On another side of town, Feng Jiu was seated deep in thought with her head resting on one hand, with no one knowing what was going through her mind.
Even when Leng Shuang returned, she did not even notice it.

“Mistress?”

“Hmm?” She snapped back to attention and seeing Leng Shuang standing beside her, she asked: “You guys are back? Did you manage to pick someone?”

“Yes, Young Master bought five of them and I am here to bring Mistress to the front courtyard.”

“Mm.” She then put on her face veil, and walked slowly to the front courtyard.

When Guan Xi Lin saw her, he dashed over in a hurry and said: “Little Jiu, you’re here.
Come see.
I’ve bought five of them and one of them is even a cook.” After saying that, he turned and said to the several people standing there: “All of you raise your heads to let my little sister have a look at you.”

“Yes.”

They all chorused before the lifted up their heads nervously.
When they saw the clean and spritely girl standing before their eyes, the several people were quickly mesmerized but they did not dare to impetuously stare at her too much and quickly lowered their eyes after glancing at her once.

Feng Jiu’s gaze swept over the group of people and after measuring them up, she asked: “What are your names?”

“As the Mistress’ servants, I implore for our Mistress to name us.” The slightly more elderly cook among them spoke.
As they were sold into this household, they would henceforth belong to this Family and they would naturally not be able to use the names they had in the past.

“Then we’ll use Qing as the denomination and Ping, An, Ru, Yi to be chosen among yourselves.
As for the cook, we’ll just call you Mother Qing!” [Translator’s Note: 平安如意 read as Ping, An, Ru, Yi is just a auspicious term loosely translated would mean: safe and smooth sailing.]

“We thank Mistress for giving us our names.” They all chorused curtsying slightly at the knees.

She nodded and then said to Guan Xi Lin beside her: “Big Brother, let Leng Shuang make the arrangements for their accommodations and explain to them about the rules.
I am feeling a little tired after going out today and I’m going back to my room to rest.”

Alright, you just go ahead.” Guan Xi Lin nodded to watch her leave before he asked Leng Shuang to settle them in where he left by himself thereafter.

“All of you follow me.” Leng Shuang said to them, leading them further into the courtyard.
