All Hail Cousin Brother

Zhou Linghuai looked at the taut curtains, and saw the little girl standing on tiptoe again, and took a huanghuali wood grain box from a hidden compartment on the bookshelf.

Yu Youyao put the box on the desk: "Cousin, come closer, don't stay so far away from me."

Zhou Linghuai pursed her lips, and she really leaned over.

"Lower your head, lower your head." As the little girl said, she leaned closer to her cousin, and her little head was almost close to his chest.

Zhou Linghuai was a little uncomfortable and wanted to lean back when he heard Yu Youyao say, "Cousin, don't blink!"

Zhou Linghuai's body froze and didn't move. After listening to the little girl's words, she didn't blink. Seeing that she carefully opened the lock on the box, one hand covered the surface of the box, and the other hand gently, gently, put the lock on the box. The lid of the box was pulled open by a slit...

Zhou Linghuai's expression froze slightly, and in the dark study room, he could see a very dazzling light shining through the slits, and he also guessed what was inside.

As the lid of the box opened more and more, the brilliance of the night pearl, like the moonlight, and the morning sun, spread out in the box, filling the entire room.

The dark room suddenly became bright as day.

Yu Youyao tilted her head to look at her cousin. The bright moonlight reflected on her small jade-white face, making her look fresher and brighter: "Cousin, it's the night pearl, doesn't it look good?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Where did my cousin get it, it's really rare."

The two night pearls are only the size of a lychee, not too big or too small. One is moon white and the other is sun yellow. The color is not too surprising, but the appearance is good.

The rare thing is that the night pearls are rare, and they are rarely seen in the public. Most of them are kept in the palace, and only a few people keep them, and they are also tightly covered, for fear that people will find out.

Back then, in his house, there was a box of night pearls, the big ones were like the mouth of a tea bowl, and the small ones were like lychees.

When I was a child, I was playful and thought the light of the night pearl was very beautiful, so I stole it and bounced it on the ground as a pearl. Later, I taught my father about it, and took a whip and whipped it.

Only then did I know that his father ran into the palace back then and bought this box of night pearls from the emperor's brother's private treasury, just to give her mother a betrothal gift.

Yu Youyao smiled and narrowed her eyes, pointing at a moon-white one: "This one is called "Yuejiao", and it was given to my mother by my great-grandfather." After speaking, she pointed to another sun-yellow one: "This one It's called "Ri Xi"." The smile on her lips became brighter and brighter. Compared with the luminous night pearl, it was no less impressive: "It was given to me by my grandfather."

Zhou Linghuai smiled: "It turned out to be a couple."

The night pearls are all single, and I have never heard of a pair. He took a closer look at the "Sun Xi" and "Moon Jiao" in the box. He really saw them like the moonlight shining brightly, like the sun shining brightly. , One yellow and one white complement each other, and there is another strand of blue and white, which shows a bit of strangeness.

Yu Youyao suddenly held her cousin's hand.

Zhou Linghuai was stunned for a moment, his hands trembled slightly, he looked down at the little girl, gently opened his palm, and put "Ri Xi" on his palm.

"This is my cousin. My cousin always likes to stay in the study at night and read books, and he often stays in the middle of the night," she said. "Like a child, I don't listen to anything," she sighed and shook her head, but said helplessly, "In the future, cousin will put Ye Mingzhu in the study, and I won't be afraid of hurting my eyes."

Zhou Linghuai was not surprised at all, he clenched his hand tightly and wrapped "Ri Xi" in the palm of his hand, and there were light slits between his fingers, "Okay!"

Yu Youyao tilted her head and looked at her cousin's face, which was close at hand, reflecting the sun's rays of light. The face was like a white jade, as beautiful as it was glowing. She couldn't help laughing and her lips curved. Qinrun a touch of mountain light.

The two were very close, and the little girl tilted her head, Zhou Linghuai's heart skipped a beat, and the little girl's delicate and fresh face was reflected in her eyes. Liao Guanghua stabbed, the eyelashes on his eyes, thick and slender, trembling slightly, like the fluttering of butterfly wings, gently tugging at his heartstrings, and even his heart couldn't help shrinking slightly.

Zhou Linghuai firmly clenched the armrest of the wheelchair, all five fingers were blue and white, he slowly lowered his eyes, and the little girl's smiling lips broke into his eyes unexpectedly.

The peach red lipstick, when smiling, is like a peach with its full bloom and its scorching color, scorching the eyes, the little girl is close, he can almost smell a wisp of peach. Sweet.

The lipstick that the little girl usually uses is rose color, pink and delicate, very beautiful. It was the first time I saw her use peach red, and it looked very fresh. It was probably a new product brought by Xie Mansion this time.

Since when did he start paying attention to little girls, eyebrow dyeing, mouth grease, etc.? Zhou Linghuai felt that something was wrong, raised his eyes again, and changed the subject: "Then is the flower party in Changxing Hou's mansion. Although aunt and grandmother asked second aunt to take you with you, when you go outside, her aunt can't surpass Yang's. Stepmother, you can't get involved if you are afraid, everything depends on you, so don't make yourself wrong."

Yu Youyao thought again that when her cousin said, "No matter what, I'll take care of you", she is not a fool, and she can't hear it. My cousin's words are not joking or vague. Yes, I couldn't help but "squeak" in my heart, I always felt that my cousin was very mysterious, as if nothing in this world would make it difficult to live with him, even a distinguished family like the Houfu of Changxing, in my cousin's eyes, it was nothing Like ants.

Thinking of this, Yu Youyao didn't dare to think about it any more. Anyway, her cousin was good to her, and she wouldn't hurt her no matter what, thinking about it.

She smiled and curled her lips: "Cousin, I understand. During this time, Mother Xu taught me a lot of etiquette for dealing with people and things, and she also told me about the personnel affairs of various families in Beijing, if there was something wrong, know how to deal with it.”

It is worth mentioning that Miss Cao Qi and Cao Yingxue from the Marquis of Changxing, Miss Lu Wu and Lu Mingyao from the Marquis of Weining, must have to deal with them at flower fairs, so of course they should pay special attention.

There are also some noble ladies of the royal family, who are a little older than many years, and probably won't get together with them, so there is no need to be too nervous.

The flower party in the Marquis of Changxing is about to arrive. Mrs. Yu played her own way, picked out the most suitable sisters, and each gave Yu Youyao, Yu Shuangbai, and Yu Jianjia, even the concubines, all got their own A beautiful looking piece of jewelry.
