All Hail Cousin Brother

She has changed so much in just two months. Mother Xu's upbringing is one aspect, why isn't that the reason?

It was just a dream. She had made up her mind in her life to stay away from Song Mingzhao, so she didn't want to have a close relationship with the Marquis of Zhenguo.

But the relationship between Yufu and Zhenguohoufu is very big, involving a lot, and the relationship is very heavy. The in-law relationship between the two families is also a situation of shared interests. It involves the dispute between the court and the faction, which is far from her. A little girl can handle it.

Therefore, she was unavoidable in Zhenguohou Mansion.

In addition, the personal friendship between grandmother and grandmother Song is unavoidable.

Someone suddenly knocked on the forehead, Yu Youyao was in pain, so she covered her forehead and looked up, not knowing when her cousin came over.

Cousin's eyes were heavy, and there was a kind of oppression that made the heart tremble. Yu Youyao panicked for a while, blinked his eyes, and called softly: "Cousin!"

The voice was soft, making Zhou Linghuai's heart tremble: "Why is a person in a daze?"

After school, Zhou Linghuai came to Yuyuyuan as usual, but it was not the voice of the little girl who cheerfully called him "cousin" to greet him.

He pushed the wheelchair into the study quietly, and saw the little girl sitting by the window, her bright eyes were like ashes covered with ashes, empty, she was a heart-wrenching despair, and even her young face was pale. The panic and helplessness that does not match the age is revealed.

He almost thought he had read it wrong.

In his eyes, Yu Youyao is a carefree little girl.

Her eyes will glow, like the bright stars in the sky, even in the endless dark night, they can also embellish the night and brighten the starry sky.

Her smile is clean and bright, like sunshine, warm and melting, which can melt away the cold and hard ice of winter.

There is a vigorous and vigorous vitality in her body, and even dead ashes can be rekindled.

But he, in such a little girl, saw that kind of despair as if falling into the mud and shattering bones.

Zhou Linghuai's breathing was stagnant, and she lightly rubbed the top of the little girl's hair: "What were you thinking about just now?"

"No, nothing," Yu Youyao pursed her lips lightly, lowered her head, and lightly twisted the long and narrow leaves of Molan with her fingertips. She was silent for a moment, then raised her head to look at her cousin and smiled: "Cousin, I just learned "Four Systems of Mourning Clothes" and "Spring and Autumn" by myself, and there are many things I don't understand."

Nightmares and reality are different.

At least, there is no cousin in the nightmare.

With her cousin here, she will definitely not be as miserable as in her dream.

Moreover, she is only ten years old now, and it is too early to talk about marriage.

Old Madam Zhenguohou has always been very close to her, perhaps because the medicine pear ointment she had previously given relieved her cough, so she gave her a precious gift.

Why worry about it? !

Last time at Baoning Temple, when Song Mingzhao came to greet her grandmother and Song grandmother, she deliberately observed Yu Jianjia.

Although Yu Jianjia was careful to cover it up, he was attracted by Song Mingzhao like a nightmare. In this way, many things could be planned.

In the nightmare, it was her grandmother who arranged a marriage for her, and she passively accepted it.

In this world, she doesn't want to be involved with Song Mingzhao, and naturally she won't accept it passively. If things haven't developed to that point, she doesn't need to be too entangled.

No matter what, her cousin will definitely help her.

After thinking about this, Yu Youyao smiled and bent her lips: "Cousin, I have written down everything I don't understand, I'm just waiting for you to come and ask you for advice."

The little girl's voice was cheerful and sweet, and she happily went to the desk and took a stack of paper.

As if the previous helplessness and despair were just his illusions, Zhou Linghuai's hands resting on the armrests could not help clenching tightly.

But the little girl didn't want to say it, and he naturally wouldn't ask.

Taking the record to his cousin, Yu Youyao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to his cousin diligently: "Cousin, drink tea to moisten your throat first."

Zhou Linghuai's face softened, took the tea that the little girl held in both hands, took a sip, put the teacup on the table, and explained to her the mistakes and omissions while reading Yu Youyao's transcript.

One was talking, the other was listening, and before you knew it, it was time for lunch.

"Cousin, let's go to dinner." The little girl's voice was cheerful, she walked behind her cousin and pushed the wheelchair carefully.

Zhou Linghuai turned the wheelchair with both hands and cooperated with her to exert force. His eyes fell. The bluestone floor had been covered with a thick layer of dark-blue jacquard rugs, and the sills at the door had also been replaced. Like the Qingyuan Courtyard with a **** and a low threshold, the Eight Immortals table has been replaced with a round table, and some fragile ornaments have also been replaced again and again.

And in the yard, the trees and flowers that were in the way were shoveled out one by one, and the narrow winding paths were changed to bluestone brick surfaces with anti-skid patterns engraved...

Unconsciously, the small courtyard belonging to the little girl was filled with traces of him everywhere.

Zhou Linghuai's throat was slightly astringent.

Entering the side hall, Madam Xu had already prepared a meal. The five dishes and one soup were all the favorites of Zhou Linghuai and Yu Youyao.

Before he knew it, even his tastes could be grasped very accurately.

Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but turned to look at the little girl.

The little girl's sleeping phoenix eyes are always full of joy, and the eyes are bright, like stars embellishing the night, brightening the starry sky, and her smile is innocent and bright.

On the day she entered the residence, the little girl recited the passage of the "Pharmacist Sutra": "The body is like a glass of glass, clear inside and out, pure and flawless."

Zhou Linghuai suddenly thought of the little girl she saw before, her eyes were empty, her eyes were full of despair, and her bright little face was full of bleak ashes.

The smile faded little by little, and Zhou Linghuai closed his eyes suddenly.

"Cousin?" A little girl's soft voice came from her ear.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly opened his eyes and saw the little girl squatting in front of him, looking at him worriedly, and asked him, "Cousin, your face suddenly turned ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Linghuai's eyes were dark, like a deep abyss, and he looked at the little girl steadily—

Wish in my heart-

I wish, with a body of flesh and blood to shield her from the wind and rain, to protect her dress from dust, to protect her temples from frost, to protect her for a lifetime, and to give her a lifetime of prosperity.

Protect her, her body is like glass, clear inside and out, pure and flawless.

Seeing that her cousin kept silent and stared at her for a moment, Yu Youyao's heart jumped. Before in Baoning Temple, she accidentally broke her cousin's track. Look at her.

Feeling a little uneasy, Yu Youyao whispered, "Biao, cousin, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Linghuai's tightly pursed lips loosened, and the color faded: "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something else."

Seeing that cousin has returned to his previous appearance, Yu Youyao smiled and curved his lips: "Cousin looked so scary just now, don't scare me like this again in the future."
