Breakfast [2]

Mrs. Jang had been working for the Daoming Household for years. She even saw the young mistress get married and witnessed the young master grow from a lanky teenager to a handsome young man.

For years that she had served the family. The routine had always been the same.

The servants would start their tasks at 5:30AM which includes preparing breakfast at 6:30AM for the young master and waking him up at 7AM.

Waking up the young master had always been a nightmare to everyone. Good thing it was Mr Liu's job. He had always been a moody child. From shouting in the early morning for waking him up to throwing his plate because of a not so tasty breakfast.

But those days were long gone. After the new young mistress came. Ms Shancai. She was a heaven sent. An angel in human form.

"Good morning Mrs. Jang!" Shancai greeted while breaking an egg to a pan.

Mrs Jang smiled and bowed. "Good morning, Ms Shancai. You're very early again today."

Shancai smiled and moved the eggs to a plate. "Of course. I wouldn't want my husband to miss his breakfast."

Mrs Jang nodded and helped the young wife with the preparation. "Indeed. I'm glad that the young master is not giving you a hard time waking him up."

Shancai smiled again and nodded. "He knows me. He wouldn't dare."

Mrs Jang smiled wider at this statement.

The routine was gone. The new young mistress would finally make the mansion a happy home. Everyone including herself was happy to witness this good change. She can't wait to hear sounds of pitter patters created by pairs of small feet in the future. She sniffed the morning air, "Hah...what a nice morning."
