All Hail Cousin Brother

Suddenly, Yao's face turned even uglier, listening to Caiwei continue to say:

"Mrs. Jiang said that the eldest lady is not in the capital, but the palace has received the emperor's favor and cannot neglect it. She plans to hold a family banquet in the main room tonight. Considering that the old lady is still in the mourning period, there will be no drinks. , meat and fish, make it vegetarian and meat, please ask the second lady to bring some girls from the second room over in the evening."

When Mrs. Yao heard this, she was immediately furious: "What should we do? The old lady is still in mourning period, how can the family prepare a banquet? Even if it is a vegetarian banquet, it is also a banquet. If it is spread out, it is rare for others to say it."

"Yu Youyao has been granted the title of chief. How can she, a junior, surpass the old lady?"

"She is the daughter of a foreign minister. Even though she has been granted the title of eldest, she is not a serious member of the Tian family, so she should keep a low profile."

Aunt Qian frowned, she was really speaking without restraint.

Even though the old lady is in mourning period, she cannot stop the great event of honoring the ancestors. Even if it is difficult to hold a banquet, she has to hold a banquet. What can outsiders say about this matter?

The eldest lady is a junior, so it is true that she cannot surpass the old lady.

But in terms of status, the eldest lady is recorded in the clan jade plate, and her position is higher than that of the old lady. Showing the lintel of the family to express the emperor's great grace, what does this have to do with whether the old lady is an elder? The old lady is under the influence of Jiuquan, doesn't she hope that her family will be well? This is not a conflict at all.

It's true that the eldest lady is the daughter of a foreign minister, but there are so many noble daughters in the clan, so why don't you see other people and be named "chief", so that the eldest lady can get the honor?

She is the only princess in the three generations of the Zhou Dynasty who has been granted the title of eldest daughter. This unique honor, no matter whether it is from the palace or the clan, who else can compare with it except the Queen Mother and the Empress?

She is not a serious member of the Tian family, but the title is not adulterated at all. Fortunately, the eldest lady is not in the capital. If she were in the capital, no matter where she went, the destined wife of the capital would be given to Shao Yi according to her own rank. When the princess of the princess bows, the concubine who is lower than the third rank must also kneel down and bow.

If what Madam just said were spread outside, and someone disrespected the "Princess Princess" and despised the royal family, I'm afraid everyone in the palace would be punished.

Aunt Qian quickly smoothed things over and said to Caiwei: "Just say that Madam is feeling a little unwell. Wait until evening and ask some of the brothers and sisters at home to go there together."

As soon as Jiang received the news about the second wife, she sneered: "Someone has pink eye. Not only is she physically unwell, but she is probably even more uncomfortable mentally. Let her go. After all, the old lady is gone, and the second master Ding You is still in the clan. Who can care about it?" Get on top of her."

They are both legitimate daughters with a decent upbringing. Although their family backgrounds are not as good as each other, who doesn't know who is the other?

Who else could stand in Yao's position and still feel comfortable in the face of a powerful and honorable niece who suppressed her daughter so much that she couldn't even lift her head?

If Yao could still be calm, she would admire Yao.

It's not like she's not jealous.

But as a step-in-law and her family background was there, she didn't even have the right to be jealous.

Jiang changed the topic: "What did the master say?"

The maid hurriedly replied: "The boy who went to the Yamen to deliver the letter said that I have official business at the Yamen and will be back later tonight. It is up to you to decide what happens at home."

But Jiang understood it. To put it nicely, he would come back later. To put it bluntly, he would not attend the family dinner.

This is how it is for an aunt, and it is still the same for a biological father. This big family in the Yu family is really interesting.

For other people, when a sister in the family receives such great honor, the first big thing is to open an ancestral hall, pay homage to the ancestors, and then open the courtyard.

How many secrets were hidden in the Yu Mansion, a deep and powerful family, was not something she could explore as a step-wife with only a concubine to support her and no children by her side.

Jiang felt it was boring and said: "Instruct the big kitchen to cook more good dishes. There will be a special meal in the house tonight. Each person will be given a reward of 500 yuan, so there will be no banquet."

The fourth sister in the big house was really in bad shape. Not long after the eldest daughter went to Quanzhou, Yu Qingning begged her father to let her out of the yard and continued her homeschooling. She became a lot better behaved and knew how to act nice in front of her father. , I learned the tricks of Miss Yu San, and painted tigers and dogs in a nondescript manner.

Pian Yu Zongzheng liked this very much.

It was as if the guilt and love for Yu Jianjia were transferred to her.

Behind the scenes, relying on his father's love, he didn't even pay attention to her as a stepmother, and asked her to deal with it secretly several times, which made her a little more honest.

Yu Qingning has a bad relationship with her sisters at home.

Mr. Yao is not here anymore. The brothers and sisters in the second house are not restrained by their elders, and there are no sisters in the main house to be considerate. It is better not to do anything, so as not to make Yu Qingning cause trouble. This is a great thing. She became no longer human inside and out.

…

In the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, Mrs. Song also heard the news that the Queen Mother had conferred the title of Princess Yu Youyao and Shao Yichang. Her spirit suddenly withered and she slumped on the couch, as if she had been drained of all her strength.

Wei Zi was startled and quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

After Mrs. Yu left, the old lady also felt a little uncomfortable. The prince was sent to Dehua, Quanzhou. Originally, he was rushing to make great achievements. However, Quanzhou was plagued by Japanese invaders and the city was sealed. News from outside could not be sent in. The news inside could not be conveyed, and the old lady was restless in eating and sleeping all day long.

It's really worrying.

Mrs. Song waved her hands and couldn't even drink the tea. She covered her chest and moaned: "Ouch, I feel really uncomfortable!"

Wei Zi quickly helped the old lady hold her chest.

Mrs. Song felt so exhausted that she simply slumped on the couch: "I have seen it before. Yaoyao is a talented person. She has been thinking about her since she was a child. With a blink of her eyes, she has been thinking about her as an adult."

The Song and Yu families were family friends, and she also knew a little about Yaoyao's situation at home.

But despite this, the child was neither pampered by his grandmother nor suppressed by his father and stepmother, which made him cowardly and generous.

He looks childish, but he is a rare person with a bright mind.

The aristocratic family values ​​etiquette, rules, and talent, but what they don't value most when looking at people is what's on their faces and can be seen at a glance.

These can only show family upbringing and cultivation, but often do not represent a person's true character. Through the words and deeds of sisters and children, the elderly can see the character and character displayed behind them.

Rules, etiquette, and talents are not unimportant, but they are all considered last. A wealthy family can't fall behind on the rules. Even if they fall short, it doesn't matter. It's not too late to find an old nanny to teach them better.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Song felt even more uncomfortable: "I originally thought that it was my burden to shave my head, and my head was hot, so in the first few years, I often used excuses to communicate with the Yu Mansion. The two families had close contacts. Ming Zhao usually stayed at the Mansion. Here, I often hear things about Yaoyao, and I will inevitably pay attention to it under the subtle influence."
