All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao took the small bowl, and just picked up the spoon, she paused: "Have you sent it to my cousin?"

Before Mammy Xu could answer, she saw Yin Huaixi come in with the curtain lifted.

Yin Huaixi glanced at Nanny Xu.

Nanny Xu closed her eyes, lowered her head and left the room, and told Chun Xiao to stay outside and not allow outsiders to disturb her.

Yu Youyao quickly put down the small bowl, and asked, "Why are you here? Have you used your dinner yet?"

"I heard from Chunxiao that you don't have much dinner, so I'll come over to see you." Yin Huaixi picked up the small bowl in front of her and stuffed it into her hand: "Eat more, I've already had dinner."

Yu Youyao obediently ate porridge.

Yin Huaixi rested her forehead, watching her slowly, eating in small bites, her manners were elegant, no matter how you looked at it, it was pleasing to the eye.

Such a good etiquette is the result of more than three years of careful training by Nanny Xu.

His eyes were deep, and Yu Youyao couldn't eat any food under his gaze. He managed to finish the porridge, and then asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

"Seeing that you have lost a lot of weight," Yin Huaixi approached her, lifted her jaw with one finger, and looked at her carefully: "You have not eaten less medicinal food to nourish your mind, but you are getting thinner?"

The old lady has passed her first seven days, no matter how much sadness she had, it will dissipate a lot, not to mention that Yu Youyao is not a person who indulges in sadness,

The medicated meals that were delivered every hour were stared at her to finish eating.

Yu Youyao was not used to being scrutinized by him like this, so she tilted her head and avoided his fingers: "Nurse Xu said that I have smoked, so I look thinner."

When I came back this time, it seemed that I had grown taller.

Did he smoke a cigarette, or did he really lose weight? Can he have such sharp eyesight?

Thinking of many things that happened in the Yu Mansion during this period of time, Yin Huaixi twitched in distress: "You didn't discuss with me about the haircut."

Yu Youyao nodded: "I just want to be smoother, and the clan doesn't want to take it anymore. The notoriety of forcing the eldest daughter of the first branch to be a sister-in-law will be restrained later."

The old patriarch later didn't want to get involved, and a large part of the reason was that she threatened to cut her hair and become an aunt, which made the clan worry about making a fuss.

Apart from being the daughter of the Yu family, she

He also conferred the title of patriarch.

Yin Huaixi was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth: "Regardless of men and women, hair is only trimmed and not cut. The only haircut in life is on the day of the big wedding. When the wedding ceremony is held, men and women must cut a strand of hair and tie it together. , put it in a sachet filled with red beans, which means to tie hair as a husband and wife. There is no doubt about love and love. After you untie the cloud ring, you can share your hair. Where do you look for, and make a concentric knot. After the death of your husband, the sachet Burial together."

Long hair cannot be cut, only hair can be trimmed.

The weekly wedding ceremony is to perform the knot and hair ceremony.

Although the wedding ceremony was not popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were still many loving couples who performed the wedding ceremony on the day of their wedding.

So this strand of hair, cut on her head, hurt his heart.

The only haircut in his life was not at a wedding, but under the relentless persecution of his clansmen. Does this also reflect his incompetence? !

Yu Youyao froze for a moment, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Yin Huaixi also seemed to feel that this was a little inappropriate, so he quickly changed the subject: "Everything about leaving Beijing is ready, and I will send you to Quanzhou after the old lady is buried," he held Yu Youyao's soft and boneless Hand: "Don't be afraid, Quanzhou is a port city with good commerce and business. It receives visitors from all over the world and collects wealth from all over the world. The atmosphere is more open than that in Beijing. There are also women merchants. When you get there, you should feel at ease." Some."

It was her dream to escape from the shackles of Yu Mansion and Jingzhao.

But when it came to this day, I realized that the farthest place she had been to before was the Tongzhou clan, but Tongzhou was less than a day away from Beijing.

Now she is going to Quanzhou, thousands of miles away.

It is a completely strange place.

After arriving in Quanzhou, everything has to start from scratch, family relationship, communication, industry and so on.

Yin Huaixi seemed to know what she was thinking.

Yu Youyao nodded: "Most women spend their whole lives in shackles, trapped in the back house, and don't see the vastness of the world. I am lucky to have the opportunity to leave the Yu Mansion, walk out of Jingzhao, and see the colorful outside of the deep house compound."

For some reason, Yin Huaixi felt that these words were insincere: "Quanzhou has been advocating business since ancient times, and the Xie Mansion has a great status in Quanzhou. You are an official daughter, and you have been named the head of Shaoyi County. With the protection of the Xie Mansion, you can almost walk sideways. Moreover, Quanzhou is very rich in aquatic products, and it has all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, and there are many fresh seafood that cannot be found in the capital, so you should like it very much."

Yu Youyao was silent for a while, and said, "I will keep a filial piety for my grandmother for three years. Within three years, I will not eat meat, nor visit neighbors, nor participate in banquets, and live in seclusion."

Logically speaking, grandchildren only need to observe filial piety for one year, but Yu Youyao was brought up by Mrs. Yu since she was a child, so it is only natural that she wants to observe filial piety for two more years and devote herself to her grandmother.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Something called estrangement spread between them.

Yin Huaixi pursed her lips, and suddenly realized that although Yu Youyao was looking forward to returning to her mother's clan, she was not that enthusiastic or happy.

She seemed to be hiding something on her mind.

Leaving Beijing this time, he missed too much of Yu Youyao's joys and sorrows, and they are different after all.

He was overjoyed that he got the token from Mrs. Yu, and Yu Youyao also left the Yu Mansion and was approaching him bit by bit.

But she was saddened by the death of her grandmother, and she couldn't open her eyes and see her happy face.

Yu Youyao suddenly realized that her attitude was wrong, and said hastily: "I just suddenly thought that it would be very unfilial for me to stay away from Jingzhao for three years after the death of my relatives, and once my grandmother's funeral is over."

Yin Huaixi said: "Your grandmother left a last message, and the family agreed, so no one will think you are unfilial. If you feel uncomfortable, you can copy a few more scriptures for your grandmother."

Yu Youyao nodded.

Yin Huaixi sighed softly, and changed the subject: "After sending you to Quanzhou, I will stay in Quanzhou for a while."

It's just that it's not like Xie's house, so we probably can't meet each other from time to time.

Yu Youyao suddenly raised her head, and her tensed heartstrings suddenly relaxed, but she was still asking: "What should we do in the northern border? Harmon is not the only leader in Beidi, wouldn't the other leaders invade Beidi to rob supplies?" environment?"

Yin Huaixi obviously felt it, and her attitude changed: "Harmon is the most powerful tribe in Beidi, other tribes are not enough to fear, Yin Yi can handle it." Speaking of this, he looked at the little girl's thin face , heartbroken: "I am even more worried about your first arrival in Quanzhou, and I am also worried about leaving you there alone."

She lost her loved one suddenly, and she had to stay away from the place she was familiar with since she was a child.

He couldn't let Beijing go, let alone her.

Yu Youyao rejoiced in her heart, and said softly: "I'm fine, the Xie Mansion is my natal family."
