Chapter 134 - Visiting The Academy

Nan Hua was first confused what kind of items that Old Master Nan meant. But the next day, she came to understand what he actually meant when she saw the stack of items in front of her.

It seemed that the ancient world really has unique method....

"These are all for makeup, Miss." Xiao Yun noticed that Nan Hua was looking, so she smiled awkwardly. "Normally, only those who lived in the Red District would wear this much, but Old Master also kept it for some other uses."

Nan Hua nodded. She had never wore that much makeup in the past since normally, she would simply come and leave after finishing her task. There was no need for her to put up a disguise when she would not even appear in front of anyone.

"This one is a skin's mask. It can hide your countenance and make it different, but this one can only be used one time," Xiao Yun explained.

"Why?"

"That's because when you take off this mask, it'll usually tear. There hasn't been any good material that can be used as mask. Also, it's best if you don't do any exercise that will require you to sweat because you can't sweat when you're using this mask," Xiao Yun warned.

Nan Hua nodded. Asking them to make a very lifelike mask was very difficult. It was already good enough that she could use this one.

It seemed that having too similar face with her twin brother could be troublesome.

"Let me help you wear it, Miss."

"Alright."

In the end, it took more than an incense stick of time for Nan Hua to finish her makeup and everything. By the time she looked at the mirror, she realized that her countenance had changed completely.

If previously, she had the cute and beautiful expression of a young child who will grew to be a peerless beauty, now she looked far more ordinary. In fact, she leaned to be slightly handsome as this face mask made her look like boy more.

Though, in her age, it was quite different to differentiate between boys and girl effectively.

"How is it, Miss?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.

Nan Hua nodded. "It's good."

"That's good." Xiao Yun heaved a sigh of relief. She had worn the mask in the past, so she knew that it might be hard to adapt at first. Not to mention, it would become unbearable as time passed.

"Stay here."

"Yes, Miss."

Nan Hua walked out of her quarter and saw Nan Luo jogged in her direction. The young boy looked stunned when he saw Nan Hua but a smile soon bloomed on his childlike face. "Hua'er! You look so different!"

"Will it be suspicious?"Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

And most of the commanders on the battlefield did usually come from noble families. They were usually the second or third sons who were incapable to become officials. Most of the first sons were trained to become a scholar and only when they were utterly useless would they be aiming to become a soldier.

The opposite happened in the military family, though.

Nan Family was one of the examples as they hoped for their descendants to become a general rather than officials. It was quite unfortunate that Nan Family nearly failed to have any descendant who followed in this field.

"Do you have any class today?" Nan Hua asked.

Nan Luo shook his head. "We can attend whichever class we want. It's not a big deal since I'm from a military family."

In the past, he did have to attend every single one because Nan Shu Cheng wanted to groom him to become a scholar like him. But after he stayed with Old Master Nan, he chose to focus more on martial arts and military.

He didn't want to stay in the Capital City and be forced to contend with words.

He preferred to use his fist more than his mouth.

"I see."

"Well, there's a history class. I usually attend this one since Grandpa will not let me off if I don't know history." Nan Luo's face scrunched a bit whenever he thought of the punishment he got for skipping this one class.

Nan Hua nodded.

As the carriage stopped, Nan Luo walked out properly with Nan Hua and Xiao Yan behind him. Right now, the childish behavior that he usually posed when he was with Nan Hua had long disappeared.

He was the proper young master of Nan Family.

"First Young Master Nan, it's rare to see you visit the academy," a student greeted with a smile.

Nan Luo nodded. "I have missed a lot of class. Is Teacher Luo teaching today?"

"Yes. Teacher Luo will teach about the military condition during Emperor Xuan's era. It'll be good for you to attend the class today."

"That's good."

Nan Luo usually wanted to skip when they were talking about history of how the officials proposed the methods to increase their wellbeing or when they were talking about the cases. But since it was about military, of course he was very excited.

He wanted to hear more!

The other students talked with him as they headed to the class, but before they entered the room, someone called him from behind.

"First Brother."
