Fragrant willow catkins

Ningxu: "I will go back home after lunch. I will take the important things with me. If I can't take them with me, I will leave them with you. Is that okay with you?" Ningxu bought a lot of rare things these days, such as dressing mirrors, jewelry boxes, clothes and shoes. She was going to work, not moving, so it was better not to take some things with her.

Boss He: "What's the point of saying it won't work? From now on, you should treat this place as your home! I will keep your room for you forever. If the mansion is on holiday, remember to come back often. The neighbors just came to ask me if you were selected. They all care about you very much."

"Boss He..." Ningxu was so moved that she almost cried. She hadn't received any care from her elders for more than a year. She was really grateful that Boss He could treat her like this. "You are my second parents! I will definitely honor you when I make money tomorrow!"

Boss He: "Oh hahaha, what are you talking about? If you make money, just keep it for yourself. I, He, have a daughter. You don't need to worry about the filial piety."

"Boss He, you have a daughter? Why haven't I seen her in all these days?"

"She's married." Boss He's face was filled with joy as he talked about his daughter. "I'll introduce you to her when she gets home."

"okay!"

Ningxu said she wanted to have lunch before leaving, so Boss He went to the kitchen to work, wanting Ningxu to have a good meal before entering the palace. Although the treatment in Prince Mo's palace was good, she was still a maid once she entered, and she should not be able to have whatever she wanted.

Ningxu waited in the store for a while and saw no customers coming, so she went upstairs to pack her things. Boss He said that this room would be reserved for her, so she only needed to bring some clothes to change. She had to bring the clothes she wore when she first came to this world, as well as the purse given to her by "Li Jinze". She poured out all the silver and put it into her newly bought purse. The purse given to her by "Li Jinze" looked like it was used by a wealthy family, and it was outlined with gold thread, which would make people mistakenly think that she was a daughter of an aristocrat. Moreover, she went to the Mo Palace to be a maid, and with such a purse in her hand, it would be easy for people to mistakenly think that she was stealing from her master.

She tied her purse to her belt. There were only a few clothes in her bag, and she left the rest with Boss He. It was almost noon, and Ningxu could smell the fragrance of food from afar.

As soon as Ningxu took her bag and went to the first floor, she saw a table full of dishes. She walked towards Boss He and put all the silver in her hand into his.

"Rumeng, what are you doing?"

Ningxu: "Boss He, although you have your own daughter to honor you, I still have to give this. I left some in my purse, all of this is for you. It's not good for me to bring so much silver to Prince Mo's mansion, lest others think I stole the money."

"Well...then treat this money as something you deposit with me. I'll keep it for you first."

Ningxu neither agreed nor refused, she sat down and ate the food. Anyway, she would not ask for the money back, this was her gift to Boss He. And this was "Li Jinze's" money, she had no loss anyway.

Ningxu: I’m such a clever little fellow.

After dinner, Ningxu said goodbye to Boss He. She didn't rush back to the mansion, but went to buy the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she promised to bring to Zhu'er. But she underestimated her spending level. When she returned to the mansion again, it happened to be the closing time of Prince Mo's mansion. She slipped in through the crack of the door and was bumped into by the housekeeper.

Ningxu: "Hello, housekeeper!"

"Yes, it's Rumeng. Why are you back so late?" The housekeeper looked at Ningxu carrying large and small bags of food in her hands and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, is this girl going to bankrupt Prince Mo's Mansion by eating too much?

"Oh, I just had dinner at my dad's house."

"Daddy?"

"Well, I just recognized him today, and he treats me very well." Where did the father come from? This was purely made up by Ningxu. She couldn't just say that she had lunch and walked around the street for the whole afternoon. Who could afford such a spendthrift maid?

"Is that so? Then go back quickly and remember not to be late tomorrow."

Ningxu: "Okay!" Ningxu ran to the dormitory happily after hearing this. The people in Yonghe Continent are much kinder than those in modern times. Even her superiors didn't ask her to do anything else when they saw her during non-working hours, and they cared about her. It was great~

As there were too many things in her hands, Ningxu could only kick the door open with her feet, "Zhu'er, I'm back."

Seeing her like this, Zhuer quickly put down her work and took the things from her. Their room was very simple. On the left hand side of the door were two beds put together, with a small round table in the middle where one could eat or do embroidery, and on the right was a wardrobe and a washstand.

"Sister Rumeng, you bought so many things?"

Ningxu threw the bag on the bed and sat down at the table. "Yes, here, this is your osmanthus cake, this is a roast chicken, this is a meat bun, and this is a sugar man. I haven't eaten yet, so I thought of bringing them back to eat with you." Ningxu placed the things on the table one by one, almost all of them were food.

Zhu Er was stunned when she saw this. In her family, these delicious foods were always given to her brothers. She had never seen so many delicious foods filling up the entire table. "Sister Rumeng, how much does this cost?"

Ningxu: "Not much, eat it. I'm very familiar with the bosses who sell these. They don't charge much."

"That's great." Zhu'er then picked up the osmanthus cake with confidence and tasted it carefully.

After dinner, Ningxu went out to wash up, and Zhu'er continued to work on her embroidery. When Ningxu finished washing, she told her gossip. There was a special room in the yard for maids to wash, but they had to fetch water and boil it themselves. After taking a bath, Ningxu returned to the room, and Zhu'er mysteriously blew out the other candles in the room and only took one candlestick to go to bed.

The two of them wrapped themselves in the quilt and sat face to face around the candlestick, which really was a bit like telling a ghost story.

Zhu'er: "Sister Rumeng, where do you want to start listening?"

Ningxu: “All~”

Zhu Er: "Okay. The Tianle Dynasty has been established for more than 600 years, and the Mo family is the only one that was crowned a prince based on military merits. The position of prince has been passed down from generation to generation. The current prince Mo is Old Master Mo, but the one who is in charge of the Mo family is the eldest master."

Ningxu: "So this so-called prince is just a title?"

Zhu'er: "Yes, it is the eldest master who entered the court as an official. Old Master Mo is now in seclusion. It is said that the Mo family has a set of top-secret swordsmanship that is never passed on to outsiders. This old master Mo has two sons, the eldest son Mo Wu and the second son Mo Wen. The division of labor between the two masters is also very clear. Because the eldest master is a martial arts expert and a general who protects the country, he is responsible for court affairs, and the Mo family's family industry is in charge of the second master who is good at business."
