171 Cousin Looks Good Too
Now, Young Master could remain calm. As he flipped through a book, he asked him to do the massage without even frowning.
In the past, he did not like to eat sweet things. However, ever since she had tied the Pomegranate Flower sachet around his waist, he could still eat candy.
The more Chang An thought about it, the more incredulous he felt. He simply stopped thinking and quickly went over to help his young master change.
Yu Youyao took another careful look at the zither on the desk. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Before long, her cousin came out.
The black clothes were tinged with red. It wasn’t as deep as pure black, but it wasn’t as ostentatious as red, making her cousin look even more reserved.
This outfit was also the style that Yu Youyao had thought of.
His clothes were straight and had a straight collar. The black embroidered gold belt outlined her cousin’s thin and narrow waist, making him look a little charming.
If it were anyone else, they would probably look a little weak and slender.
However, her cousin’s chest was solid and broad. With a wide chest and narrow waist, he really revealed his outstanding bearing and looked highly dignified.
There were vines embroidered on his clothes, and the weeds climbed up from his waist like vines. They suddenly spread out on his shoulders, making him look elegant and reserved. He was peerless in this world, but also thin and bright.
Yu Youyao no longer knew how to praise her cousin. Her eyes sparkled. “Cousin, you’re good-looking. You look good in anything.”
Zhou Linghuai suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. If she still praised him like that, he probably wouldn’t be able to take it anymore. His gaze landed on the little girl and paused slightly. “You…”
As soon as Fang said this, his voice paused.
Yu Youyao looked at her cousin suspiciously.
Zhou Linghuai was slightly embarrassed. He raised his hand and was about to rub the top of the little girl’s head when he realized that she was wearing a flower crown today. Her raven black hair was gathered in the crown, and she did not even leave her fringe behind. Only the jade beads hanging from the flower crown swayed with the little girl’s little head, revealing a cheerful and graceful look.
Zhou Linghuai put his hand down again and chuckled. “Cousin, you look good too.”
Today, she looked especially good.
Her silver-white embroidered clothes were flowing with luster, but she was beautiful and noble. Her young face looked much older.
Yu Youyao immediately smiled. She stood up and spun around in front of her cousin. Her eight-piece dress spread out to reveal blooming flowers. She was indescribably beautiful.
There was a smile on Zhou Linghuai’s lips, like the bright moon.
Yu Shuangbai was crawling beside the rockery and feeding the fish in boredom. When she saw that Yu Youyao had returned happily, she glared at her angrily. “You’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for almost an hour.”
“I was looking for Cousin.” Yu Youyao took the fish food from her hand and sprinkled it into the water. The colorful koi fish gathered and fought for the food.
Yu Shuangbai rolled her eyes. “Come on, you’re stuck to Cousin Zhou every day. I almost thought that Cousin Zhou had become your only cousin, and that all of us were fake cousins.”
Yu Youyao’s lips curved into a smile. “Oh, those words are so sour. You’re just envious of the sandalwood fan Cousin made for me.”
The sandalwood fan was too exquisite, so she did not show it off. She just took it out in the courtyard to use it, but Yu Shuangbai, who was looking for her to hang out, saw it. Yu Shuangbai was envious.
She had originally wanted to find her cousin and ask him to make one for her, but Yu Shuangbai wasn’t familiar with her cousin, so she couldn’t just say it directly and asked her to speak on her behalf.
She said, “It’s very troublesome to make sandalwood fans. Cousin isn’t in good health, and he’s busy with schoolwork, so he doesn’t have time to make this. It was also because it had rained for a few days previously that Cousin’s leg disease acted up and his bones hurt terribly. I helped take care of him for a few days and made some medicinal oil that worked well. That’s why Cousin made a sandalwood fan and thanked me.”
Yu Shuangbai was not an unreasonable person. After hearing this, she did not insist anymore.
And that was that.
At the mention of this, Yu Shuangbai pouted. “Who wouldn’t be envious of such an exquisite fan? Cousin Zhou is really impressive. He’s good at studying, knows how to play the zither, and even knows how to make sandalwood fans. Compared to him, Big Brother only knows how to study, and Second Brother is even more useless.”
Yu Youyao did not know how to respond to this, so she just pursed her lips and smiled.
At the mention of Yu Shanxin, Yu Shuangbai had a bitter expression. “You don’t know this, but I found Second Brother a few days ago and asked him to make a fan for me. When he heard this, he chased me out of the door like he was chasing away a fly and told me not to disturb him while he was reading. I said that Cousin Zhou would make a fan for Eldest Sister. Second Brother said that I would be disappointed as he wasn’t a capable person like Cousin Zhou, so it’s useless for me to look for him. He wouldn’t know how to make a fan in his entire life.”
She straightened her neck and imitated Yu Shanxin’s voice. Yu Youyao laughed until she fell. She only managed to stand steadily after holding on to the pillar in the corridor.
After Yu Shuangbai finished talking, she looked at Yu Youyao. “Don’t you think it’s infuriating?”
Yu Youyao finally stopped laughing, but she was amused by Yu Shuangbai’s dejected expression. She took her handkerchief and pressed it against the corner of her mouth. “To think you could think of asking Second Brother to make you a fan.”
Yu Shuangbai was unconvinced. “If I don’t look for him, I can’t possibly look for Big Brother, right? You also know that there are still two to three years before Big Brother will take the imperial examination. If I dare to disturb him from studying, will my mother let me off?”
Yu Youyao laughed again. “You don’t know that Second Brother is very jumpy. How can he calm down and do such meticulous work? Didn’t you say that you couldn’t stand learning needlework? This is what you don’t want others to do to you. Besides, Second Brother usually dotes on you the most. When he went out to shop, he would find some exquisite items for you. You’re really greedy.”
Upon hearing Yu Youyao’s words, Yu Shuangbai thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. Her anger dissipated. “Forget it. On the account that he usually treats me well, I’ll forgive him generously this time.”
Yu Youyao was smiling when Cao Cao arrived.
Yu Shanxin went onto the white stone bridge. When he saw Yu Youyao and Yu Shuangbai under the corridor not far away, he hurriedly ran over and jumped forward like a monkey. With one hand on the fence, he flipped himself up and over the fence.
“Eldest Sister and Second Sister.” Yu Shanxin smiled with his white teeth that were rather flattering.
Yu Youyao smiled and called out, “Second Brother.”
Yu Shuangbai was clearly not angry anymore, but she still tilted her head and snorted lightly, as if she did not care.
Yu Shanxin gave Yu Youyao a look, asking her to help put in a few good words. Yu Youyao blinked, looking helpless.
Yu Shanxin took out a box and approached Yu Shuangbai fawningly. “Second Sister, take a look. I found another novel item for you today. I guarantee that you’ll like it.”
Yu Shuangbai turned around and ignored him.
