Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Shuangbai and the others understood and went to school obediently the next day.
Ms. Ye said aningfully, “It’s actually not worth being proud of your talent. What’s terrifying is that not only are so people talented, but they’re also more hardworking than you.”
These casual words made Yu Shuangbai and the others blush.
If Ms. Ye had just said that casually, they wouldn’t have taken it to heart.
However, there was soone else in the Yu Residence who said this. Not only was she talented, but she was also more hardworking than them.
Their big sister, Yu Youyao!
As sisters, although they were not comparing themselves with her, they still felt ashad.
When Old Madam Yu found out about this, she couldn’t help but look gratified. “Yao Yao is becoming more and more capable of being filial to her elders and teaching her younger siblings.”
A good daughter leads to a prosperous family.
The Old Madam of the Yu Residence did not count on the older generation of the Yu Residence anymore. She only counted on the younger generation.
When Madam Yao found out, she had a complicated expression.
She felt that her upbringing towards Shuangbai was not bad. Shuangbai was better than ordinary people at learning the rules, the principles, and the ways of the world.
However, Yu Youyao was not an ordinary person.
Madam Yao sighed slightly. “In the past, I didn’t think much of the sisters from the first branch. Yu Youyao is a little smart, but she wasn’t raised by her mother and was pampered by Old Madam. She’s lazy and insensible, and she’s not as sensible as Shuangbai. Yu Jianjia is sensible and obedient. She’s considered the smartest person in the family, but her body is very weak and she’s not as smart as Shuangbai. Yu Qingning is the daughter of a concubine, but she’s spoilt. It’s obvious that she’s not obedient…”
At the thought of everything that had happened in the first branch recently, her heart turned cold for no reason.
Yu Qingning was locked up in the courtyard and couldn’t co out easily.
Madam Yang moved into the Tranquil Heart Residence and beca an abandoned woman.
Yu Jianjia went to the manor to recuperate.
Yu Shansi had moved to the front courtyard and was personally raised by his uncle. It was said that he had suffered a lot recently.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that all of this was related to Yu Youyao. However, Yu Youyao had done her best, and no one in the residence had said anything bad about her.
Her uncle, who had always hated her, trusted Yu Youyao in every way, and the servants were also controlled by her.
Even though Eldest Uncle had participated in the three divisions’ trial, his family had arranged it well.
She was so scheming at such a young age. No ordinary person could compare to her.
Three days later, Yu Youyao received the second letter from Yin San and four large boxes.
Yu Youyao couldn’t wait to open the letter. “The fragrance of roses is the strongest. It’s clear but not turbid, and it’s not overpowering. It will ease the liver, awaken the stomach, regulate the qi, and nourish the blood. It’s suitable for brewing wine, making tea, mixing incense, adding into dicine, and cooking. The overall situation has been decided. Don’t worry!”
These words made Yu Youyao overjoyed.
Opening the box that Yin San had brought, the strong fragrance of roses assailed her nose. Yu Youyao’s eyes were imdiately attracted by the box full of red and charming flat Yin roses.
Yin San said, “The roses produced in Pingyin County in Shandong are tributes from the royal family in every dynasty. At this ti, the roses were blooming.
Young Master chose the most beautiful roses and ordered to use the Mystic Ice box to preserve them and the Ferghana Horse to travel 600 kiloters to ensure that the roses would be sent into the capital as fresh as possible.”
He wrapped the ice in a blanket and then wrapped it around the box containing the roses. Fortunately, Shandong was only 600 kiloters away from the capital, so the best ferghana horse could arrive in a day.
“It’s really beautiful!” Yu Youyao was pleasantly surprised. She picked one and held it in her hand.
The rose was as big as a peony, beautiful and fragrant. The spikes on the stem and leaves had already been removed. The green leaves on the flowers were vibrant. They were dazzlingly beautiful.
Yu Youyao leaned closer and took a whiff. The strong fragrance was refreshing. “In ancient tis, there was a concubine who smiled as she brought over a box of red. No one knew that it contained lychees. Today, Cousin smiled and asked soone to ride over. No one knew that there were roses.”
She had applied lipstick made of Chinese roses today. The bright red color was not inferior to roses. The beautiful rose color made her lips look beautiful and thick.
If her cousin was in Guangdong now, he would probably send them to the capital at full speed.
Yu Youyao asked, “How’s the situation in Shandong?”
It had been almost a month since the anti-rebel army had settled in Shandong, but there had been no movent.
During this period of ti, there were so rumors in the capital.
Yin San thought of what Young Master had “specially” instructed him and said, “It’s all thanks to Young Miss’s incense that Young Master has saved a lot of trouble. The clans have already caused a commotion.”
With the clans making a fuss, the overall situation was settled. Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief and asked about her cousin’s health. After knowing that he was fine, she finally felt relieved.
Yu Youyao wrote a reply to her cousin and rambled on for more than ten pages, all of which were trivial matters. Then, she prepared a lot of food, incense pills, and so on and handed them to Yin San.
After Yin San left, Yu Youyao played with the roses in her hand.
Four boxes of roses seed like a lot, but they weren’t that many. She planned to use the roses to brew a small jar of rose wine and make a small jar of rose sauce. When her cousin returned and the rose wine was ready, she would use the rose sauce to make various snacks. She would drink the rose wine and share the snacks with her cousin.
The remaining roses had to be made into rose tea to nourish her face. She also had to make flower dew to moisturize her face. In addition, she had to mix so dew to nourish her blood and qi.
The color of the flat Yin rose was a little darker and more beautiful than the Chinese roses. The lipstick made would also be more beautiful and pure.
While the roses were still fresh, Yu Youyao worked in the incense room for an entire day. At first, she finished dealing with the fresh roses, then she worked???????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????for another three to four davs before she was completely done.In addition, Yu Youyao also inford on the maidservants in the courtyard. “My mother planted the roses in a manor in Tongzhou. They’re rare and difficult to nurture, so I didn’t pick many. I plan to keep them for myself. Don’t make it public.”
The maidservants all understood the severity of the matter.
Although roses were not rare, roses of good breeds were very precious. There were not many to begin with, so it was not good to give one away. To prevent comparisons, it was better to not give away any roses.
In the blink of an eye, it was August. It had been a month since her cousin had left for Shandong.
Yu Youyao received an invitation from Song Wanhui.
It turned out that on the seventh of August, Song Wanhui had invited Yu Youyao to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence for a small gathering on her eleventh birthday.
In her nightmare, Big Yao Yao had married into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence and eventually died tragically. Yu Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel a little repulsed by the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.
She suddenly received the invitation and was at a loss.
Old Madam Yu still thought that she was worried about the family, so she said, “It’s also because the capital hasn’t been peaceful recently. The families are living close to each other. Otherwise, we should go to the families we i re familiar with. It’s rare for the Third Miss of the Song family to celebrate her birthday, so let’s have fun. It’s very boring to stay at ho all day..”
