“Third Sister, you’re too polite.” Yu Youyao also picked up her wine ss and finished the chrysanthemum wine in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she put down the wine ss in her hand, Yu Shansi also picked up his wine ss and walked up to Yu Youyao. He cupped his hands and bowed. “Third Sister is right. Grandmother is old, Mother is seriously ill, and Third Sister’s health isn’t good. I’m still young. The people in the family are all under Eldest Sister’s meticulous care. You’ve worked hard to manage the household, respect your elders, treat my mother’s illness, and take care of your younger siblings. I toast this ss of wine to Eldest Sister.”
Yu Shuangbai and the others joined in the fun and toasted her.
Not to mention that as the eldest sister, Yu Youyao usually took care of them a lot. In school, she was also an example and helped her sisters study hard.
Yu Youyao drank the wine with a clear conscience.
Yu Youyao was respected by her younger siblings. This also proved that she had the demeanor of a legitimate elder, reflecting the family style and upbringing of the Yu Residence.
The elders watched from the side and were also happy!
However, Yu Jianjia was not so happy.
She had toasted Yu Youyao so that her father would know that not only was Yu Youyao thorough, but his third daughter was also polite and sensible.
However, she did not expect Yu Shansi to interfere.
Even Yu Shuangbai and the others joined in the fun.
She and Yu Youyao sat at the same table. They were all sisters of the same family. Yu Youyao was respected by her siblings in the family, making it seem like she was unappreciated.
Although the rice wine was not strong, after drinking a few more sses, Yu Youyao’s fair face turned red.
Seeing that Yu Shanxin was holding his wine ss and looking a little restless, Old Madam Yu quickly said, “Although rice wine isn’t strong, you’ll still get drunk after drinking too much. Don’t go too far!”
Who in the residence didn’t know about Yao Yao’s alcohol tolerance?
One ss caused joy, two sses caused foolishness, and three sses of wine… That was exactly what she meant.
Yu Shanxin felt a little regretful. Although he was her brother, he had often benefited from Yu Youyao.
On the day of the reunion, the family had to recite poems to match the Mid-Autumn Festival scene.
Yu Youyao was not good at this, but when she saw the full moon in the sky, she thought of her cousin and recited, “The moon is round from a thousand miles away. The moonlight shines brightly on my heart. I want to hold the moon and give it to you from afar. Meeting you can only happen in my dream.”
She had borrowed lines from ancient poems and pieced together a poem, but it was also beautiful.
Yu Zongzheng smiled and praised, “Although this poem is smart, it’s also vivid and sincere.”
After the family banquet was over.
Yu Shuangbai was about to go and light the rivermps when Old Madam Yu waved her hand. “Bring a few more people with you. It’ste at night, so you have to be careful.
The second branch had also built ake, but it was not as big as the first branch’s lotuske.
The few young missesughed and went to the Jade Courtyard together.
When they arrived at theke, Yu Shuangbai took thenterns and ced them into the water one by one.
Yu Youyao held the lotusmp she had folded and closed her eyes, making a wish in her heart. “I hope Cousines back safely soon.”
After making her wish, she carefully ced thentern into theke and watched it drift down theke. She hoped that it wouldn’t sink until the candle burned out.
She had heard that this way, wishes woulde true.
Dozens ofnterns were ced into theke. The surface of theke was filled with candlelight thatplemented thenterns on the trees. It was very beautiful.
After putting out thenterns, the group returned to the second house.
Yu Shuangbai called Yu Shanyan and the others over to y drums and pass flowers.
The group ate and yed until nine o’clock.
The family banquet finally ended.
Yu Youyao followed the limestone path. Along the way, there were houses and trees everywhere. The dense light and shadow made the night look beautiful.
Yu Youyao pushed open the door and entered the study, but her gaze suddenly paused.
An exquisite octagonal tassel pcentern was ced on the desk.
The candlelight was yellow and dense.
This scene surprised Yu Youyao. She picked up her skirt and rushed to the desk. She picked up the pcentern and looked at it carefully.
There were pearl and jade tassels on the octagonalntern eaves, making it look elegant.
On the pcentern was a painting of a boat on the lotuske. Yu Youyao was already very familiar with her cousin’s painting. At a nce, she could tell that this was her cousin’s brush and ink.
“Yin San, is this a gift from Cousin for the Mid -Autumn Festival?” The dim yellow light of the pcemp shone on Yu Youyao’s beautiful face, bright and beautiful.
Yin San walked out from the dark. “Young Master made it himself.”
Yu Youyao was pleasantly surprised. “Cousin, you actually know how to makemps. However, it’s great to be able to receive antern personally made by you during the Mid -Autumn Festival!”
Yin San said nothing.
Yu Youyao carried thentern and returned to her room. She changed the smallmp beside her bed to the pcemp that her cousin had given her. In the future, she would sleep every night with themp that her cousin had personally made.
At this moment, in the distant camp in Shandong, there were also bonfires lit. The soldiers gathered to drink, eat, and y chess. It was also lively.
From afar, there was Chang Ningbo’s loud voice. “I wonder how our Master Yin’s brain works. I only mastered the craftsmanship after learning for a year and a half, but he did it in two hours. What’s even more heartbreaking is that themp he learned for two hours looks even better than the ones I’ve been making for most of my life. He’s simply not human…” Immediately, there were soldiers who cheered— “If Master Yin isn’t human, what is he?!”
“Why do I feel that you’re scolding Master Yin at the end?”
“Could it be that you have a grudge after being taught a lesson by Master Yin previously…”
Chang Ningbo pped him. “Sh*t, do I look like that kind of narrow-minded person? Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘Intelligence means being closer to the demon’? Our Master Yin isn’t an ordinary person. He’s a true demon…
Yin Huaixi had also racked his brains for that pcemp until it couldn’t get any better.
Even so, he still said that it wasn’t for his favorite girl.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. He finally understood that women weren’t the only ones who did not mean what they said.
If a man did not mean what he said, he was definitely not human.
The corners of Yin Huaixi’s mouth twitched slightly. It wasn’t difficult to make pcemps, but it was difficult because time was too tight.
As he had just started learning, he spent some time practicing. It wasn’t until he hadpletely mastered themp-making technique that he really started. Just the Lotus Plucking Painting on the paper on the pcemp took a lot of time.
The little girl should like it very much.
After themotion, the soldiers looked up and couldn’t help but think of their families. “I miss my mother…”
“I want to too…”
“Me too…”
The young soldiers, who were only in their teens and had just participated, looked at the jade te in the sky and thought about how it was the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Then, they recalled that in the past, no matter how poor their family was, they had to prepare mooncakes every time it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. At night, the family would gather and have a lively reunion meal.
The old soldiers patted the shoulders of the young soldiers beside them.. “Who doesn’t want to go home? When the war in Shandong is settled, when we return home, won’t it be Mid -Autumn Festival?”
