Yu Youyao couldn’t wait to open the letter. “According to Shennong Ben Cao Jing, gelatin can be used for both medicine and food. Taking it for a long time will lighten your body and nourish your energy. I’m fine. Don’t worry!’
There was only a short line of words in the letter. Yu Youyao counted each word seriously, over and over again. Twenty-three words was neither too much nor too little.
She flipped through the letter again and again, repeating the words “1 1 m fine. Don’t Worry!” over and over again.
The gelatin produced in Shandong had been a royal tribute since ancient times. It was known as a holy tonic.
It was a short message, and straight to the point. However, as long as he put in the effort, she could feel the concern and care her cousin had for her.
At the end of the letter, there was not even a signature. There was only a bright zither seal.
On the upper left corner of the seal, there were lush branches. There was a string of tung flowers that were elegant and cute. Long stamens hung down from the center of the flower, as if they were swaying in the wind.
Under the leaves of the parasol tree, there was an incense table. There was a 25 -string zither horizontally placed. On the zither, there was another seven -string zither.
“This light paG.o.dite is quite rare. Coincidentally, I still lack a graphic seal. I’ll use it to communicate with others in the future.” “Cousin, what patterns do you plan to carve?
“What do you think, Cousin?
“Why don’t you carve a zither? It’s good to have a zither. I just hope that you’ll have a zither by your side in the future.”
The memories of the past were still vivid in her mind, and Yu Youyao was overjoyed. “So the zither seal has already been carved. It’s really beautiful. It’s as good as my double fish seal.”
She took out her double fish seal and gently pressed it under the zither seal.
With a zither in hand, everything will be well.
Try to help each other with a small strength in times of difficulty.
Yu Youyao took out a piece of lotus paper that she had just made a few days ago. On the pink paper, there was a faint lotus fragrance. It was fresh and pleasant. She couldn’t wait to grind the ink, hold the brush, and dip it in ink. Compared to her cousin’s conciseness, Yu Youyao was long-winded and wrote
The tung flowers in the Jade Courtyard had bloomed. They hung on the branches, bright and vibrant. The stamens hung down and swayed beautifully, like the zither seal that her cousin had carved.
It was written that the lotus lake was filled with pink, white, and red lotus flowers. When the wind blew, it wrinkled the pool of green. The lotus flowers were beautiful. The entire Jade Courtyard was filled with lotus flowers.
She wrote that she had picked the roses in the courtyard and made rose dew.
She had also used the roses to make lipstick. The color was bright and fresh. When her cousin returned, she would apply it for him to see.
After her cousin left, she did not neglect her studies. Every day, she practiced calligraphy, learned the zither, read history, and studied Heavenly Works. She even said that Nanny Xu no longer restricted her from learning incense and tea, but she still had to learn pharmacology.
After nagging about many trivial matters, she wrote about some recent changes in the capital and the progress of the three divisions’ review.
After that, she instructed her cousin to eat well, sleep well, and take care of his health. If there weren’t enough incense pills, write to her and tell her so she would prepare more and get the secret guards to bring them over.
At the end of the letter, thinking about how she hadn’t seen her cousin for a long time, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but feel down. Unknowingly, she wrote many more words that she missed him…
When Yu Youyao stopped writing, she suddenly realized that her wrist was sore and heavy.
With a tilt of her head, more than a dozen pages filled with words were spread on the desk.
Only then did Yu Youyao realize that unknowingly, she had actually written so much without taking a break.
Yu Youyao read them one by one, feeling that she was being too long-winded. She hesitated to write again.
However, after spreading the paper again, she was stunned. Her mind was blank, and she did not know what to write.
She could only give up on the idea of rewriting it. She took the double fish seal, dipped it in cinnabar, and pressed it against the end of the letter.
Yu Youyao took out the envelope and stuffed the thick stack of papers in. The flat envelope was bulging. She sealed it with a wax seal.
Only then did the secret guard, who had been hiding in the dark, walk out.
Only then did Yu Youyao have time to size him up.
On such a hot day, the secret guard was wearing a black outfit. There was a black cloth wrapped around his head and a black iron mask on his face, revealing only a pair of calm eyes.
Yu Youyao handed the letter to him and asked, “What’s your name?
The secret guard’s voice was hoa.r.s.e. “Yin San.”
What kind of name was this? Yu Youyao was stunned. “Did Cousin raise many secret guards? Are you ranked third among them, so you’re called Yin San?”
The secret guard said, “I’m called Yin San.”
Yu Youyao asked curiously, “What’s the difference?
The secret guard said, “If I die, someone will replace me and become Yin San.”
Yu Youyao’s breathing stopped for a moment. She had heard from her cousin that King You’s Residence had many soldiers and secret guards. Most of these people were the children of their fathers who had died in battle and become orphans because of the war.
Those with good apt.i.tude would be nurtured into soldiers or secret guards to serve King You’s Residence.
Those with poor apt.i.tude could only be sent to the manor to work.
It could be considered as giving them a way out.
They had all submitted to King You since their fathers were dead and were loyal to him. After their father died in battle, they were also grateful to King
You for raising them, so they were absolutely loyal to the King You’s Residence.
Yu Youyao took a deep breath and said, “It’s been a long journey. How’s Cousin’s health? How’s his food and sleep after he reached Shandong? Did he violate the rules? Is it appropriate to send someone to serve him?”
Yin Sanyi replied one by one, “With the medicinal fragrance prepared by Young
Miss, Young Master is well on the way.”
“After arriving in Shandong, Young Master has prepared cold incense pills, summer incense pills, and incense pills every day. There are no symptoms of acclimatization.”
“Every night before going to bed, Young Master will use the medicinal dew that Young Miss made to bathe and wash his body. Before going to bed, he will burn some calming incense pills. He’s eating and sleeping well.”
“Many of the people were sent by the emperor to serve Young Master are his men, so it’s naturally appropriate.”
On the way here, Young Master had instructed them in detail.
If Young Miss asked about his health, there was no need to say anything else. He only told her that he had listened to her and used the incense pills she had made every day.
When Yu Youyao heard this, she was indeed much more relieved. “Since the incense pills I brought over are effective, I’ll prepare more. Bring them to Cousin with the letter.”
Yu Youyao quickly went to the incense room and picked out the incense pills she had prepared again during this period of time. She also prepared more than ten types and kept them well. She brought them back to the study and handed them to Yin San.
In the end, she handed a small bag to Yin San. “I’ve prepared some dry food.
Take it along the way.”
Yin San was a little surprised and hesitated for a moment.
Yu Youyao frowned. “Take it. It’s hard to travel back and forth on such a hot day.”
Only then did Yin San take it. With a flash, he jumped out of the window and
When Yu Youyao caught up to the window, she could no longer see Yin San..
