MTL - Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor-Chapter 86 Cousin
Yu Qingjia walked into the yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard bursts of laughter coming from the room.
Yu Qingjia turned the screen, and the people inside saw her, their voices fell silent, and then the maids stood up and saluted her: "Miss Six."
There was another woman who stood up, and when Li saw her movement, she pressed her hand dissatisfiedly: "Cousin, you are an elder, how can you stand up to greet her?"
The woman was wearing a light blue skirt. Although the fabric was passable, the sleeves were a bit short, and there were even old wear marks on the edges, which showed that it had been worn for a long time. The woman was very surprised when she saw Yu Qingjia. She realized that she had made a fool of herself, and quickly closed her mouth and bowed her head: "I am a bereaved person. Thanks to my cousin and Laojun, I am willing to take me in. I am lucky to be older, but my age Comparable to Miss Fourth, how dare I really call myself an elder?"
Mr. Yu seems to be in good spirits today. Hearing the woman's words, he said solemnly: "Growth is long, and young is young. How can you change your seniority just because you are young. You are Li's cousin, so you can be regarded as Si Niang and her husband." Liu Niang's cousin, sit down with peace of mind."
The woman looked at Mr. Yu and Mrs. Li, looking in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. Seeing this, Yu Qingjia chuckled inwardly, took a step forward, and said, "It turned out to be Aunt Biao. Liu Niang has never seen Aunt Biao before, so she didn't know how to address her just now, so she was rude."
The woman took the initiative to avoid Yu Qingjia and saluted, and then returned the half salute: "I didn't pay a visit in a hurry and disturbed the old man and the ladies." After finishing speaking, the woman took another careful look at Yu Qingjia, then turned to look at Li Shi, with hesitant eyes: "This one, is the sixth lady of the family?"
Yu Qingjia nodded yes, and said, "I am sixth and my name is Qingjia. I don't know how to call my cousin?"
"I dare not take it." The woman hurriedly said, "My surname is Liu, and my name is Liusu."
Liu Liusu and Yu Qingjia silently recited the name in their hearts, smiled and praised routinely, but didn't pay much attention to it in their hearts. There is no big family surnamed Liu in Yanzhou, and Li's natal family had never heard of this relative when they came to visit before. Combined with Liu Liusu's clothes that are expensive but already showing old clothes, it can be guessed that this is probably her special purpose to meet guests. The clothes have been worn for a long time. Putting it all together, it is not difficult to imagine that Liu Liusu's family used to be prosperous, but later the family fell into decline. In Liu Liusu's generation, the clothes can only rely on the good materials accumulated by the ancestors to support the scene, and even have to travel thousands of miles with only a little blood. His distant cousin, Li Shi, can be seen from Liu Liusu's background.
Yu Qingjia didn't mean to look down on Liu Liusu. In a troubled world, it's always a precarious situation. The defeat or even destruction of a family is just a momentary thing. Just like what she saw in her dream, the Yu family, which is famous for a few years, will also be destroyed overnight. In the meantime, he was buried in a sea of flames, and all his years of accumulation were burned. If the Yu family is like this, how could Yu Qingjia look down on Liu Liusu. It's just that Yu Qingjia is very narrow-minded, she doesn't have any opinion on Liu Liusu, but Liu Liusu is Li's cousin, so Yu Qingjia will not befriend her because of this alone.
After asking each other's names, Yu Qingjia politely nodded and smiled at Liu Liusu, and then looked away. However, Liu Liusu couldn't help but look at her secretly, amazed.
She has long known from her mother that she has a distant cousin who is the eldest grandson-in-law of the Yu family. This time, she has made full preparations early in the morning. She put on her best clothes and kept her makeup perfect. Everyone in the Yu family. She has always been very proud of her appearance, and this time her careful dressing is even more brilliant. Liu Liusu has been holding back her energy and waiting for everyone to be amazed by her, but the Yu family's reaction was flat when they saw her. Liu Liusu was wondering to herself. From her point of view, Mr. Yu was already very old. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yu Qingya didn't have outstanding looks. Although the other wives and ladies were a little better than Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, they were pampered by their aristocratic families. They are not much higher. In this situation, Liu Liusu's appearance and demeanor should amaze everyone, but why did the Yu family's reaction be mediocre?
Liu Liusu couldn't figure it out, and finally attributed the reason to the fact that the Yu family is a big family, both the master and the maid are well-trained, and their emotions are invisible. Until Liu Liusu heard the voice and looked up, and saw a woman wearing a white jacket and a ginger-yellow dress lift the curtain and enter, and the spring scenery in the garden cast a white halo around her. In an instant, it was like the moon rising in the east, returning to the wind and snow, and ten miles of spring breeze and ten miles of flowers.
Liu Liusu was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. After she realized it, she quickly restrained her expression and said hello. Behind Yu Qingjia smiled lightly and was well-mannered, but she couldn't say how enthusiastic she was. Liu Liusu secretly evaluated for a while, and had to admit that the woman in front of her was impeccable in terms of appearance, figure, and manner of speaking. Liu Liusu used to rely on her beauty, but when she was in front of Yu Qingjia, she knew what a firefly and a bright moon were.
It's no wonder that everyone in the Yu family was very calm when they saw Liu Liusu just now. If they saw such a beauty every day, it's no wonder that they would be indifferent to the delicate beauty.
Liu Liusu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. It was Liu Liusu's first visit to Yu's house, and all the female relatives had to sit with her for a while, asking about her parents, family, and experiences on the road. Yu Wenjun didn't know that there was a visitor today, he came to greet Mr. Yu as usual, and he was stunned when he saw the room full of pearls and emeralds after entering the door.
Yu Qingjia kept smiling, just listening but not talking. She was the first to notice Yu Wenjun's arrival, and stood up with a smile: "Father."
"Jiajia." Yu Wenjun approached, and the others stood up one after another to salute. Just now Liu Liusu was surrounded in the middle and couldn't see clearly, but now that the crowd dispersed, Liu Liusu, a stranger, suddenly stood out. Yu Wenjun was surprised and asked, "This is..."
Liu Liusu is a relative of Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li should have introduced: "This is my cousin, her surname is Liu, and her boudoir name is Liusu. My cousin passed away at the beginning of this year. She was lonely and helpless, so I wrote a letter to pick her up. Come here. Regardless of Liusu's seniority, she is actually only sixteen this year."
Yu Wenjun said "Oh", nodded and greeted Liu Liusu, but didn't pay much attention to the rest. He had the same thought as Yu Qingjia, this is a relative of the Li family, anyway, the Yu family is not short of raising one more person, so take over as soon as they are taken over, there is nothing to care about. In fact, a woman's boudoir name can't be freely told to outsiders, but Li Shi hasn't seen her natal family for a long time, and when she suddenly saw a cousin, she felt excited, so she said it carelessly. In her heart, her cousin was not considered an outsider, and neither was Yu Wenjun.
Ever since Yu Wenjun entered the room, Yu Qingya's eyes moved from side to side, with a half-smile. When Liu Liusu heard Yu Qingjia call Yu Wenjun "Father", she was very surprised, and couldn't help secretly looking at Yu Wenjun. Yu Wenjun's figure was tall and straight, his eyes were sharp, and his gestures were graceful. Liu Liusu thought that this was a prince from the Yu family, but he didn't expect to be the father of Yu Qingjia and Yu Qingya.
Liu Liusu sneaked a few glances, and when she looked back, she happened to meet Yu Qingya's eyes. Yu Qingya seemed to be looking at her all the time, and when she saw this she smiled at her, as if she understood something, Liu Liusu was taken aback, her cheeks were flushed, and she quickly turned her gaze away.
When Liu Liusu first arrived, Mr. Yu was full of energy, but after a certain point, her energy suddenly plummeted, and she was so sluggish that she couldn't even open her eyes. Seeing this, all the girls left one after another.
Liu Liusu naturally walked with Li's mother and daughter. After entering the big house, Liu Liusu looked around indiscriminately and asked, "Cousin, this is where you and your wife live. Is it convenient for me to live here?"
Mrs. Li was pulling Liu Liusu excitedly along the way, and when she heard this, the smile on her face froze suddenly: "Naturally it is convenient. Da Lang lives in the study in the outer courtyard these days, you can live with me at ease. "
The study in the outer courtyard? Liu Liusu's eyebrows twitched quickly, and then she lowered her head to cover it up. She tutored the Yu family's homework on the way. She knew that the eldest son of the Yu family had two wives, the eldest and the second wife. Liu Liusu originally thought that Li's family should have the upper hand because she is the leader, but now it seems that she can't even keep her husband in her room for the night?
Since Mrs. Li let Liu Liusu live in peace of mind, it is conceivable that Yu Wenjun may not only live in the study for a few days. After all, Liu Liusu is unmarried, even if Mingjie is not so fatal, it is not a decent thing to bump into her cousin's husband.
Liu Liusu was thoughtful, and she was placed in the side room by Mrs. Li. Liu Liusu looked at the crane at the head of the desk and spit out green smoke. Such a scene only appeared in Liu Liusu's mother's narration. Liu Liusu sat staring for a while, then suddenly got up and asked, "I haven't called on Miss Fourth, where does Miss Fourth live?"
Yu Qingya was talking to the system in the room, the system's voice suddenly stopped, and after a while, it said: "Host, she is here."
Yu Qingya restrained her expression, sat upright and took a sip of tea slowly. Liu Liusu entered the door and smiled at Yu Qingya: "Si Niangzi, I suddenly wanted to talk to you, so I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"
Yu Qingya smiled: "No, how could it be? Aunt Biao, sit down."
Yu Qingya waved her hand to ask Hongluan to put buttermilk on Liu Liusu. Liu Liusu knelt and sat opposite Yu Qingya, raised her hand and took a sip of the buttermilk, pressed her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Si Niangzi, I came here rashly, and I have caused you trouble today."
"What is my cousin talking about?" Yu Qingya looked at Liu Liusu with an inexplicable smile in her eyes, "My aunt only has me as an only daughter, and I have no brothers or sisters around me. Suddenly there is a young and beautiful cousin Come and accompany me, it's too late for me and A Niang to be happy, why do you think you are troublesome?"
"Si Niangzi, as long as I don't bother you." Liu Liusu held the cup in his hand, and seemed to mention it unintentionally, "What I saw in the Yu family today really opened my eyes. Along the way, not only the scenery is beautiful, but the people are also exceptionally beautiful, and the gentlemen and ladies of the Yu family are the best among them."
"Biao Auntie is being polite, but I don't dare to take it." Yu Qingya declined with a smile, then she changed her voice and said, "It's not that I'm shameless and flattering my sisters, I don't dare to take it myself, but my sixth sister is really beautiful and intelligent It can bear the name of Zhong Lingyuxiu that my aunt said."
Liu Liusu continued: "Si Niang is self-effacing, but speaking of Miss Six, she was truly astounded when she saw her today. I don't know who the mother of Miss Six is. I'm afraid this lady is also extremely outstanding for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter. Is she a beauty?"
"Aunt Yu has passed away, and now the second room has only six sisters and one child, and there is no mistress."
"Oh?" Liu Liusu rolled his eyes and asked calmly, "It's a pity that Mrs. Yu has passed away from illness. But what I saw today, Da Lang was in his prime of life with outstanding demeanor. Mrs. Yu just passed away? Why else? Da Lang won't remarry?"
"My aunt passed away five years ago." Yu Qingya said with a smile, "As for why my father didn't remarry, I don't know. It might be, don't worry about my sixth sister."
Liu Liusu didn't speak, her eyelids drooped, covering her eyes, and she couldn't see clearly, but she could see her eyelashes fluttering rapidly, obviously thinking about something. After a while, Liu Liusu raised his head and said with a smile, "Liu Niangzi is cute and beautiful. The first time I saw her, I wanted to get close to her. How could anyone be willing to treat her harshly? Da Lang really has a heart for loving girls."
"Isn't it?" Yu Qingya said with a smile, "Auntie left early, and she has no other children except for the sixth younger sister. The old gentleman is also worried these two days. My father has no son until now. Although there is sixth younger sister under his knee , but the sixth younger sister is a married woman, and she will leave after all, so she can't be regarded as a family incense. And when the sixth younger sister gets married, there will be no one to take care of the second house, so what should I do?"
Liu Liusu's eyes moved, she smiled and said nothing. In this conversation, both of them knew each other. Yu Qingya saw that the fire was almost ready, so she asked Hongluan to take out a box and said, "Biao Aunt may not believe it, but I feel close to you as soon as I see you, as if you have known each other for many years." It's like an old friend. This is the jewelry that my aunt gave me a few years ago, and it doesn't fit me well. Looking at it now, it's clearly kept by my cousin. Cousin, try it on."
Liu Liusu hastily declined, but Yu Qingya insisted. Liu Liusu couldn't refuse, so she took it halfway and put the hairpin on her head. Yu Qingya looked around, nodded and praised, "Biao Aunt is really beautiful and beautiful. This hairpin is very suitable for Biao Aunt, as if she was born to belong to Biao Aunt."
Liu Liusu supported the hairpin, lowered her head and said, "Where, Si Niangzi is teasing me again."
"I'm serious about what I say." Yu Qingya picked up the fan and patted it, and said meaningfully, "This hairpin is very suitable for my cousin, and I'm afraid it's not as good as the original owner. My aunt loves to wear light blue in front of her." dress, but that was already five or six years ago, how can it be as young and fresh as Aunt Biao, with a lively look and fragrance?"
Liu Liusu read a sentence silently, couldn't help but raised his hand to support the hairpin, looked up at Yu Qingya, and smiled softly: "Thank you, Si Niang."
"Where, I also want to relieve Laojun's worries."
The next day, Yu Qingjia went to pay her respects as usual. When the maid lifted the curtain for her, she seemed to glance at her quickly, and then lowered her head. Yu Qingjia felt strange in her heart, she secretly wrote down this incident, and walked into Yu Laojun's room with no emotion. As soon as she raised her head, Yu Qingjia's pupils suddenly constricted.
Liu Liusu had her mother's hairpin on her hairpin, and she was wearing a light blue suit, very similar to Yu's style of dressing. Yu Qingjia's eyes stayed on Liu Liusu's hairpin for a while, and immediately understood everything.
No wonder Mr. Yu's spirit suddenly improved yesterday, and he insisted on letting everyone see Liu Liusu. No wonder Yu Qingya was like a butterfly yesterday, her eyes kept wandering.
It turned out that her purpose was here.
