Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 12: ：Cousin Zhou Linghuai

Patting her granddaughter's hand, Mrs. Yu looked at the young man in the hall indifferently.

The young man raised his head again and said respectfully: "My great-nephew is the son of the Zhou family in Youzhou. His father named him Linghuai, with the courtesy name Jingzhi. I have met my great-aunt. Because my legs and feet are not flexible, I ask my great-aunt to forgive me if I am rude." ."

After speaking, he handed the palm-sized ebony box placed on his knees to Aunt Liu who was standing beside him.

Nanny Liu took it and turned around and gave it to Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu caressed the peonies embossed with gold and jade on the box, her expression full of nostalgia: "This box was the gift I gave to Miaofu when she married in Youzhou. I didn't expect it to be like this. After all these years, she still has it."

The atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn, and everyone else was also feeling sad.

Yu Miaofu is Mr. Yu’s biological sister. Mrs. Yu had a good relationship with this sister-in-law when she was in her boudoir.

Later Yu Miaofu married far away to command the Youzhou Guards.

Youzhou is a little far away from Jingzhao. After Yu Miaofu got married, she returned to her parents' home less than five times apart. Although the two families have always maintained contact, the relationship will inevitably become estranged as time goes by.

Thinking about the past, Mrs. Yu’s eyes were a little moist. She pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes: "The last time I saw her was more than thirty years ago. I didn’t expect this farewell to be..." Heaven and man are separated forever!

Three years ago, Beidi invaded the Northern Territory and King You failed to defend it. As a result, the Northern Territory lost three cities in a row and caused numerous casualties among the people.

Later, the court found out that Prince You was greedy for Mojun, colluded with Beidi, and planned to rebel. The emperor was furious, Prince You's house was ransacked and his entire family was exterminated. Officials in Youzhou killed many and exiled others.

The Zhou family was demoted from official positions, and their relatives and friends were shunned like snakes and scorpions. Soon, only Yu Miaofu and Zhou Linghuai, the grandson and grandson, were left in the family.

Not long ago, even Yu Miaofu passed away.

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

Old Madam Yu opened the box, and there was a letter inside, as well as a thumb-sized bloodstone seal. It was as bright red as chicken blood, exquisite and elegant in shape.

The seal has the character "Yu" engraved on it. When the bottom of the seal is opened, there is light red ink pad with the character "Miao" engraved on it.

It is Yu Miaofu's private seal.

This is Yu Miaofu’s father. Mr. Yu gave it to her when she got married. His daughter was getting married far away, and the father was worried about his daughter’s future. When he carved the seal with his own hands, he also carved the Yu family’s love for Yu Miaofu. .

After being stunned for a long time, Mrs. Yu sighed quietly and closed the box without even reading the letter: "Miaofu has been really suffering these years."

The Zhou family was demoted from official positions and was not jailed, beheaded, or exiled. This was also the best result of the Yu family's mediation.

Even so, Yu Miaofu's life in Youzhou was also very difficult.

But the emperor was not at ease with Youzhou. Even if the Yu family wanted to help, they could not do anything. As a result, they had completely lost contact with Yu Miaofu in the past three years, and the situation with Yu Miaofu was not clear at all.

It was yesterday that the concierge received a letter of greeting from Zhou Linghuai. The family sent people to the inn to inquire. Only then did they find out that Yu Miaofu passed away due to illness a few months ago. He went to Beijing to join the Yu family.

Then the entire Yu family gathered together, waiting for Zhou Linghuai to visit.

Fortunately, three years have passed since this incident, and the situation in Youzhou has become more stable. An orphan with limited legs and feet does not hinder anything.

The sadness on Mrs. Yu’s face did not seem to be fake. Zhou Linghuai lowered his head and said, "Grandma passed away peacefully, so there is no need to worry about grandma."

With a balance in mind, Mrs. Yu said to Zhou Linghuai: "You can live in the Yu family with peace of mind."

Zhou Linghuai whispered: "Thank you, great-aunt."

Seeing that he was calm and calm, his posture was graceful, he was neither humble nor arrogant in his speech, he was polite when he advanced or retreated, and he had an innate dignity, Mrs. Yu became more sincere towards Zhou Linghuai.

Next, Aunt Liu led Zhou Linghuai to recognize the people, and Zhou Linghuai greeted them respectfully. As elders, Yu Zongzheng and others inevitably had to say a few words of welcome and encouragement.

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

Finally, the elders finished recognizing each other, and it was the turn of the peers.

Nanny Liu raised her head and looked in the direction of Yu Youyao: "This is the eldest sister in the mansion. Her name is Youyao, and her nickname is Yaoyao. She is nine years old this year and her biological mother is the Xie family of Quanzhou Prefecture."

Yu Youyao, who was covering her small mouth and yawning, stood up from the couch in a hurry, touched the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, she didn't drool.

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

The little girl in front of me is a bit chubby, but she has a well-proportioned figure, and is round and delicate. She has a delicate and cute little round face, a hidden beauty between her brows, and a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes that are neither too big nor too small, like a phoenix tail slightly raised. , There seems to be smoke in the eyes, there seems to be emotion in the eyes, there seems to be happiness but also anger than peach blossoms.

This is already a natural beauty, and the beauty is first revealed.

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

The little girl tilted her little head and smiled happily~IndoMTL.com~The smile was clean and clear. Zhou Linghuai handed out the gift he had prepared: "I have nothing, I can only talk with the calligraphy written by my own hands." I express my sincere feelings and hope that my cousin will not dislike you."

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

Old Madam Yu next to her could not help but look at her.

On the pure white raw rice paper, there are rows of small characters in regular script, like clouds and flowing water, with fibers emerging from the grain. The wind and bones are scattered, the muscles and bones are natural, and they are strong and graceful, and their movements are strong and graceful.

With just such a handwriting, he can be called an amazing talent. He must be a good reader.

What is written above is the "Medicine Master Sutra". If the elders in the family worship Buddha, it is right to give them a copy of the sutra.

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

It can be seen from this that he not only has amazing talents, but also has a meticulous city.

It is a pity that people with physical disabilities cannot join the officialdom. Mrs. Yu glanced at his legs and felt a pity in her heart.

Yu Youyao saw that one of the verses looked very familiar, and couldn't help but recite on the spot: "May my body be like glass, clear inside and outside, pure and flawless, bright and vast, with towering merits, a good and peaceful body, and a net of flames as solemn as the sun. In the moon, all living beings in the Netherworld are enlightened and 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 raise his eyes to glance at the little girl, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"My cousin's handwriting is so beautiful," Yu Youyao couldn't put it down, holding the copybook. Even if she didn't know calligraphy, she could still tell that the handwriting was beautiful. She couldn't help but think of the words she had written that were like a dog. Her young face turned red: "I'll find someone to frame it and hang it in the room tomorrow."
