Chapter 91: Cousin, You Can’t Be Polite With Me

At this point, Mr. Xian Yun felt helpless. “Forget it, forget it. I still have to stay in You Zhou for three days. Why don’t you consider it carefully for another three days before answering me?”

Zhou Linghuai felt that he had won back the favor and was in a good mood, so he shook his head. “It won’t affect your grand plan to take in a disciple.”

After staring at the longevity peach blossom stone in his hand for a long time, Zhou Linghuai recalled Mr. Xian Yun’s words, “The roots of the mountain are damaged,” and “A dragon trapped in a shallow pool will be mocked by shrimp.” However, he glanced at his legs and realized that they were indeed the right place. He pursed his lips slightly and calmed himself down, holding the Kunwu Knife and cutting the stone.

He cut it extremely slowly and accurately, revealing a rare sense of caution.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. “Cousin, can I come in?”

The little girl deliberately lowered her voice, making it sound gentle, for fear of disturbing him.

The Kunwu Knife in Zhou Linghuai’s hand paused for a moment. Then, he placed the peach blossom frozen stone back into the box and put away the carving tools one by one. “Come in!”

The door was pushed open with a creak. The little girl ran innocently in her apricot-red top and pink dress. “Cousin, did I disturb you?”

Zhou Linghuai’s brows relaxed, but he shook his head. “I happen to be free!”

How were you free? Didn’t she want to carve a seal just now? Chang An’s mouth twitched, and an idea popped into his mind. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes and look at Yu Youyao in shock—

Young Master suddenly wanted to carve a seal—

Could it be…

He was probably thinking the same thing!

At this moment, no one was paying attention to him. Yu Youyao had already sat down beside her cousin and said happily, “Cousin, the residence has invited Manager Sun from the Jinxiu Manor over to tailor-make clothes for everyone. Quickly give me your measurements. I’ll get Manager Sun to make a few sets for you too.”

Zhou Linghuai subconsciously wanted to refuse. “No need…”

Yu Youyao interrupted him. “Grandfather sends some fashionable materials over every season. I have a lot of materials in my box, but I can’t use them all. Some of the materials are outdated after being stored for a long time, and it’s not easy to make clothes out of them. Every year, I have to send out a lot just to give them to others. Cousin, you can’t be polite with me.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “In that case, we’ll do as you say. As for the size…”

Just as he was about to ask Chang An, Yu Youyao quickly added, “Cousin, you don’t know your own size, so just give me one of your ordinary clothes and let Manager Sun take a look. She’ll understand in no time.”

Zhou Linghuai turned to look at Chang An and instructed, “Go to my room and get me a set of clothes.”

Chang An was puzzled when he heard this. He knew the size of Young Master’s clothes. He could have just asked him, so why did he still need to get his clothes? However, since Young Master had already spoken, he could only obey.

Yu Youyao thought for a moment but was still worried. “I see that the clothes you usually wear are a little old. They’re an old style. How long has it been since you last made clothes?”

Zhou Linghuai did not say anything. Chang An was the one who took care of his daily life, so he knew these things best.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had wanted to ask Chang An about the size of his clothes. Why had he asked Chang An to get his clothes?

Fine, he had been brought into a ditch by a young lady.

Yu Youyao frowned. “I see that Cousin’s health has improved a lot recently. He must have grown a lot. I wonder if the size of his previous clothes is suitable. Why don’t I measure him again?”

Zhou Linghuai almost choked on the tea he had just drunk. Just as he was about to refuse—

Without further ado, Yu Youyao walked up behind him. “Cousin, raise your hands.”

Now, it was impossible to refuse even if he wanted to. Zhou Linghuai looked helpless. He could only put down his teacup and raise his hands accordingly. He tilted his head and saw the little girl’s slender fingers measuring from his wrist to his shoulder. She looked very focused.

After measuring, Zhou Linghuai heaved a sigh of relief, but the little girl did not stop. She suddenly leaned towards him and said, “Cousin, raise your arm. I’ll measure your waist.”

After saying that, she really wanted to measure it. She did not think about those dogmatic rules about men and women being wary of each other.

She usually saw her second sister and second brother joking around and being very close. In front of her cousin, she could do whatever she wanted. Her cousin was very tolerant of her.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly held her hand. “Chang An is here. Just ask him.”

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. When she saw that her cousin’s hand was wrapped around hers, she couldn’t help but think, ‘Cousin’s hand is really big and beautiful!’

The little girl’s hand felt like cream in his palm, and it was smooth. Zhou Linghuai was also stunned. When he reacted, he felt as if his hand had been burned, and he suddenly let go.

However, her hands, which were hanging by her sides, suddenly trembled. For a moment, she did not know where to put them. She kept feeling that there was still a warm and soft touch in her palm.

Zhou Linghuai glanced at the cute and sweet little girl in front of him. She would only turn ten next month, and was still a child.

Yu Youyao hit her head lightly, feeling a little vexed. “Seriously, how could I have forgotten about Chang An? Chang An is Cousin’s personal servant. He knows best about Cousin’s matters.”

Chang An, who had just walked to the study with his clothes, couldn’t help but complain in his heart when he heard this.

Every time you see Young Master, you only see him. I’m invisible in front of you. Even if I stand in front of you, you won’t see me.

Yu Youyao looked out the door. As soon as she saw Chang An, she asked, “Chang An, quickly give me Cousin’s measurements.”

Chang An glanced at the clothes in his arms and was speechless for a moment.

Fine, he had taken the clothes for nothing.

He even suspected that Eldest Miss Yu had deliberately sent him away to be alone with Young Master.

Under the young master’s cold gaze, Chang An reported a few measurements.

Yu Youyao happily noted it down. She turned around and threw Chang An to the back of her mind. She held onto her cousin’s arm. “Cousin, what color do you like? I see that you usually wear light green and dark green. No matter how you change, it’s always green. Why don’t you make two blue ones? Cousin, you’re good-looking. You’ll definitely look good in blue. Also, black and white aren’t bad either…”

Zhou Linghuai smiled. “Then let Cousin arrange it!”

Hearing this, Yu Youyao was happier than anything else.

At this moment, Uncle Sun staggered in. “Young Master, there’s still one last ingredient missing from the Essence Protection Pill. It’s a very rare and unique insect. It feeds on precious herbs like ginseng, lingzhi, insects, and summer grass, and it excretes something that looks like oil. This thing is compatible with the medicinal properties of all kinds of precious herbs. It’s a great supplement, but it doesn’t have any side effects. I heard that Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty had once obtained this insect’s excretory substance and refined a special medicine that could nourish the body. It had once saved his life when he was in danger.”
