All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 250 - 250 Flower Festival (2)

250 Flower Festival (2)

Yu Youyao was very smug. She held her grandmother’s arm and smiled. “Grandmother isn’t old at all. In the future, I’ll make medicinal cuisine for you every day to nourish your body and you will live a long life.”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she immediately beamed with joy. There was no need to worry.

Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief and sighed in her heart. It was getting harder to coax old people these days. Sigh, it was really too difficult for her!

After chatting for a while, Yang Shuwan brought Yu Jianjia over to greet Old Madam.

The bright red Flowing Light Brocade was embroidered with large dark golden peony patterns. Her entire body was glowing. She was really dressed brightly and looked radiant.

This outfit was suitable. Although it was a little beautiful, it did not look frivolous.

However, this was too ostentatious. She had completely forgotten about the elegance of the scholarly family.

Old Madam Yu did not like it very much, so she looked at Yu Jianjia.

She was wearing a light red embroidered lotus outer shirt and a moonlight dress. There were red, yellow, and green ribbons that made it look like a pleated dress. It was light and deep, and the hazy halo was as lively as the moon. She was also wearing a small crown with beads on her head. She used red, yellow, and green pearls that were inlaid. Each pearl was plump and smooth, and they were also very expensive.

From head to toe, she looked precious and meticulous.

Old Madam Yu nodded secretly. She still had some sense of propriety, unlike in the past, when she wanted to be beautiful and dressed to show “filial piety”. She was easier to look at..

After greeting her, Yang Shuwan looked at Yu Youyao. “I originally thought that it would be Yao Yao’s first time outside, so I sent Nanny Li to the Jade Courtyard to check on the situation so that she could help manage it. Who knew that Nanny Xu would be so capable? As her mother, I didn’t have to help out.”

She was afraid that others would say that she only cared about her biological daughter and did not care about her stepdaughter.

In some ways, Yang Shuwan’s reputation and skills were really impressive. Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled. “Third Sister’s body is a little weak, so she has to be especially cautious when she goes out. You can’t be careless at all. Mother naturally has to take care of Third Sister first, but I don’t dare to distract her.”

“Yao Yao, you’re really sensible. You’re always taking care of your younger sister.” Yang Shuwan’s smile faded a little.

When she first saw Yu Youyao, although she felt that she looked very beautiful, she was still inferior to Jia Jia’s elegant moonlight brocade dress.

However, when she took a closer look, she could tell that it was extraordinary.

The silk might not be more expensive than the Moonlight Brocade, but the shark silk on the outside was as thin as a cicada’s wings. There were even hazy patterns on it. At first glance, it was nothing special.

Yu Youyao’s figure swayed, and the shark silk became vivid. The patterns on it actually changed endlessly.

For every blink, there was a new pattern. There were ten patterns for ten different pairs of eyes. If a hundred people had a hundred eyes, there were a hundred patterns.

With such a layer of shark silk on her body, Yu Youyao looked extraordinary.

Jia Jia’s Moonlight Brocade looked ordinary.

How could she be happy?

“Nanny Xu from Eldest Sister’s courtyard is a difficult person to deal with. She took good care of Eldest Sister.” Yu Jianjia pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, blocking the emotions in her eyes. However, her grip on the handkerchief inevitably tightened. “Eldest Sister, you look really good today.”

Yu Youyao was not inferior at all. She was just right.

However, if one took a closer look, they would be able to sense the refinement and upbringing emitted from inside and out. Coupled with the gentle demeanor of her words and actions, she really had the aura of a noble lady that could not be ignored.

Yu Youyao nodded. “The Moonlight Brocade is beautiful and elegant. It suits you very well.”

This was also true.

After the sisters flattered each other, Madam Yao brought Yu Shuangbai over.

Madam Yao was beautiful and solemn. She was dressed in red with silver peony embroidery. The silver color was bright, making the red look even more vivid and beautiful. She was dignified and luxurious. She was really not inferior to Yang Shuwan’s deliberately ostentatious outfit.

From their clothes, the sisters-in-law had already revealed their family background and temperament.

As soon as Madam Yao arrived, she held Yu Youyao’s hand and sized her up. “This is the first time Yao Yao has been outside. I came over early to support you. Now that I’ve seen you, it’s time for Nanny Xu to help Shuangbai. After all, she’s seen the world more than me.”

With that, she really covered her face with her handkerchief and glanced at Yu Shuangbai.

Yu Shuangbai’s white and silver dress was engraved with a pink rose pattern. On top was a thin rose waist-length shirt, and on the bottom was a yellow dress that reached her waist. It was pieced together and looked very delicate. The silver color was eye-catching, and the roses were wild. It looked both generous and beautiful. There was a small rose crown of pure gold on her head, and pink pearls fell from her lower head. She looked extremely delicate.

Old Madam Yu’s eyes lit up. “Second Sister has also become a big girl. Look at her delicate appearance. She’s really beautiful.”

This time, Yu Jianjia finally noticed the difference and couldn’t help but cough lightly.

Yu Youyao and Yu Shuangbai were both wearing pure colors. One was wearing green which made her look pure and beautiful, while the other was wearing silver which made her look beautiful and generous.

As a result, even though her Moonlight Brocade was unique and beautiful, it was not as pure as theirs.

Upon closer inspection, she also realized that the style of clothes were a little too big. She did not look like a growing child. Instead, she looked like a twelve-year-old girl who had already grown up.

“Second Sister’s crown is really unique. The gold and silver kerbs on it are as small as real petals, making Second Sister look radiant.” Yu Jianjia felt bitter.

With that, she couldn’t help but glance at her bright red and flamboyant mother. She finally understood why her grandmother had always looked down on her mother.

Madam Yao was from the first wife, so her upbringing, knowledge, and bearing were more meticulous.

Her mother had read poetry and books, and she was still a little talented. Her manners and upbringing were not bad, but compared to the knowledge of a legitimate daughter, there was still a gap.

She immediately felt like turning around and returning to the courtyard to change into pure-colored clothes.

However, she knew that this was just a thought.

It was getting late, and it was easier said than done.

The jewelry, makeup, and everything she was wearing had to be changed again. She had already spent two hours in the morning. If she changed again, she might not look better.

Yang Shuwan did not notice this. She only felt that although Madam Yao’s outfit today was luxurious, it was not as bright as hers. She could not hide her smug expression.

Seeing that Madam Yao was making fun of Old Madam Yu, she couldn’t interrupt for a moment. She could only tighten her grip on her handkerchief and smile stiffly.

Yu Shuangbai leaned towards Yu Youyao and asked softly, “Why do I feel that you don’t seem afraid at all?”

Yu Youyao thought for a moment. “I’m just a little nervous.”

Previously, she had been a little afraid, but her cousin had already told her not to take it too seriously and not to let herself suffer at the flower festival. There was no need for her to be afraid.
