When I heard the name, my heart sank. But when I saw the maid opened the door and gestured "please" from a distance, I had to collect my thoughts and lead Xiaowei and Xiaohui into the door.

When Chen Rong Xinyue saw me come in, she smiled at first, then looked at Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui behind me and asked, "Is this the little companion you mentioned?"

I bowed and replied, "Miss, yes, these two are my companions, Bai Yiping, nicknamed Xiaowei. Hui... Hui Zhanfeng, nicknamed Xiaohui."

I remembered that Xiao Hui didn't have a name yet, so I gave him a name based on the chivalrous novels he admired. He looked very happy with a smile on his face.

Chen Rong Xinyue smiled slightly and praised: "After all, you are from Tushan Mansion. The names of the maids and servants are so elegant. Brother Jing is so literary!"

Xiaowei was about to say that it was me who gave the name, but Xiaohui secretly pulled her sleeve and shook his head at her, so she swallowed her words.

Chen Rong Xinyue didn't notice their little move, she just turned her head to look at the maid who opened the door just now, and asked: "Yuan Zi, bring in the things that Fang Feng Yiying sent this time so I can see them."

Yuan Zi nodded and said "yes", then took the small mahogany box from the maid standing beside her, opened the lid and presented it to Chen Rong Xinyue for inspection. I took a peek and saw that it was a simple pair of gold leaf and pearl earrings.

Chen Rong Xinyue only glanced at it briefly, frowned slightly, and then said: "Yuan Zi, I'll give you this pair of earrings. Go to my dressing box and take out the East China Sea coral and flower beads gold hairpin that I bought from Rongbaozhai but haven't had time to wear yet. Pack it up and send someone to deliver it to Fangfeng Mansion, and tell Xinyue to thank Sister Yiying."

Yuan Zi stood there in a daze, looking at Chen Rong Xinyue hesitantly.

“What are you standing there for?!” Chen Rong Xinyue glared.

"I dare not accept such a great gift!" Yuan Zi explained hurriedly.

"I say whoever can accept it can accept it! Put it on now! I just want her to see what a real good thing looks like!" Chen Rong Xinyue rolled her eyes. Yuan Zi didn't dare to refuse anymore. She had to take out the earrings and replace them with the silver filigree butterfly earrings she was originally wearing.

Chen Rong Xinyue smiled again and said, "Lanxiang, Xiaowei, take a seat! Yuanzi, serve the tea! I want this year's new Biluochun. Go to the kitchen and get some Luoshen Qinghua rolls, Ruyi fruit cakes, Dengxin plum cakes, pine nut five-flavor cakes, and some seasonal fruits!"

When I heard that I wouldn't feel thirsty when telling stories today, and that I could have snacks and my salary would be greatly improved, I didn't ask for anything else. I sat down, ate and drank, and continued to tell stories for several hours. If someone hadn't knocked on the door in the middle of the story, I would have continued to tell stories until the evening.

Yuan Zi answered the door, and after opening it, she saw a slender, handsome servant standing at the door. The servant bowed and said loudly at the door: "Miss, the young master asked me to pass on a message that the second young lady of the Fangfeng family will come to visit the mansion and bother you for a few days. She is on the way and will arrive this afternoon. The young master asked if you are still living in the original house. If so, please send someone to tidy up, wipe off the dust, and repair anything that is missing. Miss Fangfeng will be the young lady of the Tushan family in the future, so don't neglect her."

Xinyue and I were both surprised and then fell silent.

After a long while, Chen Rong Xinyue finally spoke: "Just go back to your brother and tell him that you know. On the way back, tell them when you pass by the kitchen that there will be a banquet tonight and ask them to prepare first. Yuanzi, you go quickly and prepare the servants as you did last time. Why are you in such a hurry this time?! Did you know that Brother Jing is here with us? Alas, this is the time when we need people, but Rong Xin was punished and couldn't get up from the bed. My brother transferred Zhenli away, otherwise he would be the best at doing this job!"

The boy replied after hearing the words, but Chen Rong Xinyue pouted her lips, twisted her slender jade fingers, and paced back and forth on the ground.

Thousands of thoughts went through my mind. I wondered if the reason why Fang Feng Yiying came here in a hurry was really as Chen Rong Xinyue said, that she was here to develop a relationship with Tu Shanjing. If that was the case, I would definitely interfere and prevent them from meeting in advance and ruining the timeline. Otherwise, I didn't know what unexpected incidents would happen that I didn't know about, and I would be caught off guard.

Thinking of this, I stood up and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Xinyue, is there anything I can do to help? Why don't I go to her room and clean it? I used to be the young master's personal maid, and I am familiar with cleaning and arranging things."

Chen Rong's happy face showed a hint of joy, then he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed, saying, "That's great! Alas, you are a guest when you come from afar, and I shouldn't order you around. But now that you have become my brother's concubine, you are considered a member of our Chen Rong Mansion. If Fang Feng Yiying really becomes the wife of Tushan's family, she is also the mistress of your old employer, and it is your duty to help her with the cleaning. It's not that my Chen Rong Mansion doesn't have any manpower, but it just so happens that my brother also went out today and took away the servants and maids who can help. The servants who serve me in the mansion will help me dress up and clean up later, and I really can't spare too many nimble and clever servants and maids to go there. You and Yuan Zi go and watch them for me first, don't let them break things with their rough hands and feet! Otherwise, I really don't have time to dispatch or buy for her at this moment!"

I lowered my head and smiled secretly, saying, "Don't worry, young lady. You can wash and dress yourself here. I will follow Miss Yuan Zi over there and make sure everything is properly arranged. We will clean the house spotlessly inside and out, and make up for any missing items as soon as possible. We will never bring shame to the Chenrong Mansion!"

Chen Rong Xinyue said with approval: "Not only can you tell interesting stories, but you can also do your job efficiently. No wonder Brother Jing took you with him this time! You really deserve to be Brother Jing's number one maid!"

I said modestly, "Miss, you are too kind. Sister Jingye is more capable, so she was tied up in Tushan Mansion and couldn't get away. That's why I got the opportunity to come out and see you. I am blessed to see your beauty."

She raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, I know you are a sweet talker! Go quickly, do it quickly, and you will be rewarded later!"

I nodded in agreement, bowed to Xiaowei and Xiaohui, and then followed Yuanzi out the door.

I told Xiaowei and Xiaohui to go back to their rooms and not to hang around unless necessary. If they felt really lonely, they could go to Senying's room to play with her.

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Miss, you can go about your work without worry. Xiao Hui and I will go back to our room and rewrite the story we just told. He has been writing recently, and I have been grinding ink for him. I have also learned a lot of new characters!"
