All Hail Cousin Brother

The Queen continued to laugh: "I inquired about the affairs of the palace earlier and invited a nanny to the Ai family palace. I heard that my daughter was old and she had pampered and raised her. She took advantage of the days of observing filial piety for her grandmother. , learn more rules and etiquette, and comfort my grandmother’s heavenly spirit to be more stable.”

The reason couldn't be more honorable. Anyone who heard it would praise Yao for being virtuous and polite.

But those who understand Yao will understand something extraordinary.

Is there anyone in the palace who has bad rules?

Why didn't you invite me earlier or later? Why did you wait until Yikun Palace opened the door? Then you tried every possible means to find out the doorway of Yikun Palace and invite her from Yikun Palace?

To put it bluntly, I was worried that the grandma I invited would not be as decent as the former "Aunt Xu", so Yu Youyao was put in a bad position.

After all, as the Queen, she is equal to the Queen Mother in terms of position.

Aunt Danhong blinked her eyes in understanding.

"Back then, Second Master Yu helped the imperial court lift the sea ban. Soon after returning to Beijing, Mrs. Yu was busy looking after Mr. Yu. At first, Mrs. Yu was not only interested in the Yao family, but later she chose the Yao family, who was still there at that time. The Yao family in the boudoir used the Yu Mansion to hold a banquet, invited all the sisters into the house, inquired about the whereabouts of Second Master Yu in advance, and asked someone to break up her [private] meeting with Second Master Yu. The Yu Mansion knew etiquette. People, this marriage will be a matter of course."

If a wealthy family wants to get married, it is impossible to only look at the middle family.

At that time, Second Master Yu won the second place in the rankings, and he also made meritorious service to the court. He was also extremely handsome. How many girls in the capital dreamed of being a husband? !

Even many senior nobles are eager to get married.

In wealthy families, every family will hold a small banquet when getting married, and invite daughters with suitable family backgrounds to come to the house, so that they can observe their character and talents. With more people, the sisters' upbringing will be invisible.

The reason why the Yao family was able to take advantage of the situation was because the second master Yu had a good relationship with his father. Yao's father collected a lot of books. In order to deal with the maritime ban, the second master Yu often visited the government to borrow books. When the Yao family left Yu As a result, he received a lot of courtesy from the Yu Mansion, which also gave the Yao family an opportunity to take advantage of.

This kind of calculation is harmless at first.

The Yao family's family background is not obvious, but the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony is very noble. Compared with his family background, what is more worthy of attention is Yao's father's connections in the court. This is the Second Master Yu who just entered the court for the first time. , required.

Rich families are very particular about marrying high and marrying low, so it seems that this marriage is suitable.

However, she felt that the reason why Yao was able to achieve his goal may not have been without Madam Yu secretly adding fuel to the fire.

But we can also see Yao's temperament from this.

The Queen Empress chuckled softly: "Even talking about marriage is such a big idea. I think she has a lot of thoughts. I also heard that this Yao family and the eldest sister-in-law were quite difficult to deal with. The reason why Uncle Yu was... The Yao family still contributed a lot to successfully remarry the Yang family. After the Yang family came in, she was suppressed by the Yao family in every aspect. There was no elder sister-in-law to suppress her, no sisters-in-law to make trouble, and even the elders did not need her. With you here waiting for you every day, Yao can be said to be invincible in the Yu Mansion."

Yang's father was Yu Zongzheng's senior official. Yang and his aunt came to Xie's Mansion to express condolences. They were all female relatives, and Yao had to know some of them. These two people came and went, and they also developed friendship.

Mrs. Yao often praised Yang Shuwan for her knowledge of etiquette together with other female relatives. Later, Uncle Yu continued to marry her for a hundred days. Others only thought that it was Mrs. Yu who fell in love with Mr. Yang, so Mrs. Yao, as a daughter-in-law, would show up in front of other wives. Praise Yang, make face for Yang, and pave the way for this marriage.

This was a matter of course and suppressed some bad rumors in Beijing.

After all, where does Mrs. Yu's reputation as a "chaste wife" lie?

Not to mention, Mrs. Yu has been ill for a long time, and her granddaughter has just been born. The east and west bedrooms of Yu Mansion are also divided into separate houses. Yao, the second daughter-in-law, cannot put her hands into her brother's room. For various reasons, some originally The unethical behavior also created a sense of necessity.

Reminiscent of this, Yao was overshadowed by his eldest sister-in-law when he first married into the Yu family.

If you say you don’t have your own little thoughts, no one will believe you.

Danhong didn't guess clearly for a moment what the Queen wanted to express, but she could tell that Mrs. Yu was not only a thoughtful person, but also probably not tolerant.

Then, the Queen Mother said: "Oh! You said these are all sisters from the same family. Why is there such a big difference? It is obvious that my daughter, as the legitimate daughter of the chief minister, is the most noble sister in the entire clan. Why? Just let the [eldest daughter of a widowed woman] born to a [merchant girl] be given so much respect and put her own daughter in every possible way?"

Dan Hong was horrified. Yao was really competitive, so he might really think so.

The Queen smiled: "You know what to do?"

Aunt Danhong quickly lowered her head: "We are all sisters from the same family. How can outsiders not compare them together? This comparison naturally involves good and bad, superiority and inferiority. No mother in this world can tolerate her daughter being treated by outsiders. Talking about it, even looking down upon it, the servant immediately sent the news out of the palace and ordered people to spread the news. Please don't worry, my queen, keep it for tomorrow, and the news will reach the ears of Second Lady Xie."

In fact, as the reputation of Princess Shao Yichang grows, the other daughters of the Yu family will also gain a good reputation.

But as Yu Shuangbai was the legitimate daughter of the chief minister, she didn't need a princess to make her famous.

The reputation of Princess Shao Yichang became more and more prosperous, and it was inevitable that she would overshadow Miss Yu.

The Empress nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, the script I arranged for Princess Shao Yichang will be changed to Miss Yu Er."

It is simply too easy to pick a "mother".

The Empress frowned and said: "But the content of this story needs to be changed again. As for how to change it," she thought for a moment: "I remember that Mrs. Yu met Master Huineng three times. Make an article on this."

Master Huineng is famous all over the world for his profound Buddhist teachings and proficiency in the art of physiognomy. He is also an eminent monk who has attained Taoism. His words and deeds are full of profound principles. He has closed his mouth many years ago and has not spoken out for many years.

If used well, this will become the biggest weapon in competing for reserves.

As long as the Yao family is willing to cooperate, there is no fear that the Yu family will not fall into the trap.

…

The Yu Mansion also got the news.

Surprisingly, the two bedrooms in the east and west did not show any sign. Although the old lady was still in Xiaoli and it was not suitable to hold banquets at home, it was a major event for the family's daughter to be honored like this, not to mention lighting up the lantern. After celebrating with colorful decorations, it’s time to sweep the courtyard and open the door.

Show off the lintel's glory.

He also expressed the emperor's great kindness.

Others passing by were surprised, but they just thought that the Yu family was used to keeping a low profile, and Mrs. Yu was in the period of mourning, so they couldn't help but praise: What a good family tradition!

Mr. Yao entered the room with a sullen face.
