Chapter 205 - 205 Little Master


205 Little Master


At this point, the little girl wrinkled her little nose. “This isn’t like me. I like to eat sweet food and not sour food at all.”


Zhou Linghuai took out a blue handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the little girl’s eyes. The little girl was very obedient and allowed him to wipe her tears.


The little girl chattered on and on. “Mother told me that every longevity lock she made for me has a different meaning. Unfortunately, I broke one. However…” her eyes lit up and she said happily, “Perhaps it’s precisely because my mother is here to protect me that I’ve avoided disaster.”


The thief was fierce and did not even blink when he was killed.


The little girl was pure and clear-minded. She did not need his comfort and had already thought it through. Zhou Linghuai nodded. “If you’re well in the future, I believe your mother will be at ease in heaven.”


Yu Youyao nodded vigorously. Thinking about how she had cried just now and how she must look very sorry, and how her cousin had even seen it, she quickly covered her face with a handkerchief. “Cousin, I’ll go back to my room to wash up first. I’ll be back soon.”


With that, before her cousin could react, she had already run away. Her figure was cheerful, and the atmosphere in the Jade Courtyard, which was heavy just a moment ago, instantly became lively.


Zhou Linghuai suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, and his grip on the armrest loosened.


The little girl left quickly and returned quickly.


She had changed into a pink and white b.u.t.terfly dress. When she ran, her dress fluttered like a b.u.t.terfly. The b.u.t.terflies embroidered on her dress immediately seemed to come alive and fly with her, making her look even more beautiful.


Yu Youyao squatted in front of her cousin and held his hand. Her eyes lit up. “Cousin, you’ve been taking Essence Protection Pills for a few days. You look much better than before. Even your hands aren’t as cold as before.”


Zhou Linghuai smiled and nodded.


After accompanying her cousin for a while, Yu Youyao met Nanny Yue and the others again to discuss the rules.


It was inevitable that Madam’s dowry business had something to do with the Yu Residence. Nanny Yue and the others were also aware that Eldest Miss had previously set new rules. Now that the rules had been implemented for a period of time, results could be seen. They were all under Eldest Madam Xie’s command. After Eldest Madam Xie pa.s.sed away, her little master, Yu Youyao, was also very supportive of her.


After that, Yu Youyao asked, “Is there a new seed from the Imperial Court on our farm?”


Nanny Yue nodded. “It’s just a symbolic planting. There are many new seeds distributed by the Imperial Court every year. No one has planted them before, so it’s not good for the time being. Not to mention that it’s tiring, but there hasn’t been any harvest in the end. In the past, they were a little more important, but these years, the times are good, and the current emperor doesn’t value them as much as the previous emperor, so no one cares too much.”


Yu Youyao frowned. “We still have to find a few people to plant it carefully. It doesn’t matter if there’s no harvest. In any case, I’m not short of those few acres of harvest profits. The key is the Imperial Court’s matters. We can’t be perfunctory. We don’t have to care about how other families are doing. We just have to care about our own matters.”


She always felt that the court was tense. In this way, she had to be careful about everything at home.


In addition, it was also a good idea to plant new seeds. If they could be harvested, it would also be a good thing. Her grandmother at home paid respects to Buddha, so everything had to be done well.


Nanny Yue nodded. “You’re right. I’ll look for a few people to take care of this matter later.”


This was not something too important. It only needed some arrangements.


Yu Youyao nodded. “My cousin has a few old servants at home. They’re all useful people. You can meet them tomorrow and let them do this!”


This suggestion made sense.


Even Nanny Yue couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Eldest Miss was smart and sensible, and she did things that made people feel comfortable. “We’ll follow Eldest Miss’s arrangements.”


The manpower in the dowry industry was all arranged properly. If they rashly arranged for new people to enter, not to mention that the old servants would not be happy, the jobs were not that easy to arrange. How could they move so easily?


Eldest Miss had taken the initiative to mention the planting of new seeds in the manor because she wanted to arrange for them to be planted here.


Firstly, it was true that the manor did not take this matter very seriously. Eldest Miss had only needed to say the word to arrange for someone to go over. Secondly, planting new seeds was not too important, and the old servants would not think too much about it. Thirdly, this job was very light, so that the old servants of the Zhou family would have a suitable place to go.


It seemed that Eldest Miss was indeed as kind as Madam. All these years, Old Madam had also personally raised Eldest Miss. It was not in vain that Madam had made such arrangements before she died.


Yu Youyao left Nanny Yue and the others to have lunch in the residence.


When Old Madam Yu received the news, she looked at the porridge and dishes on the table and immediately lost her appet.i.te. She waved her hand and said, “There’s no need to keep telling me about Yao Yao’s movements in the future. She has grown up and has a way of doing things. There’s no need for me, her grandmother, to watch over her.”


Nanny Liu was also helpless. She wanted to persuade her, but she did not know how.


At this moment, Qing Xiu entered. “Old Madam, Liu’er from Eldest Miss’s courtyard is here.”


Old Madam Yu was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Nanny Liu.


Nanny Liu smiled and explained, “Liu’er is the G.o.ddaughter of Old Madam Ma. She was originally working in First Madam’s house. Later, she committed a crime and was sent to the outer courtyard by First Madam. Eldest Miss pitied Liu’er’s poor life, so she sent Liu’er to her courtyard. She took on the role of Qiu Xing’s errand girl and asked her to serve her in the study. Liu’er’s just recovered, so she went to the Jade Courtyard to take on the job.”


It was also this sentence that allowed Old Madam Yu to understand the crux of the matter. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Yao Yao is growing up, and the girls in front of her are indeed not enough. We have to choose a few more capable servants. Let her in!”


It was probably because Old Madam Ma had caused a ruckus and embarra.s.sed Yang Shuwan, and the main courtyard couldn’t accommodate Liu’er. Yao Yao had to help out a little out of consideration for the servants, which was why she had made this arrangement.


However, Old Madam Ma was wholeheartedly on her side, so it didn’t matter that Yao Yao had used Liu’er.


Qing Xiu received the order and left.


Immediately after, Liu’er entered the house to greet Old Madam Yu.


Old Madam Yu’s eyes lit up when she first saw the dumplings that Liu’er had placed in the wooden tray. Then, she saw that this girl was thin and weak. She looked a little ordinary, but she also looked a little delicate and pretty. She was even more satisfied. “Old Madam Ma is a good person. You’re her G.o.ddaughter, so I think you’re not bad. Work hard when you’re at the Jade Courtyard.”


Liu’er was flattered and agreed repeatedly. Then, she told her the reason for her visit. “It’s April, and it’s the Buddha Bathing Festival. Old Madam eats more lightly than usual. Seeing that Old Madam had lost a lot of weight, Young Miss was worried that Old Madam’s body wouldn’t be able to take it anymore, so she personally went to the kitchen to make nourishing medicinal cuisine for Old Madam to nourish her body.”
