Today, Hong Fei watched over the courtyard, while Lv Cui accompanied Ruan Shiniang to attend a banquet. When the two young maids in the courtyard saw Ruan Shiniang return, they smiled and asked, "Miss, what delicious things did you bring back?"
They were just two little girls of about eleven or twelve. Because they were fairly loyal, Ruan Shiniang would always share any goodies with them, and though life was a bit meager, the master and servants got along happily.
"Look at you gluttons! Lv Cui, give them the roast chicken and pastries. It's been more than half a month without any meat; I've really let you down!"
Hearing this, the two little maids quickly waved their hands, "Miss, please don't say that. Here we can eat our fill and keep warm, and you don't hit or scold us. We're truly blessed servants!" They were not servants assigned by the Household Affairs but were purchased later, coming from poor families.
