Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 154:
Striding Through the Capital
Helian Rongjiu paused, "Each time, all kinds of vegetables combined, a total of thirty kilograms should be delivered to me."
Last time, asking Jingxuan to bring him cherries every time he attended court was troublesome enough, and these various vegetables, although he fully trusted Jingxuan, he didn't completely trust the servants at the Ministry of Rites.
For imported goods, he found it more reassuring to have his people handle it in the long run.
Murong Lingran was overjoyed. This way, their family wouldn't be so exhausted. She quickly agreed, "That's settled then."
Helian Rongjiu pulled a wooden waist token from his waist and handed it to her, looking confident. "In the future, when you encounter trouble, just show this waist token. I guarantee you can stride through the capital without any hindrance."
Although revealing this token might expose his identity, he wasn't planning to hide it from her forever. Let her know when she knew.

Murong Lingran carefully examined it. There was a carved character "令" (command) on it, surrounded by patterns she couldn't understand. Hesitating, she said, "Ninth Young Master, you already gave me a jade pendant last time. About that jade pendant..."
Should she return it?
That jade pendant?
Seeing her expression, Helian Rongjiu knew what she was thinking. With a wry smile, he shook his head, "That jade pendant is just worth some money. I used it to play with and doesn't represent my identity. Only those close to me recognize it. I gave it to you back then because Jingxuan gave too little silver, and it was an additional thank-you to your family. Just keep it. There's no reason for me to take back something I personally gave away."
Murong Lingran sighed in relief. The emperor-green jade pendant was too precious to return.
She put the waist token into her bag and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Ninth Young Master."
At that moment, Ze Yuan suddenly handed him a letter. Helian Rongjiu, after reading it, expressed regret, "I thought I had nothing to do today and planned to go hunting in the mountains. However, there's an urgent matter at home, so I have to take my leave now."
Murong Lingran was delighted to see him leave and smiled, "That's a pity. Ninth Young Master, take care, and I won't send you off."
Helian Rongjiu could tell from her smile that her words didn't match her feelings. However, he had no time to bother with her. He left the enclosure, mounted the large horse brought by Ze Yuan, and galloped away.
Murong Lingran returned to the bamboo house in a joyful mood.
At the door, Murong Zhe had been waiting for his daughter. Seeing her return alone, he asked in confusion, "A’Ran, why are you alone?"
"Ninth Young Master received an urgent letter and had to return home first."
Murong Zhe nodded, "What did you discuss with Ninth Young Master?"
"I didn't say much. I just asked him to take care of our vegetable business in the future, considering our acquaintance. That's all."
Murong Zhe and his brothers exchanged glances. Was it really that simple?
Seeing their disbelief, Murong Lingran took out the waist token, "Really, look, this is the waist token he gave me."
Murong Zhe was stunned, looking at the prominent character "令" and the delicate patterns around it. Excited, he said, "A’Ran, this... Ninth Young Master really gave it to you personally?"
"Yes." Murong Lingran smiled, "I can't possibly snatch it, right?"
Murong Zhe thought what she said made sense, earnestly instructing, "A’Ran, keep it safe. Don't lose it, understood?"
