All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 464: Banquet

The old lady used to be sick, and walking a few steps made people tremble with fear, worrying that if she didn't catch her breath, she would die.

It was also after Madam Xu entered the mansion that Yu Youyao developed her skills. Not only did she serve herbal teas every day, but she also prepared herbal meals specially prepared by Zhao's mother for whatever the weather, season, and what to eat.

This does not raise the spirit.

There is no greater decency than a good medicinal diet served on the table.

Yu Youyao agreed with a smile.

A group of people discussed for nearly an hour before they settled on the table: "A table of eighteen dishes, three soups, plus two seasonal health-preserving medicinal meals, with a combination of meat and vegetables..."

Mrs. Yu was listening from the sidelines.

Mrs. Yao is an elder, so naturally he has to be reserved.

Yu Youyao was younger, and her mind was more delicate. Both of them were smart people, and they discussed with each other. Not only were they generous and decent, but they were also very careful at the table.

If she had to do it by herself, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to do it like this.

Seeing Yu Youyao's clever mind, Yao Shi smiled and said, "Here is another matter for you to handle, so don't feel too hard."

Yu Youyao smiled: "Second Aunt will just take orders."

Hosting banquets is a common task for the eldest and second wife. If she can do more, she will do more.

Yao Shi is also not polite: "The tea, snacks, fruits, snacks, etc. on the day of the banquet are all arranged by you, and you can also bring Shuangbai. She is greedy and can always find tricks in this regard. It might help if you think about it.”

Yu Shuangbai, who couldn't get in the conversation, mumbled.

I always feel that I am connoted by my own mother.

Yu Youyao readily agreed: "Fifth and Sixth Younger Sisters will also come over to help. When the time comes, we can ask Nanny Xu to help. There should be no problem. Second Aunt can rest assured."

For such a big matter, Yao Shiyuan was really worried about entrusting Yu Youyao to do it, but she felt that she was smart enough to take care of it, and she could just keep an eye on it when the time came.

Now, as soon as Yu Youyao mentioned Nanny Xu, she was really relieved: "That's a good thing, it must be appropriate to have Nanny Xu to help manage it."

Nanny Xu's ability is obvious to all, not to mention Yu Youyao's changes, the old lady's health has improved, that's what Nanny Xu taught Yu Youyao.

There is a banquet in the mansion, and it would be better if Madam Xu could help out, but Madam Xu is not a servant in the mansion, and even the old lady can't handle it well, so naturally she won't be in trouble.

Yu Youyao opened her mouth by herself, but she was sure that Nanny Xu would agree, so she was naturally happy to see it.

As for Lianyu and Fangfei, Yu Youyao didn't dislike them for their young age and was willing to take them with them, so she naturally had no objections.

Once everything has been arranged, the next step is to work hard.

Mrs. Yao called Yu Shuangbai over again: "Grandma Liu wants to arrange the personnel affairs in the mansion, so you can learn more from her side, and your elder sister wants to arrange the refreshments, so you have to help too. You can't be greedy for fun."

During this period of time, Yu Shuangbai has improved a lot, her schoolwork has improved by leaps and bounds, and the rules and so on are also in style. She can also learn the skills of a housekeeper with Grandma Liu.

Yu Shuang puffed her face and agreed.

Considering the small number of people in the family, Mrs. Yao transferred some staff from Zhuangzi, Mrs. Yu also took care of it herself, and Mrs. Yao and Yu Youyao also helped with the work.

The family was tossing and turning, and they were so busy that their feet never touched the ground.

Until the 10th day of September, the Yu Mansion cleaned the front yard early in the morning, and the mansion gate was wide open, ready to welcome guests.

over there with the men,

It was Yu Zongzheng who brought the people named Yu Shande on the gold list to welcome the guests at the Chuihua Gate, and Yu Zongshen brought his eldest son Yu Shanyan to greet the guests in the room.

On the female guest's side, Mrs. Yao took Yu Shuangbai to meet the guests outside, while Yu Youyao and the Seventh Aunt from the clan greeted them in the yard.

Just arrived at this corner, the Zhen Guohou's Mansion was the first to come to the door.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou's Mansion and Mrs. Yu's Third Mrs. Yu Miaofu, one on the left and one on the right, supported the people from Zhen Guohou's Mansion and came together. Song Wanhui and several sisters in the family also followed.

Yu Youyao immediately went over to greet her, and after paying her respects to the elders, she asked, "Grandma Song, why did you come here? How can I help you with our family's matters?"

Mrs. Song said unceremoniously: "It's not that your family is small. The second lady Yu cares about this, so she will inevitably lose the other. There are so many people, so there are too many right and wrong. Come here to help town. Anyway, it's delicious when you come to your house." Serve me deliciously, and I won’t be too tired to go.”

Mrs. Song and her grandmother are well-known in Beijing, and they are all elders with high morals and high prestige. With them sitting in the mansion, today's banquet will be smoother.

Yu Youyao hurriedly took him to the guest house.

When the two old people met, they were very happy and had a lot to say.

Yu Youyao continued to entertain the guests.

At this time, the people from Qi Mansion came.

Mrs. Qi also came over together. The relationship between the two families has always been close, and they probably had the same thoughts as Mrs. Song, and came to help the town.

When Mrs. Qi saw Yu Youyao, she was so rare, she was obviously a guest at someone else's house, but she immediately touched the sea-green bracelet on her wrist, and put it on her wrist without any explanation—

"Good boy, you look more and more like your mother, and your temper is as sharp as your mother's, but it's really good. The medicinal tea and medicinal fragrance you sent before are all very good things. I like them." It's on."

Family friendship, although it can be considered in terms of closeness, but those who can get together are basically gourds on a vine, and other families are also indispensable when giving gifts to the Zhen Guohou's Mansion.

Yu Youyao hurriedly said: "I originally made it for my grandmother to take care of her body. I saw that the effect was good, so I sent some over there. Grandma Qi likes it."

Mrs. Qi knew that she was busy, so she didn't pull her to talk too much.

All the way to the guest house, when Mrs. Yu saw her, her smile deepened: "You old bastard, why are you here?"

Mrs. Qi looked at Mrs. Yu with a smile: "I haven't received an invitation from your family for three to five years. It's really rare. Why don't I come and have a look."

Mrs. Yu also guessed what she was thinking when she came to the town hall: "I can tell you, our family is run by only one daughter-in-law, and even the half-grown granddaughter has to help welcome guests, but I don't have time to entertain you."

As soon as I heard this, I knew that the relationship was very good.

Mrs. Qi gave her a blank look: "I'm not like you two who are indifferent, I can take care of myself."

Mrs. Qi is the oldest, but she is also in the best health.

Yu Youyao also ordered the little maid who brought tea and water: "Madam Qi Xijie, teacups, bowls and saucers, etc., if you need to use utensils, you must replace them with brand new ones in front of her. Old Madam Qi likes red hearts and irons. Guanyin, Qingxin's Tieguanyin, she doesn't like to drink, so don't make a mistake, choose the old-flavored one first, Mrs. Qi..."
