All Hail Cousin Brother-Chapter 156 - 156 Prince You

156 Prince You

Hence, Yu Youyao nodded. “Cousin isn’t in good health. You’re all old servants of the Zhou family, so you must know that in the future, when you enter the Green House, you have to take good care of him like before.”

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with her words, but anyone who heard her would understand immediately. Eldest Miss Yu meant that although they had entered the Yu Residence and gone through the Yu Residence’s connections, they still had to prioritize the young master of the Green House like before.

Nanny Lu’s eyes moved slightly. She bowed and said, “I understand. Eldest Miss, don’t worry.”

Yu Youyao looked at the other three people. They were also in their thirties or forties, and she knew where they came from. After flipping through the book, she knew that these people were the most capable people in the Zhou family in the past.

Yu Youyao was very satisfied. She got someone to wrap up the reward money, and the broker carried it out of the Yu Residence with a smile.

Yu Youyao led Nanny Lu and the others to An Shou Hall to visit Old Madam Yu.

Old Madam Yu flipped through the book and also opened her mouth to speak to Nanny Lu. It seemed to be a casual conversation, but it was all related to Old Madam Zhou.

After about ten minutes, Old Madam Yu was tired. She looked at Yu Youyao. “Let’s go to the Green House to arrange things.”

Zhou Linghuai’s health wasn’t good, so even though they were old servants of the Zhou family, they naturally had to be more thorough when caring for him. He had just asked Nanny Lu a few questions, and there was basically no problem.

After hearing her grandmother’s words, Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief. “I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ve made some Eight Treasures Porridge for you. It’s good for calming you down.”

There were countless times like this when it came to cooking.

Yu Youyao did not like or dislike cooking. She had the kitchen staff to help her with some of the chores. She did not have to care about anything else. It did not take much effort. Occasionally, she would personally cook some food to show filial piety to her grandmother. She was very happy to please her grandmother.

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she smiled. “You’re a girl. Don’t always go into the kitchen. Be careful not to hurt yourself.”

Yu Youyao held her grandmother’s arm and said coquettishly, “It’s not every day. I just heard from Nanny Liu that the weather has been a little hot recently, so your appetite isn’t very good, so I made light and nourishing porridge. It’s good for digestion, easy to swallow, and will make you feel comfortable. Grandmother, you have to take good care of yourself.”

Her thoughtful words made Old Madam Yu hug her granddaughter tightly. “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you.”

When Yu Youyao led the Zhou family’s old servant out, Old Madam Yu’s smile had yet to fade. “Yao Yao, you’re getting more and more thorough in your work. Linghuai’s health isn’t good because he’s been ill since he was young. After his leg was damaged, his body was also damaged. The old servants of the Zhou family are used to serving him in the past, so it’s more appropriate for them to be used. However, they’re outsiders after all. How can the residence be at ease if they enter the residence for no reason? After a few days of training at the brokerage house and going through the residence’s connections, they’ll be able to communicate appropriately. With the brokerage house as a guarantor, these people’s backgrounds will be verified. They don’t have to be afraid of being fooled and causing trouble for the family.” ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

When Nanny Liu heard this, she smiled and said, “Eldest Miss is becoming more and more like you. What’s even rarer is that Eldest Miss is filial to you.”

Old Madam Yu’s face broke into a smile again.

Since Yu Youyao was going to the Green House, she asked Xia Tao to go back and get the medicinal oil.

Zhou Linghuai was fanning himself in the study.

It wasn’t easy to make a small fan. Just thinning it was difficult. After that, it was time to paint, engrave, color, and so on. Every step was very complicated.

Of course, it would only take a few hours to make an ordinary fan with oil paper. However, the things that Zhou Linghuai had given the little girl had to be handled well, so it was naturally even more difficult.

It took Zhou Linghuai six to seven days to finish it.

The surface of the brownish-yellow wood was smooth to begin with, and its color was like honey. After applying a few layers of paint, it looked even more like honey, and was as warm as honey.

The fan bones were as thin as leaves. On one side, there was a carving of a green tree, and the other side was embossed with apricot flowers. On the leaves of the fan that were as thin as real leaves, there were flowers and leaves. If the knife was too heavy and pierced through the fan bones, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Even Chang An, who had followed Young Master for so long, had never seen him so concerned about such things.

Unfortunately, the paint was too thin, and the color was still not bright enough because they were in a hurry. It would take at most a year or so to finish.

However, the sandalwood fan was fresh.

If it wasn’t fresh after a few days, he could just change it out. It wouldn’t take more than a year. In the future, he would just make some other styles for her cousin to play with.

Zhou Linghuai looked at the finished sandalwood fan and a smile appeared on his lips. At this moment, Chang Anshou arrived. “Young Miss has brought a few… old servants over. They’re waiting for you in the living room.”

Zhou Linghuai placed the folding fan into a wooden box and left the study.

In the living room, Yu Youyao drank her tea and asked Nanny Lu about her cousin’s past in Youzhou.

Nanny Lu knew a lot about her cousin, but when she spoke, she was cautious. “Young Master can recite at the age of three, and read at the age of seven. At the age of nine, he’s already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. However, Young Master’s health hasn’t been good since he was young, but he lives in seclusion and rarely goes out. I’ve only heard of the talents of Prince You outside, but I didn’t know that Young Master was also unique.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Youyao felt strange. The friend that her cousin had mentioned previously seemed to be the same as her cousin. Wasn’t it too much of a coincidence?

However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she was thinking too much.

After spending so much time together, Yu Youyao also knew that her cousin was indeed the most talented person in the world. However, he was weak by nature and people did not take her talented cousin seriously.

Probably only someone with the same talent as him was worthy of his attention.

However, she was drawn to the words “Prince You.”

As she spoke, Yu Youyao heard the sound of wheels rolling. Chang An had pushed her cousin into the room. “Cousin, I’ve brought over all the old servants of the Zhou family.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded and glanced at the four people standing in the hall. His expression was indifferent. “Get Chang An to help you make arrangements.”

The few of them agreed and asked Chang An to bring them out.

The scene of the old servants meeting him in her mind did not appear. Yu Youyao pursed her lips.

Just now, she had clearly seen that when Nanny Lu saw her cousin, there was a hint of excitement on her stern face, but her cousin did not seem to have any reaction.

Zhou Linghuai gently rubbed the top of the little girl’s head. “What’s wrong?”

Yu Youyao shook her head. “I just feel happy. In the future, I’ll be more at ease if Cousin has someone suitable to take care of him.”

Zhou Linghuai laughed when he heard that.

Yu Youyao took the box from the table and handed it to her cousin. “Previously, the medicinal oil was added with dried ginger and pepper. It was hot when you rubbed it on your legs. Now that the weather is hot, it’s not appropriate to use it. I’ve made a new medicinal oil for you. The effect is the same as before. It’s just that I’ve added borneol and mint. It’s more refreshing. Although your bones are no longer painful, your legs still have to heal carefully.”
