Jiang Tang was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Are you here? Come in."
The young man pursed his lips and lowered his head.
The familiar sweet fragrance passed into his nose, almost immediately easing the pain that had been tormenting him all day long. His eyelashes, as long as feather fans, trembled slightly, and he looked as timid and docile as the rumors said.
The palace maid who originally wanted to continue persuading heard Jiang Tang's words and followed her out. When she looked up, she saw the eunuch standing in front of her, with a flash of disgust in her eyes:
"There are many clever maids in the palace. I advise you to think about it again so as not to regret it later."
These words did not shy away from Nan Xing at all. The young man just lowered his head and said nothing, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of contempt and disgust.
The smile on Jiang Tang's face faded a little, and his tone was soft but unquestionable: "No need, he is the best choice."
The palace maid was obviously unhappy, but she had no choice but to endure it, but she couldn't help but hit the innocent boy hard when she left.
Nan Xing groaned, lowered his head and said nothing, without any resistance.
Jiang Tang: It’s a bit eye-opening. This is such a pitiful person.
"come in."
She spoke softly and led the person into the courtyard, where some of the spices she needed had been brought.
"You don't have to do anything else in the next few days, you just need to help me deal with the spices. Now, you..."
She suddenly paused in her words and her eyes fell on the young man's hand wrapped in fine cloth.
He glanced down and realized: "I can do that."
The voice was thin and weak. If it weren't for the silence in the yard and the two people not far away, Jiang Tang would have thought that he was hallucinating.
She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the young man in front of her.
He has a slender figure and his head is always lowered. He seems to be extremely afraid of the eyes of others. Like a frightened baby bird, he habitually hides himself under his wings to prevent others from prying and does not want to spy on others.
Suddenly I was a little unsure whether it would be okay for me to choose him.
This thought just flashed through her mind. Once she had done it, she would do it to the end.
"Then try it first, and if it doesn't work, let's talk about it later."
Jiang Tang's gentle words made Nan Xing relax. He quietly raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, but saw that she had already walked to the room:
"I'm going to get a glass of water. You take a look first and get familiar with the spices."
While he was talking, Jiang Tangren had already walked into the room, as if he had forgotten that he had forgotten to ask him whether he could read or not.
"Exchange for painkilling medicine." Jiang Tang already spoke to the system as he stepped into the door.
[Special medicine: 2 points, 1 board. Redemption successful, now available for use.]
As the system tone faded, a board of pills fell into Jiang Tang's hands. She took one out and threw it into the tea cup.
The pill melted when it came into contact with water and was colorless and odorless, but she still shook it gently before walking out with the tea cup.
[Let the host bring him water, he will really make money.] The system was sour, Jiang Tang just pretended not to hear.
"Drink a glass of water first."
The gentle and sweet girl came from behind, and the slender figure trembled slightly, as if she was frightened by her words.
"No, no need, I'm not thirsty."
When he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Tang quickly, then lowered his head, and his jade-white earlobes seemed to turn red.
Just...a little cute, like a timid little rabbit.
Jiang Tang put the "added" tea cup into his hand: "Drink, I made the fruit tea myself. Even the queen said it tastes good."
As she spoke, she also drank the cup in her hand, with a natural attitude comparable to that of a top actress.
System: [Isn’t it true that the modern host studied acting? There is no trace of acting.]
Jiang Tang put down the tea cup as if nothing had happened: "You don't know what I study?"
System: ...It’s strange that you know it! Your talent can kill many actors instantly. It would be a waste not to act.
Nan Xing was originally "forced" to drink tea, but after taking the first sip, his heart moved slightly.
He subconsciously looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and saw that she drank all the tea in his cup with a natural look on her face. He then lowered his eyes and slowly drank the tea in one gulp.
"Does it taste good?" The girl smiled cutely at him. She was gentle, clean and not aggressive at all, making it easy for people to like her.
Nan Xing nodded, a slight dimple seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth, which was quickly flattened by him: "It tastes good."
"If you like, there's some inside. You can take some back when you're done. I've made them into tea bags. Just brew them when you drink."
The girl said it without any thought, as if she was naturally recommending something she likes to her friends.
But Nan Xing just lowered his head and did not answer. His hands seemed a little awkward, not knowing how to accept the "good intentions" from others.
Jiang Tang knew when to stop. After confirming that the medicine should be almost effective, he took him to learn about spices and started making it.
"This incense is very simple to make, but the spice processing is a bit troublesome. I will make it again and you can learn from it."
Hearing her words, Nan Xing nodded hurriedly and looked over with a serious look on his face. His white face looked even more docile.
Jiang Tang couldn't help but take another look. When the other party looked over, he moved away and coughed lightly:
"Agarwood and cloves should be cut into thin slices together, and dipterocarps should be dissolved in water."
Jiang Tang said, while showing him the operation: "Frankincense and amber need to be ground into powder..."
The girl's movements were graceful and skillful, and her flowing movements made the young man who was watching her seriously couldn't help but be attracted.
The amazement in the other party's eyes did not escape Jiang Tang's gaze. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were somewhat proud.
In fact, the so-called proficiency and elegance are just learned in the time practice room after working overtime the night before, but it is enough to fool people.
"Okay, come and give it a try and see if you can do it."
Jiang Tang stopped and looked at the boy beside him.
Nan Xing glanced at her, and those beautiful eyes were once again fully revealed in front of her eyes, and Jiang Tang was once again well seen.
Such eyes, such a face...it's a pity that he is a little eunuch.
In an instant, the regret on her body was about to materialize, and Nan Xing, who was originally concentrating on handling the spices, couldn't help but look over.
"Did you do something wrong?"
The nervousness and fear in the young man's eyes instantly awakened Jiang Tang's reason. She shook her head: "No, that's it. You can continue."
In fact, it doesn't matter what the spices are. The most important step is that they haven't been exchanged in the system space.
The young man nodded and continued to deal with it attentively.
Jiang Tang stood on the side and watched. When something went wrong with his movements, he opened his mouth to remind him.
In the meantime, Lin Zhaoyi was worried and sent someone over to take a look. Through the crack in the door, she saw the two of them moving in an orderly manner, as if they really didn't need help, so she finally gave up.
