All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao glanced at her cousin quietly, and when she saw her cousin was looking at her, she turned her head in a panic, held her small pink and white fist, and said loudly, "Cousin, I will definitely practice calligraphy well. , try to practice the words well."

How ugly the little girl's words are, I wondered a little, Zhou Linghuai's lips curled slightly, and he chuckled: "Mr. praised my cousin on the spot, presumably my cousin not only learned well, but also wrote a good article, but I just wanted to take a look at my cousin. What's so special about the article."

Hearing her cousin compliment her, Yu Youyao lost her head. She didn't care whether her words were good or not, so she quickly asked Xia Tao to take the transcript, took it, and handed it to her cousin: "Cousin, look."

Zhou Linghuai took the thick stack of transcripts and looked straight ahead. If the corners of his mouth seemed to have no curvature, he suddenly shuddered slightly, and his mind was dazzled, filled with handwriting with tilted head and tail, and he was also stunned for a while.

The words are a little worse, but it really flattered her.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Youyao, and organized the language in his mind, but he was afraid that the words would be too heavy, which would make the little girl uncomfortable. Comment one or two.

But seeing the little girl's eyes widened and looking at him with hope, the words that came to her mouth seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit them out.

Yu Youyao didn't know anything about his cousin's indescribable mental journey. He looked at his cousin and asked nervously, "Cousin, how is my writing? Is it really bad?"

Zhou Linghuai took a deep breath and spit out two words between her pale lips with difficulty: "Not bad."

Then, he lowered his head and began to read the transcript page by page.

I didn't see it at all, Yu Youyao's excited smile almost didn't dazzle people's eyes after hearing the word "good" from him.

My cousin didn't dislike her writing badly at all.

Standing behind Zhou Linghuai, Chang'an naturally saw the words written by Yu Youyao, and almost choked on his saliva.

When he was five years old, the words he wrote were better-looking than Miss Yu. It was really embarrassing for the young master. In order to take care of Miss Yu's face, he had no conscience and opened his eyes to talk nonsense.

After a while, Zhou Linghuai finished reading the transcript, and as soon as he looked up, he met Yu Youyou's shy look, Zhou Linghuai's expression paused for a moment: "The article is really well written, but..."

Next, Zhou Linghuai pointed out the fallacies in the article one by one, and re-explained the areas that he did not understand enough.

Let Yu Youyao have a sudden realization every time, and the feeling of enlightenment and enlightenment is suddenly heard.

After about a cup of tea, Zhou Linghuai stopped talking and asked, "Do you understand?"

Yu Youyao nodded: "Understood."

Seeing that her expression was clear and her eyes were clean, she clearly understood, Zhou Linghuai chuckled lightly: "If you don't understand anything in the coursework in the future, feel free to ask me."

He was originally worried that the little girl had a loose heart and didn't like to read. He hadn't been to homeschool for more than a month, so he couldn't keep up with the progress.

Who knows that the little girl is quick-witted and can see through at one point.

Yu Youyao nodded again and again, admiringly: "Cousin is really powerful, just as powerful as Mr. Ye Nu."

She privately felt that her cousin was more knowledgeable than Mr. Ye Nu, and her vision and knowledge were also broader. However, the world has many constraints on women, and there are many restrictions on the books women can read.

At this moment, Mother Xu came over: "It's time for lunch."

Yu Youyao pulled her cousin's sleeve: "Cousin, don't go back to the Qingyuanyuan, stay and have lunch with me. Madam Xu's craftsmanship is excellent, you must have a good taste."

Zhou Linghuai wanted to refuse, but he looked at the little girl's slender fingers, pinched his sleeves lightly, and did not say anything about refusal, but nodded in response.

Yu Youyao was very happy, and quickly ordered the maid to put lunch in the side room in the flower hall, and go to the side room with Zhou Linghuai for dinner.

There were a few more dishes on the table than usual, and they were all light meals that my cousin likes to eat on weekdays. I think it was because Mother Xu knew that her cousin was here, and ordered the kitchen to prepare more.

Yu Youyao took a piece of winter bamboo shoots from the fried pork slices with winter bamboo shoots and put it on the plate in front of his cousin: "The winter bamboo shoots were harvested in the cellar last winter. They are fresh and refreshing. My cousin has a taste."

Zhou Linghuai had a smile in his eyes, and gave Yu Youyao the Longjing shrimp that he had just eaten and thought it was good: "Cousin eats it too."

After he finished speaking, he put the winter bamboo shoots in the plate back into the bowl, picked it up from the bowl again, and put it into his mouth.

The crisp and refreshing winter bamboo shoots seem to be more delicious than usual.

Yu Youyao also picked up the shrimp and ate it happily. She likes to eat river fresh food and seafood. Every time she comes to Quanzhou Prefecture to give gifts, most of them are some rare seafood.

A lunch, in the two cousins ​​you come and go, brothers and sisters in the end.

After the meal, Xia Tao brought the herbal tea for digestion and nourishing the stomach. The two of them drank it without wasting any time, and learned the lessons that Yu Youyao had taught before.

One teaches and one learns.

Yu Youyao has a good grasp of Linghui, and the originally obscure and difficult homework has become easy to understand after being explained by her cousin. When she learns it, she is no slower than Aunt Xu's teaching her pharmacology.

Seeing that the time is almost up, Zhou Linghuai should also go to the West Palace to study: "Study is not a one-day job, my cousin is talented and smart, and she can learn things much faster than most people. Remember to combine work and rest, and don't be too hasty."

The little girl not only has heavy schoolwork, but also learns a lot of things with Mother Xu. It is especially important to combine work and rest, otherwise her body will be tired.

"Cousin, don't worry." Yu Youyao nodded, looking at his cousin's dark eyebrows, with a faint look of fatigue, and the pale sick face seemed to be more ugly than before, so she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Just now, she only cared about studying with her cousin, but she forgot. My cousin is not in good health, and the schoolwork is already very heavy every day. She even took time to teach her. Today, I didn't even have a break at noon. Come to think of it. The body is a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Linghuai nodded and was about to leave.

"Cousin, wait a minute." Yu Youyao hurriedly called her cousin, and without waiting for Zhou Linghuai to ask, she ran into the inner room with her skirt in hand.

Zhou Linghuai lightly rubbed the slightly swollen temple and waited in place.

Chang'an was a little worried: "Young master hasn't rested all afternoon, but is a little uncomfortable? Why don't you take a leave of absence from Mr. Yu and let Uncle Sun take a look at it for you, and then go to school tomorrow? The young master is not in good health, and everyone in the house knows it. Yes, and the homework taught by the master, the young master has learned it before, even if he misses half a day of class, it is not a big deal."

Zhou Linghuai shook his head and said nothing.
