All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao was overjoyed, and quickly said, "Thank you, cousin."

Yin Huaixi froze for a moment, then suddenly realized.

After he came back from Youzhou, Yu Youyao seldom called him cousin, but she suddenly called out, as if they had returned to the old days of "brothers, friends and sisters respecting each other".

For a while, he was a little uncomfortable.

After getting the old lady's token, his biggest doubt was not the Xie's family as the "wife's family", but Yu Youyao herself.

For a long time, they have been called brothers and sisters. He deliberately blurred the boundaries between "cousins" and crossed the etiquette barriers of "men and women".

But Yu Youyao is still at the early age of Dougao, and she is still very ignorant about the relationship between men and women.

He was always worried that he was too aggressive and scared her.

She is even more worried that the change from "brother and sister" to "love" will make her unacceptable.

Therefore, I kept suppressing my feelings for her, and planned to get rid of the elders first, and then went to the northern border, and when I arrived at his territory, I was right in his hands, so I didn't worry about any changes.

Seeing that he kept looking at her without speaking, Yu Youyao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing her happy face, Yin Huaixi smiled: "If I had known earlier that the gift would please you, make you look good and make you happy, I wouldn't have waited until today."

No matter what, as long as she is happy.

Yu Youyao snorted softly: "Let's not talk about it, there are more guests who came to pay respects in the morning, so I will go back to the Xiaotang first, and my cousin remembers to send the ceremony to the Yaoyu Temple."

Yin Huaixi looked helpless: "Got it."

Yu Youyao returned to Xiaotang, and after a while, a servant girl came to report: "The Taoist priest of Qingxu Temple is here, and Young Master Zhou Biao and the elders have all come out to greet her."

Soon, all the people in the mansion, surrounded by a group of Taoist priests wearing blue Taoist robes and combing Taoist buns, entered the filial piety hall together.

Salute first when entering the house, and then offer tea after the salute, this is the most basic way of hospitality.

After finishing the formalities, the leader, Daoist Xu Ming, couldn't help but look at Yu Youyao a few more times.

The patriarch who accompanied him,

After noticing this, he couldn't help asking: "That's the eldest sister in the mansion, what advice does the Taoist priest have?"

Daoist Xu Ming withdrew his gaze, and said: "This girl is beyond words."

The head of the sect was stunned for a moment, suppressed the shock in his heart but was hot, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know why you said that?"

It is said that Master Huineng is good at fate, but Master Huineng's fortune-telling technique is still taught by Taoist masters. Taoism pays attention to the five arts of mountains, medicine, fate, divination, and fortune-telling. People dare to call it one, let alone Xu Ming Daoist, who has obtained the Tao in the Qingxu Temple.

Daoist Yu Ming shook his head: "Unspeakable!"

After finishing speaking, he took a teacup and drank tea. The top-quality Biluochun was fresh and sweet, which showed the sincerity of the Yu Mansion in hospitality. general trend.

This is a secret that cannot be leaked.

It is unspeakable.

Their Taoism is orthodox, and they always pay attention to hiding when they are prosperous, and coming out when they are chaotic.

Otherwise, why would he go to Yu Mansion himself? !

The patriarch felt regretful, but Daoist Xu Ming's secretive attitude was too obvious, and he couldn't be bothered to ask, but the words "expensive, unspeakable" still made him ponder.

Yu Zongzheng is now in power, and Yu Youyao is both a concubine and an elder, and she has also been named the head of Shaoyi County. The old lady has not yet arranged a marriage for her. Maybe there are other arrangements in the palace. After all, throughout the ages, the daughter of a foreign minister , Daughters who enjoy the title of clan, basically marry into the royal clan in the end.

Whether it is the royal family or the powerful clan, they can all be called "expensive".

After the patriarch received the Taoist priest, he hurriedly asked the old patriarch to mention the matter.

The old patriarch pondered for a long time: "I remember, the old lady went to Master Huineng of Baoning Temple to give her a fortune teller, and she also said similar things."

When Yu Youyao was young, she almost gained a reputation as a criminal. The family naturally had to intervene in such a big matter. At that time, they felt that Master Huineng's order was good, but Yu Youyao didn't show her heart in the past, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

The Zongzhang hurriedly asked: "Look, what should we do?"

After all, he was a little bit aggrieved when his daughter returned to the Xie Mansion, but now that he knew that her life was precious, he couldn't calm down.

The old patriarch frowned: "So what, after all, she is the daughter of the Yu family, and she has the surname of the Yu family. She treats you as you usually do, and treats you as you would in the future. As long as you don't treat me badly, it's better than anything else. You are the leader of the clan. How should I treat the clansmen, what else do I need to teach?!"

"Take good care of your one-acre three-point land, so that the daughters of the family can have a good future. When they come to the husband's house in the future, they can stand in the husband's house and help the clan in turn."

"You have to make it clear that the father's family supports the married daughter. No matter where she is married, this is the case. Even the empress in the palace needs the strength of her natal family. Only in the palace can she gain power. Don't put the cart before the horse."

After learning the lesson, the patriarch didn't dare to think about whether it would be good or not: "The old patriarch taught the lesson well."

The Taoist priests sat around the coffin and told the scriptures for the old lady.

Yu Youyao had just knelt in front of the coffin when she heard a young servant calling out: "The Marquis of Zhen Guo is here!"

After a while, I saw the Zongzhang brought Zhen Guohou, Song Mingzhao, and the other three men in the house into the filial hall to worship Mrs. Yu, and offered incense.

Yu Zongzheng hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Zhen Guohou sighed lightly, and patted Yu Zongzheng on the shoulder: "Let's mourn by the way!"

Song Mingzhao subconsciously glanced at Yu Youyao, she was wearing a filial piety dress, her face was haggard, her slender figure had grown a lot, she hadn't seen her for several months, she was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away.

Song Mingzhao couldn't help but said, "Please pass on my condolences."

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment, took a step forward, bowed and saluted: "Thank you!"

Hearing her slightly hoarse voice, Song Mingzhao was no longer spitting and spitting in the past, as if someone had sandpapered his heart, he was very uncomfortable.

Song Mingzhao said: "Grandmother Yu's first seven days have passed, and the funeral needs to be done for another two or seven days. From today onwards, I will come to Yu Mansion to help every day."

After the death of a loved one, the first seven days are when the family grieves the deceased relatives. During these seven days, no matter how much grief or loss of manners, it is not too much.

On the second seven days, people in the family have to rectify their mood and prepare for saying goodbye to the deceased. Relatives and friends who are close to each other will come to help.

Yu Youyao was not surprised: "There is Song Shizi."

Song Mingzhao's heart was pierced by the polite attitude, so he could only say: "You, take care of yourself, so that Grandma Yu can leave with peace of mind."

Yu Youyao just responded in a low voice.

After seeing off the male guests, the female relatives of Zhen Guohou's Mansion also came.
