Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

<Song Family Residence>

The next day, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua came to the Song Family Residence to take a look at Song Yi Nan's progress.

Long Qian Xing found Song Chuan to talk about the trade progress while Nan Hua found Song Yi Nan to see how he was doing. Today, Song Yi Liang had a class, so he didn't accompany his younger brother to see Nan Hua.

Besides, Song Yi Liang had to say that he was not interested in Song Yi Nan's study.

"Teacher, I've finished memorizing," Song Yi Nan said after he saw Nan Hua coming. In the past week, he basically spent most of his time studying the book that Nan Hua gave to him. It took him a long time to memorize everything but because he was determined and also interested, he managed to do it.

"In that case, I'll give you a test," Nan Hua said slowly.

"Yes!"

For the next incense stick of time, Nan Hua asked the questions related to the content of the book that she gave to Song Yi Nan and found that Song Yi Nan really did memorize everything.

It was clear that this brat's ability was really strong.

Because there were many people who wouldn't be able to memorize that book, especially because Song Yi Nan was only 4 years old.

Nan Hua looked at the brat and said, "You have high concentration."

Most children would have their attention diverted easily by various things. It was not easy for them to concentrate and this has to be trained ever since they were young.

"Yes?" Song Yi Nan tilted his head in confusion.

"When did you learn how to write?" Nan Hua asked.

"After I turn 3," Song Yi Nan replied.

3?

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and felt that children in this era truly grew up very quickly. Then again, she had completely forgotten when she and Nan Luo started to learn how to write but she knew that Feng Ao Qian also learned to read and write when he was young.

For the children of the nobility, these children had to start their training ever since they were young. Because of this, they have better memorization ability and so on.

But this didn't mean that they would study all day long.

Song Chuan arranged for them to study from half an incense stick of time to one incense stick of time. Slowly but surely, the time for these to study would be increased until they could study from morning to night.

Song Yi Liang himself also learned for a long period of time.

Nan Hua nodded. "You passed the test."

Song Yi Nan's eyes lit up. "Can I call Teacher as Master now?"

"Yes, you can." Nan Hua rubbed Song Yi Nan's head again and then said, "I have to go for a few months. During this winter, I want you to memorize a few books and if possible, try to find the plants."

"Find the plants?" Song Yi Nan was stunned. "Can I ask my father?"

He didn't know where to find the plants and the only thing he knew was that he could ask his father to search for it.

"You can." Nan Hua nodded.

"I understand, Master." Song Yi Nan nodded happily.

Since Nan Hua had decided to teach Song Yi Nan everything, she started to tell him a few more things.

The first thing that she wanted to let Song Yi Nan learn was the numerous herbs and plants along with their uses. There were so many of them, including those that she found outside of Cheng City's area, so there would be a few more books for Song Yi Nan to learn.

Once he had memorized them, Nan Hua would teach him how to combine the effect of the herbs together and the difference in various doses.

Only after he had solid foundation would she start teaching other things.

As Nan Hua made her plans in her mind, she still taught Song Yi Nan unhurriedly.

…

Later on, Long Qian Xing heard about Nan Hua's decision but said nothing about it.

The two of them left Cheng City the next day and some of their servants followed them, including Lou and Chu Yue. Even though Nan Hua wanted to give them a few more days off, the two of them only wanted to follow them.

So they were given the permission.

With Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing leaving, Old Madam Long sighed deeply. "It's getting lonely here."

With Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing around, it was a bit more lively. Even though the two of them were not children who would make trouble all the time, but their presence alone was more than enough to make the residence a bit more noisy.

Now, Old Madam Long sighed again.

"Old Madam, Old Master Nan is here."

Old Madam Long, who just thought that the world would be lonely, was speechlessly. Her face turned black and she looked at the entrance. "What are you doing here again, you old man?"

"Don't be so hostile to me." Old Master Nan rolled his eyes when he saw Old Madam Long looked like she was eager to kick him out. "I'm here to tell you to take care of my granddaughter if she comes back earlier."

"She's my granddaughter in law, so I will naturally take care of her." Old Madam Long snorted and then frowned. "Are you going out?"

"My grandson is about to get married and I'm going to help him arrange it." Old Master Nan grinned.

He heard that Great General Wei would return after Emperor Yang Zhou's inauguration and during this period of time, Nan Luo was staying in Great General Wei's territory. There was no need to guess and Old Master Nan was sure that Nan Luo was using this time to get close to his future wife.

But it was impossible for him to do nothing.

He had to help Nan Luo to arrange the ceremony and everything.
