A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 705: This kid is quite strong. Song Ning then assigned tasks to the remaining people one by one.

There were two older girls who knew how to sew, so Song Ning put them in charge of the sewing room in the mansion. The other four younger girls were assigned to different courtyards to work with the four maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong.

As for the young men, one was arranged to be with Uncle Hong, one was arranged to follow Uncle Zhang and be responsible for going out to purchase things, and the remaining three were asked to follow the original servants in the mansion and be responsible for miscellaneous matters in the mansion.

Finally, it was the arrangement for Zhaodi and her daughter. Zhaodi’s mother’s surname was also Zhang, so let’s call her Zhang.

Song Ning looked at her and said, "From now on, you will be in the kitchen with Aunt Zhang, responsible for preparing three meals a day in the mansion."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhang responded respectfully. Everyone was assigned a task, leaving only Zhaodi. She felt a little nervous, not knowing how the lady would arrange for the child.

Song Ning smiled at the little girl and said in a brisk tone, "Zhao Di, you can stay here! Do some work like serving tea and pouring water on weekdays, okay?"

When facing children, Song Ning is habitually patient, for fear of scaring the children.

Fortunately, although this child had such an unfortunate family background, he was not timid. He opened his bright big eyes and responded crisply with a "yes".

After arranging the tasks, in order to make it easier for everyone to remember each other, Song Ning decided to change their names. This was not the first time she had done such a thing and she already had experience.

The first one to change her name was Zhaodi. In Song Ning's opinion, this name was the most despicable name in the world, and she felt uncomfortable even calling it that.

"Since you are all here, it is a new beginning. No matter what you were called in the past, from today on, you should change to a new name! Especially you, Zhaodi."

Seeing that her mistress did not hide her dislike for the name Zhaodi, Zhaodi's mother Zhang hurriedly asked for a name, "Madam, please understand that Zhaodi is a cheap name. It is really not suitable for me to serve you. Please give me a blessed name."

Song Ning nodded, thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea: "From now on, let's drop the name Zhaodi and call her Baozhu instead!"

Baozhu, like a pearl and a treasure, is indeed a blessed name.

The little girl was very happy with her new name, but her mother thought more about it. For the first time, she felt valued because of a name.

In the past, her child was considered worse than a roadside weed in the eyes of her husband and mother-in-law, but now he was treated so tenderly. She and her daughter had finally made it through.

Zhang's eyes could not help but turn red. She pulled the child to kneel down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Madam, for giving me the name."

"Get up! Baozhu Niang, you should still use your original surname."

"Thank you, Madam."

The mother and daughter got up from the ground and stood aside.

Song Ning looked at the girls standing below, wondering what names to give them.

The four girls in the palace were named after spring, summer, autumn and winter. She originally wanted to give some girls names like plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo, but the girls in Pingyang County had already used them.

So she thought for a long time, and finally named her after the twenty-four solar terms.

Xiaoxue and Daxue are the two girls in charge of the sewing room.

The other four girls were named Xiaohan, Guyu, Xiaoman and Bailu.

As for those young men, Song Ning was too lazy to think about them, so he asked Hong Bo to use the names of several servants in the original mansion as a reference and give each of them a distinctive name, so that one could tell from the sound that they were people from the mansion.

After everyone's tasks were arranged, Hong Bo saw that Song Ning only had a half-grown maid by her side, so he advised: "Madam, why don't you leave another maid to serve you? Is it okay to have just one child? The young master is a scholar, maybe he should be paired with a book boy."

He always felt that the owner of such a big house had too few people to serve him.

Song Ning disagreed and said with a smile: "It's okay, one person is enough to serve tea and water. We are not used to having too many people serving us. We can do many things by ourselves."

Upon seeing this, Uncle Hong didn't say anything more and instead asked her if she had any other plans next.

"The most urgent thing is to buy two sets of winter clothes for each of them. The weather is getting colder and colder, and what they are wearing is too thin. Uncle Hong, please pass this matter on! And then allocate houses for them to live in. There are not many people in our house, and there are many empty houses. We can arrange for them to live in a more spacious place."

After explaining everything, Uncle Hong quickly took the people down and settled them down. He arranged everything properly, including where everyone should go and where they should live.

After arranging these things, Uncle Hong came back to report to Song Ning. Song Ning was very satisfied with his arrangements, especially the thoughtful arrangement of arranging Baozhu and her daughter to live in the same house.

"Well! That's great, Uncle Hong. You've worked hard. Go down and have a rest!"

Uncle Hong responded and left.

Hang Shuheng and Master Liu went out because Lu Shaocheng sent his servant to tell them to go out for a small gathering. At noon, they were told that they would not be back for lunch.

Qingshuang went to the kitchen to get food, and when she came back, there was a little tail following her.

Song Ning didn't notice at first that there was a small figure following Qing Shuang. Seeing that Qing Shuang had nothing in her hands, she wondered if she had gone to get food, so why did she come back empty-handed?

Qingshuang spread her hands and moved aside. Song Ning then saw Baozhu following behind Qingshuang, walking towards them carrying a large food box.

"Orb?"

Song Ning was a little surprised. She had weighed a food box like that with a few dishes in it and found that the overall weight was not light!

Even if she, an adult, wanted to carry it all the way from the kitchen to here, it would be very strenuous. But now she saw this skinny little girl carrying such a big food box, and it didn't seem strenuous at all.

She looked at Qing Shuang and saw Qing Shuang nodded. "She insisted on doing it and brought it all the way from the kitchen to here."

Song Ning was still surprised when she heard this, but now she believed it a little bit. It turned out that the child was not bragging when he said he was strong.

When Baozhu saw Song Ning, she smiled brightly, "Madam, it's time to eat."

After she finished speaking, she placed the food box on the table and carefully took out the food from the box and arranged it one by one. After doing all this, she quietly stepped aside, intending to wait until the masters finished their meal before taking it away.

Hang Shuheng and Master Liu were not at home. Uncle Chai and Hang Shuyun went out with them. Therefore, the only people having dinner at home were Song Ning and her son, Qingshuang, and Shuisheng, who was busy setting up the swing and did not go out with them.
