The Peerless Servant

Huo Chenan had very few memories of the second young lady of the Su family. He only knew that she had been weak and sick since she was a child and rarely went out to see people. He got the instructions from the eldest young lady and made a tomato scrambled egg for the second young lady at breakfast the next day. But what Huo Chenan didn't expect was that when he saw the second young lady of the Su family, he was stunned. The reason was that the second young lady of the Su family looked exactly like Huo Chenan's first love in his previous life. No wonder he felt familiar with Su Linglong. It turned out that there was a bit of similarity between their eyebrows. The second young lady of the Su family was also a standard beauty. She had grown into a graceful beauty at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but her complexion was not very good. You could see her sickness at a glance. Her overall temperament could be described by a poem, "If she is sick, she is three points better than Xi Shi." "Ruyi?" Huo Chenan called out uncertainly. Ruyi was the name of his first love. The maidservant next to him was immediately upset. "How can you be so rude? How can you call the young lady by her name?" What he didn't expect was that the two of them even had the same name! "I'm sorry, Second Young Lady." "It's okay. I don't know why I feel close to you as soon as I see you. Ahem, ahem." Su Ruyi started to cough. "Second Young Lady, are you okay?" The little maidservant hurried forward to check. Huo Chenan also wanted to check forward but was glared back by the little maidservant. "It's okay, Xier, it's an old illness." Huo Chenan saw at a glance that the girl had chronic pneumonia, which was called tuberculosis in this era. It was indeed difficult to cure with the medical technology of this era. "Young Lady, please have your meal first." Huo Chenan said as he took out the scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the food box. "What is this?" So Huo Chenan explained the scrambled eggs with tomatoes to Su Ruyi again. "You know a lot." Su Ruyi smiled on her pale face. This smile, like the sun in winter, melted all the ice in Huo Chenan's heart. He seemed to have returned to that youthful age, and mustered up his courage to ask her to borrow half a piece of eraser. "Second Miss, can I come to talk to you when I'm free?" Huo Chenan had already made up his mind at this time that he must not miss the regret of the last life again in this life. "Sure, I'm also very happy to talk to others!" At this time, the girl's smile perfectly overlapped with the beautiful figure in his memory, which made Huo Chenan's heart restless for a long time. "Second Miss, I must cure your illness." He stared at Su Ruyi's eyes and said firmly. For some reason, Su Ruyi was particularly kind to this servant. She was willing to believe what Huo Chenan said, even if it was just an illusory promise. "Cough, cough, cough" Su Ruyi coughed violently again while speaking. After waiting for Su Ruyi to finish her breakfast and talking to her for a while, Huo Chenan stood up and left when he saw that the time was almost up. He still had to go to the foreigners to negotiate with the eldest lady. Now he wanted to take Zhang San to the market to purchase medicinal materials and ingredients. He wanted to make medicinal food for Su Ruyi. After all, medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements. Soon Huo Chenan took the eldest lady to the agreed place, and Rodriguez was waiting there early. Several people found a teahouse and started to negotiate. "Dear Ms. Su, I believe your servant has told you that I want to purchase some silk, tea, and porcelain." "I know all this. What I want to know is, how much do you want?" "1,000 pieces of silk, 500 kilograms of tea, and 1,000 sets of porcelain." Hearing Huo Chenan's translation, Su Linglong's eyes were filled with small money. "No problem, the total price is about thirty thousand taels. I wonder how Mr. Rodriguez plans to pay?" Rodriguez took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and revealed a sparkling stone inside. "Diamonds", Huo Chenan recognized it at a glance. "Have these guys been to Africa?" "Mr. Rodriguez, the value of these diamonds is difficult to assess. I need some time to find a friend to assess them." Rodriguez had no objection. So Su Linglong took the samples to find a friend for appraisal, while Huo Chenan accompanied Rodriguez. "An, your master is such a beautiful woman, no wonder you are reluctant to leave her." After Su Linglong left, the two chatted. "My friend, I wonder if you have heard of potatoes and corn?" "I have heard about them from my sailing friends." "That's great, I want to buy some potatoes and corn, as well as seeds of peppers, spices, etc. The price is negotiable." "No problem, my friend, I will definitely bring them to you next time I come." Soon, Su Linglong rushed back. Their deal was also successfully concluded. Su Linglong earned 100 diamonds from the foreigner with tears in her eyes. After sending Rodriguez away. Huo Chenan took Zhang San to purchase medicinal materials and food ingredients. Relying on the memory of later generations and his own knowledge of pharmacology as a doctor of engineering, Huo Chenan quickly bought all the necessary items. After returning to the Su Mansion, Huo Chenan went into the kitchen without stopping. Not long after, a pot of Sichuan Fritillary Snow Pear Loquat Soup was brought to the second lady's villa. "It's so sweet! It tastes much better than those bitter medicines." Su Ruyi said happily. Taking advantage of the second lady, the little maid Xier also drank a bowl, and her attitude towards Huo Chenan immediately became much more friendly. Otherwise, how can you conquer a person's heart by conquering his stomach first! "If you like it, I will cook it for you every day." "Okay. I don't even know your name yet!" "My name is Huo Chen'an." "Chen'an, what does it mean?" "God gave me life, and I am here? It actually means that luck has come." "I think you are very talented." The two chatted for a long time, until it was time for dinner, and Huo Chen'an had to leave. Su Ruyi's coughing symptoms were relieved a lot after drinking Sichuan Fritillary Snow Pear Loquat Soup. For dinner that day, Huo Chen'an also made a special medicinal meal for the second young lady. ... The next day. Huo Chen'an brought breakfast to the second young lady early again. "Brother Chen'an, you said yesterday that the Monkey King Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the underworld. What happened afterwards?" Su Ruyi and Huo Chen'an also became familiar with each other, and it was very natural to call him Brother Chen'an. "Okay, okay, let me continue. The King of Hell and the old Dragon King of the East Sea went to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint..." Huo Chenan told the little girl the story of Journey to the West in a very moving voice. Su Ruyi and her little maid listened with great interest.
