Jiang Ning looked up at him.
The young man’s eyes were a bit red.
Jiang Ning secretly sighed in her heart.
The original host and He Tang were childhood friends, two innocent little ones. Maybe they admired each other when they grew up, and maybe they even made vows of eternal love.
But, she is not the original host.
She can’t remember any of their past interactions, and it’s difficult for her to respond to his deep feelings.
Seeing him teary-eyed, Jiang Ning said, “Buying pastries is always best when you do it yourself. Xiaoman, your lady is hungry and wants to eat osmanthus cake.”
Xiaoman had been following behind. Hearing this, she immediately stepped forward, bang, and stood in front of the osmanthus cake stall, slapping a copper coin in front of the owner: “Give me two!”
The owner glanced over a few times, obediently gave the osmanthus cake to Xiaoman.
Xiaoman held the osmanthus cake and returned as if she had accomplished a great feat: “My lady.”
Jiang Ning took it into her arms and laughed, “You see, I can have it whenever I want. Even if you’re not here, I can still get it. He Tang, thank you for your concern.”
He Tang said, “I once promised you that I would work hard, pass the examinations, and serve the Imperial Court. Rest assured, I will always remember your words and let you see the day when I top the honor roll!”
Having said that, he left with his books.
Jiang Ning thought to herself, she didn’t expect the original host to have such a positive influence.
She had stirred this young man’s blood and determination.
It’s just a pity that the little girl he loved is already dead and can no longer witness the day when his name is on the honour roll.
Huang Ying asked, “My lady, do you want to continue wandering around?”
“Go get the candied hawthorn.”
“Take it?”
“Yes, take them all.”
Huang Ying was puzzled but still instructed Xiaoman to go.
Xiaoman thought they were going to snatch them and was quite excited.
But when she approached the old man, he quickly handed her the entire candied hawthorn stick.
Xiaoman:”??”
Is robbery really this easy?
She carried the stick back.
Huang Ying burst into laughter and picked a string to give to Jiang Ning, “It’s not easy for the old man. Is it really okay for us to take them without paying? If word gets out, people will say that the Jiang Family’s daughter is bullying the weak.”
“Do you think the old man is stupid? If no one gave him money, would he give you the candied hawthorn? Someone has already paid for them.”
“Who?”
“You’ll know when we get back.”
Jiang Ning told Xiaoman, “Carry the candied hawthorn, everyone at Crystal
Clear Manor gets a share.”
“This servant understands!”
Xiaoman carried the candied hawthorn like a victorious general, attracting countless gazes from the front courtyard to the central gate, and then to the back courtyard.
When someone asked her for some, she said, “Only people of Crystal Clear
Manor can eat this, are you one of them?”
“Did the Princess Consort buy it especially for you to eat?”
“No, the Princess Consort snatched it for us to eat.”
Xiaoman proudly told the “truth”.
People’s eyes were filled with various expressions.
Although the Princess Consort acted strangely, she treated the servants of Crystal Clear Manor really well.
In contrast, the Palace Maids and Attendants in their courtyard appeared gentle and soft-spoken, but were actually harsh.
Xiaoman distributed the candied hawthorns to everyone in Crystal Clear Manor, and the bamboo stick that held the hawthorns was re-inserted after they were eaten.
She asked Yun Dai, “What do we do with this wooden stake?”
“Return it to its original owner, send it to Misty Cloud Pavilion.”
Xiaoman was a bit single-minded and strictly followed her lady’s words without deviation.
So, she really took the wooden stake to Misty Cloud Pavilion.
People in Misty Cloud Pavilion knew her as the strong and sturdy maid by the Princess Consort’s side, who not only had great strength but also a not very smart head.
Aside from the Princess Consort’s words, she wouldn’t listen to anyone else.
Therefore, the rest of the people in the residence tried their best not to provoke her.
Who would reason with a fool? Besides, she had such great strength and high martial skills.
Xiaoman had no trouble along the way, and she stuck the wooden stake right in the middle of Misty Cloud Pavilion’s courtyard..
