Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past, Old Madam was sickly. Every few steps she took made people tremble in fear. They were worried that she would die before she could even catch her breath.

It was also because after Nanny Xu entered the residence that Yu Youyao had grown up. Not only did she have medicinal fragrance every day, but she also had the medicinal cuisine that Mother Zhao had specially prepared for her.

She had already recovered.

Good medicinal cuisine at the banque was no greater dignity.

Yu Youyao smiled and agreed.

The group discussed for nearly two hours before they settled the banquet. “There are 18 dishes on the table, three soups, and two health-nourishing medicinal cuisine for the season. The meat and vegetables…”

Old Madam Yu listened.

Madam Yao was an elder, so naturally, the banquet had to be held conservatively.

Yu Youyao was younger and more meticulous. The two of them were smart people and discussed with each other. Not only did they look generous and proper, but they were also very meticulous.

If she had to do it herself, she probably wouldn’t be able to do this.

Seeing that Yu Youyao was smart, Madam Yao smiled and said, “I have something else for you to do here. Don’t think it’s too hard.”

Yu Youyao smiled. “Second Aunt, just instruct me.”

Banquets were a common thing for the first and second branches. If she could do more, she would do more.

Madam Yao did not stand on ceremony. “I’ll leave the tea, snacks, fruits, snacks, and so on to you. Bring Shuangbai along. She’s greedy and can always come up with tricks in this aspect. I think she can help.”

Yu Shuangbai, who couldn’t interrupt, pouted.

She kept feeling that she had been misconstrued by her biological mother.

Yu Youyao agreed happily. “Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister will also come over to help. When the time comes, we’ll get Nanny Xu to help. There shouldn’t be a problem. Second Aunt, don’t worry.”

Madam Yao was originally worried about leaving such a big matter to Yu Youyao. She only felt that she was smart and should be able to take responsibility. When the time came, she could keep an eye on her.

Now that Yu Youyao had mentioned Nanny Xu, she was really relieved. “That’s good. With Nanny Xu’s help, it will definitely be appropriate.”

Nanny Xu’s abilities were obvious to all. Not to mention the changes in Yu

Youyao, even Old Madam’s health had improved because of the abilities Nanny Xu had taught Yu Youyao.

It would definitely be better if Nanny Xu could help with the banquet in the residence. However, Nanny Xu was not a servant of the residence. Even Old Madam could not easily order her around, so she naturally would not provoke her.

Yu Youyao had spoken because she was confident that Nanny Xu would agree. Naturally, she was happy to see it happen.

As for Lianyu and Fangfei, Yu Youyao did not mind that they were young and were happy to bring them along, so she naturally had no objections.

Now that everything had been arranged, she would have to spend a lot of effort to manage it.

Madam Yao called Yu Shuangbai over again. “Nanny Liu wants to arrange the personnel in the residence. Learn from her. If your eldest sister wants to arrange for tea and snacks, you have to help too. Don’t be too playful.”

During this period of time, Yu Shuangbai had improved a lot, and her studies had improved by leaps and bounds. She also had good manners. If she followed Nanny Liu, she could also learn how to manage the household.

Yu Shuangbai puffed up her cheeks and agreed.

Considering that there were not many people in the family, Madam Yao transferred some people over from the manor. Old Madam Yu was also personally in charge, and Madam Yao and Yu Youyao also helped out.

The house was in chaos, and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

On the tenth of September, the Yu Residence swept the courtyard early in the morning. The door was wide open, preparing to welcome the guests.

On the male guests’ side, Yu Zongzheng led Yu Shande and the others, who were on the Golden Ranking List this time, to welcome guests at the Flowerfall Gate. Yu Zongshen was greeting them in the house with his eldest son, Yu Shanyan.

On the female guests’ side, Madam Yao brought Yu Shuangbai out to welcome the guests. Yu Youyao and the Seventh Aunt of the clan greeted guests in the courtyard.

The Zhenguo Marquis Residence was the first to visit.

The Madam of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence and Third Madam Yu, Yu Miaofu, led the people of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence over. Song Wanhui and the other sisters in the family also followed.

Yu Youyao immediately went over to welcome them. After greeting the elders, she asked, “Grandmother Song, why are you here too? How can we trouble you with such a small matter in our family?”

Old Madam Song said bluntly, “You don’t have many family members. IVs inevitable that Second Madam Yu will be busy. With so many people around, there will be more trouble. I came to help out. Anyway, when I reach your house, I’ll be served well. It won’t tire me out.”

Old Madam Song and her grandmother were famous in the capital. They were both respected elders. With them in charge of the residence, the banquet today would probably go more smoothly.

Yu Youyao quickly brought her to the guest courtyard.

When the two of them met, they naturally had a lot to say.

Yu Youyao continued to entertain the guests.

At this moment, the people from the Qi Residence arrived.

Old Madam Qi had also come over. The two families had always been close, so she probably had the same thoughts as Old Madam Song and came over to help suppress the situation.

When Old Madam Qi saw Yu Youyao, she was so curious. She was clearly a

guest at someone else’s house, but she immediately took off the sea-green bracelet on her wrist and put it on her wrist without any explanation—

‘Good child, you’re becoming more and more like your mother, and your personality is as straightforward as hers. It’s really good. The medicinal tea and medicinal fragrance you sent previously are all top-notch things. I like them very much.”

Although the relationship between aristocratic families was a mix of closeness and distance, anyone who could get along was basically like having a gourd on a vine. Usually, when they gave gifts to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, other families couldn’t avoid it.

Yu Youyao quickly said, “I originally wanted to make it to nourish

Grandmother’s body. I saw that it was working well, so I sent some over. As long as Grandmother Qi likes it.”

Old Madam Qi knew that she was busy, so she did not hold her back and say too much.

When they arrived at the guest courtyard, Old Madam Yu’s smile deepened when she saw her. “Old lady, why are you here too?”

Old Madam Qi smiled at Old Madam Yu. “1 haven’t received an invitation from your family for the past three to five years. It’s really rare. How can I not come over to take a look?”

Old Madam Yu had also guessed why she was here. “Let me tell you, our family only has one daughter-in-law. Even our growing granddaughter has to help welcome guests. We don’t have time to entertain you.”

As soon as she heard this, she knew that they were on very good terms.

Old Madam Qi rolled her eyes at her. “I’m not like the two of you who can manage things yourselves.”

Old Madam Qi was the oldest, but her health was also the best.

Yu Youyao then instructed the young maidservant who was serving tea. “Sixth Madam Qi likes cleanliness in her teacups, bowls, plates, and so on. She needs all kinds of utensils. You have to replace them with new ones in front of her.

Old Madam Qi likes the Red Tieguanyin, and she doesn’t like the Green Tieguanyin, so don’t get it wrong. You have to choose one with a strong fragrance.. First Madam Qi…”
