All Hail Cousin Brother

Cherries are fragile, and once they are picked, they are frozen and sent to the capital in a hurry. I have to keep changing the ice on the road, so that the ice cannot be melted, otherwise the cherries will not be fresh.

It will not be available in Beijing until late March every year, and the number is very limited.

Yu Youyao can eat cherries every year, but the house can't get too many cherries. There are at most a dozen cherries in each person's hands. It is still connected to the grandmother's portion, so I will have a taste.

This cup of cherries was bigger, fresher, fuller than what she used to eat, red and bright, and the bottom of the cup was covered with ice. Yu Youyao counted them one by one, more than 30, and was about to go crazy with joy.

She had never eaten so many cherries.

Chunxiao came over with a plate of cherries.

After the big red cherry was dipped in water, it looked gorgeous and watery. Yu Youyao had sour water in his mouth, so greedy, he took a big cherry, removed the stem on the top, and sent it to Zhou Linghuai's lips with a handkerchief. In the dark eyes, a bright light: "Cousin, you eat first."

Zhou Linghuai didn't really like to eat such sweet and sour things, but the little girl was obviously greedy and kept swallowing, but she didn't think about eating it herself, but first thought of bringing it to his mouth, sleeping brightly. In the phoenix eyes, looking at him with anticipation, he suddenly felt sour water in his mouth, so he couldn't help opening his mouth.

As soon as the frozen cherries are eaten, they feel cool and refreshing. When you take a bite, the juice bursts out in your mouth. It is sour and sweet, but it is more sweet than sour. The cherries that usually feel sour are unexpectedly delicious. .

Yu Youyao looked at him eagerly and asked, "Cousin, are cherries delicious? Are they sweet?"

Zhou Linghuai smiled unconsciously and nodded: "It's delicious and sweet, you can eat it yourself, it won't be fresh after a while."

"Okay!" Yu Youyao's jade-like fingertips gently twisted the bright red cherries and put them into his mouth elegantly. The delicate red lips were even more beautiful than the cherries.

Zhou Linghuai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand on his knee suddenly tightened.

"Cousin, this is the best cherries I've ever eaten." Yu Youyao's eyes sparkled, she couldn't help eating one by one, and she ate a dozen of them at once, and she felt a little satisfied.

Seeing my cousin sitting and watching her eating cherries, I felt that I was too greedy, and I only cared about eating alone, but I forgot my cousin, so I took a cherry in shame and wanted to feed him: "Cousin, you eat too!"

Zhou Linghuai looked at the big red cherries handed in front of him, and shook his head: "I don't like to eat sour cherries very much. I can just taste one or two once in a while." Seeing that Yu Youyao really liked it, she added, "If you like it, I'll give you more some other day. Come here, but the cherry ice is over, so you can't eat too much at one time."

"Thank you cousin!" Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips, automatically ignoring the words behind her cousin.

I didn't ask, the cousin who went to relatives in the middle of the family, where did he get so many cherries, and when there were no cherries in Beijing, they sent them to her.

I never thought about giving the cherries to my grandmother. After all, my cousin's origin of the cherries is really unclear.

After eating half of the cherries, Yu Youyao didn't eat any more, so as not to have lunch for a while.

Chunxiao iced the remaining half of the cherries and saved the girl to eat in the afternoon.

At this moment, Dongmei led Madam Su into the house.

Yu Youyao walked over quickly.

Madam Su handed a bamboo box forward: "Mr. used the pear cream sent by the eldest lady, and the throat became more comfortable, and it was no longer a serious problem. I ordered the old slave to give the eldest lady a bamboo tube pen that she made by herself, and told the eldest lady to take good care of her. Practice writing."

Yu Youyao was very pleasantly surprised. She quickly held the bamboo box with both hands, and did not shy away from anything. She opened the box immediately, and there lay a pen with seven wolves and three sheep. The green bamboo tube was carved with detailed bamboo patterns. , looks simple and generous, elegant and vigorous.

"Mother Su, thank you sir for me, and said that I like this pen very much." The joy on Yu Youyao's face was undisguised.

Madam Su's smile deepened, and Yu Youyao sent her out the door in person.

Back in the house, Yu Youyao held the pen and couldn't put it down. She didn't know what was so good about this pen, so she just liked it: "I didn't expect Mr. Ye Nv to be able to make pens."

Zhou Linghuai said indifferently: "The Linjiang House Ye Pen is famous all over the world. Among them, Mr. Ye Nv is the most famous. A pen is hard to find."

He could see at a glance that this pen was specially made by Mr. Ye Nuo for Yu Youyao. No matter the length, size, weight, or hair, it was made according to Yu Youyao's writing habits. Very appropriate, it seems that Mr. Ye Nv really regards Yu Youyao as a proud student.

Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "Mr. Ye Nu is so powerful?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "More than that, Mr. Ye Nv is good at making pens, but she doesn't make money by making pens. Every pen she makes is a fine product. Earlier, the fame spread to the empress dowager, and she once made a fortune for her. The empress dowager made pens."

Yu Youyao opened her mouth slightly, and was really surprised. After reacting to it, she said excitedly, "Cousin, let's go to the study to practice calligraphy!"

Zhou Linghuai said indulgently, "Let's go!"

Chunxiao and Dongmei are looking at each other, did Young Master Biao and Miss Biao forget that they are going to have lunch soon? Do they want to go over and remind me?

In the study, Yu Youyao dipped his ink in ink and swiped his brushes like running water. He felt that this pen was used like an arm, but it was very easy to use. When he looked down, even the words he wrote were not very ordinary compared to usual, so he couldn't bear it. Zhu Zhu praised: "Mr. Ye Nu, you are really amazing!"

Zhou Linghuai suddenly thought that the little girl used to say to him admiringly: "Cousin, it's amazing!"

He pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and then changed the subject: "I have been practicing calligraphy for a while, and my cousin can use a slightly softer pen. I have a seven-purple three-goat that is good, I used it in the past, after a while. Let Chang'an send it over, and my cousin can try to use it."

"I want the pen that my cousin used." Yu Youyao happily took her cousin's arm and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, cousin."

Zhou Linghuai twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and gave a soft "um".

After lunch, my cousin went to the academy, and Xia Tao came back from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion: "Lang Zhong took the pulse for Mr. Ye Nv. Mr. Ye Nv just got a little cold, and he will be fine after taking a few medicines."

Yu Youyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Send some good medicinal materials and supplements over, and let Mr. Ye Nu take care of her body carefully."

Xia Tao went out in response.

Two more days later, Yang Shuwan was still ill and did not seem to be getting better, so she asked Mammy Li to help her into the Anshou Hall and hand over the keys to the house.

Yang Shuwan's face was haggard: "I have suffered from a headache. The boss told me to take care of it for a while, but I can't worry about the affairs of the mansion. At these times, the affairs of the mansion will be handled by Mrs. Liu Liu."
