known Yu Zongzheng's preferences, and she must choose someone who can make Yu Zongzheng look up to.

Mrs. Yu nodded: "Just choose a concubine from an official family. The status should not be too high, otherwise you will offend your regular wife and make others think that our family has a bad reputation for doting on concubines and destroying wives, but it can't be too low, so as not to humiliate you Father."

The new concubine came in, although her status was older than Aunt Qiu's.

However, Aunt Qiu is pregnant with a baby, and whether it is a son or a daughter, this baby can overwhelm the new concubine. Both of them are concubines, neither of them is more decent than the other, but it is appropriate.

However, this matter cannot be rushed.

At the end of August, the palace examination, which had been postponed for a long time, was finally released.

Early in the morning, the two families of the Yu Mansion were all dressed up, waiting to hear the news in the Anshou Hall.

Yu Shande couldn't wait any longer, and ran out early in the morning to read the imperial list.

The whole family waited anxiously.

Mrs. Yu couldn't even spin the pearls anymore. Seeing that there was no news from morning until noon, she couldn't sit still: "Why haven't our people come back yet?"

Mrs. Yao hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, old lady. Every time the list is released, it's as if all the people in Beijing are empty. Even ordinary people have to go to the bottom of the imperial list to have a look at the excitement. Maybe there are too many people. Look, wait a little longer."

The boy who went out to read the list at home went to Chang'an Street to wait for the posting of the imperial list.

Their family is like this, and other people's homes must be the same.

The imperial list is so big that you can't see it from a distance, and when there are too many people, it's not easy to get close to it.

Every three years, Mrs. Yu has to go through this, how can she not know about this, just doing it like this will inevitably make people anxious.

Yu Youyao handed over a cup of lotus heart tea: "Some people have been waiting for the imperial list until dark, and it's still early, so grandma drinks some tea to calm herself down."

Mrs. Yu hasn't finished her cup of tea yet——

The servant sent by the family to read the rankings ran into the Anshou Hall panting, probably because he was too impatient, he didn't stop his legs for a while, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

Madam Yu hastily put down her teacup,

"Suddenly", he stood up on the chair and asked quickly: "How is our family doing in the exam?"

The boy ran into the Anshou Hall from the door in one breath, panting out of breath, when the old lady asked Xu, how could he dare to delay: "I, my old lady..."

Because he was panting too quickly, he gasped again before he could finish a sentence.

Yao Shi was so anxious that she couldn't help stamping her feet: "What are you gasping for, the old lady is still waiting for you to speak."

Although no one in the mansion took part in the imperial examination, four of them from the clan took part in the imperial examination, which was also a great joy for the Yu mansion.

Anyone else would be in a hurry.

Yu Youyao hurriedly said: "Grandmother, Second Aunt, don't worry, wait until he catches his breath."

As soon as she finished speaking, the servant was already out of breath, and hurriedly said: "Old Madam, Second Madam, Eldest Miss, our family is very happy. Master De won the eighteenth place in the second class, and the young master won the seventy-sixth place in the second class." Name, Young Master Xing is number two and ninety-seven..."

The worst is also the 32nd in the top three!

Madam Yu was excited for a moment, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes: "Okay, okay, this time, four people from the clan entered the palace examination, and they are already burning incense. I didn't expect that they all ranked very high in the first list. There are three They are all within the top 100, this is really a blessing from the ancestors..."

With Yu Shande's ranking, he will definitely be able to select a concubine to enter the Imperial Academy, and maybe in the future Yu Mansion will produce another important cabinet minister.

The rankings of the others are also not low, and their future prospects are definitely not bad.

Only when the younger generations are promising can they protect the foundation of the ancestors and prosper the family.

Yao Shi hurriedly comforted: "The day of the title of the gold list, the time when Emperor Guangzong honored his ancestors, today is a very good day, and our Yu Shi's great day is yet to come!"

Old Madam Yu quickly pinched the veil, pressed the corners of her eyes lightly, and said with a smile, "I'm so happy. I'm old and my eye sockets are shallow, so I'm not as stable as you young people."

The talent of the Yu clan was declining, and it was only after the second child got the second place in the examination that she saw the hope of the prosperity of the Yu clan, so she spared no effort to plan for the second child.

Everyone thought she was too calculating, the eldest son was divorced from him, and the second son was also divorced from him.

But how could they know!

Before the old man died, he took her hand and confessed to her that he would let her raise her son well and honor his ancestors. It was not until she agreed that she swallowed her last breath.

At that time, she didn't know how heavy this dying entrustment and promise was.

Until she became a widow, guarding the huge house, but there was no one in the family who could support the family, and no one could support the family, so she could hardly move a single step.

At the most difficult time, some people in the clan even bullied her family's orphans and widows, wanting to share their ancestral property.

It was she who carried the tablet of the old man and ran to the ancestral hall of the Yu clan. In front of the tablet of Duke Zhonglie, she hanged herself by the neck. When she was rescued, she only had half her life left.

It was only then that the whole family was bluffed and a few old uncles were alarmed, and only then was the family business preserved.

However, the relationship between the Yu Mansion and the clan has also become estranged, and only she knows how difficult it is for a widow without the support of the clan.
