When Feng Yu saw the silver, An Shi finally put her mind at ease. She didn't intentionally try to curry favor, but it just so happened that she had prepared the silver yesterday and hadn't expected the royal family to come with betrothal gifts today, making it seem like she was trying to ingratiate herself.

  "Aunt, rest assured that Ah Huang will treat the three sisters well." Feng Yu Huang had no intention of making any promises to An Shi, she knew that for An Shi, being able to live a good life was what she longed for most.

  After sending off Anshi and Xiang Rong, Yao Shi pulled Feng Yu Heng and asked her: "Do you still remember the matter of the substitute medicine being switched back then?"

  Feng Yu nodded, "Originally didn't remember much, but after talking to An Niang for a few words, the memories of childhood became clearer."

  "Your Aunt An is a sensible person," said Yao. "When your mother was the main wife, she didn't try to curry favor with her, and later when our family encountered difficulties, she didn't kick us while we were down either. Instead, just before we left, she secretly stuffed a handful of silver coins into Zi Rui's collar."

  "Good people will have good fortune." She handed the tea cup to Mrs. Yao, "Mother, drink some tea and don't think too much about it. After we move to the neighboring courtyard in two days, there are still many things that need your personal attention."

  Mrs. Yao was originally the mistress of the house, and although she was a bit weak in character, she was still capable of managing a small household. She immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Ah Huang, you don't need to worry about the trivial matters at home. It's time for Zi Rui to start his education."

  She picked up this phoenix feather duster and suddenly remembered, oh yeah, Zi Rui is already six years old, it's time for him to go to school.

  "This matter Ah Huang really overlooked, fortunately, Mother remembered. However, the Feng family's current attitude still needs to be polished, let's wait a few more days and then look for an opportunity to mention it to the mansion."

  The mother and daughter were talking, when outside the gate, Sun Mama led Zhao Mama into the courtyard, followed by an old woman and a group of young maids. The willow garden, which was already crowded with trunks of betrothal gifts, was now packed to capacity.

  Madam Sun led Madam Zhao to various trunks, and after much difficulty, they finally reached the main hall. Madam Zhao's face was full of smiles as she loudly exclaimed: "The second young lady is truly blessed with good fortune, what great luck!"

  Feng Yu sneered coldly in her heart, who was it that followed her family's old master and didn't even give her a proper look before?

  "Mother Zhao said that, I'm just a concubine's daughter, where would I get such good fortune? The good fortune in this household is all on my elder sister and brother, Mother Zhao is an old person, she must be careful with her words."

  Her words made Zhao's mother-in-law speechless, the old lady just couldn't understand, it was obviously a polite phrase, but this second miss somehow didn't get it at all.

  But she only dared to mutter in her heart, and for now, she didn't dare show any displeasure in front of Feng Yu Heng. Instead, she smiled even more than before. Since the previous words couldn't be continued, she simply skipped over them and changed the subject - "This old servant has invited a famous matchmaker from the capital to bring some girls for Second Miss to choose from. Also, Old Madame ordered this old servant to go to the best tailor in the capital to pick out some clothes for Second Miss, Second Master, and Yao Mistress, which have also been brought over. Second Miss, take a look!"

  She finished speaking and beckoned with her hand, and behind her a maid came in carrying garment after garment.

  At this time, the clothes sent to them were naturally good, with good materials and styles, and without those subtle movements before. Feng Yu Huan only took a rough glance and let Huang Quan Wang take those clothes and put them in the inner room.

  Then, the old woman supported by a big yellow tooth also came into the hall, followed by those twenty or so little maids.

  The small outer room was soon packed, and Feng Yu Heng randomly swept her gaze around, seeing that they were all children of 13 or 14 years old. She felt a sense of disgust in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it. In this era, the children of poor families had no better prospects than to become servants for others. Moreover, girls could get married at the age of 15, and those who started working at the age of 10 were everywhere. Even if she wanted to intervene, she didn't have the ability to do so.

  She carefully examined all the little maids and finally chose five with slightly sturdier bodies to do the cleaning, and another three as personal attendants. One followed Sun Shi to serve Madame Yao, one followed Huang Quan to take care of Zi Rui, and the last one stayed by her side with Wang Chuan.

  Madam Zhao saw that Feng Yu Heng didn't seem to want to choose anyone else, so she took the initiative to ask: "Is this enough people? In the future, when we move to the other courtyard, there will be many places where people are needed."

  She waved her hand, "These are enough, I don't like crowds."

  Madam Zhao nodded, "Everything depends on the second young lady." Then she winked at the servant girl, who quickly picked out eight papers from a stack and handed them to Feng Yuexiang. "Second young lady, these are the deeds of sale for the eight maidservants you chose, all of which have been filed with the government office. Please use them with confidence."

  Feng Yu Huan was very satisfied with this.

  Having nothing more to say, Zhao's mother left with a smile, leaving eight newly selected maids standing in the hall waiting for arrangements.

  Feng Yu Huan didn't have any experience in this aspect either, so he shifted his gaze towards Yao Shi.

  Yao took over the task with ease and asked, "Do you have your original names?"

  One of the bolder maids replied: "There are some, but they're all humble names. I'm afraid to say them out loud for fear of polluting your ears, Master. Please bestow a name upon us."

  Madam Yao thought for a moment and said to the five rough maids, "I'll give you a character as your name, and add one more character that you originally had at the back."

  The five maids spoke in unison, thanking her.

  As for the other three maids who served as attendants, Madam Yao still wanted Feng Yuexiang to make her own decision. At the same time, she also told Feng Yuexiang: "According to the rules, all the maids who serve as attendants are of the first rank. It is said that there should be second-rank ones who serve tea and water, but since you don't like crowds, it's enough to keep these."

  Feng Yu nodded slightly, she didn't really understand these things, fortunately, there was still Yao Shi by her side.

  She glanced at the three girls selected and didn't have much interest in giving them names, so she asked them: "What were your original names?"

  The several maidservants answered in turn: "This servant's name is Qianlan", "This servant's name is Ling'er", "This servant's name is Hanyu".

  "Not bad." She was quite satisfied with these names, "No need to change, just call them like this."

  Who would have thought that the three girls, upon hearing this, immediately knelt down and begged: "Please, mistress, have mercy on us and let us stay! Please, mistress, have mercy on us and let us stay!"

  Feng Yu Huan was confused, "When did I say I wanted to drive you all away?"

  "Slaves acknowledge their masters, and being given a name is the first reward for them. Especially for high-ranking attendants, being given a name means they have completely broken away from everything in the past, and from now on, they will be slaves of the new master."

  Feng Yu Huan finally understood that giving someone a new name was actually a sign of respect, and she had been thinking the opposite all along. She also thought that names were given by parents and shouldn't be changed casually.

  "After a moment's thought, he had an idea: 'Alright then, let's do the same with your names, I'll add a "Qing" character to the front, how about that?'"

  The several maids finally took a breath and said one after another: "Qinglan thanks the master for giving her name, Qingling thanks the master for giving her name, Qingyu thanks the master for giving her name."

  "Good." Feng Yu Heng looked at the new servant girls in the house, and pinched the sale contract in her hand again. In this big and loveless Feng Mansion, she finally had a sense of belonging. "From now on, you will be our servants here. In two days, we will move from this small courtyard to the neighboring mansion. Although the mansion is not large, it still seems a bit short-handed with the current number of people. I am naturally fond of quietness, so you will have more work to do. As for the monthly allowance, in addition to what the Feng Mansion gives you, I will give you an extra share every month."

  The eight maidservants were all delighted upon hearing this and thanked her in unison.

  Feng Yu Huan waved her hand, and her gaze turned to Li Nian's mother and the three people standing at the door: "As for you three, I'm sure your master will have new arrangements soon. This Liu Yuan Temple is small, and it can't hold any more." After finishing speaking, she subtly cast a reassuring glance at Man Xi, who was looking over, and Man Xi secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  Because of the arrival of new people, the small willow garden is not enough to live in. The trousseau boxes were moved all over the courtyard, and Huang Quan and Wangchuan voluntarily offered to take turns keeping watch, while others were arranged by Sun Momo to squeeze into the wing rooms and ear rooms.

  As for Li Mama and the other two, it's unclear what they're thinking, but they'd rather squeeze in with these servants than mention returning to the Golden Jade Pavilion.

  They didn't mention it, and Feng Yu Heng also didn't rush, still calling for Man Xi to serve her in bathing.

  In Li's opinion, this was Fengyu Hong deliberately making things difficult for Manxi, and Bao Tang even took Manxi's side, but Manxi knew in her heart that Second Miss must have something to say to her alone.

  With Feng Yuexiang's instructions, Wang Chuan continued to check the items in the yard with Qingyu, who had been arranged to stay in Feng Yuexiang's house. Man Xi carried bucket after bucket of water into the house, preparing for a bath.

  Feng Yu Huan had long taken out the special medicine for treating ringworm from her space, removed the outer packaging, and poured the liquid into a small porcelain bottle, making it look no different from ancient things.

  After finishing her bath and dressing, she called Manxi to the table, first using nail polish remover to remove the nail polish on top, then letting her stretch out both hands flat, personally using a small brush to carefully apply the medicinal liquid to the surface.

  Manxi naturally didn't know what was applied to her fingernails, but she felt very comfortable, with a slight coolness. The itching of her fingernails, which had been coming and going, stopped in no time.

  She was extremely surprised, and her gaze at Feng Yuhan was filled with heartfelt gratitude. However, Feng Yuhan didn't explain the medicine any further, but instead asked her: "Did Li Nian'er say when she plans to take you all back to Jinyu Yard?"

  "Got it." Man Xi told Feng Yu Heng, "She said to stay behind tonight and see if there's any movement on this side. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll be leaving early tomorrow morning."

  Feng Yu sneered, "Want to see how I plan to arrange these betrothal gifts?"

  Man Xi nodded, "It must be. The madam has always been extremely mindful of money and wealth. With so many good things suddenly appearing on the side of the second young lady, she must want to get them into her own hands."

  "Let her be then." Feng Yu Huang said no more, seeing that Man Xi's hand was dry again, she applied another layer of medicine. Only then did she say: "Tomorrow morning you can follow me back, everything will be as it was before, pay attention to Shen Shi, if I have any business I will come find you myself."

  Man Xi was very clever and immediately understood Feng Yu Heng's meaning, "Second Miss, rest assured that this servant will stay on the other side to make good arrangements for Second Miss."

  "Good." She was satisfied, "Every five days I will send you medicine, and you stay in this room for a while, half an hour later I will apply color to you."
