Although they had just moved to Zhuxiang Yayuan, everything had been tidied up by Mrs. Lu, and Xu Rongrong didn't bring many items.

Therefore, just the few people brought by Wen Yao and Mrs. Xiao could quickly take care of things.

As the water in the tea room boils, the fragrance of tea overflows. The midday sun shines through the bamboo forest and shines on the jade tables and stools in the courtyard, which gives a feeling of tranquility and relaxation.

Afraid that Xu Rongrong would be cold, Mrs. Xiao added cushions on the jade table and stools, which were soft and considerate.

"There is still a while for lunch. If the county master is free, I will call the people who are waiting in the small garden to come over and recognize your face?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

Xu Rongrong nodded, just having nothing to do to pass the time.

Because she is taking care of the county lord, seven of the nine people Zhuxiang Yayuan currently serves are maids.

At a glance, some of them had served in the village in the southern suburbs, some looked familiar, and most of them were seen for the first time.

Mrs. Xiao called two of them who looked familiar to her: "These two girls are Jixiang and Ruyi. They served in the village in the southern suburbs before. Their parents are still in the village now. They are both solid and honest people."

After she finished speaking, Jixiang and Ruyi stepped forward to say hello.

Xu Rongrong nodded, and Wen Yao handed over two purses.

Since he is a person who knows the basics, it is natural for Wen Yao to lead him to work in the inner courtyard.

So the two girls hurriedly thanked Wen Yao.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "Master Zhuangzi has no knowledge. These two girls have been calling them lucky and wishful since they were young. Their names are a bit vulgar, and they asked the county master to give them their names."

Xu Rongrong knew that this was Mrs. Xiao's good intention, to show her style and authority in front of the servants.

However, since they were born into Zhuangzi's family, they naturally knew the rules since childhood, so they smiled and said: "I see that these two names have very good meanings, and they are in line with the current scene of moving to a new home, so there is no need to change them."

The two girls were busy thanking each other and stepped aside.

The remaining five girls were sent by acquaintances from the dental shop. They are younger and look thin, but they are also smart.

Xu Rongrong asked about their names and origins one by one, and then said: "Since you started following me from Zhuxiang Yayuan, please call them Zhuyu, Zhuqing, Zhuyun, Zhuying and Zhuxi in turn. Normally we don’t need so many people to serve us, so you can just follow Aunt Xiao from now on.”

"Yes." Wu Zhu responded in unison.

The sound of "Mama Xiao" immediately made Mrs. Xiao startled slightly.

She knew that these three plain words meant that the county leader recognized her identity, and she would follow the county leader as a nanny in the future.

She was originally a despised old woman who was driven away and wandered with her disabled husband. If she hadn't been able to see things through, she would have drowned herself in the river.Thanks to God's mercy, the Marquis Mansion gave her a place to live. Although she was asked to serve at the Zhuangzi, the master's family rarely interfered with her, so her life had been very easy these past few months.

Now that the county boss has recognized her as a nanny, she can serve her by her side for a long time.For Zheng Xiao, who had been homeless for a long time, this was a great kindness.

For a moment, her eyes became moist.

Slightly choked with sobs: "The old slave will take good care of them and make them useful people around the county master in the future!"

Xu Rongrong looked at her with red eyes and was a little frightened. She didn't expect that her gentle words would stir up so many thoughts in Mrs. Xiao's heart.

She also knew what "Mommy" meant, but as for herself, she was not someone who could live idle in the back house, and she really needed a more appropriate person to take care of things.There is no such person in Xu Mansion, and even if there is, she would not dare to use him. Among the people she has known in this life, only Zheng Xiao is suitable.

In addition, when she first met Mr. Zheng Xiao, she had a feeling of kindness, which was probably a rare fate.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's grateful look, Xu Rongrong stood up and gave her a soft hand: "I can trust Aunt Xiao, so I feel relieved to leave them to you."

With a few moves, Mrs. Xiao stood still in front of the new servants.

After introducing the girl, Granny Xiao... Granny Xiao called in the two young men who were waiting outside.

"This is Wu Ping. He used to drive the carriage on Zhuangzi. Now that the county lord has to go out rarely in the capital, the old slave brought him here."

"The other is Xiao Sheng, the son of Lao Shengtou, who is in charge of purchasing at Zhuangzi. He has been working with his father since he was a child. He is a good hand at cooking and purchasing."

"Both of them are sons of Zhuangzi, and they are only sons. Both parents are working in Zhuangzi now. If the county master wants to ask Zhuangzi to handle something, they are familiar with each other."

Xu Rongrong smiled when he heard this and said, "Mama Xiao's arrangement is really very appropriate."

Wu Ping and Xiao Sheng hurriedly came forward and kowtowed, and Wen Yao also gave them two purses.

Calling Wen Yao out today, Xu Rongrong also deliberately asked her to take over various matters in Zhuxiang Yayuan. After all, the days will be long in the future, and she cannot let this girl just hang around her house all the time.

There were not many people, and there were few things to do, so they were all explained quickly.

Knowing that the county master has not fully recovered yet, Aunt Xiao wisely led everyone to retreat, while she herself took Wu Zhu and others to the kitchen to let them get more familiar with the work there.

As soon as the person walked away, Xu Rongrong saw a young man in the corner poking his head.

She smiled and said, "Come in."

Chu Yun jumped out from the corner and ran over in a hurry. He imitated the appearance of the previous servant and saluted quickly: "I have met the county master."

"You are staying here as a guest, not a servant girl, so you don't have to be like them." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.

When Chu Yun heard this, he stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Why has the county master lost so much weight? How healthy is he now? When Brother Luo told me earlier, I was almost scared to death!"

His eyes were round and round, with the seriousness of a young man.

Xu Rongrong patted his head: "Looking at how strong I am, it's natural that I'm completely healed."

Chu Yun rubbed his head and frowned with a smile: "Then I'll be relieved!"

His look of no scheming, coupled with the fragrance of bamboo in the garden, made Xu Rongrong laugh.

As he spoke, he kept looking around: "Why haven't you seen Sister Luo Shu?"

"She went to run an errand for me and will be back later."

"Oh..." The young man was a little disappointed. He curled his lips and put the small object in his heart back into his sleeve.

Xu Rongrong glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, but did not say anything: "If you have anything to do with her, I will come over to see you when she comes back."

Chu Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, the county master's business is important."

The sensible young man ran away with a red face.

Looking at his back, Wen Yao smiled and said: "It's really strange. This child can't finish talking in front of Luoshu. He has a sister in his mouth and is so sweet. Why is he so shy today and doesn't say a few words? Just leave?"

"Didn't you see? He came here specifically to find Luo Shu." Xu Rongrong smiled.

"I see."

Xu Rongrong had never had a close relationship with Chu Yunshen, and it was because of Chu He that she took care of him, so she didn't want to think too much about it at this time.

She raised her head and looked at the noon sky: "I think it's time to start over there."
