All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 12: Cousin Zhou Linghuai

Patting her granddaughter's hand, Madam Yu looked at the boy in the hall lightly.

The young man raised his head again and said respectfully, "The son of Zhou's grandnephew Youzhou, the father's name is Linghuai, the name is Jingzhi, and he has seen his uncle and grandmother, because his legs and feet are inconvenient. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me."

After he finished speaking, he handed the palm-sized ebony box on his knees to Madam Liu next to him.

Madam Liu took it, turned her head and handed it to Madam Yu.

Mrs. Yu caressed the embossed peony affixed with gold and inlaid jade on the box, her expression full of nostalgia: "This box is the makeup I gave to Miaofu when she married Youzhou. It still remains."

The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified, and everyone else was also concerned.

Yu Miaofu is the elder sister of Mr. Yu. When Mrs. Yu was in her boudoir, she had a good relationship with this aunt.

Later, Yu Miaofu married the commander of Youzhou Guard.

Youzhou is far away from Jingzhao. After Yu Miaofu got married, it was less than five fingers who went back to her mother's house. Although the two families have always kept in touch, over time, the relationship will inevitably become estranged.

Thinking about the past, Mrs. Yu's eyes were a little wet, she squeezed the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes: "The last time I saw her was more than 30 years ago. I didn't expect this parting, it would be..." !

Three years ago, Bei Di invaded the northern border, and King You failed to defend it, resulting in the loss of three cities in the northern border, and countless casualties among the people.

Later, the court found out that King You was greedy for the Mo army, colluded with Bei Di, and attempted to rebel. The emperor was furious, and the palace of King You was raided and destroyed, and Youzhou was killed by officials and exiled.

The Zhou family was sacked from official positions, and relatives and friends avoided them like snakes and scorpions. Before long, Yu Miaofu and Zhou Linghuai, the grandparents, were left in the family.

Not long ago, Lian Yu Miaofu passed away.

Yu Youyao glanced at Zhou Linghuai curiously. Seeing that he was bowing his head, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he approached his grandmother and wanted to see what was in the box.

Madam Yu opened the box, and there was a letter and a thumb-sized bloodstone seal. The color was bright red like chicken blood, and the shape was exquisite and elegant.

A "Yu" character is engraved on the seal, and when the bottom of the seal is opened, there is a light red ink pad with a "Miao" character engraved on it.

It is Yu Miaofu's private seal.

This is Yu Miaofu's father. Grandpa Yu gave it to Yu Miaofu when she got married. Her daughter was married far away. The father was worried about her daughter's future.

After being stunned for a long time, Mrs. Yu sighed faintly. Without even reading the letter, she closed the box: "These years, Miaofu has really suffered."

The Zhou family was sacked from official positions, and they were not imprisoned, beheaded, or exiled, which was also the best result of the Yu family's mediation.

Even so, Yu Miaofu had a very difficult life in Youzhou.

But the emperor was not at ease with Youzhou, the Yu family was willing to help, but could not do anything, so in the past three years, they had completely cut off contact with Yu Miaofu, and the situation on Yu Miaofu's side was not clear at all.

Also yesterday, the concierge received a letter from Zhou Linghuai, and the family sent someone to the inn to inquire. Only then did they know that Yu Miaofu passed away due to illness a few months ago, and her grandson Zhou Linghuai had not yet reached the crown. Family.

Only then did the whole family of the Yu family gather together to wait for Zhou Linghuai's visit.

Fortunately, three years have passed since this incident, and the situation in Youzhou has become more stable.

The sadness on Mrs. Yu's face did not seem to be fake, Zhou Linghuai lowered her head: "Grandma left very peacefully, aunt and grandmother don't need to mind."

With a balance in mind, Madam Yu said to Zhou Linghuai, "You can live in Yu's house with peace of mind."

Zhou Linghuai said in a low voice, "Uncle Lao and grandmother."

Seeing that he was calm and calm, graceful in his attitude, neither humble nor arrogant in his speech, and knew how to advance and retreat, he had an innate dignity, and Mrs. Yu showed a little more sincerity to Zhou Linghuai.

Next, Madam Liu brought Zhou Linghuai to recognize people, and Zhou Linghuai respectfully greeted them one by one.

The scene was so boring that Yu Youyao was a little drowsy.

Finally, the elders have been recognized, and it is the turn of the peers.

Madam Liu looked up at Yu Youyao and looked in the direction: "This is the eldest sister in the house, named Youyao, nicknamed Yiyao, she is nine years old this year, and her biological mother, the Xie Family of Quanzhou Prefecture."

Yu Youyao, who was yawning while covering her small mouth, stood up from the couch in a rush, touched the corner of her mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief: fortunately, she didn't drool.

Zhou Linghuai noticed her small movements and nodded lightly to her: "Hello cousin."

The little girl in front of her was born a little chubby, but her stature was equal, she was round and delicate, her small round face was delicate and lovely, her eyebrows were hidden, and her eyes were not too small or small, like a phoenix tail that was slightly raised, and her eyes seemed to be small. Containing smoke, the eyes seem to be affectionate, and it seems that joy and hatred are three points higher than peach blossoms.

This is already a delicate color, and the bright light is just beginning to show.

Yu Youyao seemed to be blessed, and her voice was soft: "Hello, cousin."

The little girl tilted her head and smiled happily, her smile was clean and clear, Zhou Linghuai handed out the gift she had prepared: "I don't have anything long, I can only express my feelings by writing a copybook with my own hands. To despise."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Yu Youyao said in her mouth, and she couldn't wait to take the copybook and opened it on the spot.

Madam Yu next to her couldn't help but stunned.

On the pure white raw rice paper, there are rows of small characters in regular script, like clouds flowing and flowing water, slender and slender, and the bones are scattered.

With just such a handwriting, it can be regarded as amazing and brilliant, and I must be able to read books well.

The above is written in the "Pharmacist Sutra". There are elders in the family who worship the Buddha.

Before Zhou Linghuai prepared the gift, he must have inquired about the basic situation in Yu Mansion.

From this, it can be seen that he not only has amazing talent, but also has a meticulous city.

It is a pity that the disabled person cannot enter the official position. Mrs. Yu glanced at his leg and felt a lot of regret in her heart.

When Yu Youyao saw one of the sutras very familiar, she couldn't help but read on the spot: "I wish, my body is like lapis lazuli, clear inside and outside, pure and flawless, bright and vast, majestic virtues, good and safe body, majestic flame net, more than the sun and the moon, dark and haunted. All sentient beings, all of them are enlightened, they can do whatever they want and do whatever they want.”

It was the scripture she had seen in her dream, and she liked it very much.

Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but raised his eyes and glanced at the little girl, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Cousin's calligraphy is so beautiful," Yu Youyao held the copybook fondly. Even if he didn't know calligraphy, he could see that the calligraphy was beautifully written. Thinking of the calligraphy he wrote, he couldn't help but soften his face. Hong: "Change tomorrow to find someone to frame it and hang it in the room."
