Chapter 62 New Year's Day
Chapter 62 Suffering an Unexpected Disaster (Additional update on New Year’s Day)
Mrs. Yu stared at Yang Shuwan sharply and said sternly: "You are so clumsy that you can't do even the smallest thing well. Why don't you hurry up and get started?"
The harsh words made Yang Shuwan feel as if someone had poured cold water on her. She shivered and had no choice but to lower her head and take a step back, not daring to say another word.
Aunt Liu then had no choice but to step forward: "Is the old lady burned?"
Mrs. Yu shook her head: "It's not ironed. Help me go back to the room and change clothes."
Aunt Liu quickly agreed, helped the old lady and walked into the inner room. Yao followed behind. Yang Shuwan saw her and wanted to follow her, but was stopped by the stern look in her eyes that asked Old Madam Yu to come back.
Yang Shuwan was so embarrassed that her face turned green with anger.
In my heart, I was angry that Mrs. Yao deliberately went to the main room to see her and didn't tell her a joke. She also deliberately caused her to spill the tea, which made the old lady unhappy. I was also jealous that Mr. Yao had gained face in front of the old lady. Even the children born to Mr. Yao were not the same.
He's not a good guy, he only knows how to please the old lady.
Yu Youyao and the younger ones were relieved to see that their grandmother was really fine.
Yu Shuangbai hadn't seen Yu Youyao for several days, and wanted to take Yu Youyao to the lotus pond to feed the fish. Yu Youyao rolled his eyes and took Yu Shuangbai back to the Yuyuyuan. Chunxiao took the fish food and climbed on the wooden railing.
After sprinkling the fish food, Mammy Xu asked the two women to keep an eye on it to prevent them from falling into the water.
A large group of koi carps were fighting for the fish food. Seeing how lively it was, Yu Shuangbai clapped her hands and said, "Grandma asked you to learn the rules with Aunt Xu, and you really followed her? My mother can't stand me.
You play all day long and teach me the rules, but I suffered an unreasonable disaster because of you."
Yu Youyao was speechless: "What can you do if you don't learn? But you don't know how powerful Nanny Xu is."
Yu Shuangbai looked at her with sympathy, looked around, and whispered in Yu Youyao's ear: "I heard that the palace is a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones, and everyone who comes out of the palace is bad.
Very.”
Yu Youyao glared at her: "Stop talking nonsense, Grandma Xu is fine."
Yu Shuangbai rolled her eyes and said nothing more: "A few days ago, my mother asked Aunt Qian to teach me how to be a female beauty. If you look at my fingers, you can still see the holes of needles."
As he spoke, he put his spread hands in front of Yu Youyao's eyes.
Yu Youyao took a closer look and saw two needle holes. Thinking that her fingers had been pricked by needles many times, she gloated and smiled: "I have pricked so many needle holes and I haven't learned how to prick them. Who else are you going to prick?"
Yu Shuangbai's eyes widened: "You say it as if you have learned it." It's so difficult to be a female celebrity. How can you learn it in just ten days?
Yu Youyao said proudly: "No, I'll take you to have a look, lest you think I'm bragging."
Yu Shuangbai looked in a daze and followed Yu Youyao to the embroidery pavilion. He watched as Yu Youyao took the half-embroidered "swastika" pattern in the embroidery basket and wiped it on his forehead, and went through the needlework in front of Yu Shuangbai's face. Yu Shuang was shocked.
Bai's eyes suddenly widened, and he covered his chest with an expression like "We agreed to eat, drink and have fun together, but you secretly studied behind my back."
Seeing that Yu Shuangbai was shocked and her expression was twitchy, Yu Youyao felt sorry for herself and asked Chunxiao to take two boxes of apricot blossom soap made by herself: "I'm learning how to make perfume from Aunt Xu. I made this myself."
Xinghua Yizi, when washing noodles in the morning
After a while, apply it evenly on the face and wash it off after a while. Not only will the complexion be better, but the face will not be dry. Aunt Xu said that the nobles in the palace all use apricot blossoms to make soap and cleanse their faces. You and your aunt will take one of these two boxes.
Box, ask me for it after you have used it."
"You know how to make perfume?!" Yu Shuangbai was first surprised by Yu Youyao's ability to make perfume. Then he happily held the box and opened one on the spot. The light red flower mud was delicate and moist, exuding a fragrance.
Fresh fragrance, not too strong, not too light, very nice.
Yu Shuangbai's eyes lit up: "You are really amazing. How long has it been since Aunt Xu has been in the mansion? You even learned how to make women's red and perfume."
Looking at the calmness between Yu You's beautiful brows, the eldest sister is different from the past.
Yu Youyao smiled.
Yu Shuangbai sighed with emotion and changed the subject: "By the way, grandma has always been tolerant, why did she suddenly want to set rules for your mother?"
Yu Youyao didn't mention the beating she received. She only talked about Dr. Hu's request for Ping An's pulse: "Grandma thinks my mother doesn't understand the severity, so she shouldn't be angry."
Yu Shuangbai smacked her lips: "Yes! You are so pitiful to have such a devilish stepmother."
Yu Youyao pretended to hit her: "Even the elders dare to challenge you, you are brave, be careful to let the second aunt know, she will definitely teach you a lesson."
Yu Shuangbai begged for mercy again and again.
Yu Youyao thought that the results of the scientific examination had not been released yet, and she was a little uneasy: "Has my second uncle ever said when the results of the scientific examination will be released? In previous years, the results were released ten days after the scientific examination."
It stands to reason that the results of the scientific examination should be released on February 19th. It is already 21 and the results have not been released yet?
These days, even the students taking the scientific examinations don't socialize much, and they wait all day for the news of the results.
Yu Shuangbai didn't answer, but looked at her curiously and asked, "When did you start caring about such things?"
Yu Youyao smiled: "I just feel strange, so I asked casually."
The second uncle first wanted to inform the second aunt about the movements in the court, so as to prevent the family house from getting involved in the court affairs and causing trouble. Young Master Yu Shuangbai had to be reminded by the second aunt.
Yu Shuangbai curled her lips: "Father said that there were some differences in the answers of several students in this scientific examination. The adults who marked the exams were all competing with each other, and the rankings were also controversial, so it will be done later. This kind of thing is
There are old rules to consult, it’s not a big deal, just let mother take care of the inner house.”
Yu Youyao nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
but!
Recently, I have often heard Nanny Xu mentioning what she had seen in the palace, and she has gained some understanding of the families in Beijing. Coupled with the matter of "appointed disciples", she has become particularly keen on some things.
.
She was certain that the delay in the imperial court releasing the results must be related to the matter of "appointed disciples".
The so-called "answer disputes" and "ranking disputes" may also be partisan disputes within the imperial court.
The second uncle and the Weining Houfu belong to different factions, and the two factions are fighting openly and covertly for their own interests. The "appointed disciple" is obviously a fraud in the scientific examination, and is to train or even recruit party members for the Weininghoufu faction. The second uncle learned from his grandmother.
After learning about the "promised disciple", it is impossible for the faction he belongs to to let him do whatever he wants.
The best way is to remain calm during the grading process and cut off the agreed disciples in the Weining Hou Mansion as much as possible. Even if they cannot be completely cut off, they still have to compete for rankings. The two sides will see each other, but
It's not an impasse.
When it comes to party interests, no one can retreat. It will probably take some time before the results are released.
Adding an updated chapter, I wish all my friends who are reading this article a Happy New Year. The weather is relatively cold during the New Year. Everyone should remember to keep warm when going out, wear masks, and take preventive measures against the new crown epidemic.
