Chapter 154: My Treasure Cousin

"This young master is handsome, but good looks cannot be used to make a living." Mo Shougui muttered sourly as he watched his little disciple hugging the other's arm like a young swallow escaping into the forest.

"Cousin? Come to think of it, many of my nephews and nephews must call Hongdou cousin, right?" Wen Daozhi said as he thought about it in his mind. He didn't know if his family had any nephews or something in the past few years.

"...He's my uncle's cousin. He's been close to Hongdou since she was a child."

"My cousin is studying away from home and is not often at home. He always brings gifts to Hongdou."

"Hongdou is able to make soap thanks to my cousin. I heard that my cousin just passed the provincial examination and is now a student."

When it comes to jealousy, no one is more jealous than Yu Song, the biological brother. However, his cousin is really good to his sister and is really capable, so he can only be jealous behind her back.

"Is your family interested in getting married?" Mo Shougui asked bluntly, but he didn't agree in his heart.

This is just the beginning. It takes three years to take the exam to become a scholar. If you fail, it will take another three years. Even if you pass, there are still juren behind you. Even if you enter the Golden Palace and win the first place, your future is not guaranteed.

Therefore, in Mo Shougui's opinion, being good-looking, smart, and having the status of a virgin cannot be considered as merits for becoming a disciple.

"Not really." Yu Song shook his head. It's not that far yet.

My cousin, his uncle and aunt are all very nice people, but there is also the Fu family behind my cousin.

The old man of the Fu family loved his grandson very much since he was born. When he was a little kid, he took him home to raise him and then supported his education all the way without asking his daughter and son-in-law to help at all.

It is said that Mr. Fu’s biggest regret is that none of his children or grandchildren are well-mannered, so he particularly likes his handsome son-in-law and grandson.

After his grandson grew up, he became more and more clever. The old man wanted to keep him close to his heart and protect him. He told his children and grandchildren directly that he would be solely responsible for his grandson's studies, exams and marriage.

Having such a grandfather who loves his grandson has both advantages and disadvantages, not to mention...

"My cousin has quite a lot of cousins. There are four on his maternal side alone, and they are all of the same age. Then there are his maternal in-laws... there are no less than ten in total." They were all staring at his tender and delicate cousin with a covetous look. Yu Song looked at his cousin who was chatting and laughing with his sister.

He really wasn't jealous at all, not at all.

"..."Mo Shougui and Wen Daozhi were speechless. Young man, please control that gritted teeth expression on your face. Now anyone can see that you are jealous.

Yu Sanlang was also looking at his son, and as he looked at him, he burst out laughing. Only in front of his wife's brother's nephew did his son act like a child.

"Uncle, how are you, cousin~" Pan Bao said a few words to his little cousin who loved to act like a spoiled child, and came over to greet Yu Sanlang and Yu Song.

"Well~ I haven't seen Bao Ge'er for a long time. You look taller. I heard that you passed the Tongsheng exam. Your hard work over the years has not been in vain."

Yu Sanlang praised them highly, then turned around and introduced Mo Shougui and Wen Daozhi to his nephew.

"These are your cousin's two teachers, Mr. Wen and Mr. Mo. Brother Wen and Brother Mo, this is Pan Bao from my brother-in-law's family. He is thirteen years old and just passed the Tongsheng exam the other day."

Speaking of Yu Sanlang Yi Zui Rongguang, a 13-year-old student, can be called a child prodigy among them.

"Only thirteen? Since ancient times, talented people have emerged from young people. It's true." Wen Daozhi was surprised. Just based on this, he could tell that his apprentice's cousin did have some abilities.

"Yeah." Mo Shougui nodded, indicating that he had met him.

His fellow apprentices were all great sages. Not only did they serve as officials in the court, but even their nephews were all gifted. Therefore, a thirteen-year-old boy was unusual but not uncommon.

"Cousin, have you used the soap I brought you?" After Yu Hongdou waited for his cousin to greet the teacher, he started chatting with him.

It was clearly the first time they met today, but when she saw this little cousin, she felt like she was bathed in sunshine, and her body and heart felt warm.

Well, is she a face control? No, the three people in the Tan family are no worse looking than my cousin, so that's why she is close to my little cousin!

"Yes, I like the smell of mugwort the most. It feels like I'm back home and my mother has just fumigated the house with mugwort. I feel particularly energetic after washing." Pan Bao answered with a smile, holding his little cousin's hand.

Yu Song turned his back to his cousins ​​and slowly rolled his eyes, imitating his sister's previous behavior, which made the three elders laugh.

Pan Bao wasn't that annoying. He had just come back with his parents and there were still a lot of things to pack up at home. He just happened to see his aunt's door wide open when he passed by, and knew that his aunt and her family were there, so he came to pay their respects.

"Ask your parents to come over for dinner tonight. Your cousin and her family have prepared some fish and shrimps." Yu Sanlang instructed his nephew who was about to leave.

Pan Bao agreed, bowed and said goodbye to his cousin and two teachers, then left.

"Oh, I finally understand why my cousin is called Brother Bao." Yu Hongdou sighed. Her cousin really has the temperament of a precious jade.

"...Your brother Bao doesn't know how to make boiling fish." Yu Song raised his hand and slapped his sister on the head.

"Haha, brother, how about having fish with vinegar tonight?" Yu Hongdou touched her forehead which didn't hurt at all, and hugged her brother and laughed.

How come her brother is so cute?

The dinner was sumptuous and lively. Yu Hongdou was afraid that the teachers would feel uncomfortable, so she stopped sticking to her cousin and stayed by the teachers' side.

Of course, she was not idle either. In addition to saying a few words to her grandfather from time to time to persuade the old man to be less silent, she would also run to the girls' table and look at her aunt's belly in awe.

It is said that her aunt is pregnant with twins, so her belly is incredibly big.

"My father was very happy when Bao Ge passed the examination and became a student. He gave him a shop next to the pipeline in the town. My brothers and I didn't say anything, but my sister-in-law and sisters-in-law all had some opinions."

"Several sisters-in-law wanted to marry their daughters to Bao Ge'er, and several brothers and sisters-in-law said that they had girls of the right age at home, but my father rejected them all, saying that Bao Ge had great ambitions..."

Fu's words were still so gentle, but the meaning behind them made people think deeply.

Mrs. Xu nodded without changing her expression and agreed, "Yes, I think Brother Bao is also very lucky. Compared with his marriage, you should pay more attention to your belly."

Fu's hand moved, and with a slightly tense expression she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. She glanced at her elder sister-in-law and saw that she looked concerned and did not seem alienated or angry, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She actually thought her elder sister-in-law's family was pretty good, and Hongdou was well-behaved and smart, but the old man in the family insisted that his son would be able to enter the court in the future, and at that time he must marry a lady from a wealthy family to help his son settle down in the harem.

Her son has always been raised by the old man, and she doesn't dare to refute her father. Her husband doesn't even know what his father said.

When Mrs. Xu saw the look on her brother and sister-in-law's face, she had no idea what was going on. She really didn't take it seriously.

Although the aunt and uncle are very close relatives and their brothers and sisters-in-law are of impeccable character, Xu felt uncomfortable when she thought that her nephew was favored by so many cousins.

Her daughter is so good, she must find a son-in-law who will protect and pamper her wholeheartedly. The key is that her daughter is only five years old, so it is too early to talk about marriage!
