She turned around and pointed at Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang, saying, "These two are genuine noble sons of aristocratic families. No matter which one of them you follow, it will be a great fortune."

Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other but did not object.

The little girl shook her head and said, "Young lady is my benefactor. I have made a promise and cannot break it. What family Young lady was born in has nothing to do with me. I only know that I will go wherever Young lady goes!"

"Do you really want to follow me?" Lu Ke'er asked.

The little girl nodded solemnly.

"Then what do you know?"

"I can read and write, do math, cook, wash clothes, and embroider... I know everything a girl should know."

Lu Ke'er's eyes lit up.

Did she find a treasure?

I'm just lacking a capable and considerate girl like this.

"It's not impossible for you to follow me." She smiled slightly, "But you have to agree to one condition of mine."

The little girl's eyes flashed with excitement, and she asked anxiously, "What are the conditions?"

"Don't call yourself a slave anymore when you're with me. I don't like it. Just call yourself me."

"Yes, your servant..." After a pause, the girl said softly, "I've made a note of it."

"What's your name?"

"I hope the young lady can give me a name." The little girl replied with her head lowered.

Lu Ke'er looked at her deeply.

Does she not want to mention her real name anymore and is ready to forget all the past?

"Your eyebrows are as beautiful as spring mountains, and your eyes are like rippling autumn water. From now on, you can be called Qiu Shui." Lu Ke'er looked at her appearance and said in a calm voice.

Qiu Shui was excited and responded respectfully, "Thank you, Miss Qiu Shui, for the name."

After thinking for a while, he asked Lu Ke'er again: "Miss, please also give my brother a name."

Lu Ke'er looked at the autumn leaves falling in the wind on the street and said, "It is fate that your brother and I met on this street with autumn leaves flying everywhere. Let's call him Qiuye."

"Qiu Ye..." Qiu Shui smiled happily, "Qiu Shui thanks the young lady on behalf of my brother."

Qiu Ye was still in a coma, so Gao Yutang called another bullock cart in the county town to help transport Qiu Shui and her brother. Considering that there was no room in her house to accommodate them, Lu Ke'er decided to let Qiu Shui and her brother live in Pinxianlou temporarily. Qin Fang would not object for her sake.

The speed of the horse carriage was faster than that of the oxcart. Lu Ke'er and Yu Qianjing rode in the horse carriage first, and told the oxcart driver to drive more steadily, so that the siblings could go to the Pinxianlou in Jinji Town to find the shopkeeper Qin.

The carriage was bumpy on the road, and Lu Ke'er was sitting very uncomfortably. But Gao Yutang was in high spirits, and kept asking her what allergies and immunity were. Tired of being asked, Lu Ke'er had to endure the discomfort while explaining some modern medical knowledge to him. Gao Yutang was so impressed that he said he had chosen the right master.

Lu Ke'er didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

It has been emphasized many times that she is not his master, but this boy seems not to understand what people say and forcibly nails the label of master on her.

When I got home, night had already fallen.

When Lu Mingxi saw the two little pigeons his sister bought, he shouted and jumped excitedly and was extremely happy.

Xiao Pa stared at the two pigeons with fierce eyes and licked his sharp claws from time to time, which frightened the two little pigeons so much that they trembled.

"Cuckoo..."

The owner also has a big and ferocious guy, so scary.

Lu Ke'er stroked Xiaopa's increasingly shiny black fur, and reminded him in a soothing and warning tone: "Xiaohei and Xiaobai are new members of our family, you are not allowed to bully them!"

"Meow..."

Master, you actually gave these two annoying little guys names? That's too much! Woohoo, Xiaopa is no longer the only one for you...

When Lu Ke'er heard Xiao Pa's voice, she was speechless for a moment.

I only knew that humans could be jealous, but it turns out that animals can be jealous too.

Ji had already prepared the food for them. However, Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang sat at the table without moving their chopsticks. They stared at Lu Ke'er eagerly. The information revealed in their eyes was too obvious.

Lu Ke'er thought, never mind, who asked them to accompany her as free labor for a day? It was only right to add two more dishes for them.

After washing her hands and going to the kitchen, Lu Keer picked up some ingredients bought from the Xilin County market and made an appetizing dish of spicy diced chicken, delicious charcoal-grilled pork chops, and a fragrant wild vegetable soup.

As soon as the dishes were served, Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang reached for their chopsticks like hungry tigers pouncing on their food.

After one meal, everyone's stomachs were bloated.

Lu Ke'er made a pot of hawthorn tea and gave each person a cup to help them digest the food.

Gao Yutang drank the fragrant fruit tea and sighed regretfully: "Master, I really don't want to leave your house. Why don't we stay here tonight?"

Lu Keer glared at him and said, "You can see that there is no extra space for you at home. Drink quickly so you can go back home after you finish drinking!"

"This tea is good." Yu Qianjing asked for some, "Give each of us a can."

"That's all, this is the last bit!" Lu Ke'er replied unhappily.

Lu Mingxi was puzzled: "Sister, I saw a big jar yesterday. How come it's gone?"

This kid only knows how to ruin her plans.

Lu Ke'er cast a vicious look at the little kid.

But the little kid wasn't afraid of her, and said with a grin, "Sister, you're reluctant to give it to Brother Yu, right?"

Lu Ke'er was about to answer when she heard loud and rapid knocks on the front door.

"Who is it? It's dark now..." Ji muttered and walked over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Yunhua's plump body rushed in, accompanied by that annoying loud voice: "Ji Li Niang, what are you dawdling about? It took you so long to open the door!"

Lu Ke'er was so angry that she almost laughed. She glared at Lin Yunhua who came to the hall uninvited and said sarcastically, "Aunt Lin, how anxious are you! My mother rushed to open the door for you as soon as she heard your thunderous knocking on the door. She didn't waste any time. Do you want my mother to fly over to open the door?"

“Lu Ke’er, don’t think that you are so arrogant just because your Lu family has curry favor with the distinguished guests and that you have someone backing you up! No matter how arrogant you are, you are just a little peasant girl. Do you really think…” Lin Yunhua glanced at Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang who were sitting in the hall, and suddenly stopped talking.

When it was getting dark, she saw a carriage driving into the village and heading straight for the Lu family. After returning home and having dinner, she felt more and more unwilling and jealous. So, she rushed to the Lu family in a fit of anger.

She had guessed that the visitors who came to the Lu family in a carriage must be respectable people of status and position, but she did not expect that the visitors were actually two handsome and noble young men.

One look at the temperament of the two young men revealed that they came from wealthy families.

Her pair of squinty eyes immediately lit up.

Being stared at by a middle-aged woman with such undisguised greed, Yu Qianjing felt uncomfortable all over.
