Old Madam Yu rolled her eyes at her. “You’ve enjoyed this blessing a lot.”
Old Madam Song laughed when she heard this.
Yu Youyao sat beside her grandmother and listened to the elders.
Nanny Xu had also said before that she was extrely talented in making incense. The things she made were spiritual. Similarly, the effects would be much better if she made them.
After adding the spiritual dew, this spirituality seed to have sublimated, and the effect was even better.
Yesterday, her grandmother had wanted to bring her to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. When she returned to the Jade Courtyard to change her clothes, she had taken two Musk dicinal Fragrance Pills without any spiritual dew and secretly replaced the ones her grandmother had given her.
Song Mingzhao had only used an ordinary Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill. However, even if it was ordinary, the effect was extrely good because it was made by her.
As the two elders spoke, they looked at Yu Youyao.
The Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife had a smile on her face. “It’s all thanks to Yao Yao that Mingzhao can wake up this ti. Not only that, but I was so focused on Mingzhao yesterday that I didn’t notice Old Madam’s health for a mont.
Fortunately, you’re a ticulous child. You realized that Old Madam had forced herself to stay awake and gave her a calming pill. Otherwise, Old Madam would really have suffered. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
It was a small matter for Old Madam to suffer, but she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to survive.
Yu Youyao quickly shook her head. “Imperial Physician Shi was the one who treated Young Master Song. I don’t dare to take credit. The ntal Suppression Pill is also used by ordinary grandmothers. It has a calming effect. Thinking that Grandmother Song was worried about Young Master Song, she must be feeling uneasy, so I gave her a pill. It’s naturally good to be able to help her!”
It was Imperial Physician Shi who had reminded the Zhenguo Marquis Residence that the Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill could save Song Mingzhao’s life.
The Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill had indeed played a crucial role in Song Mingzhao’s awakening. Later on, he had to use needles and dicine. It was all thanks to Imperial Physician Shi.
When Old Madam Song heard this, she looked at Old Madam Yu. “This child is as humble as you.”
It was obvious that she had saved soone’s life. It was nothing much for her to say it casually. If it were anyone else, they would have wanted her to repay her kindness.
After thanking them, she would have to give them a gift and owe them a favor.
Old Madam Song was not in good health, so it was not appropriate for her to stay in the Yu Residence for long. Song Mingzhao had just woken up, and only Song Wanhui was watching over the house. The Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife was also worried.
Hence, after chatting for an hour, Old Madam Song was about to leave.
Old Madam Yu did not ask her to stay either.
Yu Youyao prepared so fragrant tea and sent Old Madam Song and the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife out with her grandmother.
When they returned to An Shou Hall, Old Madam Yu looked at the gift list sent by the Marquis’s wife and handed it to Yu Youyao. “Take a look yourself!”
Yu Youyao took it and was a little surprised.
Just the thick stack of more than ten pages was already terrifying.
Most of the gifts were expensive dicinal herbs and spices. Not to ntion the Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill, even so expensive dicinal fragrances could be made.
They were clearly rare items that the Zhenguo Marquis Residence had accumulated for generations.
In addition, there were also many good teas, calligraphy, antiques, precious books, jade artifacts, and jewelry. They were given the most expensive gifts.
Yu Youyao clicked her tongue. “As expected of the oldest noble family in the capital. They’re really generous.”
Old Madam Yu nodded. “Just keep it. Don’t feel guilty. Just Song Mingzhao alone can compare to the entire warehouse of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. His future is very bright. The future glory of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence is still ahead. Besides, your Grandmother Song has benefited from you.”
If not for that, how could Old Madam Song have walked through the gates of hell the night before? The next day, she did not even pant and dragged her old body over early in the morning.
She owed her too much, so she had to show her sincerity.
After what happened today, anyone who was reasonable, cared about etiquette, and respected people, would have to show the sa amount of sincerity when asking for favors from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. They could not overdo it.
“If I don’t accept it, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence will be the one that will be anxious.” Yu Youyao couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. An old person who could live to such an old age like her grandmother was really smart. None of them were simple.
It was said that once you obtain benefits from others, you would be too ashad to ask for a favor.
After accepting such expensive and rare things from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, no matter what others did, at the very least, she would be too ashad to ask for that so-called “favor” from the Zhenguo Marquis
Residence.
This was the essence of how old people handled things.
With etiquette, their relationship was complete. Even this “favor” matter was reduced to a small matter.
Old Madam Yu laughed when she heard this. “One of the items is the Athyst Jade Coral that was given to the Marquis of Zhongyong by Emperor Gaozu after he ascended the throne back then. There’s no second one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. This is also because Old Master Song knows very well that anyone else probably wouldn’t be able to give up such a huge sum.”
Yu Youyao smiled. “That’s why it’s said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!”
Not only was the Athyst Jade Coral a rare treasure, but it could also be used as dicine and fragrance. She had an ancient prescription in her hand that needed the Athyst Jade Coral to be used as dicine. If she used it well, her cousin’s leg might recover sooner.
This Athyst Jade Coral was really useful.
Old Madam Yu glared at her. “The thank-you gift from the Zhenguo Marquis
Residence has arrived. That’s their business. It’s also a fact that you saved Song Mingzhao. Don’t be so stupid as to be embarrassed to ask for a favor after receiving so things from their family.”
Yu Youyao really couldn’t be thick-skinned anymore.
Although she was the one who had made the Musk dicinal Fragrance Pill, she really did not have the slightest self-awareness of saving Song Mingzhao’s life.
After receiving the thank-you gift from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, the precious dicinal herbs and spices she received were very useful. She also felt that she had taken advantage of it and really did not plan to ask for a favor.
Seeing her eyes flash, Old Madam Yu understood that she had really guessed correctly. She rolled her eyes at her. “In the future, if you encounter anything difficult, on the premise that it doesn’t affect the interests of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, you have to return the favor. Otherwise, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence will always owe you a favor. I’m afraid they won’t feel comfortable anymore.”
Yu Youyao thought about it carefully. Her grandmother made sense.
The Zhenguo Marquis Residence had sent over a large cart of thank-you gifts and acknowledged this “favor.” They had taken a detour to express that they were not afraid of owing a favor as long as it was within the Zhenguo Marquis Residence’s ability.
Yu Youyao returned to the Jade Courtyard.
Old Madam Yu had already gotten soone to send over the thank-you gift from the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.
Nanny Xu was instructing the servants to take stock, register, and record the items in the books.
The next day, Yu Youyao learned the palace etiquette for an hour in the morning. After washing up, she had a simple breakfast and went to the hot spring manor in the suburbs of the capital.
Although that manor was not far from the capital, the journey was not short..
