All Hail Cousin Brother

Nanny Xu soaked the handkerchief in the water, picked it up, carried it half dry, and sat on the edge of the bed to carefully clean Yu Youyao's face.

After crying for a long time, her face felt a little uncomfortable, and her face was also in pain from the beating. Yu Youyao froze and let Mother Xu wipe her face, then took another hard-boiled egg and rolled it for a while before applying it. A layer of medicine.

At this moment, Mother Liu came over and saw Yu Youyao sitting on the couch, her little face was a little scary red and swollen, but fortunately she had applied the medicine and her mood was stable, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "My sister has suffered feel wronged."

Yu Youyao nodded: "Don't worry, Mommy, I'm fine."

Such a well-behaved appearance made Grandma Liu's heart ache. She touched her head, then turned to Nanny Xu and said, "Madam, let you go over."

Grandma Xu and Grandma Liu came to the flower hall together, and saluted neither humble nor overbearing.

Yu Zongzheng knew that Nanny Xu came out of the palace, and she used to be a respectable person in the queen mother's palace, so he had to pay two or three points of respect.

Madam Xu said: "My sister gets up at Mao every day to learn etiquette. In the morning, I have to learn pharmacology and female reds. In the afternoon, I have to learn Chinese medicine and tea. In the evening, I have to learn about fragrant medicine."

"How is this possible?!" Yu Zongzheng didn't believe it, this eldest daughter was very stupid, and she was often reprimanded by female teachers in the past, and everyone in the house knew this.

Nanny Xu understood what he meant, she felt a little displeased, and said with a smile: "My sister is talented, but she has a loose temper, and she can learn everything quickly when she is serious."

Yu Youyao is talented and intelligent? Yu Zongzheng stared at Nanny Xu suspiciously, thinking that she and the old lady were fooling him together.

Nanny Xu took out a piece of silk brocade, which was exactly the green bamboo pattern Yu Youyao embroidered: "My sister has only been learning from the old slave for a few days, and she is already able to embroider double-sided embroidery."

Yu Zongzheng took it and saw that it was embroidered with a piece of bamboo, a branch, and three bamboo leaves. Although the technique was simple and crude, it was indeed double-sided embroidery.

It is said that this technique has been lost among the people because it is too difficult to learn.

And Yu Youyao learned it in a few days?

is it possible?

Mrs. Yu hurriedly snatched the silk brocade from Yu Zongzheng's hand, looked carefully, and finally showed a smile on her face: "Yaoyao, she actually learned how to embroider. In the first few days, I felt that Yaoyao couldn't bear the pain. Once, I couldn't hold on anymore, it seems that I underestimated Yaoyao, look, how good the embroidery is..."

Grandma Liu leaned over to take a look: "The jasmine tea and sandalwood in your house are all made by my sister. My sister can't study well, but she is better than others in other aspects. You will be able to wear them in a short time." Sister embroidered and wiped her forehead."

Yu Zongzheng said this clearly to Yu Zongzheng, and Yu Zongzheng was a little dazed. He suspected that it was someone else who had come to fool him.

However, this cannot be said in any way.

Aunt Xu came from the palace, she has very strict rules, since mother invited her to the mansion, it was really to teach Yaoyao.

And in Aunt Xu's words, all of her words reveal her closeness and love for Yaoyao, which shows that Yaoyao is a bit stupid in reading, but in these respects, she is indeed superior.

Girls don't need to take the imperial examination, they can make meritorious deeds and learn more manners, which is better than anything else.

The eldest daughter is indeed not as useless as he thinks.

Then he really wronged her with that slap just now.

Although Yu Zongzheng didn't like Yu Youyao, and he didn't understand the common affairs of the inner house, his personal morals were a bit poor, but he had been an official for many years, and he had a somewhat upright temper.

"By the way, you said before that Yaoyao beats up servants and is coquettish and domineering?" Mrs. Yu handed the silk brocade to Nanny Xu with a cold tone.

After being cleaned up thoroughly, Yu Zongzheng also completely suppressed his anger, honestly, he didn't dare to do it again: "Because of this incident, some bad rumors spread outside, so my son..."

Grandma Liu handed her a cup of tea.

Old Madam Yu talked for a long time, her mouth just happened to be a little dry, she took the tea from Nanny Liu, lowered her head and took a sip: "What rumors? Why didn't I know? You heard it yourself?"

Yu Zongzheng was ashamed: "No?"

As the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is his duty and responsibility to clearly argue the injustice. Hearsay and unproven, even if it is just a family matter, it is not justified.

Madam Yu asked again: "How did Mrs. Yang tell you?"

Yu Zongzheng was speechless. Although he knew that Yang Shi had no other intentions, he could not help but blame her in his heart.

Old Madam Yu put down her teacup heavily: "I'm afraid you don't know the truth. The first day Ling Huai lived in the mansion, Yaoyao heard two women say in the side courtyard that Ling Huai was a disabled person who came to beat the autumn wind. Yaoyao Yao was furious, so he ordered people to tie up the two wives, is this also wrong?"

After hearing this, Yu Zongzheng stared straight at his eyes, and couldn't help but be furious: "Selling these diabolical slaves for 30 boards is still cheaper than them."

During these days, because he took in his nephew from Youzhou, many people in the court praised him for his benevolence, which also made him care about Zhou Linghuai a little more.

Madam Yu continued: "I was the first to rush over and deal with these two wives. It was not until the matter was over that Mrs. Yang came late. This was already her oversight. Even if there was a fault, it was also Yang's fault. You are not strict in governing the family, how did you become a sly and domineering one?"

Yu Zongzheng was stunned for a moment, Yang probably didn't want to bother him with trivial matters at home, so he only mentioned one sentence, didn't say much, and he didn't ask carefully, he felt that Yu Youyao was coquettish and domineering, so he took the subjective view first, I misunderstood myself.

The words are so clear, the brain has not yet turned the corner, it can be seen that Yang's mind is really confused, maybe he still thinks that Yang is a good one.

Mrs. Yu also stopped beating around her feet: "Mr. Yang is the housekeeper in the mansion. Why did the matter of closing the door spread to the outside and spread rumors? It can be seen that the housekeeper Yang was careless, but she didn't care about it." Thinking of tidying up the house, but chewing on such trifles to you, where did you get the face?"

Rao thought that Yang was a good Yu Zongzheng, and he also felt that Yang was wrong, but in the end it was his respected wife, so he couldn't help but excuse her: "Yang is worried about being young, but she is also a kind mother, it's not so serious. ..."

Mrs. Yu said sharply: "You are an official in the court, and there are piles of court documents in the study, and you have to discuss government affairs with your staff from time to time. If you don't manage the family strictly, then it means that what you say at home will be spread outside, and the inner courtyard will catch fire. , causing trouble to Xiao Qiang, do you think this is a trivial matter?"

As soon as this remark came out, Yu Zong's face turned positive. How many officials in the dynasties in the past dynasties caused family disasters because of the fire in the backyard?

Mother was right.

This matter is indeed Yang's mistake.

He looked ashamed: "Mother, it's not Yaoyao's fault, it's because I didn't understand the truth and beat Yaoyao by mistake."
