Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 719: :Revisiting old things
Before leaving, he glanced at Yu Youyao.
The little girl sat next to her aunt, obediently lowering her head, exposing a section of her neck. As if feeling his gaze, she subconsciously raised her head.
The eyes of the two people collided unexpectedly.
Yin Huaixi couldn't help but be startled. He felt as if thunder from the sky had stirred up the fire on the earth, and fire burst out, making his heart beat faster. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then left the house.
Yu Youyao was also stunned for a moment. Yin Huaixi's inadvertent glance before leaving showed a burning color. She felt as if she had taken a bite of sour green plum fruit, and heat rushed to her face.
The room was quiet for a moment.
The old lady Xie then looked at Yu Youyao: "Can you, your cousin, be trusted?"
Yu Youyao lowered her eyebrows and said obediently: "My cousin and I have always been close, and our relationship is much closer than that of his brothers and sisters at home."
A cousin who is closer than brothers in the house?
Such a close relationship was obviously connived by Mrs. Yu, or even done deliberately.
Wang frowned and asked about Zhou Linghuai.
Knowing that they were worried about Yin Huaixi, Yu Youyao took her grandmother and aunt to Tiaoyuyuan, and took out the pen and ink she used to practice calligraphy to show them one by one.
A box full of books, each record of her progress.
I also took the textbooks she had studied, including the "Four Books and Five Classics", various history books, classics, and a thick stack of books. The annotations on each book were all Yin Huaixi's time and energy. , written down with painstaking efforts.
I also took the Shaoyu Qin.
Peach blossom jelly seal.
Various paintings.
Engraving.
……
Facts speak louder than words. Whether Zhou Linghuai is good or bad to Yu Youyao, from these bits and pieces, it has been revealed without a doubt that even his brother is not as good as him.
"You guys," Mrs. Xie's expression was a little complicated. She always felt that Zhou Linghuai's attitude toward her grandson was a bit wrong. It was not like an ordinary cousin relationship: "Have you always been so close?"
After all, is it the foreign man that Mrs. Yu just looked at and indulged in?
Yu Youyao nodded: "My grandma asked me to study more with my cousin, saying that my cousin has great skills. If you learn from it, you will earn it, and you will use it in the future."
This is true, and Mrs. Xie doesn’t have much to say.
My granddaughter has grown up together with her cousin. If she were Mrs. Yu, she would probably turn a blind eye or close her eyes. As long as there are no mistakes in etiquette on the surface, she wouldn't hold back.
Anyway, etiquette is done for outsiders to see.
Every family is living with its doors closed.
The Xie Mansion bought a house in Beijing, and he only stayed there for lunch and then left.
Yu Youyao returned to Xiaotang.
In the next few days, many families came to pay homage one after another. Yu Youyao and Yu Shanyan brought their brothers and sisters, wearing sackcloth and mourning, with men and women on each side kneeling in front of their grandmother’s spirit. If guests came to pay homage, if The male guest, Yu Shanyan, took his younger brother at home, got up to greet the guests, saw off the guests, and then knelt back before the funeral.
If you are a female guest, you will be greeted by Yu Youyao.
After a few days, Yu Youyao's waist was almost broken.
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Yu’s first seven days were over.
Xie Mansion came to visit again and found the old uncle in the clan.
Mr.
"You, the Yu family, know very well how Rou Jia died. It is said that one day is a hundred days of kindness between husband and wife, and Rou Jia's bones are not yet cold. Yu Zongzheng cannot even wait for these hundred days of kindness between husband and wife, and he does not care about it. In the love of in-laws, we welcome new people into the house during the filial piety period, and our family tolerates it."
As soon as these words came out, not only Yu Zongzheng couldn't hold his head high, but even the elders in the Yu clan were embarrassed.
Xie Roujia, a good-looking girl, passed away only three or four years after marrying into the Yu Mansion. In any case, the Yu Mansion had already made a mistake.
Later, Yu Zong concealed the fact that he remarried the Yang family during his filial piety period.
Although the Xie Mansion cannot interfere with Yu Zong's continued marriage, Xie Roujia is the original wife's legitimate wife, and it is only in line with etiquette to first ask the deceased wife's family before remarrying.
Therefore, this matter was a big deal back then.
Originally, Xie Mansion endured Xie Roujia's early death for the sake of his grandson. Later, when he learned that Yu Zong was about to remarry during the filial piety period, he directly came to the house and asked Xie Mansion to give an explanation.
The remarriage has been decided, but the Yang family has not yet married.
Mr. Xie caught the Yu Mansion's mistake and wanted to take his grandson back to Quanzhou.
Old Madam Yu lost her confidence because of her wrongdoing, so she had no choice but to seek help from her clan.
It was also the family members who came forward to argue with Mr. Xie. The Xie family was not convinced because of their unfair reputation, and they were worried that the quarrel would go too far. In the future, their granddaughter would not be a human being in the family or the clan, so they had no choice but to give up on Yu Youyao. He planned to take her back to Quanzhou, but he also forced Mrs. Yu to write a letter of guarantee to treat Yu Youyao well.
There is a clear statement in the guarantee that if the Yu Mansion violates it, Yu Youyao will be allowed to return to her mother's clan.
At that time, several clan elders signed their names.
Thirteen years later, old matters in the Xie Mansion were brought up again.
On the occasion of the old lady's filial piety, I took out the letter of guarantee written by the old lady.
The old man had a bad feeling in his heart.
The old lady Xie brought up her daughter and cried bitterly on the spot: "If you, the Yu government, are so heartless and unkind, you slap our family in the face one after another and trample our family's face into the ground. We The family must be patient, Roujia has passed away, and we still have to take care of the daughter that Roujia worked hard to give birth to. We cannot let this child be at home, not a human being inside and outside, eating raw food..."
The old lady didn't care about her face and burst into tears on the spot. She cried so much that everyone in the Yu Mansion and even the Yu clan became weak and couldn't say anything to argue.
Yu Zongzheng suddenly felt ~IndoMTL.com~ that there were white burrs on the chair. For a moment, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.
It's not that he has a good temper, but that Old Mrs. Xie is still his mother-in-law in name only, and is an elder. When the elder speaks, he has no place to interrupt. Furthermore, even if the words are spoken openly, the Yu Mansion still ignores her.
Wang's eyes were also red, and she cried: "For Xiao Yaoyao, my sister-in-law donated 30% of her property to the Yu clan, and 20% of her property to the Yu Mansion. Every quarter, The Xie Mansion's merchant ship came to Beijing, and all kinds of gifts were brought into your house in a whole carriage. The etiquette of the New Year and the holidays have never been carried out. The channels and connections under the Xie Mansion's name are also for the Yu Mansion and the It’s convenient for the Yu clan, and we, the Xie Mansion, have done our best to you, the Yu Mansion, just to give little Yao’er a place to live and settle down.”
This is all true.
Every time the Xie Mansion sends a gift, there is a gift list to keep. These days, the Tian Clan has helped Yu Youyao clean up the old lady’s belongings and put them all in Anshou Hall.
The eldest wife, the daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family, said quickly: "Her grandmother, please don't be upset. We understand how you feel about your granddaughter. We can talk to you if we have anything to say."
