About 15 minutes later, a fine spring rain began to fall outside.
The 'spoils' brought back today were all handed over to the maids for registration and cataloging. These things can be considered a small part of Mingzhuang's property.
Although this industry came about somewhat absurdly, Mingzhuang had no reason to refuse something that was offered to him.
The pattering rain fell on the leaves outside the window, and the rustling sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves lulled me to sleep.
Mingzhuang stretched and moved his body in front of the half-open window. Rainy days are always very damp. He wondered if Jiangzhou was like that, since Mingzhuang had never been there in either his past or present life.
However, I did go to Wuzhen, which should be the traditional Jiangnan region with its small bridges, flowing water, and misty rain. I wonder if the Jiangzhou where the real Shen Jiuniang lived was like that.
After Manhuan finished registering, she came over with the booklet in her hand. When she saw her young mistress twisting and turning in front of the window, she stopped and stared at her for a moment, somewhat stunned. "Miss... are you feeling unwell?"
Mingzhuang glanced back and smiled. "No, it's just that I've been lying down too much these past two weeks, and my body is a bit stiff. Stretching around like this will make me feel much better."
Man Huan listened with skepticism, feeling that her young mistress's behavior was somewhat strange.
"Is it all written?"
Upon seeing the booklet, Mingzhuang sat down on the chaise lounge next to it and casually began to flip through the contents of the booklet.
After reading it, Shen Mingzhuang could only think that the Lin family was really rich, giving so many valuable things to their granddaughter. He wondered if his own family still had some good things left over.
"Alright, you can keep these things safe and at my beck and call anytime."
Manhuan was taken aback by the important task entrusted to her and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss, I can't do it..."
"You can do it. If I say you can, you definitely can."
Mingzhuang expressed her confidence, and it wasn't without reason. In the book, Manhuan was a very reliable maid. It was just a pity that the book was a tragic one, so Manhuan's ending was not good. Although she was loyal, she was implicated by the original owner and didn't even have a complete corpse.
Manhuan touched her nose and could only nod, "Then this servant will give it a try."
"That's more like it!" Mingzhuang nodded in satisfaction and patted Manhuan on the shoulder with a smile.
"By the way, Miss, what do you plan to do with Ruyi?"
Manhuan thought of the time when Ruyi disobeyed the third young lady and caused trouble for Cuixuan Residence. It seemed that the ninth young lady had not yet dealt with her. However, the master would not forgive a servant for making such a mistake. But they had been like sisters for so long, and even if Ruyi made a mistake, she still hoped that she could have a good ending.
"Ruyi?" Mingzhuang muttered. She hadn't figured out what to do with this person yet, but it wouldn't cause any major problems for the time being. "Let's keep her for now. Keep an eye on her and report to me if anything happens. I have my own plans for this."
Hearing this, Man Huan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her lips. She nodded to Man Huan, "This servant will keep a close eye on her and won't let her cause any trouble for Miss."
As the master and servant were talking, voices came from outside, and soon Xue Rong walked in.
"Miss Jiu, the Yuehua Courtyard requests your presence."
Is this someone from the Lin family looking for her?
Mingzhuang was somewhat surprised. They had just parted ways, so why was Lin looking for her again?
"Who is it?" Mingzhuang asked.
Xue Rong scratched her head and said, "It's Lian'er, who serves the Third Madam."
