14, Chapter Fourteen
Although Nan Xiaonan didn't say it, she cherished the sweets with meanings that she got. There were three candies alone in the cheap and transparent candy bag, but they were able to attract all Nan Xiaonan's attention.
The housekeeper watched Nan Xiaonan carrying the bag around the room like a treasure. Even when she changed into comfortable home clothes, she was not willing to put down the small transparent bag. She carried it even when she went to the toilet. Her entire attention was focused on it.
All are on the transparent bag, which shows that I really love it.
The housekeeper answered the call from the two young masters and reported Nan Xiaonan's special love for bags to the two young masters. The housekeeper who didn't know the reason could only hear the two young masters laughing happily, and even the two young masters who had been given high hopes and pressure since childhood
The eldest young master could not hide his happy smile.
"Take him to buy some candies." Nan Qinse said, "I don't have that much time to spend with him. Please take care of him."
"This is my duty." The housekeeper looked at Nan Xiaonan lying facelessly on the sofa, her white socks dangling back and forth. While talking on the phone, she stroked the transparent bag like a pet, "It's just
I don’t know if other candies can replace this candy bag.”
"You don't have to worry." Nan Qinse said with a smile, "Just give him whatever he wants."
The butler made a rare joke: "What if the young master proposes something beyond my ability?"
"Then write it down first and give it to him later." Nan Qinse said, but shook her head helplessly.
If he can make arbitrary demands, it may be the first step to truly rely on them.
Don't be too hasty.
"Didn't that woman specifically want to get in touch with Xiaonan?"
"Young Master, that is Madam, your stepmother." I hope that this family will always be good, but all the housekeeper can do is just say a few more words, "Madam, there is a gathering among all the ladies during this time.
I’m busy, I went out very early today.”
"Well, don't let her get close to Xiaonan."
The butler hung up the phone and sighed deeply. Unfortunately, he was just a butler.
Subconsciously looking at the young master on the sofa, I suddenly found that although the young master put the bag in front of him, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was thinking about something serious.
Little thoughts of children?
When the housekeeper was in a daze, his little feet stepped on the ground in front of him and made a thumping sound. The young master ran up to him, holding the transparent bag in both hands, looking up at him with his clear eyes filled with words.
The meaning of "I have something to say".
The housekeeper bent down, half-knelt in front of Nan Xiaonan and looked at him levelly: "Do you have any orders, young master?"
"Are you busy now?" Nan Xiaonan's red lips were stained with a faint sheen, probably because she was pursed because of nervousness.
"I have more free time now. If the young master gives me something to do, that would be great."
After hearing this, Nan Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes sparkling: "I want to touch this bag for you."
The butler was stunned and took the small bag. The candy bag, which was very big for Nan Xiaonan, was like a toy in the butler's hand: "Young Master, may I ask, is there any reason for this?"
"This is a perfect bag that my brothers gave me for a long time, so I want the housekeeper to touch it too, so that we both have it."
Although he did not understand the necessary connection between the candy packets and the three words, the housekeeper still received a kind message from the young master: "Thank you for your care, young master. As a return gift, can I take the young master to buy some new candies?"
What about in return?”
The housekeeper had not taken care of the baby for a long time, and he did not have to spend any time with such a well-behaved child. However, the more this happened, the more the housekeeper couldn't help but take care of the young master.
"Do you want to repay me?" Nan Xiaonan blinked, "I don't need you to repay me."
"But the young master shared with me that he has been single-minded and perfect for a long time. I really hope to give the young master a gift of thanks."
Nan Xiaonan grabbed the small bag that the housekeeper returned to him, lowered his head and hesitated for a while.
From the looks of it, he must be worried.
The butler's attitude became softer: "I am still on working time. Any request from the young master is part of my work. The young master only needs to give instructions."
Nan Xiaonan immediately shook her head and just stood there holding Xiaobao's backpack without saying anything.
The butler did not force anything: "Then if the young master needs anything, please give me any instructions at any time."
The butler turned around to deal with the unfinished work at hand, but was suddenly stopped by a weak force behind him. The butler turned around and saw the young master lowering his head. From his angle, he could see the young master's hair, white and tender.
Her cute short fingers grasped the corner of his clothes.
The butler turned back: "If the young master has something to say and it is difficult to speak, I can prepare a cup of hot milk for the young master. A hot drink will make people feel relaxed."
Nan Xiaonan nodded obediently.
The housekeeper went to the back garden with hot milk and saw the young master sitting obediently on the swing chair in the garden, kicking his feet in the air intentionally or unintentionally, feeling helpless and nervous.
After putting down the milk in front of Nan Xiaonan, the housekeeper did not rush anxiously, but stood quietly beside Nan Xiaonan.
"Uncle, I did something wrong."
Something wrong?
Did he break the vase? Or dirty the bathroom? Seeing Nan Xiaonan's confused look, the housekeeper took this problem seriously.
"May I know what mistake the young master made?"
"I..." Nan Xiaonan, a manly man, was no longer a man at this moment. It seemed that he wanted to say it but found it difficult to speak, and his fair little face turned red from holding back.
The housekeeper's heart softened. Even though he had been raised in the countryside without the company of his parents, this child was able to grow up to the point of actively admitting his mistakes. This shows that he has a pure nature.
"Young master, everyone will make mistakes. This is inevitable. Take the initiative to admit your mistakes and correct them when you know they are wrong. This is what a man does."
As soon as he heard the word "man", Nan Xiaonan instinctively felt emboldened and took a deep breath: "Yes, I am a man. A man must take the initiative to admit when he does something wrong."
The housekeeper half-crouched in front of Nan Xiaonan, looking at him levelly and listening attentively.
"Brother Feng Yi and I made an agreement, but I can't fulfill this agreement." Nan Xiaonan stretched out her little finger and made a tick in the air, "Brother Feng Yi will definitely be very sad if he finds out. I don't want Feng Yi to
My brother is sad."
Feng Yi? The steward was surprised when he heard this familiar name.
"As an upright man, you should... stick to your word, keep your word, and do what you promise, otherwise you will be a villain." Nan Xiaonan thought that every time she went out to play, her grandma would whisper in her ear, "make an appointment."
You have to come back early. If you don't come back, you won't be a man. A man must keep his promise, and a man's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold." Similar words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. His little face, which was already red, said, "I didn't mean it...
...I want to apologize to brother Feng Yi."
When the housekeeper saw Nan Xiaonan was about to cry, he immediately comforted her softly: "If you know you made a mistake, correct it and take the initiative to apologize. The other party will forgive you. If you are a man, do you know how to plead guilty?"
Seeing the confusion on Nan Xiaonan's face, the housekeeper seriously told Nan Xiaonan the story of asking for forgiveness.
Although I don't know what promise the young master made to Feng Yi, but seeing the young master's confused look, it seems that he really cares about it.
"Lian Po has been forgiven..." Nan Xiaonan half-understood what he heard, but knew that this was the work of a man. "Then is Lin Xiangru sad?"
"sad?"
"Because Lian Po did something bad to Lin Xiangru, wouldn't Lin Xiangru be sad?"
The housekeeper opened his mouth, and his heart was filled with tenderness: "No, Lin Xiangru is a generous man, so he will naturally forgive Lian Po."
“Is Lian Po a man?”
"certainly."
Nan Xiaonan thought seriously for a moment: "Then I want to learn from Lian Po, and I want to be Lian Po. Then will brother Feng Yi not be as sad as Lin Xiangru?"
"Will do."
Nan Xiaonan lowered his head and suddenly murmured: "But if I were Lin Xiangru, I would be very sad."
The housekeeper was speechless, not knowing how to respond to the young master's delicate thoughts.
"Even if Brother Feng Yi is sad, I have to apologize and try my best to make Brother Feng Yi not sad." Nan Xiaonan said to herself seriously, then suddenly raised her head, "Uncle, what is Vitex?"
The housekeeper choked for a moment, feeling that if he told the young master directly that it was a thorny plant, he might really go to plead guilty with a thorn on his back. He said tentatively: "That is a plant, but it is actually just a form.
There is no need to use vitex specifically.”
"No, if I want to plead guilty, I must have thorns." The stubborn Nan Xiaonan jumped down from the rocking chair and grabbed the steward's sleeve, "What kind of plant is it? Show me? I'm in the mountains.
I’ve seen so many plants, I definitely know where to look.”
The housekeeper began to regret why he told Nan Xiaonan such a story.
"Maybe I need some time to look for pictures..." The housekeeper planned to discuss with the two young masters what should be done about this matter, but the next moment his idea was shattered by Nan Xiaonan.
"Uncle, I have to keep this matter a secret." Nan Xiaonan said seriously, with a serious expression on her face, "We can't let our parents, eldest and second brothers know about it."
"Young Master is still young, so it would be better to discuss things with others. This is the way to prevent others from worrying."
"No, I don't want them to know."
The housekeeper sighed: "Excuse me why? Can I know the reason?"
"Brother Feng Yi and I agreed to run away from home together in the future. But last time we ran away from home, my father was very angry. My eldest brother and my second brother were also worried. My uncle also said that running away from home was a bad thing. It was my own mistake.
