Chapter 24: Nan'er

Nan'er pointed to the only big iron door with a pair of slender jade hands, and a gentle smile fell on her face.

Han Ming followed Nan'er's finger and looked in that direction, only to see that there was a small hole next to the big iron gate.

"Young Master Fang Cai has been cultivating with his eyes closed, and there is a meal next to the cave entrance that is placed on a small wooden cart and slides down on its own, and there is a rope tied to the back of the cart, which should have been delivered by someone outside. Nan'er's voice was extremely nice and soft, which made Han Ming very comfortable.

Han Ming was a little stunned at this time, thinking that it was Zhu Chiyuan's people who put the food on the cart, and then let the cart run down the slope on its own, and the rope should be used to drag it back to the cart when the next meal is taken.

"Sister Nan'er, have you eaten it?" Han Ming stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, these snacks were very exquisite, they made people appetite when they smelled it, and they tasted even more delicious.

"These meals are all the specifications of the young masters, Nan'er is just a subordinate, not worthy of eating. Nan'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Han Ming, as if she was afraid that Han Ming would think that she was stealing food.

The Red family is extremely strict with the servants, and even more so in the area of the master and servant, if the servant is caught stealing the master's food, the beating is inevitable.

A maid that Nan'er knew before was beaten ten boards for stealing a piece of pastry from a certain lady, and she had to continue working the next day after being beaten, and she didn't even have time to recuperate.

Since then, Nan'er has been cautious and doesn't dare to violate the rules, let alone eat these foods that you can know at a glance that they are the specifications of the young master, although she hasn't eaten for a long time.

Han Ming was a little puzzled by Nan'er's expression, I don't know why she looked a little scared, Han Ming thought back to what he said, and didn't find any problems!

"What young master's specifications, if you eat it, come, let's eat together." Han Ming pushed a plate of dim sum in front of Nan'er.

Nan'er seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps back, waving her hands again and again.

"Nan'er can't eat it, this is the young master's meal. Nan'er still didn't dare to make any transgressive moves.

"Eat, do you think I can eat so much? Han Ming picked up the plate of dim sum and sent it to Nan'er. "Besides, there must be yours here, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many from above!"

Nan'er stood in place and hesitated for a while, but finally seemed to dispel her doubts under the encouragement of Han Ming's eyes, and slowly stepped forward and took the plate of dim sum.

"I don't feel comfortable sitting down and eating, standing up. Han Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw Nan'er take the snack, so he beckoned Nan'er to sit down.

Nan'er lowered her head, pinched a piece of pastry with her fingers and put it to her mouth, took a bite gently, and chewed it slowly.

"By the way, didn't Sister Nan'er eat the food sent by the waiter in the bamboo building before?, then how do you maids eat every day?" Han Ming remembered that before, he was very curious about how Nan'er ate.

Nan'er heard Han Ming ask her, so she immediately swallowed the pastry in her mouth: "Zhu Chiyuan's young master has two maids, and when it is time to eat, one will go to eat, and the other will follow the young master, and the young master will not tell me to do anything on weekdays, so I have a lot of time to go to the place where the next person eats." ”

"So that's the case" Han Ming recalled the matter of choosing a personal maid that day, the second master of the Chi family did let him choose two maids, but if it weren't for Hua Lao, Han Ming didn't want to choose any of them, so he chose one casually.

"Fortunately, she has always told Nan'er to do something, otherwise she might not even have to eat. Han Ming thought silently in his heart.

Nan'er raised her head slightly, peeking at her young master like a thief, and had some inexplicable feelings in her heart.

The young man in front of him is afraid that he is the only young master of the opposite sex in Zhu Chiyuan's history, but as the noble young master Zhu Chiyuan, he has no young master's frame at all, he is alone all day long, like a lone ranger, very different from other young masters!

"The young master is still good, but he is a person worthy of entrusting his life!" Nan'er had a slight flush on her face, and thought silently in her heart.

"Bah, no shame. Nan'er scolded herself in her heart.

"Sister Nan'er, can you tell me about your past, it's still boring. Han Ming's affection for Nan'er has increased a lot, mainly because Nan'er's plea with Hua Lao made him feel a little warm.

Nan'er raised her head in some surprise, looking at Han Ming with some confusion in her eyes, not knowing why Han Ming was interested in her past.

In fact, Han Ming was not interested in Nan'er's past, but now he felt that he couldn't treat Nan'er like before, and it was still necessary to understand Nan'er.

Nan'er's real name is Shu Ting, a native of Lirong Mansion in Luzhou, Nan'er's mother died of illness when she was three years old, and her father was conscripted into the army a year later, and she has never seen her since. Nan'er spoke of her grandfather in a tone that darkened her expression, and slowly put down the pastries in her hand.

"My grandfather raised me alone, and although I lived in poverty with my grandfather, I was really happy in those years. It wasn't until I was 12 years old that everything changed dramatically, my grandfather's old illness recurred, he coughed up blood every day, and his health deteriorated day by day. Nan'er's eyes were red when she said this.

In the years of the Chi family, Nan'er didn't have too good sisters, so Nan'er didn't tell anyone about her past, and she herself tried to avoid thinking about sad things in the past. Now because of Han Ming, she remembered her childhood again, and she felt uncomfortable for a while.

Han Ming was at a loss by Nan'er's sadness, he wouldn't make the girl happy. He secretly regretted why he asked Nan'er to talk about the past, it's better now, and he is about to cry.

"Sister Nan'er, don't say anything if you want to feel uncomfortable. Han Ming held back for a long time before he popped out this sentence.

"It's okay, the young master wants to listen, Nan'er can talk about it. Nan'er rubbed her eyes and squeezed out a smile.

Han Ming secretly scolded himself in his heart that he had nothing to do, why did he want to provoke Nan'er's sadness, he just said it casually, but he didn't want to know Nan'er's past too much.

Han Mingzhi didn't continue to insist that Nan'er stop talking, because he knew that the most important thing for him to do now was to be a listener, as long as he listened quietly.

"Later, my grandfather met the Chi family to recruit servants, and I was sold to the Chi family, and when my grandfather left, he said that he would definitely come back to me, but I never saw my grandfather again after I was sold to the Chi family. Nan'er's voice was a little choked, as if she was holding back the discomfort in her heart.

Han Ming still understands this kind of family affection, blood is thicker than water is always the same, for some reason there is a wave of discomfort in his heart, he feels empty in his heart, panicked and uncomfortable.

"After entering the Chi family, I was looking forward to my grandfather coming back and taking me away all day long, so I worked hard every day, wanting to get more rewards, and waited for my grandfather to leave later. It wasn't until one day that I went out with the purchasing maid and unexpectedly learned that my grandfather had died three days after selling me to the Chi family, and I was not with him. Nan'er's eyes were red, and she tried hard to hold back so that she didn't shed tears.

Nan'er looked sad, people couldn't help but want to hold Nan'er in her arms and protect her, Han Ming looked at Nan'er with a sad look, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.

"Grandpa sold me to the Chi family as a last resort, he was afraid that I would be helpless in the future, so he wanted to find me a home before the end of his life, the Chi family is a very good choice, many people want to enter the Chi family but can't get in!" Nan'er's sadness was forcibly suppressed, and he forcibly squeezed out a smile for Han Ming.

Han Ming sighed silently in his heart, and secretly decided in his heart that he would treat Nan'er well in the future, even if he went east one day, he would have to prepare a way back for Nan'er, after all, Zhu Chiyuan would not simply let him go, at least Hua Lao's cheap master would not let him go, so it would inevitably implicate Nan'er.

Han Ming took out a handkerchief out of nowhere and handed it to Nan'er.

"Sister Nan'er, don't be sad, it's all over, grandpa must want you to live happily. ”

Nan'er sniffed her nose, took the handkerchief handed over by Han Ming, wiped her eyes, and looked at Han Ming very gratefully.

Han Ming smiled, stretched out his hand and handed another plate of dim sum to Nan'er: "Sister Nan'er, don't think about it, come, eat a snack, I will have something to trouble you in the future, don't be tired." ”

I don't know why, Nan'er has a natural affection for Han Ming, maybe Han Ming chose her out of more than a dozen maids, or maybe the training she received was to pay for her master wholeheartedly.

After Nan'er told Han Ming about her past, she felt that her relationship with Han Ming was a little closer, and Han Ming had similar feelings.

"As long as it is ordered by the young master, Nan'er will definitely do it, don't be tired, Nan'er was selected from thousands of people, but she doesn't just eat idle meals. Nan'er's sadness was gone for the most part, and a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, it seemed that it was extremely difficult to be selected to Zhu Chi Mansion.

In fact, this is exactly the case, there are many servants in the Chi family in Luzhou, and it is not easy to stand out from them, which is not something that can be done by being beautiful.

After Han Ming ate hastily, he slowly tried to stand up, he didn't want to waste a little time, his waste-like qualifications were being wasted.

When Nan'er saw Han Ming trying to get up from the stone bed, she immediately got up from the chair as well, and stretched out two slender arms to hold Han Ming.

Han Ming didn't want Nan'er to support him, but he still had two silver needles stuck in his legs, and the poison of white and yellow gall below his knees had not been lifted, so it was really difficult to stand up on his own. Han Ming smiled at Nan'er, and let Nan'er help him.

After standing up, Nan'er put on a long robe for Han Ming, Han Ming was still a little embarrassed, and now he was only wearing a pair of shorts to cover his shame.

As soon as Han Ming ran the Yuan Gong, he felt that the toxins on his legs were much less, which made him very confused, he was sure that this was by no means the effect of Hua Lao's antidote, those two silver needles completely hindered the spread of medicinal properties to his legs, and the medicinal properties had already been refined by him with a nameless mouth.

"Could it be the Poisonous Emperor Grass? Didn't Hua Lao say that eating the Poisonous Emperor Grass might not be poisoned!" Han Ming secretly guessed in his heart.

"Sister Nan'er, take me around. Han Ming quickly left the toxin on his leg behind, it only took an hour for the toxin to be completely removed according to the speed of the toxin reduction, now it is better to familiarize himself with this unfamiliar environment, otherwise Han Ming will always feel uncomfortable.
