All Hail Cousin Brother

Having lived in Yu Mansion for so long, Zhou Linghuai was used to it, and spent the holidays with Yu Youyao.

It was only then that Yu Youyao thought of it. During this time, she got into all kinds of incense sticks, and she didn't get involved much in the house, big or small.

Early this morning, Chunxiao also mentioned: "Today is Laba, the palace gave Laba porridge yesterday, and the old lady distributed some to each hospital. King Li of Zhou was still in mourning, and he abolished a banquet. I only prepared the Laba sacrificial ceremony, and I didn’t hold a banquet, and each had some Laba porridge, and it was easy.”

She also only listened to one ear.

During breakfast, I was thinking about improving the incense recipe. I only knew that after using porridge, I went into the incense room and completely forgot about it.

It wasn't until it snowed outside that Yu Youyao was worried about her cousin, so she left the incense room.

I thought it was my cousin who was waiting to spend the festival with her, but she didn't go to the Qingyuanyuan, so she came over by herself.

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips: "I forgot that today is Laba Festival. If you count the days, tomorrow will be twenty-one days for King Li's funeral, so it's time to get rid of the clothes."

In the past, during the Laba Festival, the family had to be busy, preparing a table of Laba feasts, and the whole family gathered together in a lively and lively way, speaking auspicious words of Ruixue Zhaofengnian.

It's been cold this year, but I didn't feel the atmosphere of Laba Festival at all, so I didn't take it to heart.

But Yu Youyao was still very happy.

After the funeral of King Li of Zhou, this matter really came to an end, and everything could be turned over again. She hoped that her cousin would start a new journey from then on, like a new life.

Zhou Linghuai heard what she meant, and said meaningfully: "From now on, I really don't care anymore in this world."

As soon as I heard this, I knew that my cousin really planned to let go.

Yu Youyao was overjoyed, took her cousin's hand, and smiled so brightly that her brows and eyes were as clear as snow: "Why don't you worry about it anymore? Isn't there still me?!"

This was brought to the door by himself, and Zhou Linghuai naturally had no reason to push it out: "Okay, from now on, you are the only entanglement in my world."

He changed his concern into a tie, and the greed, hatred, delusion and obsession in his heart entangled him like a weed.

Yu Youyao didn't hear the difference, she just felt happy: "The cousin should always remember that, from now on, no matter if it's close by or at the end of the world, I will always care about my cousin. Chang Jian, the three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, seeing each other year after year."

The original sentence should be: First, I wish my husband a thousand years, and second, I wish my concubine to be healthy.

Yu Youyao liked the beautiful hope of eternal companionship in this poem, but felt that it seemed inaccurate and a little weird when it was applied to her and her cousin, so she changed it.

It was changed in this way, and it was more in line with her and her cousin's mutual relatives, simple and sincere, and wanted to accompany each other.

Yu Youyao smiled brightly and happily, and the stars in her eyes were so pure and clear.

The subtlety of poetry is that the same poem, in different environments and used by different people, will have different interpretations, understandings, and consciously correct the words.

But in Zhou Linghuai's ears, it wasn't like that at all.

He is proficient in the rules of poetry, and he first thought of it, even if Yu Youyao changed the poem to "cousin" and "my body", and replaced the husband and wife in the poem with cousins.

But Yu Youyao forgot that they were not real cousins.

Apart from the relationship between cousins ​​and sisters, two people who are not related by blood want to stay together forever...

Zhou Linghuai took a deep look at Yu Youyao, the little girl laughed heartlessly, she didn't know, she sold herself just a poem.

The words "young and ignorant" are the most suitable for her.

Zhou Linghuai sighed in his heart, this girl is shrewd and intelligent in dealing with people, but sometimes she is confused and stupid, which makes people a little helpless.

This is too small, Zhou Linghuai suppressed the delusion in his heart and smiled: "I prepared a gift for my cousin."

After all, he had to prepare gifts for her during the festivals. He always remembered that even the Laba Festival could not be missed.

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Show it to me quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Tao ran into the room: "Miss, several trucks of large stones have been transported from outside, and it is said that the Xielong Stones were transported from Wutai Mountain. The master is alarmed..."

Yu Youyao smiled and frowned, then turned to look at his cousin: "Is it the Xielong Stone?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "That's right, Shanxi is a long way, and it's autumn and winter, and the journey is not easy. It took a lot of time. Although the stones were transported into Beijing, they had to be carved a little, and then placed in the ice cellar. Tibetan winter, when the weather is very hot next year, it can be a cool summer.”

Yu Youyao was very happy: "I'll go out and have a look too."

Zhou Linghuai just wanted to talk about going together.

Yu Youyao seemed to have guessed that he would say this, and his eyes glared again: "Just wait for me in the room obediently, I will go back when I go, and I won't make my cousin wait too long."

Zhou Linghuai was helpless, but with the little girl's tender and fierce expression on her face, she had no choice but to nod her head.

With a guarantee, Yu Youyao "suddenly" stood up from the stool, grabbed the skirt and ran out.

Zhou Linghuai frowned: "Come back, tie the cloak, and take the stove before going out."

Yu Youyao withdrew her footsteps and returned to the house angrily.

Xia Tao had already brought a long cloak with a fur tie and hat, and a hand-warming jade sleeve stove, and waited on Yu Youyao to dress neatly before Yu Youyao was allowed to go out by her cousin.

The snowstorm outside was a bit heavier, and Yu Youyao tightened the fur collar hat on her head, and walked along the hand porch, all the way to the front of the hanging flower door.

A lot of people have gathered around, around the three big stones in front of the hanging flower gate, pointing at them——

"The weather is so cold, the road in Shanxi is a long way, stretches 100,000 miles of mountains, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and there are many bandits in the vicinity, Master Biao really took great pains to get a few stones."

"This is not an ordinary stone. It is the Xielong Stone that was produced in Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province. It is also called Qingliang Stone. One stone is worth ten thousand gold. It was escorted to Beijing by a dart."

"I heard that this stone was mined at the heights of Mount Wutai, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, so the stone is cold and cool. It can be placed in the house in summer to cool off the heat and dryness."

"I know, our eldest miss is suffering from summer, and is more afraid of heat than the old lady. I'm afraid this stone is not from the young master, so I found it specially for the eldest miss!"

"Master Biao loves the eldest miss the most, and it's 80 percent..."

"..."

As soon as the stone was transported into the house, everyone in the house knew that it was for the eldest lady.

Yu Youyao smiled secretly and quickly looked at the stone.

The largest piece is as high as six feet (two meters), like undulating mountains, dark green in color, and the stone has the texture of flowers, birds, insects and beasts, which is extremely beautiful.
