C411: From the Mo Family
On the way to the northwest, Li Auntie took care of Madam He's daily needs, which meant that she would go shopping almost every time they passed through a city.
She noticed that in several cities near the northwest, there were adorable plush dolls being sold.
Having watched He Zhiran grow up since she was a child, Li Auntie's affection for her was no less than that of Madam He, her own mother.
She had been looking forward to seeing the young miss and wanted to bring her a gift.
When she saw those plush dolls, Li Auntie guessed that the young miss would surely like them.
But then she was taken aback when she asked about the price—twenty taels of silver for each doll!
After serving the He family for half a lifetime, it was impossible for her not to have twenty taels of silver.
However, since she was accompanying Madam He on the trip and wouldn't need any expenses along the way, she only brought a few taels of loose silver.
As a result, Li Auntie was deeply impressed by those plush dolls of various colors.
The original host of He Zhiran's soul was also very close to Li Auntie. Just now, He Zhiran was busy catching up with Madam He, and now she finally shifted her attention to Li Auntie.
He Zhiran, who came from the modern world, still held the belief in equality for all in her heart.
Pointing to the single sofas on both sides of the large couch, she said, "Auntie, you've been working hard all the way. Please have a seat and take a rest."
Li Auntie repeatedly waved her hand and said, "Young Miss, I can't do that. I'm just a servant. How can I dare to sit with the master? It would be disrespectful."
He Zhiran felt helpless facing such deeply ingrained beliefs of ancient people.
Just as she was about to say something, Old Lady Mo spoke up.
"Auntie, listen to our young miss. The Mo family is no longer a prominent household now. We're just an ordinary family, and those old customs no longer apply."
She could see that her daughter-in-law valued Li Auntie a lot, so she wanted to help.
Madam He looked at her daughter and then at her In-law. Seeing that they showed no signs of objection, she also understood that the Mo family indeed no longer adhered to so many rules.
She looked at Li Auntie, who was still standing there in an orderly manner.
"Li Auntie, since the In-law and the young miss allow it, you should sit down!"
Li Auntie was indeed a bit sore and tired, and when Madam He spoke, she didn't continue to be coy.
"Then I'll sit."
Seeing Li Auntie sitting down, He Zhiran took out a large panda plush toy and a pink long-eared rabbit plush toy from the empty space on the tea table.
"Auntie, are these the dolls you saw on the way?"
Li Auntie nodded repeatedly, "Yes, these are the dolls. They're really expensive, twenty taels of silver each."
Madam He was seeing such cute and beautiful dolls for the first time.
She asked in disbelief, "Ranran, did you say these dolls are made by the Mo family?"
"Yes, Mother. These dolls being sold in the market are all made by the Mo family."
