All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao did not hide the secret decree of the Queen Mother from the Xie Mansion. She ignored Yin Huaixi's various schemes and the marriage became more logical.

Therefore, when Yin Huaixi asked Yu Youyao to go on an outing together, Wang happily took over all the trivial matters in Yu Yuan and came over early in the morning to provide support.

When everything was ready, Yu Youyao went to see Wang.

"We are pretty, we are already grown girls." Mrs. Wang looked at her with a smile in her eyes, and held her hand happily: "It's rare to go out to play, so we have to have fun, but don't think about home. There are always people in the mountains. Snakes and insects are infested, so you should carry insect repellent powder with you, pay more attention to safety, and never leave alone..."

After explaining the safety issues, she also explained some things that need to be paid attention to when her daughter's home is outside, and what things should be avoided when men and women travel together, all in detail.

Yu Youyao listened carefully, not leaving Yin Huaixi behind every word.

Only then did she realize that the person she was dressing up to see was not the former "Cousin Zhou" or the "Nineteenth Brother" in name only, but the fiancé who had been given a marriage by the Queen Mother.

Her heart felt like it was twisted, and she suddenly felt a little awkward. She lowered her head subconsciously, and listened to whatever her aunt said, like a yes-man.

After chattering and chatting about a cup of tea, Wang changed the subject and said, "King Wu Mu is waiting in front of the Chuihua Gate. Let's go over!"

Yu Youyao was finally freed from this embarrassing embarrassment and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She took Wang's arm and the two of them talked and laughed before arriving in front of the Chuihua Gate.

Four low-key-looking carriages were parked inside the hanging flower door.

Yin Huaixi stood aside waiting for her. He took off his heavy armor and changed into a very rare haze blue suit with a sky blue cloak.

As if the east is white, the moment the sun jumps above the horizon, the sky suddenly appears, dispelling the gray haze, which makes people's eyes bright.

There is a kind of elegance and elegance as simple as clouds.

The feet that were taken out couldn't help but retracted to the bottom of the skirt again, and Yu Youyao paused.

When Yin Huaixi saw her coming, he couldn't help but look startled, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. However, due to the presence of his elders, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He quickly lowered his eyes and stepped forward to say hello to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang did not accept this gift, and turned sideways to avoid it. She only confessed: "Yaoyao is a filial child. After her grandmother passed away, in order to honor her filial piety, she has been living in seclusion at home and rarely goes out. The old lady and the others are always worried about her young age. Year old, I have been bored at home like this, and my body is exhausted. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is rare that Your Highness is free. I asked Yaoyao for an outing, so I asked Your Highness to take more care of Yaoyao. Yaoyao is young, and she was not that big before. If there are any imperfections in etiquette when going out, please be more considerate and tolerant, Your Highness."

Don't think it's just a polite word, but when you break it open and mash it into pieces, you'll find that there's a lot inside.

First, I mentioned Yu Youyao's filial piety, and then mentioned Mr. Xie, which was a sign of Yin Huai's seal. You should pay more attention to propriety in everything, and you must not mess up the rules just because you have a close relationship with Yu Youyao.

The last sentence seemed to be worried about Yu Youyao's mistakes in etiquette.

But in fact, he was also warning Yin Huaixi not to coax Yu Youyao into doing any rude or unusual behavior just because he was young and ignorant.

Yin Huaixi is a good person, how could he not hear the implication of her words? He quickly agreed and promised in person: "...please rest assured, I have been busy with official duties since Yaoyao came to Xiangping City. , I don’t have time to take her around to see the landscape and people in Xiangping City. It’s rare that I have free time, so naturally I want her to have fun.”

Both the words and the words showed that he put Yu Youyao first, and coupled with his humble and respectful attitude, he was sincere.

After passing the clear path of the elders, everything fell into place.

…

The carriage drove slowly along the street, and people came and went on the street. People tied acacia cords on their arms, hung calamus swords, poison sachets, and cloth bags on their waists, and there was a lot of bustle.

The streets were lined with a dazzling array of merchandise. From time to time, a group of patrols, wearing armor and holding sabers, passed by in uniform steps. The people around them stepped aside, their eyes full of awe.

A public stage was set up in the city, and "The Sinking of Qu Yuan" was being performed on the stage. There were crowds of people all around, and cheers and applause erupted from time to time, like thunderous applause.

Many wealthy households set up shacks at the city gate, and people lined up in long lines, waiting to receive the festival rice dumplings.

This peaceful and prosperous scene was under the protection of Yin Huaixi.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos in the future, the northern border will become the only pure land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and more and more people will flee to Liaodong because of the war.

Yin Huaixi had already anticipated this, and even before the chaos came, he took advantage of the imperial court's implementation of national policies in the north to hoard supplies.

First, by taking in and resettling the refugees, most of the supplies of the Great Zhou Dynasty were tilted towards the north;

Through the Xie and Bai Mansion, they spared no effort to dig into the local gentry's family assets and collect the money and materials accumulated by the gentry for generations;

Taking advantage of the Han family case in Xi'an, he vigorously suppressed the local gentry forces and took control of the gentry's huge network of contacts and other resources in his own hands.

As a result of the vigorous suppression of the gentry, merchants from other regions coveted the northern trade routes and sea transportation. Like cats that smelled fishy, ​​they flocked to the northern territory to seek opportunities.

For better development opportunities, merchants brought most of the resources to the North. These resources formed complete production chains one after another in the North, injecting fresh blood into the North. Agriculture, industry, and commerce The industry is thriving and prosperous in this land in the north.

And the one who controls all of this is Yin Huaixi.

I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage gradually stopped.

Yu Youyao got out of the carriage, and her eyes suddenly opened up. The sun had just jumped out of the horizon. The brilliant light dyed the clouds in the east red. The layers were stacked like fire, and the colors were extremely gorgeous. The mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist. Bathed in the morning glow, it is lush green.

She finally couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

She was admiring the beautiful scenery, but someone else was admiring the beauty. Before going out, the little girl deliberately dressed herself up, and painted the luodai which is rarely used in daily life. The misty light green dyed between the eyebrows made the eyebrows look even more indigo, like mountains and mist, making the face even more beautiful.

The placket around the neck is not as tight as usual. It is opened downward, showing a "V" shape, revealing the entire thin and graceful swan neck, as well as the deep bones under the neck, and the clavicle, which blocks the lower part. It's as bright and beautiful as if it's trying to cover up.
