Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 357: ：Family Banquet

Remember in one second【】

Yu Youyao woke up from a dream and found that she was actually lying on her cousin's lap and fell asleep. She quickly got up, "Cousin, aren't we in class? Why did I fall asleep? I wasn't pressing your leg just now. Let’s go!”

In fact, if he stayed in the same position for a long time, his whole body would be numb, and he couldn't feel any pain.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head "No."

Yu Youyao saw his cousin smiling and patted his chest, "That's good, that's good."

Zhou Linghuai handed over a cup of tea.

After sleeping for so long, Yu Youyao was indeed a little thirsty. She took the tea cup and drank it slowly. "What time is it now?"

Zhou Linghuai took out his watch from his purse and glanced down at "Shen Shizheng (15 o'clock)."

Yu Youyao's eyes widened. "I actually slept for so long." She quickly got up from the chair, but she had been lying there for too long, and her legs couldn't help but feel numb, and she was about to fall down.

Zhou Ling took her in his arms, hugged her to his chest, and asked urgently, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask Uncle Sun to come over and take a look at you."

Yu Youyao lay dizzy in her cousin's arms. Around this time, she often made tea with bamboo juice, and her cousin had a faint fragrance of bamboo. Even in the hot summer, her tea was refreshing. Even the mignonette fragrance beads can't hide the elegance.

She couldn't help sniffing and shook her head blankly, "No, my legs were a little numb and I couldn't stand for a while. Cousin, don't worry, I'm fine."

Zhou Linghuai breathed a sigh of relief and then let go of Yu Youyao, "Be more careful in the future."

Yu Youyao nodded, "Cousin, I will go back to the house to freshen up first, and I will go to the big kitchen later to see how the dinner is prepared for the evening."

But I no longer have time to accompany my cousin.

Zhou Linghuai nodded, "I will read under the green wu tree, you go and do your work!"

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips, "When I'm done, I'll come back and play chess with my cousin. My chess skills have improved a lot recently, and I must impress my cousin."

Zhou Linghuai twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "We'll see."

Has your chess skills improved a bit? But the quality of chess is not as good as it used to be. Maybe he has looked past it now and should just play with the little girl? He thinks so.

Yu Youyao was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

After finishing the work, it was already the end of Shenshi (16 o'clock). Yao family brought a group of children and returned to the house after watching the dragon boat race.

Zhou Linghuai and Yu Youyao went to Anshou Hall together.

Yu Shuangbai’s little face turned red. She pulled Yu Youyao and talked happily about the dragon boat race on the moat. “…Sister, it’s a pity that you didn’t come with us. How wonderful is this year’s dragon boat race? Your Majesty is here in person. , accompanied by hundreds of officials, the preparations for the dragon boat race were grand. Even the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion also prepared dragon boats. I heard that I won the first place, and the emperor rewarded me with many things..."

After hearing this, Yu Youyao was a little surprised.

In previous years, the emperor had never seen the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, Yu Youyao didn’t feel regretful either.

At You hour (18 o'clock), Yu Zongzheng and Yu Zongshen came back together and paid their respects to Mrs. Yu.

A reward came from the palace? It was a Dragon Boat Festival gift sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward the meritorious officials. There were brown seeds, realgar wine, sachets and other items? It was not surprising at all. It was an annual practice.

Everyone in the Yu Mansion knelt down one after another, thanked the emperor for his grace and politely sent the father-in-law out of the house.

The whole family gathered together to talk about today’s Dragon Boat Festival event.

Yu Youyao arranged for the servants to prepare the table.

Because it was Yu Youyao's first time hosting a banquet, and it was also a family banquet, Mrs. Yao did not help, but sent the nanny in front of her to watch from the sidelines, always giving her a chance to practice.

At Xu time (19 o'clock), the banquet was ready and everyone moved to the flower hall.

Yu Zongzheng had never cared about household chores, but when he looked at the tabletop, it was beautifully decorated, and the colors and textures were well matched. Whether it was the arrangement or the patterns, everything was exquisite. I don’t know how much he surpassed Yang’s. I couldn't help but feel so happy that I patted Yu Youyao's shoulder on the spot, "You've worked hard today, Yaoyao."

Yu Youyao chuckled lightly but said nothing.

Everyone sat down one after another, and Xia Tao came over to report, "The eldest lady, the young lady, the fourth young master, the fourth young lady, and the two aunts have also sent over their dishes."

When everyone heard this, they felt that Yu Youyao was a decent person.

"Let's have a feast!" After Yu Youyao finished speaking, she picked up a piece of steamed sea bass and put it in her grandmother's bowl.

Old Madam Yu smiled and narrowed her eyes, "This is our first family banquet, and we hosted it in a decent manner. It was much better than when my grandmother was young."

Ms. Yao has always been informed and understanding, "isn't that right? At noon, I didn't have time to help. At this time in the evening, I couldn't help even if I wanted to. Yaoyao is young and can't do anything. Come, but there is no ambiguity at all."

Yu Youyao was a little embarrassed by the praise, and quickly said, "There are also conventions for banquets at home, so I arranged it, and it was also helpful to the servants."

Mrs. Yu smiled.

No matter how powerful the servants are, they must still be masters.

Like Mr. Yang, even a small family dinner was held in a hurry, jumping up and down endlessly.

The family dinner lasted until the beginning of Haishi (21 o'clock) and then broke up.

Yu Youyao ordered his subordinates to clean up, and it took half an hour.

After everything was arranged, Yu Youyao walked out of the flower hall and saw her cousin sitting alone under the veranda, holding a book in his hand and reading. There was a lantern above his head, and the sparse lights gave out a dense light. Even though the lights were dim, his whole figure seemed to glow.

Yu Youyao couldn’t bear to be disturbed for a while.

"Is everything arranged?" Zhou Linghuai closed the book and raised his eyes to look at her. The sparse light shone into his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with a faint firelight.

Yu Youyao curled her lips and nodded lightly, "Well, has cousin been waiting for a long time?"

After working hard all day, everyone went back to rest. Unexpectedly, her cousin was still waiting for her.

Zhou Linghuai did not answer and asked, "Are you tired?"

Yu Youyao walked to her cousin ~IndoMTL.com~ and shook her head and nodded, "I didn't feel tired before, but now I suddenly feel a little tired."

My cousin said that there is no need to be strong in front of him!

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips lightly and said, "I'll take you back and rest early today."

Yu Youyao and her cousin returned to Yayuyuan together. "The candlelight outside is dim. My cousin can't read in dimly lit places. It's not good for the eyes."

In the silent night, I only heard Zhou Linghuai say the word "good".

The lights were dim along the way, illuminating the corridor deeply, as if there was no end, and also stretched the shadows of the two people very long, very long...

The lively aftertaste of the Dragon Boat Festival has come to an end after two days of festivities.

After a heavy rain, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. .

Yu Youyao has already changed into the summer clothes made in Jinxiuzhuang early in the morning.

Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
