Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack
Chapter 499: Traveling Through Time and Being a Slave (1)
"A Ning, what do you think of this straw-woven pen holder? It's my favorite thing, so I'll give it to you. You don't have to thank me too much. You know, I never treat you as a slave. In my eyes, we are all equal, you and I are like brothers. I can share anything I love with you. During the festival two days ago, you did a good job, and the lady gave each of you two taels of silver as a reward, but I think these yellow and white things are cold. If you take them, it means you are a servant in the mansion. How can they be compared with my favorite things? Only by getting this kind of thing can it be proved that you and I are not outsiders."
As soon as Ning Ning walked through, there was a recliner in front of her. A young man in casual brocade clothes was sitting leisurely on the recliner, rocking leisurely and talking to Ning Ning.
He probably thought what he said was very interesting, and after he finished speaking he winked at Ning Ning playfully and smiled smugly.
Ning Ning took a deep breath and looked at the fan in her hand.
What he actually wanted to say was, you keep saying that we are equal and you don't treat me as a slave, so don't sit here so leisurely and let me serve you and fan you!
Are there truly equal friends like this?
And his so-called favorite things, which could be bought in a truckload for hundreds of dollars, were not his favorite things at all. He just bought some when he was happy during an outing.
After buying it, he threw it aside and never cared about it again. Unexpectedly, it was dug out again and he became his favorite.
Ning Ning was silent for a moment, then took the pen holder and said, "Thank you, young master."
"Hey, why are you calling me that again? Of course, I know that I can be on equal terms with you, and you are very grateful to me, but since we are equals, I will allow you not to call me Master in private. Do you remember?"
"Remember. Then... are we really all equal? I, Da Liu who drives the carriage for the mansion, Feng Wu who pours night fragrance, Wang Ergou in the kitchen, and Li Mo in the study, are we all equal? Are we all the same as you, young master?"
The young man in front of him frowned barely noticeably, but then smiled, "Of course it's the same. All men are born equal. You are not inferior to me, and I am not superior to you. As for you, of course you are even more equal. It's not that working in the study or kitchen is respectable, and driving a carriage or pouring night fragrance is vulgar. It's just a different division of labor. In fact, it's all the same. I've been talking to you for so long, and you've finally made some progress."
He nodded as if he was satisfied. "You can go down. I don't need it for the time being. You can go back and have a rest."
Ning Ning bowed and left.
Then, Ning Ning returned to the servants' room. When Da Liu saw the pen holder Ning Ning was holding, he smiled and said, "Oh, did the Second Young Master give you something again? The box he gave you is almost full! You are worthy of being his personal servant. The Second Young Master really loves you."
As he spoke, the servants who were resting in the room all laughed.
Everyone knew that the things that the Second Young Master gave to Ning Ning as rewards were worthless, so they would not be jealous and would only make good-natured jokes.
Unexpectedly, Ning Ning's face turned bitter. "Second Young Master said that this thing can replace the Madam's reward money. He said that giving money is too unrighteous. Only giving something you love is a sign of friendship. Oh, he also said that we are all equal. We are all the same, but we have different divisions of labor. So the reward money can be replaced with this thing. Anyway, he has plenty of such small things."
"What?!"
Liu immediately glared, "This thing is not good for food or drink, what do I need it for! Everyone knows that my wife is not in good health, and she is waiting for me to give her money to buy medicine. Withholding the reward money is like asking for our lives!"
"That's right," Wang Ergou, who worked in the kitchen, was also anxious. "I have to save money to support my brother's education. How can he just give me such a thing? The reward money was given by my wife. Why did he deduct it?!"
"He is still a young master, but he still wants our money! Who would want to be equal to him? He is the young master and we are the slaves. We have to serve him. How can we be equal?"
"No, I have to ask him for justice! It's unreasonable to not pay for the work done!"
Feng Wu was in a bad temper and had already jumped up. "I'm going to seek justice. I don't believe there is no place to seek justice in this mansion. Are you going with me?!"
"Go! Let's go together! Two taels of silver is not a small amount, why should we let others take it without even saying anything?"
As they talked, everyone stood up, walked around the corridor, and strode into the second young master's yard.
The second young master was resting. When he saw so many people doing rough work in his yard suddenly enter his room, he was stunned. "I didn't call you. Who let you in? Ning Ning, what are they doing here?"
Ning Ning, "Everyone knows that the young master does not treat them as outsiders and regards them as equals, so he will not give out rewards, but will give everyone his favorite things."
“No, I don’t have this…”
"Hmm? Didn't the young master say that we are all equal? The same goes for them, no matter what job they do in the mansion, they are all equal. That means we have to deduct the reward money equally and replace it with the young master's favorite things."
Ning Ning looked innocent, but those men were angry.
"We are not worthy of being called 'equal' to the young master. The money was given by the Madam. It was only because we serve the second young master that the money was allocated to this courtyard. Please, the second young master, give it to us so that we can support our family."
"Yes, giving us the silver reward is Madam's grace. If it is deducted, we will not be able to feel Madam's grace. My family depends on my silver for food and clothing. I hope that the second young master will be kind and not cut off our livelihood!"
"The young master's favorite things are neither good for food nor drink. We are all rough people, unlike the young master who has studied, and we don't understand elegance. It is useless for us to have them. Please do a good deed and give us something that we can really use."
These people's voices were louder than each other, and they made the Second Young Master sweat.
It would not be a good thing if this word got to the ears of other masters. He was a bastard, not the lady's biological son, and the lady treated him coldly.
If this matter gets out, he will definitely think that I am mistreating my servants, and I will be punished!
Maybe her lady would think that she is dissatisfied with her and punish her in various ways, and she would have a hard time in the future.
So he waved his hands quickly, "Everyone, listen to me, Ning Ning misheard. Uh, that's right, I said I would give these beloved things to you, because you have worked hard to serve me, but I didn't say that you can use them to pay for the reward. Of course, the silver will still be given, uh, I will give it to you right away, right away, don't make a fuss anymore."
