All Hail Cousin Brother

He even guessed inexplicably that in his vague dream, he must have done something bad to Miss Yu, causing Miss Yu's confidante to die early.

But!

What puzzled Song Mingzhao was that he admired Miss Yu very much, so how could he hurt her?

This question still troubled him to this day.

Involuntarily, he began to pay attention to Miss Yu and inquire about all the news related to her.

At the end of the time, Song Mingzhao bid farewell.

Mrs. Yu asked someone to prepare cinnamon tea, which was used for fumigation in the house. After being improved by Yu Youyao, she added the fragrance of frankincense, and gave some gifts for the year.

Adding up the odds and ends, I returned a half-carriage gift.

Song Mingzhao sent most of the car, and brought back the special products in Beijing from Jiangnan. The Yu Mansion was not stingy, and also returned the fragrant medicines and tea medicines that everyone in the Zhenguohou Mansion liked.

On the second day, Grandma Liu went to Zhuangzi to pick up Yu Jianjia in person.

Yu Youyao originally planned to go there in person.

Old Mrs. Yu refused: "It's cold and freezing, the road is not close, you are still young, how can you go outside to suffer from the cold, you can just go by yourself, the end of the year is approaching, this time You have been busy preparing for the New Year's ceremony for a few days, you are already busy enough, even outsiders won't say much."

The usual affairs in the mansion can be left to Aunt Qiu. Although she is pregnant, she has the help of her clan aunt and mother Liu, so she doesn't feel tired.

But no matter how capable Aunt Qiu is, she can't help with preparing for the New Year's ceremony and rituals.

The first rules and etiquette here are to take the list of people who are usually friends with each other in the Yu Mansion, and then find out the list of the other party's annual gifts from the previous year, compare them, and then add or subtract as appropriate, not only to reflect the etiquette of reciprocity .

Whether the head of the family is virtuous or not, others will have a good idea after reading your gift list.

The expression of the gift list is the core of dealing with people and communicating with people.

Yu Youyao didn't insist, so she said, "Mrs. Liu in my yard is a decent person. I usually take her with me when I go out. Let Mammy Liu bring her with me, so I can feel more at ease."

It's freezing cold, and Yu Jianjia's health is not very good, so bringing a few more people with outside experience can help him deal with it.

Old Madam Yu laughed when she heard that, "It's still you who think carefully."

There are not many old people like Mrs. Liu who have a lot of experience in going out and can handle it.

Yu Youyao smiled, and discussed with Mrs. Yu about returning the gift——

"Last year, on the gift list sent by the Qi Mansion, there was a Jingdezhen sky sapphire jug petal spring bottle. It’s almost the same, our family should follow last year’s practice when preparing for the ceremony.”

Mrs. Yu twirled the beads and said nothing.

Boxing gifts are given every year, and the gift list is compared with the past, and the value is also adjusted according to the price.

Every year's festival, except for some changes in things, the value and weight are also the same.

Yu Youyao continued: "Only in rainy days can the best azure glaze be fired. This year's weather is hot and dry, with little rain. There is especially little Ru azure in the market, and its value has increased, so it is not suitable for this ceremony." , This dynasty is still red, and the Spring Festival is a festive day, why not change it to an underglaze red jade pot with spring vases from the Jingdezhen kiln? The pure and bright underglaze red is also very rare."

Madam Yu smiled, this is the essence of gift giving.

This year's azure glaze is more expensive than rare, and its value is nearly half higher than in previous years.

Sending Ru Tianqing is a clear loss.

Even with the friendship between the Yu and Qi families, this Ru Tianqing is also a gift.

But what is important in gift giving is the word "li", not the word "expensive".

You gave an expensive gift, if someone else's gift is not as valuable as yours, once this gift is taken out and compared with each other, wouldn't it just make people feel inferior and embarrassing?

Sending "expensive" things is not worthy of praise, it is not worthwhile in dealing with others, embarrassing others, and neglecting one's own etiquette, it is thankless.

Madam Yu nodded again and again: "Underglaze red is good, not only in terms of value, it is equal to last year's Ru Tianqing, even in color, it is also very pleasing."

In the days of Chinese New Year, every family is looking forward to prosperity.

Just for this color, other people will not have any objection.

In the afternoon, Yu Jianjia returned to the mansion.

Because of the fact that Yu Jianjia had contracted the cold before, Mrs. Yu was worried, so she immediately took the sign and invited Doctor Hu to come into the mansion to diagnose and treat Yu Jianjia.

The Yu Mansion is generous, and it's not a difficult family. Even when the new year is approaching and the weather is freezing, Doctor Hu is willing to make this trip.

After the diagnosis and treatment, Doctor Hu smiled: "During this time, Miss San is in good health, and the dosage of the medicines in the prescription can be reduced. I will re-prescribe the prescription for Miss San. It is suitable for nourishing and nourishing in autumn and winter." Body, how did the third miss raise it before, and it will be better to continue to raise it in the future."

I didn't mention the wind and cold, so it doesn't matter if I think about it.

Madam Yu was naturally happy, because the New Year was approaching, the Yu Mansion not only gave the doctor money, but also prepared a New Year's gift, and sent it to Doctor Hu's carriage.

It seems that Yu Jianjia will go to Zhuangzi to rest again after the end of the year.

Although the reputation is not good, if Yu Jianjia can really take care of his body, it doesn't matter. After all, a prostitute is always sick, and it is not good for the reputation of the house.

Every household is bustling with excitement, preparing for a good new year.

The entire Yu Mansion was covered with red lanterns.

However, on New Year's Eve.

Reports came from Zhejiang that since autumn and winter, Japanese pirates have frequently harassed the border and plundered ships at sea.

However, because of the Song Xiuwen case, all the officials in Zhejiang were in danger, and the sailors were also fluctuating. A small group of Japanese pirates attacked Taizhou, broke through the defense of the Taizhou navy, and caused the Japanese pirates to enter the city to burn, kill and loot. Supplies were looted, most of the inner city was burned...

The news seems to be a bit rushed, and I specially picked the day of New Year's Eve to come here, deliberately not to let people have a good New Year's Eve.

Immediately shocked the ruling and opposition parties!

The courtiers didn't even care about New Year's Eve, and they all wore court clothes and entered the palace.

Japanese pirates come and go, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of crimes have always been the confidant of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty formed a navy to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates. Over the years, a large amount of military power and money were invested in order to fight against the Japanese pirates and the pirates colluding with the Japanese pirates.

However, it is not easy to train a navy, and it is also very difficult to fight at sea. The Great Zhou Dynasty also went through more than ten years, and the anti-Japanese and bandit wars have achieved results.

There are courtiers at the moment. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Japanese invaders have infested the coastal areas and robbed several provinces. They burned, killed and looted everywhere they went.
