Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, looked at Ji Meng beside him, and said, "If I find any good food while I'm out, I'll bring some back for Miss Ji Meng."
Ji Meng nodded and said, "I have some of Qing Dai's pastries here. A gift for you, to return the favor."
Jiang Man took the pastries and put them away, saying, "I'll save these to eat while I'm out."
By now, Qing Dai had walked over to the Old Yellow Ox and asked, "Old Huang, can you only eat grass?"
The Old Yellow Ox glanced at Qing Dai and went back to eating grass.
"I have some tea leaves here. Want some?" As she spoke, Qing Dai steeped some tea and offered it to the ox.
The Old Yellow Ox glanced at it and gave it a try.
He found the taste was quite good and began to eat.
"I snuck these from my mistress. I only share with my own," Qing Dai said earnestly. "You're the young master's Spirit Pet, and I'm the mistress's Maid."
"It's obvious we're on the same side."
"On the same team."
