Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Although they had only been in contact for two short days, Jiang Tuan had already gotten used to Ning Bai being around and used to asking him about everything. Now that he had suddenly left, it was inevitable that he felt lost.

However, he already knew that Ning Bai was the emperor's most trusted eunuch and it was impossible for him to always follow him. Being able to settle him down before leaving was already giving him face.

Patting his face to cheer himself up, Jiang Tuan decided to get to know the people who would follow him in the future.

"Ning Ling, right? How old are you this year?"

"Mr. Jiang, I am fifteen this year."

"Cough cough cough..."

After hearing Ning Ling's answer, Jiang Tuan was so exhausted that he almost choked to death: "Tell me, how old are you?"

Ning Ling didn't know why Mr. Jiang reacted so strongly when he heard her age, but she still replied respectfully: "Sir, I am fifteen this year."

Fifteen! Only fifteen! What a sin! He actually let a minor serve him. He must have a guilty conscience!

Thinking of this, Jiang Tuan immediately decided to correct this mistake: "Ning Ling, go and find Eunuch Ning for me."

"Sir, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"I can't tell you to do that! I don't want you to serve me. I want him to help me change people."

As soon as Jiang Tuan finished speaking, Ning Ling fell to her knees again.

"I have done nothing wrong. I will be punished by you, sir. Please don't chase me away."

When did I want to drive you away? I just think that it is a sin to let minors serve you!

Can we please stop kneeling and kowtowing so often? It makes me feel even less human, okay?

Jiang Tuan was almost screaming like a groundhog on the inside, but he didn't show it on his face and quickly helped the man up.

"Well, I didn't mean to chase you away! I just thought you were too young."

"I am not young anymore. I can start a family and build a career outside the palace!"

Well, Jiang Tuan found that he had taken it for granted again and should not look at ancient people with the eyes of modern people.

In his eyes, children who were not yet adults were already adults who could get married, have children, and set up their own household in ancient times.

"Oh, oh! Haha, I misunderstood, haha."

Jiang Tuan made up for himself and quickly changed the subject: "Well, your last name is Ning, and Eunuch Ning's last name is also Ning, are you two related?"

"Sir, I am an orphan who was sold to the palace. Eunuch Ning felt sorry for me and felt that he had a connection with me, so he adopted me as his godson."

Jiang Tuan wanted Ning Ling to stop calling him "Sir", but after he said he wanted to replace the person, Ning Ling became more respectful to him.

After hearing Ning Ling's life story, he could no longer express his previous thoughts.

Ning Ling's self-narration made him understand once again that this was the ancient times, where there were distinctions between high and low, and where people could be bought and sold as commodities.

If he was polite to the other party, the other party would probably be even more nervous.

Forget it, just give up! For now, let's just follow the rules here!

After asking about Ning Ling, Jiang Tuan looked at the dozen or so eunuchs and maids standing nearby and asked, "Are these serving me?"

"Yes, sir. This is only part of it. The rest will come in the next two days."

In fact, if you just want to find someone to serve, you can easily assign many people to come, but Jiang Tuan's identity is too special, so the people who serve him must be carefully selected.

Come again! So many people are just a part of it? How many people do he need to serve? No, being watched by so many people every day, without any privacy, Jiang Tuan said, he couldn't accept it.

"No need to come again. There are already quite a few of these people. By the way, do you think I can do without those maids?"

Ning Ling was reminded by her godfather that Mr. Jiang was very special, so don't be too surprised by what he said and try to figure out what he was thinking.

He was a little surprised by Jiang Tuan's words, but instead of chasing him away, he could just calmly ask the other party what he thought.

"Sir, are they bad?"

Jiang Tuan glanced at the maids and sighed silently in his heart. That was not good, it was too good, so he didn't dare to let those girls serve him.

Due to the influence of his family, he has always been respectful to women. He can accept the service of the eunuchs, at most he can just treat them as roommates he doesn't know very well, and they can help each other.

But he couldn't accept being served by a maid. After all, no school would allow boys and girls to be roommates.

Moreover, he was going home. If the Queen and Princess knew that he dared to be served by girls and indulge in the gentleness of girls every day, he would probably be beaten to death.

Of course, the above thoughts were just jokes, but he really couldn't accept being surrounded by so many girls. Call him straight or shy, he still stuck to his principles.

"They are very nice, but I am still used to being served by eunuchs!"

When saying the word "serve", Jiang Tuan felt a little helpless. In fact, he didn't want to be served by either a man or a woman, but that was definitely not possible. After weighing the pros and cons, he had to choose one.

"Okay, I understand."

Ning Bai had told Ning Ling that it was not a big deal and that she should try her best to follow Mr. Jiang's instructions. Not letting the maid serve was not a big deal and Ning Ling could handle it herself.

After taking care of the chores, Jiang Tuan can finally start making tofu and purifying salt.

The palace that Jiang Qi arranged for him was very large, with a large yard outside, which provided enough space for all the things. The next step was to prepare the materials.

Jiang Tuan first looked at the materials needed to make these two things in his mind, and found that behind the method of making tofu, there was actually a method of making a stone mill. He couldn't help but ask Ning Ling about it.

"Ning Ling, do you know about the stone mill?"

"This slave doesn't know."

After getting the answer, Jiang Tuan understood that the system knew that there was no stone mill in Daxia, and he did not know how to make a stone mill, so it gave it all at once.

If in the future when I make something, the system will even provide me with the method of making the tools, that would be so much less troublesome.

For example, if he wants to make weapons, the system will give him the methods of smelting iron and steel, but energy does not just appear!

Jiang Tuan was feeling very happy when he heard the system say, "Dear, the method of making a stone mill is indeed part of the method of making tofu, but you are not so lucky for other things. If you want them, please work hard!"

Well, Jiang Tuan has confirmed that this system just dislikes him. Whenever he is about to be happy, the system will be impatient to pour a bucket of cold water on him.

Seeing that Jiang Tuan's expression kept changing after she said she didn't know, Ning Ling immediately apologized, thinking that the other party despised her for being stupid.

"Please forgive my ignorance, sir. I really don't know."
