Chapter 664 Glorious Ancestral Skills

Immediately a palace maid came and placed a brocade table next to the Queen Mother.

Yu Youyao gathered her clothes and bowed, and responded obediently: "Yes!"

After completing the etiquette, she walked over with lowered eyebrows and sat down beside the Queen Mother in a proper manner.

Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and well-behaved, the Queen Mother smiled a little deeper. She turned to look at Mrs. Yu who was still standing, and said warmly: "You should also sit down, don't suffer from standing still."

Mrs. Yu bowed her head to thank her, and the little palace maid helped her sit on a cushioned chair.

The Queen Mother liked Yu Youyao and took her hand: "Good boy, what books have you read at home?"

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he held her hand cordially, just like a loving elder. Even the questions he asked were the same as ordinary elders. They usually ask questions after meeting a junior, without any airs.

Unconsciously, people let down their guard and forgot that the person in front of them was the high and mighty Queen Mother.

Yu Youyao smiled shyly and replied in a low voice: "The family invited a female teacher to read the "Female Commandments", "Internal Training", "Women's Language Theory", and also read the "Four Books" and a little bit of the "Five Classics"."

Reading Nüshu is to understand morality, reading the Four Books is to understand principles, and the Five Classics is to understand etiquette.

This is what all ladies should learn from.

The Empress Dowager smiled deeply: "It is good to read more books. If a woman reads more, she will also know etiquette and morality, know good things and do good deeds." At this point, she changed the topic and said: "The female gentleman who teaches you is

Ye Yingqiu is a person with both talents and virtues. In the early years, when she was not divorced, she followed her mother-in-law to the palace to visit the Ai family. The Ai family liked her for making pens, and they have used her for many years and got used to it."

It seemed as if they were just chatting about family affairs, but every word was virtuous and courteous, which made Yu Youyao not dare to be careless: "Grandma also said that as a descendant of the Yu family, you need to read more books in order to remember the virtues of your ancestors, glorify your ancestors' achievements, and live up to the humiliation of your ancestors.

Family tradition," speaking of this, she

She pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Mr. Ye Nv also often teaches that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. This statement cannot be taken out of context. It does not mean that women do not need to study to be talented, but it is an admonition to women that they should be virtuous. If they do not have talent, they must be virtuous.

Virtue, if you have talent, you must also have virtue."

What are the ancestral virtues and merits of the Yu clan?

It was nothing more than the word "loyalty" given by Emperor Gaozu himself, and every word of the Empress Dowager's words was "virtue", so she naturally had to accept this word.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her smile deepened and she patted her hand: "Everyone in your Yu family is loyal and dedicated, and the Emperor and the Ai family will also remember it."

She glanced at Yu Youyao.

The slender and frail girl was sitting next to her, but she didn't show any panic or timidity. She had her legs together and her hands folded on her legs. She sat upright with her slim and slim body, and her back was thin and straight.

But it is not rigid or stiff, but has a noble and soft attitude that never takes its time.

Although such a gesture is polite and good, when she is in front of a noble person, people will inevitably think that she is disrespectful to the noble person.

However, her shoulders naturally slumped down, and her neck bent a little lower, revealing a meek and respectful attitude.

Anyone who looks at it will exclaim: "What a character!"

The Queen Mother took a look at the white porcelain beauty vase on the Duobao Pavilion. The delicate porcelain was whiter and smoother than jade. The slender neck of the vase was very much like the jade neck of Shaoyi County Lord.

Smooth and beautiful.

Regardless of her status, she really admired Yu Youyao: "No one is as good at teaching as your grandmother."

These words were obviously praising her grandmother, but they were also praising her in a different way. Yu Youyao smiled shyly, not wanting to mention her elders' words, so she subconsciously rubbed the palace ribbon around her waist.

The Queen Mother noticed her behavior and looked down. Yu Youyao had a colorful silk ribbon around her waist that only clan members were eligible to wear, and a palace ribbon on it.

This was probably the palace ribbon that she asked Aunt Shen to pick out and give to Yu Youyao.

The Empress Dowager smiled again: "I am young and pure because of my integrity. I can look at you and laugh at the same time. I admire you for being kind and graceful. I am named Youqing when I was young. I am clean for my integrity and my heart is kind and virtuous." At this point , she paused for a moment, and then said: "When I saw you today, it turned out just as the Ai family thought back then, it was your grandmother who taught you character and virtue."

This was what the Queen Mother said to her back then. Yu Youyao was flattered: "I am ashamed of myself!"

The Queen Mother patted her hand and changed the topic: "Good boy, the Rongjun Prince's actions were too ridiculous earlier, and you were wronged."

Yu Youyao's eyes turned red and she quickly said: "The Emperor and the Queen Mother love my daughter very much and uphold justice for her. I am deeply touched by the Emperor's kindness and am deeply touched by it beyond words." After saying this, she stood up suddenly and walked away. Go to the Queen Mother, kneel down and worship: "I heard that the Queen Mother is worried about the drought, sympathizes with the suffering of the people, and wants to raise money for disaster relief. I am also willing to share the worries and solve the problems for the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and to help thousands of people in this great Zhou Dynasty." Tens of thousands of people are doing their best to help."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little maid waiting in front of her handed the brocade box in her hand back to Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao reached out to take it and raised the brocade box high above her head: "Although I don't have the virtues of the Queen Mother, I still have the heart to follow virtues."

The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt Shen.

Aunt Shen quickly stepped forward and took the brocade box.

The Empress Dowager then said warmly: "You are interested, please get up quickly. You are the lord of Shaoyi County bestowed by the Emperor, and you have a clan title. Don't kneel down at every turn."

Yu Youyao lowered his head and wiped away his tears, and said hoarsely: "My lord, I would like to thank the Emperor and the Queen Mother for your grace."

After saying this, she bowed again and then let the palace maid help her up and sit on the brocade.

The Queen Mother put the handkerchief into her hand: "Wipe your tears quickly, the emperor has made you the lord of Shaoyi County. From now on, no one will dare to bully you at will, whether you are a clan member or a foreign minister. There you go."

This is considered a promise.

But how heavy the commitment is depends on how much money she has donated.

Yu Youyao lowered her eyes and carefully took the veil from the Queen Mother. After wiping her tears, she handed it to the maid waiting at the side.

The palace maid quickly handed over a cup of tea.

Yu Youyao used some, and then his mood calmed down a little: "I have sixty grain and oil shops and twenty medicine shops in the south of the Yangtze River. I have sent my old servants from home to Zhejiang with tokens to sell these grain, oil and medicinal materials. Transferred to Zhejiang to assist General Ye Shen and the officials specially sent by the imperial court to rescue the people."

Just now we donated money for the drought, now we are donating food for the floods.

Sixty rice shops, twenty medicine shops, grain, oil and medicinal materials are all profitable businesses, and they add up to a large sum of money.

The Empress Dowager solemnly shook her hand: "Shaoyi County Lord, you understand the great righteousness. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Emperor and the millions of people in this great Zhou Dynasty."

After struggling for a long time, I still decided to pull out everyone with cards in the palace for a sneak peek. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be the first time and the last time for my little cousin to enter the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were many people in this palace and my cousin.

There were more or less entanglements, and in the end, I didn’t even meet anyone, which was a bit unreasonable~ So the plot in the palace will end tomorrow~ Don’t feel like it’s delayed, there are some characters that the little cousins ​​will have to interact with in the future~
