Yu Zhizhou just felt happy in his heart. They were obviously brothers. In the past, the third branch was domineering and arrogant over the first and second branches, and they were lazy and gluttonous. Now it was finally their turn to live by pleasing others.
As the old saying goes, things change over time.
Seeing the carriage entering the city, Yu Zhizhou lifted the curtain and gave directions to the coachman.
Yu Zhizhou was originally reluctant to come here. His fifth brother had not yet established himself in the capital, but Old Man Yu was impatient to bring the whole family here to live with him. The expenses in the capital were far more expensive than in the countryside, but Old Man Yu was making a big fuss at home and insisted on going to the capital.
Fortunately, his parents were easy-going and knew that it was not easy to live in the capital, so they were unwilling to follow him.
It was originally agreed that only the second uncle and second aunt would come, but who knew that the old lady would whisper in the old man's ears and persuade him to bring Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan over. It was obvious that she wanted to take advantage of the fifth brother's favor. After Yu Zhizhou found out, he quickly wrote a letter to Yu Qizhe to inform him in advance so that he could be prepared.
The carriage turned into Yong'an Lane. Looking at the bustling market and the pedestrians in gorgeous clothes on the street, Yu Jinshu's face was full of longing. He made up his mind that after this trip, he would never go back to Qingyu Village, a remote and poor place.
After the carriage turned into Yong'an Hutong, Yu Ruhai looked at the imposing courtyard in the alley with a gleam in his old eyes. He couldn't wait to get off the carriage after it stopped. He looked at the plaque of Yu Mansion hanging on the door and couldn't help stroking his beard and nodded with satisfaction. Their Yu family is now considered a wealthy family.
Yu Ruhai smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves before going forward and knocking on the door.
Song Nian stuck his head out and asked, "Who is it?" Seeing so many people standing outside the door, with their luggage, Song Nian had some guesses in his mind. When he saw Yu Zhizhou, Song Nian had already cleverly guessed who these people were, and hurriedly asked, "The Third Young Master is here?"
Yu Zhizhou nodded and said with a smile: "Is my fifth brother at home? These are his parents."
Song Nian looked at Yu Mengshan and his wife, his attitude respectful yet warm, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the master and his wife are here. The young master is busy with official business in the Dali Temple and it is already You time in the afternoon. Please come in, two elders." He opened the door and invited them to come in first.
Yu Ruhai suddenly felt ignored, he cleared his throat with dignity and said, "I am Yu Qizhe's grandfather."
Song Nian looked at Yu Ruhai and said with a smile, "So you are the old master. My name is Song Nian and I am your servant."
Yu Ruhai felt relieved after hearing this. The group entered the yard and looked around.
Although Yu Qizhe's courtyard is not big, it is very elegantly maintained, with lush flowers, trees and rocks dotted around. The courtyard is quiet, elegant and beautiful.
Otherwise, Yu Jiao wouldn't have fallen in love with this house at first sight.
Yu Ruhai had lived in the village all his life and had never seen such an exquisite courtyard. When he thought about living in this courtyard in the future, Yu Ruhai could not control the joy on his face.
Yu Jinshu nudged Yu Jinyan with his elbow and whispered, "Fifth Brother is really different now. Where did he get the money to buy such a nice courtyard in the capital?"
Yu Jinyan was gloomy, a far cry from his former high-spirited self. He said with a stern face, "What's the point of having a yard like this when you marry the daughter of the Ci Fu family?"
Yu Zhizhou listened from the side and sneered. These two brothers had obviously come to the capital to seek refuge with Fifth Brother, yet they were plotting against Fifth Brother behind his back. They were truly a pair of heartless ungrateful people.
"What a sour smell! Some people have such jealousy in their eyes that it's almost bursting out."
Yu Jinyan bit her lip, glanced at Yu Zhizhou coldly, said nothing, and quickly followed Old Man Yu into the main hall.
Song Nian asked a few people to sit down, went to the small kitchen, and informed Mrs. Song, "Mom, the young master's family is here."
Mrs. Song and the others had received Yu Qizhe's instructions earlier, and nodded, "I'll send some tea and cakes over."
Yu Ruhai and his group sat in the main hall, looking around at the furnishings in the room. Yu Jinshu never sat down. He either touched the porcelain in the room or the famous paintings on the wall.
Song Nian and Mrs. Song came in with tea and saw Yu Jinshu flipping a pine and stone scroll. They couldn't help but frown slightly, but he didn't show it. He put the tea and snacks on the table, looked at Yu Mengshan and his wife, and said with a smile: "My young master will be back in a while. If the master and his wife are hungry, wait a moment. My mother is already preparing food."
Yu Mengshan and Song felt a little uncomfortable being called master and lady. They had been farmers working in the fields all their lives and had never thought that one day they would be served by others.
Song blushed and said, "No need to trouble..."
Before she could finish her words, Yu Ruhai interrupted her, "What's the trouble? They are the servants of the fifth brother." Yu Ruhai glanced at Song, feeling rather disgusted that she was not presentable enough. Her son was already a fourth-rank official, yet she still looked so nervous and restrained. He cleared his throat and said in a pretentious tone, "Song Nian, right? Go and prepare some more delicious food. Even though your master is not here, you servants must not be lazy!"
Song Nian smiled and replied, "Don't worry, old master. The young master knew you were coming and had already instructed the kitchen to buy fish and meat early in the morning."
Yu Ruhai was satisfied then, and calmly picked up the tea bowl and started drinking tea.
Yu Zhizhou stood up and said, "Grandfather, I have some goods to deliver, so I have to go out."
Yu Ruhai nodded and motioned for him to get busy.
As soon as Yu Zhizhou left, Yu Jinshu dragged Yu Jinyan out of the main hall and wandered around the yard. Seeing that the door was not locked, he wanted to push it open and take a look.
