All Hail Cousin Brother

200 The Essence Protection Pill Is Done

Liu’er was unwilling to get up. “I have a lowly life. Eldest Miss, you have not abandoned me. From now on, I will serve you and be your servant. It’s my honor.” With that, she took out the cloth bag that she had been hugging to her chest and carefully opened it. Inside was a pair of meticulously made shoes. “I don’t have much to show. Only my skills in making shoes are good, so I made a pair for you.”

She handed over the shoes eagerly.

She could not repay Eldest Miss’s kindness, so she wanted to make a pair of shoes for her.

She had saved up this pair of shoes in the past and made it using a thousand layers. She had never been willing to use them, so this time, she took them out and inserted the soles one by one. It took her six to seven days to finish.

Yu Youyao was a little surprised. She noticed that the material used to make these shoes was the Song Jiang cloth that she had given to the servants in the residence previously.

!!

Although Song Jiang cloth was not as expensive as cloud silk, it was soft, delicate, close-fitting, and breathable. It was most suitable for making close-fitting clothes. The inner clothes that Yu Youyao usually wore were all made of Song Jiang cloth. contemporary romance

Liu’er was very skillful. Her light green Song Jiang cloth shoes were embroidered with pale yellow parasol flowers. They looked elegant and fresh, but they were very beautiful. Clearly, she had put in a lot of effort.

The soles of the shoes were not the usual jade soles of rich families. Instead, they were made of porcelain, wood, and leather. They looked like the soles of ordinary people.

Yu Youyao had never worn such shoes before, but she thought that although they were not expensive, they were made with more efort than ordinary shoes. She smiled and said, “Thank you.”

A smile appeared on Liu’er’s pale face. “If you don’t mind, I’ll boldly help you wear it. If it doesn’t suit you anymore, I can change it.”

Seeing that Liu’er was sincere, Yu Youyao couldn’t refuse, so she stuck her feet out of her skirt.

Liu’er knelt down and carefully removed Eldest Miss’s shoes. Then, she carefully put on the shoes she had made for her. She was agile and careful, and her hands did not touch her.

After putting on her shoes and stepping on the ground, Yu Youyao noticed the difference.

As if seeing Eldest Miss’s confusion, Liu’er explained, “My family has an ancestral shoe-making skill. It emphasizes on using a thousand layers of cotton cloth and a thousand hemp thread. Not only are the shoes made like this durable, but they’re also firm and soft. When worn on the feet, they are breathable and absorb sweat. You won’t sprain your ankles when walking. Even if you do move around a lot, they’re very tight and won’t tire your feet.”

Liu’er seemed to feel that she had said too much and was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head.

However, Yu Youyao felt that she was not lying at all. These shoes were indeed more comfortable than what she usually wore. She smiled and said, “No wonder they’re lighter and more comfortable than other shoes.” With a thought, she thought of her cousin. Her cousin’s legs were not good, so these shoes were the most comfortable. “Make two pairs for Cousin too. There’s no hurry and it’s more important for you to recuperate.”

With that, she gave her cousin’s measurements.

Before she even entered the Jade Courtyard to serve her, she had already received a job. Liu’er was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. “Young Miss, don’t worry. I will definitely do my best.”

However, she automatically ignored the rest of Miss’s words.

After Liu’er left, Yu Youyao did not change out of her shoes. It was obvious that she really liked them.

When they arrived at the Green House, Yu Youyao saw her cousin and Uncle Sun sitting in the small hall talking. She picked up her skirt and entered the house. “Cousin, has the Essence Protection Pill been refined?”

The first thing she asked when she entered was this. Uncle Sun rolled his eyes. “Annoying girl, who are you looking down on? It’s just an Essence Protection Pill. If I make a move, there’s nothing I can’t refine.”

Yu Youyao pursed her lips. “I wonder why. I’ve been struggling for a few days, but I still don’t understand that this Essence Protection Pill isn’t made, but refined. Hmph!”

Uncle Sun was so angry that he bent down and wanted to take off his shoe to slap her.

Yu Youyao was not afraid of him. She made a funny face at him, making Uncle Sun so angry that his beard trembled. He glanced at his young master.

Seeing that the young master was holding a teacup and had a faint smile on his lips that revealed indulgence and pampering, his heart immediately ached. In the past, this girl had treated him with some respect, but now, she was becoming more and more disrespectful. It was all because of the young master’s pampering.

Yu Youyao ignored Uncle Sun and happily went up to her cousin. “Cousin, have you really received the refined Essence Protection Pill? Quick, show it to me.”

She had been thinking about this for the past few days.

Zhou Linghuai looked at the table.

Yu Youyao looked over and saw an agarwood medicine box on the table. There were a bunch of pills inside. They were brownish-red in color and the size of soybeans. Their surfaces were smooth. “So this is how the Essence Protection Pill looks like.” The little girl wasn’t surprised anymore. She leaned closer and smelled it. She actually smelled a faint sweet fragrance. “It feels like candy.”

Zhou Linghuai smiled.

Yu Youyao turned to look at her cousin. “Have you used the Essence Protection Pill? How’s the effect? Is it really as Uncle Sun said? Can it replenish your vitality and nourish your muscles and bone marrow?”

Zhou Linghuai shook his head. “It was just out of the oven. You came over before I could take it.”

Yu Youyao smiled. “Then I came at the right time!”

Zhou Linghuai smiled and nodded. Then, he heard the little girl ask, “Cousin, did Uncle Sun say how to take the Essence Protection Pill? Is there any restriction?”

Zhou Linghuai replied, “One pill every morning and night. Just swallow it directly. There’s no restriction.”

Yu Youyao reached out and picked up an Essence Protection Pill. She placed it on a handkerchief and handed it to her cousin. “Cousin, quickly eat one to see its effect.”

Seeing the concern in the little girl’s eyes, Zhou Linghuai lowered his head and ate the Essence Protection Pill on the handkerchief.

As soon as the brownish-red pill entered his mouth, it emitted a faint sweet fragrance and a faint lotus fragrance. The medicinal cuisine, medicinal tea, and medicinal fragrance that the little girl usually gave him all had such a fragrance. Even the little girl herself had such a fragrance. It did not feel like incense, but a natural fragrance.

Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes and blocked the thoughts in his eyes. He felt that after the pill entered his stomach, there seemed to be a warmth that spread to his internal organs and limbs. It was probably the first time he had taken it, so it did not feel too obvious.

Before he could speak, Yu Youyao looked at him eagerly and asked impatiently, “Cousin, what do you think? Is it effective?”

Zhou Linghuai smiled. “It should be useful.”

Chinese medicine practitioners looked, listened, questioned, and checked the results. Uncle Sun first carefully observed Zhou Linghuai’s consumption of the Essence Protection Pill, then said to him, “Stick out your tongue.”

Zhou Linghuai did as he was told.

Uncle Sun nodded after checking it. Then, he opened Zhou Linghuai’s eyelids and said with an unfathomable expression, “Give me your hand. I’ll take your pulse again.”
