All Hail Cousin Brother

Chang An, on the other hand, was even more worried. He couldn’t help but say, “Young Master, your health isn’t good. Even if you’re helping Eldest Miss with her homework, you have to take care of your health. Don’t tire yourself out.” Worried that his young master wouldn’t listen to his advice, he thought for a moment and said, “It wasn’t easy for Eldest Miss to come up with a prescription for you to nourish your vitality. I also hope that Young Master can take care of your health. You can’t let her down.”

During this period of time, Uncle Sun had been locked in his room every day to study the Essence Protection Pill. He had also ordered people to look around for all kinds of rare and precious herbs needed for the prescription. Clearly, this prescription was extremely important to Young Master.

Zhou Linghuai’s expression darkened. “Got it,” he said calmly.

Chang An was stunned for a moment, his mouth agape.

Young Master had big ideas. As servants, they could only follow his orders. He was usually worried about Young Master’s health, so he was used to nagging and persuading him from time to time. He only hoped to warn Young Master often, but did not think he would really listen.

Therefore, when she heard her young master say “Got it”, she was completely stunned.

At this moment, Yu Youyao carried a medium-sized porcelain jar and rushed back to the living room. She stuffed the jar into her cousin’s hands. “Cousin, this is the medicinal tea that I learned from Nanny Xu. It’s a secret recipe from the palace. Just treat it as ordinary tea. Remember to drink it every day. If you finish it, get Chang An to come and get it. It’ll only take some medicinal herbs. It’ll be easy for me to make it too.”

She had soaked the herbs used in the medicinal tea with water and mixed them with spirit dew, so the effect was better. She had originally planned to give some to her grandmother and leave some for herself to drink. However, at this moment, she felt that this medicinal tea was probably very beneficial to her cousin’s health, so she wanted to give him some. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Looking down at the lotus patterns on the blue and white porcelain, Zhou Linghuai chuckled. “Okay.”

Chang An pushed Zhou Linghuai to school.

Mr. Hu Shan taught the scholars, but only nine-year-old boys were in the residence.

Therefore, there were only four students in the school. Other than Yu Shanyan, Yu Shanxin, and Zhou Linghuai, there was also Yu Shanli, the illegitimate son of the second house.

Mr. Hu Shan had limited energy, so it was fine if he taught one or two of them, but if he taught too many, he wouldn’t be able to take it anymore. Therefore, he mainly focused on Yu Shanyan, who was the most talented in the Education Residence. The others just followed suit.

Although Zhou Linghuai was also talented and Mr. Hu Shan wanted to nurture him, his legs were weak and he couldn’t take up a position, which made Mr. Hu Shan feel sorry for him. Although he wasn’t as hardworking as Yu Shanyan, he was still more attentive than Yu Shanxin and Yu Shanli.

In the school, there was a room specially prepared for them to rest.

There was still a while before class started.

Zhou Linghuai sat in front of the tea table and took some water from the clay pot. He poured it into the sand pot and added some coal pieces the size of longans into the small charcoal stove.

When the charcoal was burnt, it emitted a faint wooden fragrance that smelled very good.

Every day, before the sun rose, the water in the clay pot was taken from the mountains outside the city. It was the highest point of the city and had the best water quality. However, it had a different taste when used to make tea.

Not long after, the water in the pot started to boil. Zhou Linghuai took the medicinal tea that Yu Youyao had given him, picked up some tea leaves with a teacup, and placed them into the purple clay pot.

The tea foam rose and fell with the boiling water. The faint medicinal fragrance mixed with the fresh smell of tea and an elegant lotus fragrance filled the room.

Even Chang An couldn’t help but sniffle and praise, “Good tea. My Cousin is really amazing.”

There was a trace of a smile on Zhou Linghuai’s lips. While the fragrance of the tea was still lingering, he had used a funnel to filter out the tea leaves. Under the small charcoal stove, the longan-sized charcoal was almost burned out. The remaining charcoal could be used to warm the tea. It was obvious that the temperature of this pot of tea had been perfectly controlled.

Zhou Linghuai picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

The tea was bright yellow and clear. The fragrance of the tea lingered.

He picked up his tea and lowered his head to take a small sip.

After swallowing the slightly bitter tea, not long after, there was some sweetness in his mouth. Then, he tasted it carefully. It was refreshing and comfortable.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhou Linghuai felt all the fatigue in his body disappear, and he felt much more energetic.

Young Master’s change naturally did not escape Chang An’s eyes. He also understood that Eldest Miss Yu had probably noticed that Young Master was a little tired, so she had specially sent him some medicinal tea.

Zhou Linghuai held the teacup and smelled the familiar fragrance of the tea. A thoughtful expression appeared on his jade-like face.

The medicinal tea was a little similar to food, but the effect seemed to be better.

… .

After her cousin left, Yu Youyao hugged her book and started to feel sleepy after reading a few pages. She forced herself to stay awake, and her eyelids kept drooping.

Nanny Xu removed the book from her hand and placed it aside. “You woke up a little early this morning. Hurry up and go into the house to sleep and recuperate. It’s springtime in February and March, and you are at the age where you have to sleep to grow. You can’t lose sleep.”

Yu Youyao nodded and yawned as she returned to her room for an afternoon nap.

After sleeping for an hour, Yu Youyao woke up.

Dong Mei added some refreshing incense slices into the incense burner and asked Qiu Xing to bring a cup of refreshing tea. Yu Youyao drank it before getting Chun Xiao to help her wash up.

At this moment, Xia Tao lifted the curtain and entered. She approached Yu Youyao with a smile. “I just heard that Fourth Miss had asked Ms. Ye to hit her 20 times in school. Both her hands are swollen, and it’s much more serious than Miss’s. She probably won’t be able to use her hands for a few days.”

Yu Youyao was not surprised. “Since Ms. Ye punished Yu Qingning, she won’t hold it against her anymore. In the future, Yu Qingning can continue to study at home and learn from Ms. Ye.”

Yu Qingning had made a mistake in the first place and refused to be taught a lesson. She had also contradicted her teacher. To put it bluntly, she did not know how to respect her teacher and was rebellious. She did not know the rules and had no upbringing. No matter what, it was a serious matter.

Which family in the capital did not specially keep an eye on other families? Who could hide anything from them

If word got out that Ms. Ye was unwilling to teach Yu Qingning, Yu Qingning’s reputation would be damaged and she would probably be finished for the rest of her life. Even the other young misses in the Yu Residence would be affected and have to be taught a lesson.

No matter how angry Ms. Ye was with Yu Qingning, she wouldn’t easily ruin a girl’s future. She had to take into account the Yu Residence’s reputation. Moreover, Yu Qingning was still young, so it wasn’t appropriate for Ms. Ye to make things difficult for a young lady. It was expected that she would forgive Yu Qingning. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Xia Tao smiled and said, “Isn’t that so? Ms. Ye asked Fourth Miss to study at home after her hands recovered. She even punished her to copy the ‘Three Principles and Five Rules’ a hundred times.”
