Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 29: ：Baoning Temple
Yu Youyao has a loose personality and is indolent, but as long as she mentions her grandmother, she seems to be able to withstand the collapse of the sky.
There are rumors outside that Yu Youyao is stupid and naughty, even inferior to the concubines in the house, and is like rotten wood that cannot be carved. However, Yu Youyao is clearly a very smart person, and she cannot even understand the obscure pharmacology.
In the evening, Yu Youyao had dinner by herself and drank a cup of digestion tea. After resting for a short while, Nanny Xu took out three more books: "The Book of Tea", "Tian Xiang Lu" and "Ding Shi" Book.
Yu Youyao smacked her little lips, reluctantly put down the white jade lotus seed cake she just held in her hand, and followed suit.
It’s not that Yu Youyao is eager to learn.
Nanny Xu is so amazing. Not only can she control Yu Youyao’s temperament, but she also has many principles that Yu Youyao has to learn. She is also very good at teaching. The obscure and dry pharmacology can be transformed into something with her witty words. It's so interesting.
The most important thing is that it is not difficult for Yu Youyao to learn these things. He can learn them easily. Why not learn the skills that he can easily master?
She is not stupid!
Just when Yu Youyao was deeply involved in studying, it was the seventh day of February.
After an hour of rituals, Yu Youyao was dripping with sweat. After letting Chunxiao take a bath, she returned to her room.
Dongmei gave Yu Youyao a snow-green dark-patterned skirt and a light-green coat.
It is February, and it is suddenly warm but also cold. People in Beijing have taken off their coats early and put on spring shirts.
Yu Youyao thinks this outfit is pretty good-looking and doesn’t have any objections.
Nanny Xu was not satisfied, so she personally chose a lotus-colored pleated skirt, a light pink double-breasted collared blouse, and a pink and white butterfly-embroidered waist-length cloak. The dress was more delicate than the one Dongmei chose. , and a bit thicker.
Nanny Xu helped Yu Youyao dress, and took the opportunity to teach Dongmei and Chunxiao: "Although you are going to the temple to offer incense, you should dress more modestly, but the girl is young, and the elders in the family are healthy, so she should be delicate and pretty, not dull. , the spring breeze in February is like thorns, be careful not to let the girl get cold, the young will be cold, the old will suffer!"
Dongmei and Chunxiao bowed their heads in response.
"Don't learn from the unscrupulous demoralizing methods in the main courtyard. They are just for show, not the principles of human life. They appear superficial. Why do you think the third lady is smart and the old lady doesn't like it!" Aunt Xu warned. He glanced at Dongmei and Chunxiao, then gave Yu Youyao a double-snail bun, with a string of pink pearls on each side.
In the polished glass mirror, the little girl is simply dressed, yet delicate and lovely.
After washing up, the maid brought breakfast.
Yu Youyao used some simple methods, and Qingxiu from the old lady’s house came over: “The carriage in the mansion is waiting outside the door. The old lady asked the eldest lady to go to the front yard to hang flowers.”
Yu Youyao took Chunxiao and Dongmei along the corridor to the flower gate of the front yard.
Mrs. Yu was waiting there, supported by Aunt Liu.
Yu Jianjia tilted her head to talk to Yang Shuwan beside her. Her eyes were red, and her white lips held a hint of red. She was wearing a white twig-patterned gown with red roses tattooed on the collar. Plain white, with a hint of beauty in the white, and a scorching white in the beauty, very beautiful.
She was probably dressed too thinly, and her thin body was trembling slightly, and her body was moving lightly, which made her look even more thin, delicate, and lovable.
Yu Youyao said hello to her grandmother and Yang Shuwan.
After only a few days of learning the rules from Nanny Xu, she was already in good shape. Mrs. Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Young Yao, you look really good when dressed up," she said, then shook her little hand, The palms of my hands were also warm, and a smile appeared on my lips: "I'm not afraid of freezing."
After saying that, he glanced at Yu Jianjia.
It is human nature for the little girl to love beauty, but Yu Jianjia was already weak, so she would suffer from the cold if she wore such thin clothes, and she had to go through all the trouble with her.
Forget it, she is wrapped in plain clothes all day long, which looks unlucky. She is not dead yet, and she has not reached the age of true beauty. Who can show her this kind of pretense?
Mr. Yang just got married, and she has such a style. Like mother, like daughter, it is absolutely true.
After a while, the fourth lady Yu Qingning arrived belatedly.
Yu Qingning is more than just dressed up carefully. She wears a light red pomegranate flower blouse, an eight-sided Hunan skirt of the same color, and a red flower inlaid with red flowers on her bun. Look, even the pomegranate flower shoes at the bottom of the skirt are faintly delicate.
Old Madam Yu glanced at it and then turned away.
One was too indifferent, as if someone was bereaved in the family, and the other was too flamboyant, forgetting that he was going to the temple to offer incense, but to attend a banquet.
After all, she is a little mother-in-law and cannot be put on the stage.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but look at Yaoyao, with a smile in her eyes.
Yu Qingning stepped forward to greet Mrs. Yu, then lowered her head and called Yang Shuwan obediently: "Mother."
Yang Shuwan lightly praised: "Qingning is really beautiful today."
On a rare occasion when she went out, she took out all the clothes and jewelry that were packed in the box. Yu Qingning felt a little proud. She glanced at Yu Youyao and Yu Jianjia, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
Out of the door, four large carriages were parked outside.
After the second lady, Yao Shi, led Yu Shuangbai and several concubines to pay their respects~IndoMTL.com~, the group of people got on the carriage one after another.
Old Madam Yu, Mrs. Yao, and Mr. Yang were in a car. The sisters were divided into two cars, and the maids and women were in another car. The wheels of the carriage were rolling towards Baoning Temple.
The interior of the car is very spacious, with seats on three sides, covered with soft velvet mattresses. The master and his two maids can sit on one side of the car, and they don't feel crowded.
On the ebony small table, green smoke curls from the incense burner with the head of a beast, and there are plenty of tea, fruits, snacks, and snacks.
Yu Youyao closed her eyes and leaned in the carriage to take a nap. Yu Jianjia covered her handkerchief and coughed lightly from time to time. Her fair little face showed an abnormal blush, making her look extraordinarily delicate.
Yu Shuangbai saw how thin she was, so she asked Pearl beside her to give her spare cloak to Yu Jianjia.
Yu Jianjia shook his head and said it was not cold.
Yu Shuangbai didn’t force himself.
It is rare to go out, and Yu Qingning seems very active: "How come my eldest sister falls asleep as soon as she gets in the car? She used to be the happiest person in the house when I went out."
Yu Shuangbai swallowed a mouthful of mille-feuille and said calmly: "Please keep your voice down. Big sister has to get up at 9 o'clock every day to learn the rules. She must be sleepy."
When it came to learning the rules, Yu Qingning shut up angrily, turned his head, opened the car curtain, and saw many carriages outside, all going to Baoning Temple like theirs.
"Every spring, the incense in Baoning Temple is much more prosperous than in the past. Ordinary people can't even get in."
Yu Jianjia was deeply convinced and whispered: "Last month our family asked people to donate money for sesame oil, booked a room and meals with Baoning Temple today, and also asked for incense ashes in front of the Bodhisattva. You can also bring good luck by putting the blessing bag in it and giving it to the Yu family's children who will take part in the examination this year."
This is the usual practice in previous years.
