All Hail Cousin Brother

385 There Are Empathetic Beauties in the World

“This is the process of investigating people. First is to find out their temperament. Later on, this high official listened to the expert’s guidance and placed the first person by his side as a guard. He had never overlooked anything and used the excuse of moving the second person far away. Later on, this person submitted to someone else and finally betrayed his master. In the end, this third person became his right-hand man.”

Towards the end, Zhou Linghuai’s expression paused for a moment. “Appearances come from the heart. A person’s physiognomy isn’t fixed, so you don’t have to care about his words. Just live well.”

As for his extremely expensive fate?

He had 3,000 elite soldiers, and 300,000 soldiers from Youzhou were also at his fingertips. With his protection, Yu Youyao would enjoy fortune and glory for a lifetime.

Yu Youyao nodded obediently. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at her cousin. “Cousin, how do you know everything? Do you also know some physiognomy skills?”

Zhou Linghuai shook his head. “I don’t know how to read faces. I only know how to read people.”

His master, Xuanji Zi, had said that since he had the fate of a true dragon, he couldn’t be the successor of Ghost Valley. In this life, if he learned the technique to recognize people, he would be able to rule the world.

Yu Youyao smiled. “There’s nothing good about learning physiognomy. This person would be like a charlatan. Cousin, this is very good!”

Zhou Linghuai smiled.

Yu Youyao suddenly said, “Without suffering from others,you won’t understand the pain of others. In my heart, my cousin is the best cousin.”

Mr. Xian Yun had said that her cousin was an Asura and not a kind person. However, she only knew that the Marquis of Changxing deserved to die, and so did the Marquis of Weining. The grudge between her parents was irreconcilable. This was justice and retribution.

What was wrong with that?

Zhou Linghuai was slightly stunned before he smiled. “I’ve never cared about his words.” However, he was very happy to hear such words from the little girl.

Ever since his identity as the heir of King You was revealed, the little girl had treated him the same as before, but she had never taken the initiative to ask about him.

Actually, as long as she wanted to know, he wouldn’t hide anything from her.

His worst fear was that she didn’t want to know.

In the eyes of most people in the world, what he wanted to do was treason. Even a virtuous person like Mr. Xian Yun did not agree with his actions.

What about Yu Youyao?

What was she thinking?

If she did not ask, did she not agree with what he had done, like the world?

But!

Now he knew that she did not ask because she was connected to him and resonated with him. She knew that he was suffering and knew that he was in pain. She was also willing to stand by his side and bear these pains with him.

Emperor Ming, in the month of August in the fall. At Taiye pool, several thousand leaved white lotuses were in full bloom. The emperor and his relatives had a feast to admire them.

They sighed and marvelled at their beauty.

The emperor pointed to the noble consort as he said, “Do you know that you’re beautiful and smart?” ”

In this world, there were women who were like flowers. They cleared the muscles and bones, solving all kinds of worries in the world. They were beautiful, heroic, and charming.

Mr. Xian Yun stayed in the Yu Residence for the entire day. At 4pm, Zhou Linghuai threatened him, “If you don’t leave, I’ll get Chang An to throw you out.”

However, this “respectable” Mr. Xian Yun was so angry that he stroked his beard and glared at him. He gave up on the idea of using the excuse of studying the chess game to stay in the Yu Residence for a few more days.

This kid was a man of his word. He couldn’t afford to offend him.

“Little Yu, the Eight Treasures Cake you made is quite delicious. Can I have some?”

She had personally made the Eight Treasures Cake for her cousin. Yu Youyao was not very happy, but since Mr. Xian Yun had asked for it directly, she turned around and instructed Chun Xiao, “Wrap a plate for him.”

Mr. Xian Yun immediately said shamelessly, “How can one plate be enough? It’ll take at least ten plates!”

Yu Youyao shook her head. “Three plates, that’s all!”

Mr. Xian Yun refused to give up. “How about five plates?”

“Two plates!”

“Then let’s have three plates!” However, he muttered in her heart. The eldest daughter of the Yu family looked like a delicate little girl. Why was she as difficult to deal with as the brat?

Zhou Linghuai pursed his lips as he listened to them bargain.

Hence, Mr. Xian Yun shamelessly said, “The tea I drank today seems to be different from usual. Little Yu, remember to pack more for me.”

A few of the new little girls in Yu Youyao’s courtyard had some talent in making incense. When making medicinal tea and fragrances, they would bring them along to help.

With someone’s help, it wasn’t difficult to do these things. As there were many requirements, there was also a lot to do. There was no harm in making more and giving away more.

Mr. Xian Yun licked his face again. “By the way, the incense I used today has the wonderful effect of reducing heat, removing troubles, and increasing concentration. I’m old and have too much heat in my body. I have to get more.”

She had seen thick-skinned people, but she had never seen anyone who was shameless or asked for something. She had never seen someone who took the initiative to ask for something from their master.

In her eyes, the so-called virtuous people were at least as lofty as Mr. Hu Shan.

But!

This guest was something else. Yu Youyao took a deep breath. “Sure!”

Mr. Xian Yun’s eyes darted around and he leaned closer to Yu Youyao. “Little Yu, I see the black incense beads on your cousin’s wrist. The beads are strong and fragrant. These are medicinal fragrance beads, right? I’ve traveled everywhere, but I’ve never seen such unique medicinal beads. How many are there? Why don’t you give me a few too? One or two will do…”

Yu Youyou took a deep breath. Was this old man done…

But!

Before Yu Youyao could flare up, Zhou Linghuai’s expression darkened. “Enough is enough!”

The famous Mr. Xian Yun immediately became obedient, but he was still a little indignant. “It’s because I think that it’s rare for your cousin to be so smart in the world. I think that your food and clothes are all rare goods.”

Good things were easy to obtain in this world.

It was rare for her to have a heart of wisdom. She used it everywhere, and ordinary things became extraordinary.

It was no wonder that the surly and arrogant Yin Huaixi or Young Master Yin was willing to be trapped in the back residence of the Yu Residence. Even though his identities were about to be revealed, he was unwilling to leave. He continued to use the identity of “Zhou Linghuai” to live in the Yu Residence and place his “little cousin” at the top of his heart.

The words “intelligent mind” finally pleased Zhou Linghuai.

Zhou Linghuai glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything else.

Yu Youyao personally went to prepare a gift in return.

After drafting the gift list, she went to An Shou Hall to show it to Old Madam Yu.

Old Madam Yu nodded and said, “Mr. Xian Yun visited the Yu Residence and brought along the Four Books of Annotations that he had written. This gift has to be more dignified. We can’t neglect him.”

Mr. Xian Yun had entered the residence with sincerity. To the Yu Residence, which had a scholarly reputation and had an official, the significance of this gift was very important.

Yu Youyao already had an idea about this. “Mr. Xian Yun likes stones and I have a Bahrain steatite in my hand. It’s white and transparent. The red clouds seeping out of the stone are endlessly changing, like the rising sun gushing out and the red clouds filling the sky. It’s also rare.”
