341 Not As Impressive As My Cousin

When Chang An heard this, he quickly said, “There’s still medicinal cuisine in the small kitchen. I’ll bring a bowl over for Young Master. You can draw it after you take it.” Seeing that Young Master’s expression was getting darker and darker, he quickly added, “Just now, Young Miss ordered someone to send it over. It promotes blood circulation. She said that Young Master has a leg problem and should eat more nourishing food.”

Zhou Linghuai’s expression relaxed. “Bring it over!”

Chang An felt as if he had been pardoned and fled from the study. Fortunately, he was smart enough to mention Young Miss. Otherwise—

His life would be over!

Zhou Linghuai put down his brush and recalled the yearning and longing expression on the little girl’s face when she mentioned the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival this morning. He couldn’t help but purse his lips.

The next day, Yu Youyao got up at dawn. She washed up briefly and went to the small kitchen.

The small kitchen in the Jade Courtyard made medicinal cuisine every day, so Yu Youyao created a small pharmacy with a lot of medicinal herbs that she usually needed.

Yu Youyao picked out China root, white lentils, lotus seed flesh, barley rice, Chinese yam, congee, ginseng, dangshen, and so on. She washed them clean, crushed them into powder, added rice flour, white sugar, and so on. She added spiritual dew. After kneading them, she made small pieces of Eight Treasures Cake and steamed them in a pot.

Eight Treasures Cake sounded simple, but making it was not simple at all.

It took Yu Youyao an hour to make a pot.

She instructed Madam Zhao to take good care of the fire. “After it’s steamed, send a plate to An Shou Hall. There’s ginseng in the Eight Treasures Cake. It’s a great supplement. Grandmother can only eat one piece at a time, two pieces a day at most. It’s best if it’s once every three days.”

After returning to the house, Yu Youyao learned etiquette from Nanny Xu and washed up again. Then, the servants prepared breakfast.

After Yu Youyao ate, she thought about the heavy rain that had fallen the entire night yesterday. “There might be bamboo juice in the bamboo forest. Hurry up and prepare. Let’s go chisel the bamboo and get the sap. bamboo juice is a good thing. It can be used for medicine and tea…”

Chun Xiao quickly went down to prepare something.

“I’ll go find Cousin.” Yu Youyao picked up her skirt and ran to the Green House.

Seeing that Yu Youyao had come over, Chang An was wondering if he should report it to Young Master.

Yesterday, Young Master had promised him that he would rest at 11pm. However, after sleeping for four hours at night, he got up at 3 to 5 am. and stayed up in the study for half the night!

However, before he could speak, Yu Youyao asked, “Is Cousin in the study?”

Chang An nodded and was about to talk about Young Master staying up late yesterday.

Yu Youyao ran away like the wind.

The little girl ran into the study excitedly. “Cousin, let’s go to the Xiaoxiang Forest to chisel bamboo and extract the juice. I’ll make you bamboo tea.”

The corners of Zhou Linghuai’s lips curled up slightly. He rolled up half of the painting and said, “Okay!”

Yu Youyao took three steps to the shelf beside the desk and took out a cloak. “It rained all night yesterday. It’s humid outside, so you need a cloak when you go out!” As she spoke, she circled behind her cousin and was about to help him put it on. “Cousin, reach out.”

“Thank you, Cousin.” Zhou Linghuai stretched out his arm and let the little girl help him put it on.

After putting on the cloak, Yu Youyao walked around to her cousin and tied the straps on the cloak. She tied a “gift” knot and tidied his clothes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Linghuai recalled the past. His father had combed his mother’s hair and eyebrows, and his mother had also dressed and trimmed his father’s hair.

“It’s done!” Yu Youyao looked at her cousin carefully. The black cloak was embroidered with crane patterns, making his aura look deep, n.o.ble, and poised. He looked like a royal descendant from nowhere, with an innate n.o.ble aura.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly came back to his senses and quietly tightened his grip on the armrest. “Then let’s go!”

“Wait.” Yu Youyao thought of something and quickly took a blanket that was draped over the chair. She squatted in front of her cousin and gently placed it on his lap. “It’s humid outside. Although Cousin’s leg condition has improved a little, you have to keep warm.”

Zhou Linghuai suddenly closed his eyes.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. “Cousin, what’s wrong? Does your leg hurt? Then, then you should rest well in The Green House. I’ll go get the bamboo juice alone. When I get it, it’ll be the same tea that I’m making for you.”

Zhou Linghuai slowly opened his eyes. The little girl was squatting in front of him, looking up at him with her jade-like neck. Her face was as fair as jade, and his figure was all she could see.

He suddenly approached and pressed his chin against the top of the little girl’s head. He closed his eyes and lowered his head, his pale lips landing on her hair.

The faint fragrance of lilies suddenly lingered in his nose, rushing into his heart and lungs.

After realizing what he had done, he suddenly retreated.

Yu Youyao was stunned. “Cousin, you…”

Zhou Linghuai’s gaze darkened as he interrupted her. “There are petals on your head.”

“Huh?” Yu Youyao felt that her cousin was a little strange.

Zhou Linghuai turned his wheelchair around. “Let’s go!”

“Oh, okay!” Yu Youyao was in a daze. She quickly stood up and followed behind her cousin. It was windy outside, so it was normal for petals to fall!

It had rained all night yesterday, so the limestone path was a little slippery. Yu Youyao was worried that it would be difficult to walk, so she called Chang An to push her cousin along.

At this moment, Chang An had already given up on complaining. Young Master was in a good mood. Even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to dampen his mood.

Chun Xiao had already prepared everything and brought a few old maids to wait at the Xiaoxiang Forest.

Yu Youyao tucked the blanket around her cousin’s legs. “Cousin, wait for me here. When you’re done, we’ll make tea together.”

Zhou Linghuai looked up at the Xiaoxiang Forest and turned to look at Chang An. “The bamboo forest is muddy and slippery. Be careful not to fall. Let Chang An accompany you.”

Yu Youyao was a little disgusted. “Alright then!”

It had rained all night, and the bamboo forest was wet.

“This area is made of light bamboo. Not only can water enter the mouth directly, but it can also be used to make tea. Chisel this side first.” Yu Youyao knocked on a few thick bamboo trees in a row, picked one, and instructed Chun Xiao to chisel the bamboo.

Chun Xiao took a chisel and cut open the bamboo. She cut the sharpened bamboo tube, but there was no bamboo juice flowing out. She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Chang An snorted and casually picked a bamboo. Without even using a chisel, he slapped the sharpened thin bamboo tube into the bamboo, and light red bamboo juice flowed out of the bamboo.

Yu Youyao was dumbfounded. “This is legendary martial arts?”

Chang An crossed his arms over his chest and looked smug. “Hmph, ignorant. I used my internal strength and hidden strength just now, so I don’t need any tools to directly penetrate the bamboo.”

Yu Youyao couldn’t bear to see him so smug. She pursed her lips. “What’s there to be smug about? You’re definitely not as impressive as my cousin.”

No matter how powerful he was, he still had to listen to my cousin, right?
