FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 2516  Song Yi Liang and Song Yi Nan

When Nan Hua asked, Song Yi Liang’s body stiffened. While Song Yi Liang learned a lot of things from his father as he aimed to become an official and scholar, he didn’t know much about flowers. When his mother brought him here, he didn’t pay much attention to her explanation about the names and variety of the flowers.

Because in his eyes, these plants looked exactly the same. Seeing his troubled look, Nan Hua could guess that Song Yi Liang didn’t know and didn’t plan to make things difficult to him. But before she could change the conversation, there was a childish voice answering her. “I know.”

Nan Hua turned to look at Song Yi Nan, who was only 4 years old. He raised his head and his big eyes were staring straight at Nan Hua, full of innocence yet also some solemnity for what he had just said. Crouching in front of Song Yi Nan, Nan Hua asked, “Do you really know the names of these plants?”

“Yes.” Song Yi Nan nodded. “Mother always told many stories about the plants, so I can remember the names.”

“Can you tell me?”

“Can!”

With that, Song Yi Nan excitedly told Nan Hua about these plants’ name and also the few stories that his mother made up to him. His eyes were shining brightly and it was clear that he was very happy to show off his knowledge to Nan Hua.

While some names were pronounced wrong, but they were still correct in overall.

Nan Hua looked at Song Yi Nan in surprise.

For a moment, she felt that she had some guesses why her master was interested in taking her as disciple at that time. Because she has good knowledge about herbs and was able to make simple medicines to deal with some emergencies.

Her previous life was spent in the wilderness where she had to take care of herself.

It was through those experiences that Nan Hua was able to build herself to become a powerful person.

And the child in front of her was able to identify these similar looking plants. Without keen enough observation, it would have been impossible for Song Yi Nan to do this.

“Can you read and write, Yi Nan?” Nan Hua asked when Song Yi Nan took a break after saying a lot of names and description.

“I can…” Song Yi Nan was a bit hesitant at this time and looked at his older brother. “But there are still many words I don’t know.”

Every children would start to learn how to read and write when they were young. But the words given to them were still the simplest word. After all, there were many words in this language and children’s memory was limited.

Song Yi Nan was only able to memorize a limited number of people. Nan Hua nodded and patted Song Yi Nan’s head. “In that case, can you write the name of the plants and their description?”

“I can.” Song Yi Nan nodded again. If it was only this much, then he could still do it. After all, for Song Yi Nan, it was not that difficult to identify the plants and write about them. Beside him, Song Yi Liang looked at his younger brother thoughtfully.

He had long known that Song Yi Nan liked to play in the garden and always asked many questions to their mother. For Song Yi Liang, he was not very interested in these things and would not purposely learn them.

But if he was asked to write the words about them, then Song Yi Liang could say that he could do it. “Can I see it?” Nan Hua asked again.

“Do you want to see it?” Song Yi Nan tilted his head in confusion.

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll show it to Sister Madam Long!” Song Yi Nan answered cheerfully.

Hearing his way of addressing her, Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She knew that she didn’t look very old, but the people in this era were used to respect the nobility and when they were with others, they would pay close attention to their way of addressing others.

Song Yi Nan should be confused how to address her.

If he used the word ‘sister’ it seemed to be impolite.

But if he used the word aunt, it didn’t seem to be correct either. “It should be Young Madam Long, Yi Nan,” Song Yi Liang corrected his younger brother first. Some people could call Nan Hua with the title ‘Madam Long’ or ‘Young Madam Long.’

Even if Song Yi Liang didn’t know many nobility, but his father had already taught him how to address them. Of course, whether he could recognize the other party was another question. Anyway, it was not that important.

Song Chuan had no interest to bring his children to meet with many other people from the court.

It was still too early for them. “Young Madam Long,” Song Yi Nan repeated obediently.

Nan Hua nodded and then said, “Let’s go to your study room.”

“Yes!”

There were a few servants around and they quickly helped to carry the little boy. After all, Song Yi Nan was indeed a bit tired after running around to introduce the plants and show off their description to Nan Hua. But even when he was being carried, Song Yi Nan was still looking in Nan Hua’s direction. To be honest, Nan Hua’s expression was still relatively indifferent. But the coldness that seemed to be ingrained into her bones were not visible at all. She looked no different from the beautiful sister that one could see on the street.

Of course, the beauty was indeed several level higher than many others. With the fact that Nan Hua could now take care of herself well… her innate beauty could easily make many women jealous. “Young Madam Long is very beautiful,” Song Yi Nan murmured in a low voice.

Song Yi Liang, who heard his brother’s words, glared at Song Yi Nan. It was impolite to say such things so blatantly in front of others.
