Chapter 8 Name [Please add to collection]

Many servants who came to this courtyard to serve actually regretted it. If they had known earlier, they would have gone to Ming Fanxing's place. At least the young master would not lose his temper for every little thing. Many servants who were assigned to the young master's place privately said that it was a very good place to go.

Ming Fanxing had no idea what the servants were saying to each other. After he finished his meal and changed his clothes, he was about to go out. Mingshan hurriedly caught up and called the people behind him to clean up the table.

Ming Fanxing took a look. He had never seen this person in the courtyard before. "Is this a new face?"

Mingshan nodded. "This is a newly bought slave assigned to our courtyard."

Ming Fanxing is the soul of modern society. Although he is somewhat disgusted with the word slave, he did not say anything shocking about the equality of all people.

"Now..."

Mingshan, "Yes, Master, the New Year is coming soon. Many poor families will sell some useless or unwanted children in the family in exchange for some money to live and have a good New Year."

Ming Fanxing sighed, "Really?"

He looked at the slave who had already cleaned up the dishes. His thin body, bent waist and lowered head, one could see his inferiority at a glance.

"What's your name?"

The slave replied timidly, "Slave...slave...Erdan."

Er...Erdan?

Ming Fanxing was stunned when he heard this name, and then he realized that this should be a bad name given to him by his parents, so that he would be easy to raise.

But seeing how thin he was, he probably couldn't be kept alive, so he was sold before the Chinese New Year, so that the family could have some money, one less mouth to feed, and everyone could have a good year.

"How old are you?"

"I'm eleven years old."

Ming Fanxing was stunned for a moment. He looked so thin and small, and he was thought to be eight or nine years old. But he was already eleven, the same age as himself.

"You'll be twelve next year, Mingshan. Will aunt allow servants who are twelve years old or older to participate in the test?"

Mingshan was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Master, I'm eleven too. The head of the family said that all children who will be twelve years old next year can go. The young master can make the decision about the people in his yard, and the same goes for the young lady."

"Really? Then are there people of the same age in my yard?"

Mingshan, "No, there are only the two of us."

If Erdan hadn't been a newcomer, Mingshan would have been the only one there.

Ming Fanxing nodded, "In that case, you two should go with me next year."

Mingshan was stunned for a moment, and was ecstatic, "Long live the young master!"

Ming Fanxing reached out and knocked on his head, "Shut up, can you say long live the young master casually?"

There are countries in this world, which means that there must be an emperor. If outsiders hear it, wouldn't it be troublesome?

Mingshan quickly covered his mouth, "Young master, please forgive me."

Ming Fanxing glanced at Erdan who was standing aside, and found that he was dazed, as if he was stunned, but he seemed to have no expression at all.

He touched his chin, "Since you are going to take the test with me, it is definitely not appropriate to call you Erdan. Without a real name, I will give you a name, let's call you... Ming Yufeng."

After saying this name, Ming Fanxing himself was stunned for a moment. This name is of course good, but how did he blurt it out?

And there is nothing wrong with this name, but if other servants in the mansion know about it, this little slave will probably have a hard time.

After all, he is still just a slave.

Mingshan also thought of this, and hesitated, "Young Master, although this name is good, but..."

Ming Fanxing looked at Erdan who was a little nervous, and added, "How about this, if you find out your talent when you go to the martial arts gym for testing next year, I will give you this name, how about it?" Erdan

would not refuse, his eyes were shining, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him, "Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master..."

Ming Fanxing asked him to stand up, and Erdan slowly stood up after thanking him.

Then looking at his thin little face, Ming Fanxing nodded silently. To be honest, if you look closely at his bones, he is still good, but he looks very unhealthy due to malnutrition.

He waved his hand, "Okay, go down, Mingshan, accompany me for a walk."

The two of them left quickly, and Erdan, who stayed where he was, looked at their backs until they were out of sight, then he walked back with the dishes.

He still had to wash the dishes, chop wood, boil water, and sweep the yard. He couldn't delay his work. If nothing unexpected happened, his life would be like this.

As he walked to the back, he recalled in his mind how his father grabbed his hand tightly, dragged him to Baiyun Town, and then with red eyes, he found someone to sell him.

He glanced at his wrist. The scratches on it have not completely disappeared yet.

But... now it's different.

He didn't expect that... he would actually get the opportunity to go to the martial arts gym to test his talent.

You know, many wealthy families will never allow testing of slaves after purchasing them. After all, no matter what family it is, the attitude towards slaves is not good.

Once these slaves are tested for talent, they can obtain the status of citizens of Fengwu Country, and will no longer be slaves from then on. They may even turn around and treat their original families in the future.

Such things are not uncommon, even very common, so most families who buy slaves are reluctant to let their slaves test their talents.

Just like him...

Erdan will go back and continue his work.

He thought about what happened that day, it was really just a little bit away.

Originally... he bought it to be assigned to the young lady's yard, but when it was his turn, the young lady had just returned from outside.

One look at her showed that she was angry, with a face full of anger. He knelt down in fear, but the young lady didn't even look at him kneeling on the ground. She

just heard the people around her tell her that he was a new servant, and she directly scolded him. He still remembers what the young lady said.

"How can my yard afford so many dogs? Send them to Ming Fanxing and let him raise them. After all, he is the legitimate eldest master of the Ming family!"

The tone was sarcastic and extremely jealous.

Although he didn't look up, he could imagine that the young lady's face must be filled with jealousy and ugly.

Just like that, he was sent to the young master's yard. He originally thought that he would be driven away. After all, after this incident, he also understood a little bit of the hatred between the young master and the young lady.

He was sent by the young lady, so she would definitely not stay, right?

But after Mingshan asked the young master, he actually stayed.

He thought that the young master must know him if he kept him, but he didn't expect... The young master had forgotten about him a long time ago, but it didn't matter, he could stay in the young master's yard and serve him now.

Although working here is also tiring, it is much better than when he was at home. He has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house that doesn't leak rain or wind.
