"Slave maid to the third young master," Ah Ning hurriedly bent down to greet the third young master after seeing the third young master, and Sister Chunlan next to her also bowed her head to greet the third young master, "Well, you will serve in my courtyard in the future, don't come and disturb me casually if you have nothing to do on weekdays." After the third young master finished speaking, he walked to the room, A Ning and Chunlan hurriedly followed, after the third young master entered the room, Chunlan and A Ning stood quietly at the door, waiting for the third young master's orders.

Standing until almost noon, the third young master did not move, A Ning and Chunlan went to the dining room in the house to prepare lunch for the third young master, A Ning and Chunlan walked through a corridor to the dining room, the food prepared in the dining room is very exquisite, but it should be prepared in advance, those foods don't look very hot anymore, the two of them hurriedly packed lunch for the third young master with a tray and returned to the courtyard together.

A Ning accompanied Chunlan into the third young master's side room, and there was a delicate hollow lotus flower made of copper on the desk in the room, and sandalwood was placed in it. Wisps of cigarette smoke floated out of the stove, the smell was very contemplative, the third young master was sitting behind the incense, A-Ning felt very far away, so far away that he couldn't see the appearance of the third young master clearly.

A Ning and Chunlan put lunch on a round wooden table made of red sandalwood, although the third young master ate alone, but a full table was placed, chicken, duck, fish and goose meat were all there, the chicken only took the chicken leg part, the fish Taihu Lake just caught the big crucian carp in the early morning, the duck and goose meat were grilled first, and the fat inside was fried and roasted before they began to cook, and even the sweet and salty soup had two servings each, A Ning has been silently sighing in his heart that the life of these big families is really arrogant and lascivious, one meal is enough for the two of A Ning's family to eat and drink, After Aning and Chunlan put down their lunch, the two of them retreated to the side.

The third young master slowly got up and came to the table, slowly picked up the chopsticks, each dish was only sandwiched twice and then put down the chopsticks and stopped moving, Ah Ning was dumbfounded, although Ah Ning also knew that this rich kid was naturally pampered, but this food was too little, Mo said that compared with those elders in the village, Ah Ning was afraid to eat more than the third young master, besides, there was such a big table of dishes left in this waste, it was really a waste of food, thinking of this, Ah Ning glanced at the third young master, With a look of sadness and anger in his eyes, Chunlan had already gotten used to it, so she naturally handed water and a handkerchief to the third young master, and asked A-Ning to help take down the plate.

The third young master went back to the study after lunch, A-Ning and Chunlan also went to eat after cleaning up the table, A-Ning was busy all day and was still growing up, and ate two big bowls of rice, which made Chunlan stunned, and after the two of them ate, they went to the courtyard of the third young master again, the two of them cleaned the yard again, and cooked a new pot of tea, and A-Ning took the tea into the third young master's study.

There is also sandalwood in the study, there are two bookshelves on the left hand side after entering the door, there is a desk below, there is a porcelain cylinder for calligraphy and painting on the ground, there are also a few pots of plum blossoms on the single seat next to it, there is a screen on the right side, and there is a bed in it, which should be a temporary resting place for the third young master on weekdays. A Ning gently walked to the third young master with the tea, poured tea for the third young master, and after pouring it, he felt the temperature in his hand before leaning over and putting the teacup next to the third young master.

The third young master glanced at A Ning and said, "What's your name." "The slave maid's surname is Ning and the word is a month, and the third young master can call the slave and maid A-Ning," A-Ning said to the third young master. Ah Ning, you can grind ink for me here," the third young master said to Ah Ning, this is the first time that the third young master called Ah Ning's name, Ah Ning hurriedly agreed, "Yes, third young master," Ah Ning stood next to the third young master and picked up the graphite and gently sharpened the ink on the inkstone, although Ah Ning had never gone to a private school, but the old gentleman in the private school was the grandfather of the same village, and Ah Ning often went to the gentleman of the private school to play on weekdays. I always praise A-Ning for grinding out the ink is not thin or thick, and it is just right to write on paper, if it is a man, I am afraid that I will not lose to my grandson.

Grandpa Kong's family has a grandson who is a few years older than A Ning, Kong Yu is different from the others in the school, those schoolchildren are just sent by their parents to let the children know a few words, so that they will not be illiterate. Kong Yuyou has followed his grandfather to study in the private school since he was a child, and he can memorize the three-character scripture at the age of five, and the people in the village say that Brother Kong Yu is probably the champion in the future, Brother Kong Yu is very good to A-Ning, and there are delicious and fun things that are interesting on weekdays to A-Ning first, but since the spring of last year, Brother Kong Yu went to the capital to study, and before leaving, he also gave A-Ning a pear hairpin, saying that A-Ning is about to grow into a big girl, and he will use these things in the future.

A-Ning was young at the time and didn't know the meaning of the hairpin given between men and women, so he was very happy to accept the hairpin given by Brother Kong Yu. Now Brother Kong Yu should be about to return from a study tour, I don't know what kind of study tour experience Brother Kong Yu will tell him next time I meet. "After the ink is polished, just stand aside" The third young master's words pulled A-Ning back to his thoughts, put the ink away and stood aside. The third young master dipped the pen in ink and wrote on the paper, A-Ning watched from the side, the words of the third young master are different from the words of Brother Kong Yu, the words written by Kong Yu are very upright, and the words of the third young master are different from his fairy-like temperament, each word is very smart, but after carefully looking at each word, there is a trace of sharpness when the pen is closed, and it is very free and uninhibited when put together, as if the appearance in the handwriting is the original character of the third young master.

The third young master is very patient to read and write there, the spring sun is warm from the window, sprinkled on A-Ning's body, and the sandalwood in the house has been smoking, it is when the spring is lacking and autumn sleepy, A-Ning will be drowsy for a while. The third young master's ink ran out, and he was waiting for A-Ning to continue grinding the ink, but as soon as he turned around, the girl actually fell asleep standing up, "I'm not a place to sleep here." "Water, what water? Is the third young master thirsty, the slave maid will add water to you. A Ning woke up violently and thought that the third young master was going to drink water, and he was about to add water to the third young master with the kettle.

The third young master held his forehead very helplessly and said, "There is a soft couch behind me, I see that Miss A-Ning is sleepy-eyed, it is better to go to my couch to rest." Only then did A-Ning know that the third young master saw that he was asleep, this was secretly mocking himself, no way, the room was warm, the incense was still lit, and the third young master had no sound when he wrote, so he couldn't help but close his eyes, and swore that he really closed it, maybe twice, anyway, he squinted.

Ah Ning was still thinking about how long he had been asleep, and the third young master looked at Ah Ning standing there unmoved, and shook his head, "You still don't polish the ink for me, are you standing there waiting for this son to serve you?" The third young master said to A Ning in a cold tone, "The slave knows that it is wrong, the slave and the maid will immediately grind it for the third young master," A Ning hurriedly walked over and continued to grind the ink for the third young master, but he just took a nap, the third young master had already written a lot of words, after A Ning grinded, the third young master dipped the ink and said to A Ning, "You girl, although your brain is not very bright, but the ink you grind is good." ”

"Of course, I've been grinding ink for Mr. Li's private school in the village." Ah Ning proudly said to the third young master, in the end, he was still very proud of being praised at a young age, and he didn't care about the lack of brains in the previous sentence. "The brain is really not bright," the third young master said again.
