章 8: Request to Train
When Nan Hua had finished talking, the servant girls cleaned up the food and also the table. As Mu Yan prepared bath water for Nan Hua, Xiao Yun looked at Bai Yin with a complicated look.
"Why did you mention it to Miss?"
"I need to give an answer, do I not?" Bai Yin also looked helpless. She shook her head lightly and bit her lower lips. "But Master Nan is really too much. Can't he wait for 100 days to pass? It's even still less than two weeks!"
The custom when someone of important position died would be that they would have a mourning for 100 days. During this time, they were not allowed to have celebrations, party, nor even wedding. And yet, Nan Shu Cheng proceeded to elevate his concubines to be his main wife even before the time had passed.
Of course, this custom would not be in effect if the one who died was a concubine.
Xiao Yun sighed. "Don't speak about it outside. It'll put Miss in difficult position."
"Yes."
Inside the room, Nan Hua naturally could hear them talking. Her senses have always been sharp and it didn't change even after she came to this world. She didn't say anything and chose to take a bath and sleep.
For the first day, it would be better for her to rest first.
…
The next day, Nan Hua first experienced what it felt to be served with other people. If she had to say, she was not totally comfortable with it as it felt weird to have other people helping her to wear clothes. But looking at the complicated dress, it was no wonder that a servant girl was needed.
It would be hard for one to wear the proper clothes by themselves.
"Miss, Old Master and Young Master wishes to eat together in the Ning Shu Pavilion."
"Let's head there."
Ning Shu Pavilion was one of the few pavilions in this residence. Each of them have different names but this one was the one they used the most. The reason was simply because the atmosphere in this pavilion was calmer than the others.
It was far more relaxing.
When Nan Hua arrived, she could see Nan Luo was already there. His eyes lit up when he saw Nan Hua but before he could rush over, Old Master Nan had already restrained him from going over.
"Brat, you're not going to pull another prank in front of me."
"But I just want to hug Hua'er!" Nan Luo protested.
"Sit here obediently."
Nan Luo sulked as he watched Nan Hua came. Her face was still as calm as ever as if there was nothing that could affect her. Seeing that, Nan Luo was thinking of what he was supposed to do to make her smile again.
Should he fool even more? But his grandfather would lock him up if he dared to do anything more daring….
"Grandfather, Luo," Nan Hua greeted softly.
"Come sit here, Hua'er! Grandpa had prepared all of your favorite dishes." Old Master Nan's tone turned much softer.
The servants had already gotten used to see their old master pamper the young miss, thus they only lowered their head. What they wanted to know was what would the soldiers thought if they see the Old Master acted like this.
The cold and ruthless general was pampering his granddaughter with smiles on his face.
Hmm… the thoughts were somewhat interesting.
Though, none of the servants dared to dwell on the thoughts. After all, thinking about their master like this was prohibited.
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Old Master Nan waved his hand. "Leave us alone."
The servants bowed and left the hall. Without anyone else around, the Ning Shu Pavilion truly lived up to its name as it had a really calming atmosphere.
(A/N: Ning meant calm)
"Come, come, let's eat!"
"Where's your manner?" Old Master Nan chided his grandson.
Nan Luo pursed his lips and then pushed the plates with Shu Mai towards Nan Hua. "Hua'er, eat this. It's shrimp, your favorite."
"Thank you." Nan Hua raised her chopstick and started to eat. Eating was mostly in silence because it was the rules and Nan Luo also didn't dare to break the rules too much. He only spoke at the beginning before they finished the meal calmly.
If Nan Luo dared to speak while eating, Old Master Nan would have long spanked him and hang him outside, prohibiting him from eating with the rest of them. Nan Hua's way of eating was pretty good since she had some training, though she still observed her grandfather and Nan Luo to make sure she made no mistake.
After they had finished, Old Master Nan glared at his grandson. "You have to start training today. No more excuse."
Nan Luo's face scrunched up. He wanted to stay with his twin sister more!
Nan Hua then looked at her grandfather. Slowly, she spoke up, "Grandfather, I want to train with Luo."
