Chapter 2 was a companion
Register your name, pick up your clothes, and assign a room...... After doing this, Zhong Nan officially became a handyman of the Ma family, and fortunately, he did not use the famous number, but his original name. It is said that it is a miscellaneous labor, but in fact it is "a brick of the revolution, where it needs to be moved", running errands, porters, serving dishes, maintenance workers......... As long as it is explained by the old ladies of the Ma family, it is the scope of work of the miscellaneous servants, just like a brick of the revolution, where it needs to be moved.
Time flies, winter goes to spring, Zhong Nan has been coming to Ma's house for half a year, although he is not satisfied with the current life, but he can't find a good way to change it for the time being, his only advantage is the identity of the traverser, but that also has to have a discerning eye for the talented Bole. This Ma family is not Washington, and he is not Tang Bohu, although Qiu Xiang takes care of him very much, but he is really a handyman, and he is considered the lowest character, and he can only say anything about "toads eating swan meat" in private, so don't expect anything in real life.
……
Another day, Zhong Nan was carrying the ingredients that had just arrived in the back kitchen, and heard someone shouting "help", as a good young man in the 21st century, he immediately dropped what he was doing, and quickly ran to the backyard looking for the sound. I saw Qiu Xiang and the other two maids shouting loudly by the lake, Qiu Xiang saw Zhong Nan who came over, pointed to the small lake on the side, and said anxiously: "Zhong Nan, the little young master has fallen into the lake, you go down quickly and save him!" ”
Zhong Nan didn't think much about it, took off his coat and plunged into the lake, and quickly dragged the person to the shore, only to see that the young master in his 10s had a blue face and a swollen stomach, and he was already in a dangerous state of being unconscious. A few of the female relatives who came around were so anxious that they shouted loudly but didn't know what to do, and Qiu Xiang tried her best to appease them to no avail, which made Zhong Nan speechless, so he could only shout loudly: "Don't make any noise!" ”
The loud voice startled a few people, and a maid was about to accuse this subordinate who didn't understand the rules, but saw Zhong Nan pull everyone away, came to the little master, pressed on the stomach, and after squeezing the water in the stomach, no one woke up, Zhong Nan did not hesitate, and immediately began artificial respiration, first pressed on the little master's heart thirty times in a row, and then blew on the mouth twice, so repeatedly pressed and blew, I don't know how long it took, before I heard the cough of the little young master. At this time, there was already a large circle of people around, who were all talking about Zhong Nan's strange actions, but when they saw the little young master wake up, they instantly changed their tone and praised Zhong Nan for his strength.
Seeing that the little master was rescued, Zhong Nan thought to himself, fortunately, he had learned the "Heimlich First Aid Method", and this critical moment finally came in handy. He ignored the maids around him, returned to his bed, and fell asleep. In his sleep, Zhong Nanzheng and Miss Qiuxiang got married, and now he had just finished worshipping heaven and earth, and was about to be "sent to the cave room", but he was woken up by someone as soon as this dream was at a critical juncture, and then he was pulled in front of the old lady, saying that he wanted to thank him for saving the little master's life, gave him a lot of silver, and said that he would not have to do miscellaneous work in the future, and was promoted to the little master's accompaniment. In this way, Zhong Nan moved from the chase shop to the upper and lower bunks, plus received a huge bonus of two hundred taels of silver, and his daily work became to accompany the little master to read and play, and there were more opportunities for normal contact with Qiu Xiang.
The little young master is the most spoiled existence in the entire Ma family, the old lady of the Ma family only had him when he was almost fifty years old, naturally he is very precious, plus the concept of "the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the child" in ancient times, it is even more so that the ten-year-old young master is spoiled in the sky, and the stars will not give the moon, so the words of the little master are sometimes more effective than the old man in the Ma family. This time it is his request to let Zhong Nan accompany him, although Zhong Nan looks young, but he is twenty-four after all, it always feels strange to be a teenager's accompaniment, but the folk atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is very enlightened, and not many people will care about this kind of trivial matter, so Zhong Nan's companion has no objection.
The young master had classes every morning and afternoon, and in addition to him, there were also several nephews of his own age who were the same age as him. said that it was a class, that is, a few teachers were invited, and every day I went to the Ma family's special school to talk about some enlightenment knowledge, what three character scriptures, disciple rules and the like, listening to the teenagers shaking their heads and reading aloud every day, Zhong Nan, who was reading on the side, also felt that he was a bit nondescript in it - a group of teenage teenagers reading teenagers, mixed with a young man in his twenties, how many times did this young man have to repeat the grade!
The Ma family is a well-known family in Suzhou, and the gentlemen invited are all local scholars, but a learned teacher does not mean that he is a good teacher. These gentlemen teach the Four Books and the Five Classics every day, which is very boring, and they just follow the textbook, without any interest, which makes the teenage children unable to learn it at all.
Especially the little young master, he is very restless when he reads, and often feels bored while reading, so he sneaks out to play, and whenever this time Zhong Nan only slips along with him. At the beginning, Mr. would stop him, but he couldn't stop it, and after reporting to the old lady of the Ma family, it was useless. So later, the little young master pulled Zhong Nan to skip class, and the gentleman turned a blind eye, and he didn't see it, anyway, he did his duty, and the salary of the Ma family would still be paid as usual.
After the two escaped from the school, they wandered around after escaping from the side gate of the Ma family, and sometimes they would escape from the city gate and go to the suburbs for half a day. But the little master's favorite is to go to the overpass, where there are all kinds of fun and food to see, every time I go to the overpass, I will play until it is almost dark before I go home.
Today, the two of them slipped out in the morning class, and the little master heard that a new juggling team came to the overpass not long ago, and he had to go to see the freshness, so Zhong Nan accompanied him straight to the overpass.
Just arrived at the mouth of the overpass to hear a large number of applause, the two looked for the sound, it turned out to be the new juggling team is performing, I heard others say that this show is called "longitudinal ladder", but at this time the performance is nearing the end, only to see dozens of meters in the air, a figure is crawling up along the unsupported hemp rope, to the top of the hemp rope, the figure jumped, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. The men, women, and children of all onlookers were stunned by this almost miraculous performance, and after a few moments, there was an explosion of applause and cheers, and some of the bold spectators took out their silver and began to give rewards. The little young master pulled Zhong Nan and ran to the periphery of the crowd, and the young man who couldn't squeeze in had to sit on Zhong Nan's shoulder and applaud with everyone.
Zhong Nan was blocked out and couldn't see the scene inside, so he had to look around, and it didn't take long to see the figure who had performed on the hemp rope coming from a distance. It looked like she should be a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with big willow eyebrows, a good face, wearing a goose-yellow power suit, she saw Zhong Nan looking at herself intently, glared fiercely before turning her head into the backstage of the juggling team.
After that, the show performed by this juggling team was very ordinary, nothing more than some routine operations such as chest crushing boulders and swallowing swords, and the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed. The little master watched it for a while, but he also felt bored, so the two of them looked east and west, and played until the afternoon before going home. Along the way, Zhong Nan always felt that someone was following them, and suddenly turned back, but he didn't find anything.
"Zhong Nan, there will be that rope climbing performance tomorrow, let's go see it early."
Zhong Nan naturally has no opinion on the little master's proposal, and he also wants to watch this incredible show in its entirety. Early the next morning, the little young master pulled Zhong Nan out of the classroom and rushed to the overpass early. It may be that the time is still early, after the two came to the overpass, the juggling team has not yet started to perform, but is just making preliminary preparations, and a group of participants perform their duties, and a quarter of an hour later they will beat the gong to open, attracting a large number of people nearby to watch, Zhong Nan and the little master occupy a favorable position, just to see clearly.
Amid the cheers, the young woman came out on a somersault and saluted with a fist at the crowd of onlookers. After that, the middle-aged man on the side took out a large roll of hemp rope from the backstage, and showed the hemp rope to the onlookers at close range, after everyone confirmed that the hemp rope was genuine, the middle-aged man grabbed one end of the hemp rope and threw it into the air, the top of the hemp rope gradually rose without any external force, until the bottom of the hemp rope was also suspended before it stopped rising, at this time the top of the hemp rope was nearly 100 meters in the air, but the bottom end was at the height of everyone's shoulders. The young woman hugged her fist at everyone again, and then jumped up, climbing up along the bottom end of the hemp rope, the woman moved lightly, and it didn't take long to climb to the top, and after a slight pause, a harrier turned over, just like yesterday, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Zhong Nan watched the performance up close throughout the whole process, and was amazed, in his modern opinion, everything can be explained by science, but the young woman's performance today made him not know what to say, whether it was the hemp rope hanging in the air without assistance, or the woman's final disappearance, he was puzzled. It's just that now that the facts are in front of him, he can only use the young woman's martial arts to convince himself.
