Chapter 17 The Yu Family

Yu Moqing and his second sister were led into Mrs. Yu's bedroom by Suixiang. Mrs. Yu was in great pleasure to chat with her elder sister. Their eyes were smiling and their crescent moons were bent, and the corners of their mouths were also grinning.

The second sister said in a voice: "Oh, what are you talking to your sister? Are you so happy?"

Mrs. Yu reached out to greet her and sat down soon, and replied: "Your elder sister has vomited so badly in recent days, I'm afraid she's so happy."

After hearing this, the second sister immediately congratulated: "Take it seriously? Then we can celebrate it well! This is the youngest among our family! Haha..."

Yu Moqing was not moved by the child, but said, "That's what I have to congratulate my elder sister."

The eldest sister smiled and replied, "I don't know if it's right, but the doctor will only find out after seeing it."

Mrs. Yu continued: "Actually, there is another happy event. Your brother-in-law received the decree of the emperor today and was promoted to the position of governor. Fortunately, the master has been trained for so many years and finally achieved his ability."

Yu Moqing thought to himself that a governor is equivalent to a modern governor. After all, his brother-in-law is a guest of Mr. Yu, and it is reasonable to get into the position of governor. Although he only met a few times, it can be seen that this brother-in-law is not a problem in dealing with people, let alone his knowledge can make Mr. Yu so favored him.

The second sister said, "Mom, didn't you say you would discuss how many days to go to the ancestral hall?"

Mrs. Yu recalled that there was something else and replied: "Yes, I almost forgot such an important thing... In a few days, it's Zhongyuan Festival, and I can't go out at night. The matter of worshiping ancestors has never been careless, so I discussed with the master how to arrange it. It was not much different from previous years. It was still Awu who prepared two carriages, waiting outside the mansion on the 14th day, and then sent us to the ancestral hall outside the city. Stayed in the ancestral hall for one night, and it happened to be the second day after worshiping our ancestors. We came back and we could still go out for a walk and put on lanterns and other things... Oh, let your clothes be prepared together, so that a few maids can go to cause trouble together."

Yu Moqing didn't have a deep impression of the Zhongyuan Festival, so he didn't pay much attention to festivals in the past. However, now he is a little confused. In ancient times, the ancestral halls were always set up in the mansion. Why did the ancestral halls in Yu's mansion be outside the city? Thinking of this, he blurted out: "Why is the ancestral hall still outside the city?"

When Mrs. Yu heard Yu Moqing ask this, her face turned a little helpless. She shook her head and sighed, "Oh, if the master had not escaped hard and was eager to protect me, she would have not reached her current status. But the master just valued filial piety and would not be careless in worshiping ancestors every year. When she goes back, those ungrateful wolves will inevitably make things difficult for them."

The eldest sister replied: "Qingqing, you have lost your memory, so naturally I don't remember the situation when we go to the ancestral hall every year. Those uncles seemed to be swallowing our family, either making things difficult for you or not speaking cleanly. Fortunately, my father is of high power, and even the township chief has to come out to protect him when he goes to the ancestral hall, but our ears cannot be quiet."

Yu Moqing carefully recalled the remaining memories of the original owner. Indeed, Mr. Yu's family is not without relatives, but it is just that he owe a lot of money to this relationship.

The Yu family has thirty-one people, including Master Yu’s five brothers, and Master Yu’s youngest.

The Yu family was just a country family. They lived a comfortable life with a mountain and a lake, plus several acres of fertile land. Later, when the fields grew, they rented them out and continued to make profits. However, the family business gradually grew, and the tribe members understood the division of interests. The brothers felt that they had the greatest contributions and deserved the most.

As a result, the rift between brothers became increasingly deeper, and the harmony between the several families was broken. As a result, Grandpa Yu was so angry that he left the house. The old lady spoke out to leave all the property to Xiaowu, whom he loved the most and was filial.

But unexpectedly, the other four brothers gathered together to sue Yu Gu, who was in his early twenties, for the charges of stealing and affair, and the victim almost made Mrs. Yu miscarriage at that time. In fact, it was just a false charge, which really made him determined to leave the clan and accompany Mrs. Yu to the court. After all, Mrs. Yu was the niece of the empress dowager, so he simply protected Mr. Yu, who was quite smart, to achieve his career. Now all brothers know that the five old Yu and the prime minister are unwilling to bow down and still do not forget to make a joke.

Later, the old lady moved the ancestral hall to the suburbs closest to the capital, saying that it would be convenient for Mr. Yu to come back to worship his ancestors. Mr. Yu paid for another refurbishment, which stabilized the gap between the brothers.

When Yu Moqing thought of this, he sighed in his heart, "It's really hard to cook beans and burn bean pods."

The second sister also complained: "That's right, those uncles don't take us seriously. Every year when they go back, they say unpleasant words to make their ears dirty. Humph! If my father hadn't been relieved, these people wouldn't have any good results... And that big cousin, who knows how to bully us every time, just say something ugly to tease people, is really annoying to me!"

Although Yu Moqing didn't know the specific appearance of these people, she knew how annoying they were from the words of her sister and Mrs. Yu. However, she never cared about people who had nothing to do with her. If someone really messed with her then, she wouldn't care about any family favors.

Mrs. Yu probably recovered from her memories and said, "You don't have to worry. The old lady is the most beloved master. She is so happy every time she goes back. The old lady is nine out of seventy this year, and it's a bit inconvenient to move. You will have to spend more time with her at that time."

The eldest sister nodded and agreed: "This is natural. Although my grandma is old, she always cares about us. She also asks someone to send some fruits and vegetables every year."

Mrs. Yu started talking about the recent gossip of the market, and she was too lazy to recall unpleasant things.

The two sisters also put aside the matter of Chen Zhimao and continued to chat with their mother.

Yu Moqing was a little tired and ate the snacks on the table casually and occasionally said a few words. However, she had a premonition that something might happen to this ancestor worship.
