All Hail Cousin Brother

Back at the Yuyu Courtyard, Madam Xu ordered tea, snacks, fruits, etc. to be placed. It looked more delicate than the ones in the Anshou Hall. There was a full table on the table, so it could be seen that it was prepared early in the morning. .

Yu Youyao took the tea by himself and gave it to Xie Jingliu. He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Third cousin, this is the medicinal tea I made by myself. How about you try it?"

Xie Jingliu put away the folding fan and took the tea brought by his little cousin with a smile. As soon as he smelled the tea, the smell of the tea was refreshing, and the fragrance of the lotus was refreshing. After taking a sip, he felt refreshed, as if traveling all the way. Lawton has also eased a lot.

He smiled and said, "Cousin is very capable."

Yu Youyao's voice was soft: "I have made a lot of this tea, my grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle, eldest aunt, second uncle, second aunt, eldest cousin, second cousin..." The little girl said in a soft voice. , while nodding on his tender little finger: "Everyone has it, not only this, but I also made a lot of medicinal incense... Grandfather and grandmother are getting older, even if they are in good health, they should take more care. Body, the business in the house is big, aunts and uncles will have to work hard, and they should take more care of themselves, cousins ​​and the others..."

Every word and every sentence was filled with care and filial piety for his relatives. The smile on Xie Jingliu's lips deepened, he suddenly took the folding fan and tapped his little cousin on the head.

"Yeah!" Yu Youyao covered her forehead, which didn't hurt much, and stared at the third cousin with a sad face: "third cousin, why are you beating me, it hurts a lot."

How much force he exerted, don't he know? Xie Jingliu smiled: "You are so young, why are you worrying about all this? Don't ask me, what fun, delicious, and good-looking I brought you this time? It's like a half-aged girl. ? It's like a little old woman."

Speaking of this, his eyes were deep and deep.

He followed the merchant ship to Beijing for three days, and he was not in a hurry to Shangyu Mansion. It was also because he came here for the first time that he had inquired about what was going on in Yu Mansion in advance.

The mistress of the house was ill and could not manage the house, but asked a half-year-old child to help with the housekeeping. Mrs. Yu was a kind grandmother and paved the way for her granddaughter.

But a slender half-year-old child is busy running the house like an adult, and even if he is protected by his grandmother, his life in the house is not so comfortable.

He had also paid attention to Yang's, and on the surface he looked generous and decent.

But when I was talking to him, my eyebrows were raised unconsciously, and my eyes were hanging a little.

Also see what this stepmother is.

But it is also true that Yu Zongzheng couldn't wait to welcome people into the door a hundred days after his aunt died.

It is said to the outside world that Mrs. Yu is too old to take care of her eldest daughter who is still in the swaddling years. In addition, Yaoyao was born a few days early, which is really worrying. , because he married the concubine of Yu Zongzheng's Shangfeng family, first of all, there was not much to say from the court. Although outsiders felt rushed, they would inevitably have some speculations, but Dali couldn't say a reason. Just a few words.

But Xie's house knows it well, and these words will fool outsiders.

A trace of ridicule flashed across Xie Jingliu's eyes.

Mr. Yu was afraid that he had hooked up with this Yang's daughter early in the morning, and Yu Jianjia was not really premature.

Yu Youyao's eyes were slightly astringent, and she blinked, hiding the astringency in her eyes, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Third cousin, how can you say that you are a little old woman, dare I be filial to my elders, and filial piety is wrong?"

In the past, her father disliked her for not knowing the importance and ignorance.

The grandmother didn't dislike her, but she also hoped that she would learn more rules, and invited Nanny Xu into the house.

Only the grandfather and the others treated her with sincerity, and would think that she was only a half-year-old child, and at this age, they should think about eating, drinking and playing.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of a reel.

As soon as Yu Youyao turned her head, she saw Chang An pushing her cousin over, and quickly said, "Cousin, tell me, how am I like a little old woman?"

Zhou Linghuai's expression froze slightly, thinking that the little girl often said that he was like a "little old man", and now the feng shui took turns, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

But the little girl loves face, but she really can't laugh, making the little girl angry.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "My cousin is not even ten years old, so she's a little older."

Xie Jingliu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Linghuai.

The half-year-old boy was sitting in a wheelchair, dressed in black and black.

Except for Mrs. Yu, the cousin rarely mentioned the manor's personnel in the letter. In the last letter, he wrote a lot of the cousin's words.

In Anshou Hall, Xie Jingliu paid special attention to Zhou Linghuai.

As if feeling Xie Jingliu's undisguised scrutiny, Zhou Linghuai raised his eyes.

As soon as the eyes of the two met, Yu Youyao felt that the atmosphere was not right, turned to look at the third cousin, and then looked back at the cousin.

So, he quickly opened his mouth: "Third cousin, this is my cousin Zhou Linghuai, who came from Youzhou. He has been taking good care of me during this time..."

The little mouth said loudly that the cousin was not in good health, but every day he had to take time to go to the Yuyu Academy to guide her in calligraphy, schoolwork, and piano skills. She played the qin, and she also gave a fragrant fan before...

As if she was afraid that others would not know how good her cousin was to her.

Zhou Linghuai was amused when he heard this.

But Xie Liujing's mood was not very good, and the folding fan tapped on the palm of his hand: "I have learned so many things at a young age, how can I still have time to play?"

The little cousin showed her closeness to Zhou Linghuai inside and outside of her words, calling him Zhou Lingbao's cousin, and calling him the third cousin. He ranked third in the Xie Mansion, so he couldn't be a "cousin"?

He really didn't expect that the little cousin was still living like this in the Yu Mansion, and he couldn't help being displeased with the Yu Mansion, and it was inevitable that he would turn his anger on Zhou Linghuai.

Yu Youyao stopped abruptly when she reached her lips, but she looked at the third cousin with a sullen face, and didn't dare to say more. She quickly looked at Zhou Linghuai and introduced: "Cousin, this is my third cousin..."

Before he finished speaking, he let Xie Jingliu knock a fan on his forehead: "Call me cousin!"

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips lightly, and looked at Xie Jingliu's hand holding the folding fan.

Yu Youyao, who was lightly tapped, didn't feel any pain, but she was squeamish since she was a child. Even though she learned things together with Nanny Xu, she suffered a lot, and her squeamishness couldn't be changed.

She covered her forehead, blinked her eyes, and looked at Xie Jingliu, her pupils were as black and bright as a black agate immersed in water.
