All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao continued: "With this adoption, isn't the family messed up? Aunt Qiu's son can be adopted into the name of the wife, become an heir, and enjoy the name of a first-class son. Will Aunt Jiang want to give birth later? She is seriously accepted. If the concubine who came here has a son, will he also adopt it?"

Adopting her mother's name requires the consent of both her and the Xie family. It affects the interests of the entire Yu clan and is something the entire Yu clan is happy to see.

Even if Concubine Jiang felt unwilling, she could only knock out her teeth and blood and swallow it, not daring to have any objection on this matter.

But the Yang family has a successor, and the successor is also the old lady, and Yu Zongzheng opened his mouth.

Aunt Jiang is not so easy to give up.

This is a sign of chaos, how could such a shrewd grandmother do this?

Madam Xu said casually, "Sister Yang's illness has been more than two years old. The condition has come and gone, but it doesn't seem to get better. Now even the doctor doesn't come to the residence often, and he's still struggling. What kind of person do you think Yu Zongzheng is more suitable to marry into the palace as the successor?"

Yu Youyao's scalp exploded: "In the past few years, the government and the public have not been peaceful, and the marriage must be stable. Yu Zongzheng is already married for the third time, which has some influence on his reputation."

Although the second and third marriages are common in the DPRK, there are even fourth marriages, but it is undeniable that this matter is not good for the reputation of men.

"Yuzongzheng has two sons and three daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter above, and the son below. As the third marriage and the successor, it is enough to have the original wife at the top, but there is also a successor below. What is it? People from a similar family background are reluctant to marry their well-bred daughter to be his successor."

"And Yu Zongzheng, because of Yang's previous experience, is afraid that he is not very willing to marry a concubine as his successor. He would rather marry a concubine than a concubine with a similar family."

Mother Xu nodded: "That's it."

Yu Youyao's expression became complicated: "Aunt Jiang's family has been cultivated and studied for generations, and the master bookkeeper Jiang was born in the same jinshi, from the sixth-rank official position, neither big nor small, Aunt Jiang is still the first daughter of the family. Upbringing, my grandmother made a plan early in the morning, and when the Yang family left, she would straighten Aunt Jiang, even if she took care of Aunt Jiang’s face, it is unlikely that the grandmother would adopt Yu Shanming under the name of the Yang family.”

Concubine righting is not uncommon in all dynasties and dynasties.

Aunt Jiang came from this background, and no one said anything even if she was righteous. I'm afraid not only in the manor, but also in the entire capital, she was well aware of this matter.

No wonder Aunt Jiang was willing to marry her upbringing daughter into the Yu Mansion as a concubine.

She didn't think about it before, because she didn't pay attention to Yang's life and death, but this time, let Mother Xu break a little bit, and everything became clear.

Mother Xu sighed slightly: "Yang Shi has been ill like this, and she can't let her drag her home. Your grandmother is getting old, and many things can't be planned now, so you can't be involved in the matter of Aunt Jiang. It’s done once and for all.”

Given Mrs. Yu's character, if it wasn't for her helpless situation, she probably wouldn't have done the matter of concubine righting. Although it was not uncommon, it was not justifiable in terms of etiquette.

It's hard for Yu Youyao to say something wrong with this approach.

Yu Mansion is also a huge family business, and there are only a hundred people in the mansion, so it can't be left unattended.

The family's property also needs someone to take care of it, and there are elders in the family who are in urgent need of filial piety and care.

Every household is like this.

There are even many people whose original spouse is sick and has not died yet. They have already searched for others in secret. Some people, whose original spouse has dragged the sick body, have to pick good people in person, and when they die, they will welcome them into the mansion.

The husband mourned for his original spouse for half a year, and he has done his righteousness and deserves to be praised by others.

If you don't keep it for a day, no one will feel wrong.

Therefore, when Yu Zongzheng welcomed the Yang family into the mansion within 100 days of his mother, although there were some rumors about "lovely things" in the capital, no one thought it was wrong.

At that time, my grandmother was ill, and there was a newborn baby waiting to be fed at home. The family business was huge, and the original spouse gave up his hand. Who would take care of all this?

However, Yu Youyao couldn't agree with this kind of behavior: "I won't be involved in family affairs in the future."

In fact, after Concubine Jiang entered the mansion, she has not interfered much in the affairs of the mansion.

What Aunt Jiang can handle herself, she can handle it herself, and what she can't handle, as well as Mama Liu, there are fewer and fewer things in front of her.

She put more energy into Yaoxintang and trial planting with Zhuangshang.

After two years of operation, Yaoxintang has become more and more perfect. With the help of his cousin, Yu Youyao has made Yaoxintang in the north.

She selected women who were proficient in female red embroidery, and taught women and children in Yaoxintang, girls weaving, embroidery, tailoring, printing and dyeing, incense and so on.

On the one hand, I hope that in the future, they will be able to develop skills and have a better life.

On the other hand, Yaoxintang will buy the things they make according to the quality of their finished products, and then sell them through the store under the name of Yu Youyao. This is a win-win situation.

Every year, she prepares a batch of cotton-padded clothes for the North, all made by their hands.

Before I knew it, it was March.

Heaven has no way to go, and after three months of drought, it finally rained heavily.

The rain had only been raining for half an hour, but it also drenched the soil.

The people hurriedly started spring planting, lest they miss the season or miss the spring rain.

Mother Yue also seized the opportunity and quickly planted sweet potatoes into the ground. With this timely rain, this year's sweet potatoes are almost guaranteed to be harvested.

My cousin had finished the fourth course of treatment, and he was already able to walk a few steps while leaning against the wall. The progress of the recovery of his legs was much faster than Sun Bo expected.

Yu Youyao was not too happy.

She saw that the process of applying the needles became more and more painful day by day. After watching her cousin practice standing, her whole body collapsed. Apart from her distress, she had no other thoughts.

On the morning of the second day, after Yu Youyao accompanied her cousin to administer the needles, she went back to the Jade Courtyard and went to the kitchen to make Bazhen cakes, milk medicine cakes, and tortoises made by imitating the recipe of Guilingji before. age cake.

Turtle Age Cake has the health effects of strengthening the body, nourishing the brain, strengthening the kidney and qi. The taste is salty and fragrant, and my cousin likes it very much.

Although my cousin doesn't have a heavy appetite, even after eating Bazhen Cake and Milk Medicine Fragrant Cake for two or three years, I don't get tired of it.

But Yu Youyao is still actively experimenting with other healthy pastries, hoping to make her cousin change his taste often.

After making the cakes, Yu Youyao went back to the house and changed her clothes.

Xia Tao entered the room and said, "Miss, this morning's Spring Festival announcement."
