Old Madam Song did not understand, so she took the pouch and pulled open the rope. She took out a wooden slip and looked down. Her eyes widened. “This
is…”
No wonder Old Yu had gone to the Precious Peace Temple twice in a row this month.
Old Madam Yu had thought of an excuse. “Our Yao Yao has gained Master Hui Ji’s discerning eye. She went to Master Hui Ji’s meditation room a few times to listen to meditation, and Master Hui Ji approved Yao Yao’s fate. He said that Yao Yao’s fate is good, but she has a huge calamity…”
This time, Old Madam Song did not know what to say. “I heard that Master Hui Ji was enlightened by Grandmaster Hui Neng a few years ago. No wonder you look like your bones have been pulled out.”
Everyone knew that Grandmaster Hui Neng was proficient in fate reading.
Old Madam Yu i s eyes welled up with tears, and even her voice became hoarse. “Yao Yao is my lifeblood. Ever since I received this reading, I’ve never felt at ease. I keep feeling that my precious granddaughter is going to suffer.”
Old Madam Song comforted her. “Yao Yao is a blessed child. She’s just turned
It’s fine if she takes a year or two before she gets engaged. You can’t scare yourself. If you really get sick from fright, Yao Yao will be worried.”
For some reason, Old Madam Yu couldn’t help but tear up.
After much persuasion, Old Madam Song also cried for the time it took to burn an incense stick. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and only then did her tears gradually stop.
After persuading Old Madam Yu, Old Madam Song did not stay long and returned to the residence.
At this moment, Song Mingzhao was already waiting in the Glorious Fortune Hall.
Old Madam Song knew that he was anxious. She only sighed softly and told him about Master Hui Ji’s orders. “Your Grandmother Yu was shocked by this.
Yao Yao’s marriage will definitely take a year or two to be settled.”
Song Mingzhao’s breathing tightened and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Many of the scenes in the dream were blurry, but he vaguely remembered that the first time he dreamed of the girl, she seemed to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
Coupled with Master Hui Ji’s orders, he felt that it was an absurd coincidence.
Was he the one involved in Eldest Miss Yu’s calamity?
This was impossible!
Old Madam Song still thought that he was a little disappointed, so she advised,
“Don’t be anxious. Gather your energy and deal with the next examination well. I’ll help you ask next year.”
The marriage had been delayed for a year or two. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to wait. At least, if it wasn’t him, it wouldn’t be anyone else. Song Mingzhao lowered his eyes. “Thank you, Grandmother.”
Unknowingly, it was April 18th, Yu Youyao’s birthday.
Early in the morning, Qing Xiu came to the Jade Courtyard and invited Yu Youyao to An Shou Hall.
Old Madam Yu said auspicious words as she took off her longevity lock. She also took out a new longevity lock with red gold and jade embroidery and put it on her granddaughter again.
The surface of the lock was carved with peony flowers. There were leaves and stems, and each flower was exquisitely carved. In the middle, there was a red and lustrous lotus pattern embedded. On the edge of the carving, there were the words “Longevity and Wealth” carved. Seven beads could be seen on it. They were gold, silver, glass, coral, clams, red beads, agate. The seven treasures of Buddhism.
Old Madam Yu looked at her granddaughter, who was standing on the branch like a flower. Her heart ached and she felt proud. “Our Yao Yao is already a 13 -year-old girl.”
Yu Youyao smiled until her eyes curved. She held her grandmothers arm and wheedled, “Grandmother, what gift did you prepare for me? Quick, take it out for me to see.”
Old Madam Yu pinched the tip of her nose lightly. “You’re asking for gifts every year. It’s as if people will forget. I’m afraid of you.”
With that, she called out to Nanny Liu.
Nanny Liu returned to the inner room and brought over the gift she had prepared long ago. “Matriarch has been preparing since March. She’s put in a lot of effort.”
Old Madam Yu glared at her. These words sounded intentional. It was as if she spent a lot of effort deliberately emphasizing it.
Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled. She couldn’t wait to take the gift.
As soon as the ebony box was opened, there seemed to be a golden light bursting out of it. Even her eyes flickered.
Yu Youyao blinked and took a closer look. It was a large pure gold flower.
With the golden piece as the base, the thin golden piece was a cluster of six-petal flowers in the shape of a half-moon. Dozens of small flowers surrounded it, and the center of the flower was decorated with pearls and jade.
Every flower stem was curved into a spiral and swayed gently. The flowers trembled slightly. On the flowers, a silver thread raised a butterfly high.
Yu Youyao could imagine the beautiful scene of the flowers and butterflies dancing when she put it on her head.
Although the craftsmanship of the pure gold flower was more mature, such exquisite and complicated craftsmanship was still very rare.
In particular, the treasures on it were even more pure in color and texture.
Every one of them was expensive.
Yu Youyao was pleasantly surprised. “Wow, this flower is too beautiful!”
Old Madam Yu smiled. “It was two years ago when I saw Sixth Miss give you a silk flower that was made into a hairpin. I saw that it was exquisite and beautiful, so I found a craftsman to make a pure gold one. When you go back later, comb your hair into a Feixian bun and put the gold flowers in front of you. You’ll be a little fairy.”
Such flowers did not exist on the market. The craftsmanship was more complicated, and those with poor skills could not make them. She had also searched hard for a craftsman to make them.
It wasn’t that she was boasting, but Yao Yao’s beauty was worthy of being the number one beauty in the world.
The Feixian buns were simple, and only required simple combing methods. There were also complicated combing methods. The same buns could be combed into a hundred different styles. With new jewelry, they would have a different style.
She liked to see her granddaughter. Her hair was combed into a Feixian bun, and she looked refreshed and delicate, like a little fairy.
Yu Youyao hugged her grandmother and called her softly, “Thank you,
Grandmother. I like you too much!”
Her voice was like the cry of an oriole, but it made Old Madam Yu’s heart turn into a pool of water. She hugged her granddaughter and retracted her hand.
The grandmother and granddaughter chatted for an hour before Yu Youyao left reluctantly with the gift from her grandmother.
After returning to the Jade Courtyard, Nanny Xu picked out a silver-red dress with narrow sleeves. “The silver-red dress is specially named the Cloud Shadow Silk. It’s like smoke and fog, like mist. It’s Miss’s birthday today, so it’s not an exaggeration to dress up.”
Yu Youyao’s life was exquisite, but she was not an extravagant person. Usually, she would wear whatever she felt comfortable at home. She rarely wore bright and grand clothes.
Indeed!
The clothes made of the gauze were thin and impenetrable, like the wings of a cicada. When they put on Yu Youyao’s body, they complemented each other, making her look radiant and beautiful.
The little girl’s chest was raised. Her tube dress revealed that she was a girl..
