Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 13: : Cousin, does your leg still hurt?
Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes and said, "My cousin is so complimentary."
Yu Youyao solemnly put away the copybook and handed it to Chunxiao who was standing aside: "Cousin, please stop being modest. I wish my handwriting were half as good as my cousin's."
Zhou Linghuai was speechless for a moment. Looking at the little girl's round face, his fingers felt inexplicably itchy.
On the other hand, when Mrs. Yu saw her granddaughter's face full of envy and shame, she couldn't help joking: "If I want to compare with your cousin, I'll write my handwriting straight first. I've never seen such a big girl's family with bad handwriting." Like a dog crawling."
Yu Youyonen’s face turned red and she couldn’t help but stamp her foot. She was angry and annoyed: “Grandma, you are laughing at me. My cousin is still here. Don’t I want to lose face?”
Mrs. Yu couldn't help laughing "haha".
Everyone else in the room also covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and smiled. No wonder the old lady preferred the eldest lady. Who wouldn’t like this colorful dress to entertain the bride?
Even Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, a little curious about how ugly this little cousin's handwriting was.
However, after this incident, the polite atmosphere in the room became much more lively.
Then, Zhou Linghuai presented Yu Shuangbai with a gift, and also gave him a copybook written by himself. Yu Shuangbai accepted it happily, but because he was not interested in the copybook, he gave it to the maid.
Then it was Yu Jianjia’s turn.
After the two of them greeted each other, Yu Jianjia glanced at Zhou Linghuai's legs with a hidden look, then accepted the gift with a smile: "Thank you, cousin."
Zhou Linghuai nodded lightly, turned around and continued to recognize people.
The room was peaceful.
Yu Zongzheng patted him on the shoulder and asked: "What's wrong with your legs?"
Old Madam Yu frowned, and the eldest son kept saying that Yao Yao didn't know the importance. He was already in his thirties or forties, and he didn't see any progress.
Zhou Linghuai just came to visit today, and he poked her heart in front of everyone in the family, without even considering the occasion and timing.
When will I ask if I will live in Yu’s house in the future?
He does things so straightforwardly and doesn't know how to hide it, which makes people feel unhappy.
The Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulated that officials should not be punished for giving advice. With his temper, he can only stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Yu Zongshen also meant the same thing. He smiled and changed the subject: "Ling Huai went all the way from Youzhou to Beijing. It was a tiring journey, so he had better make arrangements carefully first."
Yu Zongzheng realized that he had made a mistake and was a little embarrassed.
"There's nothing bad to say." Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but tighten his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair. Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Three years ago, when I was playing with my friends, I accidentally fell and was trampled by the horse. Broken leg."
An understatement that seems to only state the facts.
But no one here is stupid.
Three years ago, the Zhou family had a relationship with the King of Youzhou, causing a big deal. The Zhou family was demoted and lost its power. Since ancient times, there have been walls toppled by thousands of people, drums broken and beaten by thousands of people, Zhou Linghuai is this It's not an accident if the legs are pointed.
Obviously this is a painful past.
The room was quiet for a moment.
At this moment, Yu Youyao squatted next to Zhou Linghuai, raised her neck slightly and looked at him, with a calm mind: "Cousin's leg still hurts?"
Zhou Linghuai was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Don't be sad, cousin," Yu Youyao didn't know how to comfort her cousin for a moment. She frowned and thought for a while before saying, "What's that called?"
Her little face wrinkled, looking a little troubled, and she tapped her head with her little fist. For the first time, she felt the meaning of "a good book will be used only when it is needed": "Anyway, it is a big task. For such people, they must first strain their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body and skin, and deplete their body. What kind of endurance can be messed up by walking, once, once..."
Yu Youyao held it in for a long time, but she didn't even fart out, but her little face turned red from holding it in.
Old Madam Yu laughed so hard that she fell down.
Others in the room also laughed. The eldest lady has been studying at home for three years, and it seems that all she has learned is in vain.
Only Yu Zongzheng had an old face and felt that this daughter was ignorant and incompetent, which was a disgrace. Just when he was about to open his mouth to scold him, he heard a hoarse voice: "Xing Fu messed up what he did, so Tempting one's mind and forbearance can benefit what one cannot do, from Mencius's "Born in sorrow, died in peace and happiness"."
It was Zhou Linghuai’s voice.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it," Yu Youyao's eyes lit up, and she looked at her cousin with shining eyes, revealing admiration: "My cousin writes well and even reads books better than others. You are so awesome."
A girl's innocent words are clear and magnanimous, just as the "Medicine Master" says: "The body is like glass, clear inside and outside, pure and flawless."
Zhou Linghuai said: "Thank you very much, cousin."
With Yu Youyao's commotion, the embarrassment in the room was almost gone.
When Zhou Ling got pregnant in Beijing, he took with him a young boy named Chang'an and an old servant, Uncle Sun, who was said to have some medical skills and was guarding the inn looking at the luggage.
Steward Wu found a few handy boys and went to the inn where Zhou Linghuai was staying to check out and move his luggage.
Nanny Liu took Zhou Linghuai to Fuyuan Pavilion for resettlement. ~IndoMTL.com~Grandma, I’ll go over and have a look too. " Without waiting for Mrs. Yu's consent, Yu Youyao had already jumped after her.
Old Madam Yu shook her head and did not stop her.
After such an illness, this girl is much better behaved than before. She has not messed around for a few days. She really seems to have grown up, but her lively temperament has not changed.
The Furui Pavilion was the courtyard where Yu Miaofu lived in the past. After Yu Miaofu got married, the courtyard had been vacant because there were not many people in the mansion. Yesterday, after Zhou Linghuai’s greeting card was delivered to her door, Mrs. Yu ordered people to tidy it up. .
Yu Youyao raised her little head, looked at the plaque on the door, and twisted her eyebrows: "Mommy, my cousin is a man. The name of Fuli Pavilion is not good, so we need to change it."
Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect this sudden change: "I was negligent. What name did the young master want to change? The old slave ordered someone to change the plaque."
Zhou Linghuai's thoughts moved slightly, and he turned to look at the thoughtful little cousin beside him: "What do you think, cousin?"
Yu Youyao didn't know how to be polite at all, and looked eager to try: "My cousin is wearing blue clothes today, why not call it Qingyuyuan!"
Mama Liu twitched her mouth, the young lady chose her name so casually.
"Cousin, cousin, let's call it Qingqiyuan." The little girl thought this name sounded good, so she pulled Zhou Linghuai's sleeve and shook it lightly, with expectation on her little face.
Zhou Linghuai has always disliked contact with others. Just when he was about to pull back his sleeves calmly, he saw the little girl's round white fingers gently twisting the corner of the sleeve, showing an air of caution. He didn't know what was going on, but his arms became stiff. After a moment, he nodded and said: "Then let's call it Qingyuyuan. Thank you very much, cousin."
But Zhou Linghuai forgot that there is a word in this world called pushing beyond the limit.
